1 Mas Que Nada ♪ 5:13

O aria raio
Oba oba oba
O aria raio
Oba oba oba

Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente que eu quero passar
Pois o samba está animado
O que eu que ro é sambar
Esse samba que é mixto de maraca tu
É samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu

Mas que nada
Um samba como esse tão legal
Você não vai querer
Que eu chegue no final

O aria raio
Oba oba oba
O aria raio
Oba oba oba

2 Try a Little Tenderness ♪ 7:36

She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating things she may never possess
While she's without them,

Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that's soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness

It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness

She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating things she may never possess
While she's without them

Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that's soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness

It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness

3 Your Song ♪ 6:05

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those, who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live.

If I was a sculptor, but then again no,
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song,
It's for people like you, that keep it turned on.

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

4 My Favorite Things ♪ 5:21

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things!

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and slay bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild gees that fly with the moon en their wings
These are a few of my favorite things!

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring
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!

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things!

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring
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!

I don't feel so bad!
I don't feel so bad!

I don't feel so bad!
Raindrops on roses
My favorite things!
My favorite things!
Whiskers on kittens and bright copper kettles
These are a few of my favorite things!
Favorite things!
These are my favorite things!
Bright copper kettles
These are my favorite things!
These are my favorite things!
These are my favorite things!
These are my favorite things!
These are my favorite things!
These are my favorite things!
Favorite things! (favorite things!)
Favorite things! (favorite things!)

5 She’s Leaving Home ♪ 7:39

wedn'sday morning at five o'clock 
as the day begins 
silently closing her bedroom door
leaving the note that 
she hoped would say more 
she goes down 
the stairs to the kitchen 
clutching her handkerchief
quietly turning the backdoor key
stepping outside she is free.

she 
(we gave her most of our lives)
is leaving
(sacrificed most of our lives)
home 
( we gave her ev'rything 
money could buy; bye bye)
something inside that way always denied
for so many years
she's leaving home; bye bye.

father snores as his wife 
gets info her dressing gown
picks up the letter that's lying there
standing 
alone at the top of the stairs 
she breaks down and cries to her husband 
"daddy, our baby is gone"
why would she treat us so thoughtlessly 
how 
could she do this to me?. 
she ( we never thought of ourselves)
is leaving 
( never a thought of ourselves) 
home 
( we struggled all our lives to get by; bye bye)
something inside that was 
always denied for so many years
she's 
leaving home; bye , bye.

friday morrning at 
nine clock she is far away 
waiting to keep the appointment she made
meeting a man from the motor trade. 
she (what did we do that was wrong )
is having ( we didn't know it was wrong)
fun (fun is the one thing 
that money can't buy; bye bye)
something inside that was always 
denied for so many years
she's leaving home ; bye, bye

6 Summertime ♪ 6:17

it's summertime and the livin is easy
fish are jump' and the cotton is high
yo' daddy's rich and
yo mama's good lookin'
so hush little baby, don't you cry.
one of these mornin's
you goin' to rise up singin'
then you'll spread yo' wings
an' you'll take the sky
but till that mornin'
there's a nothin' can harm you
with your daddy and mammy
standin' by

7 We Got By ♪ 6:04

I hardly had a bellyful
Never knew a new bicycle
Hand-me-down books and shoes
They brought the yule tides in July

I rode a bus, a train and sometimes
Strolling for miles to a movie show
Singing a song "Shoobedoo
"While birds and rich folks flew
right on by

But we got by
Lord knows we got by

Winter wishes wait till June
We brightened July with
that hot dog fun
Tell your mama you're with Sue
You bring the beans and I'll
find the wine
Them neon lights were bright
till 2:00
And sneaking back home with
this girl named Jo
I hurried down to say Ï do"
And stared my first man-child
in the eye

But we got by
Lord knows we got by

And now baby's got his bellyful
And finally here's that new bicycle
Working, praying, June to June
And mama's got LA gleaming
in her eye

And we got by
Lord knows we got by

You see we kept on walking
and talking, hawking
Ooing, cooing, wooing
Loving, tugging, hugging, rubbing
Sugging, fugging, laying, praying, swaying
Letting, fretting, begetting, lying
Flying, trying, sighing, dying.

(Thanks to Roberto for these lyrics)

8 Save Your Love for Me ♪ 5:54

wish i knew
why i'm so in love with you
no one else in this world will do
darling, please save your love for me
run away
if i were wise i'd run away
but like a fool in love i stay
and pray you'll save your love for me.

i can feel it
even when you're not here
can't conceal it
i really love you my dear
and though i know no good
can come from loving you

i can't do a thing,
i'm so in love with you.
so darling , help me please
have mercy on a
fool like me
i'm so unwise but still i plead
darling, please save your love
for me.

i can feel it
even when you're not here
can't conceal it
i really love you dear
and though i know no good
can come from loving you

i can't
help myself, oh what will i do.
so darling, help me please
mercy
i know i'm wrong but still i plead
that you will save your love for me
go ahead,
have fun in a crowd
but for crying out loud
darling, please save your love
for me

9 You Don’t See Me ♪ 5:26

You don't see me when I'm 
trying to do right
Maybe you can see me now

When I was walking, 
patting my feet on the pavement
Really, truly trying to find a gig
Did you stand up and speak
out in my favor?
Cold desperation, 
she's a devil in bed
Scratching till my bones are bare
Pill and needles are all I've left to savor

We were walking and 
I told you of how my shoes 
Of how my shoes were wearing thin
You took your surplus and 
traded for a favor
Now I'm demented and I'm 
burned unto a cinder
Forty hours buys a grocery 
bag for trash
I took my pistol and I made
myself a sinner
Will this universe be merciful at last?

You don't see me. 
You don't see me
I get so tired of trying to
attract your attention
It has occurred to me that 
you don't see me

You should go ahead. 
I'm a-gonna-go-ahead
I know you're going to ahead
You're going to do what 
you're going to do
I know, see, I see you, I watch you
You take the money and run

You take groceries and run, too
Don't leave nothing left for me
You're running and hiding 
and ducking and hiding
And running and hiding and
I can't find you nowhere
I'll beat your mama, 
I'll beat your daddy
I'll go to jail, 
it don't make no mothafugging
Difference what happens to me
Going to be there in my 
own time, in my own way
Cause you don't see me,
you don't see me
I'm, I'm in your mirror

10 Wait for the Magic ♪ 5:52

has found the time to write.

jump in and play your part.

11 Dinosaur ♪ 5:24

hip horray for true love that's unconditional
just your baby, no pistol by your side
nothing wrong with a love of god traditional
making bridges or shoestrings all with pride
silver and gold obsessionals
pilfering's become an art
war and deceit professionals
and it breaks my heart, or am i just.

one more late, great dinosaur.
hip hooray for the solid citizensational
hale to caesar and praise to God on high
i'm working hard but i got two weeks vacational
made me mad when melodic music died.

i've heard the forest weeping
rivers that cease to roar
gone with thy brothers keeping
and it melts my core, or am i just
one more late, great dinosaur.

i'll keep the watch the waiting
you'll help me keep the door
the witness participating
so it breaks no more, or am i just
one more late
one more great
one more late, great dinosaur

12 Go Away Little Girl ♪ 5:42

go away little girl
go away little girl
I'm not supposed to be alone with you
i know that your lips are sweet
but our lips must never meet
i belong to somebody else
and i must be true
oh go away little girl
go away little girl
it's hurting more the longer that you delay
when you are near me like this
you're much too hard to resist
go away little girl
before i beg you to stay
i know that your lips are sweet
but our lips must never meet
i belong to somebody else
and i must be true
go away little girl
go away little girl
it's hurting more the longer that you delay
when you are near me like this
you're much too hard to resist
go away little girl
before i beg you to stay
