We're three caballeros
Three gay caballeros
They say we are birds of a feather

The one, two, and three goes
We're always together

We're three happy chappies
With snappy serapes
You'll find us beneath our sombreros
We're brave and we'll say so
We're bright as a peso
Who says so? We say so!
The three caballeros

Ohhhh!
We have the stars to guide us
Guitars here beside us
To play as we go
We sing and we samba
We shout 'aye caramba'!
What means aye caramba?
Oh yes, I don't know

Ohhhh!
Through fair or stormy weather
We stand close together
Like books on the shelf
And pals though we may be
When some latin baby
Says yes, no, or maybe
Each man is for himself!

Ohhhh!
We have the stars to guide us
Guitars here beside us
To play as we go
We sing and we samba
We shout 'aye caramba'!
What means aye caramba?
Oh yes, it means, I don't know

The Three B's
Composer(s): Hugh Martin - Ralph Blane
Performer(s): June Allyson, Victoria Schools & Nancy Walker
and multiple other artists



Gloria:
I never wanna hear Johann Sebastian Bach

June:
And I don't wanna listen to Ludwig Beethoven

Nancy:
And I don't give a hoot for ol' Johannes Brahms

All:
The B's we want are these, the B's we want are these

June:
They're the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie

Gloria:
And the blues

All:
Yes, the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues!

June:
Oh, the barrelhouse makes you want to carouse

Nancy:
Every boogie beat will raise your heat

Gloria:
When they start to play the blues

All:
You'll never choose to lose the blues

Gloria:
Oh, the blues will really get you

June:
And the barrelhouse is bound to upset you

Nancy:
And the boogie-woogie beat will drive you straight to distraction
Hey, let's go professor, get a solid reaction!
From a barrelhouse, the boog-boog-boog-boog boogie and the blues

All:
Yes, the barrelhouse, yeah, the boogie-woogie and the blues

All:
When a Dixieland band gets up on the stand
You'll hear the trombones slide and start to ride
So make 'em play those dirty
Dirty hurdy-gurdy barrelhouse, boogie and blues
The barrelhouse, boogie and blues
The barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues
We're up a tree now, we don't know which to choose
The barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie or the blues

Nancy:
I love the boogie 'cos it tickles my spine
I love the boogie 'cos it's fresh and it's fine
Just like a cigarette with modern design
That's why I love the boogie-woogie (Yes! Yes!)
It seems to knock the wind right out of my chest
It's so darn good it makes a fool of the rest
Just goes to show you that the boogie's the best
That's why I love the boogie-woogie (Yes! Yes!)
It's right as rain, low as a thunder
Light as a cloud, sweet as a cake
It's got a kick like mountain liquor
And it's as slick and hard to take as Veronica Lake
It picks you up and then knocks you right down
It makes you laugh and play and act like a clown
No other music has the right to the crown
'Cos there's nothing that will raise your heat
Like the boogie-woogie beat

June:
Don't mean the barrelhouse

Nancy:
Like the boogie-woogie beat

Gloria:
Don't mean the blues

Nancy:
I love the boogie-woogie beat!

Gloria:
I love the boogie too, but not when I'm feeling blue
I get the blues in the mornin', the blues at night
I even get the blues when I'm feelin' all right
'Cos it sounds so good and it feels so good
And it is so good, my best jazz music there is

June:
I love the blues as well, but not when I'm feeling swell
When I'm feeling kind of chummy and I wanna join the scrummy
I go barrelhouse, barrelhouse
The atmosphere is squalid, but the band is really solid
They play barrelhouse, barrelhouse, they really go to town
The beat is steady as a rock there
They play till five or six o'clock there
You'll be mighty glad you found 'em
It's great to be around 'em
Oh they sock it, beat it, kill it
The barrelhouse will make you hot on jazz

All:
It's the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues
That's the barrelhouse, the boogie-woogie and the blues
Talkin' about those three B's
Talkin' about those three B's
Talkin' about those three B's
One, two, three B's
One, two, one-two-three B's

The Thousandth And Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole
Composer(s): Don Van Vliet
Performer(s): Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band



The thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole
The morning was distemper grey
Of the thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole
The man at the bottom was smiling
He had just finished his breakfast smiling
It hadn't rained or manured for over two hours
The man at the top was starving
The pole was a horrible looking thing
With all of those eyes and ears
And waving hands for balance
There was no way to get a copter in close
So everybody was starving together
The man at the top had long ago given up
But didn't have nerve enough to climb down
At night the pole would talk to itself and the chatter wasn't too good
Obviously the pole didn't like itself, it wanted to walk!
It was the summer and it was hot
And balance wouldn't permit skinning to undergarments
It was an integrated pole, it was taking on an reddish brown cast
Exercise on the pole was isometric
Kind of a flex and then balance
Then the highest would roll together
The ears wiggle, hands balance
There was a gurgling and googling heard
A tenth of the way up the pole
Approaching was a small child
With Statue of Liberty doll

There is a river called The River Of No Return
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on The River Of No Return
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea

Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call come to me (no return, no return)
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever down The River Of No Return
Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee
She'll/He'll never return to me! (no return, no return, no return)

Performer(s): Arthur Godfrey
and multiple other artists



(Row, row, row your boat, up the river St. Lawrence)
(Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering) Hollering for Florence (Row your boat)
I left the one I love on one of the Thousand Islands (Row, row your boat)
But unfortunately I can't remember which one
So I row, row, row, row up the river St. Lawrence
And I'm hollerin' Florence, oh! where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)

I wouldn't be so lost up here on the Thousand Islands (Row, row, your boat)
If we only had met down on the Isle of Capri
Now I just can't find the place you marked on the post card
Call the Navy and Coast Guard
Oh! where, where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)

Mustn't take a nap, gotta watch the map
That was Island seven-ninety-three
Row from shore to shore, knock on every door
How many Thousand Islands can there be?

I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat up the River St. Lawrence
Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering for Florence)

I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat) Hey Florence (Row, row your boat)
Hey Florence! Hey Florence! Hey Florence!
Hey Flowie! You're harder to find than Chloe!

The Thoughts Of Mary Jane
Composer(s): Nick Drake
First release by: Nick Drake - 1969



Who can know
The thoughts of Mary Jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars

Who can know
The reasons for her smile
What are her dreams
When they've journeyed for a mile
The way she sings
And her brightly coloured rings
Make her the princess of the sky

Who can know
What happens in her mind
Did she come from a strange world
And leave her mind behind
Her long lost sighs
And her brightly coloured eyes
Tell her story to the wind

Who can know
The thoughts of Mary Jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars

To turn the lights down low, so baby, baby

River Of Love
Composer(s): Otha Young; Juice Newton
Performer(s): Juice Newton



Listen to the story 'bout the man who tried
To drink from the river 'til the river ran dry
He drank so long and he drank so hard
The river ran dry and it broke his heart

River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love never runs to me

Many are the times that he called his love
Called her to his side 'til he had enough
Then came a wind to blow her away
Never did he drink from the river that day

River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love never runs to me

Pricked by a thorn and heart will bleed
Red as a rose for the world to see
Chained by time to the river side
A fool will drink 'till the river runs dry

River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love (never runs)
River of love, river of love
Drink from the river, fly like a dove
The river runs long, the river runs free
But the river of love never runs to me

The Third Man
Composer(s): Anton Karas - Walter Lord
First performance by: Anton Karas - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists



When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In its haunting strain
Vienna lives again
Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a half forgotten dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear The Third Man Theme

Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past
Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting Third Man Theme?

Carnivals and carousels and ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine
The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain
Like new May wine
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today

You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why
It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush
A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear The Third Man Theme

When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In its haunting strain
Vienna lives again
Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden gleam
Of a well remembered dream
Seems to glimmer when you hear The Third Man Theme

Once again there comes to mind
Someone that you left behind
Love that somehow didn't last
In that happy city of the past
Does she still recall the dream
That rapture so supreme
When first she heard the haunting Third Man Theme?

Carnivals and carousels and ferris wheels and parasols
The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine
The zither's sweet refrain
Keeps swirling in your brain
Like new May wine
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
And the laughter of long ago
Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today

You never knew that you could be
Enchanted by a melody
The years will never drive it out
You don't know why
It's something you can't live without
You hear it in the twilight hush
And in the morning traffic rush
A song that's always new
In your heart a part of you
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear The Third Man Theme

Jeder Tag da schlaegt einmal die Stunde, dann lass die Probleme und denk nicht daran
Jeder Tag hat als schoenes den Abend und Glueck wartet neben an
Holl mich ab und dann gehen wir
Nochmal, ja, wir beide gehen in das Tanz Lokal
Da liegt was in der Luft so wunderbar
Bei dem ersten Blick ist alles klar
Und ich sage Dir, come on my boy die Musik ist schoen und die Liebe ist gerade hier
Come on my boy und tanz mit mir

Gibt es fuer uns Heute Sekt oder Kohle?
Daran liegt fuer uns nicht das Glueck der Welt
Ja, dass ist fuer uns einerlei
Hier ist der Beat der uns gefaellt
Du brauchst keinen feinen Frack, wie ein reicher Mann mit einem Cadillac
Du musst nur bei mir sein und treu mir sein
Dann kommt das Glueck von ganz allein
Und ich sag Dir, come on my boy die Musik ist schoen und die Liebe music ist gerade hier
Come on my boy und tanz mit mir
Yeah! Yeah!
