Pencil Neck Geek


Pencil Neck Geek
Composer(s): Pete Cicero; Martin Margulies
Performer(s): Fred Blassie



Back when I was a kid, life was going swell
Till something happened, blew every thing to hell
That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak
Said "A woman up the block just gave birth to a geek"

Mom said, "Sell it to the circus, what the heck"
Dad said, "Nope, this one's a pencil neck
And if there's one thing lower than a side show freak
It's a grit eatin', scum suckin', pencil neck geek"

You see if you take a pencil that won't hold lead
Looks like a pipe cleaner attached to a head
Add a buggy whip body with a brain that leaks
You got yourself a grit eatin', pencil neck geek

(chorus)
Pencil neck geek, grit eatin' freak
scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique
He's a one man, no gut, loosing streak
Nothin' but a pencil neck geek

Soon the geeks were poppin' up all over town
You couldn't hardly sneeze without knockin' one down
After a nice juicy steak, if you need a toothpick
Just reach for a geek, they'll do the trick

One day we cut one up for fish bait
Learned our lesson just a little bit late
Soon as the geek hit the drink, the water turned red
Next day, sure enough, all the fish were dead

chorus

Most any night you know where I can be found
Yeah, stomping some geek's head into the ground
So keep the faith 'cause in Blassie you can trust
I won't give up 'til the last geek bites the dust

chorus

They say, "these geeks come a dime a dozen"
I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplin' the dimes
Its gonna be real hard times for all of these
grit eatin'
scum suckin'
boot lickin'
drop kickin'
gut grindin'
nail bitin'
glue sniffin'
scab pickin'
butt scratchin'
egg hatchin'
sleezy
smelly
pepper bellied
dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin', freaks
Nothing but a pencil neck geek

Pencil neck geek
Pencil neck geek
Pencil neck geek

Karusell


Karusell
Composer(s): Jolly Kramer-Johansen
First performance by: Kirsti Sparboe - 1965



Mamma, jeg skal møte'n Kjell og han Arne nå i kveld
Vi skal spleise til en reise på en gøyal karusell

Mamma, hvem skal jeg kjøre med først
Kanskje Arne for han er jo størst?
Ja, han denger opp Kjell hvis han drar i fletta mi
Eller kaller meg popjenta si

Men når Arne og jeg tar en tur
Blir han Kjell så forskrekkelig sur
Så jeg tror det er best at vi kjører alle tre
I en vogn som er stor nok til det

Mamma, jeg er forelsket i Kjell
Klart jeg kjører med han likevel
Når vi suser avsted skal han få en real klem
Og så skal han få følge meg hjem

Stakkar Arne må stå der og se
Men jeg kan ikke bry meg om det
Jeg har sannelig nok med å tenke på meg selv
Når jeg svever omkring med han Kjell

Når jeg svever omkring, når jeg svever omkring
Når jeg svever i vår karusell

Penas Do Tiê


Penas Do Tiê
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Vocês já viram lá na mata a cantoria
Da passarada quando vai anoitecer
E já ouviram o canto triste da araponga
Anunciando que na terra vai chover
Já experimentaram guabiraba bem madura
Já viram as tardes quando vai anoitecer
E já sentiram das planícies orvalhadas
O cheiro doce da frutinhas muçambê
Pois meu amor tem um pouquinho disso tudo
Que tem na boca a cor das penas do tiê
Quando ele canta os passarinhos ficam mudos
Sabe quem é o meu amor, ele é você
Você, você, você...

Love me in the morning
you got to love me late at night
When you love me
I hope everything is alright

Penas Arraigadas


Penas Arraigadas
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Si pudiera
luchar contra el destino
lo primero que haría
sería olvidarte

Como fuiste
a cruzarte en mi camino
ahora tengo por fuerza
que llevarte

Yo me paso
la vida en la cantina
insistiendo que así
podré borrarte

Es en vano
luchar contra el destino
mi tormento es tan solo
recordarte

Con qué ganas
quisiera ya morirme
pa'acabar
con mis penas arraigadas

Pero pienso
que no he de ser cobarde
las tristezas que llevo
hay que aguantarlas

Cómo fuiste
a ganarme la partida
qué destino
ahora tengo que quererte

Si en mi vida
has de ser la consentida
trataré
de luchar hasta perderte

Sag Ihr, Ich Lass Sie Grüßen


Sag Ihr, Ich Lass Sie Grüßen
First performance by: Udo Jürgens - 1965



Sag ihr, ich lass sie grüßen
Sag ihr, es geht mir gut
Sprich nicht von den tränen
Und wie weh mein herz noch tut

Sag ihr, ich lass sie grüßen
Sag ihr, ich bin vergnügt
Sprich nicht von der hoffnung
Die so oft mein herz belügt

Grüß sie wenn du sie siehst
Und wenn sie dann von mir spricht
Erzähl ihr das was du willst
Nur die wahrheit, die sag bitte, bitte nicht
... oooh ...

Sag ihr, ich lass sie grüßen
Sag ihr, es geht mir gut

Sie ging fort, fort von mir
Und sie weiß dass nichts mir blieb
Trotzdem sag ihr, ich hab sie lieb

Sie ging fort, fort von mir
Und sie weiß dass nichts mir blieb
Trotzdem sag ihr, ich hab sie lieb

... oooh ... ich hab sie lieb

Since I Loved You Last


Since I Loved You Last
Performer(s): Tom Jones



Not a leaf turns green, not a sky turns blue
Not a blade of grass feels the morning dew
Not one single child ever seems to laugh
Since I loved you last

Not a sun comes out, not a drop of rain
Not one single word that relieves the pain
Not one cooling breeze, not one warming flame
Since I loved you last

Not an ocean rolls, not a river flows
Nothing ever moves, nothing ever grows
But life's an empty stage, love has left the cast
Since I loved you last

Since I loved you last, since I loved you last
Not a day goes by I don't want you back
No one else's heart could take up all my soul
Since I loved you last

Since I loved you last, since I loved you last
All I do is pray that you come back
While I just go on living in the past
Since I loved you last

Peleando Por Tu Amor


Peleando Por Tu Amor
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Pero nunca más
voy a desfilar
con la cédula de identidad
oh! mama entre los dientes
para demostrar
si soy peronista o radical

Voy alzar la voz
como un ruiseñor
como un francotirador
oh! mama en las calles
columnas al sol
voy peleando por tu amor

Un obrero textil
con un albañil
un estudiante de psicología
una prostituta y la hermana María
abrazadas en la primera fila

Un indio toba
un amigo del Che
tan argentino como Gardel
la hija del doctor
el hijo del peón
van peleando por su amor

Oigo gritos
gritos en el callejón
una sombra, un flash
y el ancho de espada
clavado en la Constitución

Voy alzar la voz
como un ruiseñor
como un francotirador
oh! mama en las calles
columnas al sol
voy peleando por tu amor

Quiero
plantar semillas en tu balcón
grabar un demo
de tu corazón
y pasarlo en la televisión

Peleando por tu amor
Voy peleando, solo voy peleando
voy peleando por tu amor
Voy peleando, solo voy peleando
voy peleando por tu amor

Paradies, Wo Bist Du?


Paradies, Wo Bist Du?
Composer(s): Hans Blum; Barbara Kist
First performance by: Ulla Wiesner - 1965



Erst ein Blick, dann ein Wort
Dann ein Brief, dann ein 'Du'
Dann ein Kuss, dann ein Herz
Wo bist du, Paradies?
Hab ich dich gefunden?

Dann der Tag, dann das Licht
Dann der Schlag ins Gesicht
Alles aus und vorbei
Oh Paradies, wo bist du?

Bin ich so alleine
Ich steh da und weine
Wie ein kleines Mädchen verirrt in der Stadt

Dann Musik, dann ein Duft
Sonnenschein in der Luft
Blumen blühn, traumhaft schön
Oh Paradies, wo bist du?

Da da da... ta da da da da...
Da da du ya da da da... ta da da da da da...
Di di du di... di di du da di di...
Da di day...

Bin ich so alleine
Ich steh da und weine
Wie ein kleines Mädchen verirrt in der Stadt

Dann ein Mensch und ein Wort
Dann ein Brief und ein 'Du'
Dann ein Kuss und ein Herz
Oh Paradies, oh Paradies
Oh Paradies, wo bist du?

Pelas Tabelas


Pelas Tabelas
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Familia Roitman



Ando com minha cabeça já pelas tabelas
Claro que ninguém se toca com minha aflição
Quando vi todo mundo na rua de blusa amarela
Eu achei que era ela puxando um cordão
Dão oito horas e danço de blusa amarela
Minha cabeça talvez faça as pazes assim
Quando ouvi a cidade de noite batendo as panelas
Eu pensei que era ela voltando pra mim
Minha cabeça de noite batendo panelas
Provavelmente não deixa a a cidade dormir
Quando vi um bocado de gente descendo as favelas
Eu achei que era o povo que vinha pedir
A cabeça de um homem que olhava as favelas
Minha cabeça rolando no Maracanã
Quando eu vi a galera aplaudindo de pé as tabelas
Eu jurei que era ela que vinha chegando
Com minha cabeça já pelas tabelas
Claro que ninguém se toca com minha aflição
Quando vi todo mundo na rua de blusa amarela
Eu achei que era ela puxando um cordão
Dão oito horas e danço de blusa amarela
Minha cabeça talvez faça as pazes assim
Quando ouvi a cidade de noite batendo as panelas
Eu pensei que era ela voltando pra mim
Minha cabeça de noite batendo panelas
Provavelmente não deixa a a cidade dormir
Quando vi um bocado de gente descendo as favelas
Eu achei que era o povo que vinha pedir
A cabeça de um homem que olhava as favelas
Minha cabeça rolando no Maracanã
Quando eu vi a galera aplaudindo de pé as tabelas
Eu jurei que era ela que vinha chegando
Com minha cabeça já numa baixela
Claro que ninguém se toca com minha aflição
Quando vi tudo mundo na rua de blusa amarela
Eu achei que era ela puxando um cordão

Since I Lost Your Love
Performer(s): Gary Wright & Leah Weiss



Sun don’t shine so bright
Since you left me here alone
Rain don’t fall so sweet
Since you said goodbye to me
Moon don’t smile on me
Since you packed your bags and gone
Dark night fills my soul
Since I lost your love

Walking The Streets In The Rain


Walking The Streets In The Rain
First performance by: Butch Moore - 1965



My poor heart feels like breaking
'Cause I'll never see you again
Still, nobody knows I am crying
'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain

My tears are mixed through the raindrops
And I feel like I can't stand the pain
Still, nobody knows I am crying
'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain

I'm retracing your steps one by one
We walk down the street for so long
I can still see your face through my teardrops
Cause the rain whispers softly, she's gone
The tears of the rain will keep falling
Till you bring back the sunshine again
Still, nobody knows I am crying
'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain

Still, nobody knows I am crying
'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain

Peggy Sue Got Married


Peggy Sue Got Married
Performer(s): Buddy Holly;
and various other artists



Please don't tell, no, no, no
Don't say that I (emphasised) told you so
I just heard a rumour from a friend
I don't say that it's true
I'll just leave that up to you
If you don't believe I'll understand
You recall the girl that's been in nearly every song?
This is what I heard, of course
The story could be wrong
She's the one (I've been told)
Now she's wearing a band of gold
Peggy Sue got married not long ago

Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye


Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Fred Astaire & The Delta Rhythm Boys



Oh, what nights, glory be
When my baby and me
Used to ramble lovers' lane
From sundown to dawn
Then a voodoo, I guess
Put the jinx on our happiness
And the mockin'bird's refrain
Is done dead and gone

Evenin' creepin' down the mountain
Wakes up Mister Firefly
Bullfrog, settin' there
Starts a-croakin', but I don't care
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
South wind shakes the ole magnolia
Moon-man light the dingy sky
Stars start sprinklin' gold
On the river, but still I'm cold
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
Since my baby and me
Parted company
I can't see what's the diff if I live or I die
Oh Lawd, I'm takin' such a beatin'
I'm no good, even cheatin'
Since I kissed my baby goodbye

Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que tú sientes lo mismo que yo
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que estoy dentro de tu corazón
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno!
Saber que es sincero el amor que me das

Peggy Gordon


Peggy Gordon
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Corrs



O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee

I am so deep in love that I can't deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
But it's not for you to let the whole world know it
A troubled mind can find no rest

I leaned myself on a cask of brandy
It was my fancy, I do declare
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
Wishing Peggy Gordon was there

I wished I was in a lonesome valley
Where womankind cannot be found
And the pretty little birds do change their voices
And every moment a different sound

I wish I was away in Ingo
Far away across the briny sea
Sailing over deepest waters
Where love nor care never trouble me
