Everywhere you go I think you ought to know
I′m shadowing you
Turn around and find I'm half a step behind
I′m shadowing you
You lug, you, I wouldn't bug you
Except whenever I can
You see love, you are to me love
The indispensable man
Like I said before, I'm camping at your door
I′m shadowing you
There′ll be no escape, I'm getting out the tape and video too
In Venice I′ll be a menace, in your Italian motel
In Paris I shall embarrass you on the Rue de Chappelle
If you do decide you want me for a bride
The deed will be done
Both of us will be so independent we will live on the run
Picketed for every cause
Fighting all unjust laws
Happy as can be, just you, J. Edgar Hoover and me
Everywhere you go I think you ought to know
I'm shadowing you
Turn around and find I′m half a step behind
I'm shadowing you
You lug, you, I wouldn′t bug you, except whenever I can
You see love, you are to me, love
The indispensable man

Like I said before I'm camping at your door

If you do decide you want me for a bride
The deed will be done
Both of us will be so independent we will live on the run
Picketed for every cause

Happy as can be, just you, the secret service and me
I′m shadowing you
I'm shadowing you

[Verse 1]
Hey John
What'cha say, John?
Made my day, John
Diggin' you diggin' me, John
Musically
This has been our first meeting
Well my friend
Let me send you my greeting
Stay a while, John
Dig your style, John
Love your smile, John
Liking you liking me, John
Running around
Searching for sound
Looking for clues
Waiting for news
Look high and low
Wanting to know
Where do I go?
Woe is me John
I just want to be free, John
Diggin' you diggin' me, John...
[Verse 2]
I said I can't forget, John
How we met, John
Nicest yet, John
Knowing you knowing me, John
Gratefully
I extend my affection
And totally
My heart's in your direction
I realized, John
From your eyes, John
That you're wise, John
Watching you watching me, John
Merry-go-round
All over town
Chasing around
Look who I found
Who can deny?
Just let them try
When I imply
You're quite a guy, John
How you captured my eye, John
Diggin' you diggin' me, John...
ブロッサム・ディアリー自身が立ち上げた自分のレコード会社 Daffodil Records の最初のアルバムに収録されている曲です。
コスタリカの珈琲ってそんなに悪名高いのでしょうか?
I like you, you're nice
Seems like I've known you for years
But we met just an hour ago
I'd never know we're such old friends
And I like you a lot
So, don't go
You're nice, you're very much me
How very nice we could be
But we wouldn't have all that we have
Let's never know and just be friends
'Cause I like you a lot
So, don't go
Take me home
And stay for a while with me
If you're good,
I'll make you
A marvelous,
Wonderous,
And quite notorious
Cup of Costa Rican coffee
(Parlez-vous Français?)
Mais oui, allons-y
(Parlez-vous chère madame?)
Comment allez vous? Fancy bumping into you
Comment allez vous? Tell me everything that's new
Are you happy are you sad?
Feeling good or feeling bad?
(And is there anything you're craving?)
(Do you feel like misbehaving?)
Comment allez vous? Gee, it's nice to see you here
Comment allez vous? You look better every year
I was really on my way, but I had to stop and say:
Comment allez vous?
(Comment allez vous petit chou?)
Say it, it has 'savoir faire'
(Comment allez vous mon minou?)
Has a continental air
(Once she heard it in the land, from a Chinese laundry man)
Cloaks and suitors, by the oodles, say it to their cute French poodles
Comment allez vous?
Spaniards say it, so do Greeks
Comment allez vous?
In the desert, so do Sheiks
(Show they know a thing or two)
(It's so easy, why can't you say?)
Comment?
Comment?
Comment?
Comment allez vous?

It's I don't know
It's what you're called
It's words escape me
Oh, it's hang it all
It's the kiss that defies every dictionary
Tell ya this, though
Whatever it is it's very
So darling say
It's understood
That when you kiss this way
It's knock on wood
It's do it again
It's the heck with it anyhow
It's the cat's meow
And it's too good to talk about now
It's I don't know
It's what you're called
It's words escape me
Oh, it's hang it all
It's the kiss that defies every dictionary
Tell ya this, though
Whatever it is it's very
o darling say
It's understood
That when you kiss this way
It's knock on wood
It's do it again
It's the heck with it anyhow
It's the cat's meow
And it's too good to talk about
Wee it's wow
It's too good to talk about
Holy cow
Too good to talk about now
It's the cat's meow
And it's too good to talk about
It's wee, it's wow
It's too good to talk about
Holy cow
It's too good to talk about now

Bruce
Wherever you go
Whatever you do Bruce
I'm thinking of you Bruce
and worrying so
make sure you're not wearing
that tacky green gown
and burn up those
Joan Crawford pumps
you limped into town upon
with Yvonne
Bruce
I'm not one to mock
a civilized frock Bruce
you're wedded to schlock Bruce
to sequins and sleaze
that gold lame jumpsuit with
whimple is simply an also ran
you look like a hag Bruce
now don't be a drag Bruce
when aping a woman
dress like a man
Bruce you've got to reduce
spruce up that caboose Bruce
or what something loose Bruce
you're lacking allure
give up on those eclairs
and chocolate chip pies
and banish your
Gloria Vanderbilt jeans
they seem to be under size
thunder thighs
Bruce you've read too much Proust
you've gotten confused Bruce
we are not amused Bruce
your wardrobe is gauche
don't emulate Nancy
at Jackie you're acting just
as I fear
please give me a break Bruce
my heart has an ache Bruce
for haut couture's sake Bruce
shave off your beard!
Bruce you are such a
goose don't ever wear puce Bruce
I called Clair Booth Luce Bruce
she had to agree
last night at the Met
you looked like a troll
and who were those
mean looking awful old
Queens resembling some
Bus and Truck
La Cage aux folles?
Bruce you use too much
rouge I can't stand your lipstick
to really be hip: stick with something pastel!
I don''t mind your
handbag those
earrings that beauty mark
on your knee
you're making me blue Bruce
I'm pleading with you Bruce
don't call yourself Sue Bruce
stick with Maree

https://www.discogs.com/ja/master/408534-Blossom-Dearie-My-New-Celebrity-Is-You-Vol-III
I'll sing you a song of the Cloisters if you hark
I'll sing of the Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park
Where I used to go in the month of June
To listen to the fiddle of an ancient tune
At a concert given in the afternoon
By the Pro Musica Antiqua
The Pro Musica, Pro Musica, the Pro Musica Antiqua
It was at precisely such an occasion I recall
That I met a young man, like an oak tree, straight and tall
As we sat there together, we spoke no word
But within our hearts, something stirred
As we listened to Juakegan(?), Talis, Purcell and Byrd
At the Pro Musica Antiqua
The Pro Musica, Pro Musica, the Pro Musica Antiqua
He invited me to his flat
For a cup of tea and a chat
For he said he had a batch of recordings to play
Of Dufy and Dupres, so what could I say, but "Yes"!
What a fool I was to go
What an idiot from tippy-top to toe
For behind his face and charming smile
Lay a motive base and a manner vile
What a fool I was to go!
But how could I nonny nonny nonny know?
Well he took me to his flat as he had said
And he locked the door and he sat on his great double bed
As he looked at me with eyes that lied
And I knew when I saw that look in his eye
That he had no recordings of Dupres and Dufy
By the Pro Musica Antiqua
The Pro Musica, Pro Musica, the Pro Musica Antiqua
Well there I stood I was rooted in my place
As I viewed with dread my deceitful lover's face
For I knew from the lovesick look in his eye
He could lay me low with a single sigh
Well he laid me lowand he laid me high
At the Pro Musica Antiqua
The Pro Musica, Pro Musica, the Pro Musica Antiqua
Now if you go to concerts on the grass
And you're overfond of Gabrielli brass
Or a gay Bonsel, Beware! Beware!
Of what may come to pass
Of what may come to pass
Now the sound of a consort of viols makes me ill
And the lute and the zither make me sicker still
And every morning at the crowing of the cocks
I wash my face and I comb my locks
And I say my prayres and I put on pox
At the Pro Musica Antiqua
The Pro Musica, Pro Musica, the Pro Musica Antiqua
Now maidens take fair warning from my tale
Beware! Beware of the music-loving male
You may go to the Cloisters if you choose
And find enchantment in the muse
But I hate to tell you what you can lose
At the Pro Musica Antiqua
The Pro Musica, Pro Musica, the Pro Musica Antiqua

Figure eight as double four
Figure four as half of eight
If you skate, you would be great
If you could make a figure eight
That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself
One times eight is two times four
Four times four is two times eight
If you skate upon thin ice
You'd be wise if you thought twice
Before you made another single move
One times eight is eight, two times eight is 16
Three times eight is 24, four times eight is 32
And five times eight is 40, you know
Six times eight is 48, seven times eight is 56
Eight times eight is 64, nine times eight is 72
And ten times eight is 80, that's true
Eleven times eight is 88, and twelve times eight is 96
Now, here's a chance to get off
On your new math tricks
'Cause twelve times eight is the same as
Ten times eight plus two times eight
80 plus 16 ... ninety-six!
One times eight is eight, two times eight is 16
Three times eight is 24, four times eight is 32
And five times eight is 40, you know
Figure eight as double four
Figure four as half of eight
If you skate, you would be great
If you could make a figure eight
That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself
Place it on its side and it's a symbol meaning infinity...

My name is Blossom
I was raised in a lion's den
My name is Blossom
I was raised in a lion's den
My nightly occupation
Stealing other womens men
I'm an evil evil woman
But I want to do a man some good
I'm an evil evil woman
But I want to do a man some good
I'm Gina *Lollobrigida*
I ain't red riding hood
If you don't like my peaches, baby, why do you shake my tree?
If you don't like my peaches, baby, why do you shake my tree?
Get out of my orchard, baby
Let my peach tree be
Now don't you ooh skoodla doo skoodli dee
And I won't ya ya doo doo
If you don't ooh skookdla doo
Then I won't ya ya doo doo
So don't you ooh skoodla doo skoodli dee
And I won't ya ya doo doo
Some men like me cause I'm happy
Some think I'm snappy
Some call me honey
And some think I've got money
But Ray Brown told me that I was built for speed
You put them all together
Everything a good man needs
You put them all together
Everything a good man needs
