My Happiness
My Happiness
Composer(s): Betty Peterson; Borney Bergantine
Performer(s): Connie Francis
and various other artists
Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness
Every day I reminesce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
My happiness
A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness
A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness

Goodbye Sadness
Goodbye Sadness
((Portuguese Version: Tristeza (Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66))
Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto & Walter Wanderly Trio
La la la-la la
The big sadness the heart feels
Let it leave mine forever
Let my lips sing again
From this day on my days are days of sun and roses
My life's a carnival of song
From this day on my dear the door to sorrow closes
This day when you came along
La la la-la la
The big sadness the heart feels
Let it leave mine forever
Let my lips sing again
From this day on my days are days of sun and roses
My life's a carnival of song
From this day on my dear the door to sorrow closes
This day when you came along

Kashmiri Song
Kashmiri Song
Composer(s): Amy Woodforde-Finden
Performer(s): Maggie Teyet
and multiple other artists
Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar
Where are you now, who lies beneath your spell
Who do you lead on rapture's roadway far
Before you agonise them in farewell
Before you agonise them in farewell
Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar
Where are you now, where are you now
Pale hands, pink tipped, like Lotus buds that float
On those cool waters where we used to dwell
I would have rather felt you round my throat
Crushing out life, than waving me farewell
Crushing out life, than waving me farewell
Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar
Where are you now, where are you now

My Handy Man
My Handy Man
Composer(s): Andy Razaf; Eubie Blake
Performer(s): Ethel Waters
and various other artists
Whoever said a good man is hard to find
Positively, absolutely sure was blind
I've found the best man there ever was
Here's just some of the things that my man does
Why he shakes my ashes, greases my griddle
Chimes my butter and he strokes my fiddle
My man is such a handy man (oh yes he is)
He threads my needle, creams my wheat
Heats my heater and he chops my meat
My man is such a handy man
Now I don't care if you believe it or not
He's so good to have around
And when my furnace gets too hot
He's right there and turns my damper down
Why for everything he's got a scheme
You oughta see that new stuff he uses on my machine
That man is such a handy man (he's God's gift girls)
Why he flaps my flapjacks, cleans off my table
Feeds my horses out in my stable
That man is such a handy man, mmm yeah
Sometimes he's up long before the dawn
Busy trimmin' the rough edges off my front lawn
Yeah that man is such a handy man
Why you know he never has a single word to say
No, not while he's working hard
And I wished that you could see the way
He handles my front yard
Yeah you know my ice don't get a chance to melt away
'Cause he sees that I get that fresh piece every day
My man, my man is such a handy man
And I ain't kiddin'!

Goodbye Roseland
Goodbye Roseland
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Performer(s): Styx
A busy airport in a boring town
You bought your ticket and I knew you meant it
While we stood in line we didn’t even try
Three car crash on a two lane bridge
We never really had an understanding
I’m really glad it’s over now
Goodbye…
All you are is part of yesterday
Just a headline on some wrapping paper
Still in the end it turned out to be a lie
Now there’s nothing standing in my way
Not even memories of the few good moments
I carry nothing—I’m so light that I could fly
Goodbye…

My Guy
My Guy
French Title: Ma Fille
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson
Originally performed by: Mary Wells
Covered by various other artists
Nothing you could say could take me away from my guy
Nothing you could do, 'cuz I'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather we stick together
I'm telling you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are
I'm telling you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
Composer(s): Charles Mingus; Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Charles Mingus;
and various other artists
When Charlie speaks of Lester
You know someone great has gone
The sweetest swinging music man
Had a Porkie Pig hat on
A bright star
In a dark age
When the bandstands had a thousand ways
Of refusing a black man admission
Black musician
In those days they put him in an
Underdog position
Cellars and chitlins'
When Lester took him a wife
Arm and arm went black and white
And some saw red
And drove them from their hotel bed
Love is never easy
It's short of the hope we have for happiness
Bright and sweet
Love is never easy street!
Now we are black and white
Embracing out in the lunatic New York night
It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town
Or be hung in a tree
That's unlikely!
Tonight these crowds
Are happy and loud
Children are up dancing in the streets
In the sticky middle of the night
Summer serenade
Of taxi horns and fun arcades
Where right or wrong
Under neon
Every feeling goes on!
For you and me
The sidewalk is a history book
And a circus
Dangerous clowns
Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions
They have been handed
Day by day
Generations on down
We came up from the subway
On the music midnight makes
To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone
In taxi horns and brakes
Now Charlie's down in Mexico
With the healers
So the sidewalk leads us with music
To two little dancers
Dancing outside a black bar
There's a sign up on the awning
It says "Pork Pie Hat Bar"
And there's black babies dancing
Tonight

Telecide
Telecide
Composer(s): Cotton Bend - Fee Waybill - Vince Welnick
Performer(s): The Tubes
Listen boys and girls
About the other world
It's just a day job
Night job
Odd job
Nose job
Hand job
Blow job
Rack job
Snow job
Boring 9-to-5 job
Rather have a knob job
Things get too inertial
No time for commercials
I'd rather be a clone
I guess I'm going home
To visit Kojak
Gong Show
Happy Days
Adam-12
Edge Of Night
Love Of Life
Merv and Mike
Good Times
Make A Deal
Charlie's Angels
Family Feud
Feeling so much thinner
I need a TV dinner
I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore
TV suicide
TV suicide
What a lovely way to die
It's a television suicide
Please stand by
We're coming to you live
'Cause we got news
Hot news
Flash news
Trash news
Funny news
Stupid news
Comprehensive overviews
Eyewitness TV news
Brought to you by Gucci shoes
This one is so juicy
We're pre-empting Lucy
Coming down the street
The sound of running feet
He's at the front door
Back door
Side door
Cellar door
First floor
Second floor
Third floor
Bedroom door
Throws himself across the floor
Turns it on to Channel 4
Stay tuned to this channel
For our all-star panel
I used to know him
He seemed like a regular guy
TV suicide
TV suicide
What a lovely way to die
It's another case of telecide
TV suicide

What a lovely way to die
It's a television suicide

My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama
My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Originally performed by: Frank Zappa
Covered by various other artists
You know, your mama and your daddy
Saying I'm no good to you
They call me dirty from the alley
Till I don't know what to do
I get so tired of sneakin' around
Just to get to your back door
I crawled past the garbage and
Your mama jumped out, screamin'
"Don't come back no more"
I can't take it
My guitar wants to kill your mama
My guitar wants to kill your mama
My guitar wants to burn your dad
I get real mean when it makes me mad
Later I tried to call you
Your mama told me you weren't there
She told me don't bother to call again
Unless I cut off all my hair
I get so tired of sneakin' around
Just to get to your back door
I crawled past the garbage and
Your mama jumped out, screamin'
"Don't come back no more"
Later I tried to call you
Your mama told me you weren't there
She told me don't bother to call again
Unless I cut off all my hair
I get so tired of sneakin' around
Just to get to your back door
I crawled past the garbage and
Your mama jumped out, screamin'
"Don't come back no more"
My guitar wants to kill your mama
My guitar wants to kill your mama
My guitar wants to burn your dad
I get real mean when it makes me mad

Tel Qu'il Est
Tel Qu'il Est
Composer(s): Maurice Alexander - Maurice Vander
Performer(s): Fréhel
and multiple other artists
J'avais rêvé d'avoir un homme
un vrai de vrai, bien balancé
mais je suis chipée pour la pomme
d'un avorton, complet'ment j'té
Ce n'est pas un Apollon mon Jules
il n'est pas taillé comme un Hercule
Malgré qu'il ait bien des défauts
C'est lui que j'ai dans la peau
Tel qu'il est, il me plaît
Il me fait de l'effet
Et je l'aime
C'est un vrai gringalet
aussi laid qu'un basset
mais je l'aime
Il est bancal
du coté cérébral
mais ça m'est bien égal
qu'il ait l'air anormal
C'est complet, il est muet
ses quinquets sont en biais
C'est un fait que tel qu'il est
il me plaît
Il est carré mais ses épaules
par du carton, sont rembourrées
Quand il est tout nu ça fait drôle
On n'en voit plus que la moitié
Il n'a pas un seul poil sur la tête
mais il en a plein sur les gambettes
Et celui qu'il a dans la main
c'est pas du poil c'est du crin
Tel qu'il est, il me plaît
Il me fait de l'effet
Et je l'aime
C'est un vrai gringalet
aussi laid qu'un basset
mais je l'aime
Il est bancal
du coté cérébral
mais ça m'est bien égal
qu'il ait l'air anormal
C'est complet, il est muet
ses quinquets sont en biais
C'est un fait que tel qu'il est
il me plaît
Le travail pour lui c'est la chose
la plus sacrée, il y touche pas
Pour tenir le coup il se dose
de quintonine, à tous les r'pas
Ce qui n'est pas marrant c'est qu'il ronfle
on dirait un pneu qui se dégonfle
Et quand il faut se bagarrer
il est encore dégonflé
Tel qu'il est, il me plaît
Il me fait de l'effet
Et je l'aime
C'est un vrai gringalet
aussi laid qu'un basset
mais je l'aime
Il est bancal
du coté cérébral
mais ça m'est bien égal
qu'il ait l'air anormal
C'est complet, il est muet
ses quinquets sont en biais
C'est un fait que tel qu'il est
il me plaît

My Grandfather's Girl
My Grandfather's Girl
Composer(s): Will A. Dillon
I love her, I love her, and always will, my grandmother dear
I can see her still
Her old fashioned bonnet and gingham gown
when she rode with dear old grandpa into town
Though she was eighty-two, he loved her fond and true
Who was it, who was it, on Christmas night
that filled up your stocking with such delight?
'twas grandma, 'twas grandma
I know because, she was always a good old Santa Claus
The cakes and candies, too, she'd give them all to you
My grandfather's girl was a grand old girl
and she lived in the house on the hill
My granddaddy first met his first little girl
down by the old red mill
And together they wandered down the lane
to the church where she changed her name
A rare precious pearl was my grandfather's girl
yes, she was a grand old girl!

Composer(s): Mario Panas; Klaus Munro; Jack Lloyd
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Hör den Wind der sein Lied dir singt
Er weiß, dass ich heute von dir geh'
Weine nicht wenn der Abschied kommt
Denn Tränen tun so weh
Goodbye my love goodbye
Goodbye auf Wiedersehn
Die Zeit im Sommersonnenschein
Mit dir allein, war schön
Goodbye my love goodbye
Das Glück wird nie vergehn
Ich bleib dir treu
Bis wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Überall werd ich einsam sein
Denn dich vergessen kann ich nie
Nur der Wind er begleitet mich
Mit seiner Melodie
Goodbye my love goodbye
Goodbye auf Wiedersehn
Die Zeit im Sommersonnenschein
Mit dir allein, war schön
Goodbye my love goodbye
Das Glück wird nie vergehn
Ich bleib dir treu
Bis wir uns einmal wiedersehn
Goodbye my love goodbye
Goodbye auf Wiedersehn
Die Zeit im Sommersonnenschein
Mit dir allein, war schön
Goodbye my love goodbye
Das Glück wird nie vergehn
Ich bleib dir treu
Bis wir uns einmal wiedersehn

Tegen Beter Weten In
Tegen Beter Weten In
Performer(s): Astrid Nijgh
Ik was klein en ons tuintje was de wereld
een zandbak met een schutting eromheen
Wat erachter was, dat mocht ik zelf verzinnen
een grote tuin vol bloemen en een zon die altijd scheen
En dat bleef zo al ontdekte ik ook later
dat er niets was dan wat onkruid en wat puin
Want de werkelijkheid heeft immers niets te maken
met die zelfbedachte echte bloementuin
Van de wereld was die schutting wel het einde
van mijn eigen wereld was hij het begin
En daar bleef ik in geloven
tegen beter weten in
Op het lyceum zat ik jarenlang gevangen
als een vreemde vage vlinder in de klas
In mijn dagboek schreef ik wilde toekomstdromen
want na het eindexamen begon het leven pas
En al liep ik later eenzaam vele blauwtjes
ergens op een koude kamer in de stad
Ik wist zeker: morgen zou het echt beginnen
het grootse leven dat ik voor me had
Het van vroeger was vandaag altijd het einde
van iets beters en iets nieuws steeds het begin
En daar bleef ik in geloven
tegen beter weten in
En zo kwam ik steeds bij weer een nieuwe schutting
met daarachter weer een ander paradijs
En steeds bleek dat weer een veld vol distels
En zo werd ik langzaam ouder en heel erg langzaam wijs
Maar al ben ik dan toch wat men noemt volwassen
en schuttingen, daar kijk ik overheen
wanneer ze zeggen: eens wordt alles anders
en eens dan worden alle mensen een
En er is geen einde aan het laatste einde
er is alleen een eeuwig nieuw begin
dat zal ik dan onmiddellijk geloven
tegen beter weten in
Er is geen einde aan het laatste einde
er is alleen een eeuwig nieuw begin
dat zal ik altijd wel geloven
tegen beter weten in
tegen beter weten in
tegen beter weten in
tegen beter weten in

My Grandfather's Clock
My Grandfather's Clock (aka Grandfather's Clock)
Composer(s): Henry Clay Work
Performer(s): Hank Snow
and various other artists
My grandfather's clock
Was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half
Than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
In watching its pendulum
Swing to and fro
Many hours had he spent while a boy
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy
For it struck twenty-four
When he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
My grandfather said
That of those he could hire
Not a servant so faithful he found
For it wasted no time
And had but one desire
At the close of each week to be wound.
And it kept in its place
Not a frown upon its face
And its hand never hung by its side
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
It rang an alarm
In the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit
Was pluming his flight
That his hour of departure had come
Still the clock kept the time
With a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died

Hear the wind sing a sad old song
It knows I'm leaving you today
Please don't cry or my heart will break
When I go on my way
Goodbye my love, goodbye
Goodbye and au revoir

I'll never be too far
Goodbye my love, goodbye

So hold me in your dreams
Till I come back to you
See the stars in the skies above
They'll shine wherever I may roam
I will pray ev'ry lonely night
That soon they'll guide me home
Goodbye my love, goodbye
Goodbye and aurevoir
As long as you'll remember me
I'll never be too far
Goodbye my love, goodbye
I always will be true
So hold me in your dreams
Till I come back to you ....

A pris du LSD
Un sucre et la voici
Au bord de la folie
Une Rolls la frôle de son aile
Un prince du rock est au volant
Il lui fait signe agitant vers elle
Ses fines dentelles et ses volants
Teenie Weenie Boppie
A pris du LSD
Un sucre et la voici
À terre évanouie
Un grand garçon en habit sudiste
Lui tend ses deux mains gantées de blanc
À son doigt une mauve améthyste
En la griffant s'est teintée de blanc
Teenie Weenie Boppie
A pris du LSD
Un sucre et la voici
Déjà à l'agonie
Que sont ces fleurs aux couleurs exquises
Qui dérivent au fil du courant
C'est Mike Jagger qui dans la Tamise
S'est noyé dans ses beaux vêtements
Teenie Weenie Boppie
Est morte dans la nuit
De quoi, mais d'avoir pris
Une dose de LSD
