say it's only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me Say its only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believed in me Without your love it's a honky tonk parade Without your love it's a melody played in a penny arcade It's a barnum and bailey world Just as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believed in me

Coffee Song 02:44
Do do do do I got a problem Do do do do I got a problem Do do do do I got a problem Got Coffee coffee coffee on my mind That caffeine bean, that mocha coca -lotion is causing a commotion and I can't seem to forget about that little coffee bean Do do do do I got a problem Do do do do I got a problem Do do do do I got a problem Got Coffee coffee coffee on my mind and everyday I gotta have my roast, I gotta have it with my toast and I can't seem to forget about that little coffee bean

Oh, William Howard Taft Had a great big smile and a great big laugh Great big belly, great big thighs that Slapped together when he walked by Measured in clean at a quarter ton Made the oval office just fit for one Oh, you can't squeeze nothin' past Oh, William Howard Taft Got himself stuck in a bath It took the secret service and the police to Pry him out with a tub of grease He had a steak dinner for the king of Spain But nobody got to eat a thing Because you can't sneak nothin' past Oh, William (William) Howard Taft Yes William (William) Howard Taft Oh, William (William) Howard Taft William Howard Taft big and fat, oh William (William) Howard Taft Yes William (William) Howard Taft No you can't sneak nothin' past William (William) Howard Taft Yes William (William) Howard Taft Oh, William (William) Howard Taft Ske-bop-a-bop--a-bop-a-doo-bo William (William) Howard Taft William (William) Howard Taft You can't sneak nothin' past William (William) Howard Taft Yes William Howard Taft

I won’t finish my life in Timbuktu Cheeks so tight my lips are turning blue I'd like to be wrinkled Utterly wrinkled Wrinkled like a Triplet from Belleville Don’t want to wind my days in Acapulco Stiff as a board dancing tango-tango I'd love to be twisted Utterly twisted Twisted like a Triplet from Belleville (Come on Girls!) Refrain: Swinging Belleville rendez-vous Marathon dancing doop dee doop Vaudou Cancan balais taboo Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous I won’t be an old man in Singapore Playing scrabble and eating petits-fours I want to be wicked, Utterly wicked, Wicked like the Triplets from Belleville I don’t want to end my life in Honolulu Singing like a bird in an ormolu I want to be as rough Every bit as rough Rough, rough as a Triplet from Belleville Refrain Don’t mind ending my life in Katmandu Signing with a sitar and a guru But I’d prefer to be Utterly flying Swinging with the Triplets from Belleville (Come on Girls!) Refrain

Isn't this such a beautiful night, Whoa, we're underneath the thousand shining stars. Isn't it nice to find yourself somewhere different, Whoa, why don't you let yourself just be wherever you are. Look at this place, Look at your faces. I've never seen you look like this before. Isn't it nice to find yourself somewhere different, Whoa, why don't you let yourself just be wherever you are. Look at this place, Look at your faces. They're shining like a thousand shining stars. Isn't it nice to find yourself somewhere different, Whoa, why don't you let yourself just be wherever you are.

If you want me to I can hang around with you If I only knew That's what you're into You and him, him and you If that's what you're into Him hanging 'round, around you You're hanging 'round, ya you're there too And if you want me to I will take off all my clothes for you I'll take off all my clothes for you If that's what you're into How 'bout him in the nude If that's what you're into In the nude in front of you Is that what you'd wanna view? If it's cool with you I'll let you get naked too It could be a dream come true Providing that's what you are into Is that what you're into? Him and you in the nude That's what he's prepared to do Is that the kinda thing that you think you might be into? And then maybe later We'll get hot by the refrigerator In the kitchen next to the pantry You think that might be what you fancy In the buff being rude Doin' stuff with the food Getting lude with his food We heard that's what you are into And then on our next date Well, you could bring you're room mate I don't know if Stu is keen too But if you want we could double team you How 'bout you and two dudes Him, you and Stu in the nude Bein lude with two dudes with food Well, that's if Stu's into it too All the thing I'd do, things I'd do for you If I only knew that's what you're into

Of all the boys I've known and I've known some Until I first met you I was lonesome And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light And this old world seemed new to me You're really swell, I have to admit you Deserve expressions that really fit you And so I've racked my brain hoping to explain All the things that you do to me Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain 'Bei mir bist du schön' means you're grand Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain It means you're the fairest in the land I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wunderbar' Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I've tried to explain, 'bei mir bist du schön' So kiss me and say you understand

When you hear a melody from a flute or a basson It can soothe your heart and set your mind at ease but when you catch an inkling of my simple little tune it ignites the flames of passion "Aw Jeez" All the men go wild when I play my harmonica All the boys start jumpin when my blowin gets their young blood pumpin I've seen men fight to the death to hear me take another breath so wouldn't ya, like to a, hear my hot harmonica "Oh yes, she plays the harmonica that's true, and that her playing drives men crazy, yes that's true too. In fact, we think that's why your ex husband left you, Cause when you play harmonica, there's nothing anyone can do." Oh sing it girls, sing it, what they say is true indeed. When I play, the boys start flockin, that's why my man and I stopped talkin, The audience can not escape, on my cadenza solo break, So wouldnt ya, like to a, hear my sweet sonatata" "Oh yes, when she plays, it's true there's no escape, and once she gets a goin then her solo has no break, and we wouldn't wanna keep you here, or make anyone late, cause maybe you all have plans later, like maybe a date or…." And that's why I should start to play! "Oh maybe another day" Well I think these guys are ready "no they're not, no one's ever ready" Well you might be right on that, You better hold on to your hats, fellas, Cause I'm a, bout to a, start to play harmonica! "NO!!" Well, that's that, she's played it all for you, and now you all have had a taste of what we all go through And we know what you're thinking, we feel sorry for us too cause when she plays harmoinca there's nothing we can do

She's resplendent, so confident La Seine, La Seine, La Seine I realize, I'm hypnotized La Seine, La Seine, La Seine I hear the moon singing a tune La Seine, La Seine, La Seine Is she devine, Is it the wine La Seine, La Seine, La Seine I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why That's how we are, La Seine and I I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why That's how we are, La Seine and I I feel alive when I'm beside La Seine, La Seine, La Seine From this angle like an angel La Seine, La Seine, La Seine I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why That's how we are, La Seine and I I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why That's how we are, the Seine and I

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings Of the bluebird as she sings. The six o'clock alarm would never ring. But it rings and I rise, Wipe the sleep out of my eyes. The shavin' razor's cold and it stings. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. You once thought of me As a white knight on a steed. Now you know how happy I can be. Oh, and our good times start and end Without dollar one to spend. But how much, baby, do we really need. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen.
