TANGO 

Oh the tango is done with a thin black moustache,
a wide scarlet sash, black boots and a whip
Or the tango is done with seafaring trash,
Reeling of hash, fresh off the ship
Or the tango is done as a dangerous dance,
a treacherous step and if one should trip
The frail body breaks with a snap and a twist,
And a gold watch slips onto a thick tattooed wrist
And a gray merchant ship turns black in the sun,
as it heaves to the East when the tango is done.

Butterflies mounted on fields of black velvet
Neatly arranged in gleaming glass trays
One-eyed Etruscans play follow-the-leader
Forever around the edge of the vase

The phonograph's playing an old broken record
A tango and over and over it plays
Over it plays
Over it plays

A medieval tapestry hangs like a warning,
A needlepoint forest of dark green and brown.
The scene is the hunt, you will notice the hunter.
He takes careful aim as your eye travels down,

And finally rests upon the real victim,
Lying quite still in a silk dressing gown.
Lying quite still at the edge of the carpet.
One arm flung out for the peacocks to peck.
Blending in well with the blue and green background
Except for the bright scarlet sash round the neck

He was a collector of beautiful strangers
And life was a party right up to the end
The door always opened to love and loves dangers
Wh did it? A lover, a stranger, a friend

Butterflies mounted on fields of black velvet
Neatly arranged in gleaming glass trays
One-eyed Etruscans play follow-the-leader
Forever around the edge of the vase
The phonograph's playing an old broken record
A tango and over and over it plays
Over it plays (repeat and fade)

TEACH ME TONIGHT 

Did you say I've got a lot to learn?
Well babe, don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Go on, teach me tonight

Starting with the ABC of it
Right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Go on, teach me tonight

The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me tonight

I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation's almost here, my love
Oh oh teach me...
Oh oh
Teach me tonight

TELL ALL THE WORLD ABOUT YOU 

When I need company,
I call on you to see about me,
I wanna walk about it,
Talk about it,
Tell all the world about you,(tell the world about you)

When your with me it's so much fun,
Your all the good things wrapped in one,
I wanna walk about it,
Talk about it,
Tell the world about you.

Woah, I wanna walk,
I wanna talk,
I wanna tell,
I wanna live,
I'm gonna give,
We'll have a love.

Chorus

Your so fine,
And your so sweet
You have a love that can't be beat.
I wanna walk about it,
Talk about it,
Tell all the world about you.

Instrumental

Woah, I wanna walk,(walk about)
I wanna talk,(talk about)
I wanna tell, (I wanna tell the world about you)
Wah, I'm gonna live,(just for you)
I'm gonna give,(that's the truth)
We'll have a love

Chorus

THAT DID IT MARIE tekst

I was an icky couldn't get in the groove
Till this old band began to move
Ree ree fah fah bye bye bye
That did it Marie.

The heat was rising to a hundred and five
When all the cats gave out the jive
Ree ree fah fah bye bye bye
That did it Marie.

Dig that sax you jumpin jacks
Does that eighty-eighter send ya
Jump jump jump it to that trumpet
Satch is gonna blow a bunch of riffs
Ha!

They called me squarey when I walked in at eight
By twelve o'clock they called me gate
Ree ree fah fah bye bye bye
That did it Marie.

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC 

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine

That same old tingle that I feel inside
Then the elevator starts it ride
Then down and down I go
Round and round I go

Like a leaf caught in a tide
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame
Aflame with such a burning desire

That only your kiss can put out the fire
Ah you're the lover I have waited for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And everytime your lips meet mine

Down and down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
Love

THAT'S ALL 

I can only give you love that lasts forever
And a promise to be near each time you call,
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone,
That's all, that's all.

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall,
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter night,
That's all, that's all.

There are those, I am sure, that have told you
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you

And a love time can never destroy

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and ever more,
That's all, that's all.

THAT'S HIM OVER THERE 

I see your face in this room full of faces,
Im trying hard not to stare,
Strange to see you again, here of all places,
Thats him over there.

My baby looks the same as he did when I met him,
Id know that laugh anywhere,
It was foolish of me to think Id forget him,
Thats him over there.

I wish I could be the girl at his side,
The one who has taken my place,
Can everyone see what Im trying to hide,
Isnt it written all over my face?

I guess that you kow what extremes I have gone to,
To prove that I didnt care,
You were so anxious to meet the dream Ive hung onto,
Well, thats him, thats my jim, over there.

THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES 

That's the way it goes
No one ever knows
Just like that, it only took a minute
And I belong to you

You can never tell
That's how fast I fell
I just thought that there was nothing in it
But that is far from true

Now I thought that I was clever
You couldn't take me by surprise
But I found I'd be in love forever
The moment I looked in your eyes

That's the way it goes
No one ever knows
Here's my heart and you deserve to win it
For that's the way it goes.

THE ALLEY CAT SONG 

He goes on the prowl each night,
Like an alley cat.
Looking for some new delight,
Like an alley cat.

You know, she can't trust him out of sight,
And there's no doubt of that.
He just don't know wrong from right,
Like an alley cat.

He meets them..
And loves them..
And loves them...
Like the "Catsanova" does.

I mean that's no way to treat a pal,
She should tell him "Scat!"
Aren't you sorry for that gal,
With her alley cat?

He meets them..
And loves them..
And loves them..
Like the "Catsanova" does.

I mean that's no way to treat a pal,
She should tell him "Scat!"
Aren't you sorry for that gal,
With her alley cat?

Yeah, that's the sad, sad tale of a lonesome frail.
Yeah, that's the sad, sad tale of a lonesome frail and her alley cat.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME 

Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started to hum
Still its a real good bet, the best is yet to come

The best is yet to come, and wont that be fine
You think youve seen the sun, but you aint seen it shine

Wait till the warm-up is underway
Wait till out lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You aint seen nothin yet

The best is yet to come, and wont that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine

Come the day that your mine
Im gonna teach you to fly
Weve only tasted the wine
Were gonna drain that cup dry

Wait till your charms are right, for the arms to surround
You think youve flown before, but you aint left the ground

Wait till youre locked in my embrace
Wait till I hold you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There aint nothin like it here

The best is yet to come, and wont that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
