The Lady's In Love With You Composer(s): Frank Loesser - Burton Lane Performer(s): Mel Tormé
Hello there Texas what you say I'd like to bend your ear if you're going my way Okay Glenn what's worrying you Tell me the story & I'll see what I can do Well, I got a new gal that's a real killer diller But I'm not so sure that she goes with Mr. Miller Hm, that's nothing to worry about Man don't you know how to go about finding out No, you tell me, Texas
If there's a gleam in her eye Each time she straightens your tie You'll know the lady's in love with you If she can dress for a date Without that waitin' you hate It means the lady's in love with you And when your friends ask you over to join their table But she begs a far-away booth for two Well, sir, here's just how it stands You've got romance on your hands Because the lady's in love with you
Seh' ich drei Schornsteinfeger, sagst Du, das bringt mir Glück Trotzdem geh' ich dann ungeküsst ganz allein nach Haus zurück
My Darlin', Du alleine bringst mir Glück Uhuhu, Du nur allein Sei doch mein Talisman, Du weißt genau, der kann Ganz nah, ganz nah, bei mir, bei mir stets sein
Du schenktest mir ein Kleeblatt, da war'n vier Blätter dran Woran liegt es, dass für mich damit nicht das große Glück begann?
My Darlin', Du alleine bringst mir Glück Uhuhu, Du nur allein Sei doch mein Talisman, Du weißt genau, der kann Ganz nah, ganz nah, bei mir, bei mir stets sein
Wir schauten in den Himmel, da fiel ein Stern herab Das war der Grund, dass auf Deinen Mund ich den ersten Kuss Dir gab
My Darlin', Du alleine bringst mir Glück Uhuhu, Du nur allein Sei doch mein Talisman, Du weißt genau, der kann Ganz nah, ganz nah, bei mir, bei mir stets sein
Spaniard At My Door Performer(s): Shadows Of Night
On a hot winter's morn My old Aunt was born As a sister watched from the floor I said you're too late you'll have to go straight And you'll have to work years in the store I cannot see straight-Because of my mate And I think you look quite like a queen I haven't much time I live with the crime And I look like a bad Mr. Clean
Now There's A Spaniard At My Door And He's Sleeping On The Floor
I'll be married today A good price to Pay For I'll alway's sleep in a bed Kind and Refined She worked in a mine But nothing but a used metal sled Up north it's cold and my coat I sold To buy me a good bowl of rice While frostbite set in I sang Gunga Din And went off to live with the mice
Now There's A Spaniard At My Door And He's Sleeping On The Floor
Only yule time will tell if you live in a bell And the ringing hasn't begun As you crawl to the edge It's just like I said And you're eyes still point at the sun Over there on that farm I lost my left arm When I promised to work for my life I stumbled a while But soon found a style And finally earned a good wife
Now There's A Spaniard At My Door And He's Sleeping On The Floor
Now I'm tired and old Afraid of the cold No years have I ever had plenty Well it's over and blue I'm finally through I'm dead at the sweet age of twenty
Now There's A Spaniard At My Door And He's Sleeping On The Floor

L'orologio batte l'una tu sei fuori chissà dove giro nudo per la casa dimmi tu se questa è vita tu che esci con le amiche, dici io che resto qui a pensare, ore se poi è vero per davvero o ti vedi con qualcuno!
Guardo un pò televisione c'è del pollo dentro al frigo mangio e provo a immaginare le tue mosse le parole è che sono un pò geloso, scemo ma ti amo per davvero, davvero si va be' l'autonomia ma ricorda che sei mia
Banane, lampone, chi c'era con te Chi c'era stasera! Io sono il tuo amore sei solo per me!
Apro un libro d'avventure è una nuova distrazione poi vorrei telefonare mi vorrei un pò sfogare è che sono assai nervoso, nervoso son le due tu sei lontana, lontana quasi quasi, cado in piedi vado a casa di...Maria
Ho sentito l'ascensore gira chiave nel portone faccio finta di dormire e tu invece vuoi parlare sono stata a chiacchierare, ore ogni tanto sai ci vuole, ci vuole hanno tutte dei problemi per fortuna io ho te...amore!!!

Lady Of The Dancing Water Composer(s): Peter Sinfield - Robert Fripp Performer(s): King Crimson
Grass in your hair stretched like a lion in the sun Restlessly turned moistened your mouth with your tongue Pouring my wine your eyes caged mine glowing Touching your face my finger strayed knowing I called you lady of the dancing water
Blown autumn leaves shed to the fire where you laid me Burn slow to ash just as my days now seem to be I feel you still always your eyes glowing Remembered hours salt, earth and flowers flowing Farewell my lady of the dancing water
Banana Song
Composer(s): Alex Hughes - Lemon

It's big and heavy but me carry the banana All the way to the sister's house She like to bite it but she like a piranha I want some left when I have to go home
Day-o, day-o Morning come and me have to go home Day-o, day-o This woman, she won't leave me alone
1 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch, 4 She like banana and me give her more 5 inch, 6 inch, 7 inch, 8! I want to rest but she just won't wait
Day-o, day-o Morning come and me have to go home Day-o, day-o This woman, she won't leave me alone
She cry for more banana but the banana's gone She wake it up and she jump right on I give her more banana 'till she shout and scream What good banana if you have no cream!
Day-o, day-o Morning come and me have to go home Day-o, day-o This woman, she won't leave me alone
The morning come and me take home the banana The Mrs. says, "Did you work all night?" I say "yes" but she know I managed lying She see the mark where the sister bite!
Day-o, day-o The woman see it now she willn't let me go Day-o, day-o This naughty woman she willn't leave me alone

Lady of Spain I adore you Right from the night I first saw you My heart has been yearning for you What else could any heart do Lady of Spain I'm appealing Why should my lips be concealing All that my eyes are revealing Lady of Spain, I love you Night in Madrid, blue and tender Spanish moon makes silver splendour Music throbbing plaintive sobbing notes of a guitar While ardent Caballero serenades Lady of Spain I adore you Right from the night I first saw you My heart has been yearning for you What else could any heart do Lady of Spain I'm appealing Why should my lips be concealing All that my eyes are revealing Lady of Spain, I love you
Banana Republics
Composer(s): Steve Burgh - Steve Goodman - Jim Rothermel
Performer(s): Steve Goodman; Jimmy Buffett
Down to the banana republics
Down to the tropical sun
Come the expatriated Americans
Hoping to have some fun
Some of them come for the sailing
Called by the lure of the sea
Trying to cure what is ailing
From living in the land of the free
Some of them them running from lovers
Leaving no forward address
Some of them are running marijuana
Some are running from the IRS
Late at night you can find them
In the cheap hotels and bars
Hustling the senoritas while they dance beneath the stars
Spending their renegade pesos
On a bottle of rum and a lime
Singing "Give me some words we can dance to
Or a melody that rhymes"
First you learn the native customs
Then a word of Spanish or two
You know that you cannot trust them
Because they know they can't trust you
Expatriated Americans
Feeling so all alone
Telling themselves the same lies
That they told themselves at home
Late at night you can find them
In the cheap hotels and bars
Hustling the senoritas while they dance beneath the stars
Spending their renegade pesos
On a bottle of rum and a lime
Singing "Give me some words we can dance to
Or a melody that rhymes"
Down in the banana republics
Things aren't as bright as they seem
None of the natives are buying
Any second-hand American dreams ...

Lady of Madrid, how I love you Lady of Madrid, I will be true Here in the moonlight beneath your balcony Singing the song that is love's sweet melody Lady of Madrid, forevermore Lady of Madrid, you, I'll adore I will love you, dear, always By the stars above Lady of Madrid, my love

Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Screaming in the suffering sea
It sounds like crying
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
And I wonder do you wonder
While you're sleeping with your whore
That sharing beds with history
Is like a-licking running sores
Forty shades of green yeah
Sixty shades of red
Heroes going cheap these days
Price; a bullet in the head
Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Screaming in the suffering sea
It sounds like crying
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
Take your hand and lead you
Up a garden path
Let me stand aside here
And watch you pass
Striking up a soldier's song
I know that tune
It begs too many questions
And answers to
Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Screaming in the suffering sea
It sounds like crying
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
The purple and the pinstripe
Mutely shake their heads
A silense shrieking volumes
A violence worse than the condemn
Stab you in the back yeah
Laughing in your face
Glad to see the place again
It's a pitty nothing's changed
Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Screaming in the suffering sea
It sounds like crying
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
