If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that is best
Get your kicks on Route 66

It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Now you go though St. Louie
Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty
You see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
when you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66

Les feuilles mortes

Yves Montand
(13 octobre, 1921 - 9 novembre, 1991)
Oh, je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux où nous étions amis
En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Et le vent du nord les emporte
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
La chanson que tu me chantais...

Nana Mouskouri (2001) - Scarborough Fair


Scarborough Fair/Canticle
(Trad. Arr. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel)

Nana Mouskouri (2001)

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Tell him i'll make him a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Take him to find us an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Between salt water and the sea strands
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Shine On Harvest Moon (1908)
Words: Jack Norworth
Music: Nora Bayes Norworth

Vocals: The New Vaudeville Band (1967)


The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
For the moon refused to shine
Couple sitting underneath the willow tree
For love, they pined

Little maid was kinda 'fraid of darkness
So she said, "I guess I'll go."
Boy began to sigh, looked up at the sky
Told the moon his little tale of woe

"Shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky
I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June, or July
Snow time, ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon for me and my gal."

[Interlude]

"Oh, shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky
I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June, or July
Snow time, ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon for me and my gal."

One More Time Around the Garden


One More Walk Around the Garden
(Carmelina, The Musical, 1979)

Music: Burton Lane
Words: Alan Jay Lerner

That old April yearning
Once more is returning
And I have a longing to wander

The leaves may be falling
But April is calling
And the primroses is beckoned me yonder

For one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more

For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate

That old urge is saying
It's time to go straying
Where no one but April can find me

To try and recover
The heart of a lover
That I left lying somewhere behind me

Just one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more

For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate

One more rose before I close the garden gate
