Your highness please forgive me But something has gone amiss There is an angry woman outside To report a stolen kiss
Tell her she must go away Come around some other day I have told her, but she won't You must see her, if you don't She'll scream her head off Tell her to hush She won't be hushed Then tell her to shush I'm afraid she won't be shushed
I won't be shushed, I won't be hushed I know my rights, I know the law And I know also what I saw What did you see I saw him You saw who, I mean whom I saw that lad steal a kiss From that shameless little miss
Don't be fooled by all their shyness Their a wicked pair your highness There's a law I understand Against kissing in this land There is a law that reads like this No one is to steal a kiss
Ah but Princess I've a feeling This is not a case of stealing Silence fool, I know the law What I say I saw I saw What I saw She's on a see-saw I saw you saw he saw she saw On a see saw on a see saw I saw you saw he saw she saw
What she tells us may be true And if it is what can we do If you ask me we should listen To the lad who did the kissin'
I object t'would not be wise He would only tell you lies Let him speak, come lad this way Now then what have you to say
Please your highness, I confess When I saw such loveliness It was too much to resist I just thought she should be kissed So I kissed her, kissed her twice It was very very nice So he kissed her, kissed her twice It was very very nice
There you see, he broke the law What I say I saw I saw Please don't start all that again But he stole a kiss that's plain Yes it looks as if its true And I'll have to punish you
No please, let me say a word It is not the way you heard Please, he did not steal a kiss I gave it to him, just like this
There you see, I had a feeling This was not a case of stealing I'm not sure, its not quite plain Could I see that kiss again
You were right, I have a feeling This was not a case of stealing Right the law has been abused This lad has falsely been accused He is hers and she is his'n That old witch should go to prison
Your a very wicked woman Princess I am only human Listen to the old grand mommy Your a nasty peeping tommy
Banish her from here forever Never show your face here never Banish her from here forever Never show your face here never What I say I saw I saw I know my rights, I know the law
Come, and sit beside me here Your kiss has made things very clear Thank you Princess Don't thank me It was that kiss that set you free
Now we're through with this arrangement Let us have some entertainment Bring the dancers bring the singers Bring the good old welting ringers
The new ballerina, she pleases you She's a very good dancer She looks familiar too!
Querido New York tu vas a perdonar lo que voy a decir existe un lugar tan lejano de ti que no puedo olvidar y salgo a caminar como una sombra que va sola en el viento es mi corazón, amarrado está a un viejo puerto Perdóname New York Perdona esta canción que me hace recordar...
Veo la ciudad desde un alto balcón casi en el cielo Puedo divisar en el fondo de mí un sentimiento El que me hace volar mas allá del neón y del cemento El que me hace soñar con mi vieja ciudad de mar y cerro Perdóname New York Perdona esta canción que me hace recordar...
Querido New York mis huesos y mi voz están contigo Y mi corazón alejándose va, no está conmigo Perdóname New York Perdona esta canción que me hace recordar
Perdóname New York Perdona esta canción Que me hace recordar...

Down And Out Blues Composer(s): Sam Mayo Performer(s): Jimmy Messene; Lem Fowler
Got the blues, got the blues Ive got a lonesome down and out blues
When youre tired, lonesome Walking around the town And the rain comes uninvited in your shoes What are you going to say What are you going to do Sing the down and out blues
All you possess in this great big world Is an appetite that youre trying your best to lose What are you going to say What are you going to do Sing the down and out blues
When your dreams and schemes have gone astray And your pals and gals have left you on your own Laugh and the world laughs with you Weep and you weep alone
What can you do, where can you go to Beggars cannot choose Tired, lonesome Walking around the town Singing the down and out blues
When your dreams and schemes have gone astray And your pals and gals have left you on your own Laugh and the world laughs with you Weep and you weep alone
What can you do, where can you go to Beggars, beggars cannot choose Tired, lonesome Walking around the town Singing the down and out blues Singing the down and out blues
Carta A Mis Amigos
Composer(s): Victor Heredia
Performer(s): Victor Heredia
Hoy vuelvo a recordar la dulce adolescencia los senderos perdidos de mi pueblo pequeño Vuelvo a sentir las voces de mis viejos amigos que se han quedado lejos en un rincón del tiempo Siento en la piel el viento y el sol de los domingos cuando nos encontrábamos a la orilla del río Eran las ilusiones como globos etéreos y una aventura hermosa la de vivir la vida pero la vida es puro inmenso cielo abierto y hubo de separarnos por distintos caminos Les escribo esta carta desde un lugar cualquiera desde un pueblo cualquiera que se parece al nuestro desde un bar que podría ser nuestro bar de siempre desde un rincón del alma amigos les escribo... Porque quiero que sepan que siempre están conmigo en el cordaje tosco de mi pobre guitarra cabalgando en el viento de una ciudad cualquiera que siempre están conmigo mis amigos...

The Door Is Always Open Composer(s): Bob McDill - Dickey Lee Performer(s): Waylon Jennings and multiple other artists
Saw your picture in the paper and I see you married good And I know that he can give you all the things I never could But I know that he can't give you what you need most of all So the door is always open, and the lights on in the hall
Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall And you know that I'll be waiting, if you ever come to call
When night falls on that mansion and you're lying in his bed When he begs you for attention, will you think of me instead When he reaches out to touch you, is your face turned to the wall Well the door is always open, and the lights on in the hall
Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall And you know that I'll be waiting, if you ever come to call
Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall And you know that I'll be waiting, if you ever come to call
Cars Are Cars
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Similarly made
Similarly sold
In a motorcade
Abandoned when they're old
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Engine in the front
Jack in the back
Wheels take the brunt
Pinion and a rack
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
But people are strangers
They change with the curve
From time zone to time zone
As we can observe
They shut down their borders
And think they're immune
They stand on their differences
And shoot at the moon
But cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Drive 'em on the left
Drive 'em on the right
Susceptible to theft in the middle of the night
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
I once had a car
That was more like a home
I lived in it, loved in it
Polished its chrome
If some of my homes
Had been more like my car
I probably wouldn't have
Travelled this far
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world

The Door Into Summer Composer(s): William E. Martin - Douglas Farthing Hatlelid First release by: The Monkees - 1967
With his fool's gold stacked up all around him From a killing in the market on the war The children left King Midas there, as they found him In his counting house where nothing counts but more
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band And the laughter from a distant caravan And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand Fading through the door into summer
Well, it's travel onto "maybe next year" 's places As a trade-in for a name upon the door And he pays for every year he cannot buy back with his tears As he finds out there's been no one keeping score
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band And the laughter from a distant caravan And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand Fading through the door into summer
Allez, Viens On Danse ((Dutch Version: De Clown (Ben Cramer) - 1989)) Composer(s): Georges Chatelain First release by: Pascal Danel - 1968
