Glass Bottom Boat


Glass Bottom Boat
Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Joe Lubin - Mark Barkan
Performer(s): Doris Day



All aboard, all aboard
On the glass bottom boat
It's the greatest show that was ever afloat
Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see
The way out wonders of the deep blue sea

The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
There's a lot to see, in the deep blue sea
The sailfish sail and the blowfish blow
Cockles & mussels alive-alive-o

The hermit crab, he lives alone
You can't even get him on the telephone
The halibut's eyes turn up and in
He don't know where he's going, but he knows where he's been

The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
There's a lot to see in the deep blue sea
The glass bottom boat, you will agree
Can show you the magic of the deep blue sea

Spiney crabs and white fish too
Will all be there, what a hullabaloo
With so many fish upon the sea
There's hardly room for a fat sardine

The deep blue sea, the deap blue sea
There's a lot goin' on in the deep blue sea
Oh life on the glass bottom boat is great
(I'm the captain) You could use a mate

(Now the girl is slow, but not so dumb
He has his own condominium)
A bluebird oyster was caught with "foyle"
He "swoyre" he didn't even know the "goyle"

The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
There's a lot to see in the deep blue sea
The glass bottom boat, you will agree
Can show you the magic of the deep blue sea

The flyin' fish was an awful ham
Made a three-point landing in a fryin' pan
The porpoise has the most hutzpah
But the whales are ones with the built-in showers
Starfish, starfish, two-pence all
Abelone in the casserole
Winding, binding, joining up
Is growing, growing, growing up
Ahhh...

All aboard, all aboard
On the glass bottom boat
It's the greatest show that was ever afloat
Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see
The way out wonders of the deep blue sea

All aboard, all aboard
On the glass bottom boat
It's the greatest show that was ever afloat
Take a ride on the tide with the guide and see
The way out wonders of the deep blue sea

Celui Qui A Mal Tourné


Celui Qui A Mal Tourné Composer(s): Georges Brassens First release by: Georges Brassens - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists



Il y avait des temps et des temps
Qu'je n'm'étais pas servi d'mes dents
Qu'je n'mettais pas d'vin dans mon eau
Ni de charbon dans mon fourneau
Tous les croqu'-morts, silencieux
Me dévoraient déjà des yeux
Ma dernière heure allait sonner
C'est alors que j'ai mal tourné

N'y allant pas par quatre chemins
J'estourbis en un tournemain
En un coup de bûche excessif
Un noctambule en or massif
Les chats fourrés, quand ils l'ont su
M'ont posé la patte dessus
Pour m'envoyer à la Santé
Me refaire une honnêteté

Machin, Chose, Un tel, Une telle
Tous ceux du commun des mortels
Furent d'avis que j'aurais dû
En bonn' justice être pendu
A la lanterne et sur-le-champ
Y s'voyaient déjà partageant
Ma corde, en tout bien tout honneur
En guise de porte-bonheur

Au bout d'un siècle, on m'a jeté
A la porte de la Santé
Comme je suis sentimental
Je retourne au quartier natal
Baissant le nez, rasant les murs
Mal à l'aise sur mes fémurs
M'attendant à voir les humains
Se détourner de mon chemin

Y'en a un qui m'a dit: "Salut!
Te revoir, on n'y comptait plus"
Y'en a un qui m'a demandé
Des nouvelles de ma santé
Lors, j'ai vu qu'il restait encor
Du monde et du beau mond' sur terre
Et j'ai pleuré, le cul par terre
Toutes les larmes de mon corps

Forever By Your Side


Forever By Your Side
Composer(s): M. Blatte; L. Gottlieb
Performer(s): The Manhattans; Richie Stephens



Friends, we started out as friends
Friends turned into lovers
Do you remember when

I held you
For the very first time
Love me it is so easy girl
For me to speak my mind
I've said

I want you
I need you
Oh girl how I believe in you
You're the light that has always seen me through

In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

Now we see our love has grown
And these have been the sweetest times
That I have ever known
And I know that it will never end

'Cause every time I look at you
I fall in love again

I want you (want you)
I need you (need you)

Oh girl how I believe in you (you're the light)
You're the light (that shines)
That has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

Longer than the sun will shine
Love is a tie that binds, forever, forever
Two hearts are meant to be one love eternally

Together (together), forever, forever
I want you
I need you
Oh girl how I believe in you
You're the light that has always seen me through

In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

The Glamorous Life


The Glamorous Life
Composer(s): Jamie Starr
Performer(s): Sheila E.
and multiple other artists



She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summer time
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind

She's got big thoughts, big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes sedan
What I think this girl
She really wants is to be in love with a man

She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
But without love it ain't much

She saw him standing in the section marked
If you have to ask you can't afford it lingerie
She threw him bread and said make me scream
In the dark what could he say

Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don't impress me in bed
She said I need a man's man baby
Diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head

She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
But without love it ain't much

They made haste in the brown sedan
They drove to 55 Secret street
They made love and by the seventh wave
She knew she had a problem
She thought real love is real scary
Money only pays the rent
Love is forever that's all your life
Love is heaven sent it's glamorous

She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
But without love it ain't much

J'aurai les mots qu'il faut

D'être celui
Celui que tu préfères

Je te serai docile
Je te suivrai partout
La vie sera facile
Et les heures plus douces
Entre nous

Je veux être celui
Celui que tu préfères
Mais des chaînes autour de moi
Tout pour te satisfaire
Pour être celui
Celui que tu préfères

Oh, laisse-moi aussi
Partager tes nuits
Je ne vis que pour cela
Pour connaître la joie
Celui que tu préfères

Je te serai docile
Je te suivrai partout
La vie sera facile
Et les heures plus douces
Entre nous

Je veux être celui
Celui que tu préfères
Mais des chaînes autour de moi
Tout pour te satisfaire
Pour être celui
Celui que tu préfères

Pour être celui
Celui que tu préfères

Forever Autumn


Forever Autumn
Composer(s): Gary Osborne;
Paul Vigrass; Jeff Wayne
Performer(s): The Moody Blues;
and various other artists



The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
and darker days are drawing near...
The winter winds will be much colder
now you're not here

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
and one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here

Like a song through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here

Like a song through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear...
My life will be forever autumn
'Cause you're not here!

The Girl's Song


The Girl's Song
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): The 5th Dimension
and multiple other artists



I'd like to make a long distance call to a number in west L.A.
I've been trying to reach it all day but no one answers tell me

Why was I so unkind
I hope he's still on that line
I'll make it up to him
If he hasn't changed his number
If he hasn't changed his mind

I know it's late but please let it ring another time or two or three
He'd be hurt if he knew it was me and I was waiting for him

Why was I so unkind
I hope he's still on that line
I'll make it up to him
If he hasn't changed his number
If he hasn't changed his mind

Celui Que J'aime (Nana Mouskouri)


Celui Que J'aime ((Adapted from: Tora Pou Pas Stin Xenitia (Nana Mouskouri)) Composer(s): Manos Hadjidakis - Nikos Gatsos - Frank Gérald Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



À celui que j'aime
Et je l'aimerai toute ma vie

On ne garde pas l'amour
Comme on garde le chant de la mer
Dans le creux d'un coquillage
Et l'on pleure son amour
Comme on pleure au levant de l'hiver
Quand la barque fait naufrage

Mais il m'a gardée auprès de lui
Celui que j'aime
Car il m'a donné plus que la mer
Celui que j'aime
Car il m'a donné plus que le ciel
Celui que j'aime
Et je l'aimerai toute ma vie

Oui il m'a gardé auprès de lui
Celui que j'aime
Car il m'a donné plus que la mer
Celui que j'aime
Car il m'a donné plus que le ciel
Celui que j'aime
Et je l'aimerai toute ma vie

Forever And Ever (Slik)


Forever And Ever
Composer(s): Coulter; Martin
Performer(s): Slik



As it was in the beginning then so should it end
Don't let a lover become just a friend
oh no
I made you a promise I vowed I would keep
The candle 's still burning the river runs deep
my love
Didn't you know
didn't you feel
Couldn't you tell that it was real
Couldn't you tell that it was real
I'll dedicate to you all my love my whole life through
I'll love you forever and ever ev'ry day ev'ry hour we share
I'll treasure you I swear I'll love you forever and ever.
What we joined together
let none tear apart
We give one another our hand and our heart
my love
Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
Will love last forever I know that it must
my love
Now you can see
now you can feel
Now you can tell that it was real
Now you can tell that it was real
I'll dedicate to you all my love my whole life through

The Girls From Texas


The Girls From Texas
Composer(s): James Lewis - Jimmy Holiday - Cliff Chambers
First release by: Ry Cooder - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I met a girl from Texas 'bout a year ago
Hadn't known her for too long when I had to let her go
You see, she had a razor, was ten inches or so
And every night you'd hear her knocking at my door
She said, "Baby, I'll give you the clothes on my back
You can have everything that I've got in my shack
But if you ever try to leave they'll take you out in sack
'Cause me and my razor will see to that"

That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas

I thought about my situation, decided not to tarry
For my own self preservation I decided we should marry
When the preacher started reading 'bout 'till death do us part
I told him, "Skip it, we had that understanding right from the start"

That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
(Houston to San Antone)
That's the way the girls are from Texas
(Got to love 'em right or leave 'em alone)

Well, we settled down, got me a little old job, '65 Fairlane Ford
Every Friday night I would stop in and cash my pay check down at the grocery store
They had a little girl worked in there, must have been about seventeen
She was the cutest thing I had ever seen
It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too very long
Before we had fallen deeply in love and I knew it was wrong
I said baby, we got to stop this thing right here
Or my woman is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear, that's right
In tearful supplication, she looked up in my face
I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say
"You should have told me you was married, baby
She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it, right smack between the eyes

That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas

She was guilty, I was dead
Now, what'd you think that the old judge said?
"Ah, that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas
Case dismissed!"

That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
(Houston to San Antone)
That's the way the girls are from Texas
(Got to love 'em right or leave 'em alone, boy)

Celui Que J'aime (Mireille Mathieu)


Celui Que J'aime Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu



Celui que j'aime est un vaurien
Qui chante du soir au matin
Un artiste
Égoïste
Qui tient ma vie dans ses mains
Celui que j'aime est un garçon
Qui a de drôles de façons
Un bohème
Sans problème
Qui jongle avec mes illusions
Il va sans but
Court les rues
Tout le jour
Moi le cœur lourd
Je l'attends
En pleurant
Mon amour
Celui que j'aime est un menteur
Il ment des lèvres, il ment du cœur
Il me blesse
Puis me laisse
Face à face avec mon cœur

Quand je suis seule avec mes craintes
Dans ma chambre sous les toits
L'ennui s'accroche aux murs qui suintent
Jusqu'à son retour dans ses bras

Celui que j'aime est un brigand
Il me traite comme une enfant
Il me charme
Me désarme
Et se rit de mes tourments
Celui que j'aime est merveilleux
Quand l'amour brille dans ses yeux
Qu'il m'attire
Dans un rire
Contre son cœur pour m'aimer mieux
Moi je faiblis
Je rougis
Tout à coup
Et j'oublie tous
Mes malheurs
Sur son cœur
Dans son cou
Celui que j'aime est un joueur
Il joue mes rêves, il joue mes pleurs
Et s'il triche
Je m'en fiche
Car il est tout mon bonheur

Celui que j'aime est un voyou
Qui ne possède pas un sou
Mais il m'aime
Et je l'aime
Et du reste je m'en fous

The Girl's Alright With Me


The Girl's Alright With Me
Composer(s): Eddie Holland - Eddie Kendricks - Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): The Temptations; Derrick Harriott; The Spinners



This little girl of mine
I wanna say she's so fine
And each and every day
I make sure she has her way

Now, we don't feel tied down
Although our hearts are bound
I don't have to chase her all over town
My baby she's always around

The girl's alright with me
You know the girl's alright
Listen, the girl's alright with me
You know the girl's alright

Now she's so good to me
I guess that's why I feel fancy free
Just to see the glow in her eyes
Makes me once again realize

I love her with all my heart
And I know we'll never, never part
I never heard her about or caught her playing
I guess that's why you always hear me saying...

The girl's alright with me
You know the girl's alright, hmm...
The girl's alright with me
You know the girl's alright

When I visit at her home
Other fellas never, never ring her phone
She lets them know just where they stand
She tells them all that I'm her man

And when we're out on a date
Other fellas wait till I walk away
They try to beat my time
She tells them in a nice way, she's mine, all mine

The girl's alright with me
You know the girl's alright
And I trust her with my heart now (The Girl's alright with me)
Everyday now (You know the girl's alright)
You know, you know that the (girl's alright with me)
In everyway now (You know the girl's alright)

Celui Que J'aime (France Gall)


Celui Que J'aime
Composer(s): France Gall
Performer(s): France Gall



Je ne sais que penser
Des garçons
Ils savent dire des choses
Très jolies

Et quand je leur chante
Ma chanson
Ils me regardent
Étonnés, surpris

Ils me prennent la main
D'une main qui tremble
Et leurs yeux amoureux
Dans les miens se font tendres

Ils sont très
Curieux parfois
Quand je penche vers eux
Doucement mon visage

Ils se noient aussitôt
Ils perdent leur langage
Ils sont très
Timides parfois

Mais celui que j'aime
N'est pas comme ça
Il ne rit pas, ne parle pas
Celui que j'aime n'est pas comme ça

Ils jouent comme des fous
Lorsque je veux rire
Et tombent à mes genoux
Lorsque je soupire

Ils sont très
Gentils pour moi
Mais celui que j'aime
N'est pas comme ça
Il ne rit pas, ne parle pas
Celui que j'aime
N'est pas comme ça

Car celui que j'aime
Ne m'aime pas
Car celui que j'aime
Ne m'aime pas
Car celui que j'aime
Ne m'aime pas

Ever and ever, forever and ever
You'll be the one
That shines on me

My whole love a stream

Ever and ever, forever and ever

Will follow you eternally

The Girlfriend Of The Whirling Dervish


The Girlfriend Of The Whirling Dervish
Composer(s): Harry Warren - Al Dubin - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): John Payne, Jerry Colonna, Johnnie Davis, Ray Mayer & Joe Venuti
and multiple other artists



One fine day, I chanced to stray
On a little side street in old Bombay
And met a sentimental oriental
She saw me and I saw she
Had a manner too bold and much too free
Her eyes were positively detrimental
When I asked about this gay coquette
I discovered much to my regret...

She's the girl friend of the whirling dervish
She's the sweetest one he's found
But ev'ry night, in the mellow moonlight
When he's out dervishing with all his might
She gives him the run-around

All the boy friends of the whirling dervish
Are his best friends to his face
But there's no doubt, when he isn't about
They all come hurrying to take her out
She leads him a dizzy pace

He dreams of a Hindu honeymoon
He doesn't dream that ev'ry night when he goes out
To make an honest rupee
She steps out to make a lotta whoopee

Oh, the love song of the whirling dervish
Has a sweet and tender sound
But will he burn if he ever should learn
That while he's doing her a real good turn
She gives him the runaround

She's got a nervish, throwin' him a curvish
Which, of course, he doesn't deservish
Poor old whirling dervish!

Celos De Mi Guitarra


Celos De Mi Guitarra
Performer(s): José Feliciano



Yo se que tienes celos de mi guitarra
yo se que lloran tus ojos, cuando me ves abrazarla si
yo se que tienes niña herida el alma

Yo se que por las noches, cuando te marchas
cruzas llorando mi patio, como una luz que se apaga si
yo se que tienes niña herida el alma

Yo se muy bien que te has sentido feliz
sentada junto a mi hoguera, dejando tu primavera pasar
y se también lo mucho que me has querido
y alguna vez he sentido dolor

Yo se que tienes celos de mi guitarra
yo se que tiemblan tus manos, cuando me ves abrazarla si
yo se que tienes niña herida el alma

No puede ser, mi adolescencia pasó
dormida está como un niño
entre unos libros que nunca aprendí
recuérdame, y vive tus quince años
yo, yo te prometo soñarlos....adiós
eyyy, eyyy, eyyy

Forever And After


Forever And After
Performer(s): Paul Simon (aka Jerry Landis)



How long am I going to miss you
How many cigarettes will I have to burn
When can I make my lonely heart realize
That you will never return

How long will I hear your warm laughter
I'm afraid forever and after
How many times do I hurry home to you
To find you gone, to find you gone

This time I held you near me
I hear you say you love me
More than the day before
You'd smile when you would see me
Please take your kisses to me
And go on wanting more

Though things sometimes went wrong,
It never, never lasted for long
It wasn't worth the care
For then we had each other's love
We had so much, so much to share
So much to share

The Girl That I Marry


The Girl That I Marry
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First performance/First recording/First release by: Ray Middleton/Frank Sinatra/Frank Sinatra - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists



The girl that I marry will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own
Will wear satins and laces and smell of cologne

Her nails will be polished and, in her hair
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
`stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten

A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be

Her nails will be polished and, in her hair
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
`stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten

A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be

Ben Ik Te Min


Ben Ik Te Min
Composer(s): H. Van Loenhout
Originally performed by: Armand



Wil je blijven, oke
Het heeft toch geen enkele zin
Als je me maar niet ziet als de jongen met de rozen
Want dan stort die hele droomwereld in
Jij was, zoals we dat noemden 'het materialistische type'
Maar daar heb je nu nog weinig meer van
Jij bent nu net zo idealistisch als ik
Maar hoe wil je 't in godsnaam anders dan
Ben ik te min
Ben ik te min omdat je ouders meer poen hebben dan de mijne
Ben ik te min
Ben ik te min omdat je pa in een grotere kar rijdt dan de mijne
En toch wil je blijven maar je pa die wil het niet
Ik denk dat je beter kunt gaan
En je moeder die doe je ook al veel verdriet
En als je thuiskomt zal ze zeggen 'wat doe je me aan'
Jouw moeder die ik moest aanhoren met haar achterlijk gezeik
Over de studie van je broer
En je pa die zo'n succesvol zakenman was
Met andere woorden 'wat ben je een boer'
Ben ik dan te min
Ben ik te min omdat je ouders meer poen hebben dan de mijne
Ben ik te min
Ben ik te min omdat je pa in een grotere kar rijdt dan de mijne
Maar kijk uit
Je bent het niet gewend om te vreten van de straat
Als je lichamelijk maar niet zo erg belangrijk vind
Want dat is het in feite niet waar het om gaat
En als je 't aankunt goed, kom dan gerust weer
En anders dan sodemieter je maar op
Want het is echt niet dat ik niets om je geeft
Maar zo duw je je hoofd in een strop
Ben ik daarom dan te min
Ben ik te min omdat je ouders meer poen hebben dan de mijne
Ben ik te min
Ben ik te min omdat je pa in een grotere kar rijdt dan de mijne
Ben ik daarom dan te min
Ben ik te min omdat je ouders meer poen hebben dan de mijne
Ben ik daarom dan te min
Ben ik te min omdat je pa in een grotere kar rijdt dan de mijne
