Candy Store Blues
Candy Store Blues
Composer(s): Eddie Beal - Nick Castle - Herb Jefferies
Performer(s): Toni Harper; Maria Muldaur
Last night I dreamt that I owned a candy store
Last night I dreamt that I owned a candy store
Woke up this mornin' just like the day before
Got five pennies and I don't know what to do
Got five pennies and I don't know what to do
I need another nickel for the bubblegum I chew
There's a little wagon passin'
Every afternoon at four
And the bells they start to ringin'
Every time they pass my door
Yes, I love him
I love that good, good humour man
He's got lots of frozen custard
That's how this love began
He said, "Hey, little baby
If you didn't get enough
Don't you worry 'bout no money
You can put it on the cuff"
Yes, I love him
I love that good, good humour man
He's got lots of tutti-frutti
I could eat it by the can

Femme Sous Influence
Femme Sous Influence
Composer(s): J.M. Moreau; R. Musumarra
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
D'un mot d'un regard
Tu me renverses et changes l'histoire
Tu planes sur ma vie
Immobile
Comme un aigle sur le Nil
Un jour de chaleur
Tu as planté ta force et ton cœur
Sur ma terre d'argile
Trop fragile
Comme un drapeau sur une île
{Refrain:}
Les yeux fermés je t'aime à l'avance
Quand tu es loin j't'écoute à distance
Je suis toujours et sans défaillance
Une femme sous influence
Et je te suis dans tes rêves immenses
Même dans le noir je te fais confiance
Je suis au fil de ton existence
Une femme sous influence
Sous le signe de toi
Je suis née un matin dans tes bras
Et j'ai vu le jour
Pour toujours sous influence d'amour
Ascendance heureuse
Pour toi je nage en eaux dangereuses
Même quand tu as tort
Je t'aime encore
Comme un volcan dans mon corps
{au Refrain}
Tu traces les couleurs
Les lignes de mon bonheur
Entre tes mains
Court mon destin
Sans fin
{au Refrain}

The Blues Is All I Ever Had
The Blues Is All I Ever Had
Composer(s): Bobby Troup
Performer(s): Julie London
Some folks always seem to find the good things
Other folks get mixed up with the bad
Don't ask me what I know about the good things
The blues is all I ever had
To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces
For those lucky few, I'm awful glad
My world's been a string of second places
The blues is all I ever had
When I first met him, I thought that maybe
He could change this lonely life I led
When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby"
Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said
Guess it's time for me to say "good bye" now
Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad
Since he's gone, what is there left to try now?
The blues is all I ever had

Candy Says
Candy Says
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Candy says I've come to hate my body
and all that it requires in this world
Candy says I'd like to know completely
what others so discretely talk about
Candy says I hate the quiet places
that cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
that cause endless revisions in my mind
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

Femme Fatale
Femme Fatale
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground;
and various other artists
Here she comes, you better watch your step
She’s going to break your heart in two, it’s true
It’s not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown
’cause everybody knows (she’s a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (she’s a femme fatale)
She’s just a little tease (she’s a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks
You’re written in her book
You’re number 37, have a look
She’s going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she’s from the street
Before you start, you’re already beat
She’s gonna play you for a fool, yes it’s true
’cause everybody knows (she’s a femme fatale)
The things she does to please (she’s a femme fatale)
She’s just a little tease (she’s a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

The Blues Don't Bother Me
The Blues Don't Bother Me
Performer(s): The Blues Brothers Band
If you're wonderin'
What's all the noise
I'm in the backroom
With the girls and boys
Were' discussing the blues
And they don't seem to see
The blues is all I play
The blues don't bother me
When I was a little boy
Sittin' on my papa's knee
I couldn't a been no older than two or three
He said I am a blues man
You're gonna take after me
After me
The blues is my companion
The blues don't bother me
They don't bother me
No they don't
When I go to bed at night
I'll throw on a record or two
If I didn't have these blues
I wouldn't know what to do
I need them to soothe me
To ease my misery
The blues is my companion
They don't bother me
They don't bother me
The blues don't bother me
They don't bother me
keeps me company
I got the blues
Relieves my misery
Keeps me company
The blues don't bother me
I got the blues

Femme F.M.
Femme F.M.
Composer(s): Claude Moine; M. Gaucher
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Je bois jusqu'à l'aube les moindres mots
D'un oiseau de nuit "Star Radio"
Qui m'emmène goûter sur ses ondes F.M.
Son "sirop" micro
Solitaire, j'attends en solo
Un sommeil noyé dans peu d'eau
Au réveil, sa voix n'est plus qu'un écho
J'éteins la radio
J'aime une femme F.M., déesse stéréo
J'aime une femme F.M., disc-jockey de nuit
Star radio, star radio
Parfois, j'suis en planque, j'la surveille
Je l'attends, elle sort du studio
Elle ignore que je suis là, je l'observe
Vivre dans mon rétro
Elle court vers un homme, ça m'énerve
Je démarre, car pour moi c'est trop
Un voyeur, c'est tout c'que j'suis bon à faire
J'allume la radio
J'aime une femme F.M., déesse stéréo
J'aime une femme F.M., disc-jockey de nuit
Star radio, star radio
J'aime une femme F.M., déesse stéréo
J'aime une femme F.M., disc-jockey de nuit
Star radio, star radio

The Bluebells Of Scotland
The Bluebells Of Scotland
(Traditional)
Oh where, tell me where is your highland laddie gone?
Oh where, tell me where is your highland laddie gone?
He's gone with streaming banners where noble deeds are done
And it's oh! in my heart I wish him safe at home
Oh where, tell me where did your highland laddie dwell?
Oh where, tell me where did your highland laddie dwell?
He dwelt in bonnie Scotland where bloom the sweet bluebells
And it's oh! in my heart I rue my laddie well
Oh what, tell me what if your highland lad be slain?
Oh what, tell me what if your highland lad be slain?
Oh no, true love will be his guide and bring him safe again
For it's oh! my heart would break if my highland lad were slain

C'est une femme la nuit qui aime autant qu elle oublie
Et qui s'y perd chaque fois je lui ressemble je crois

Amour que l'on n'attend pas

The Blue Velvet Band
The Blue Velvet Band
Composer(s): Hank Snow
Performer(s): Hank Snow
If you listen a story I'll tell you
Of a girl who once lived in this land
A girl who was once my sweetheart
She was know as The Blue Velvet Band
On her cheeks was the first flush of nature
Her beauty, it seemed to expand
Her hair hung down in long tresses
Tied back with a blue velvet band
I can still see those tears as we parted
Of my heart broken Blue Velvet Band
As I left I told her I'd never
Come back to my old home again
Five years on the wide open spaces
Was all that my poor heart could stand
every night as I lay on my pillow
I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band
Then one night as I lay down dreaming
Of home and poor mother and dad
Like a flash by my bedside was standing
The form of my Blue Velvet Band
I started next day for my darling
Just to go back and make her my bride
But as I reached the old country depot
They told my my sweet heart has died
They laid her to rest in the churchyard
Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land
On her finger the ring I had bought her
On her head was a blue velvet band

Femme
Comme vous moi je suis femme
Pour des riens mon cœur s'enflamme
Quand je suis amoureuse
Je deviens femme heureuse
Prête à toutes les folies
Tout quitter en pleine nuit
Pour aller suivre à tout prix
Ma chance
Femme
Comme vous moi je suis femme
Mélodie ou mélodrame
Quelquefois indocile mais souvent femme fragile
Si parfois mon cœur s'ennuie
Entre ses bras je revis
Alors simplement je suis
Sa femme à lui
Avec lui je suis femme, femme
Femme
Comme vous moi je suis femme
Pour des riens mon cœur s'enflamme
Quand je suis amoureuse
Je deviens femme heureuse
Si parfois mon cœur s'ennuie
Entre ses bras je revis
Alors simplement je suis
Sa femme
Femme
Comme vous moi je suis femme
Même joie et même larme
Faire semblant de partir
Pour mieux le retenir
Et tant pis si ça fait mal
Tout cela m'est bien égal
Je deviens sentimentale
Et femme, sa femme à lui

The Blue Danube
The Blue Danube
Composer(s): Johann Strauss II - Sol Meyer - Del Porter - Spike Jones
Performer(s): Spike Jones
All the years have come, and the years have gone
but the oft told tale is not true
for of all the things the Danube is
the Danube is not blue
The Danube is green
what's more it ain't clean
It's green as a bean
It ain't not serene
And though the blueberry looks a little purple
And though your maple syrup looks a little murple
Don't believe what you have heard or you have saw
Oh the Danube isn't blue, it's green
Oh, the Danube is green as the grass in the spring
It's as green as the dollar you spend on a fling
It's as green as the paint that you put on the screen
Oh the blue of the Danube is greener than green
The Danube isn't blue (Am I blue? No!)
The Danube has another hue (Who? Me? You!)
It's time we all came clean, (B.O.)
'Cause the Danube isn't blue, it's green

Candy Kisses (Neil Sedaka)
Candy Kisses
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka - Phil Cody
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
My old lady she's so sweet and fine
I can't help wanting her kisses all the time
I run to meet her like a kid with a dollar
To the corner candy store
It's what I'm livin' for
But I want mooore...than your candy kisses
She starts movin' I say "Honey please"
("I don't want your kisses")
I ain't foolin', you know it isn't right to tease
("I don't need your kisses")
I tell her "Sugar you're a true fine lover"
"You're as sweet as cherry pie"
But no matter how I try
I can't get high
On your candy kisses
I don't want our love to stop
("Don't stop it")
If it should stop
("Don't stop it")
My heart would break
If the sun should get to hot
("Don't stop it")
It's gonna melt away the icing on our cake
Candy kisses knock me off my feet
("I don't want your kisses")
Fill me up but leave me feelin' incomplete
("I don't need your kisses")
Fancy wrappin's and well-made trappin's
Will lead me to your door
What I'm hungry for
Is so much mooore...than your candy kisses
("Candy kisses, candy candy kisses")
("Candy kisses, candy candy kisses")
Candy kisses knock me off my feet
Fill me up but leave me incomplete
Since your wrappin's lead me to your door
It's not the only kind of love that I'm lookin' for
Candy kisses ain't enough for me
Got to have all your lovin' if you're gonna stay with me
("Candy kisses, keep your candy kisses")
Candy, candy, candy kisses ain't enough for me
Got to have all your love if you're gonna stay with me
("Candy kisses, keep your candy kisses")
Candy, candy, candy kisses ain't enough for me
Got to have all your love if you're gonna stay with me
("Candy kisses, keep your candy kisses")
Candy, candy, candy kisses ain't enough for me
Got to have all your love if you're gonna stay with me ...

Feliz
Feliz
Composer(s): Gonzaguinha
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Para quem bem viveu o amor
Duas vidas que abrem
Não acabam com a luz
São pequenas estrelas
Que correm no céu
Trajetórias opostas
Sem jamais deixar de se olhar
É um carinho guardado no cofre
De um coração que voou
É um afeto deixado nas veias
De um coração que ficou
É a certeza da eterna presença
Da vida que foi
Na vida que vai
É a saudade da boa
Feliz cantar
Que foi foi foi
Foi bom e pra sempre será
Mais mais mais
Maravilhosamente amar

The Bloke Who Invented Beer
The Bloke Who Invented Beer
Performer(s): Rolf Harris
Okay you lot, all right, all right, you fellahs, now
you're all drinking up and havin' a good time
How about a round of applause for the gent who made all this possible...
... The bloke who invented beer
Are you gonna join me in a musical tribute to this noble benefactor? (Too right!)
How about a cheer for the bloke who invented beer
He gave this tired old world a spark
They should have his statue in ev'ry park
Life was so drear till this genius thought up beer
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer
Yes, us fellahs know that the invention of beer was the greatest thing that ever happened to mankind
Ahead of electricity and airplanes and all that other stuff
But did the bloke who invented beer get the credit and recognition he deserves...
No!
No, he don't
But we don't forget him
Just look at our pub motto
Caesar was great and so was Nero, but the bloke who invented beer's a hero!
So c'mon, loosen up your tonsils and let's give it another burst
Are you ready? Well, let's go then...
Oh, how about a cheer for the bloke who invented beer
We'd all be shakin' and quakin' flops
If we couldn't gargle our throats with hops
He was the first to defeat the old demon thirst
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer
How about a cheer for the bloke who invented beer
Though not one hist'ry book gives his name
We say he will stay in the hall of fame
Man's joys were few, till our hero brought out his brew
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer
Yeah, life was so drear till this genius thought up beer
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer
Yeah, life was so drear till this genius thought up beer
So, charge your glasses, drink a cheer
To the bloke who invented beer...
