I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones)


I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones)
Performer(s): Billy Cotton



Standing by the fruit stall on the corner
Once I heard a customer complain
You never seem to show the fruit we all love so
That’s why business hasn’t been the same

I don’t like your peaches
They are full of stones
But I like bananas
Because they have no bones

Bo-de-o-don’t give me tomatoes
Cant’ stand ice cream cones
But I like bananas
Because they have no bones

No matter where I go
With Susie, May or Anna
I want the world to know
I must have my banana

Cabbages and onions
Hurt my singing tones
But I like bananas
Because they have no bones

Now I don’t care for muffins
I don’t like buttered scones
Ah but I like bananas
Because they have no bones

I don’t like giggling flappers
I don’t like ancient crones
Ah but I like bananas
Because they have no bones

In fig leaves and bearskins
Which you girls often sip on
Why not have banana skins
They’re easy things to slip on

I can’t bear tax collectors
Especially one who phones
Ah but I like bananas
Because they have no bones

I don’t like a crooner
Of the blues he moans
But we like bananas
Because they have no bones

I don’t like politicians
They’re human gramophones
We like bananas
Because they have no bones

I never cared for drink
To me it seems so sinful
Though when you come to think
Bananas get a skinful

I don’t like the bagpipes
And I can’t stand saxophones
We like bananas
Because they have no bones

Jungle Queen


Jungle Queen
Composer(s): Maurice Vallet; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Du fond de ma banlieue
Au métro Richelieu
Je cavale après toi
J'ai sorti ma boussole
Et j'avance tout seul
Dans ma tête un projet
Qui me sert de passeport
Les chemins de ton corps
C'est ma route de l'or

Jungle queen
Jungle queen
Jungle queen

Je sais qu't'es bien gardée
Entre tes grands gorilles
Ton Tarzan gominé
Et tous les crocodiles
Qui pour toi
Tous les singes, tous les lions
Les tribus d'la nation
Et tous ceux qui m'appellent
L'idiot de la forêt

Jungle queen
Jungle queen
Jungle queen
Tu danseras pour moi
J'veux monter dans les lianes de tes bras
Je t'aurai pour moi
J'veux dormir dans les arbres de tes bras

Jungle queen
Jungle queen
Jungle queen

Les pièges sont tendus
Ma piste est minée
J'entends bien le tam-tam
Tu vas bientôt danser
Devant tous tes esclaves
Tu vas faire tous les jeux
L'amour la mort la femme
Moi j'vais foutre le feu
À toute cette forêt

Jungle queen
Jungle queen
Jungle queen

Je t'aurai pour moi Jungle queen
Tu régneras pour moi Jungle queen
Je t'aurai pour moi Jungle queen
Tu régneras pour moi Jungle queen

Danse, danse pour moi
Jungle queen, danse Jungle queen

Tororó


Tororó
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Eu fui no Tororó
Beber água, não achei
Achei bela morena
Que no Tororó deixei
Pra que, morena
Ah, pra que carinho
Ah, pra que desejo
Pra acabar sozinho

Antes da mulher
Era o homem só
Era sem querer
Era sem amor
Era sem penar
Era sem suor
Era sem mulher
Era bem melhor

Deus fez a fêmea e depois
Que ela encorpou, nunca mais
Que um mais um foram dois
E caíram de quatro os animais
E tome praga no arroz
Rebelião nos currais
Ficou o homem feroz
E estranhou seus iguais

Antes da mulher
Era um dissabor
Era um desprazer
Que fazia dó
Homem sem mulher
Era quase um pó
Que ficava em pé
Era um saco só

Dentro da fêmea Deus pôs
Lagos e grutas, canais
Carnes e curva e cós
Seduções e pecados infenais
Em nome dela, depois
Criou perfumes, cristais
O campo de girassóis
E as noites de paz

I Lift Up My Finger And I Say "Tweet Tweet"


I Lift Up My Finger And I Say "Tweet Tweet"
Performer(s): Leslie Sarony



I lift up my finger and I say
"Tweet tweet, shush shush, now now, come come!"
I don't need to linger when I say
"Tweet tweet, shush shush, now now, come come!"

When the baby screams and scatters my dreams
Do I start to sing or hum?
No! I lift up my finger and I say
"Tweet tweet, shush shush, now now, come come!"

Jungle Love


Jungle Love
Composer(s): Greg Douglass; Lonnie Turner
Performer(s): The Steve Miller Band;
and various other artists



I met you on somebody's island
You thought you had known me before
I brought you a crate of papaya
They waited all night by your door
You probably wouldn't remember
I probably couldn't forget
Jungle love in the surf in the pouring rain
Everything's better when wet

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

But lately you live in the jungle
I never see you alone
But we need some definite answers
So I thought I would write you a poem
The question to everyone's answer
Is usually asked from within
But the patterns of the rain
And the truth they contain
Have written my life on your skin

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

You treat me like I was your ocean
You swim in my blood when it's warm
My cycles of circular motion
Protect you and keep you from harm
You live in a world of illusion
Where everything's peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

Torna piccina mia
Torna dal tuo papà
Egli ti aspetta sempre
Con ansietà

Tra le tue braccia, amore
Egli ti stringerà

Sei tutta la mia vita
Tutto tu sei per me
Certo sarà finita
Se resto senza te, amore

I Let Her Go


I Let Her Go
Composer(s): Hal Blair; Don Robertson
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



Once I had everything that heaven has known within my arms
And in that time I held a love close to my heart
And when I kissed her
I was warm

I knew the ecstacy that comes
From capturing a storm
But then how was I to know
And I let her go

I touched the innocence of lips
That had never known desire
And when I kissed them
I was trusted with a heart that I had once set afire

I felt emotion deep inside
More than passion could inspire
But then how was I to know
And I let her go

Now I stand on the brink
Of a world that's so dreary and black
And I won't even pray
For I know that I can't go back

So as a king must fall with nothing left at all
On my knees I'll bow, I'm so very humble now
For it's too late, I know it's too late
Much too late

I saw the emptiness of saying goodbye
Within her eyes
It would have been all so much better if she cursed me
But she never even cried

Torn by the careless hands of love
Something beautiful had died
But then how was I to know
I let her go

Torn Between Two Lovers


Torn Between Two Lovers
Composer(s): Peter Yarrow - Phillip Jarrel
Performer(s): Mary MacGregor
and multiple other artists



There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind
Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt
Before I say another world let me tell you:

I love you
Let me hold you close and say these words as gently as I can
There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved
But that doesn't mean I love you less
And he knows he can't possess me
And he knows he never will
There's just this empty place inside of me
That only he can fill

Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

You mustn't think you failed me
Just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had
And all the things I ever said I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you

Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

I couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside I'm asking you to stay

Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules...

I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart


I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart
Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Irving Mills; Henry Nemo; John Redmond
First release by: Duke Ellington and His Orch. - 1938
Covered by multiple other artists



I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song

Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong

Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends

I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day

I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day

Junge, Komm Bald Wieder


Junge, Komm Bald Wieder
Composer(s): Lotar Olias; Walter Rothenburg
Performer(s): Freddy Quinn;
Heidi Kabel; Mantovani



Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus
Ich mach mir Sorgen, Sorgen um Dich
Denk auch an morgen, denk auch an mich
Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus

Wohin die Seefahrt mich im Leben trieb
ich weiß noch heute, was mir Mutter schrieb
in jedem Hafen kam ein Brief an Bord
und immer schrieb sie: “Bleib’ nicht so lange fort!”

Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus

Ich weiß noch, wie die erste Fahrt verlief
ich schlich mich heimlich fort, als Mutter schlief
Als sie erwachte, war ich auf dem Meer
Im ersten Brief stand: “Komm doch bald wieder her!”

Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus
Ich mach mir Sorgen, Sorgen um Dich
Denk auch an morgen, denk auch an mich
Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus

Torn And Frayed


Torn And Frayed
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
First recording/First release: The Rolling Stones - 1971/1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Hey let him follow you down
Way underground wind and he's bound
Bound to follow you down
Just a dead beat right off the street
Bound to follow you down
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites
On stage the band has got problems
They're a bag of nerves on first nights
He ain't tied down to no home town
Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless

And his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Let it steal your heart away

Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it
Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies
Who's gonna help him to kick it

Well his coat is torn and frayed
It`s seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Let it steal your heart away

I Left My Heart In San Francisco


I Left My Heart In San Francisco
Composer(s): George C. Cory Jr.; Douglass Cross
Performer(s): Tony Bennett - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists



The loveliness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome
Is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm coming home to my city by the bay

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars!
The morning fog may chill the air

I don't care

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me!

Keith Strickland; Cindy Wilson
Performer(s): The B-52's



She's the wildest hon in the wild kingdom
She's the wildest thang to float down
Well there's alligators and razorbacks
But I don't care, I like to go down tubin' with you, Junebug
When Junebug floats down and yells "Hey!"
Even the razorbacks get outta her way
Ya know what I mean?

The mouth of the river is laughing at us, Junebug
You know wh at I'm talking about
Junebug, Junebug, Junebug, Junebug

On the wildest run in the wild kingdom
She's the wildest thang to float down!
Well there's snakes and snappers on cypress knees
So come on down, I like to play in the water with you, Junebug
Well don't you listen to what they say
'Cause we're a little different anyway
Ain't it the truth!

Let's glide behind a wall of vegetation; no prying eyes on
A love celebration!
Let's glide behind that wall of vegetation
I don't want no prying eyes when I give you a love sensation!
The mouth of the river is laughing at us, Junebug, Junebug

Hey there Junebug, you sure look good danci ng in the mud...
In the red mud!
Mosquitoes and water moccasins, 'gators and crocodiles
June's imagination really drives me wild!

Go Girl Go Girl Go Girl Go!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
Let's get in the mud, I think I'm in love!
Junebug! Go Go Go Junebug Go Go Go Junebug!

Si alguna vez pudieras saber
que eres tú mi tormento
lo que tú me haces a mí
ya no tiene perdón

Pues si te quiero besar
me envenenan tus besos
porque tú siembras el mal
sobre mi corazón

Quisiera que no fueras así
que tuvieras otra alma
que no me hicieras sufrir
pero no puede ser

Y yo no te he de olvidar
porque no puedo
mejor me muero
que dejarte de amar

Quisiera que no fueras así
que tuvieras otra alma
que no me hicieras sufrir
pero no puede ser

Y yo no te he de olvidar
porque no puedo
mejor me muero
que dejarte de amar

I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Earl Oxford
and multiple other artists



Old Mister Absent-Minded, that's me
Just as forgetful as I can be
I've got the strangest sort of a mind
I'm always leaving something behind

I left my heart at the Stage Door Canteen
I left it there with a girl named Eileen

I kept her serving doughnuts
Till all she had were gone
I sat there dunking doughnuts
Till she caught on

I must go back to the army routine
And every doughboy knows what that will mean

A soldier boy without a heart
Has two strikes on him from the start
And my heart's at the Stage Door Canteen

Just give me a June night
The moonlight and you in my arms with all your charms
The moon above and we'll make love
I'll hold you in full view
Our dreams will come true

Just give me a June night
The moonlight and you
Give me a June night
Give me the moonlight
But mostly give me you

And when you're in my arms
With all your charms and the moon above
We're gonna make love, love, love
I'll hold you, hold you, and hold you
Then each little dream that we're dreaming will come true

Just give me a June night
The moonlight and you
Gotta have you, under the moon
Give me a June night

"Torero"
Tu pierdi 'o suonno
'ncoppa i giornaletti
e mammeta minaccia
e patitta s'arraggia
te fanno gira' a capa sti fumetti
guardando dint'o specchio
vuoi fare il toreador
come fanno a Santa Fe'
come fanno ad Hollywood
e cu sta scusa oi nun studi cchiu'
Ue Torero
te si piazzato
in capo stu sombrero
e dici ca si spagnolo
e nun e' o'vero
chee nacchere 'nta' sacca
va' a balla mescolando
bolero ca 'a samba e 'o cha cha cha
Torero cu sti basette

cu nu sicarro e avano
a cammisella e picche'
Torero torero ole'
Te 'e fatto 'a giacchettella
corta corta
'e caziuncella stritti
e 'u ricciullinllo 'n fronte
te ride 'a gente arredu
e non t'emporta
ti senti Marlon Brando
che a spasso se ne va
per le vie Santa Fe'
per le strade di Hollywood
e 'annamurata tua nun te vo cchiu'
Ue Torero

I Left My Hat In Haiti


I Left My Hat In Haiti
Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists



I left my hat in Haiti
In some forgotten flat in Haiti
I couldn't tell you how I got there
I only know it was so hot there

She took my hat politely
And wound her arms around me tightly
But I remember nothing clearly
Except the flame when she came near me

Her eyes had the glow of surrender
And her touch, it was tender
And with someone as fiery as that
You forget about your hat

So if you go to Haiti
There is a girl I know in Haiti
If you can find her you'll adore 'er
Just look around 'til you've found
Someone who has a blue-gray fedora

Her eyes had the glow of surrender
And her touch, it was tender
And with someone as fiery as that
You forget about your hat

So if you go to Haiti
There is a girl I know in Haiti
If you can find her you'll adore 'er
Just look around 'til you've found
Someone who has a blue-gray fedora
