performed by John Barry & His Orchestra.
The following songs did appear, in part or in full, during the film.....
KINGSTON CALYPSO
(Monty Norman)
Performed by Byron Lee and The Dragonaires
Three blind mice, in a row
Three blind mice, there they go
Marching down the street, single file
To a calypso beat, all the while
They're looking for the cat
The cat that swallowed the rat
They want to show that cat
The attitude of three blind mice
Three blind mice, here and there
Three blind mice, ev'rywhere
Searching all around, for the cat
All over Kingston Town, pit-a-pat
They got the carving knife
To cut the pussy cat's life
The puss will get that knife for triflin'
With three blind mice, so beware
Three blind mice, watch your step
Three blind mice, deadly mice
Three blind mice, where'd they go
Three blind mice, what they do
Three blind mice, oh, de mice
Three blind mice, deadly mice
JUMP UP
(Monty Norman)
Performed by Byron Lee & The Dragonaires
All the people down Kingston Town
You know all the people go Jump Up!
Waving arms about, weaving in and out
It's so easy to Jump Up!
Take a pretty girl, make her whirl
And then both begin again, Jump Up!
Hold her very tight, then for all the night
You'll be doing the Jump Up!

Listen to the band, let me take your hand
Say, "We go again! Jump Up!"
Like a ball of fire, you will never tire
When you're doing the Jump Up!
All the people down Kingston Town, you know
All the people go Jump Up!
You'll be lost to it, once you've tried a bit
Never give up the Jump Up!
Jump Up! Jump Up! Jamaica!
Jump Up! Jump Up! Jamaica!

UNDERNEATH THE MANGO TREE
(Monty Norman - Traditional)
Performed by Diana Coupland
Underneath the mango tree
Me honey and me can watch for the moon
Underneath the mango tree
Me honey and me make boolooloop soon
Underneath the moonlit sky
Me honey and I can sit hand in hand
Underneath the moonlit sky
Me honey and I can make fairyland
Mango, banana and tangerine
Sugar and ackee and cocoa bean
When we get marry, we make them grow
And nine little chil' in a row
Underneath the mango tree
Me honey and me can watch for the moon
Underneath the mango tree
Me honey and me we plan marry soon
Mango, banana and tangerine
Sugar and ackee and cocoa bean
When we get marry, we make them grow
And nine little chil' in a row
Underneath the mango tree
Me honey and me can watch for the moon
Underneath the mango tree
Me honey and me we plan marry soon
Underneath the mango tree
Underneath the mango tree
Underneath the mango tree
Underneath the mango tree

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1963)
(Music & Lyrics: Lionel Bart)
Performed by Matt Munro
>From Russia with love I fly to you
Much wiser since my goodbye to you
I've traveled the world to learn
I must return from Russia with love
I've seen places, faces, and smiled for a moment
But, oh, you haunted me so
Still my tongue tied, young pride
Would not let my love for you show
In case you'd say no
To Russia I flew, but there and then
I suddenly knew you'd care again
My running around is through
I fly to you from Russia with love
>From the dubbed French version of the film.....
BONS BAISERS DE RUSSIE
(Lionel Bart / P. Saka)
Performed by Bob Asklöf
De Russie tu es venue vers moi
Je me suis alors mé fié de toi
Je me demandais pourquoi ton cœur
Venait de si loin pour moi
Est-ce l'amour, ou bien, ou bien d'autres raisons
Qui t'ont changé d'horizon
Mais qu'importe, sans rien expliquer
Tu m'as tout donné
Et l'on s'est aimé s
Nous partons demain trè s loin d'ici
Je vais partager alors ta vie
Sans savoir vraiment pourquoi
Tu es venue de si loin pour moi
>From the dubbed German version of the film.....
DIE WOLGA IST WEIT
Performed by Ruth Berlé
Die Wolga ist weit
und du bist nah
So schnell fliegt die Zeit
das Glück ist da
Und trennen uns heut'
noch Meer und Eis
Ich weiß
die Wolga ist weit
Sind es Tage,Stunden
Mich bringen Sekunden
zu Dir
ja nä her zu Dir
Sind es Lä nder,Meilen
die Wünsche die Eilen
voraus
nach Hause zu Dir
Die Wolga ist weit
und du bist nah
So schnell fliegt die Zeit
das Glück ist da
Die Sonne führt mich
durch Zeit und Raum zu dir
Die Wolga ist weit
Sind es Lä nder,Meilen
die Wünsche die eilen
voraus
nach Hause zu Dir
Die Wolga ist weit
und du bist nah
So schnell fliegt die Zeit
das Glück ist da
Die Sonne führt mich
durch Zeit und Raum zu dir
Die Wolga ist weit

GOLDFINGER (1964)
(Music: John Barry / Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley)
Performed by Shirley Bassey
Goldfinger, he's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold!

THUNDERBALL (1965)
(Music: John Barry / Lyrics: Don Black)
Performed by Tom Jones
He always runs while others walk
He acts while other men just talk
He looks at this world and wants it all
So he strikes like Thunderball
He knows the meaning of success
His needs are more so he gives less
They call him the winner who takes all
And he strikes like Thunderball
Any woman he wants he'll get
He will break any heart without regret
His days of asking are all gone
His fight goes on and on and on
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all
So he strikes like Thunderball
Both Shirley Bassey and Dionne Warwick recorded versions of
a different song that was to be the main title song appearing
over the opening credits of this film, but it was rejected
in favour of the one above.....
MR. KISS KISS BANG BANG
(Music: John Barry / Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse)
He's tall and he's dark
And like the shark, he looks for trouble
That's why the zeros double
Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
He's suave and he's smooth
And he can soothe you like vanilla
The gentleman's a killer
Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Damoiselle's and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like the knife, he cuts through life
Like ev'ry day's the last
He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em
Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool
Damoiselle's and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like the knife, he cuts through life
Like ev'ry day's the last
He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em
Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool
No, he's no fool
He's no fool
He is no fool
Another song that was originally considered, but eventually rejected, was one from Johnny Cash.....
THUNDERBALL
(Written by John R. Cash)
Performed by Johnny Cash
There's a rumble in the sky and all the world can hear it call
They shudder at the fury of the mighty Thunderball (Thunderball)
The power of her engines now has drowned in the sea
But the deadly force from within her is somewhere running free (Running free)
Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand (Thunderball)
Somewhere there is a man who could stop the thing in time
He is known by very few, but he's feared by all in crime (All in crime)
By courage and by fighting, he has not been known to fall
But neither has the fury of the mighty Thunderball (Thunderball)
Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand (Thunderball)
Money hungry minds need a thread to launch a scheme
But those who hold the Thunderball could rule the world, it seems
Cannot the peaceful world find a clue to where she's gone
The silent sea won't answer now, but terror lingers on (Lingers on)
Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand (Thunderball)
Thunderball

CASINO ROYALE (1967)
The title music was written by Burt Bacharach and performed
by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass. A lyrical version of this
theme tune was sung over the closing credits.....
HAVE NO FEAR, BOND IS HERE
(Music: Burt Bacharach / Lyrics: Hal David)
Performed by Mike Redway
Beware, beware, there's danger in the air
Have no fear, Bond is here
He's gambling for his life at Casino Royale
There goes a spy, there's evil in his eye
Have no fear, Bond is here
Seven James Bonds at Casino Royale
They came to save the world and win a gal at Casino Royale
Six of them went to a heavenly spot
The seventh one is going to a place where it's terribly hot
The formula is safe with old double-o-seven
He's got a redhead in his arms
Oh, he's a lover, when you are in trouble
Have no fear, look who's here, James Bond
They've got us on the run
With guns and knives, we're fighting for our lives
Have no fear, Bond is here
He's gonna save the world at Casino Royale
At Casino Royale
The formula is safe with old double-o-seven
He's got a redhead in his arms
Oh, he's a lover, when you are in trouble
Have no fear, look who's here, James Bond
They've got us on the run
With guns and knives, we're fighting for our lives
Have no fear, Bond is here
He's gonna save the world at Casino Royale
James Bond is here
So have no fear
The main song heard in the film was.....
THE LOOK OF LOVE
(Music: Burt Bacharach / Lyrics: Hal David)
Performed by Dusty Springfield
The look of love is in your eyes
The look your heart can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go, don't ever go
I love you so

YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967)
(Music: John Barry / Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse)
Performed by Nancy Sinatra
You only live twice or so it seems
One life for yourself and one for your dreams
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Till one dream appears and love is its name
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice
Another song with the same title, but different lyrics,
was recorded first (January 1966) for soundtrack use,
but discarded in favour of the one above.....
YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE
(Music: John Barry / Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse)
Performed by Julie Rogers
You only live twice, no more than twice
And each life you live, you're playing with dice
The first game is love, beware, it's nice
The second is death, whose cold charms entice you
You gamble with danger, you gamble with love
Each one is a stranger in a black velvet glove
And if you should lose, you'll pay the price
Good luck with the dice, you only live twice
You gamble with danger, you gamble with love
Each one is a stranger in a black velvet glove
And if you should lose, you'll pay the price
Good luck with the dice, you only live twice

ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (1969)
There was no vocal performance to accompany the opening credits,
but the following songs were heard, in full or in part, during
the film.....
WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
(Music: John Barry / Lyrics: Hal David)
Performed by Louis Armstrong
We have all the time in the world
Time enough for life to unfold
All the precious things love has in store
We have all the love in the world
If that's all we have
You will find we need nothing more
Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love, nothing more, nothing less, only love
Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us, yes
We have all the time in the world
Just for love, nothing more, nothing less, only love
Only love!
DO YOU KNOW HOW CHRISTMAS TREES ARE GROWN?
(Music: John Barry / Lyrics: Hal David)
Performed by Nina & Children's Chrous
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
Do you know how Christmas tree are grown
They need sunshine
Sunshine can't grow Christmas trees alone
They need raindrops
Raindrops can't grow Christmas trees
Here's the reason why
In the winter rain will freeze
And the trees will die
(Do you know how Christmas tree are grown)
(They need sunshine and raindrops)
(Friendship and kindness)
(And most of all they need love)
Do you know how Santa gets around
He needs snowflakes
Snowflakes cannot do it all, I found
He needs reindeer
Reindeer, even though they try
They need other things
Once a year they have to fly
And they don't have wings
(Do you know how Santa gets around)
(He needs snowflakes and reindeer)
(Sunshine and raindrops)
(Friendship and kindness)
(And most of all he needs love)
Do you know how Christmas cards are made
They need pictures
Pictures can't complete them, I'm afraid
They need greetings
Greetings say what's in your heart
That's what they are for
But, when loved ones are apart
Christmas cards need more
(Do you know how Christmas cards are made)
(They need pictures and greetings)
(Sunshine and raindrops)
(Snowflakes and reindeer)
(Friendship and kindness)
(And most of all they need love)
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
>From the dubbed French version of the film.....
SAVEZ-VOUS CE QU'IL FAUT AU SAPIN DE NOEL?
Performed by Isabelle Aubret
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Savez-vous ce qu'il faut au sapin de Noë l
Il lui faut de la pluie et aussi du soleil
Pluie, soleil, oui mais voilà , ça ne suffit pas
La pluie, l'hiver, gè lera et l'arbre mourra
Alors savez-vous ce qu'il lui faut
Du grand soleil, de la pluie
Et puis des amis
Toujours, toujours de l'amour
Si la lettre que vous é crivez au Pè re Noë l
Pour qu'elle n'aille pas s'é garer dans le grand ciel
Dessinez le traî neau d'or, les rennes tout blancs
Mais ce n'est pas suffisant, il lui faut encore
Voulez-vous savoir ce qu'il lui faut
Pour monter haut dans l'azur
L'é lan d'un coeur pur
Deux rennes tout blancs
Un traî neau bondissant
Du soleil, de la pluie
Et puis des amis
Toujours, toujours de l'amour
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

WOVEN TRAUMT EIN WEIHNACHTSBAUM IM MAI?
(Music: John Barry / Lyrics: Kurt Hertha)
Performed by Katja Ebstein
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
Wovon trä umt ein Weihnachtsbaum im Mai
kannst du's ahnen?
Warum geht ein Tag so schnell vorbei
kannst du's ahnen?
Warum bringt der ferne Mond
Ebbe oder Flut?
Warum ist das Leid von heut'
morgen wieder gut?
Wovon trä umt ein Weihnachtsbaum im Mai?
Frag' die Sonne am Himmel
frage den Regen
Und frage dann dich allein
Warum steigen Wolken aus dem Meer,
kannst du's ahnen?
Wovon werden Regentropfen schwer
kannst du's ahnen?
Warum ist der Winter kalt
und der Sommer heiß?
Warum dreht sich uns're Welt
immer nur im Kreis?
Wovon trä umt ein Weihnachtsbaum im Mai?
Frag' die Sonne am Himmel
frage den Regen
Das sind Fragen des Lebens
Fragen der Liebe
Und die weißt du ganz allein
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la)
