Turn Off Your Light, Mr. Moon Man


Turn Off Your Light, Mr. Moon Man
Composer(s): Fred Barnes - R.P. Weston
Performer(s): Nora Bayes & Jack Norworth



When the Moon is shining yellow
And a girl is with her fellow
Both are getting nice and mellow
It's a surprise to find

If the Moon-Man should discover
Sweethearts meeting under cover
Can you blame that girl and lover
If they say "Turn off that light"

Turn off your light, Mr. Moon-Man
Go and hide your face behind the clouds
Can't you see that couples wanna spoon, Man
Two is company and three's a crowd

When each little lad and lady
Find a spot so nice and shady
That's your cue to say "Goodnight, Goodnight"
And if they wanna spoon
Listen Mr. Moon
Be a sport and turn off your light

All the lads and little misses
Who are fond of hugs and kisses
Must remember half of bliss
Is found on any cloudy night

Nighttime is the time for spooning
Serenades and lovers crooning
Preliminary honeymooning
Calls for darkness, not for light

Turn off your light, Mr. Moon-Man
Go and hide your face behind the clouds
Can't you see that couples wanna spoon, Man
Two is company and three's a crowd

When each little lad and lady
Find a spot so nice and shady
That's your cue to say "Goodnight, Goodnight"
And if they wanna spoon
Listen Mr. Moon
Be a sport and turn off your light

Turn off your light, Mr. Moon-Man
Go and hide your face behind the clouds

Can't you see that couples wanna spoon, Man
Two is company and three's a crowd

When each little lad and lady
Find a spot so nice and shady
That's your cue to say "Goodnight, Goodnight"
And if they wanna spoon
Now listen Mr. Moon
Be a sport and turn off your light

If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms

Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day remember how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forevermore I will wait for you

The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms

If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're here beside me, till I'm touching you
And forevermore sharing your love

Kokomo


Kokomo
Composer(s): Scott McKenzie; John Phillips;
Mike Love; Terry Melcher
Performer(s): The Beach Boys; The Vandals;
Adam Green & Ben Kweller; Clementine



Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I want to take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go Jamaica

Off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you want to go
To get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo

{Refrain}
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I want to take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go
Ooh I want to take you
Down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
That's where we want to go
Way down in Kokomo

Martinique, that Montserrat mystique
We'll put out to sea
And we'll perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy
A little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo

{Refrain}

Port au del Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo

{Refrain twice, fade}

Turn Of The Century


Turn Of The Century
Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Alan White
First release: Yes - 1977



Realising a form out of stone
Set hands moving
Roan shaped his heart
thru his working hands
Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun

In his room, his lady
she would dance and sing so completely
So be still he now cries
I have time, oh let clay transform thee so

In the deep cold of night
winter calls, he cries 'Don't deny me!'
For his lady, deep her illness
Time has caught her
and will for all reasons take her

In the still light of dawn, she dies
Helpless hands soul revealing

Like leaves we touch we learn
We once knew the story
As winter calls he will starve
All but to see the stone be life

Now Roan, no more tears
Set to work his strength
So transformed him
realising a form out of stone
His work so absorbed him
Could she hear him?
Could she see him?
All aglow was his room dazed in this light
He would touch her
he would hold her
Laughing as they danced
Highest colors touching others

Did her eyes at the turn of the century
tell me plainly
when we meet, how we'll love, oh let life so transform me

Like leaves we touched we danced
We once knew the story
As autumn called and we both
remembered all those many years ago
I'm sure we know

Was the sign with a touch
As I kiss your fingers
We walk hands in the sun
Memories when we're young
Love lingers so

Was it sun through the haze
that made all your looks
as warm as moonlight?
As a pearl deep in your eyes
tears have flown away
all the same light

Did her eyes at the turn of the century
tell me plainly
when we meet how we'll look
as we smile time will leave me clearly

Like leaves we touch, we see
We will know the story
As autumn calls we'll both remember
all those many years ago

Glücklich war die Nacht
als du zu mir gesagt
ich liebe dich und bleib' dir treu!
Glücklich war die Zeit
warum bist du so weit?
Noch klingt dein Abschiedswort
ich bleib' dir immer treu!
Seit jenem letzten Tag
hab' ich viel um dich geweint
weil ohne deinen Kuss
für mich keine Sonne mehr scheint
doch einmal kommt die Zeit
dann bist du wieder mein
ein ferner Traum
zu schön um wahr zu sein

Tausend Rosen blühten
einen Sommer lang
tausend Sterne glühten
einen Sommer lang
und mit tausend Worten
schorst du treu zu sein
doch bin ich heut'
wieder allein
Denn du bliebst bei mir
einen Sommer lang
und so tanzten wir
nur einen Sommer lang
bis ein weißes Schiff
in unsern Hafen kam
und unser Glück
mit auf's Meer nahm

Dir gehört mein Leben
und ich werd' nie mehr frei
Jede Stunde ohne dich
reißt mir das Herz entzwei
unser Glück, unser Traum - vorbei!

Turn My Life Down


Turn My Life Down
Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



When I see you next time round in sorrow
Will you know what I been going through
My yesterdays have melted with my tomorrow
And the present leaves me with no point of view
When I see you next time round look into my eyes
Where we’d be never could decide
Borrowed moments they cannot fill the moments of our lives
And wishful thinking leaves me no place to hide
No place to hide
No place to hide
I see the shadows softly coming
Taking me into a place
Where they turn my life down
Leaving mourning with myself
And nothing to say

Kom Binnen, Duivinnen


Kom Binnen, Duivinnen
Performer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen



In het duivensportseizoen
Sta ik 's zondags voor de noen
Uren, uren, uren
Naar de lucht te uren

Met Bordeaux en met Arras
Hebbe kik altijd maar ambras
Op m'n koer is alles stil
Als die rosse niet vallen wil

Kom binnen, kom duivinnen
Ge moet u gaan bezinnen
Blijf niet zitten op het dak
Want anders scheur ik weer mijne frak

Kom binnen, kom duivinnen
Ik zou zo graag eens winnen
Kom nu eindelijk op uw kot
Want ik speel de grote pot

Alle dagen van het jaar
Sta ik met m'n centen klaar
Kopen, kopen, kopen
Duivenvoer met hopen

Maar toch komt wel eens de dag
Dat ik luidop stoefen mag
Dan wint een duifje van m'n hok
Toch zo'n schoon Westminsterklok

Allé kom binnen, kom duivinnen
Ge moet u gaan bezinnen
Blijf niet zitten op het dak
Want anders scheur ik weer mijne frak

Kom binnen, kom duivinnen
Ik zou zo graag eens winnen
Kom nu eindelijk op uw kot
Want ik speel de grote pot

Kom binnen, kom duivinnen
Ik zou zo graag eens winnen
Kom nu eindelijk op uw kot
Want ik speel de grote pot

Turn Me On


Turn Me On
Composer(s): Sidney Barnes - Greg Perry
Performer(s): Rotary Connection



You say you know all about life
And that you know why all the lights are turned on
Well if you're my friend, don't keep me in the darkness
Silently waiting the dawn

Turn me on
I want to know what it's all about
Turn me on
Tell me of love, speak about

You claim your wisdom is wide as the keychain
That hangs from the breast of a king
Well I'm just a pilgrim, a one night event
A good and a worthy young man

Turn me on
I want to know what it's all about
Turn me on
Tell me of love, speak about

Mention the people who've gone on before me
There's happiness growing at heart
And would I be welcome if I were to mention
To visit or follow a star

Ah, turn me on
I want to know what it's all about
Turn me on
Tell me about, speak about
Turn me on
I want to know what it's all about
Turn me on
Tell me about, speak about
Turn me on
I want to know what it's all about
Turn me on
Tell me about, speak about

Cuanta soledad, cuanta pena y dolor
Por el final de nuestro amor
Desde que perdí tu cariño viví
Con los recuerdo que quedaron de ti
La sombra de tu ausencia me persigue más y más
De noche me atormenta con la inmensa oscuridad
No quiero ver a nadie
Ya he perdido la ilusión
Por eso así canta mi corazón

No podré jamás vivir sin tu querer
Porque moriré si no te veo más
Se que no podré
Dejarte de soñar porque yo no sé como olvidar

Te estaré esperando una eternidad
Te estaré soñando cada día más
Te suplico amor que vuelvas junto a mi
Que la vida no es nada sin ti

No olvido aquel momento en que dijiste adiós
No olvido tu figura cuando se alejó
Vuelve a mi que es tuyo mi amor

Kom Dichterbij


Kom Dichterbij
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre



Ik hield je verborgen
Heel diep in m'n geest
Waar jij m'n geheime
Gedachten leest

Tot die dag
Dat ik je ontmoette
'k Wist meteen
Hij is niet iedereen

Kom dichterbij
Ik wil jou dichterbij
Kom dichterbij
Dans meer en meer dichterbij

Een dans van passie en vuur en het vuur dat ons samen verbindt
Terwijl die donkere blik in je ogen m'n lichaam verslindt

De nacht is een dame
Vol duistere mystiek
Maar achter haar ramen
Daar klinkt muziek

Daar wacht jij
Ik weet wat gaat komen
Neem het aan
Zorg dat ik voor je val

Kom dichterbij
Ik wil jou dichterbij
Kom dichterbij
Dans meer en meer dichterbij

Oh, we zweven zo mooi als ik in je armen zweef
Het is net alsof ik voor het eerst echt leef

Kom dichterbij
Ik wil jou dichterbij
Kom dichterbij
Dans meer en meer dichterbij

Kom dichterbij
Ik wil jou dichterbij
Kom dichterbij
Dans meer en meer dichterbij

Kom dichterbij

Turn me loose, turn me loose I say
This is the first time I have felt this way
Gonna get a thousand kicks or kiss a thousand chicks

Lontano da te non restano per me
Che i quattro muri del nostro amor
E l'ombra di te non mi abbandona mai in ogni attimo
Io penso sempre a te
La gente non c'è più, c'è come il vuoto intorno a me
Io non capisco niente perchè son niente senza te
Ho rinunciato a tutto e tu sei tutto ormai per me
Ricordati che mai ti scorderò
Io non ho che te amore credimi
Senza te ormai non posso vivere
Se non sei con me il mondo è inutile
Non mi lasciare mai sola così
Io non ho che te amore credimi
Senza te non c'è che solitudine
Dimmi dove sei verrò a raggiungerti
Non mi lasciare mai sola così
Pioveva quella sera che mi hai detto addio
E piove questa sera mentre penso a te
Amo te, tu sei tutto, tu

Eliza:
Bed! Bed! Hoe kan ik nu naar bed?
Als dansmuziek nog warrelt door m'n hoofd?
Slaap! Slaap! 'k Heb helemaal geen slaap!
Nee, al werd me weet ik wat beloofd!

Kom terug en dans met mij!
Kom terug en dans met mij!
Al was 't tot morgen vroeg
Ik kijk jou aan en zwijg
't Is of ik vleugels krijg
Voor mij is 't nooit genoeg!
Hoe of het was
dat heb ik nooit geweten
nu is 't al
weer lang voorbij

M'n liefste wens is nou
na deze dans met jou
kom terug en dans, dans, dans met mij!

Het is half vier, kind

En Mrs. Pearce vindt
dat je naar bed moet

Ik kijk jou aan en zwijg
't Is of ik vleugels krijg
Voor mij is 't nooit genoeg!

Bedienden:
Wat ben je moe!
Wat is het laat!
Je bent niet meer
tot iets in staat
Nu geen gespring meer!
't Is meer dan tijd
dat je naar bed toe gaat
Doe nu maar wat
je wordt gezegd
Want Mrs. Pearce
die meent het echt
Je weet toch wel, kind
voor je gestel, kind
is het zo slecht

Eliza:
Hoe of het was
dat heb ik nooit geweten
Nu is 't al
weer lang voorbij
Mijn liefste wens is nou
na deze dans met jou
Kom terug en dans, dans, dans met mij!

Bedienden:
Leg nu dat boek
maar aan de kant
en zoek de rust
van dromenland!

Mrs. Pearce:
Het was enorm, kind
Maar na de storm, kind
komt nu een tijd van rust!

Eliza:
Kom terug en dans met mij!
Kom terug en dans met mij!
Al was 't tot morgen vroeg
ik kijk jou aan en zwijg

Turn Loose Of My Leg


Turn Loose Of My Leg
Performer(s): Jim Stafford



These girls today they sure act funny
Take you out and spend their money
But they always seem to expect a favor or two
A girl picked me up about a week ago
Drug me out to some drive-in show
Oh, I can't begin to say what she put me through
She parked me on the very last row
Reached down and grabbed my knee
My whole life flashed before my eyes
I said this can't be happening to me

Turn loose of my leg
I don't know you that well
Turn loose of my leg
In love with you I have not fell
I know what you are
Just forget it and remove your hand
Turn loose of my leg
I'm not that kind of man

The other day I was at the soda shop
Had an ice cream sundae and a soda pop
The waitress brought me a note from a woman in a booth
The note said join me for another round
And I'll pick up your check and show you the town
I can't begin to say what she put me through
Underneath that table her fingers did the walkin'
Till she touched the tip of my shoe
I ran for the door but she wouldn't let go
I must a drug her for a block or two

Turn loose of my leg
You don't seem to understand
I'm not that kind of man
You want to hug me and hold me
And kiss me on the mouth
You make me want to crawl the walls
When your hands start flying south

Turn loose of my leg
I don't know you that well
Turn loose of my leg
In love with you I have not fell
I know what you are
Just forget it and remove your hand
Turn loose of my leg
I'm not that kind of man

Animal
Now don't you think we can have some kind of relationship
Without being so physical... huh?

Depuis quelques jours je vis dans le silence
Des quatres murs de mon amour
Depuis ton départ l'ombre de ton absence
Me poursuit chaque nuit et me fuit chaque jour
Je ne vois plus personne j'ai fait le vide autour de moi
Je ne comprends plus rien parce que je ne suis rien sans toi
J'ai renoncé à tout parce que je n'ai plus d'illusions
De notre amour écoute la chanson

Non je ne pourrai jamais vivre sans toi
Je ne pourrai pas, ne pars pas, j'en mourrai
Un instant sans toi et je n'existe pas
Mais mon amour ne me quitte pas
Mon amour je t'attendrai toute ma vie
Reste près de moi reviens je t'en supplie
J'ai besoin de toi je veux vivre pour toi
Oh mon amour ne me quitte pas

Ils se sont séparés sur le quai d'un gare
Ils se sont éloignés dans un dernier regard
Oh je t'aim' ne me quitte pas

Refrein:
Kom van dat dak af, 'k waarschuw niet meer
Nee, nee, nee, nee, nee, nee
Van dat dak af, 'k waarschuw niet meer
Kom van dat dak af, dit was de laatste keer

Jan Janssen zijn vrouw was een koorddanseres
Bij gebrek aan een touw klom ze op het bordes
Het eten werd koud en Jan Janssen werd heet
In de straat weerklonk zijn kreet

Jan Janssen werd kwaad, en zei: aan is de boot
Kom van dat dak af of je gaat in de goot
Maar zijn vrouw schrok zich wild en was ten einde raad
Toen weerklonk het in de straat

Turn 'Erbert's Face To The Wall


Turn 'Erbert's Face To The Wall
Composer(s): Ronald Hill
Performer(s): Gracie Fields



We once were a most happy 'ousehold
With smiles on our lips all the time
Till some cruel and black-hearted villain
Showed us the pathway to crime

Young 'Erbert he patronised racin'
But none of his 'orses would win
So he robbed a harmless old bookie
And went off to gaol for his sin

Turn 'Erbert's face to the wall, Mother
Never more mention 'is name
For he's brought disgrace on the family
And bowed down our 'eads with shame

Father took lessons in forgin'
Found notes were 'is favourite line
Till he offered one in the Courthouse
When he had to pay a small fine

Turn Father's face to the wall, Mother
His photograph turn on its nail
He won't see the last rose this summer
They've taken him back to gaol

Rosie, she went to the pictures
An innocent girl she was then
She forgot what her mother had told her
About taking gifts from strange men

Turn Rosie's face to the wall, Mother
Her picture shall 'ang on black string
She may have her furs and her jewels
But she's got no wedding ring

Oh, it's perfectly awful
I don't know what family's comin' to, oh dear

Our 'ousehold is scattered and broken
Our future will n'er be the same
Young Alfred has now departed
And Sally has lost her good name

Turn us all 'round to the wall, Mother
We're all just as bad as can be
And it's all through you meetin' poor Father
You've ruined the family

Oh dear, it's terrible, it's terrible
I think we all ought to die out
Perhaps we could get somebody come in and shoot us

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
('Cause) you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
Go on now ...
