Trouble (P!nk)


Trouble
Composer(s): Tim Armstrong - P!nk
First release: P!nk - 2003



No attorneys to plead my case
No orbits to send me into outer space
And my fingers are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold
But that ain't gonna help me now

Trouble, yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
Trouble, yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll

You think your right, but you were wrong
You tried to take me, but I knew all along
You can take me for a ride
I'm not a fool now, so you better run and hide

Trouble, yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
Trouble, yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town

(If you see me coming)
(Down the street) Down the street
(Then you'll know it's time)
It's time to go-o-o-o (to go)

You think your right, but you were wrong
You tried to take me, but I knew all along
You can take me for a ride
I'm not a fool now, so you better run and hide

Trouble, yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
Trouble, yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town

If you see me coming
(Down the street) Down the street
(Then you'll know it's time)
It's time to go-o-o-o-o (To go)

Trouble, yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
Trouble, yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll

Trouble, yeah, trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
Trouble, yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town

Yeah, trouble in my town (Trouble)

I got trouble in my town!

Jellied Eels


Jellied Eels
Composer(s): Lionel Bart
Performer(s): Joe Brown



Now, ever since I was a mite
I've had a whacking appetite
My hollering for dinner would raise the rafters,
I'd swallow my befores as well as me afters!
'Til one sunny afternoon
They bunged something in me spoon
And I'm sure it must have been ever since then
That I've had an irresistable yen
For
Jellied eels, jellied eels
Woggling about like wonky wheels
Why d'ya frown and look so sickly?
Slide 'em down your throat so quickly!
Don't bring up any empty cup
Though I knows just how ya feels
When you gets a taste
You won't wanna waste
Them lovely jellied eels!

Now, winkles and shrimps are fine
I've flogged 'em since the age of nine
I used to jog along with me two-wheeled barrow
But there was something wrong
There was something the matter!
I'd no jellied eels on show
No wonder they didn't want to know!
I went out, bought a load, piled 'em up in a pile
And people could smell me coming a mile off!

Oh, jellied eels. jellied eels
woggling about like wonky wheels
Why d'ya frown and look so sickly?
Slide them down your throat so quickly!
Don't bring up any empty cup
Though I knows just how you feels
When you gets the taste
You won't wanna waste
Them lovely jellied eels!

All together now!

Jellied eels. jellied eels
woggling about like wonky wheels
Why d'ya frown and look so sickly?
Slide them down your throat so quickly!
Don't bring up any empty cup
Though I knows just how you feels
When you gets to taste
You won't wanna waste
Them lovely jellied eels!

It's alright for you missus
I ain't come down here on a Saturday morning
What do I get?
Kids, nippers, chavvies, all round me stal,
Rotten, filthy, dirty, stinking, jammy, chocolatey fingers
All over me jellied eels
Not to mention me whelks, my cockles and my muscles...

and me lovely jellied eels!
Oh, jellied eels, jellied eels
Woggling about like wonky wheels
Why d'ya frown and look so sickly?
Slide 'em down your throat so quickly!
Don't bring up any empty cup
Though I know just how you feels
When you gets a taste
You won't wanna waste
Them lovely jellied eels!

T-r-o-u-b-l-e


T-r-o-u-b-l-e
Composer(s): Jerry Chesnut
Performer(s): Elvis Presley
and multiple other artists



I play an old piano from nine till a half past one
Tryin' to make a livin' watchin' everybody else havin' fun
Well, I don't miss much that ever happens on a dance hall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door

Well, hello T-r-o-u-b-l-e
What in the world you doin' A-l-o-n-e?
Say, good L-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell T-r-o-u-b-l-e

I was a little bitty baby when my papa hit the skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
Told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite
And did the best she could to try to raise me right

But mama never told me 'bout nothing like Y-o-u
Say, your mama must have been another something or another too
Say, hello good L-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell T-r-o-u-b-l-e

Well, you talk about a woman, I've seen a lot of others
With too much something' and not enough another
You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
Lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream

Mother Nature's sure been good to Y-o-u
Well, your mama must have been another good lookin' mother too
Say, hey, good L-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell T-r-o-u-b-l-e

Well, you talk about a trouble-makin' hunka pokey bait
The men are gonna love and all the women gonna hate
Reminding them of everything they never gonna be
Maybe the beginning of World War III
Oh, the world ain't ready for nothin' like a Y-o-u
Well, I bet your mama must have been another something or another too

Say hey good L-double o-k-i-n-g
I smell T-r-o-u-b-l-e

I remember you-ooh
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago

I remember you-ooh
You're the one who said "I love you, too"
Yes, I do, didn'tcha know?

I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember you-ooh

I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Just like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember, tell them I remember
Tell them I remember you

Eat It


Eat It
((Adapted from: Beat It (Michael Jackson) - 1982))
Composer(s): Michael Jackson - "Weird Al" Yankovic
Performer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic - 1984



How come you're always such a fussy young man
Don't want no Cap'n Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
Well don't you know that other kids are starvin' in Japan
So eat it, just eat it

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kinds of foods you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off you're plate
So eat it

Don't you tell me you're full
Just eat it... eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it

Have some more chicken
Have some more pie
It doesn't matter
If it's boiled or fried

Just eat it, just eat it
Just eat it, just eat it... Woo!

Your table manners are a crying shame
You're playing with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death
You'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it. Just eat it.

You better listen, better do as you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down, or it's gonna get cold
So eat it.

I don't care if you're full
Just eat it... eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it

Have some more yogurt
Have some more Spam
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned
Just eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
Don't you make me repeat it!

Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch

Just eat it! Eat it!
Eat it! Eat it!
Eat it! Eat it!
If it's too cold, reheat it

Have a big dinner
Have a light snack
If you don't like it, you can't send it back

Just eat it! Eat it!
Get yourself an egg and beat it!

Have some more chicken
Have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried

Just eat it! Eat it!
Don't you make me repeat it!

Two, ah-three, ah-four
Two, ah-three, ah-four
Two, ah-three, ah-four

I really should be saying goodnight
I really shouldn't stay anymore
It's been so long since I held ya

So come to me darlin' and hold me
Let your honey keep you warm
Been so long since I held ya
I've forgotten what love is for

I think I'm in trouble

I should run
On the double
I think I'm in trouble
I think I'm in trouble
I think I'm in trouble

Vous Souvenez-Vous?


Vous Souvenez-Vous?
Adapted from: I Remember You - 1942
Composer(s): Victor Schertzinger; Johnny Mercer; Georges Gosset
Performer(s): Lucky Blondo - 1963



Vous souvenez-vous?
Cette nuit passée auprès de vous
Sur la plage au sable doux?

Vous souvenez-vous?
Le vent soulevait vos cheveux fous
Qui caressaient votre joue

Vous souvenez-vous?
J'ai osé vous embrasser
Puis ce fut l'instant si doux, ou ou ou
Tous deux allongés
Sous le ciel étoilé, sans parler
Pour mieux rêver
Oui, c'est loin mais vous en souvenez-vous?

Vous souviendrez-vous, cet été
Quand je reviendrai vous chercher?
Que direz-vous, ou ou ou?
J'ai tant attendu
Ce moment où je vous reverrai
Et vous dirai
"De moi, chérie, vous souvenez-vous?
Vous en souvenez-vous?
De moi, vous souvenez-vous?

Easy, Sois Facile Avec Moi


Easy, Sois Facile Avec Moi
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Easy elle s'appelait facile je croyais
Elle avait des yeux à vous tourner la tête
Et je crois bien que la mienne a tourné

Le ciel lui avait donné ce qu'il faut pour vous troubler
Mais chaque médaille possède aussi son revers
Sa beauté me cachait son mauvais caractère

Sois facile avec moi Easy
Je n' t'ai rien promis
Sois facile avec moi Easy
Laisse-moi vivre ma vie

Pourquoi faut-il toujours
Que les filles compliquent l'amour

Je faisais ce qu'il faut
Bien souvent plus qu'il n'en faut
Ça n'était jamais assez pour cette fille
Qui ne trouvait jamais rien de bon rien de beau

La liberté lorsque l'on aime peut être enchaînée
Et je ne sais rien de plus triste en moi même
Que celui qu'on retient quand il veut s'en aller

Oh! Sois facile avec moi Easy
Je n' t'ai rien promis
Sois facile avec moi Easy
Laisse-moi vivre ma vie

Pourquoi faut-il toujours
Que les filles compliquent l'amour

Ne pourra-t-elle jamais
M'écouter sans rien compliquer
C'est pourquoi aujourd'hui
Que sans arrêt je lui dis

Sois facile avec moi Easy
Je n' t'ai rien promis
Sois facile avec moi Easy

Sois facile avec moi Easy
Je n' t'ai rien promis...

Trouble (Delbert McClinton & Iris DeMent)


Trouble
Composer(s): Iris DeMent - Elmer McCall
Performer(s): Delbert McClinton & Iris DeMent



I went to church on Sunday, I swung my chariot low
Reached up to kiss the deacon, he said "You'd better go"
Trouble, I'm in trouble with him
Trouble's where I'm going
Trouble's the only place I've ever been

Let's buy a watermelon, swallow all the seeds
Forget what Mama told us, do everything we please
Trouble, trouble again
Trouble's where we're going
Trouble's the only place we've ever been

Let's pour a little whiskey, drink a little gin
Listen to Merle Haggard like he's loving me again
Trouble, I'm even in trouble with him
Trouble's where I'm going
Trouble's the only place I've ever been

Let's turn off the TV, I'm tired of CNN
Let's throw a little party, invite some sinners in
Trouble, trouble again
Trouble's where we're going
Trouble's the only place we've ever been

I'll paint your toenails baby, you paint my toenails too
We'll take a walk down Main Street and watch what people do
Trouble, let's get in trouble with them
Trouble's where we're going
Trouble's the only place we've ever been

There's people building prisons for people like you and me
Some people just can't stand people like us being free
Trouble, what's trouble with them
Trouble's where we're heading
Trouble's the only place we've ever been

Sooner or later, darling, everybody's gotta go
Let's you and me leave early, get a seat on the first row
Trouble, trouble again
Trouble's where we're going
Trouble's the only place we've ever been

I Remember When I Was Young


I Remember When I Was Young
Composer(s): Matt Taylor
Performer(s): Matt Taylor; John Farnham



Well I remember when I was young
The world had just begun and I was happy
I used to wonder about the earth
And how it moved around the sun so snappy
Imagination going wild makes a very backward child, they told me
So back at school I'd sit around just waiting for the sound so I could go home

Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present is now

Well I remember when I was young
How one and tripence got ya to the movies
To look tough we'd lite a smoke and very nearly choke
But we had a real good time
Growing older meant you get to fly a saber jet and fight a few wars
So I'd just sit there all day and let my mind decay something awful

Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present is now

Well I remember when I was young
I had a secret love who never knew it
Well I'd do tricks upon my bike that never turned out right
I always blew it
And the day we had to part I had a broken heart
But couldn't let on
So I spent my holidays just thinking of the ways I must be going wrong

Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present is now

Well I remember when I was young the Beatles turned me on
I really blew my mind
And we'd carry Jack and Pam
We'd go and watch a band and have a real good time
Then I heard the Blackmans blues
They really blew a fuse inside my head
So with some friends we made a stand and formed our first blues band
It was a real good thing

Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present is now

Well I remember when I was young
Well I remember when I was young
I surely do
Well I remember when I was young
Well I remember when I was young
I surely do

Easy To Slip


Easy To Slip
Composer(s): Lowell George - Martin Kibbee First release by: Little Feat - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



It's so easy to slip
It's so easy to fall
And let your memory drift'
And do nothin' at all
All the love that you missed

All the people that you can't recall
Do they really exist at all
Well my whole world seems so cold today
All the magics's gone away
And our time together melts away
Like the sad melody I play

Well I don't want to drift forever
In the shadow of your leaving me
So I'll light another cigarette
And try to remember to forget
It's so easy to slip
It's so easy to fall
And let your memory drift'
And do nothin' at all
All the love that you missed

All the people that you can't recall
Do they really exist at all

Tropical Christmas


Tropical Christmas
Composer(s): David Bellamy
Performer(s): The Bellamy Brothers



Well, it sure is nice down here this time of year
The tourists are tanned and there's holiday cheer
Here comes Santa Claus, havin' a tropical Christmas

I'm mailin' out cards to the great frozen North
Sweatin' from the energy I could force
In jingle bells, havin' a tropical Christmas

And when the Sun sets down in the ocean
We'll decorate the palm tree
We'll mingle ornaments with coconut lights
Then we'll go caroling through paradise
And thank Baby Jesus for this tropical silent night

First we'll open our presents, then we'll lay on the beach
Later we'll call, see what relatives we reach
In their winter wonderland, havin' a tropical Christmas

And when the Sun sets down in the ocean
We'll decorate the palm tree
We'll mingle ornaments with coconut lights
Then we'll go caroling through paradise
And thank Baby Jesus for this tropical silent night

Hey Kris Kringle, when you empty your sleigh
Stop by and kick back with us a few days
You and Rudolph, havin' a tropical Christmas
We'll build a snowman in sand, havin' a tropical Christmas
Grandma wants a new bikini, havin' a tropical Christmas
Y'all come on down, we'll have a tropical Christmas
Bring your suntan oil, havin' a tropical Christmas
Let their be peace on Earth, havin' a tropical Christmas
Bring some surfboards for the kids...

I Remember When


I Remember When
Composer(s): Percy Haid; Ed Sarche
Performer(s): Eddie Fisher
and multiple other artists



I remember when your eyes were smiling at me
Now there’s just a cloud where once the stars used to be
Tender memories bring back your wondrous charms
In my reverie, you linger in my arms
Once upon a star I made a vow, so did you
Then you went away, forsaking all vows from you
Still I can’t forget the dreams I once shared with you
I remember when you loved me too

Once upon a star I made a vow, so did you
Then you went away, forsaking all vows from new
Still I can’t forget the dreams I once shared with you
I remember when you loved me too

Easy To Love


Easy To Love Composer(s): Cole Porter First recording by/First performance: Teddy Wilson and His Orch. - 1926/James Stewart - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists



I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
In thinking such a thing could be
That you could ever care for me
I'm sure you hate to hear
That I adore you, dear
But grant me
Just the same
I'm not entirely to blame
For love
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every homefire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together
That it does seem a shame
That you can't see
Your future with me
'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love

Trop Tard


Trop Tard
Composer(s): Alex Alstone - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Trop tard
Il est trop tard désormais
J'ai tout gâché
J'ai tout brisé
Trop tard
Je dois payer mes erreurs
Au prix d'un coeur
Qui m'aime
Je lutte avec moi-même
Cherchant un peu d'espoir
Trop tard
Ils sont perdus, je le vois
Les jours de joie
Pour toi et moi

Trop tard
Il est trop tard mon amour
Car notre amour
Meurt mon amour
Trop tard
Je ne vis plus dans ta vie
Et mon coeur cri
D'angoisse
Je sais, quoi que je fasse
Qu'on fond, c'est sans espoir
Trop tard
Mon coeur devra loin de toi
Battre sans toi
Vivre sans toi

I Remember The Cornfields


I Remember The Cornfields
Composer(s): Martin Mayne; Harry Ralton
Performer(s): Dorothy Squires
and multiple other artists



I remember the cornfields
In the wind softly sighing
And the swing beneath the chestnut tree

I remember my school friend
Happy days swiftly flying
And my room still waiting for me

The old harvest moon
Shining over the city
Discovers me there
And regards me with pity
While sad of heart I roam

I remember my first love
And the last time he kissed me
By the golden cornfields of home

The old harvest moon
Shining over the city
Discovers me there
And regards me with pity
While sad of heart I roam

I remember my first love
And the last time he kissed me
By the golden cornfields
Those lovely cornfields of home
Sweet home

Easy To Be Hard


Easy To Be Hard
Composer(s): Galt MacDermot - James Rado - Gerome Ragni First performance/First release by: Jill O'Hara - 1967/1968 Covered by multiple other artists



How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard, easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud, easy to say no

Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend, I need a friend

How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud, easy to say no

Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend, we all need a friend

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Come, on, easy to give in, easy to say no
Easy to be cold, easy to say no
Much too easy to say no

Trop Grand Pour Moi


Trop Grand Pour Moi
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



Et les rues sont autant de couloirs
Silencieux et solitaires
Et les vapeurs du soir me font peur
Comme c'est grand la terre
Moi si petite, si fragile
Je m'étonne à chaque pas
D'être née dans ce monde là

Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Si petite, si fragile

Et ceux que j'aime
Mes frères et mes amis
Se réveillent encore
Quand pour moi il fait nuit
Ils sont si loin de moi

Mon père, j'ai mis tellement de temps
À le connaître un peu
Comment faire pour ces millions de gens
Moi qui ne sais rien d'eux
Qu'une image sur un écran
Comme un petit point dans le temps
De ce monde si grand

Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Si petite, si fragile

Je vole, je roule
Je prends tous les chemins
Je suis loin de chez moi
Mais ce monde est sans fin
Il est trop grand pour moi

Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Si petite, si fragile

Il est trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Trop grand pour moi
Je m'étonne à chaque pas
D'être née dans ce monde là

Honoré (Maurice Chevalier) & Mamita (Hermione Gingold)

H: We met at nine
M: We met at eight
H: I was on time
M: No, you were late
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
We dined with friends
M: We dined alone
H: A tenor sang
M: A baritone
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
That dazzling April moon!
M: There was none that night
And the month was June
H: That's right
That's right
M: It warms my heart to know that you remember still the way you do
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well

H: How often I've thought of that Friday
M: Monday
H: night when we had our last rendezvous
And somehow I foolishly wondered if you might
By some chance be thinking of it too?
That carriage ride
M: You walked me home
H: You lost a glove
M: I lost a comb
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
That brilliant sky
M: We had some rain
H: Those Russian songs
M: From sunny Spain
H: You wore a gown of gold
M: I was all in blue
H: Am I getting old?
M: Oh, no, not you
How strong you were
How young and gay
A prince of love
In every way
H: Ah, yes, I remember it well
