I Like Chinese
I Like Chinese
Composer(s): Eric Idle
Performer(s): Monty Python
The world today seems absolutely crackers
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high
There are fools and idiots sitting on the trigger
It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why...
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
They only come up to your knees
Yet they're always friendly and they're ready to please
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today
You'd better learn to like them, that's what I say
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
They come from a long way overseas
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please
I like chinese food
The waiters never are rude
Think of the many things they've done to impress
There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching and chess
So I like Chinese
I like Chinese
I like their tiny little trees
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese
I like Chinese thought
The wisdom that Confucius taught
If Darwin is anything to shout about
The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt
So I like Chinese
I like Chinese
They only come up to your knees
Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please
wo ai Zhongguo ren
wo ai Zhongguo ren
wo ai Zhongguo ren
ni hao ma
ni hao ma
ni hao ma
zai jian
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
Their food is guaranteed to please
A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lychees
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
I like their tiny little trees
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese
I like Chinese
I like Chinese ...

Junior Birdman
Junior Birdman
(Traditional)
Chorus:
Up in the air junior birdman
Up in the air upside down
Up in the air junior birdman
Keep your noses off the ground
When you hear the grand announcement
that your wings are made of tin
Then you know that Junior Birdman
has turned his box tops in*
For it takes: 5 box tops
4 bottle bottoms
3 coupons
2 wrappers
and one thin dime!
B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d-m-a-n
Birdman, Birdman, Birdman
Buzzzzzzzz!
*Alternate Verse
When you hear the doorbell ring (buzz, buzz)
When you see the badge of tin (tin, tin)
Then you know that junior birdman
Has turned his box tops in

I Like Beer
I Like Beer
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Tom T. Hall
and multiple other artists
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
But this little song is more to the point
so roll out the barrel and lend me your ear
I like beer It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer It helps me unwind and sometime it makes me feel mellow
(makes him feel mellow)
Whiskeys too rough Champaign cost too much
Vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain
As a matter of fact I like beer
(He likes beer)
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town
I'm wearing a suit and a tie
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by
I like beer It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer It helps me unwind and sometime it makes me feel mellow
(makes him feel mellow)
Last night I dreamed that I'd passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
All water was clear and it tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)
I like beer It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer It helps me unwind and sometime it makes me feel mellow
(makes him feel mellow)
(Yes he likes beer)

Jungman Jansson
Jungman Jansson
Composer(s): Dan Andersson
Performer(s): Thorstein Bergman
Hej å hå jungman Jansson, redan friskar morgonvinden
sista natten rullat undan, och Constantia ska´ gå
Har du gråtit med din Stina, har du kysst din mor på kinden
har du druckit ur ditt brännvin så sjung hej å hå!
Hej å hå, jungman Jansson, är du rädd din lilla snärta
ska bedraga dej, bedraga dej och för en annan slå?
Och som morgonstjärnor blinka, säj, så bultar väl ditt hjärta
vänd din näsa rätt mot stormen och sjung hej å hå!
Hej å hå, jungman Jansson, kanske ödeslotten faller
ej bland kvinnfolk, men bland hajarna i Söderhaven blå?
Kanske döden står och lurar bakom trasiga koraller
han är hårdhänt, men hederlig, så sjung hej å hå!
Kanske sitter du som gammal på en farm i Alabama
medan åren siktas långsamt över tinningarna grå
Kanske glömmer du din Stina för en sup i Jokohama
det är slarvigt, med mänskligt, så sjung hej å hå!

Torre De Cristal
Torre De Cristal
Performer(s): Fito Páez
Bebías coñac de noche en Madrid en el Palace
perdida, mi flor, perdida mi niña encantada
No debí intentar, no debí pensar, no debí olvidarme
que el pasado irrumpe sin protección y sin presentarse
sentías piedad, el blues de mis ojos perdidos
que extraño mi amor, no se que pasó en el camino
La feliciad fue un lugar hermoso que hicimos juntos
Torre de cristal, cielo protector fuera de este mundo
Es la misma canción que cuando éramos pibes nos hacía ilusión
Igual el tiempo ya pasó, ya basta de llorar que esta saliendo el sol
no debí intentar, no debí pensar, no debí marcharme
que el pasado irrumpe sin protección y sin presentarse
Es la misma canción que cuando éramos pibes nos hacía ilusión
Igual el tiempo ya pasó
ya basta de llorar que esta saliendo el sol

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

Du fond de ma banlieue

Les chemins de ton corps
C'est ma route de l'or

Moi j'vais foutre le feu
À toute cette forêt

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"
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

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...

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

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
