NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT (GERSHWIN)
Holding hands at midnight 'neath a starry sky.
Nice work if you can get it, and you can get it if you try.
Strolling with the one guy, sighing sigh after sigh.
Nice work if you can et it, and you can get it if you try.
Just imagine someone waiting at the cottage door,
where two hearts become one, who could ask for anything more.
Loving one who loves you, and then taking that vow.
Nice work if you can get it, and you can get it won't you tell me how
IT AIN'T NECESARILLY SO (GERSHWIN)
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so.
De t'ings dat yo li'ble
To read in de Bible
It ain't necessarily so.
Li'l' David was small, but oh my!
Li'l' David was small, but oh my!
He fought Big Goliath
Who lay down and dieth
Li'l' David was small, but oh my!

I GOT RHYTHM (GEORGE GERSHWIN)
I got rhythm, I got music I got my man who could ask for anything more
I got daisies, in green pastures. I got my man, who could ask for anything more
Old man trou-ble, I don't mind him. You won't find him Round my doo-or
I got rhy-thm, I got mu-sic I got my man who could ask for a-ny-thing more
I WILL WAIT FOR YOU (MICHEL LEGRAND)
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'll 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

GIRL FROM IPANEMA (ANTONIO CARLOS
JOBIM)
Tall and tan and young and love-ly, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
and when she passes, each one she passes goes "ahh!"
When she walks she's lik a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle
that when she passes, each one she passes goes "Ahh!"
Oh, but I watch her so sadly, How can I tell her I love her?
Yes I would give my heart gladly But each day when she walks to the sea,
she looks straigt ahead, not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
and when she passes I smile, but she doesn't see
MY FAVORITE THINGS (RODGERS/HAMMERSTEIN)
Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up on string these are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles
wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
these are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin dashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
these are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad
SYRENITY (HAN GEERLIGS)
down in the street I see a face looks like thee
behind that cute little smile I see is a heart of intrigue
'cause you were playing with me, refusing to see that feelings turned to gray
Time will have its say, that I was right to go away
and up on the hill is a guy/girl looks like me
deep in his/her mind illogical thoughts are running free,
when life was just a one dimensional passing of time,
just looking forward and the world seemed fine
listening to the syren's call, thought it was right but I was deaf, dumb and blind
BAD, BAD LEROY BROWN (JIM CROCE)
Now, the south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town.
And if you go down there
You better just beware of a cat name of Leroy Brown.
Now, Leroy more than trouble,
You see he stand 'bout six foot four.
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
And the studs just call him sir
And he's bad bad Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Now, Leroy, he's a gambler,
and he digs those fancy clothes.
And he likes to wave his shiny diamond rings
in front of ev' rybody's nose.
He got a custom Continental.
He got an Eldorado too.
He got a thirtytwo gun in his pocket for fun.
He got a razor in his shoe.
And he's bad bad Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Well, Friday 'bout a week ago,
Leroy's shootin' dice
at the edge of the bar sat a chick name of Doris
and oh, that girl looked nice
Well, he layed his eyes upon her
and the trouble soon began.
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
with the wife of a jealous man
And he's bad bad Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Well, the two men took to fightin'
And when they pulled them from the floor,
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
with a couple of pieces gone.
And he's bad bad Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
FRAGILE (STING)
If blood will flow, when flesh and steel are one
that drying the color of the evening sun
tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
but something in our mind will allways stay
perhaps this final act was meant to cling a lifetimes argument
that nothing comes fron violence and nothing ever could
for all those born beneath an angry star lest we forget how fragile we are
on and on the rain will fall like tears from a star like tears from a star
on and on the rain will say how fragile we are how fragile we are
on and on the rain will fall like tears from a star like tears from a star
on and on the rain will say how fragile we are how fragile we are
how fragile we are how fragile we are
BUONA SERA (LOUIS PRIMA)
Buona sera senorita buona sera
it is time to say goodnight to Napoli
Though it's hard for us to whisper Buona Sera
with that old moon above the Mediterranean sea
In the morning senorita we'll go walking
Where the mountains and the sea come in to sight
By the little jewlershop we stop and linger
While I buy a wedding ring for your finger
In the meantime did I tell you that I love you
Buona sera signorita kiss me good night
Buona sera senorita buona sera
it is time to say goodnight to Napoli
Though it's hard for us to whisper Buona Sera
with that old moon above the Mediterranean sea
In the morning senorita we'll go walking
Where the mountains and the sea come in to sight
By the little jewlershop we stop and linger
While I buy a wedding ring for your finger
In the meantime did I tell you that I love you
Buona sera signorita kiss me goodnight
Buona sera signorita kiss me goodnight
GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE (LENNON/MCCARTNEY)
I was alone I took a ride I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Ooh and I suddenly see you Ooh did I tell you I need you
every single day of my life
You didn't run you didn't hide you knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone we knew in time we'd meet again for I had told you
Ooh and you want to be near me Ooh and I want you to hear me
say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do what can I be when I'm with you I want to stay there
If I am true I'll never leave and if I do I know the way there
Ooh and I suddenly see you Ooh did I tell you I need you
every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
IK WERK IN DE GROEVE (NIEUWE SCENE)
Ik werk in de groeve In Zwartberg in de mijn
Het is niet te geloven wat mijn verdiensten zijn
'kHeb voor een brood nog zeven frank te weinig
'kHeb voor een brood nog zeven frank te weinig
Ik kan je niet vertellen wat zweet da'k er verloor
Mijn hart is van ellende gespleten hallef door
Mijn ziel is weg ze gaat haar eigen gangen
Mijn ziel is weg ze gaat haar eigen gangen
'kVervloek de zwarte dag waarop ik mij begaf
naar dat ellendig oord maar nu heb ik mijn straf
Ter ere van de winst ben ik gebroken
Ter ere van de winst ben ik gebroken
HIER ZIT IK IN DE WEVERIJ (NIEUWE SCENE)
Hier zit ik in de weverij totdat vanavond mijne vrijer mij komt halen totdat hij mij
komt halen Hier zit ik in de weverij totdat vanavond mijne vrijer mij komt halen om mij te
brengen naar huis
Hij brengt me naar mijn huisje toe hij brengt me naar mijn bed om van zoete koek te dromen
van zoete koek te dromen
Hij brengt me naar mijn huisje toe hij brengt me naar mijn bed om van zoete koek te dromen
en om te vrijen met mij
als ik tbelletje hoor klinken ja dan kriebelt en bibbert mijn bloed als ik mij een keer
zou vergissen, als ik mij een keer zou vergissen als ik tbelletje hoor klinken ja dan
kriebelt en bibbert mijn bloed als ik mij een keer zou vergissen, dan betaal ik verdomme
een boet
och lieve jonge mannen altijd tot liefde gezind kom dan maar naar de weverij als jo''ns
wel mooi genoeg vindt Kijk maar niet naar onze kleuren daar kunnen wij niets aan doen.
'Komt door die hete ketel meneer die toch zo zeer kan doen
STALEN BOOR (NIEUWE SCENE)
Ik wil een stalen boor een boor gaan kopen
'kWil in uw kamerdeur een gaatje maken
dan kan ik u vanavond wat rond zien lopen
Met al uw kleren uit als je gaat slapen
'kBen bang dat dan je glans je felle stralen
Mijn ogen gaan verschroeien en verkolen
En laat uw deur maar open laat ze maar zwaaien
Vanavond als je klokken zullen luiden
Een bootje vol met feest, met feest banieren
brengt Venus overzee brengt ze naar hiere
Dan lachen en dan zingen al d'hemel sferen
Dan trillen alle zeeen alle meren
Gezegend is de God die je bewaarde
die alle schoonheidsgaven voor je spaarde
De bloemen aan je voeten worden verlegen
je stem bedwingt het onweer en de regen
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la santé

THIS MASQUERADE (Leon Russell)
1.Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
we're lost in a masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of weeping disappear everytime I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
2.Both afraid to say we're just too far away

ERES TU (Mocedades)
Como una promesa, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una mañana de verano.
Como una sonrisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.
Toda mi esperanza, eres tú, eres tú.
Como lluvia fresca en mis manos
como fuerte brisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.
Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente (algo así eres tú)
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú como el fuego de mi hoguera
Eres tú el trigo de mi pan.
Como mi poema, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una guitarra en la noche,
todo mi horizonte eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.
Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente (algo así eres tú)
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú como el fuego de mi hoguera
Eres tú el trigo de mi pan.
Eres tú...
Like a promise, you are, you are
Like a summer morning
Like a smile, you are, you are
Like that, like that, you are
All my hope, you are, you are
Like fresh rain in my hands
Like a strong breeze, you are, you are; like that, like that, you are
You are like the water of my fountain (something like that, you are)
You are the fire of my fireplace
You are like the fire of my bonfire
You are the wheat of my bread
Like my poem, you are, you are
Like a guitar in the night
My whole horizon you are, you are; like that, like that, you are
You are like the water of my fountain (something like that, you are)
You are the fire of my fireplace
You are like the fire of my bonfire
You are the wheat of my bread
You are...

and there´ll be no one else alive in all the world than you and me
yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh ,yeh yeh yeh yeh
Oh pretty baby ,I never
knew such a thrill
it´s hard to tell you because I´m trembling still
but pretty baby ,I want you all for my own
I´m even ready to leave those others alone
no need to ask me if everything is okay
I got my answer ,the only thing I can say I say yeh-yeh ,
and that´s what I say ,I say yeh-yeh yeh yeh
We´ll play a melody and
turn the lights down low so none can see
