[Original Version:]

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti
Y arriba y arriba
Ay arriba y arriba
Por ti sere, por ti sere, por ti sere

Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan

"Wooly Bully"

   
(Domingo Samudio)

Uno, dos, one, two, tres, cuatro

Mattie told Hattie
About a thing she saw
Had two big horns
And a wooly jaw

[Chorus:]
Wooly Bully
Wooly Bully
Wooly Bully
Wooly Bully
Wooly Bully

Hattie told Mattie
Let's don't take no chance
Let's not be L sevens
Come and learn to dance

[Chorus]

Mattie told Hattie
It's the thing to do
Get you someone really
Wooly wool with you

[Chorus]

"Buzz, Buzz, Buzz"

   
(Robert Byrd/John G. Dolphin)

[Original Version:]

Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird
But the sound of your little voice darling
Is the sweetest sound I ever heard

I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty of the sky so blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you

Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet are the grapes from the vine
There's nothing as sweet as you darling
And I hope some day you'll be mine

Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird
But the sound of your little voice darling
Is the sweetest sound I ever heard

I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty of the sky so blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you

Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet are the grapes from the vine
There's nothing as sweet as you darling
And I hope some day you'll be mine
I hope some day you'll be mine
I hope some day you'll be mine
I hope some day you'll be mine

"Buzz, Buzz, Buzz"


[Album Version:]

Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird
But the sound of that little bird callin'
Is the sweetest sound I ever heard

I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty of the sky so blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
And the morning dew

Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet is the song of the bird
There's nothing as sweet as that bird callin'
It's the sweetest sound I ever heard

Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird
But the sound of that little bird callin'
Is the sweetest sound I ever heard

I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty of the sky so blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
And the morning dew

Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet is the song of the bird
There's nothing as sweet as that bird callin'
It's the sweetest sound I ever heard

Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird
But the sound of that little bird callin'
Is the sweetest sound I ever heard

Seen the beauty of the sky so blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
And the morning dew

Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet is the song of the bird
There's nothing as sweet as that bird callin'
It's the sweetest sound I ever heard
It's the sweetest sound I ever heard

"Route 90"

   
(B. Galow/Leon Rene)

Won't you come along with me
To a land I know
Just take Route 90
Down to Mexico

Fly over California
This land we love
Everything looks tiny
From so high above

Into Arizona
We'll float along
We'll cross the desert
To old Tucson

Then over the state line
To New Mexico
On our wooly bully
Yippee ay ay yo

We'll ride into Texas
The biggest state I know
See the cattle lolling
On the range below

To the gulf of Mexico
We're gonna go
Where the little shrimp boats
Look like toys below

Where the Rio Grande flows
To where I was born
Down below the border
One Christmas morn

Aren't you glad you came with me
So here we go
Flying over the border
To old Mexico

"Corrido For Papa Lalo"

   
(Phillip Rodriguez/Eugene Rodriguez)

Long ago before the TV was invented
When Papa Lalo and his friends were still young people
They had a guitar that was old and kind of dented
And they learned to sing these songs we call corrido

The corrido is a way of telling stories
Of what we do and how we dream and who we see
Of famous people, crazy times and even worries
And sometimes special folks like you and me

[Chorus:]
Now it's our turn to make a rhyme for Papa Lalo
And as we sing I'll play the song on my guitar
It doesn't matter if the song is good or malo
'Cause just to sing it makes you feel just like a star

Our Papa Lalo made a blimp from wool and tires
It's so big it almost covers the whole sky
And then he filled it full of air with mom's hair dryer
We were amazed when Papa showed us it could fly

[Chorus]

Up in the air we could touch the clouds and feel the breeze
We see the grass and hils and people down below
We're flying south so we can meet our Papa's family
It's Lalo's birthday and we're going to Mexico

[Chorus]

"La Bicicleta"

   
(Traditional)

[Instrumental]

"Cielito Lindo"

   
(Mendoza/Quirino)

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones

De la Sierra Morena
Cielito lindo, vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros
Cielito lindo, de contrabando

Ese lunar que tienes
Cielito lindo, junto a la boca
No se lo des a nadie
Cielito lindo que a mi me toca

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo, los corazones

"La Mananita Alegre"

   
(Traditional - New Lyrics by E. Rodriguez/G. Gutierrez)

Una mananita alegre
Parece que va a llover
Las aves y mariposas
Se empresaron a esconder

What a happy, happy morning
It looks like it may rain
The birds and the butterflies
Have begun to hide again

Tiranananananay
Tiranananananay
Una mananita alegre
Parece que va a llover

Tiranananananay
Tiranananananay
Las aves y mariposas
Se empresaron a esconder

What a happy, happy morning
The rain's begun to fall
The colors of the rainbow
Are the most beautiful of all

Una mananita alegre
Parece que este lloviendo
Bonito es el arco iris
Que en el cielo esta saliendo

Tirananananay
Tirananananay
What a happy, happy morning
The rain's begun to fall

Tirananananay
Tirananananay
The colors of the rainbow
Are the most beautiful of all

Una mananita alegre
Despues de que ya llovio
Las calandrias y cenzontles
Se alegran igual que yo

What a happy, happy morning
The sky has cleared above
The larks and mockingbirds
Are singing songs of love

Tirananananay
Tirananananay
Una mananita alegre
Despues de que ya llovio

Tirananananay
Tirananananay
Las calandrias y cenzontles
Se alegran igual que yo
