MON AMOUR - LYRICS
Performed by Benoit Viellefon & His Hot Club
Words and music by Benoit Viellefon
-----------------------------------------------------
Mon amour, je t’aimerais toujours,
Tant que tu seras belle,
Il me poussera des ailes.
Ma chérie, toi et moi pour la vie,
Tant que tu seras jolie,
Tu me feras envie.
Et si un jour tu deviens grosse
C’est parce qu’on aura fait des gosses ;
Mais pour moi tu seras la même,
Et tous les jours je dirais « Je t’aime »
Mon amoureuse, tu ne sais pas cuisiner,
Mais t’es si bien roulée,
Je veux bien me marier !
Mon amour, je t’aimerais toujours,
Tant que tu auras de cheveux
Je te dirais « je veux »
Mon lapin, demande-moi ma main,
Un diamant ca fait bien,
Mais n’attends pas demain
Et si un jour tu deviens gras,
Il faudra que je trouve un autre gars,
Un qui n’a pas besoin de bretelles,
Et qui me dit que je suis belle !
Mon amoureux, t’es pas une bête au pieux
Mais je ne ferais pas la gueule,
Je ne serais pas bégueule,
Et même si on s’engueule,
Ca vaut mieux que d’être seul.

CARAVAN - LYRICS
-----------------------
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our Caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sands so I may keep
The memory of our Caravan
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert Caravan
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our Caravan
That shines upon our Caravan
Oooh

MORE MONEY - LYRICS
Performed by Benoit Viellefon & His Hot Club
Words and Lyrics Benoit Viellefon
---------------------------------------
Everyday in the world man suffers
Everyday in every home man cries
He goes out to work and comes home in pain
trying to get love
Trying to get love… in vain
Everyday at home a tragedy unfold
Man brings home money and woman stay cold
She’s smoking all day in her pink pyjama
No make up no bra
She governs from the sofa:
Chorus:
More money more money
She wants him to bring home more money
So she can get herself a big house
More money more money
She wants him to bring home some more dosh
So she can buy clothes to look more Posh
More money more money
She wants him to bring thousands of quids
So she can have another two kids
More money more money
She wants him to bring her more money
Before she can love him as a wife
Verse:
Hiding all his tear the man quietly suffers
He’s blaming his miss and why does he loves her
He’ll have to take action and with conviction
Trying to tame her
Trying to tame her… in vain
He takes his credit card to get the latest car
He’s drinking all his sorrows in the local bars
He knows he’ll get grilled as soon as they get billed
Pilling up some debt
He’ll have to repay … in vain

AFTER YOU'VE GONE - LYRICS
Performed by Benoit Viellefon & His Hot Club
Music: Turner Layton
Lyrics by Henry Creamer.
----------------------------------------------------
Now won't you listen dearie while I say,
how could you tell me that you're goin' away?
Don't say that we must part,
don't break my aching heart
You know I've loved you truly many years, loved you night and day
How can you leave me, can't you see my tears?
Listen while I say
After you've gone, and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time, when you'll regret it
Some day, when you grow lonely
You heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
After I'm gone, after we break up
After I'm gone, you're gonna wake up
You will find, you were blind
To let somebody come and change your mind
After the years, we've been together
Their joy and tears all kinds of weather
Someday, blue and downhearted
You'll long to be with me right back where you started
After I'm gone, after I'm gone away

WHISPERING - LYRICS
Performed by Benoit Viellefon & His Orchestra
Music: Vincent Rose
Lyrics: John Schonberger, Richard Coburn
-------------------------------------
Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so no one can hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it’s true,
There is no one dear but you
Whispering why you’ll never leave me
Whispering why you’ll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
Whispering that I love you

Performed by Benoit Viellefon & His Hot Club
Music by Gerald Marks
Words by Seymour Simons
----------------------------------------------------
All of me, why not take all of me?
Baby, can't you see, I'm no good without you?
Take my lips, I'll never use them
Take my arms, I want to lose them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
Tell me how can I go on, dear, without you?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?

IT DON'T MEAN A THING (if it ain't got that swing) - LYRICS
Performed by Benoit Viellefon & His Hot Club
Music: Duke Ellington
Lyrics: Irving Mills.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What good is melody?
What good is music?
If it ain't possessing something sweet
Now it ain't the melody
And it ain't the music
Theres something else that makes this tune complete, YES
It dont mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Well it dont mean a thing all you got to do is sing
It makes no difference if its sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm ev-ry-thing you got YES
It dont mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
It dont mean a thing
It dont mean a thing if it ain't got that swing boy
(Ba ba doo dah doo)
I said it dont mean a thing and all you got to do is sing
(La la la)
Now it makes no difference if its sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm ev-ry-thing you got OHH
It dont mean a thing boy, if it ain't got-a-that-a-swinga
(Ba boo ba doo)

MY DOG IS A GYPSY - LYRICS
Performed by Benoit Viellefon & His Hot Club
Words and music: Benoit Viellefon
----------------------------------------------------
My dog is a gypsy
He’s always tipsy
My dog is a manouche,
And he smells rather louche
I don’t know where he’s going
But I know where he’s fouling
My dog is a gypsy
And he wont listen to me
My dog is a gypsy
He’s always so hungry
He digs through the garbage
Eats what he can salvage
I don’t know where he’s gone
But I hear what he’s done
My dog is a gypsy
And he won’t listen to me.
My dog is a gypsy
He’s not really pretty
My dog is not farouche,
But he smells rather louche
I don’t know where he’s going
But I know where he’s licking
My dog is a gypsy
And he won’t listen to me
My dog is a gypsy
He’s always so horny
My dog is a real stud
Always covered in mud
I don’t know where he’s gone
But I hear what he’s done
My dog is a gypsy
And he won’t listen to me.
