EBB, Fred
Kiss Of The Spider Woman
Sooner or later, you're certain to meet
In the bedroom, the parlor,
or even the street
There's no place on earth
you're likely to miss
Her kiss
Sooner or later, in sunlight or gloom
When the red candles flicker,
she'll walk in the room
And the curtain will shake
and the fires will hiss
Here comes her kiss
And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And her black beads shimmer
And you're aching to move
but you're caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can scream
But you cannot escape
Sooner or later, your love will arrive
And she touches your heart,
you're alert and alive
But there's only one pin
that can puncture such bliss
Her kiss
Sooner or later, you'll bathe in success
And your minions salute,
they say nothing but "Yes!"
But your power is empty,
it fades like the mist
Once you've been kissed
And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And your breath comes faster
And you're aching to move
but you're caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can run
You can scream
You can hide
But you cannot escape
New York, New York
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up
In a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little-town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it
Anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city
That never sleeps
And find I'm a number one
Top of the list
King of the hill
A number one
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York
And if I can make it there
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
All that jazz
Come on, babe
Why don't we paint the town?
And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees
And roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot!
It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
Slick your hair
and wear you buckle shoes
And all that jazz
I hear that Father Dip
Is gonna blow the blues
And all that jazz,
Hold on, hon'
We're gonna bunny hug
I bought some aspirin
Down at United Drug
In case you shake apart
And wanna brand new start
To do that- jazz!
Find a flask
We're playing fast and loose
And all that jazz
Right up here
Is where I store the juice
And all that jazz
Come on, babe
We're gonna brush the sky
I betcha Lucky Lindy
never flew so high
'Cause in the stratosphere
How could he lend an ear
To all that jazz?
Oh, you're gonna see your
Sheba shimmy shake
And all that jazz
Oh, she's gonna shimmy
Till her garters break
And all that jazz
Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle
(If she'd hear her baby queer)
For all that jazz
All that jazz
Come on, babe
Why don't we paint the town?
And all that jazz
(And all that jazz)
I'm gonna rouge my knees
And roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
(And all that jazz)
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot!
It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz
No, I'm no one's wife
But, oh, I love my life
And all that jazz
That jazz
Tomorrow Belongs to Me
The sun on the meadow is summery warm.
The stag in the forest runs free.
But gather together to greet the storm.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
The branch of the linden is leafy and green,
The Rhine gives its gold to the sea.
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee.
But soon, says a whisper;
"Arise, arise,
Tomorrow belongs..."
To me!
Money Song
…..
Money makes the world go ‘round
The world go ‘round
The world go ‘round
Money makes the world go ‘round
It makes the world go 'round.
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go ‘round,
That clinking clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round.
…..
If you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse on the wind
At your fate
When you haven't any shoes
On your feet
And your coat's thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds
Underweight.
When you go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore.
But when hunger comes a rap,
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window...
…..
Money makes the world go ‘round
…..
