When i first landed in the USA
Listen how i got lost on the subway
When i first landed in the USA
Listen how i got lost on the subway
I had a date with a chick and i went to Brooklyn
But i couldn’t find my way back the following morning
I had money yet i had to roam
And still i couldn’t get a cab to drop me back home
I met a cop and told him i’m a stranger
Lord invader, A calypso singer
I live in Harlem and came here yesterday
But now i want to go home i can’t find my way
He told me « walk back three blocks » and he further explain
« go to the subway and take the uptown train »
I got confused i was in a heat
I couldn’t find my way to 125th street
I came out the subway and didn’t know what to do
Looking for someone to help me through
You talk about people as bad as crabs
Is the drivers who driving the taxi cabs
Some passing you empty and yet they wouldn’t stop
Some will say they have no gas so they can’t make the drop
I had money yet i had to roam
But still i couldn’t get a cab to drop me back home
I console myself and started to walk
I said that happens to persons who born in New York
So i decided to leave the girls alone
If they want to see me they must come to my home
Because New York is so big it take a year and a day
For anyone to get accustom to the subway
I had money yet i had to roam
And still i couln’t get a cab to drop me back home
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus, so baby,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
I want to go roaming around the world,
I mean touching all seas from north to south pole,
To Greenland, Finland, Iceland and all,
Then to Niagara water falls, so darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
Yes, to every isthmus, to every lake, you could believe,
I want to be like Sir Francis Drake,
Vasco Nunez, Vasco De Gama,
And Columbus who ‘discovered’ America, so baby.
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
Even like Lord Nelson, I’d like to be,
I mean the ruler of the air, the land and the sea,
To acquire power wherever I go,
Like Don Antonio de Berrio, so darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
Then I’ll be famous like Wellington,
Or our first Governor, the great Chacon,
I mean the Himalayan mountains, I’ll even score,
Then see the Nawab of Singapore, so baby,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
I don’t mind if I am all alone
But I’ll take the chance through the Canal Zone
And then through the deserts in Sahara
To see my grandparents in Africa, so darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
Then every school child will be taught the name
Caresser, who acquired unrivalled fame
Even bolder and more courageous
Than the old man Christopher Columbus, so darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
Edward The VIII (Written by Rufus Callender)
It’s love, love alone
That cause King Edward to leave his throne
We know Edward is noble and great
But love will cause him to abdicate
Oh, what a sad disappointement
Was endured by the british government
The tenth of december we heard the talk
That he gave the throne to the duke of york
He said « i’m sorry my mother is going to grieve
But i cannot help, i’m bound to leave
Oh, how Baldwin tried to break down his plan
He said « come what may the american »
Yes, we got the money, we got the talk
And the fancy walk to just to suit New York
And if i can’t get a boat to set me free
Well i will walk to Miss Simspon across the sea
Scepter, robes and my crown is on my mind
But i cannot leave Miss Simpson behind
Yes, they can take my crown, they can take my throne
But they must leave Miss Simpson and me alone
And if you see Miss Simpson walk the street
She can fall an angel with her body heat
Oh, let the organ roll, let the church bell ring
Good luck to our second bachelor king
Love Love Love (Written by Egbert Moore)
I was lying on my pillow, i was thinking of
What is life without love
I was lying on my pillow, i was thinking of,
What is life without love
Love ruined women and it killed many men
But i know we need it every now then
Adam and Eve who brought it to man
For it’s the best thing in creation plan
Love, love, love in the morning
Love, love, love in the evening
Love, love, love in the night
Always good for your appetite
Love is troublesome and you can never ever doubt
Buit it’s the thing you can’t do without
When you are lonesome and when you are blue
It’s the one thing to help you through
Some may call it a lot stupidness
But i will always call it happiness
And for some it does not agree
But it’s the best thing universally
If you should mess around with love you are sure to get burn
For many does pay to learn
Love is the champion and i tell you again
It will surely put you insane
It’s beaten millionaires the world can’t deny
But true love i say will never ever die
And philosophers will agree
That is the key for matrimony. What it is at all
Valentino was a lover and he knew what was to do
Whan he met someone knew
A little squeezing wouldn’t do you any harm i am sure
It is what we are living for
To be romantic, i think it is the only way
So take a bit of loving about ten times a day
It’s on earth and it’s up above
So life is so tasteless without new love
