I'm The Urban Spaceman
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

A Mom's Night Before Christmas
A Mom's Night Before Christmas
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
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
I'm the toughest
I'm the toughest
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'm the toughest
I'm the toughest
Now my brothers
You've got to be good
Just do what you know is right
Don't be bad minded
Just take what's yours
And there'll be no fuss or fight
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
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

N'a pas fait d'effort
Jusqu'à ce jour
Ne te désole pas!

Allez, viens!
Tu verras que dans le monde
Il y a, chaque seconde
Des plus malheureux que toi
Allez, viens!

A gardé un peu d'eau pure
Et des fruits, rien que pour toi
Toi qui n'as pas de chance
Oui, toi qui n'as plus confiance
Ecoute-moi
Car la providence
Est avec toi
Mais tu ne la vois pas
Regarde-moi!
Allez, viens!
Tu verras quoi qu'on en dise
Que la vie a des surprises
Quand on ne s'y attend pas
Allez, viens!
Tu verras que la jeunesse
Est la plus grande richesse
Que l'on possède ici-bas

Pour avoir ce que l'on souhaite
Il faut faire les premiers pas

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
And the only man on the island is me

A Great And Mighty Wonder
Composer(s): St. Germanus; John M. Neale
A great and mighty wonder
A full and holy cure
The Virgin bears the Infant
With virgin honor purel
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"
The Word becomes incarnate
And yet remains on high
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds from the sky
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"
While thus they sing your Monarch
Those bright angelic bands
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains
Ye oceans, clap your hands
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"
Since all He comes to ransom
By all be He adored
The Infant born in Bethl'em
The Savior and the Lord
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men"
And idol forms shall perish
And error shall decay
And Christ shall wield His scepter
Our Lord and God for aye
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"

I'm The One
Composer(s): Kira Roessler; Henry Rollins
Performer(s): Black Flag
I was looking for a lover
Living underneath the sun
I thought I was the other
When I knew I was the one
Caught a handle on the rising sun
Took a day to rise and fall
At the end of the trail I was scarred and burned
But I felt no pain at all
Walking through a world of lies
With a heart made out of stone
I looked deep into my eyes
And I knew I was alone
I'm a son of a son
I'm the son of the sun
My death trip
Has just begun

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

Composer(s): Lew Brown; Harry Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Kay Starr
and multiple other artists
I'm the lonesomest gal in town
Everybody has thrown me down
I got no angel child to ever call me dear
Got no honey man to ever cuddle near
But I'm learnin' to roll my eyes
And someday you may be surprised
When I steal someone's lovin' man
And kiss him with a smack
I'll hug him and I'll squeeze him
But I'll never give him back
`Cos I`m lonesome, so very lonesome
I'm the lonesomest gal in this here town
If you read in the papers some day
That some poor girl has passed away
Don't shed a tear if you should hear
That gal was me, and if you see
My picture in the paper with a smile on my face
I was broken hearted, that smile was out of place
If you wanna save a gal from her grave
Find me a man if you can
I'm the lonesomest gal in town
Everybody is throwin' me down
I got no angel child to ever call me dear
Got no honey man to ever cuddle near
But I'm learnin', I'm gonna roll my eyes
And someday you're gonna be surprised
When I steal someone's lovin' man
And kiss him with a smack
I'll hug him and I'll squeeze him
But I'll never give him back
`Cos I`m lonesome, so very lonesome
I'm the lonesomest gal in this or any other town

Eyes Without A Face
Composer(s): Billy Idol; Steve Stevens
Performer(s): Billy Idol;
and various other artists
I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face
When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse
