Shiver Me Timbers
(German Version: Nach Mir Die Sinflut)
Composer(s): Tom Waits
First release by: Tom Waits - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm leavin' my fam'ly
Leavin' all my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
On a new front page sky
My tears are salt water
And the moon's full and high

And I know Martin Eden's
Gonna be proud of me
And many before me
Who've been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest
Singin' my say
Shiver me Timbers
'Cause I'm a-sailin' away

And the fog's liftin'
And the sand's shiftin'
I'm driftin' on out
Ol' Captain Ahab
He ain't got nothin' on me, now
So swallow me, don't follow me
I'm trav'lin' alone
Blue water's my daughter
'n I'm gonna skip like a stone

So please call my missus
Gotta tell her not to cry
'Cause my goodbye is written
By the moon in the sky
Hey and nobody knows me
I can't fathom my stayin'
Shiver me timbers
'Cause I'm a-sailin' away

And the fog's liftin'
And the sand's shiftin'
I'm driftin' on out
Ol' Captain Ahab
He ain't got nothin' on me
So come and swallow me, follow me
I'm trav'lin' alone
Blue water's my daughter
'n I'm gonna skip like a stone

And I'm leavin' my family
Leavin' all my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
Upon a new front page sky
And shiver me timbers
'Cause I'm a-sailin' away 

The Happy Elf
Composer(s): Harry Connick Jr.
Performer(s): Harry Conninck Jr.



Seven days a week
Ev'ry week of the month
And ev'ry month of the year
He's got us making presents
And I'm happy

Ev'ry girl and boy
Gets their own kind of toy
We like to fill 'em with joy
We're workin' over time
To make 'em happy

Then on Christmas eve
We jump on big red's sleigh
We don't miss a chimney
On our jolly way

We won't stop until
Every kid gets a fill
Of Santa's brand of good will
The thrill of spilling cheer
Just makes us happy

So, if you've been good yourself
You might see the happy elf
Stop by your house and make
You very happy

The happy elf
I'm the happy elf
I'm the happy elf and I just might stop on by
The happy elf
I'm the happy elf
I'm the happy elf and I just might stop on by
I'm Santa's spy!

Nach Mir Die Sinflut
(Adapted from: Shiver Me Timbers - 1974)
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Wolfgang Ambros



I loß alles lieg'n und stehn
I segel afoch fuat
Und niemand wird mit mir geh'n
mir geht's wieder guat
I verloß mei oides Leben
und alle meine Freund
Nur mit'n Wind und mit'n Wossa
mit Sunn und Mond vereint

Und i waß, da oide Hemingway
wär stolz g'wes'n auf mi
wie auf so viele andre
die eam g'folgt san, wie i
I schau obe vom Mastkorb
in die purpurrote Sonn
nach mir die Sinflut
i segel davon

Wenn ma am Ruder steht
wann si des Segel bläht
dann waß ma erst, wofür ma lebt
I bin der Kapitän
Schau zua, wie si der Nebel hebt
So haßt's mi, oba lassts mi gehn
kan Stress mehr und kann Druck
mei Ziel is der Horizont
und i komm nie mehr wieder z'ruck

So bittschön rufts mei Frau an
sie soll ned traurig sein
sie wird's ned begreifen
doch des geht boid vorbei
Hey und niemand verfolgt mi
i nimm mir jetzt mein Lohn
nach mir die Sintflut
i segel davon

Oh, I'm the happiest Christmas tree
Christmas Day, wait and see
I'll be laughing happily
With a hoo-hoo-hoo-hee-hee

Rabbit, rabbit .....
Rabbit, rabbit .....

You got a beatiful chin
You got beautiful skin
You got a beautiful face
You got taste

You got beautiful eyes
You got beautiful thighs
You got a lot, without a doubt
But I'm thinkin' bout blowin you out

Cos, you won't stop talking
Why don't you give it a rest?
You got more rabbit than Sainsbury's
It's time you got it off your chest
Now you was just the kind of girl to break my heart in two

Chorus
I knew right off when I first met my eyes on you
But how was I to know you'd break my ear holes too
With your excessive talking,
You're becoming a pest

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit .....
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit .....

Now you're a wonderful girl
You got a wonderful smell
You got wonderful arms
You got charms

You got wonderful hair
We make a wonderful pair
No I don't mind havin' a chat ....
But, you have to keep givin' it that

Chorus

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit 
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit

Je vais te chanter
C'que je peux pas te dire
Encore
Je vais murmurer
C'que j'voulais t'écrire
Alors
Je viens d'arriver
Perdu seul ici
J'peux rien expliquer
Juste caresser la mélodie
De ma voix cassée

Somehow I need you
Love me love me tender
Somehow I loose you
I loose you remember

Un soleil rouillé
Sur ta peau métisse
S'endort
Nos deux sangs mêlés
Tes reins élastiques
Alors
Tout peut arriver
Ailleurs loin d'ici
Je veux plus y penser
Quelques mots d'amour au fond du lit
De ma voix cassée

Somehow I need you
Love me love me tender
Somehow I loose you
I loose you remember

Je vais te chanter
C'que j'voulais te dire
Alors
De ma voix cassée

Remember remember ...

Shirley
Shirley, I love you so
I'm never gonna let you go
Shirley where are you goin' tonight?

Shirley
Shirley will you be my girl?
I'll take you all around the world
Shirley where are you goin' tonight?

Oh Shirley
Shirley, I'd buy you anything
Would you like a diamond ring?

I called Shirley's mama on the phone
She said Shirley's not at home
She said my little girl won't be back soon
She's gone on a honeymoon.

Oh Shirley
Shirley you've done me wrong
That's why I sing this song
Shirley where are you going tonight?

I called Shirley's mama on the phone

She said my little girl won't be back soon
She's gone on a honeymoon.

Ships In The Night
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
Performer(s): Jack Bruce



Ships in the night
Searching for day
Beckoning lips
So far away
Shadows adrift
Hiding from light
Ships in the night

Sometimes you feel
Then again you can't
Morning comes down
Soon after the dance
Time slowly drowns
Streets so unreal
Needing to heal

Harbours of love
Shining so calm
For beyond pain
Outside of harm
Why must we move
Into the rain
Again...

Ships in the night
Riding the waves
Yesterday slips
Into the haze
Memories ripped
Sliding from sight
Ships in the night

Maybe you win
Maybe you lose
Future seems like
Just another ruse
Sirens invite
Us to begin
Come right on in

Harbours of love
Shining so calm
Far beyond pain
Outside of harm
Why must we move
Out of the sun
Into the rain
Again...

Shipoopi
Composer(s): Meredith Willson
Performer(s): Jimmy Giuffre
and multiple other artists



Well, a woman who'll kiss on the very first date
Is usually a hussy
And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out
Is anything but fussy
But a woman who'll wait till the third time around
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground
She's the girl he's glad he's found
She's his Shipoopi

Shipoopi! Shipoopi, Shipoopi
The girl who's hard to get!
Shipoopi. Shipoopi, Shipoopi
But you can win her yet.

Walk her once just to raise the curtain
Then you walk around twice and make for certain
Once more in the flower garden
She will never get sore if you beg her pardon

Do re me fa so la si
Do si la sol fa mi re do

Squeeze her once, when she isn't lookin'
If you get a squeeze back that's fancy cookin'
Once more for a pepper-upper
She will never get sore on her way to supper

Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do

Now little ol' Sal was a no-gal
As anyone could see
Lookit her now, she's a go-gal
Who only goes for me

Squeeze her once when she isn't lookin'
If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin'
Once more for a pepper-upper
She will never get sore on her way to supper

Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do

Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi
The girl who's hard to get
Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi
But you can win her yet

Ship To Shore
Composer(s): Chris de Burgh
Performer(s): Chris de Burgh



Ship to shore, do you read me anymore
This line is bad, and fading
Ship to shore, answer my call
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home

I have been to see the world
Tasted life at every turn
And all the time
Your face came back to haunt me

Day by day the feeling grew
I know I'm still in love with you
The further that I go
The more I know it, I wanna show it

Ship to shore, do you read me anymore
This line is bad, and fading
Ship to shore, answer my call
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home

Moving fast, all systems go
You and I had time to grow
Before there was a breakdown in transmission

How I wish that we could turn
The clock back to the days when
We were lovers in the true sense
of the meaning, you must believe me

Ship to shore, do you read me anymore
This line is bad, I'm drowning
Ship to shore, answer my call
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home

Ship to shore,ship to shore, ship to shore ...

I cannot believe my eyes
But I think I see a light
You are everything I've always
Wanted in my life

The human race was dyin' out
Noone left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon

Everyone was hanging out
Hanging up and hanging down
Hanging in and holding fast
Hope our little world will last

Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips
Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're going home
Ship of fools, ship of fools

The human race was dyin' out
Noone left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools ...

Composer(s): Masami Kurumada



When you look back through the time
What did you find in your life
What do you see, through your heart
Is there still a strength in you
or are you 
falling apart

Come let me hold you in my arms 
I'll always be here for you
Close your eyes and rest your soul
Let me wipe away your tears
I'll kiss away your fears
So you can fly again
spread your wings up high and touch that one endless sky

Shining star, sparkling in the sky
Like a diamond shining in your special way
I see you twinkling light night and day
Shining star, shining way up high
In the dark sky, you are the guiding light forever
shining bright out there in the night

There's light inside your eyes
Is it for tomorrows dreams
That you believe, light of hope
Could it be the tears you cry from those sad memories

Come let me hold you in my arms I'll always be here for you
Close your eyes and rest your soul
There's so many dreams to see, just let your heart go free
Sail on the winds of time
Keep on searching cause your dream are just a touch away

Shining star, sparkling in the sky
I feel you so close to me, you are my light
I see your twinkling light rain or shine
Shining star, shining way up high
Keep on shining even on stormy nights
you're always shining right here in my heart

Shining star, sparkling in the sky
Like a diamond shining in your special way
I see you twinkling light night and day
Shining star, shining way up high
In the dark sky, you are the guiding light forever
shining bright out there in the night

Go ahead with what you’re doing, you don’t have to pay me any mind
Don’t think I won’t get to it, I got plans for her tonight
You can watch her dance forever, you won’t hold her in your arms tonight
When it’s all said and done, I will be the one to hold her tight

So let her shine, shine, shine
Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine
When the night is over she’ll be mine, mine, mine
Sit back and let that little girl shine

She’s like a brand new penny, even though she never had a dime
See her sparkle see her glisten, no one holds a candle when she shines
She turns a mile a minute, see her twirl just like spinning top
But one thing that you’ll find, it’s me who’s on her mind when the music stops

So let her shine, shine, shine
Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine
When the night is over she’ll be mine, mine, mine
Sit back and let that little girl shine

You can watch her dance forever, you won’t hold her in your arms tonight
When it’s all said and done, I will be the one to hold her tight

So let her shine, shine, shine
Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine
When the night is over she’ll be mine, mine, mine
Sit back and let that little girl shine

Let her shine
Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine
Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine
When the night is over she’ll be mine, mine, mine
Sit back and let that little girl shine

I've never been sorry for the way I was raised

The enemy fewer and the love that I made was the symbol on the times

A celebration of the wine I made a memory in you
I'll still be the reader of the letters you write

I've never been lonely for the rest of my life
there's a corner in my heart

Oh
we can never be apart
no
we can never be apart
Look tomorrow
you be gone tomorrow
we can dance the night away

I can bestow to you all my love on your wedding day
Shine
shine
for how much longer you'll be mine

There'll be no words to be broken.
You mean no world to me someone else that we both call love in your eyes

I believe together you'll shine
I was born to be with you on the day you were born

A beautiful angel with her face in the sun

She was searchin' for the moon in ev'ry sparkle in the spoon
You haven't changed.
I'll still be the face in ev'rybody you see a light in the night

If you need me to be in ev'ry corner of the world

If any smile becomes a tear I will shelter you from the rain

Look tomorrow
you be gone tomorrow
we can dance the night away

Shine
shine
for how much longer you'll be mine

And now I love you
there's no one I place above you
life is a road before you

While he can show the way for you
my darling
I will pray for you
Slune
shine 
For how much longer you'll be mine ...
