Homburg - Procol Harum (1967) live (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Your multilingual businessfriend
Has packed her bags and fled
Leaving only ashfilled ashtrays
And the lipsticked unmade bed
The mirrors on reflection
Has climbed back upon the wall
For the floor she found descended
And the ceiling was too tall

Your trousers cuffs are dirty
And your shoes are laced up wrong
You´d better take off your homburg,
Cause your overcoat is too long

The town clock in the market square
Stands waiting for the hour
When it´s hands they both turn backwards
And on meeting will devour
Both themselves and also any fool
Who dares to tell the time
And the sun and moon will shudder
And the signpost cease tosign

Your trousers cuffs are dirty
And your shoes are laced up wrong
You´d better take off your homburg,
Cause your overcoat is too long

Your trousers cuffs are dirty
And your shoes are laced up wrong
You´d better take off your homburg,
Cause your overcoat is too long

Ah, your trousers cuffs are dirty
And your shoes are laced up wrong
You´d better take off your homburg,
Cause your overcoat is too long.....

A whiter shade of pale - Procol Harum (live) with lyrics

(Lyrics)

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, 'there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.'
But i wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed

She said, 'i'm home on shore leave,'
Though in truth we were at sea
So i took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, 'you must be the mermaid
Who took neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

Ma Baker - Boney M (1976) live (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

"Spoken :

- This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat

from ol' Chicago town

She was the meanest cat

In old Chicago town

She was the meanest cat

She really moved them down

She had no heart at all

No no no heart at all

She was the meanest cat

Oh she was really tough

She left her husband flat

He wasn't tough enough

She took her boys along

'cos they were mean and strong

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

They left a trail of crime

Across the U.S.A.

And when one boy was killed

She really made them pay

She had no heart at all

No no no heart at all

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

she met a man she liked

she thought she'd stay with him

one day he formed with them

they did away with him

she didn't care at all

just didn't care at all

spoken :

- Here is a special bulletin.

Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman.

Her photo is hanging on every post office wall.

If you have any information about this woman,

please contact the nearest police station...

- Don't anybody move ! The money or your lives !

One day they robbed a bank

it was their last foray

the cops appeared too soon

they couldn't get away

and all the loot they had

it made them mighty mad

and so they shot it out

Ma Baker and her sons

they didn't want to hang

they died with blazing guns

and so the story ends

of one who left no friends

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry

Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die

Bahama Mama - Boney M (1980) live (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Bahama, Bahama Mama
Got the biggest house in town Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
But her trouble's getting down Bahama Mama

She has six daughters
And not one of them is married yet
And she's looking high and low
And none of them plays ever hard to get
So if you're lonesome go there go

Bahama, Bahama Mama
You should all be looking for Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
And I'm sure you will adore Bahama Mama

Bahama, Bahama Mama
Got the biggest house in town Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
But her trouble's getting down Bahama Mama

You'll meet her daughters
They 'll be treatin' you to honeycake
They'll be sweet and nice to you
And maybe there is one you'd like to take
Well then you'll know just what to do

Bahama, Bahama Mama
She is really in a fix Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
Being stuck with all them six Bahama Mama

What's the matter with men today
Six beautiful roses
And nobody to pluck them
It's a crying shame

Bahama, Bahama Mama
Got the biggest house in town Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
But her trouble's getting down Bahama Mama

The thing is each of them looks
Like a gorgeous moviequeen
Every one a perfect find
And if a man refused that temptin' scene
He simply can't make up his mind

Bahama, Bahama Mama
Got the biggest house in town Bahama Mama
Bahama, Bahama Mama
But her trouble's getting down Bahama Mama
