Im Tiefen Keller Composer(s): Ludwig Fischer; Karl Müchler Performer(s): Ivan Rebroff; Letzenbergstare
Im tiefen Keller sitz' ich hier Bei einem Faß voll Reben Bin frohen Mut's und lasse mir Vom Allerbesten geben Der Küfer holt mir gleich 'ne neue Flasche vor Gehorsam meinem Winke Füllt mir das Glas Ich hielt's empor Und trinke, trinke, trinke
Mich plagt ein Dämon, Durst genannt Und um ihn zu verscheuchen Neh'm ich mein großes Glas zur Hand Und lass mir Wodka reichen Die ganze Welt, na ja, erscheint mir nun In rosaroter Schminke Ich könnte keinem böses tun Wenn ich trinke, trinke, trinke!
We're havin' a redneck christmas
With traditional possum stew (yee-haw)
We're havin' a redneck christmas
Hope Santa brings a little rabbit too (yum yum)
Got Paw new chaw redman
Maw a brand new spit cup (phtoeey)
And I got my wife a brand new set
Of re-treads for my pickup truck
(Ain't he the sweetest thang)
Oh we ain't nevr seen ther raindeer
But we painted the bulls nose red (moo)
Put runners under the outhouse
And we're usin' it fer a sled
(Darn fool idiots what're doin?
Sorry didn't know you was in there grandpaw
Merry Christmas now ya hear?
Well, I got yer merry christmas right here
Come back with thet catalog)
We're havin' a redneck christmas
TP'd the whole front yard
Put big red bows on the hound dogs
Turned the lights on all the cars (howls)
I love a redneck christmas
It's a simple kinda life
You buy one gift and that takes care
Of yer cousin and yer wife
I went downtown to see Santy Claus
Gave a dollar to one of them legs
(Here you go shorty)
So Santa'd bring a man for daughter
After all she's near bout' twelve
(Poor thing she'll be a spinster soon)
We're havin' a redneck christmas
Hung our stockings on the stove
On the stove (sizzle)
Hope Santa brings us big stuff
'Cause the little stuff falls thru the toes, falls thru the toes
We's havin' a redneck christmas
With homemade moonshine eggnog (glug glug)
I took a little swig
Thought it needed more kick
Throwed in a little toe de frog
(burp, hic, ribbit, hic, ribbit)
(Hic)
I'm Through With Love Composer(s): Fud Livingston; Matty Malneck; Gus Kahn Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe and multiple other artists
I have given you my true love But you love a new love What am I supposed to do now With you now, you're through? You'll be on your merry way And there's only this to say
I'm through with love I'll never fall again Said adieu to love Don't ever call again For I must have you or no one Because I'm through with love
I've locked my heart I'll keep my feelings there I have stocked my heart With an icy, Frigidaire For I mean to care for no one Because I'm through with love
Why did you lead me to think you could care? You didn't need me for you had your share of slaves around you to hound you and swear with deep emotion, devotion to you
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me It could never bring the things that used to be For I must have you or no one So I am through with love
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me It can never bring the thing that used to be For I must have you or no one Because I'm through with love
I'm The Urban Spaceman Composer(s): Neil Innes Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band
I'm the urban spaceman baby, I've got speed I've got everything I need I'm the urban spaceman baby, I can fly I'm a supersonic guy
I don't need pleasure I don't feel pain If you were to knock me down I'd just get up again I'm the urban spaceman babe and I'm making out I'm all about
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face My natural exuberance spills out all over the place I'm the urban spaceman I'm intelligent and clean Know what I mean?
I'm the urban spaceman, as a lover second to none It's a lot of fun
I never let my friends down I've never made a boob I'm a glossy magazine an advert in the tube I'm the urban spaceman babe, but here comes the twist I don't exist
It was the night before Christmas, when all through the abode
Only one creature was stirring, and she was cleaning the commode
The children were finally sleeping, all snug in their beds
While visions of Nintendo and Barbie, flipped through their heads
The dad was snoring in front of the TV
With a half-constructed bicycle on his knee
So only the mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter
Which made her sigh, "Now what's the matter?"
With toilet bowl brush still clutched in her hand
She descended the stairs, and saw the old man
He was covered with ashes and soot, which fell with a shrug
"Oh great!!" muttered the mom
"Now I have to clean the rug"
"Ho-Ho-Ho!!" cried Santa
"I'm glad you're awake
Your gift was especially difficult to make"
"Thanks, Santa, but all I want is some time alone"
"Exactly!!" he chuckled
"I've made you a clone"
"A clone?" she asked
"What good is that?
Run along, Santa
I've no time for chit-chat"
It was the mother's twin
Same hair, same eyes, same double chin
"She'll cook, she'll dust, she'll mop every mess
You'll relax, take it easy, watch the Young and the Restless"
"Fantastic!!" the mom cheered
"My dream come true!
I'll shop
I'll read
I'll sleep a whole night through!"
From the room above, the youngest began to fret
"Mommy?!? I'm scared, and I'm wet"
The clone replied "I'm coming, sweetheart"
"Hey," the mom smiled "She knows her part"
The clone changed the small one, and hummed a tune
As she bundled the child, in a blanket cocoon
"You're the best mommy ever
I really love you"
The clone smiled and sighed "I love you, too"
The mom frowned and said "Sorry, Santa, no deal
That's my child's love that she's trying to steal"
Smiling wisely Santa said
"To me it is clear
Only one loving mother is needed here"
The mom kissed her child, and tucked her into bed
"Thank you, Santa, for clearing my head
I sometimes forget it won't be very long
When they'll be too old, for my cradle-song"
The clock on the mantle began to chime
Santa whispered to the clone
"It works every time"
With the clone by his side, Santa said "Good night
Merry Christmas, Mom
You'll be alright"
I'm The Toughest Composer(s): Peter Tosh Performer(s): Peter Tosh; Bunny Wailer
Anything you can do I can do it better I'm the toughest I'm the toughest And I can do what you can't do You'll never try to do what I do I'm the toughest I'm the toughest
Stop from doing wrongs Change your foolish plans Stop from doing wrongs Just live up like a man

Now my little brothers You've got to be good Do what's right Don't be bad-minded Just take what's yours And there'll be no fuss or fight
Stop from doing wrongs Change your foolish plan Stop from doing wrongs Just live up like a man

I said I love my brothers I said I love my sisters I don't covet my neighbor And I love my neighbor
A Merry Christmas At Grandmother's (Traditional) Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
Over the river and through the woods To Grandmother's house we go The horses await to carry the sleigh Through the white and drifting snow
Over the river and through the woods Oh how the wind does blow It stings the toes and bites the nose As over the ground we go
Oh, over the river and through the woods Now Grandmother's cap I spy Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done Hurrah for the pumpkin pie
Over the river and through the woods And straight to the farmyard gate Spring over the ground like a hunting hound For this is Christmas day
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Hark the bells are ringing Hear the children singing Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Hark the bells are ringing Hear the children singing Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year
Oh, over the river and through the woods We must hurry, we mustn't be late We seem to be going extremely slow It is so hard to wait
Over the river and through the woods Oh, how the wind does blow Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done For this is Christmas day
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Hark, all the bells are ringing Hear the children singing
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas And a Glad New Year

Sì questa sera è festa grande noi scendiamo in pista subito e se vuoi divertirti vieni qua ti terremo fra di noi e ballerai...
Finché vedrai sventolar bandiera gialla tu saprai che qui si balla ed il tempo volerà...
Saprai quando c'è bandiera gialla che la gioventù è bella e il tuo cuore batterà Sai quelli che non ci voglion bene è perché non si ricordano di esser stati ragazzi giovani o di aver avuto già la nostra età...
Finché vedrai sventolar bandiera gialla tu saprai che qui si balla ed il tempo volerà...
Saprai quando c'è bandiera gialla che la gioventù è bella e il tuo cuore batterà Finché vedrai sventolar bandiera gialla tu saprai che qui si balla ed il tempo volerà... Saprai quando c'è bandiera gialla che la gioventù è bella e il tuo cuore batterà
Siamo noi siamo noi bandiera gialla... Vieni qui che qui si balla... Vieni qui che qui si balla... Siamo noi bandiera gialla...

I'm The Only Man On The Island Composer(s): Bob Merrill; Dave Mann Performer(s): Tommy Steele
I'm the only man on the island The only man on the island To a hundred and fifty native girls I'm the King of the Coral Sea
When my sailboat sank in the ocean How quick they came to my rescue They haven't had a man to hula for Since nineteen-forty-three
Oh-oh-oh, it's nice, livin' in a tropical paradise They cook me all kinds of food And pour sweet wime in my cup So if I'm dreamin', I don't wanna wake up
Well, hey number one girl, wave that fan Hey number two girl, hold my hand Hey number three girl, kiss me sweet Hey number four girl, rub my feet
Hey number five girl, bake some pies Hey number six girl, swat them flies Hey number seven girl, sweep the shack Hey number eight girl, scratch my back
I'm the only man on the island The only man on the island There's a hundred and fifty girls to love Underneath the coconut tree

You're talking about your woman I wish to God, man, that you could see mine You're talking about your woman, I wish to God that you could see mine Every time the little girl start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind
Lord, her daddy must been a millionaire, 'cause I can tell by the way she walk Her daddy must been a millionaire, because I can tell by the way she walk Every time she start to loving, the deaf and dumb begin to talk
I remember one Friday morning, we was lying down across the bed Man in the next room a-dying, stopped dying and lift up his head, and said "Lord, ain't she pretty, and the whole state know she fine!"
Every time she start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind (Spoken: All right and all right, now Lay it on me, lay it on me, lay it on me Oh lordy, what a woman, what a woman!)
Yes, I declare she's pretty and the whole state knows she's fine Man, I declare she's pretty, God knows I declare she's fine Every time she starts to loving, whoo, she brings eyesight to the blind (I've got to get out of here, now, let's go, let's go, let's go now)
