Dot Leedle Boy
Ot's a leedle Gristmas story

No more he vas older

He speak der English language
Und der German--bote at vonce!
Und he dringk his glass of lager
Like a Londsman fon der Rhine--
Und I klingk my glass togeder
Mit dot leedle boy of mine!
I vish you could 'a' seen id--
Ven he glimb up on der chair
Und shmash der lookin'-glasses
Ven he try to comb his hair

Say, 'Dot's an ugly sign!'
But I laugh und vink my fingers
At dot leedle boy of mine.
But vonce, dot Vinter morning,

Mitout no stockin's on 'im.--

Und ve give 'im medi-cine
Ven he catch der 'parrygoric'--

To gif sooch a charm to dot baby off mine.

Und poots eferyding he can find in his mout;
He dumbles der shtairs down, und falls vrom his chair,
Und gifes mine Katrina von derrible sckare.

Und cuts mine cane in dwo,

Who baints mine nose so red?
Who vas it cuts dot schmoodth blace oudt

Und vhere der plaze goes vrom der lamp
Vene'er der glim I douse.

Und vish vonce more I gould haf rest,
Und beaceful dimes enshoy;
But ven he vas ashleep in ped,

Brand New Country Star
Brand new country star
By: jimmy buffett
1974
Well he outgrew his sequined suit
Sold his trailways bus
Let his hair get a little too long
His ducktails bit the dust
His custom made, pearl-inlaid
Guitar slipped from his hand
And in its place a new electrical one
He had flown in from japan
Chorus:
cause hes a cheeseburger-eatin, abandoned sunday-meetin
Brand new country star
He rides around in a lincoln continental
No steerhorns on his car
Oh the record men say, hes the livin end
Theyre gonna spin him right to the top
Yeah hes a hot roman candle from the texas panhandle
He can either go country or pop
Hes got a good ol friend name o texas ben
Tells him all the spots to play
And a sweet little lady, he calls her sexy sadie
Shes a with the boy night and day
Theyre gonna open a chain of fancy bowlin lanes
The first one in his old home town
And on ribbon-cuttin day theyll come from miles away
The folksll all gather round
Chorus:
And sing, hes a cheeseburger-eatin, abandoned sunday meetin
Brand new country star
Yeah he rides around in his lincoln continental
No steerhorns on his car
Oh the record men say, hes the livin end
Theyre gonna spin him right to the top
Yeah hes a hot roman candle from the texas panhandle
He can either go country or pop
I mean, he can either go country or pop

blain und rude, As to been abofe hees peesnis und grown oup to

I doil'd oxshbect dot poy off mine a Vashington

vas- as I, Und got scheap adverdising dot he don'd could
dell a lie : Mine Yawcob lets der drees alone undil der fruit
dhey bear, Und dhen dot feller he looks oudt und gets der
lion's share.
Some say 'tvas beddher dot you teach der young

pooty veil; Dot arrow don'd go droo der core, budt id vent
pooty near — Shust near enough to miss id und go droo hees
broder's ear.
He dravels mit hees buysickle in efery kind off
redder, Und dough he vas a demperance poy, somedimes
he dakes a "header": I don'd know shust oxactly vot dot vas—'tis vorse
as bier— Shust like he shtrike a cyglone und valk righdt
off on his ear ! I ask von time aboudt id, budt dot poy he only
grumble, Und say I beddhcr try id vonce, dhen maybe I
vould "tumble."
Dot Yawcob says dot ve vas boor, vmd he vants
to be richer, Und dot der coming man must been a virsd-glass
pase-pall pitcher ; He say he must be "shtriking oudt und try nnd
"make a hit," Und dells me I vas "off mine pase" vhen I makes
fun off it; Vhen I say he soon must baddle hees canoe "oudt
on der schwim," He say dot von off Hanlan's shells vas goot
enough for him.
Dot Shakesbeer say aboudt der son dot's brofligate
und vild : "How sharper as a serpent's thanks vas been der
toothless shild!" (I got dot leedle dwisted; I mean dot thankless
youth He cuts hees poor oldt fader more as a serpent's
tooth.) Und dhen der broverb dells us dot der shild he
must obey, Und dot eef you should shpare der rod you shpoil
him righdt avay.
Vell, Yawcob he vas pooty goot—I guess I don'd
gomblain, I somedimes vish, mineself, dot I vas been a poy
again. I lets him blay mit pase-pall, und dake headers
vhile he can. I prings him oup mit kindness, und I risk der
coming man. Let neighbor Pfeiffer use der shtick, vhile Otto

Baby let me love u till the end
Baby my heart is urs

But dose two snaps set oup a shout,
Und said no matter if 'tvas late,

Und dis vas all dot dey vould say, —

"Vot makes you gome I" mine taughter said,
"Ven beoples all vas in deir ped:

But dem two plackguards sdill did cry,

"Vot means you by sooch dings as dese

Baby spin me around baby around.
In circles we go. Its a balancing act.
Give and take.
Dusk till dawn.
God how this is fun.
On the marry-go-round.
Baby spin me around baby around.
So dizzy and i want more.
Riding it all night long.
The energy never gone.
Every single time you make it feel so damn good.
On the marry-go-around.
Baby, spin me around baby around.
I'm loving every minute of it.
Its love of the best kind.
God you are so fine.
Above the divine.
The taste of wine on your breath.
You and i know exactly were doing.
On the marry-go-around.
Baby spin me around baby around.
Going to town, in every possible way.
Please hush there nothing to say.
Just lets take this all the way.
One more time, just one more time.
On the marry-go-around.
Oh baby spin me around, baby around.
Jump up and down.
Hands in the air, hands on the ground.
In the perfect embodiment you shall surround.
the whisper of sounds.
On the marry-go-around.
Oh baby spin me around, baby around.

Stranger In My Own Town
J. spinks, t. lewis
I still remember what I saw last night
Three small kids stealing money from a poor man
Now that aint right - no that aint right
Im still thinking bout the things I heard
Poor old man - he was frightened and afraid of every word
- and its all so absurd
But times are changing now an d I still care
There must be something we can do out there
Im like a stranger in my own town baby
Im like a stranger in my own town baby
I keep on walkin through these run down streets
Graffiti walls - this aint nothing like it used to be
Not for you or for me
This towns never been so down before
Looks like a photograph - someone mighta taken in
The second world war
Oh but what was that for
So many people gave their lives for this
Theres nothing left for us to reminisce
Im like a stranger in my own town baby
Im like a stranger in my own town baby
When those sad days were over
Im sure they all thought that weld won
But now as I look around
Were still invaded by everyone
Things wont ever be the same again
Ive not lost a town - Ive lost my only friend
Oh but where does it end
Well never change these times with good intent
But right now I know I dont feel content
Im like a stranger in my own town baby
Im like a stranger in my own town baby

Vas Marriage a Failure?
Vas marriage a failure? "Veil, now, dot depends Altogeddher on how you look at it, mine friends. Like dhose double-horse teams dot you see at
der races,
It depends pooty much on der pair in der traces; Eef dhey don'd pool togeddher righdt off at der
shtart, Ten dimes oudt off nine dhey van beddher apart.
Vas marriage a failure? Der vote vas in doubt; Dhose dot's oudt vould be in, dhose dot's in
vould be oudt:
Der man mit oxberience, good looks und dash, Gets a vife mit some fife hundord dousand in
cash,
Budt, after der honeymoon, vhere vas der honey? She haf der oxberience — he haf der money.
Vas marriage a failure? Eef dot vas der case, Vot vas to pecome off der whole human race? Vot you dink dot der oldt "Pilgrim fader?
vould say, "Who came in dot Sunflower to oldt Plymouth
Bay,
To see der fine coundtry dis peoples haf got, Und dhen hear dhem ask sooch conondhrums
as dot?
Vas marriage a failure ? Shust go, ere you tell,
To dot Bunker Mon Ilillument, vhere Varren fell;
Dink off Yashington, Franklin, nnd "Honest Old Abe" —
Dhey vas all been aroundt since dot first Plymouth babe.
I vas only a Deutscher, budt I tells you vot!
I pelief, every dime, in sooch "failures" as dot.
Vas marriage a failure? I ask mine Katrine, Und she look off me so dot I feels pooty mean. Dhen she say: "Meester Strauss, shust come
here eef you blease," Und she take me vhere Yawcob und leedle
Loweeze By dheir shnug trundle-bed vas shust saying
dheir prayer, Und she say, mit some pride: "" Dhere vas no
failures dhere!"

You Come Through
Baby, baby I dont understand
I hope you never take a swing across town
That would leave me stranded
Oh, little honey pie
Theres a lot of people lonely
Ive had a few of them scratchin my back
Wantin to control me
And they say only fools believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when I need you baby you come through
When I need you baby you come through
Oh baby nothin will console me
I could use somebody scratchin my back
Honey will you hold me?
Cause I could never quite believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when I need you baby you come through
When I need you baby you come through
Heaven knockin on your door
Oh whats the matter baby
I guess thats what friends are for
Baby, baby Im about to lose it
Little girl it isnt easy
Can you get me through it
Cause they say only fools believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when I need you baby you come through
Oh when I need you baby you come through
When I need you baby you come through
When I need you baby you come through
