Road To Morocco
Road To Morocco
((aka (We're Off On The) Road To Morocco))
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists
We're off on the road to Morocco
This camel is tough on the spine (hit me with a band-aid, Dad)
Where they're goin', why we're goin', how can we be sure
I'll lay you eight to five that we'll meet Dorothy Lamour (yeah, get in line)
Off on the road to Morocco
Hang on till the end of the line (I like your jockey. Quiet)
I hear this country's where they do the dance of the seven veils
We'd tell you more (uh-ah) but we would have the censor on our tails (good boy)
We certainly do get around
Like Webster's Dictionary we're Morocco bound
We're off on the road to Morocco
Well look out, well clear the way, 'cause here we come
Stand by for a concussion
The men eat fire, sleep on nails and saw their wives in half
It seems to me there should be easier ways to get a laugh
(shall I slip on my big shoes?)
Off on the road to Morocco
Hooray! Well blow a horn, everybody duck
Yeah. it's a green light, come on boys
We may run into villains but we're not afraid to roam
Because we read the story and we end up safe at home (yeah)
Certainly do get around
Like Webster's Dictionary we're Morocco bound
We certainly do get around
Like a complete set of Shakespeare that you get
in the corner drugstore for a dollar ninety-eight
We're Morocco bound
Or, like a volume of Omar Khayyam that you buy in the
department store at Christmas time for your cousin Julia
We're Morocco bound
(we could be arrested)

Have you ever been driving down the road
And come up on a fella who was just poking along
Straddlin' the white line

Well me and my buddy went a ridin' last night

He passed us a goin' bout a hundred I guess
And then he slowed down to twenty or less

I tooted my horn and I started to pass
I blinked my lights and I started to pass
And then that Road Hog stepped on the gas
Road Hog beep beep do do do do
Road Hog beep beep do do do do
You'd better get him up some money for bail
You'd better get him up some money for bail
Cause tomorrow morning he will be in jail
Road Hog beep beep do do do do

The boys will have him in the morning behind bars
The boys will have him in the morning behind bars
Cause I'm the County Sheriff in my unmarked car ha ha ha

And pals though we may be
When some latin baby
Says yes, no, or maybe
Each man is for himself!

Guitars here beside us
To play as we go

We shout 'aye caramba'!
What means aye caramba?

The Three B's
The Three B's
Composer(s): Hugh Martin - Ralph Blane
Performer(s): June Allyson, Victoria Schools & Nancy Walker
and multiple other artists
Gloria:
I never wanna hear Johann Sebastian Bach
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

(Row, row, row your boat, up the river St. Lawrence)
(Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering) Hollering for Florence (Row your boat)
I left the one I love on one of the Thousand Islands (Row, row your boat)
But unfortunately I can't remember which one
So I row, row, row, row up the river St. Lawrence
And I'm hollerin' Florence, oh! where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)
I wouldn't be so lost up here on the Thousand Islands (Row, row, your boat)
If we only had met down on the Isle of Capri
Now I just can't find the place you marked on the post card
Call the Navy and Coast Guard
Oh! where, where can you be?
(Where, oh, where, where, oh, where can she be?)
Mustn't take a nap, gotta watch the map
That was Island seven-ninety-three
Row from shore to shore, knock on every door
How many Thousand Islands can there be?
I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat up the River St. Lawrence
Hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering, hollering for Florence)
I better find you soon 'cause I see a thousand row boats (Row, row your boat)
And the fellers inside look mighty lonesome to me
When they row, row, row, row up the River St. Lawrence
They're all hollerin' "Florence, oh! where can you be?"
(Row, row, your boat) Hey Florence (Row, row your boat)
Hey Florence! Hey Florence! Hey Florence!
Hey Flowie! You're harder to find than Chloe!

How glad they're goin' to be to have your company

They're going to greet you with a smile
You'll be itchin', you'll be itchin' to get around the kitchen

Because I wrote them all about you
Now I can't go home without you
Don't be bashful come on to Nashville
Come on to Nashville, Tennessee
