Ku-Klux-Klan


Ku-Klux-Klan
Composer(s): Claude Moine; P. Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Y avait de la bière, des hot-dogs
du ketchup dans l'hamburger
Mais pas d'hommes de couleur, non, non, non
Ça se voulait kermesse sympa
Des gosses, des tombolas
Mais qu'est-ce que j'foutais là?
Dans la bouche y avait le goût des moules
Peut-être parce que j'avais pas de cagoule
C'est dur si t'es pas militant
De te retrouver dans le Ku Klux Klan
Y avait un orchestre country qui jouait des trucs fifites
J'me sentais bien bluesy, oui, oui, oui
Y avait des colts, des shotguns
Jusqu'à c'qu'une tarte aux pommes prenne goût à mon chewing-gum, mum, mum
Leur prêtre c'est le Grand Dragon
Leur maître à penser, leur patron
Il prêche pour le pouvoir blanc
C'est l'orateur du Ku Klux Klan
Les juifs, les noirs
Avec eux n'ont aucun espoir
Il faut être blanc
Pas catholique mais protestant
Pour le Ku Klux Klan
J'regardais brûler des croix
Le nez dans mon Coca
Qu'était chaud, j'étais froid
J'ai repéré la sortie
J'me suis fait tout petit
Disparu dans la nuit
Touriste en Alabama
C'est sûr on ne m'y reprendra pas
Y a trop de facho dans ce pays
Où même l'alcool est interdit
Les juifs, les noirs
Avec eux n'ont aucun espoir
Il faut être blanc
Pas catholique mais protestant
Dans le Ku Klux Klan
Y avait de la bière, des hot-dogs, du ketchup dans l'hamburger
Mais pas d'hommes de couleur, non, non, non
Ça se voulait kermesse sympa
Des gosses, des tombolas
Mais qu'est-ce que j'foutais là?
Y avait un orchestre country qui jouait des trucs fifites
J'me sentais bien bluesy, oui, oui, oui
Y avait des colts, des shotguns
Jusqu'à c'qu'une tarte aux pommes prenne goût à mon chewing-gum, mum, mum

Tumbalalaika


Tumbalalaika

Shteyt a bocher un er tracht
Tracht un tracht a gantse nacht
Vemen tsu nemen un nit farshemen?
Vemen tsu nemen un nit farshemen?

Tum-bala, tum-bala, tum-balalaika
Tum-bala, tum-bala, tum-balalaika
Tum-balalaika, shpil balalaika

Vos kon benken, benken on trern?

Tum-bala, tum-bala, tum-balalaika
Tum-bala, tum-bala, tum-balalaika
Tum-balalaika, shpil balalaika

A harts kon benken, veynen on trern

Tum-bala, tum-bala, tum-balalaika
Tum-bala, tum-bala, tum-balalaika
Tum-balalaika, shpil balalaika
Tum-balalaika, freylik zol zayn

Promise That You'll Wed Me


Promise That You'll Wed Me
Composer(s): D.A. Norton; Robert E. Whittemore
Performer(s): Helene Mora



I have a little maiden young and fair
Her voice is like a gentle summer breeze
For other girls, alas! I do not care
But her my one ambition is to please

We quarreled, but I met her beneath the starry skies
That she'd forgive me not, I was afraid
But as I begged forgiveness, a light shone in her eyes
That encouraged me, and then to her I said

Oh, my sweetheart, I love you
Give me your promise, darling, believe me, for I will be true
Don't cast me aside, dear, whate'er you may do
Promise that you'll wed me, for I love but you

Oh, tell me do you love me as of old
Is there love in your pure heart for me
Sweetheart, as your little hand I hold
So you hold my future destiny

Oh, do not keep me waiting, but whisper "I love you"
As I spoke thus, my sweetheart softly sighed
And as she gently whispered in these words so sweet and true
To all my vows of love she then replied

Oh, my sweetheart, I love you
I'll gladly wed you, dearest, believe me, I speak but those true
Sweet words that come in love from my heart
Wed me, and in life we nevermore shall part

Kung Fu Fighting


Kung Fu Fighting
Composer(s): Carl Douglas
Performer(s): Carl Douglas; The Drifters;
Bus Stop; La Muerte



Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
For they fought with expert timing

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and a-kicking from the hip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
For they fought with expert timing

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
Make sure you have expert timing

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Kung-fu fighting
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Had to be fast as lightning

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Keep on....keep on....keep on
Oh-oh-oh-oh....Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh........Fade

Hoogtij


Hoogtij
((Adapted from: End Of The Line (Traveling Wilburys) - 1988))
Composer(s): George Harrison - Roy Orbison - Bob Dylan - Tom Petty - Jeff Lynne - Bart Herman
Performer(s): Willy Sommers - 2007



Het is hoogtij
wanneer de vloed het hoogste staat
Het is hoogtij
wanneer je hart het snelste slaat
Het is hoogtij
in elke vezel van je lijf
Het is hoogtij
en weet je met jezelf geen blijf

Was het te lastig, ging alles weer e's veel te traag
((laat je niet gaan))
Was het oervervelend, zag je weer e's niemand graag
((laat je niet gaan))
Was je bloeddruk hoog en dan weer veel te laag
((laat je niet gaan))
dan toch niet vandaag

Want het is hoogtij
tijd om uit de bol te gaan
Het is hoogtij
niemand kan het weerstaan
Het is hoogtij
door het toedoen van de maan
is het hoogtij
zijn al je zorgen van de baan

Was het niet wat je noemt je beste week
((laat je niet gaan))
Liet iedereen of toch bijna je weer e's in de steek
((laat je niet gaan))
Kom dan hier naartoe en ook al heb je motorpech
((laat je niet gaan))
blijf maar onderweg

Want het is hoogtij
je problemen zijn in een wip geflikt
Het is hoogtij
je wordt zó door iemand opgebiept
Het is hoogtij
iedereen komt recht hierheen
Het is hoogtij
we laten je toch niet alleen

En ook al was het zoals je zegt je dagje niet
((laat je niet gaan))
Het leven is geen dal vol tranen en verdriet
((laat je niet gaan))
Sla nu maar meteen linksaf en maak een rechtsomkeer
((laat je niet gaan))
zo zie je weer

Want het is hoogtij
dan kunnen we niet zonder jou
Het is hoogtij
vergeet die zorgen nu maar gauw
Het is hoogtij
we willen dat je mee geniet
Het is hoogtij
haast je maar en mis het niet
Het is hoogtij
alles komt weer op z'n plooi
Het is hoogtij
het leven wordt weer even mooi
Het is hoogtij
vergeet wat ooit is geweest
Het is hoogtij
vanavond is het enkel feest

I Went To Your Wedding


I Went To Your Wedding
Composer(s): Jessie Mae Robinson
Performer(s): Patti Page
and multiple other artists



I went to your wedding
Although I was dreading
The thought of losing you
The organ was playing
My poor heart kept saying
My dreams, my dreams are through

You came down the aisle
Wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh
And then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness

Your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you

You came down the aisle
Wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh
And then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness

Oh, your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you

Kungens Vaktparad


Kungens Vaktparad
English Title: The King's Changing Of The Guard
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Många går och drömmer, önskar sej nåt visst
Några kanske får det som dom vill till sist
Ni ska få höra om en liten grabb jag vet
Han ville helst av allt ha en trumpet

När han fyllde ät ta, fick han sitt paket
Och där låg hans fina blänkande trumpet
Han blåste hela dan tills han blev trött och varm
Och somna med trumpeten på sin arm

Då drömde han att han marscherade
Så stolt i kungens vaktparad
Och fanor fladdrade i solens sken
Och folket stod i rad pårad

Då drom:mde han att han marscherade
Gick främst i kungens vaktparad
Och folket hurrade och kungen log
Och sä "Han är en stolthet för vår stad"

Sen när han blev äldre, växte upp till man
Fick han göra lumpen, kriga för sitt land
Men när befälet vråla halt och skrek givakt
Då gick hans tankar i en annan takt

Då drömde han att han marscherade
Så stolt i kungens vaktparad
Och fanor fladdrade i solens sken
Och folket stod i rad pårad

Då drom:mde han att han marscherade
Gick främst i kungens vaktparad
Och folket hurrade och kungen log
Och sä "Han är en stolthet för vår stad"

Tulsa Time


Tulsa Time
Composer(s): Danny Flowers
First release: Don Williams - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists



I left Oklahoma driving in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was going on to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where all the people live so fine
My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was going to show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more schooling
I was born to just walk the line

Living on Tulsa time
Living on Tulsa time
Well you know I've been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Living on Tulsa time

Well there I was in Hollywood wishing I was doing good
Talking on the telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wasting time
Well then I got to thinking, man I'm really sinking
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving and nobody would be grieving
If I went on back to Tulsa time

Living on Tulsa time
Living on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I've been through it
Living on Tulsa time

I Wasn't The One (Who Said Goodbye)


I Wasn't The One (Who Said Goodbye)
Composer(s): Mark Mueller; Aaron Zigman
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Peter Cetera



Your eyes and my eyes haven't talked in quite a while
Seems like a lifetime since I walked beside your smile
There's a dark cloud that's hanging above
Memories never lie, still we talk about the way that it was
And I think we both know the feelings haven't died

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try

Your touch and my touch haven't spoken for some time
You say we've both changed and you're always on my mind
Always on my mind... I can tell you that it's over and done
But I would only lose being close to the one that I want
So go on, and ask me if I'm still in love with you

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try

No, there was no need for you to ask
Oh please don't ask
You ought to know by now
Oh babe, I want you back

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night ...

Kussen Onder Regenbogen


Kussen Onder Regenbogen
Composer(s): Bradtke; Bruhn; Louis Baret
Performer(s): Ann Christy



Kussen onder regenbogen brengen geluk
En doen je hart sneller slaan
Kussen onder regenbogen doen stuk voor stuk
Oprechte liefde ontstaan

Als wij de zon zien zijn wij verblijd
Maar als het regent terzelfdertijd
Zijn wij nog eens zo blij en zien omhoog
Want wij verlangen een regenboog

Kussen onder regenbogen brengen geluk
En doen je hart sneller slaan
Kussen onder regenbogen doen stuk voor stuk
Oprechte liefde ontstaan

't Is net een sprookje voor jou en mij
Nooit krijgt een ander ons hart nog vrij
Ik heb ervan gedroomd en heb gewacht
Totdat de regenboog mij antwoord bracht

Kussen onder regenbogen brengen geluk
En doen je hart sneller slaan
Kussen onder regenbogen doen stuk voor stuk
Oprechte liefde ontstaan
Oprechte liefde ontstaan

Tulsa Queen


Tulsa Queen
Composer(s): Emmylou Harris - Rodney Crowell
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris



I heard the train
In the Tulsa night
Calling out my name
Looking for a fight
She's come a long, long way
Got a longer way to go
So tell me how a train from Tulsa
Has got a right to know
She sings a song
So sad and high
And the Tulsa Queen
Don't ever lie
And she don't care where she goes
Don't care where she's been
And the Tulsa Queen ain't crying
'Cause I won't see you again
Hey Hey Hey
And I want to ride
Like a Tulsa Queen
Calling out to you
As she calls to me
As far away from Tulsa
As these ten wheels can be
Lately I speak
Your name too loud
Each time it comes up
In a crowd
And I know it when I do
The Tulsa Queen and you
Are gone...

I Wasn't Born In Tennessee


I Wasn't Born In Tennessee
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Performer(s): Chip Taylor



Got my four pedal streel player
Jimmy's got his fiddle makin' like it was his own world
Got them city hillbillies an' them green-eyed fillies
Lookin' up at me like I was Merle
An' if we can't fool 'em all the time
It's all right with me
'Cause it's still my song, ain't nothin' wrong
An' I wasn't born in Tennessee

I was seven an' ten years an' hidin' my fears
Behind the sound of a steel guitar
Though the city was rockin', we was country
Sockin' it to 'em at a Mount Burnham bar
Them city folks, we was doin' our strokes
And that don't qualify me
I'll be back again, you remember then
That I wasn't born in Tennessee

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on LSD
An' we don't burn our draft cards down on main street, by golly
We like livin' right an' bein' free

I heard old Hag singin' about doin' his thing
An' I was proud of the things that he'd done
An' how them San Fran hippies an' them L.A. yippies
Ain't changin' that Okie none
But with every show, I see his sideburns grow
An' there's hair where his face used to be
An' in a year or so, you may never know
That I wasn't born in Tennessee

Pick it, John

I keep pushin' my ballpoint an' doin' a joint
Tryin' to get these words to rhyme
An' it'll be my pride if I can hide
My side of the Mason-Dixon line
But if that don't play your party
Honey, it's all right with me
'Cause I've got my dream waitin' just upstream
An' I wasn't born in Tennessee

Here we go

Got my four pedal streel player
Jimmy's got his fiddle makin' like it was his own world
Got them city hillbillies an' them green-eyed fillies
Lookin' up at me like I was Merle
An' if we can't fool 'em all the time
It's all right with me
'Cause it's still my song, ain't nothin' wrong
An' I wasn't born
(Wasn't born)
On a farm
(On a farm)
I never knew a horse I didn't wager on
I wasn't born in Tennessee

Ku-u-i-po I love you more today
More today than yesterday
But I love you less today
Less than I will tomorrow

See the sweet Hawaiian rose
See it blossom see it grow
That's the story of our love
Ever since we said hello

As the years go passing by
We'll recall our wedding day
I will be there by your side
You will always hear me say

Ku-u-i-po, you're my Hawaiian sweetheart

I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water


I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water
French Title: Je Me Suis Lavé Les Mains Dans Une Eau Sale - 1966
Composer(s): Joe Babcock
First release by: Stonewall Jackson - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I was born in Macon, Georgia
They kept my Daddy in the Macon jail
He said, Son, if you keep your hands clean, uh huh
You wont hear those bloodhounds on your trail

I fell in with bad companions
I robbed a man up in Tennessee
And I got caught way up in Nashville, uh huh now
And they locked me up and threw away the key

I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands, but they didnt come clean
I tried to do like my daddy told me, now
I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

I asked the jailer, said Whens my time up?
He said Son, you know we wont forget
And if you try and just keep your hands clean, uh huh
Why we may just make a good man of you yet

But I didnt wait to get my time in
I broke down, broke out the Nashville jail
I just crossed Atlanta, Georgia, oh now
And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail

I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands, but they didnt come clean
I tried to do like my daddy told me, now
I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream

When it's Spring again I'll bring again
Tulips from Amsterdam
With a heart thats true I'll give to you

For the day I know we can share these

Please Mr. Brown


Please Mr. Brown
Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Don Raye
Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan



Please Mr. Brown
Take it easy you’re spoiling my gown
Oh I know music brings out that yearning
But right now you’re learning to tango

Please Mr. Jones
Not so tight you are crushing my bones
I’ll just bet you’re an expert on wooing
But right now we’re doing a tango

You boys, in spite of all the dancing lessons you bought
Out on the dance floor, have but one school of thought
And that is anything but what my dancing teacher taught

Please Mr. Smith
It’s a lady that you’re dancing with
There’s a time and a place for romancing
But not while we’re dancing the tango

Now you guys are just a bunch of wolves in ivy league clothes
Think as long as music’s playing anything goes
No one who wants a fellow wants a slow one
But I’m a gal who wants to know one
Who knows what every lady knows

Please Mr. Smith
It’s a lady that you’re dancing with
There’s a time and a place for romancing
But not while we’re dancing
The tango

Kyrie (Mr. Mister)


Kyrie
Composer(s): Steve George; Lang; Page
Performer(s): Mr. Mister



The wind blows hard against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches in to where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road
My heart is old it holds my memories
My body burns a gemlike flame
Somewhere between the soul & soft machine
Is where I find myself again

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison
On a highway in the light

When I was young I thought of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Or only wished what I could be

Tulips And Heather


Tulips And Heather
Composer(s): Milton Carson
Performer(s): Perry Como
and multiple other artists



The spray of tulips and heather tied up together
I sent my love today
A spray of tulips and heather, asking her whether
Love’s dream had gone astray
For there’s a meaning to all the flowers
They tell the story that never lies
This purple heather means lonely hours
And tulips weep for a love that dies
And so I pray when they reach you
If they can teach you all that is in my heart
My spray of tulips and heather bring us together
Never again to part

(For there’s a meaning)
My tulips and heather
(To all the flowers)
Are tied up together
(They tell you a story)
They tell you a tale
That never lies
(This purple heather)
This beautiful heather
(Means lonely hours)
Means lonely forever
(And tulips weep for)
These tulips convey
A love that dies

And so I pray when they reach you
If they can teach you all that is in my heart
My spray of tulips and heather bring us together
Never again to part
My darling, never again to part
