New Year’s Eve On The Waterfront |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| It’s 2 a. m. at the Oxford Hotel, we’re leaning on the bar Bartender’s reminiscing about something that happened way back in the war Let’s go down the Boa Vista Café for an Irish coffee or two We might meet that girl down from Oakland I hope she don’t remember that remark you made It’s New Year’s Eve on the waterfront, New Year’s Eve on the waterfront The fog is rolling in from the ocean, and it’s New Year’s Eve on the waterfront Let’s hitch a ride on the cable car and I’ll giove you a quote from Kerouac They’re chasing the dragon through Chinatown and the fog is rolling in from the sea Tomorrow we’ll cross the bridge to Sausalito and head up north along the coast Into the slide area – boy, I’m in a slide area right now New Year’s Eve on the waterfront, New Year’s Eve on the waterfront The fog is rolling in from the ocean, and it’s New Year’s Eve on the waterfront It’s 2 a. m. at the Oxford Hotel, still leaning on the bar Bartender’s reminiscing about something that happened way back in the war Let’s hitch a ride on the cable car and I’ll give you a quote from Ginsberg this time They’re chasing the dragon through Chinatown and the fog is rolling in from the sea New Year’s Eve on the waterfront, New Year’s Eve on the waterfront The fog is rolling in from the ocean and it’s New Year’s Eve on the waterfront |
Skank With You |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| Who should I be walking with? Who should I be talking with? The only thing that’s certain is You’re the one I should be skanking with Skank with you, skank with you All I really wanna do is skank with you Skank with you, skank with you The only thing that’s certain is I wanna skank with you I don’t wanna rob a bank I don’t wanna drive a tank I don’t care where the Titanic sank All I wanna do is skank Swing low, swing easy Real low, nice and sleazy Some of them want to rock and roll with you Some of them want to save their souls with you Some of them don’t know what the hell to do But I know I want to skank with you Skank with you... Swing low, swing easy I know you’re just trying to tease me Skank with you... |
Man Overboard |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| When you read this letter, I’ll be on the open sea But still I hope you’ll remember me I just couldn’t stand to be in the same place all the time I heard the call of the sea Man overboard, man overboard Throw him a lifeline, he’s going down Sailing from Havana, ran into a hurricane And I’m afraid we’re sinking fast Water crashing down on us and fire down below I hear a voice out of the past Man overboard, man overboard He’s going under, he’s going down I could have had a good life, I could have settled down I could have raised a family I didn’t mean to hurt you, didn’t mean to make you cry But we were living a lie Man overboard... |
Shango |
Lyrics: Stephan |

What’s Cookin’ On The Hi-Fi |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| Back in 1941 they had a war and it weren’t no fun I hitched a ride on a time machine to check up on the future scene What’s cookin’ on the hi-fi? What’s been happenin’ since I last passed by? Pretty fly for a white guy Tell me what’s cookin’ on the hi-fi What’s happenin’ on the radio? Tell me now, ‘cause I got to go Ain’t you heard and don’t you know? They’re still swingin’ on the radio What’s cookin’on the hi-fi? What’s been happenin’ since I last passed by? Pretty fly for a white guy Tell me what’s cookin’ on the hi-fi Tell me what’s happenin’ on the radio ‘cause I got to go |
Do It Again |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| So here we are, after all these years Still in love, in spite of all the tears And if you asked me, would you do it again I would say yes, baby, just tell me when I wouldn’t miss a minute of the times that we had Thinking about the good ones and forgetting the bad I wouldn’t trade with anybody else in the world I’d do it all again just to make you my girl Who would have thought we’d ever get this far Considering how very different we are And if you asked me, would you do it again I would say yes baby, just tell me when I wouldn’t miss a minute... |
I Like It |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| I like it I love it, just the way it is, I love it So don’t ever change one itty little bitty thing I dig it, just the way it sounds, I dig it So please don’t try to put it down, no, no ‘cause I like it You got it, you got it all, you got it So why don’t you give a little bit up to me You turn me, you turn me on, you turn me Just the way you walk and the way you talk to me I like it |
Waltz With You |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| I ain’t never gonna waltz with you again ’cause every time you break my heart in two I ain’t never ever gonna waltz with you again ’cause every time I do you make me blue I ain’t never gonna go down to Vienna with you again ’cause every time you break my heart in two I ain’t never ever going down to Vienna with you ’cause you break my heart in two The harbour lights are shining bright And the captain of the ship is drunk tonight The harbour lights are shing bright And the captain of the ship is drunk tonight And I ain’t never gonna waltz with you again ’cause every time you break my heart in two I ain’t never ever gonna waltz with you again ’cause every time you break my heart in two Yes you do |
Cape Town Jive |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| The lion sleeps at night What you’re doing ain’t alright The lion sleeps tonight But it ain’t alright, it ain’t alright You give me that Cape Town jive Why you treat me this way? You give me that Cape Town jive |
Closing Time In Heaven |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| The angels are all sleepy Saint Peter’s gone to bed He’s tired of watching over the pearly gates And I’m through with being saintly I’m through with being good I’ve used up all the good inside of me It’s closing time in heaven I heard them ring the bell It’s closing time in heaven, boys So let’s all go to hell The souls in purgatory Are still waiting for a break They’ve given up all hope of the kingdom come And if there’s no chance of salvation I might as well give in I’m gonna shine a light on the dark side of my soul It’s closing time in heaven... I heard it through the grapevine They’re shuttin’ down cloud nine There ain’t no more fun to be had in paradise And I’m through with being saintly I’m through with being good I’m gonna shine a light on the dark side of my soul It’s closing time in heaven... |
