Lucky So and So
05:30
|
|||
|
When I walk down the street
Seems everyone I meet
Gives me a friendly hello.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
The birds in every tree
Are all so neighborly.
They sing wherever I go.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
If you should ask me the amount
In my bank account
I'd have to confess that I'm slippin'
But that don't worry me, confidentially
I've got a dream that's a pippin'
And when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
A home where love waits, I know.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
And when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
A home where love waits, I know.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
I'm just a lucky, lucky so and so

Do I want you?
Oh, my, do I
Honey, indeed I do
Do I need you?
Oh, my, do I
Honey, indeed I do
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you
That's why I'm always hanging around you
Do I love you?
Oh, my, do I
Honey, 'deed I do
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you
That's why I'm always hanging around you
Do I love you?
Oh, my, do I
Honey, 'deed I do
Honey, 'deed I do
Honey, 'deed I do

When love comes in
And takes you for a spin,
Ooh-la-la-la, c'est magnifique!
when every night
Your love one holds you tight,
Ooh-la-la-la, c'est magnifique!
But when, one day,
Your ,love one drifts away,
Ooh-la-la-la, it's so tragique!
But when, once more,
He whispers "Je t'adore!",
C'est magnifique!
When love comes in

Your love one holds you tight,
Ooh-la-la-la, c'est magnifique!
But when, one day,
Your ,love one drifts away,
Ooh-la-la-la, it's so tragique!
But when, once more,
He whispers "Je t'adore!",
C'est magnifique!
Yes when, once more,
He whispers "Je t'adore!",
C'est magnifique!

Bei dir war es immer so schön und es fällt mir unsagbar schwer, zu geh'n
Denn nur bei dir war ich wirklich zuhaus', doch der Traum den ich hier geträumt, ist aus
Warum hast du mir denn so weh getan und was fang ich ohne dich an?
Bei dir war es immer so schön, doch weil du eine andre liebst, muss ich geh'n

Goody Goody
02:56

|
So you met someone who
Set you back on your heels,
Goody goody!
So you met someone and
Now you know how it feels,
Goody goody!
So you gave him your heart too,
Just as I gave mine to you,
And he broke it in little pieces,
And now how do you do?
So you lie awake
Just singing the blues all night,
Goody goody!
So you think that love's a
Barrel of dynamite,
Hurray and hallelujah!
You had it coming to ya,
Goody goody for him,
Goody goody for me,
And I hope you're satisfied
You rascal you

In a Sentimental Mood
05:30

|
In a Sentimental Mood I can see
The stars come through my room
While your loving attitude is
Like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of ev'ry kiss
Drift a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss you make
My Paradise complete
Rose pearls seem to fall
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's lighter thing since you
Made me this night a thing divine
In A Sentimental Mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt that you'd be
Loving sentimental me
In A Sentimental Mood I can see
The stars come through my room
While your loving attitude is
Like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of ev'ry kiss
Drift a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss you make
My Paradise complete
Rose pearls seem to fall
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's lighter thing since you
Made me this night a thing divine
In A Sentimental Mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt that you'd be
Loving sentimental me

La Javanaise

|
J'avoue j'en ai bavé, pas vous, mon amour?
Avant d'avoir eu vent de vous mon amour
Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une chanson
Hélas avril en vain me voue à l'amour
J'avais envie de voir en vous cet amour
Ne vous déplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une chanson

I'm Gonna Sit Right Down
02:39
|
|||
|
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
Kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I've got 'em
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
And sign "with love" the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
Kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I've got 'em
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
And sign "with love" the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down, write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
And make believe it came from you.

In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night
All the world is in slumber
All the times without number
Darling when I say to you
Do you love me, as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still, of the night
Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still, of the night

Blossom's Blues
07:57
|

|
My name is Blossom
I was raised in a lions den
My name is Blossom
I was raised in a lions den
My nightly occupation
Stealing other womens men
I'm an evil evil woman
But I want to do a man some good
I'm an evil evil woman
But I want to do a man some good
I'm Gina Lola Bridgietta
I ain't red riding hood
If you don't like my peaches, baby, why do you shake my tree?
If you don't like my peaches, baby, why do you shake my tree?
Get out of my orchid, baby
Let my peach tree be
Now don't you ooh skoodla doo skoodli dee
And I won't ya ya doo doo
If you don't ooh skookdla doo
Then I won't ya ya doo doo
So don't you ooh skoodla doo skoodli dee
And I won't ya ya doo doo
Some men like me cause I'm happy
Some think I'm snappy
Some call me honey
And some think I've got
But Grey Brown told me that I was built for speed
You put them all together
Everything a good man needs
You put them all together
Everything a good man needs
