Caroline, Caroline
Caroline, Caroline
Composer(s): Louis Benech - Vincent Scotto
Performer(s): André Bourvil; Mireille Ponsard
Voilà huit heures qui sonnent, c'est dimanche coco
Déjà l'soleil rayonne à travers les rideaux
J'ai touché ma quinzaine, si tu le veux tantôt
Nous irons à Vincennes, dîner au bord de l'eau
Vite en bas du lit, passe moi mes habits
Et jetons du jus dans Paris
Caroline, Caroline, mets tes p'tits souliers vernis
Ta robe blanche des dimanches
Et ton grand chapeau fleuri
Caroline, Caroline, t'arrêt' pas comm' ça en ch'min
Marche plus vite, ma petite
Tu vas nous fair' rater l'train
Installons-nous ma chère sur le bord du talus
Mets un journal par terre, on va manger là-d'ssus
Pourquoi qu'tu fais la tête, tu n'as qu'à faire comme moi
Quand on n'a pas d'fourchettes, on mange avec les doigts
T'as fini déjà, ah! quel estomac
Où qu't'as donc fourré tout ça?
Caroline, Caroline, on a tout d'même bien dîné
Plus personne, viens mignonne
C'est l'moment d'aller s'prom'ner
Caroline, Caroline, les p'tits oiseaux font cui-cui
Sur la mousse, fraîche et douce
Moi j'le ferais bien aussi
Mais là-bas il y a la fête, j'entends l'accordéon
Prépare tes gambettes, on va faire un boston
J'cède à tous tes caprices, j'te paie un mirliton
Un cochon d'pain d'épice, ous' qu'il y a mon nom
Tu le mangeras
Quand j'serai pas là
Ça t'fera penser à moi
Caroline, Caroline, relév' ta jupe en dansant
Aie d'l'allure, va en mesure
On s'croirait chez l'Président
Caroline, Caroline, qu'est c'qu'ils ont à nous r'garder
Tu m'fais honte, allons, r'monte
Ton pantalon qu'est tombé
C'est pas d'chance, ma poulette, voilà qu'il tombe de l'eau
Mets ta jupe sur ta tête pour garer ton chapeau
Moi j'te suis par derrière, ta ch'mise dépasse un peu
Mais, grâce à ta bannière, j'te perdrai pas des yeux
Nous v'là arrivés
C'qu'on est éreinté
C'est pas trop tôt d'se reposer
Caroline, Caroline
Ah! c'qu'on est bien dans son lit
Tu soupires, tu veux rire
Ça c'est pas pour aujourd'hui
Caroline, Caroline, veux-tu bien r'tirer ta main
Pas d'tapage, si t'es sage
Ça s'ra pour dimanche prochain

Flaming Star
Flaming Star
Composer(s): Sid Wayne; Sherman Edwards
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; The Headliners
Ev'ry man has a flaming star
A flaming star over his shoulder
And when a man sees his flaming star
He knows his time, his time has come
Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot o' livin' I got to do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Flaming star (Flaming star)
When I ride, I feel that flaming star
That flaming star over my shoulder
And so I ride, front of that flaming star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around
Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot o' livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Flaming star (Flaming star)
One fine day, I'll see that flaming star
That flaming star over my shoulder
And when I see that old flaming star
I'll know my time, my time has come
Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot o' livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
(Flaming star)

The Desert Song
The Desert Song
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg - Otto Harbach - Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Mario Lanza with Judith Raskin
and multiple other artists
Why spend your time in vague romancing
When life itself is at your call
I come to you my heart advancing
O come with me and you will be my all
You turn away and yet you tremble
My little bird has wings it seems
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
My desert is waiting
Dear, come there with me
I'm longing to teach you
Love's sweet melody
I'll sing a dream-song to you
Painting a picture for two
Blue heaven and you and I
And sand kissing a moonlit sky
A desert breeze whisp'ring a lullaby
Only stars above you
To see I love you
Oh, give me that night divine
And let my arms in yours entwine
The desert song calling
Its voice enthralling
Will make you mine

Caroline, Carol-i-yi-yi-yine
There is a girl
She really is fine, so fine
I know one day
She's gonna be mine, be mine
She is so fine
I'll make her mine
Her name is Caroline, Carol-i-yi-yi-yine
Caroline, Carol-i-yi-yi-yine
She is the fairest of them all
And I'll come runnin' when she calls
She is the girl
The girl of my dreams, my dreams
She's on my mind
Forever it seems, it seems
We'll hope forever
We'll dream together
Just me and Caroline, Carol-i-yi-yi-yine
Caroline, Carol-i-yi-yi-yine ...

Flaming
Flaming
Composer(s): Syd Barrett
Performer(s): Pink Floyd; Pentagram
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you
Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on a unicorn
No fair, you can't hear me
But I can you
Watching buttercups cup the light
Sleeping on a dandelion
Too much, I won't touch you
But then I might
Screaming through the starlit sky
Travelling by telephone
Hey ho, here we go
Ever so high
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you

The Deepest Shelter In Town
The Deepest Shelter In Town
Composer(s): Jones
Performer(s): Florence Desmond
Don't run away mister
Oh, stay and play mister
Don't worry if you hear the sirens go
Though I'm not a lady of the highest virtue
I wouldn't dream of letting anything hurt you
And so before you go, I think you ought to know
I've got a cosy flat, there's a lace for your hat
I wear a pink chiffon négligé gown
And do I know my stuff, but if that's not enough
I've got the deepest shelter in town
I've got a room for two, a radio that's new
An alarm clock that won't let you down
And I've got central heat, but to make it complete
I've got the deepest shelter in town
Every modern comfort I can just guarantee
If you hear the siren call then it's probably me
And, sweetie, to revert, I'll keep you on the alert
I won't even be wearing a frown
So you can hang around here until the all clear
In the deepest shelter in town
Now honey, I don't sing of an Anderson thing
Climbing in one you look like a clown
But if you came here to see, why Sir John would agree
I've got the deepest shelter in town
Now Mr. Morrison says he's getting things done
And he's a man of the greatest renown
But before it gets wrecked, I hope you'll come and inspect
The deepest shelter in town
Now I was one of the first to clear my attic of junk
But when it comes to shelters nowadays it's all bunk
So honey, don't get scared, it's there to be shared
And you'll feel like a king with a crown
So please don't be mean, better men than you have been
In the deepest shelter
The neatest shelter
The deepest shelter in town

Caroline (Charles Aznavour)
Caroline
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Dans le tumulte infernal
D'un gigantesque bal
De 14 juillet
Ton cœur fit à sa façon
Une révolution
Mais seul ton corps dansait
La carmagnole
Tu acceptais ton destin
Mais gardais néanmoins
Malgré tes airs frivoles
Ton cœur pour l'homme de ta vie
Caroline chérie
Dans l'immense tourbillon
Quand l'enfer des passions
Enflammait les esprits
Toi tout simplement armée
De ta seule beauté
Tu as su à tout prix
Garder ta tête
En faisant des concessions
Car l'âme a ses raisons
Que la raison rejette
L'amour vaut bien quelques folies
Caroline chérie
Tu vivais de la folle moisson
Des doux printemps de ta vie
Et quand tu criais non
Tout en toi semblait dire oui
À l'amour comme à l'amour
Tu as suivi le cours
Tracé par ton destin
Et ta jeunesse en péril
Suspendue à un fil
N'appartenait à rien, ni à personne
Mais rêvait à l'homme
Qui allume de ses nuits
Qui vous révolutionne
T'apportant la joie par ce cri
Caroline chérie

Flamethrower
Flamethrower
Composer(s): Seth Justman
Performer(s): J. Geils Band
All day long she holds it back
Back with all her might
She carries a burnin' torch inside
She holds it firm and tight
She punches out the clock
While it keeps punchin' out her life
She's a flamethrower, red-hot glower
Flamethrower at night
The things she wears at work
They hang off her kinda loose
Her blouse don't fit, the pants ain't right
She ain't no front page news
But when her work is done
And the daytime turns to night
The headlines flash in neon
That the girl has taken flight
Chairman of the board
Won't look her in the eye
The fire of her vision
His money just can't buy
Silently she waits
Silently she contemplates
She can make 'em tremble
You know the reason why
Chorus
She's a flame - flamethrower
She's a flamethrower at night
She's a flame - a red-hot glower
She's a flamethrower at night
You might think you're burnin'
All your candles at both ends
Maybe you should go to church
To make up some amends
But if you think you're fireproof
So cool and much too much
Don't dare go near my baby
'Cause she'll melt you with her touch
I forget the darkness
I forget the pain
When she's movin' through my heart
And when she's pumpin' through my veins
She's the part inside me
I never can control
And she's the only reason
I know I've got a soul
Chorus

The Death Of Little Kathy Fiscus
The Death Of Little Kathy Fiscus
Composer(s): Jimmie Osborne
Performer(s): Jimmie Osborne; Howard Vokes
On April the eighth, the year forty-nine
Death claimed a little child, so pure and so fine
Kathy they called her, met her doom that day
I know it was God that called her away
Playmates of Kathy were all havin' fun
The story was told, they all started to run
And as they looked back, she wasn't there
It's so sad to think of this tragic affair
Just like a beast in a forest that day
The abandoned well took Kathy away
For over two days the well was her tomb
Everyone kept prayin' they'd get her out soon
Thousands were there, from far and from near
Workmen they struggled, against sadness and tears
But after two days, their hopes grew so weak
They called down to Kathy, but she never did speak
After working so hard, both day and night
Digging for hours, she came into sight
The little darlin' was dead, her life it was gone
Now in San Merino there's a heartbroken home
I'm sure she's an angel in God's peaceful fold
Playing with children in a mansion of gold
As I stand alone, humbly I bow
I know Kathy's happy, up there with God now

Carolina Sunshine
Carolina Sunshine
Composer(s): Walter Hirsch - Erwin R. Schmidt
Down in Carolina where the sunbeams play
Down where all the world seems bright
Pickaninies romping all the day
In the cotton fields of white
How my heart is yearning to be there once more
Just to hear the darkies song
Carolina sunshine calls me back to the place where I belong
Carolina Sun I'm lonesome
Carolina Sun I'm blue
When the day is done I'm pining
For a sight of you
Makes no difference where I wander
Any place I chance to roam
When the golden sun sinks in the West
Then I think of home

Flames Of Paradise
Flames Of Paradise
Composer(s): Bruce Roberts; Andy Goldmark
Performer(s): Elton John; Jennifer Rush
You're walking, talking like a flame, baby
You're walking, talking like a flame, baby
Never knew what my heart would be facing
Guess I must have been blind saying goodbye yo you, baby
Close my eyes at night I can taste it
I'm running back in the fire where I once had you, baby
You said don't ever leave me
But I say that's something I won't ever do
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
In the flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I give all of my love just to you
It's been so long baby
I give you all my love waits for you
Don't take too long baby
I've been making some brave conversation
Telling friends I'm way better off without you
Then I was living in my imagination
Thinking I could make it without you too baby
My heart tried to deceive me
But that's one thing it just can't do
You said don't ever leave me
Oh that's one thing I won't ever do

The Dean And I
The Dean And I
Performer(s): 10 cc
Hum drum days
And a hum drum ways
Hey kids, let me tell you how I met your mom
We were dancin' and romancin' at the Senior Prom
It was no infatuation
But a gradual graduation
From a boy to a man
Let me tell you while I can
The soda pop came free
Hey sis one kiss and I was heaven bound
Now who would have guessed
Milton's Paradise Lost
Could be found?
But in the eyes of the Dean his daughter
Was doin' what she shouldn'a oughta
But a man's got to do
What a man's got to do
The consequence should be
Church bells, three swells
The Dean, his daughter, and me
They were dating in the park
They were smooching in the dark
Of a doorway for two
She whispered "I love you
Ooh, you know I never felt this way before
Ooh, you know the elevator in my heart
Has gone awol awol awol"
And then I kissed her
And when I kissed her
It's a wonderful world
When you're rolling in kisses
Now, the paint is peeling
Now, and when the chips are dowin
Now, you kinda lose all feeling
Now, your head goes round and round
Round and round and round and round
And round and round and round
I'm throwing myself off this train
Hum drum days
And a hum drum ways
Hum drum days
And a hum drum ways
Hum drum days, he's got
Hum drum ways, oh boy
Hey, you know I'm really earning now
My ship came in with a cargo of dollars
My name's lit up on the prow
It's a wonderful world
When you're rolling in dollars
Rolling in dollars
Rolling in dollars
Now

Shining on the one who waits for me

Pining for the place I long to be

Please do
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon
Keep shining on the one who waits for me
I'm pining for the place I long to be
How I'm hoping tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light, say I'm alright
Please do
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon

The Deadwood Stage
The Deadwood Stage
Composer(s): Sammy Fain - Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists
Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-rolling on over the plains
With the curtains flappin’ and the driver a-snappin’ the reins
A beautiful sky, a wonderful day
Whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away
Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-headin’ on over the hills
Where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine quills
Dangerous land, no time to delay
So, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away
We’re headed straight for town
Loaded down with a fancy cargo
Care of Wells & Fargo, Illinois, boy
Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-comin’ on over the crest
Like a homing-pigeon that’s a-hankerin’ after its nest
Twenty-three miles we’ve covered today
So, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away
Introducing Henry Miller
Just as busy as a fizzy sasparilla
Ain’t a showman any smarter operates the Golden Garter
When the cream of Deadwood City comes to dine
And I’m glad to say he’s a friend of mine
Hi Joe, say, where d’ya get them fancy clothes
I know, off some fella’s laundry line
Hi Beau, aren’t you a prairie rose
Smellin’ like a watermelon vine
Here’s a man the sheriff watches
On his gun there’s more than twenty-seven notches
On the draw there’s no one faster and you’re flirting with disaster
When Bill Hickok’s reputation you malign
And I’m glad to say he’s a very good friend of a friend of mine

Carolina In The Morning
Carolina In The Morning
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson - Gus Kahn
First performance/First recording by: Willie & Eugene Howard - 1922/Marion Harris - 1922
Covered by multiple other artists
"Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina"
Wishing is good time wasted
Still it's a habit they say
Wishing for sweet's I've tasted
That's all I do all day
Maybe there's nothing in wishing
But, speaking of wishing I'll say
Nothing could be finer
Than to be in Carolina
In the morning
No one could be sweeter
Than my sweetie when I meet her
In the morning
When the morning glories
Twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories
I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie
Where the dew is pearly early
In the morning
Butterflies all flutter up
And kiss each little buttercup
At dawning
If I had Alladin's lamp
For only a day
I'd make a wish
And here's what I'd say
Nothing could be finer
Than to be in Carolina
In the morning
Dreaming was meant for night time
I live in dreams all the day
I know it's not the right time
But still I dream away
What could be sweeter than dreaming
Just dreazming and drift away
Nothing could be finer
Than to be in Carolina
In the morning
No one could be sweeter
Than my sweetie when I meet her
In the morning
When the morning glories
Twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories
I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie
Where the dew is pearly early
In the morning
Butterflies all flutter up
And kiss each little buttercup
At dawning
If I had Alladin's lamp
For only a day
I'd make a wish
And here's what I'd say
Nothing could be finer
Than to be in Carolina
In the morning

Flamenco Des Flandres
Flamenco Des Flandres
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
Mille ans déjà que je suis là
Sur la terre des Flandres
Soldat du roi, sans foi ni loi
Sans plus rien attendre
Soldat qui n'a que ses dix doigts
Pour jouer sur sa guitare
Le flamenco, dernier écho
D'un reste de mémoire
Dans mon pays, là-bas très loin
Entre la mer et la montagne
Il y a la fille que j'aimais bien
Qui devait être ma compagne
Les filles d'ici sont bien jolies
On en oublie la guerre
Leurs yeux sont bleus et leurs cheveux
Plus blonds que la lumière
Pour s'enivrer, au cabaret
On s'offre du genièvre
Mais rien n'y fait pour étouffer
L'air qui monte à mes lèvres
Dans mon pays, là-bas très loin
Entre la mer et la montagne
Il y a la fille que j'aimais bien
Qui devait être ma compagne
Mais si je meurs au champ d'honneur
Dites à mes camarades
Qu'ils ne fassent pas sonner le glas
Aux cloches de Grenade
Pour demander l'éternité
Suffit d'une guitare
Et quelque part une fille en noir
Qui me garde en mémoire
"En mi país ahi muy lejo
Mentre il mar e la montaña
Esta la niña que io quería"

D-Day Dodgers
D-Day Dodgers
Performer(s): Ian Campbell Folk Group - 1966
and multiple other artists
There is a song the Eighth Army used to sing
Marching through the desert, marching with a swing
But now they're on a different game
Although the tune is still the same
The words have all been altered
The words we're singing still...
We're the D-Day Dodgers, here in Italy
Drinking all the vino, always on a spree
We didn't land with Eisenhower
And so they think we're just a shower
For we're the D-Day Dodgers
Out here in Italy
We're the D-Day dodgers, out here in Italy
Always drinking vino, always on a spree
Eighth Army scroungers and their tanks
We go to war in ties, like swanks
We are the D-Day Dodgers
Way out in Italy
Here's to Lady Astor, our pin up girl out here
She's the dear old lady, who sends us such good beer
And when we get our Astor band
We'll be the proudest in the land
For we're the D-Day Dodgers
Out here in Italy
We landed in Salerno, a holiday with pay
Jerry brought the band out to cheer us on our way
Showed us the sights and gave us tea
We all sang songs, the beer was free
To welcome D-Day Dodgers
To sunny Italy
Salerno and Cassino, were taken in our stride
We didn't go to fight there, we went there for the ride
Anzio and Sanzio were just names
We only went to look for dames
The artful D-Day Dodgers
Out here in Italy
Around Lake Trasimano, we had a lovely time
Bags of wine and women, they didn't cost a dime
Base wallahs, amgot and the Yanks
All stayed in Rome to dodge the tanks
For we're the D-Day Dodgers
Out here in Italy
We stayed a week in Florence, polished off the wine
Then thumbed our way to Rimini, through the Gothic Line
Soon to Bologna we will go
When Jerry's gone across the Po
For we're the D-Day Dodgers
The lads that D-Day dodged
We hear the boys in France are going home on leave
After six months service, it's a shame they're not relieved
But we can carry on out here
For what may be a few more years
For we're the D-Day Dodgers
Out here in Italy
Once we heard a rumour we were going home
Back to dear old Blighty, never more to roam
Then someone said in France you'll fight
We answered: "No, we'll just sit tight!"
For we're the D-Day Dodgers
The lads that D-Day dodged
When the war is over and we've done our bit
Climbing over mountains, through mud and sleet and
Then we will all be sent out east
Till B.L.A. have been released
For we're the D-Day Dodgers,
Out here in Italy.
Forgotten by the many, remembered by the few
We'd our armistice when an armestice was new
One million Germans gave up to us
We finished our war without much fuss
For we're the D-Day Dodgers
Out here in Italy
Dearest Lady Astor, you think you're mighty hot
Standing on the platform, talking tommyrot
Dear England's sweetheart and her pride
We think your mouth's too bleedin' wide
>From all the D-Day Dodgers
In sunny Italy
If you look around the mountains in the mud and rain
You'll find scattered crosses, some which bear no name
Heart break and toil and suffering gone
The boys beneath them slumber on
For they're the D-Day Dodgers
Who stayed in Italy

Carolina In My Mind
