A woman
Of perplexity
A woman
For eternity
A woman
Of the land
A woman
For a man
I'm down
On my knees
And I'm saying
Please believe me
-SHE WAS WAITIN' FOR HER MOTHER AT THE STATION IN TORINO AND YOU
KNOW I LOVE YOU BABY BUT IT'S GETTING TOO HEAVY TO LAUGH (L) (c. 1970)

I write this song in memory
of a woman that I knew
she loved me much and I loved her
but then she never knew
and I was forced to go away
there was nothing I could say
I had to leave that very day
for almost two years or more

and now she's gone and I am left
with memories of her breast
and days of life and nights of love
and all the wondrous rest
I shan't forget
and the effect
it isn't even finished yet
it started 'fore we'd barely met
ten long years ago
yesterday

For Her- Shawn Phillips

'Got a black magic woman, 'got a black magic woman
I've got a black magic woman, 'got me so blind I can't see
That she's a black magic woman, she's try'n to make a devil out of me.

THIS MAGIC MOMENT

This magic moment
So fifferent and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer night
Everything I wanna have
Whenever I hold you tight

Jay and the Americans

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'...

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fifferents in the deep blue sea Sorry, Helen, I couldn't resist!
Joy to you and me

JOY TO THE WORLD

There was a jolly Milum once
Lived on the river Dee;
He work'd, and sung, from morn till night,
No Lark more blythe than he.
And this the burden of his song,
For ever us'd to be,
"I care for nobody, not I,
If no one cares for me."


-- Issac Bickerstaffe, Love in a Village (a very successful opera of 1762)

My Baby Just Cares For Me

my baby don't care for shows
my baby don't care for clothes
my baby just cares for me
my baby don't care for silks and laces
my baby don't care for high tone places
Clark Gable is not her style
or even Durante's smile
she's sensible as can be
my baby don't care who knows it
my baby just cares for me
I wonder what's wrong with baby
she just cares for me

(Walter Donaldson/Gus Kahn)

CHANTILLY LACE

AND A PRETTY FACE

AND A PONY TAIL HANGIN` DOWN,

WIGGLE IN HER WALK

AND A GIGGLE IN HER TALK,

MAKES THE WORLD GO `ROUND

AIN`T NOTHIN` IN THIS WORLD

LIKE A BIG EYED GIRL

TO MAKE ME ACT SO FUNNY,

MAKE ME SPEND MY MONEY,

MAKE ME FEEL REAL LOOSE

LIKE A LONG NECKED GOOSE,

LIKE A GIRL.


(spoken:)

OH, BABY, THAT`SA WHAT I LIKE.

Chantilly Lace
The Big Bopper

You know the landlord rang my front doorbell,
I let it ring for a long, long, spell,
I peeped through the window and pulled back the blinds,
I said, wont you tell me what is on your mind?

He said "Money Honey" Doo wap de die,
If you want to get along with me.

Well I screamed and I hollered I was so hard pressed,
I called the woman that I loved best,
I finally got my Baby 'bout half passed three
She said, wont you tell me why you calling me?

I said "Money Honey" Do wap de die
If you want to get along with me.

This truly great song with well-crafted, highly imaginative, poignantly poetic lyric merits a pasting in its remarkable ripeness. Right?

One morning when I was out shopping
Though you'll find it hard to believe
A little blue man came out of the crowd
And timidly tugged at my sleeve

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits

I hurried back to my apartment
I rushed in and I closed the door
But there on my desk stood the little blue man
Who started to tell me once more

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits

For weeks after that I was haunted
Though no one could see him but me
Right by my side was the little blue man
Wherever I happened to be

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits

One evening in wild desperation
I rushed to a rooftop in town
And over the side pushed the little blue man
Who sang to me on the way down
"I wuuuuv youuuu!"

I whispered, "Thank goodness that's over!"
I smiled as I hurried outside
But there on the street stood the little blue man
Who said with a tear in his eye
"I don't wuv you anymore."

The Little Blue Man
Ebb/Klein
