Polka Dot Undies
Polka Dot Undies
Performer(s): Dr. Demento
Well, I went for a drive in my pickup truck
I picked up my girl, 'cause I wanted to
Show her my gloves, 'cause she had on her mitts
And I blushed brightly when she showed me her
Perfume that she buys whenever Avon calls
So I took off my pants, and I showed her my
Polka-dot undies!
My polka-dot undies!
Yeah, my polka-dot undies from Miracle Mart
I said, "Look, be careful, I think I'm gonna
Turn a sharp corner, and go up on the grass"
She leaned out the window, and I thought I saw her
Pointing to something that flashed by real quick
She said, "Hey, look at that!
It looks just like your
Polka-dot undies!"
Polka-dot undies!
Yeah, my polka-dot undies that I wear back-to-front
She smiled and she said, "Have you seen my Brother's new car?
The one that he stole?"
Then she asked me to look up her
Whole damn family, and I went into shock
When I found out it was her sister who really liked
Polka-dot undies!
Polka-dot undies!
Yeah!
Well, I took her out to dinner, but on one thing she was firm
She'd swallow almost anything, except for
Stories that her brother didn't like birds
But hung around leather bars, and liked to eat
Fish and chips, and he still sucked his thumb
I said, "I don't mind!"
And she kissed me on my
Polka-dot undies!
My polka-dot undies!
I kissed her softly, and I said, "I'll tell you what
Let's roll up the windows, and I'll eat your
Last bar of chocolate - the one that's in the parcel"
She said, "No, no, no", and she called me a Taxi
And I said, "I beg your pardon!
But get me home real fast before I lose my
Polka-dot undies!"
Polka-dot undies!
The moral of this story, like a jewel it is gleamin'
But you'll never find it in a glass of warm
Milk or tea, 'cause it will not fit
And you probably already think I am full of
Vague innuendos and double-meanin' rhymes
But I'll tell you that obscenity is all in your
Polka-dot undies!
Your polka-dot undies!
Yeah, your edible undies!
Your polka-dot undies!
Yeah!

Enséñame A Cantar
First performance by: Micky - 1977
Enséñame a cantar
Al salir de mi casa
cuando iba a pasear
Pensando en mis problemas
con ganas de olvidar
Me encontré a una niña
sentada en el tal
Tocando con un banjo
cantando sin parar
Enséñame a cantar
enséñame a cantar
Que tengo triste el corazón
y necesito amar
Enséñame a cantar
enséñame a cantar
Que tengo triste el corazón
y necesito amar
(La la la la la la la la...

La la la la la la la la...

La miré sonriendo
y sin saber por qué
Se iluminó su cara
y sonrió también
"Siéntate a mi lado
si quieres aprender
"Y no te dé vergüenza
que yo te enseñaré"
Enséñame a cantar
enséñame a cantar
Que tengo triste el corazón
y necesito amar
Enséñame a cantar
enséñame a cantar
Que tengo triste el corazón
y necesito amar
(La la la la la la la la...

Polk Salad Annie
Polk Salad Annie
Composer(s): Tony Joe White
Performer(s): Tony Joe White;
and various other artists
Some of you all never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields
and it looks something like a turnip green
Everybody calls it Polk salad
Now that's Polk salad
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
she'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat
But they did all right
Down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
Polk salad Annie
'Gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
What a mean, vicious woman
Everyday before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of Polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk salad Annie
'Gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang
Whoo, how wretched, despiteful, straight-razor totin' woman
Lord have mercy
Sock a little Polk salad to me
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah
Her daddy was a lazy and a no-count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck patch
For once Polk salad Annie
'Gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
Sock a little Polk salad to me
You know I need a meal miss
You sock a little
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
(Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon)
Sock a little Polk salad to me
You know I need a meal miss
Sock a little Polk salad to him
You know I need a meal
Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling

Snart Tystnar Musiken
Snart Tystnar Musiken
Composer(s): Tomas Ledin
Performer(s): Tomas Ledin
Om du tror på det första ögonblicket
Om du vågar lita på det
Då finns det ingen anledning att gå ensam härifrån
Tänk på det som hänt mellan oss ikväll
Snart tystnar musiken
Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan
Vi kan stanna till ibland
Vi kan drunkna i varann
Och om sanningen skall fram
Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt
Om du vågar lita på vad du känner
Om du säkert vet att det är så
Då får du inte tveka, du kan inte bara gå
Efter vad som hänt mellan oss ikväll
Snart tystnar musiken
Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan
Vi kan stanna till ibland
Vi kan drunkna i varann
Och om sanningen skall fram
Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt
Det finns tillfällen i livet,
Som aldrig kommer igen
Man känner det på sig
Av nån anledning vet man att det är så
Snart tystnar musiken
Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan
Vi kan stanna till ibland
Vi kan drunkna i varann
Och om sanningen skall fram
Jag vill att vi skall älska
Snart tystnar musiken
Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan
Vi kan stanna till ibland
Vi kan drunkna i varann
Och om sanningen skall fram
Jag vill att vi skall älska
Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt

Hey now baby, get into my big black car

So don't deny me baby, not while you're in my reach
I support the left, though I'm leaning, leaning to the right
I support the left, though I'm leaning to the right
But I'm just not there when it's coming to a fight
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I want to just show you what my politics are

Polichinelle (France Gall)
Polichinelle
Composer(s): Jean-Paul Bernard; P. Saka
Performer(s): France Gall
J'ai un joli polichinelle
Que vient de m'offrir une amie
Dans son bel habit de dentelle
Il est assis, près de mon lit
Mais un jour mon polichinelle
En un grand garçon s'est changé
Il m'a dit : "Vous êtes bien celle
Que je vais aimer"
C'était le prince charmant
Dont je rêvais quand j'étais enfant
Il m'a prise dans ses bras
Et m'a dit tout bas
"Déguisé en polichinelle
Je suis là pour vous emmener
Et demain une vie nouvelle
Pour tous les deux va commencer"
Oui mais juste à ce moment-là
Soudain j'ai entendu des pas
C'était ma mère qui arrivait
Et dans ma chambre, elle est entrée
Le garçon en polichinelle
Comme par miracle s'est changé
Dans son bel habit de dentelle
Assis sur mon lit
Je ne sais pas si j'ai rêvé
Ou bien si c'est la réalité
Mais moi j'ai depuis ce jour
Rencontré l'amour
J'ai un joli polichinelle
Que viens de m'offrir une amie
Dans son bel habit de dentelle
Il est toute ma vie
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
Il est toute ma vie
Il est toute ma vie
Il est toute ma vie

Snapshot
Snapshot
Composer(s): Kye Fleming
Performer(s): Sylvia
I found a cigarette, circled with lipstick
And the lingering of perfume in the room
The look on his face, was priceless
I don't think he expected me so soon
I'm sure he's got, an innocent excuse
Except for the snapshot
He doesn't know I've got (I've got! Uh-huh!)
He almost pulled off the perfect lover's crime!
Except for the snapshot
That puts me on top (On top! Uh-huh!)
He think he's got one on me
But he hasn't seen, the snapshot
He says he bought the new car strictly for business
And the new clothes match the new smile on his face
The extra key on his chain, must be to the office
Poor baby, leaving early, staying late
He's got an alibi, for every move he makes
Except for the snapshot
He doesn't know I've got (I've got! Uh-huh!)
He almost pulled off the perfect lover's crime!
Except for the snapshot
That puts me on top (On top! Uh-huh!)
He thinks he's got one on me
But he hasn't seen, the snapshot
When he comes home tonight
It'll be his surprise
I had it blown up, life size! (Life size!)
I'm not quite as foolish, as you thought I'd be
I took everything
Including the snapshot
He don't know I've got (I've got! Uh-huh!)
He almost pulled off the perfect lover's crime!
Except for the snapshot
That puts me on top (On top! Uh-huh!)
He thinks he's got one on me
But he hasn't seen the snapshot
Except for the snapshot
He don't know I've got (I've got! Uh-huh!)
He almost pulled off the perfect lover's crime!
Except for the snapshot
That puts me on top (On top! Uh-huh!)
He thinks he's got one on me
But wait 'til he sees the snapshot!

Polichinelle (Edith Piaf)
Polichinelle
Composer(s): Charles Dumont; Jacques Plante
Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Ute Lemper
Tire les ficelles
Tire les ficelles
Ton polichinelle
Te tendras les bras
Tourne la baguette
Et ta marionnette
Penchera la tête
Et te sourira
Tant que tes doigts lestes
Commandent mes gestes
Tu te fous du reste
Ça ne compte pas
Tire les ficelles
Et Polichinelle
Aussitôt, fera
Ce que tu voudras
Tire les ficelles
Tire les ficelles
Ton polichinelle
Fera mille tours
Te dira "Je t'aime"
Cachera ses peines
Cachera sa haine
Sous les mots d'amour
J'irai dans le monde
Pour que toi, dans l'ombre
Tu aies le triomphe
Auquel tu as droit
Ton polichinelle
Fera tant de zèle
Que, dès qu'on nous verra
On t'applaudira
Sais-tu seulement
Si j'ai un cœur?
Sais-tu seulement
Si j'ai une âme?
C'est pas prévu dans ton programme
De prestidigitateur
Tire les ficelles
Tire les ficelles
De Polichinelle
Mais prends garde à toi
Car il est possible
Que je me délivre
Des fils invisibles
Qui m'attachent à toi
En brisant le charme
Je retrouve une âme
Je redeviens femme
Je redeviens moi...
Faut que t'en profites
On se lasse vite
Et le jour viendra
Où ça cassera...
Où ça cassera...
Où ça cassera...

Swiss Lady
Swiss Lady
Composer(s): Peter Reber
First performance by: Pepe Lienhard Band - 1977
Sie war ziemlich schlank
sie war gertenschlank
und manchmal nahm er sie aus seinem Schrank
dann machte er Musik und legte zärtlich die Hand um sie
Er spielte Rock'n'Roll
er spielte Dixieland
und war bekannt als die "One-man-mountain Band"
Er sagte: "Durch sie allein ist die Welt voll Musik
sie gibt mir alles und vergiát mich nie"
Sie ist meine Swiss Lady
und ich ein Mann aus den Bergen
und wer sie einmal gehört hat
der kann mich sicher versteh'n
Ja
sie ist meine Swiss Lady
und ich ein Mann aus den Bergen
und wer sie einmal gehört hat
weiá
nur ein Alphorn klingt so schön
Jahu
duhu
jahu
duhu
jahu Swiss Lady
Jahu Swiss Lady
jahu
Wenn er nach Hause kam
nahm er sie in den Arm
wo er sie liebevoll auseinandernahm
doch vorher spielte er nochmal im Dixiestil
Und sind in tiefer Nacht die Leute aufgewacht
und haben sich beschwert
dann hat er nur gelacht
Er sagte: "lch lad' euch ein
und wir feiern ein Fest
weil meine Lady noch nicht schlafen will"
Sie ist meine Swiss Lady
und ich ein Mann aus den Bergen
Jahu

Polaroid De La Locura Ordinaria
Performer(s): Fito Paez
bajo por el callejón
en donde estaba el
después vomito ese ron
manchando la pared
el sol le caí bien
entrando en la avenida
su vida no era mas su vida
pero eso estaba okey
La veo cruzar
cruzando un bosque
la veo alejándose de mi
Sus tetas y sus dos hermanas
tomaban un café
me acuerdo de la mañana
que me mostró su piel
estabamos en un bar
y se corto la cara
vibraba como en un nirvana
luego se hecho a correr
La veo cruzar
cruzando un bosque
la veo alejándose de mi
Pasábamos todo el día
tirados en la cama
el tiempo maldita daga
lamiéndonos los pies
brillaba era una perla
y nunca hacia nada
después dijo que me amaba
y se hundió la gillete
Sangro, sangro, sangro,
y se reía como loca
no he visto luz
ni fuerza viva tan poderosa
de todas ellas
ella fue mi frase mas hermosa
todo su cuerpo con espinas
y a mi me siguen las moscas

Portugal No Coração
Portugal No Coração
First performance by: Os Amigos - 1977
Portugal foi a razão
Por que um dia morreu meu irmão
Mas também é coração
A bater nesta canção
Não sei bem de quem eu nasci
Não descobri nem pai nem mãe
Só sei que já nasci aqui e foi aqui
Que eu fui alguém
Portugal foi a razão
Por que um dia morreu meu irmão
Mas também é coração
A bater nesta canção
Digo tudo quanto eu sou
Serei criança ou malmequer?
Tenho apenas o que eu dou
Este lugar que ninguém quer
Neste país onde estou
Serei tudo quando eu fizer
Este povo a que me dou
Não é homem nem mulher
Portugal é querer dar a mão
Sermos amigos, termos pão
Portugal é ter a vontade
De acabar com a saudade
Portugal já tem idade
Para o povo entender liberdade
Portugal é uma nação
Onde vive o meu irmão
Portugal, ai meu amor
Coração desta minha canção
Bate, bate coração
Para termos a vida melhor
Portugal, ai meu amor
Coração desta minha canção
Bate, bate coração
Para termos a vida melhor
Portugal, ai meu amor
Coração desta minha canção
Bate, bate coração
Para termos a vida melhor

Polar Bear
Polar Bear
Composer(s): Brian May; Tim Staffell
Performer(s): Queen
In the bright shop window sits the polar bear
Makes the children's eyes light up to see him there
Amongst the tinsel he gives everyone a smile
To see him as you'd see a star
Love him from where you are
He's not for, not for, not for sale
Past an open window walks the pretty girl
Does she see me at her feet it's hard to tell
But if I ask her she might turn her smile away
To see her as I'd see a star
Love her from where you are
She's not for, not for, not for sale
I guess I'll learn to look
Without a grasping hand
Minor contentment wears a smile
I love her from where I lie
He's not for, not for, not for sale
Not for sale
