Come Up And See Me Sometime
Come Up And See Me Sometime
Performer(s): Elsie Carlisle
Here am I, I’m laying all my cards upon the table
I’ll be on the level just as far as I am able
Open up the goods and I will let you see the label
I’m strictly on the up and up
I’ve got a lot, a lot of what I’ve got
And what I’ve got’s all mine
I could spare a little share of what I’ve got, for you
Come up and see me sometime
You’ll get a break, a lot o’ give and take
I’ve got a brand new line
Maybe you would like me to explain it all to you
Come up and see me sometime
Come up tonight
I think the papers say the moon will be bright
They should’ve had it in the columns and all
Letters, that’s all
That you’ll be falling for me
‘Cause I am free and you appeal to me
How could it be a crime?
If you don’t have my number
Well, my number’s in the book
Come up and see me sometime
I’ve got a lot, a lot of what I’ve got
And what I’ve got’s all mine
I could spare a little share of what I’ve got, for you
Come up and see me sometime
You’ll get a break, a lot o’ give and take
I’ve got a brand new line
Maybe you would like me to explain it all to you
Come up and see me sometime
Come up tonight
I think the papers say the moon will be bright
They should’ve had it in the columns and all
Letters, that’s all
That you’ll be falling for me
‘Cause I am free and you appeal to me
How could it be a crime?
If you don’t have my number
Well, my number’s in the book
Come up and see me sometime
Come up and see me sometime

Trolley Song
Trolley Song
Composer(s): Ralph Blane - Hugh Martin
First performance by: Judy Garland - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists
With her high starched collar and her high topped shoes
And her hair piled high upon her head
She went to find a jolly hour on the trolley
And she found my heart instead
With my light brown derby and my bright green tie
I was quite the lonesomest of men
I started to yen so I counted to ten
Then I counted to ten again
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings
For the moment I saw her I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Thump, thump, thump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings
When she smiled I could feel the car shake
I tipped my hat, I took a seat
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet
"Say, what's your name?", I lost my breath
She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death
Oh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Pop, pop, pop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings
As she started to go then I started to know how it feels
When the universe reels
I tipped my hat, I took a seat
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet
I asked her name, then lost my breath
She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death
Oh, buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Pop, pop, pop went the wheels
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings
As she started to leave I took hold of her sleeve with my hand
And as if it were planned
She stayed on with me and it was grand just to stand
With her hand holding mine to the end of the line
End of the line
The end of the line

Come Uno Stupido
Come Uno Stupido
French Title: Me Voilà Seul
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
E sono qui, senza di te
Da un giorno all'altro l'ho aspettato
Per non saper colmare il vuoto
Che avevo aperto tra di noi
Forse era gia', scritto cosi'
Se stanno insieme tuo malgrado
Volevo vivere a mio modo
E' giusto se non ci sei piu'
Come uno stupido sto qui
E guardo queste quattro mura
Come un bambino che ha paura
E piu' che piangere non sa'
Eccomi solo a dire che
La colpa e' mia siamo d'accordo
E' il mio carattere balordo
Che guasta sempre quel che ho
Le donne non capiscono
Bevevo un po', non molto, un poco
E a lei non piaceva
Avevo i miei amici, è vero
Non sono sempre fini i miei amici
Ma mi ci trovavo con loro, e a lei non piaceva
E sono qui, da solo si
E tutto sembra che mi accusi
Basta soltanto che io posi
Lo sguardo attorno e vedo te
La verita', e' tutta qui
Un grande amore non perdona
Quando lo ignori ti abbandona
Se soffri poi peggio per te
Come uno stupido sto qui
Con i miei sogni andati in fumo
Il grande amante il super uomo
Convinto d'esser chissa' chi
Come uno stupido son qui
E con l'inutile speranza
Ti lascio aperta la mia stanza
Ma so che non ritornerai...

The Tricche Tracche
The Tricche Tracche
Composer(s): Tuminello
Performer(s): Dean Martin
(The tricche tracche
The tricche tracche
Antonino he can play the tricche tracche)
Cross the sea in Italy, there's somethin' cookin'
Antonino's all the rage-a, he's-a good lookin'
When he plays his tricche tracche Italiano
All the people start to bop Americano
He's the rhythm man and everybody's idol
At amoré he would surely win-a the title
He gets all the signorini prima classé
And a-just-a because he plays a tricche tracche
(Antonino he can play the mandolino
And he also plays the sweetest violino
On his instrument he plays the roll `n rocky)
E com'è si bello when he plays the tricche tracche
(The tricche tracche)
Everybody gathers round this happy fellah
You should see them when they rock the tarantella
If you wonder why this Antonin' is cocky
He's the only one that has a tricche tracche
Antonino he can play the mandolino
And he also plays the sweetest violino
On his instrument he plays the roll `n rocky
E com'è si bello when he plays the tricche tracche
(The tricche tracche))
He's the reason why there's always sunny weather
Antonino plays the bouncy hits together
Even though they like to crazy roll 'n rocky
He's the only one that plays
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
How they love him when he plays
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
He's the only one that plays the tricche tracche

Come Una Rosa
Come Una Rosa
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
E' stato un passo breve
Tutto e' stato grande
Forte immenso e lieve
Nella mia vita c'e' un'insolita gioia
Che sa chi si comprende
Attraverso i gesti di sempre
Poi, la fiamma si spande
E illumina il tuo sguardo
E quello che nasconde
Da ieri tu sei diventata grande
E sento che tu cambi
Questa mia esistenza
Nel riportare in me aria di adolescenza
Vivendo alla giornata
Non conoscevo che un'esistenza vuota
Ma adesso accanto a te
Io scopro la mia meta segreta
Di una vita quieta
Da una vita oscura, fatta di ansie
Dubbi, noia, leggi e mura
Questa felicita' mi servira' da guida
Attraverso i sentieri del tempo
E mi riportera' fuori dell'ombra
E' un nuovo mattino
Che non e' stato mai per me cosi' sereno
Se non sapevo piu' che fare della vita
E non dormivo mai per vivere di piu'
Ritrovo il gusto di sognare
E voglio offrire a te
La gioia che mi dai
Come una rosa, come una rosa
Se lo vuoi...

The Trial Of Hissing Sid
The Trial Of Hissing Sid
Composer(s): Jeremy Lloyd - Jim Parker
Performer(s): Keith Mitchell
Today's a special day
For Captain Beaky and his Band
Since Hissing Sid's been brought to trial
And in the dock he stands
Presiding is Lord Justice Pig
Who bangs his gavel twice
'Order!' cried the Clerk
Said Batty Bat, 'I'll have an ice'
'A good idea' said Timid Toad
'Make mine a lemon tea'
'Just one more word,' said Justice Pig
'And you'll do one to three'
'I won't have talking in my court'
'In law it's called contempt'
Said Artful Owl, 'as prosecution'
'I trust I'll be exempt'
Now Captain Beaky and his band
That's Rat, Bat, Toad and me
Apprehended Hissing Sid
Whilst doing villainy
Said Justice Pig, 'be more precise'
'What dark deed did he do?'
Said Batty Bat, 'before you sat'
'He wiped your seat with glue'
Said Justice Pig, 'It's not your turn'
'Your outburst I've deleted'
'But as I've tried to get up twice'
'The Court will all stay seated'
Said Q.C. Crow, 'I must object'
'To rabbits on the Jury'
'The way this case is going on
'My client's stiff with fury'
'What's wrong with rabbits Owl?' said Bat
'They look alright to me'
Said Beaky, 'there were 12 just now'
'And now there's 23'
'24!' cried Justice Pig,
'There's one more by my chair'
Said Q.C. Crow, 'there's little doubt'
'This trial is most unfair'
'And how can all these rabbits'
'Just arrived know good from bad?'
'They can't of course,' said Justice Pig
'Now hands up this one's dad'
'I f-fear we've lost the case,' said Toad
Sighed Beaky, 'sad but true'
Said Owl, 'there's one charge that will stick'
Cried Beaky, 'right, the glue'
Then they saw the empty dock
'He's gone,' cried Reckless Rat
'And so has my best overcoat'
'And where's my reckless hat?'
Said Beaky, 'he's disguised himself'
'It's up to us to find him'
And as he leapt off through the woods
His band were close behind him
But though they searched both high and low
And all points in between
Not a sign of Hissing Sid in
Hat and coat was seen
Said Bat, 'I'll fly up in the sky'
'And see if I can spot him,'
Said Timid Toad, 'I'll hold my breath'
'And breathe out when you've got him
'The weather's turning warm,' said Owl
'Who needs a hat and coat'
'We could spend all afternoon'
'All happily afloat'
'Good idea,' said Reckless Rat
'Right ho,' said Captain Beaky
'We'll climb aboard my biscuit tin'
'The H.M.S. Most Leaky'
And as they sailed off down the Thames
Bat searched with all his might
Until he signalled 'S.O.S.'
Which means, Snake Out Of Sight
Said Beaky, 'shouldn't Toad be green'
'I fear he's turning blue'
'He hasn't let his breath out yet'
Cried Rat, 'what shall we do?'
Said Owl, 'just pass the pepper pot'
'It's sure to make him sneeze'
'Apart from which, the wind's just dropped'
'We need the extra breeze'
Uh-uh-uh-uh--chew!
And guess who watched them disappear
From a dark hole where he hid
With beady eyes 'neath stolen hat
You're right - yes, Hissing Sid

Come Una Malattia
Come Una Malattia
French Title: Comme Une Maladie
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Come una malattia
Una febbre sconosciuta
Un giorno si abbattuta su me
E senza alcun rumore
Apri' dentro di me
Una ferita che oramai
Non si cura, non si cura
Forse mai piu'...
Come una malattia
Che non si sa' cos'e'
Che neanche il tempo riesce a guarire
Sul corpo scivolo'
Togliendomi cosi'
La forza di pensare, di parlare...
E ai miei mille perche'
La risposta se c'e' e' in me
Si oscuro' il sorriso sul viso
E il lume degli occhi miei
Sono l'ombra della felicita'
All'improvviso..
Come una malattia
Qualcosa entro' nel cuore
Che neanche il sole mai guari'
E cresce a non finire
Brucia da morire
In giorno come un fior svaniro'
Perche' ormai non si cura
Non si cura
Questo mio amor!

Rock And Roll Waltz
Rock And Roll Waltz
Composer(s): Roy Alfred; Shorty Allen
Performer(s): Kay Starr;
and various other artists
One night I was late, came home from a date
Slipped out of my shoes at the door
Then from the front room, I heard a jump tune
I looked in and here's what I saw
There in the night what a wonderful scene
Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song!
a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
They did the rock and roll waltz
a-rock, two, three, a-roll, two, three
It looked so cute to me
I love the rock and roll waltz
a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
a-one, two, and then jump
It's good for your soul
It's old but it's new
Let's do the rock and roll waltz
There in the night what a wonderful scene
Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song!
a-one, two, and then rock
a-one, two, and then roll
a-one, two, and then jump
It's good for your soul
It's old but it's new
Let's do the rock and roll waltz
Let's do the rock and roll waltz

The Trees They Do Grow High
The Trees They Do Grow High
(Adapted from: Lady Mary Anne - 1792)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Joan Baez - 1961
The trees they grow high, the leaves they do grow green
Many is the time my true love I've seen
Many an hour I have watched him all alone
He's young, but he's daily growing
Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong
You have married me to a boy who is too young
I'm twice twelve and he is but fourteen
He's young, but he's daily growing
Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong
I have married you to a great lord's son
He'll be a man for you when I am dead and gone
He's young, but he's daily growing
Father, dear father, if you see fit
We'll send him to college for another year yet
I'll tie blue ribbons all around his head
To let the maidens know that he's married
One day I was looking o'er my father's castle wall
I spied all the boys a-playing at the ball
My own true love was the flower of them all
He's young, but he's daily growing
And so early in the morning, at the dawning of the day
They went out into the hayfield to have some sport and play
And what they did there, she never would declare
But she never more complained of his growing
At the age of fourteen, he was a married man
At the age of fifteen, the father of a son
At the age of sixteen, his grave it was green
And death had put an end to his growing
I'll buy my love some flannel and I will make a shroud
With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down
With every stitch I put in it, how the tears will flow
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing

Come Un Ragazzo
Come Un Ragazzo
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan
Come un ragazzo ho i capelli giù
porti il maglione che porti tu
e con la cinta mi tengo su i pantalon
Come un ragazzo mi ostino un po'
e quando guardi negli occhi miei
non sono quella che abbassa mai
per prima i suoi
Ma poi
una ragazzina
lo sai
che io son per te
E che
se non ti ho vicino
non so
cosa far di me
Come un ragazzo ho una moto che
tocca i duecento quando mi va
ed ho una gang di amici che
da retta a me
Come un ragazzo per la città
cammino e vado di qua e di la
non ho paura di gente che
ce l'ha con me
Però
una ragazzina
sarò
sempre accanto a te
E tu
tutto quel che vuoi
lo sai
che puoi far di me
Come un ragazzo ho i capelli giù
porti il maglione che porti tu
e con la cinta mi tengo su
i pantalon
Come un ragazzo mi ostino un po'
e quando guardi negli occhi miei
non sono quella che abbassa mai
per prima i suoi
Però
una ragazzina
sarò
sempre accanto a te
Ma si
la tua ragazzina
ed e'
molto meglio sai

The Trees In Grosvenor Square
The Trees In Grosvenor Square
Composer(s): Bob Whittam
Performer(s): Doreen Lundy & The Radio Revellers
The trees in Grosvenor Square
What secrets do they share
Our hopes and fears
They’ve sheltered through the years
Those lovely trees in Grosvenor Square
But now the trees are bare
No longer do we linger there
I heard them sigh the night we said goodbye
And whispered a prayer in Grosvenor Square
They seemed to know that my heart travelled with you
(Oh London is not the same)
The trees with a sigh lift their arms to the sky
And softly whisper your name
They say please don’t despair
For sign of spring are everywhere
They know that soon I’ll find you again
With moonlight touching your hair
Beneath the trees in Grosvenor Square
Those wise old trees
The trees in Grosvenor Square
Those wise old trees
The trees in Grosvenor Square
In Grosvenor Square

Com’è triste Venezia
Soltanto un anno dopo
Com’è triste Venezia
Se non si ama più
Si cercano parole che nessuno dirà
E si vorrebbe piangere
Ma ormai non si può più
Com’è triste Venezia
Se nella barca c’è
Soltanto un gondoliere
Che guarda verso te
E non ti chiede niente
Perché negli occhi tuoi
E nella mente tua
C’è soltanto lei
Com’è triste Venezia
Soltanto un anno dopo
Com’è triste Venezia
Se non si ama più
I musei e le chiese
Si aprono per noi
Ma non lo sanno
Che ormai tu non ci sei
Troppo triste Venezia
Di sera la laguna
Se si cerca una mano
Che non si trova più
Si fa dell’ironia
Davanti a quella luna
Che un dì ti ha vista mia
E non ti vede più
Addio gabbiani in volo
Che un giorno salutaste
Due punti neri al suolo
Addio anche da lei
Com’è triste Venezia
Soltanto un anno dopo
Com’è triste Venezia
Se non si ama più

Rock & Roll Music
Rock & Roll Music
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry;
and various other artists
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were blowin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they had a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup
The folks dancin' there are all shook up
And started playin' that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
And In The Mood they take a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

The Treasure Of Love
Composer(s): Joeseph Shapiro - Lou Stallman
Performer(s): Clyde McPhatter
and multiple other artists
The treasure of love is easy to find
It's waiting for you if your heart isn't blind
The treasure of love is not very far
It glows like a fire and it shines like a star
It's stronger than diamonds
Worth more than gold
For this is a treasure that never grows old
The treasure of love is found on no chart
To find where it is just look in your heart
