Träum süß
(Stefan Büttner / Alexander Presber)
Träum süß und laß den Tag vergehn - und komm und komm und komm und komm
Laß Dich in seinen Träumen sehn (Du bist so schön)
Jeden Schritt den er gemacht hat, alles was Du nicht weißt (jeden Scheiß)
hat er getan als ob Du zusiehst und Dich darüber freust. (zumindest meist)
Und mit Dir ist auf einmal alles möglich
schlechte Witze, großes Schweigen, normalerweise tödlich
die Plattenbaufassade glänzt im Sonnenaufgang rötlich und jetzt
Träum süß davon was morgen bringt
Träum süß solang er für Dich singt.
Träum süß und mach die Nacht zum Tag - und komm und komm und komm und komm
glaub ihm, was er Dir schlafend sagt (weil er es sonst nicht wagt)
Süße Worte, Werthers Echte, kleben Dir sanft im Ohr
und Ihr laßt Euch aufwärts fallen und schwebt der Welt was vor (und jetzt im Chor)
Und man erfährt, er fährt oft fort nach Erfurt, weil er dort nicht so friert
und Du erwartest ihn, und keiner weiß, wohin das führt
die nette Nachbarin kapiert was hier passiert und sie ist amüsiert
Träum süß, glaub alles was Du siehts
Träum süß bis er Dich morgens küßt.
TnT in germany
(Michael Holder)
Across the sea in Trinidad
the soca warriors play like mad.
Courageously the gained each victory
and with it a ticket to germany!
So Engerland watch out: Yorke and his men have clout,
and did you hear Sir Alex shout for TnT!
Refrain:
Let's raise a cheer for the Trinidad and Tobago
the soca warriors coming to play in germany.
When sweden begin to fret and Paraguay to sweat
don't think it's a change of air makes Ibrahimovitch despair!
And Eriksons dilemma about that Rooney fella
No, don't start to bawl, you can't have them all.
So you just wait and see, hold your breath in Germany
when the soca warriors play it's Tnt!
Refrain
Jook for jook
(Slinger Francisco)
Theresa and she man playing jook for jook
Right in the eye I say I shame to look
Theresa and she man playing jook for jook
He got a long needle and she arm with she hook
I know, jooking is a painful thing,
but Theresa like she vexed when he stopped jooking
So he jook she in she belly like he jook she bad
Theresa sat in corner like she goin' mad, bawlin':
Aha, dodo
(Don't jook so high) Ooh, I'm beggin'
(Don't jook so high) Ohhhh
(Don't jook so high) Ayayay, I'm beggin' you
Stay in the corner, not in the center.
She shout: Oh gosh! You go jook it out.
Well they start back again in a different style
The two of them close their eyes and they jookin' wild
They jook and they jook till the couch breaks down,
She lovely neck and she jookin him on de ground.
I say I: better go on part
before any bloodshed start
She said: Sparrow boy this ain't concern you
If you come too close, we jook you too with this
Mmhh ...
Well I tired seeing people play lash for lash,
Butt for butt and mash for mash,
But this Jook for Jook is a brandnew one,
See them how they're havin' fun on de ground.
Me belly start to boil I'm tellin you,
I feel like I coulda go and jook she too.
She was spiring bucket a drops
She complaining but she wouldn't stop with this.
Mmmh...
Oh, well I never seen nothing so since I born,
for hours and hours they carryin on,
They man belt a jook I say she's dead for sure
but he miss and the needle stick in the floor
She push him 'way and she collar on me
Boy it's jooky, jooky, jook for the two of we,
I don't know if I jook another touch of when man,
Theresa jump up like if she in pain fallin.
Mmhh...
Wood in de fire

(Talk to me) darling don't remain silent
(Talk to me) because I love the excitement
Doobdidoob doodeeyah
For when you talk I fell like a man
And I get more zeal and inspiration
Even though I know it is mama i gizem.
Refrain:
Tell me you think I'm sweeter than honey,
Tell me if I ever leave you you'll kill me.
Scratch up me back bite off me ears when I ask "Whats the matter?"
Tell me there's too much wood in the fire.

Doobdidoob doodeeyah
Our little love talk has turned me on
I could carry on from dusk till dawn
As long as I hear your sexy conversation.

Whoioioi, Sparrow, byeyeye

Calypso Boogaloo
(Slinger Francisco)
I went to a dance in New York City
Last week saturday night
With a big fat mamma from Mississippi
I really was uptight.
The band started swinging with the Boogaloo
She sais "Sparrow, please
I'm gonna teach this dance to you,
take it back to the West Indies" - and she tell me
Refrain:
You got to learn to do the Calypso Boogaloo
You got to learn to do the Calypso Boogaloo
Take it back to the West Indies
Underneath the Coconut trees.
The Mississippi Mama started working up
more she sweat is more she yell - HEY
Three policemen tried but couldn't make she stop
So they say she crazy like hell.
Then she shoe break and she make fall down
everybody started to laugh
Because she stocking dragging on the ground
and she crash they bust up in half - still she calling:
Refrain
As long as I live I will never, never,
Never, ever forget
The big fat Mississippi Mamma and the Rutland Palace Fete.
I felt so good I am telling you
When the steel band started to fight.
Old Harris put me in a taxi
And I missed that Mamma that night - still she calling:
Refrain
The shadow of your smile
(John Mandel)
The shadow of your smile when you are gone
The color on my dreams and light the dawn
Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy and love can bring
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile
My solitude
(Duke Ellington)
In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die
I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
Nobody could be so sad
With gloom ev'rywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Send back my love
As time goes by
(Herman Hupfeld)
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say: "i love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Perfidia
(Alberto Dominguez / Milton Leeds)
To you
My heart cries out "Perfidia"
For I find you, the love of my life
In somebody else's arms
Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia"
Forgetful of the promise of love
You're sharing another's charms
Refrain:
With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be
And now
I find my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's won
Goodbye
Refrain
And now
I find my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's won
Goodbye
Goodbye

The exotic football calypso of 1953
(Edmundo Ros and his orchestra)
Not me again, that`s what I`m thinking.
Sitting in a pub, to do my drinking.
Not me again, that`s what I`m thinking.
Sitting in a pub, to do my drinking.
I was having a drink very quiently,
when suddenly some young men came up to me,
they said "Sir! we have never seen you before,
that`s why we want you please, to settle this score!"
Refrain:
The talk was: football, football.
The Arsenal: football, football.
The Newcastle: football, football.
Not the Spurs with: football, football.
One said to me, "I tell you truly,
Spurs got a great guy they call Ramsey.
A handsome one, that gives a great turn,
you must have heard his name is Dipsburn."
He called so many names, he had me confused.
But as if a man had released a fuse,
the big guy said "Stop man don`t be a fool,
the greatest team in Britian comes from Blackpool!"
Refrain
He said "My friend I`ll give you my views.
We`ve got a great right winger called Matthews.
He is so fast no one is faster.
Then Mortensen is another master."
And out of the blue came the cutest voice
"There`s only one team that makes me rejoice,
nearly every match to date they have won.
My heart is with West Bromwich Albion!"
They continue:
Refrain
She said "that`s a bunch, that go in phases,
they got some guys with the cutest faces."
I heard a shout "Lady, shut your big mouth!
Haven`t you heard of the boys from Portsmouth?"
Well, so many teams come up to my ear
Wolves, Huddersfield, Burnley and Aston Villa,
Bolton, Preston, Charlton and problem Chelsea,
I had to leave my drink and run home to tea.
So:
Refrain
Make good use of good things
Culture
Make good use of good things
While the time is now
Make good use of good things
While you are young
Make good use of good things
While you're on your feet, oh Lord
Make good use of good things
For you know the way
For the time will come
When you no seat again
For the time will come
When you no seat again
For the time will come
When a good thing is like a thing of the past
Make good use of good things
While you are young
Make good use of good things
While it comes your way
Make good use of good things
While the justice of the peace is around
Make good use of good things
While the teacher still alive
For the time will come
When you no seat again
For the time will come
When you no seat again
For the time will come
When a good thing is like a thing of the past
Make good use of good things
While you're still around
Make good use of good things
And you'll wear the crown
Make good use of good things
While you're still around
Make good use of good things
While they're still after you
For the time will come
When you no seat again
For the time will come
When you no seat again
For the time will come
When a good thing is like a thing of the past
Make good use of good things
While they still assist you
Make good use of good things
While you're still in school
Make good use of good things
While the teacher still around
Make good use of good things
While the bank clerk still works
Make good use of good things
While there still fax machines
Make good use of good things
While the typewriter still around
Make good use of good things
While the lights still shine
Make good use of good things
While they still love you
Make good use of good things
While the clock still going around
Make good use of good things
While they don't refuse to work
Make good use of good things
While they still love your ways
Make good use of good things...
