Bossa Amor
Dancing, while holding me tight
Squeeze me with all of your might
Whisper sweet things that you know I’ll adore
And sway me to Bossa Amor
Make me your own, set me free
I’m all adrift on the sea
Hold me so close, feel my heartbeat, my friend
And move me to Bossa Amor
(Sax solo)
I have lived on the wing of a prayer
Longing that someone might care
And sway to the art of romancing, my friend
And move me to Bossa Amor
Make me your own, set me free
I’m all adrift on the sea
Oh, hold me so close, I can’t breathe, my friend
And dance me to Bossa Amor
Oh, move me to Bossa Amor
Yes, lose me to Bossa Amor

5 over Four
I’ve got a sum
That needs to be done
I need your help
To solve this one
My whole life is
Dep-end-ing on you
Add a 5 over Four plus
A 3 over Four makes
An int-eg-er that made for 2
Since 2 is a Prime
This friend of mine
Checked out the facts
It can’t be hacked
Not a thing
Can div-ide us in 2
Add a 5 over Four plus
A 3 over Four makes
An int-eg-er made for 2
(Bridge)
All answers depend on you
I know mine are always true
Mand-el-brot could always show
Fractals are the way to go, oo…
I’ve got a sum
That needs to be done
I need your help
To solve this one
My whole life is
Dep-end-ing on you

Less, 1 over Four
Plus 3 over Four makes 2

I’m the One
If you need a gal with an eye for a good situation
Hey!,
If you want the one you know can always get things done
Look!
If you need a gal who can tell about her situation
Then!
If this is what you’re after I’m the One!
If you need a gal a to employ and recall all your blessings
Hey!
Do you want someone to invoke all your sense of fun?
And!
Would you say ok everyday to kissin’ and caressin’?
Then!
Honey bunny, let me tell you I’m the One!
You know,
I’ll always put everything right for you.
Mend your roof, or fix your car, or broken heart.
There’s nothing that I can’t do
I cannot do!

Goodbye Itacaré

GOODBYE ITACARÉ
Goodbye,
be-lov-ed It-a-caray
Got to make this the last day
Of our long love affair
It-a-caray
You knew
The feelings I left in your caring
You’d mend my poor bro-ken heart-string
Saving me from des-pairing
It-a-caray
He left
And my soul-light went dim
It was my fault, I drove him
To the arms of some-one
To recover my senses
I walked your sands that are so white
Swam your waves in the moonlight
Healed my heart in your sun
(Guitar solo)
He left
And my soul light went dim
It was my fault, I drove him
To the arms of some-one
To recover my senses
I walked your sands that are so white
Swam your waves in the moonlight
Healed my heart in your sun
(Repeat and fade)
You are
The place I that will always
Wish to write all my last days
When I know who I am
It-a-caray

SCATTER BRAINED
I’m in 3-minds, a-gain, a-bout the things I should do
I can’t seem to con-cen-trate on one, or two
I scratch my head think-ing I must have done all that stuff before
While looking for the answer on the floor, yet again!
Most people think that I’m scatter brained
Up to my old tricks again
Why there it is
I always knew
It’s on the wall
Yeah yeah yeah!
I’m in 3-minds, a-gain, a-bout the things I should do
I can’t seem to con-cen-trate on one, or two
I scratch my head think-ing I must have done all that stuff before
While looking for the answer on the floor, yet again!

Through Time
Love is like fine sand
You try to hold it in your hand
Open up your fingers, and you, watch it drift away
And when you try to clutch it
The wind and the tide retrieve it
Like an hour-glass sifting through time
Love is like a mist
It enshrouds you with its kiss
The near and the far horizon
Melts within your heart
The near and the far horizon
Bridges you imagination
Then the warm sun lifts the veil
Time after time
Like birds on a vine
We declare our true love
As if love needs to be prevented
From slipping away
(Guitar solo)
Love is like fine sand
You try to hold it in your hand
Open up your fingers, and you, watch it drift away
And when you try to clutch it
The wind and the tide retrieve it
Like an hour-glass sifting through time
Time after time
Like birds on a vine
We declare our true love
As if love needs to be prevented
From slipping away
Love is like fine sand
You try to hold it in your hand
Open up your fingers, and you, watch it drift away
And when you try to clutch it
The wind and the tide retrieve it
Like an hour-glass sifting through time
And when you try to clutch it
The wind and the tide retrieve it
Like an hour-glass sifting through time

Samba Knights
Turn up the sound
Just when you thought, there was no-one around
Just when you thought, there was no-one in sight
Call for your own Samba Knights
If you feel in distress
Take my word; they’re the ones to address
When you find you are feeling uptight
Signal your own Samba Knights
(Chorus)
Don’t stand around, get down to the rhythm mix
They say, it’s as good as a harmless fix
You will get hooked it, I bet you for sure
There just ain’t no cure
Turn down the lamps
Just when you thought, there was no-one encamped
From the woodwork they come for tonight
Call for your own Samba Knights
(Percussion Solo & Scat)
Turn up the sound
Just when you thought, there was no-one around

Signal your own Samba Knights
Turn down the lamps
Though you thought, there was no-one encamped
From the woodwork they come for tonight
Call for your own Samba Knights

rue Saint-Germain
(Intro)
The warmth of cafes
Contrast with the night
Where evening announces the last of daylight
Where the soft lilt of music by Robert Schumann
Drifts slowly to lovers
On the rue Saint-Germain
Don’t see, don’t care, what you do
Where you are
Don’t know, don’t ask where you’ve gone
Near or far
C’est fine, ma cherie, Ca c’est sur
Aurevoir, il faut voir, mon vrai amour
Don’t think, don’t dream, of the times that we knew
All done, square one, that was then
Start anew
C’est Paree, ma cherie, bien venue
Home again, by the Seine, rendezvous
Maintennant, sous les ponts, billet doux
Farewell, ma belle, to the rue Saint-Germain
Goodbye, no sighs, to the rue Saint-Germain
(Accordian solo)
Farewell, ma belle, to the rue Saint-Germain
Goodbye, no sighs, to the rue Saint-Germain
C’est Paree, ma cherie, bien venue
Home again, by the Seine, rendezvous
Maintennant, sous les ponts, billet doux
(Repeat refrain x 3)
Farewell, ma belle, to the rue Saint-Germain
Goodbye, no sighs, to the rue Saint-Germain
