Shoeshine Boy
Shoeshine Boy
Composer(s): Gerry Rafferty
Performer(s): Gerry Rafferty
Shoeshine boy, he’s makin’ his money workin’ dowtown on Main Street
Shoeshine boy, I know it ain’t funny cleanin’ everything on two feet
Get down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues away
It won’t be long ‘til Saturday night
and you’ll be dancin’ with your lady ‘til the break of day
Shoeshine boy, don’t have no ambition, just wants to be a kerbside boot black
Shoeshine boy, your daddy’s getting older, gotta take the weight off his back
Get down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues away
It won’t be long ‘til Saturday night
and you’ll be dancin’ with your lady ‘til the break of day
You know you feel so good when she comes to need you
And when you’re dancin’ together, you just can’t beat you
Get down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues away
It won’t be long ‘til Saturday night
and you’ll be dancin’ with your lady ‘til the break of day
You know you feel so good when she comes to need you
And when you’re dancin’ together, you just can’t beat you
Shoeshine boy, he’s makin’ his money workin’ dowtown on Main Street
Shoeshine boy, I know it ain’t funny cleanin’ everything on two feet
Get down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues away
It won’t be long ‘til Saturday night
and you’ll be dancin’ with your lady ‘til the break of day

The King Of Christmas
The King Of Christmas
Composer(s): Ron Bell; George Cochran
Performer(s): Ray Stevens
Well, it was 10 o'clock on Christmas Eve
I was wipein' eggnog on my sleeve
Tryin' hard to fight those Christmas blues
I went to bed,turned out the light
I woke up sometime around midnight
Thought I heard somebody singin' Blue Suede Shoes
Well, I got up and scratched my head
I know that voice,but who I said
Opened the window and looked outside
I saw nine raindeer parked out back
Hitched up to a long pink cadillac
They looked like they'd just finished one heck of a ride
Well, my hair stood up on the back of my neck
I went downstairs for one quick check
I just had to find out for myself
Well,he was big that much was true
But he looked like someone else I knew
Not like that white bearded,rosie cheeked old man
Oh, he's the King, The King of Christmas
(He's the king, the King of Christmas)
Alive and well and ridin' in his sleigh
And I just can't help believin'
Well those tabloids aint decivin'
Cuz the King of Christmas
Passed me on his way!
Now beneath his cap of jet black hair
And sideburns hangin' down to there
He wore a silver belt around his waist
Then with a swivel of his hip
He started to curl his upper lip
With a look that said Merry Christmas on his face
Then with a karate kick he whirled around
I saw him write something down
He took the note and he stuffed it in my sock
Then he put a record under the tree
Just before he turned to leave
He hummed a bit of Jailhouse Rock
Oh, he's the King, The King of Christmas
(He's the king, the King of Christmas)
Alive and well and ridin' in his sleigh
And I just can't help believin'
Well those tabloids aint decivin'
Cuz the King of Christmas
Passed me on his way!
Then he pulled up his collar and flipped back his hair
And disappeared into thin air
I saw the sequins glitter upon his coat
That 45 that he'd laid down was
Santa Claus Is Back In Town
And I played it while I read the words he wrote
I'll outlive rock and roll and postage stamps that say I'm dead
And at the bottom he signed his famous name
Well, some say the King was put to rest
But me and Santa, we know best
And I bet somewhere there's elves that'll say the same
Oh he's the King,the King of Christmas
(He's the king,the King of Christmas)
Alive and well and ridin' in his sleigh
And as I heard that sleigh rev and fly
Through the night there came a cry
Santa Claus has left the building!
Oh, he's the King, The King of Christmas
(He's the king, the King of Christmas)
Alive and well and ridin' in his sleigh
And I just can't help believin'
Well those tabloids aint decivin'
Cuz the King of Christmas
Passed me on his way!

Shoe Shine Boy
Shoe Shine Boy
Composer(s): Saul Chaplin; Sammy Cahn
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong
and multiple other artists
Though you haven't many toys
You don't envy any boys
Every day's a work day
Your work is just a game
I'd like to sing your praise
but I don't know your name
You're just a shoe shine boy
You work hard all day
Shoe shine boy
Got no time to play
Every nickel helps a lot
So shine, shine, shoe shine boy
You find joy in the things you do
Shoe shine boy seldom ever blue
You're content with what you've got
So shine, shine, shoe shine boy
People look at you with scorn
'cos your clothes are worn and torn
Still you never whine
You keep looking up and down the street
Pleading with each one you meet
Brother can you spare a shine
Oh, Shoe shine boy soon the day will come
Shoe shine boy soon a tune you'll hum
Every nickel helps a lot
So shine, shine, shoe shine boy
Shoe shine, shoe shine boy

The Hustle
The Hustle
Composer(s): Van McCoy
First release by: Van McCoy & The Soul City Symphony - 1975
Look here's a dance
So old it's new
'Cause trash disco is seventies cool
Like country line dance, to some it's fine
Sadly though, you gotta lose your mind
Get organized, discipline is fun
I want to encourage everyone
To coordinate your steps and clap
Avoid the individuality trap
Take a walk on the wild side
And the African-American women sing
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Express yourself
Is a wonderful thought
But right here, right now, please do not!
Specific moves fit the grooves
You got nothing more to prove
Coordinate your steps and clap
Avoid the individuality trap
Take a walk on the wild side
And the African-American women sing
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Hey!
Do it!
Everybody!
Everybody!
Hey!
Do the Hustle!
All the boys and all the girls
Doin' the Hustle
Do the Hustle
Everybody
Get up!
It's fun!
It's free!

First release by: Peter Gabriel - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out' the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey
Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
Wheels keep turning
Something's burning
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life

The Holly And The Ivy
The Holly And The Ivy
Composer(s): Cecil Sharp
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas Day in the morn
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly and the ivy
Now both are full well grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

The Hat I Got For Christmas Is Too Big
The Hat I Got For Christmas Is Too Big
Performer(s): Mel Blanc
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
It's nice, but my sombrero is too big
Is it raining, is it snowing, I can't see where I am going
`Cause the hat I got for Christmas is too big
But ring the bells and beat the drum
Ring the bells and beat the drum
I'll ring the bells to ??? for light
But if I see that Santé Claus I'm going to start a fight
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
Oh, it's nice, but my sombrero is too big
If you wonder why I shiver, I'll tell three times in the river
`Cause the hat I got for Christmas is too big
But ring the bells and beat the drum
Ring the bells and beat the drum
I'll ring the bells, but I feel sick
`Cause Mr. Santé Claus you played on me a dirty trick
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
It's nice, but my sombrero is too big
If you think it's hot in Siam, you should be in here where I am
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
It's nice, but my sombrero is too big
Can't tell one thing from another, I got married to my brother
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
But ring the bells and beat the drum
Ring the bells and beat the drum
I'll ring the bells and say: "Olé"
But Mr. Señor Santé Claus you spoiled my holiday
Porqué socce sombrero grande Santé Claus?

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

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

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 and I just might stop on by
I'm Santa's spy!

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

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

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

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 ...
