1.Beautiful Land
Anthony newley, leslie bricusse
Red is the color of a lot of lollipops,
Orange is any orange on a tree.
Yellow's the color of a bag of lemon drops,
Green is a piece of seaweed in the sea.
Blue is the color of the sky in summertime
Indigo is a siamese cat's eyes.
Violet's the color of a flow'r in wintertime.
These are the colors of the rainbow skies.
There is a beautiful land
Where all your dreams come true;
It's all tied up in a rainbow,
All shiny and new;
But it's not easy to find
No matter what you do.
It's not on top of a mountain
Or beneath the deep blue sea
Or in london zoo or in timbuktoo,
Or in timbuckthree.
And if you travelled the world
From china to peru,
There's no beautiful land on the chart.
An explorer could not begin
To discover its origin
For the beautiful land is in your heart.
2.Blues On Purpose
3.Don't Smoke In Bed
Willard robison
I left a note on his dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can i sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like i said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring
Don't look for me
I'll get a hand
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
Don't look for me
I'll get a hand
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
4.Feeling Good
Anthony newley, leslie bricusse
Birds flying high you know how i feel
Sun in the sky you know how i feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how i feel
(refrain：)
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And i'm feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how i feel
River running free you know how i feel
Blossom in the tree you know how i feel
(refrain)
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what i mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what i mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what i mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how i feel
Scent of the pine you know how i feel
Oh freedom is mine
And i know how i feel
5.Gimme Some
6.Go Limp
Alex comfort, nina simone
Oh daughter, dear daughter,
Take warning from me
And don't you go marching
With the n-a-a-c-p.
For they'll rock you and roll you
And shove you into bed.
And if they steal your nuclear secret
You'll wish you were dead.
(refrain：)
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay.
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay.
Oh mother, dear mother,
No, i'm not afraid.
For i'll go on that march
And i'll return a virgin maid.
With a brick in my handbag
And a smile on my face
And barbed wire in my underwear
To shed off disgrace.
(refrain)
One day they were marching.
A young man came by
With a beard on his cheek
And a gleam in his eye.
And before she had time
To remember her brick...
They were holding a sit-down
On a nearby hay rig.
(refrain)
For meeting is pleasure
And parting is pain.
And if i have a great concert
Maybe i won't have to sing those folk songs again.
Oh mother, dear mother
I'm stiff and i'm sore
From sleeping three nights
On a hard classroom floor.
(refrain)
One day at the briefing
She'd heard a man say,
'go perfectly limp,
And be carried away.'
So when this young man suggested
It was time she was kissed,
She remembered her brief
And did not resist.
(refrain)
Oh mother, dear mother,
No need for distress,
For the young man has left me
His name and address.
And if we win
Tho' a baby there be,
He won't have to march
Like his da-da and me.
7.I Loves You Porgy
(1935) ira gershwin, dubose heyward, george gershwin
I loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
And i'll be glad
Yes i loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can keep me
I wants to stay here with you forever
I've got my man

Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me

Someday i know he's coming to call me
He's going to handle me and hold me
So, it' going to be like dying, porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes i know i'll have to go
I loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Honey, don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man
8.I Put A Spell On You
(1949) screamin' jay hawkins, slotkin
I put a spell on you
'cause you're mine
You better stop the things you do

10.Marriage Is For Old Folks
Mort shuman, leon carr
I love dancing
Crazy romancing
Fellas advancing constantly
Marriage is for old folks
Old folks, not for me!
One husband
One wife
Whaddya got？
Two people sentenced for life!
I love singing
Good healthy clinging
Quietly bringing on a spree
Marriage is for old folks
Cold folks!
One married he
One married she
Whaddya got？
Two people watchin' tv!
I'm not ready
To quit bein' free
And i'm not willing
To stop being me
I've gotta sing my song
Why should i belong
To some guy who says
That i'm wrong？
Doo doo dooo
De doo de doo
De-doo de-doo
Doo doo doo
Dooo
Cookin' dinner
Lookin' no thinner
Gray elbows and
A sudsy sea
Marriage is for old folks
Cold folks,
And it's not for me!
One husband
One wife
Whaddya got？
Two people sentenced for life!
I'm exploding
With youth and with zest
Who needs corroding
In some vulture's nest？
I've gotta fly my wings
Go places, do things
My freedom bell's really
Gonna ring!
Doo doo dooo....(etc.)
I've been through years
Too many blue years
Now i want new year's every eve
Marriage is for old folks
Marriage is for cold folks
One husband
One wife
Whaddya got？
Two people sentenced for life
Marriage is for old folks
Marriage is for cold folks
Not for me
Can't you see
Marriage ain't for me
11.Mississippi Goddam
(1963) nina simone
The name of this tune is mississippi goddam
And i mean every word of it
Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about mississippi goddam
Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about mississippi goddam
Can't you see it
Can't you feel it
It's all in the air
I can't stand the pressure much longer
Somebody say a prayer
Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about mississippi goddam
This is a show tune
But the show hasn't been written for it, yet
Hound dogs on my trail
School children sitting in jail
Black cat cross my path
I think every day's gonna be my last
Lord have mercy on this land of mine
We all gonna get it in due time
I don't belong here
I don't belong there
I've even stopped believing in prayer
Don't tell me
I tell you
Me and my people just about due
I've been there so i know
They keep on saying 'go slow!'
But that's just the trouble
'do it slow'
Washing the windows
'do it slow'
Picking the cotton
'do it slow'
You're just plain rotten
'do it slow'
You're too damn lazy
'do it slow'
The thinking's crazy
'do it slow'
Where am i going
What am i doing
I don't know
I don't know
Just try to do your very best
Stand up be counted with all the rest
For everybody knows about mississippi goddam
I made you thought i was kiddin' didn't we
Picket lines
School boy cots
They try to say it's a communist plot
All i want is equality
For my sister my brother my people and me
Yes you lied to me all these years
You told me to wash and clean my ears
And talk real fine just like a lady
And you'd stop calling me sister sadie
Oh but this whole country is full of lies
You're all gonna die and die like flies
I don't trust you any more
You keep on saying 'go slow!'
'go slow!'
But that's just the trouble
'do it slow'
Desegregation
'do it slow'
Mass participation
'do it slow'
Reunification
'do it slow'
Do things gradually
'do it slow'
But bring more tragedy
'do it slow'
Why don't you see it
Why don't you feel it
I don't know
I don't know
You don't have to live next to me
Just give me my equality
Everybody knows about mississippi
Everybody knows about alabama
Everybody knows about mississippi goddam
That's it!
12.Ne Me Quitte Pas
Jacques brel
Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit d？Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Oþ il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'apr ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumie
Je ferai un domaine
Oþ l'amour sera roi
Oþ l'amour sera loi
Oþ tu seras reine
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Je t'inventerai
Des mots insens
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-l？Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs coeurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
De l'ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est para§t-il
Des terres bruls
Donnant plus de bl？Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'ousent-ils pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai l？A te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et ？t'outer
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

It's all over
It's all over now.
14.One September Day
15.Pirate Jenny
(1928) bertolt brecht, kurt weill
You people can watch while i'm scrubbing these floors
And i'm scrubbin' the floors while you're gawking
Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell
In this crummy southern town
In this crummy old hotel
But you'll never guess to who you're talkin'.
No. you couldn't ever guess to who you're talkin'.
Then one night there's a scream in the night
And you'll wonder who could that have been
And you see me kinda grinnin' while i'm scrubbin'
And you say, 'what's she got to grin？'
I'll tell you.
There's a ship
The black freighter
With a skull on its masthead
Will be coming in
You gentlemen can say, 'hey gal, finish them floors!
Get upstairs! what's wrong with you! earn your keep here!
You toss me your tips
And look out to the ships
But i'm counting your heads
As i'm making the beds
Cuz there's nobody gonna sleep here, honey
Nobody
Nobody!
Then one night there's a scream in the night
And you say, 'who's that kicking up a row？'
And ya see me kinda starin' out the winda
And you say, 'what's she got to stare at now？'
I'll tell ya.
There's a ship
The black freighter
Turns around in the harbor
Shootin' guns from her bow
Now
You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face
Cause every building in town is a flat one
This whole frickin' place will be down to the ground
Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound
And you yell, 'why do they spare that one？'
Yes.
That's what you say.
'why do they spare that one？'
All the night through, through the noise and to-do
You wonder who is that person that lives up there？
And you see me stepping out in the morning
Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair
And the ship
The black freighter
Runs a flag up its masthead
And a cheer rings the air
By noontime the dock
Is a-swarmin' with men
Comin' out from the ghostly freighter
They move in the shadows
Where no one can see
And they're chainin' up people
And they're bringin' em to me
Askin' me,
'kill them now, or later？'
Askin' me!
'kill them now, or later？'
Noon by the clock
And so still by the dock
You can hear a foghorn miles away
And in that quiet of death
I'll say, 'right now.
Right now!'
Then they'll pile up the bodies
And i'll say,
'that'll learn ya!'
And the ship
The black freighter
Disappears out to sea
And
On
It
Is
Me
16.Plain Gold Ring
Earl s. burroughs
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone, but not me
On his hand was a plain gold band
Plain gold ring has a story to tell
It was one that i knew too well
In my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears a plain gold ring
Oh, oh
When nighttime comes a' callin' on me
I know why i will never be free
I can't stop these teardrops of mine
I'm gonna love him till the end of time
Plain gold ring has but one thing to say
I'll remember till my dying day
In my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears a plain gold ring
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
17.Take Care Of Business
(1965) andy stroud
Don't talk just hold me closer
Let me sit on top of your knee
Go ahead and take care of business
For me for me for me
Oh lord, don't keep me waiting
Be as firm as can be
Go ahead and take care of business
For me for me for me
In all my life no-one has touched me so close
Nor made me feel so sweet
I said to you you are god's gift to all womanhood
Take it from me take it from me
You know you know that i love you truly
And i want the whole round world to see
How you can take care of business
For me for me for me
Go take care of business for me
Yeah yeah go take care of business for me
18.Tomorrow Is My Turn
19.You've Got To Learn
Charles aznavour, m. stellman
Original french lyric
Il faut savoir encore sourire
Quand le meilleur s'est retir？Et qu'il ne rest que le pire
Dans une vie bþte a pleurer
Il faut savoir cote que cote
Garder toute sa dignit？Et malgr？ce qu'il nous en cote
S'en aller sans se retourner
Face au destin qui nous darme
Et devant le bonheur perdu
Il faut savoir cacher ses larmes
Mais moi mon coeur je n'ai pas su
Il faur savoir quitter la table
Lorsque l'amour est desservi
Sans s'accrocher l'air pitoyable
Mais partir sans faire de bruit
Il faur savoir cacher sa peine
Sous le masque de tous le jours
Et retenir le cris de haine
Qui sont le derniers motes d'amour
Il faut savoir rester de glace
Et taire un coeur qui meurt d？Il faut savoir garder la face
Mais moi je t'aime trop
Mais moi je ne peux pas
Il faut savoir mais moi
Je ne sais pas
