The Three Caballeros Composer(s): Ernesto Cortázar - Manuel Esperón - Ray Gilbert Performer(s): Clarence Nash, José Oliviera & Joaquin Garay and multiple other artists
We're three caballeros Three gay caballeros They say we are birds of a feather We're happy amigos No matter where he goes 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

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
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

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
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

River Of Dreams Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Jack Tempchin Performer(s): Glenn Frey
On a dark December morning When the sun refused to shine Spent another sleepless night Got so much on my mind Think I finally know what's wrong I think I've gotta leave this place behind So I said wake up, Linda, I've had a dream I dreamed we moved away from here To a place I'd never seen Where the nights were long and cold And the air was fresh and clean. And there we were standing Underneath the western sky Beside a home we built ourselves Way up in the mountains high And we lived happy there, just you and I On a river of dreams There's no need to worry now Cause I've got a plan We don't need this modern world I'm not a modern man We're gonna get ourselves off these city streets We're gonna get back on the land There's a whole lot of people out there Feel just like you and me They'd love to pack their leavin' trucks And say goodbye to all their misery What'd ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey And chase the sun until we're free And if I could I'd lift you up on angel wings We'd fly away and never worry about a thing We'd know the joy and riches a simple life can bring On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams So get your things together now I'll be getting mine I've finally got the feeling girl The sun is gonna shine You know people don't run out of dreams People just run out of time Let's find that place out there Underneath the western sky We'll build a home ourselves Way up in the mountains high We'll live happy there 'til the day we die On a river of dreams And we'll have stars to wish on every single night We'll build a fire and make love by candlelight We'll do our moondance 'til we get it right On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams I can see us standing by the river Holding hands beside the river
The Thing-Ummy-Bob (That's Gonna Win The War) Composer(s): David Heneker - Gordon Thompson Performer(s): Arthur Askey & Gracie Fields
You've heard of Florence Nightingale, Grace Darling and the rest You've all seen Greta Garbo and her busom friend, Mae West But there's a little lady, I want you all to meet She's working on munitions and she lives just down the street
She can't pretend to be, a great celebrity But still... she's most important in her way The job she has to do, may not seem like much to you But all the same, I'm very proud to say...
She's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole that holds the spring that drives the rod that turns the knob that works the thing-ummy-bob She's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil that oils the ring that takes the shank that moves the crank that works the thing-ummy-bob
It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob Especially when you don't know what it's for But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole that holds the spring that works the thing-ummy-bob that makes the engines roar And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil that oils the ring that works the thing-ummy-bob that's going to win the war
She's not what you would call, a heroine, at all I don't suppose you'll even know her name And though she'll never boast, of her important post She strikes a blow for Britain just the same
She's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole that holds the spring that drives the rod that turns the knob that works the thing-ummy-bob She's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil that oils the ring that takes the shank that moves the crank that works the thing-ummy-bob
It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob Especially when you don't know what it's for But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole that holds the spring that works the thing-ummy-bob that makes the engines roar And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil that oils the ring that works the thing-ummy-bob that's going to win the war
