Het was in de tweede wereldoorlog Een groep soldaten kwam terug van een patrouille en arriveerde in een klein dorp De volgende morgen, zondag, ging een aantal van hen onder leiding van een sergeant, naar de kerk Nadat de geestelijke een gebed had gelezen begon 'ie te preken Die jongens die een kerkboek hadden haalden het te voorschijn Maar 1 van hen had alleen maar een spel kaarten bij zich dat 'ie voor zich uitspreidde De sergeant zag wat 'ie deed en zei dat 'ie de kaarten weg moest doen Na afloop van de dienst werd de soldaat gestraft en bij de officier militaire politie gebracht "Waarom heeft u 'm hier gebracht, sergeant?", vroeg de officier "Hij zat te kaarten in de kerk", was het antwoord "Wat heb je daar op te zeggen, knaap?", zei de luitenant "Heel veel", was het antwoord van de bewuste soldaat "Dat zullen we hopen, want als je geen deugdelijke reden hebt dan zal ik je strenger straffen dan wie ook" De soldaat zei: "Luitenant, ik ben zes dagen op patrouille geweest Ik had geen bijbel of kerkboek, maar ik hoop u te kunnen overtuigen van de oprechtheid van m'n bedoelingen" Nadat 'ie dit had gezegd, begon 'ie z'n verhaal
"Kijk luitenant, als ik naar de aas van het spel kijk, dan weet ik dat er maar 1 God is en de twee vertelt me dat de bijbel in twee delen verdeeld is, het oude en het nieuwe testament Als ik de drie zie, dan denk ik aan de Vader, de Zoon en de Heilige Geest De vier herinnert me aan de vier evanchelisten die het woord predikten Mattheus, Marcus, Lucas en Johannes De vijf doet me denken aan de vijf wijze maagden die hun lamp brandend hielden en gespaard bleven Vijf van de tien waren dwaas en werden verstoten; de overige vijf bleven gespaard Zes, dat zijn de zes dagen waarin God de hemel en de aarde heeft gemaakt Zeven herinnert me aan de zevende dag, de rustdag De acht doet me denken aan de acht mensen die gered werden toen de aarde vernietigd werd Het waren Noach, z'n vrouw, z'n zonen en hun vrouwen Bij de negen denk ik aan de melaatsen die onze Redder reinigde van de zonden en negen van de tien bedankten Hem zelfs niet Bij tien denk ik aan de tien geboden die Mozes op de stenen tafelen ontving Zie ik de koning, dan weet ik dat er slechts 1 grote Koning is De vrouw herinnert me aan moeder Maria, koningin van de hemel De boer van het spel is de duivel Als ik de tekens op de kaarten tel dan kom ik tot 365, de dagen van het jaar Er zijn 52 kaarten, de weken van het jaar Vier kleuren zijn er, vier weken in een maand Er zijn twaalf kaarten met een afbeelding, dat wil dus zeggen: twaalf maanden in een jaar Ook zijn er dertien troeven in een spel, dertien weken in een kwartaal Ziet u luitenant, m'n speelkaarten betekenen voor mij een bijbel een almanak en een kerkboek tegelijk"
Beste mensen, dit was een waar verhaal Ik weet het zeker, want die soldaat, dat was ik
Lucille Et Les Libellules Composer(s): Yves Duteil Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Deux ou trois libellules en vol Troublaient Lucille Sur le chemin de son école En pleine ville Ces libellules en ville sont folles Se dit Lucille Qui les attrape avec un fil Et puis s'envole
Deux ou trois libellules en vol Portaient Lucille Deux ou trois hirondelles en file Suivaient leur vol Elles sont arrivées sur une île Si loin de son école Que les lumières de la ville Sont des lucioles
Les libellules disaient "Lucille À notre école Vois, c'est facile, tu bats des cils Et tu t'envoles ..." Comme elles prononçaient ces paroles Au même instant Lucille Entendit au loin dans la ville Sonner l'école
Deux ou trois libellules en vol Suivaient Lucille Sur le chemin de son école En pleine ville Pressant le pas, souple et gracile Lucille frôlait le sol Battant des cils d'un air tranquille Vers son école

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell
I let it ring for a long, long spell
I went to the window
I peeped through the blind
And asked him to tell me what's on his mind
He said
Money, honey
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me
Well, I screamed and I hollered
I was so hard-pressed
I called the woman that I loved the best
I finally got my baby about half past three
She said I'd like to know what you want with me
I said
Money, honey
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me
Well, I said tell me baby, what's wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through
I said, tell me baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
She said
Money, honey
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get a long with me
Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow
The women may come and the women may go
But before I say I love you so
I want
Money, honey
Money, honey
Money, honey
If you want to get along with me

Lucille Pourquoi viens-tu t'excuser? Lucille Je t'ai déjà oubliée Tu ne comptes plus pour moi Tu devrais t'en aller

Oh! Lucille

Every day of the week We kinda visit the store All the beautiful things you see Would soon be yours Money burns a hole in my pocket So I'm bringing your perfume and candy and roses of red And wishing they were diamonds instead

In a bar in Toledo across the depot On a barstool she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer So I walked on over I sat down and ask her name When the drink finally hit her She said I'm no quitter But I finally quit living on drinks I'm hungry for laughter And here ever after
In the mirror I saw him I closely watch him I thought how he looked out of place He came to the woman Sat down beside me He had a strange look on his face The big hands are callous He looked like a mountain From a minute I thought I was dead But he started shaking But his big heart was breaking
You picked the fine time to leave me, Lucille Four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some bad time Live thru' some sad times But this time the hurting won't heal You pick the fine time to leave me, Lucille
After he left her I ordered some whisky I thought how she made hime look small From thee lights of the barroom To rented hotel room We walked without talking at all She was a beauty But when she came to me She must have thought I lose my mind I couldn't hold her The words that he told her The words that he told her Kept coming back time after time
Gilligan's Island Composer(s): Sherwood Schwartz; George Wyle Performer(s): Manic Hispanic; and various other artists
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful trip That started from this tropic port Aboard this tiny ship The mate was a mighty sailing man The skipper brave and sure Five passengers set sail that day For a three hour tour, a three hour tour The weather started getting rough The tiny ship was tossed If not for the courage of the fearless crew The minnow would be lost, the minnow would be lost The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle With Gilligan The Skipper too The millionaire and his wife The movie star The professor and Mary Ann Here on Gilligan's Isle So this is the tale of the castaways They're here for a long, long time They'll have to make the best of things It's an uphill climb The first mate and the Skipper too Will do their very best To make the others comfortable In the tropic island nest No phone, no lights no motor cars Not a single luxury Like Robinson Crusoe As primative as can be So join us here each week my friends You're sure to get a smile From seven stranded castaways Here on "Gilligan's Isle"
