the manhattan transfer - 10 minutes till the savages come
Spiked heels and porkpie hat -
Have you on the mend
In no time flat
A shimmy and a shake,
A pitter and pat
Hey there sugar -
Take a look at that!
Don't you despair «cause your
Fantasy life is nowhere
Under my care you'll be
Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink
Tunnel down in soft silk and satin
Loosen up and roll to the
Rumble of the drum
Make believe it's midnite
In Manhattan
10 minutes till the savages come
Come here and don't look back -
Meet me at the end
Of the cul-de-sac
Come on! Stand up at attention
And I'll do the same
Hey there tiger,
Now don't you be ashamed
Life has a way of destroying our
Sense of child's play
But under my wing you'll be
Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink
Tunnel down in soft silk and satin
Let your backbone roll to the
Rumble of the drum
Make believe it's midnite
In Manhattan
10 minutes till the savages come
Sigmund Freud himself
Wouldn't have needed to worry
If his hands were tied by me
There's no neurosis that this
Doctor can't diagnose
I'll find the monster and
Deliver a lethal dose
Life has a way of destroying
Our sense of child's play
But under my wing you'll be
Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink
[Repeat 1st Chorus]
[Repeat 1st Verse]

the manhattan transfer - a christmas love song
All I want for Christmas is you
You're the gift that's made my dreams all come true -
All I need for Christmas is here
Finding every sweet surprise
Wrapped up in your eyes
Waiting there for me
Underneath the tree
We'll spend the day
Exchanging kisses
Smile and say "What a Christmas this is"
Long before the snowflakes appear
Without bells and mistletoe
Or the tinsel's silver glow
You just look at me and oh - Christmas is here
Long before the snowflakes appear
Without bells and mistletoe
Or the tinsel's silver glow
You just look at me and oh - Christmas is here
the manhattan transfer - a gal in calico
Met a gal in calico
Down in Santa Fe
Used to be her Sunday beau
'Til I rode away
Do I want her
Do I want her love - yes, siree
Will I win her
Will I win her love - wait and see
Workin' with the rodeo
Rode from town to town
Seen most every kinda gal
Every kind of gown
But who makes my heart sing
Yipee yi, yipee yo -
My little gal in calico
I'll take my gal in calico
Down in Santa Fe
Guess I better let her know
That I feel this way
Is she waitin' (is she waitin')
Aw, she'd better be
Am I hopin' to be ropin' her
Yes siree
Gonna quit the rodeo
Gonna settle down
Buy a bolt of calico
For a wedding gown
And will I fence her in
Yip yipee yi, yip yipee yo
My little gal in calico
Little gal in calico
My little gal in calico
Yipee yi, yipee yo
the manhattan transfer - a kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
(and) my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on.
Oh, give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Oh, leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on.
When I'm alone with my fancies I'll be with you
Weaving romances making believe they're true.
Just give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Oh, give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on.
[Vocal and instrumental break]
When I'm alone with my fancies I'll be with you
Weaving romances making believe they're true.
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment
(And) my imagination will make that moment live.
Darling, give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on.
the manhattan transfer - a nightingale sang in berkeley square
That certain night
The night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right
I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon
He wore a frown
Oh how could he know we two were so in love
The whole wide world was upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodbye
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
A nightingale sang. A nightingale sang
The streets of town
Were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodbye
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
the manhattan transfer - a world apart
Lost in a feelin'
So very deep inside of me
Something's not healing ever since
You left this place
Oh, but I loved you and although
I didn't know you
Just the idea of you brought
Rapture to my face
I feel I almost got to know you
At least you made it to my heart
Even though we'll always
Be a world apart
Now I'm getting on without you
But I need to cry sometimes
?Cause I know we'll always
Be a world apart
Voices of children -
In the streets I hear them laughing
It all fades to one voice
I hear crying in the night
I think about you wondering
If you're out there listening
As if the words I sing
Will somehow bring you light
Well I almost got to know you
At least you made it to my heart
But I know we'll always
Be a world apart
Now I'm getting on without you
But there's a shadow in my heart
'Cause I know we'll always
Be a world apart
Seems I almost got to know you
At least you made it to my heart
But I know we'll always
Be a world apart
Through the constancy of memory
You will live inside my heart
Then we'll never have to
Be a world apart
Over and over I never knew
How much till you were gone
Over and over and over
You will be mine eternally
the manhattan transfer - a-tisket, a-tasket
A-tisket, a-tasket
A brown and yellow basket
I sent a letter to my mommy
On the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And put it in her pocket
She was truckin' on down the avenue
Not a single thing to do
She went peck, peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the ground
She took it, she took it,
My little yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I will die
A-tisket, a-tasket
I lost my yellow basket
And if that girlie don't return it
Don't know what I'll do
Oh dear, I wonder where my basket can be?
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
Oh gee, I wish that little girl I could see
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine
That itty-bitty basket was a joy of mine
A-tisket, a-tasket,
I lost my yellow basket
Won't someone help me find my basket
And make me happy again, again!
(Was it green?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it red?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?)
No, no, no, no
Just a little yellow basket
A little yellow basket
the manhattan transfer - agua
Here beneath the moon tonight
So pale and fragile
Is that shining in the distance I see
Real or just imagined?
Imagined mirages of agua
Somewhere in these sands that spread before me
There lies a silent spring for me
Que agua
The earth without the heavens' rain
Becomes powder and gravel
Life without a spirit whole
In time becomes a thread unraveled
Or traveled in the circles of agua
And lately there grows a thirst inside me
With only hunger to guide me
Que agua
Agua ever deep
Agua ever wide
Agua ever still and silent
Flowing into sleep finding what we hide
Dreaming what cannot be sighted
Agua ever warm
Current ever strong
Agua ever, ever lasting
Gathering in storm
Pouring out in song
Washing over understanding
Agua
Agua deep
Agua so wide
Carry me to your shore
Carry me agua
Agua
Agua deep
Agua so wide
Carry me to your shore
Carry me agua

the manhattan transfer - airegin
Wait'll y'dig it on the map - Airegin
Spelled backwards
Really're closin' up the gap - Airegin
Gone fac'wards
Back long time ago they saw a ghost
Ghost made a boast
Soon that ghost was host
[Repeat]
Those losing their hue
They goofed 'n got the wrong view
First, things reverse, last is first!
Y' dig it!
Whatta' y' think o'that'n get a load a'
What I tell y'
What this place is no one knows it
There's no traces of the kind o'place it was
Before it got "discovered" by the kind o'
Cat that knows the earth belongs t'him
Back when the world was young
An' man was a living god
An' he walked this earthly sod
This was sod that god would trod on
Till one day a stranger landed
With a line o'jive
Laid it on the natives till he had 'em thinkin'
Maybe that they should really take five
An' he quickly stole the natives' soul
So he could control it
An' he took care of that missionary biz
Till the lan' was his
Never heard a story draggy as that
Tell th' truth I ain't never heard another
That exasperated more
What an exasperating narrative t'play
Upon the sensitive and kindly soul that I am
'Way back when I was crawlin' in m'crib
I was doin' all kinds o'thinkin'
Aw'ready I had figured out the 'cut of m'jib'
The kind o'soul that never liked t'tell 'r live a fib
A body who was steadily reachin' up
A min' always thinkin' on high-minded things
Whee! I was always one t'be free
Ain't never had a keeper why don't people
Learn t'git along t'gether stead o'
Meddlin' aroun' 'n fussin' with the fella nearest to 'em
Me, I'm the old fashioned kind
I was never good at follow-the-leader
Real real real real real real real
That's me, as real as a Yankee can be
That's me
Millions o' years ago
There was a Paleolithic age on Earth
An' the whole world was young
And full o'the vim of constant rebirth
Brontosauruses 'n dinosaurs 'n pterodactyls
Ever'where abounding that was the case
'N plus the millions o' mammoths here 'n there
An' in addition there were lots o'men everywhere
Who had no hi-tech and no intellect 'nary a speck
But in that spot
Where it was so lush, where it was so hot
Where many animal was roamin'
An' nature was kind, life was thrivin'
There livin' was actual an' the feelin' was natural
I'm tellin' the truth
What-a-benign livin' some livin'
All's forgiven come on home
Blew a truly unruly storm
That wrecked a boat in a climate warm
'N full o'ashy-colored cats all lookin'
White like ghosts
'N when the natives checked 'em out
It blew 'em away t'find that they resembled spirits
Long ago there was a legend
'Bout a spirit who would someday come
A look at these cats
'N y' could see they prob'ly had some
So they welcomed 'em with peace and love
And everything there's plenty of
'N soon the tables had turned to rigormortis
That's when the castaway had his say
Like a dog had his day they told the
People that they were spirits actual
Y'see how perfectly a fable c'n be
Incorporated into what a cat'll think is factual
What was an accident turns int' something
So unbelievably heaven-sent
Everybody falls for it
Right on down t' the militants
'N marchin' 'n the martyrs 'n the murder of Lumumba
Wait'll y'dig it on the map - Airegin
Spelled backwards
Really're closin' up the gap - Airegin
Gone fac'wards
Back long time ago they saw a ghost
Ghost made a boast
Soon that ghost was host
Wait'll y'dig it on the map - Airegin
Spelled backwards
Really're closin' up the gap - Airegin
Gone fac'wards
Those losing their hue
They goofed 'n got the wrong view
First, things reverse, last is first!
Y' dig it!
the manhattan transfer - along comes mary
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
someone calls on me
And every now and then, I spend my time at rhyme
and verse and curse those faults in me
But then Along Comes Mary-and does she wanna
give me kicks and be my steady chick
and give me pick of memories-
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails and
tribulations no one ever sees
When we met, I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
whose sickness is in the games they play-
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor
folks make jokes about who is most to blame today
And the Along Comes Mary-and does she wanna
set them free
and make them see realities from which she
got her name-
And will they struggle much when told that such a
tender touch
of hers will make them not the same
When we met, I was sure out to lunch-
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
[Breakdown]
Oh here she comes along - along she comes
Oh Mary comes along - oh here she comes
Ba ba ba - Ba ba ba
Sweet as the punch
Then when the morning of the warning's passed, the
gassed and
flaccid kids are flung across the stars-
The psychodramas and the traumas gone, the songs
are left unsung
and hung upon the scars-
And the Along Comes Mary - And does she wanna
see the stains-
the dead remains of all the pains she sent the night
before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies and make
them realize their urgent
cries for sight no more
When we met, I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
