Banapple Gas
Composer(s): Cat Stevens
Performer(s): Cat Stevens
Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
Everybody's sniffing it Banapple gas
O-o alas!
All the world is stuck on it Banapple gas
Does it do you good, make you better
Set you healthy when you're bed-tied?
Well I don't know if it makes you well...
But it must be healthy
'Cause it don't smell
Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
Everybody's living on Banapple gas
O-o alas!
All the world is grooving on Banapple gas
Do you know what goes inside to make it
What kind of strange spice makes it right?
Well I don't know what kind of spice
But it must be healthy 'cause it's sterilized
Banapple gas...Banapple gas
Give me more Banapple gas
O-o...o-o-o
Does it help you smile more to wake up
Make you happy just to be alive?
Well I don't know if it makes you happy...
But it must be healthy
'Cause it's certified
Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
All the world is breathing Banapple gas
O-o alas!
No one knows what's inside it Banapple gas
Oh Banapple gas

The Lady's In Love With You
The Lady's In Love With You
Composer(s): Frank Loesser - Burton Lane
Performer(s): Mel Tormé
Hello there Texas what you say
I'd like to bend your ear if you're going my way
Okay Glenn what's worrying you
Tell me the story & I'll see what I can do
Well, I got a new gal that's a real killer diller
But I'm not so sure that she goes with Mr. Miller
Hm, that's nothing to worry about
Man don't you know how to go about finding out
No, you tell me, Texas
If there's a gleam in her eye
Each time she straightens your tie
You'll know the lady's in love with you
If she can dress for a date
Without that waitin' you hate
It means the lady's in love with you
And when your friends ask you over to join their table
But she begs a far-away booth for two
Well, sir, here's just how it stands
You've got romance on your hands
Because the lady's in love with you

Sei Doch Mein Talisman
Sei Doch Mein Talisman
Performer(s): Ted Herold
Ahaha, ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah
Seh' ich drei Schornsteinfeger, sagst Du, das bringt mir Glück
Trotzdem geh' ich dann ungeküsst ganz allein nach Haus zurück
My Darlin', Du alleine bringst mir Glück
Uhuhu, Du nur allein
Sei doch mein Talisman, Du weißt genau, der kann
Ganz nah, ganz nah, bei mir, bei mir stets sein
Du schenktest mir ein Kleeblatt, da war'n vier Blätter dran
Woran liegt es, dass für mich damit nicht das große Glück begann?
My Darlin', Du alleine bringst mir Glück
Uhuhu, Du nur allein
Sei doch mein Talisman, Du weißt genau, der kann
Ganz nah, ganz nah, bei mir, bei mir stets sein
Ahaha, ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah
Ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah
Wir schauten in den Himmel, da fiel ein Stern herab
Das war der Grund, dass auf Deinen Mund ich den ersten Kuss Dir gab
My Darlin', Du alleine bringst mir Glück
Uhuhu, Du nur allein
Sei doch mein Talisman, Du weißt genau, der kann
Ganz nah, ganz nah, bei mir, bei mir stets sein
Ahaha, ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah
Ahaha, ahaha, oh yeah

Spaniard At My Door
Spaniard At My Door
Performer(s): Shadows Of Night
On a hot winter's morn
My old Aunt was born
As a sister watched from the floor
I said you're too late you'll have to go straight
And you'll have to work years in the store
I cannot see straight-Because of my mate
And I think you look quite like a queen
I haven't much time
I live with the crime
And I look like a bad Mr. Clean
Now There's A Spaniard At My Door
And He's Sleeping On The Floor
I'll be married today
A good price to Pay
For I'll alway's sleep in a bed
Kind and Refined
She worked in a mine
But nothing but a used metal sled
Up north it's cold and my coat I sold
To buy me a good bowl of rice
While frostbite set in
I sang Gunga Din
And went off to live with the mice
Now There's A Spaniard At My Door
And He's Sleeping On The Floor
Only yule time will tell if you live in a bell
And the ringing hasn't begun
As you crawl to the edge
It's just like I said
And you're eyes still point at the sun
Over there on that farm
I lost my left arm
When I promised to work for my life
I stumbled a while
But soon found a style
And finally earned a good wife
Now There's A Spaniard At My Door
And He's Sleeping On The Floor
Now I'm tired and old
Afraid of the cold
No years have I ever had plenty
Well it's over and blue
I'm finally through
I'm dead at the sweet age of twenty
Now There's A Spaniard At My Door
And He's Sleeping On The Floor

Banane E Lampone
Banane E Lampone
Composer(s): P. Campi - M. Minardi
Performer(s): Gianni Morandi
L'orologio batte l'una
tu sei fuori chissà dove
giro nudo per la casa
dimmi tu se questa è vita
tu che esci con le amiche, dici
io che resto qui a pensare, ore
se poi è vero per davvero
o ti vedi con qualcuno!
Guardo un pò televisione
c'è del pollo dentro al frigo
mangio e provo a immaginare
le tue mosse le parole
è che sono un pò geloso, scemo
ma ti amo per davvero, davvero
si va be' l'autonomia
ma ricorda che sei mia
Banane, lampone, chi c'era con te
Chi c'era stasera!
Io sono il tuo amore
sei solo per me!
Apro un libro d'avventure
è una nuova distrazione
poi vorrei telefonare
mi vorrei un pò sfogare
è che sono assai nervoso, nervoso
son le due tu sei lontana, lontana
quasi quasi, cado in piedi
vado a casa di...Maria
Ho sentito l'ascensore
gira chiave nel portone
faccio finta di dormire
e tu invece vuoi parlare
sono stata a chiacchierare, ore
ogni tanto sai ci vuole, ci vuole
hanno tutte dei problemi
per fortuna io ho te...amore!!!

Lady Of The Night
Lady Of The Night
Composer(s): Giorgio Moroder - Pete Bellotte
Performer(s): Donna Summer
They call her the lady of the night
she's a woman of the world
and easy-living girl with love for sale
That's what they call her the lady of the night
no one seems to know her name
and even less about the place
from where she came
Every evening when the night is close at hand
you'll find the lady on the Rue d'Avignon
in a half lit hotel doorway the lady advertises warmly
it's just a job but she'll do the best she can
Don't try to change this lady of the night
She's a lot like you and me
and less than what she seems to be
(She is the lady of the night)
and easy-living girl
(she is the lady of the night)
she's a woman of the world
(she is the lady of the night)
with lots of loving for sale
(she is the lady of the night)
lady lady of the night
Round here they call her the lady of the night
in a perfume hotel room
shadows dance upon the wall and fade at dawn
she's no beginner this lady of the night
never try that funny stuff
'cause lady can be tough
be warned!
(She is the lady of the night)
she's a lot like you and me
(she is the lady of the night)
and never just what she seems
(she is the lady of the night)
no one seems to know her name
(she is the lady of the night)
or the place from where she came

Composer(s): Thomas Horbiger; Udo Jürgens

Merci, merci, merci
voor die uren met jou
Chérie, chérie
onze liefde was mooi, zo mooi
Merci, chérie
Waarom huilen als ik je nu verlaat?
Adieu, adieu, adieu
laat je tranen niet zien
Chérie, adieu
onze droom is voorbij , voorbij
Merci, Chérie
't Is voorbij, en denk niet meer aan mij
kijk niet om want je weet
dat ik jou weer vergeet
Want geen zee is zo wild
als de liefde
De liefde verdween
jouw hart blijft alleen
zo alleen, alleen
Zo mooi, zo mooi
Merci, Chérie
Zo mooi, zo mooi
Merci, Chérie
Merci

Lady Of The Dawn
Lady Of The Dawn
Composer(s): Mike Batt
Performer(s): Mike Batt; Amanda Serafim
Lady of the Dawn, you opened up my sleeping eyes
I never knew that I was born
Well, I like you for your body, but I love 'cause you're wise
I am your prisoner, Oh my Lady of the Dawn
You are the dealer
In this strange, uncertain game
Take my cards and deal again
I can feel my life is changing
Woman
Now you taught me how to learn
Teach me to earn
The love you give to me
The love you give to me
Lady of the Dawn, you opened up my sleeping eyes
I never knew that I was born
Well, I like you for your body, but I love 'cause you're wise
I am your prisoner, Oh my Lady of the Dawn
I was waiting
In the darkness of the night
Only now I see the light
Softly shining in the silence
Woman
If you really hold the key
Turn it for me
And help me understand
And help me understand
Lady of the Dawn, you opened up my sleeping eyes
I never knew that I was born
Well, I like you for your body, but I love 'cause you're wise
I am your prisoner, Oh my Lady of the Dawn

Lady Of The Dancing Water
Lady Of The Dancing Water
Composer(s): Peter Sinfield - Robert Fripp
Performer(s): King Crimson
Grass in your hair stretched like a lion in the sun
Restlessly turned moistened your mouth with your tongue
Pouring my wine your eyes caged mine glowing
Touching your face my finger strayed knowing
I called you lady of the dancing water
Blown autumn leaves shed to the fire where you laid me
Burn slow to ash just as my days now seem to be
I feel you still always your eyes glowing
Remembered hours salt, earth and flowers flowing
Farewell my lady of the dancing water

Banana Song
Banana Song
Composer(s): Alex Hughes - Lemon
Performer(s): Judge Dread
It's big and heavy but me carry the banana
All the way to the sister's house
She like to bite it but she like a piranha
I want some left when I have to go home
Day-o, day-o
Morning come and me have to go home
Day-o, day-o
This woman, she won't leave me alone
1 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch, 4
She like banana and me give her more
5 inch, 6 inch, 7 inch, 8!
I want to rest but she just won't wait
Day-o, day-o
Morning come and me have to go home
Day-o, day-o
This woman, she won't leave me alone
She cry for more banana but the banana's gone
She wake it up and she jump right on
I give her more banana 'till she shout and scream
What good banana if you have no cream!
Day-o, day-o
Morning come and me have to go home
Day-o, day-o
This woman, she won't leave me alone
The morning come and me take home the banana
The Mrs. says, "Did you work all night?"
I say "yes" but she know I managed lying
She see the mark where the sister bite!
Day-o, day-o
The woman see it now she willn't let me go
Day-o, day-o
This naughty woman she willn't leave me alone

Performer(s): Eddie Fisher
and multiple other artists
Lady of Spain I adore you
Right from the night I first saw you
My heart has been yearning for you
What else could any heart do
Lady of Spain I'm appealing
Why should my lips be concealing
All that my eyes are revealing
Lady of Spain, I love you
Night in Madrid, blue and tender
Spanish moon makes silver splendour
Music throbbing plaintive sobbing notes of a guitar
While ardent Caballero serenades
Lady of Spain I adore you
Right from the night I first saw you
My heart has been yearning for you
What else could any heart do
Lady of Spain I'm appealing
Why should my lips be concealing
All that my eyes are revealing
Lady of Spain, I love you

Banana Republics
Banana Republics
Composer(s): Steve Burgh - Steve Goodman - Jim Rothermel
Performer(s): Steve Goodman; Jimmy Buffett
Down to the banana republics
Down to the tropical sun
Come the expatriated Americans
Hoping to have some fun
Some of them come for the sailing
Called by the lure of the sea
Trying to cure what is ailing
From living in the land of the free
Some of them them running from lovers
Leaving no forward address
Some of them are running marijuana
Some are running from the IRS
Late at night you can find them
In the cheap hotels and bars
Hustling the senoritas while they dance beneath the stars
Spending their renegade pesos
On a bottle of rum and a lime
Singing "Give me some words we can dance to
Or a melody that rhymes"
First you learn the native customs
Then a word of Spanish or two
You know that you cannot trust them
Because they know they can't trust you
Expatriated Americans
Feeling so all alone
Telling themselves the same lies
That they told themselves at home
Late at night you can find them
In the cheap hotels and bars
Hustling the senoritas while they dance beneath the stars
Spending their renegade pesos
On a bottle of rum and a lime
Singing "Give me some words we can dance to
Or a melody that rhymes"
Down in the banana republics
Things aren't as bright as they seem
None of the natives are buying
Any second-hand American dreams ...

With this refrain

Here in the moonlight beneath your balcony
Singing the song that is love's sweet melody
Lady of Madrid, forevermore

Septic Isle
Screaming in the suffering sea
It sounds like crying
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
And I wonder do you wonder
While you're sleeping with your whore
That sharing beds with history
Is like a-licking running sores
Forty shades of green yeah
Sixty shades of red
Heroes going cheap these days
Price; a bullet in the head
Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Screaming in the suffering sea
It sounds like crying
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms

Take your hand and lead you
Up a garden path
Let me stand aside here
And watch you pass
Striking up a soldier's song
I know that tune
It begs too many questions
And answers to
Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Screaming in the suffering sea
It sounds like crying
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
The purple and the pinstripe
Mutely shake their heads
A silense shrieking volumes
A violence worse than the condemn
Stab you in the back yeah
Laughing in your face
Glad to see the place again
It's a pitty nothing's changed

Screaming in the suffering sea
It sounds like crying

Lady Nina
Lady Nina
Composer(s): Derek William Dick - Ian Mosley - Mark Kelly - Pete Trewavas - Steve Rothery
Performer(s): Marillion
You pick out your credit cards and check into the night
A dozen tequilas and you’re feeling all right
So you swim to the disco, out of your depth jaded gigolo
Your lucky charms are tarnished so you leave alone
But there’s one place left to go before the taxi home
After all you’ve made your marks
One night you’ll play elizabeth taylor
The next night you’re marilyn monroe
Forever kissing frogs that think they’re princes
Oh, lady nina, where did all the romance go?
Your little sister babysits, your husband picks you up at six
The make-up hides the bruises and the tears so they never show
’cos your beauty is the only thing you’ve ever owned
It’s the only way you’ve ever known to make your marks
You made your marks, you made your marks
We believe it’s for real
Ich liebe dich, liebst du mich
Lady nina, I’d love to take you home with me
But I love my wife and I love my family
I’ve got a good job, responsibilities
And I need to keep respect from society
I know you’ll never act with me, I know that you’re in love with me
So how do I compare to the sailors of the ships of the night?
Was I all right?
Did you come tonight, lady nina?
You made your marks, you made your marks
Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light
And edith piaf sings a lullaby for the night
Just making marks, just making marks
Just making marks, just making marks
You made your marks
Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light
And edith piaf sings a lullaby for the night
Just making marks, just making marks
You made your marks
And you made your mark
Just making marks
And you made your mark
Just making marks
