Bette: I really can't stay
James: But baby, it's cold outside.
B: I got to go 'way.
J: But baby, it's cold outside.
B: This evening has been
J: Been hopin' that you'd drop in.
B: so very nice.
J: I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice.

Now write this down!
I'll never be your beast of burden.
My back is broad, but it's a' hurtin'.
All I want is for you to make love to me.
I'll never be your beast of burden.
I walk for miles, my feet are hurtin'.
All I want is for you to make love to me.
What's the matter with me?

You talk about you and only you and the things that you do for you
You say you're not a lean cuisine
So I wanna see whatcha got on the menu
Now if you think you're the man the only man
With an exterior you feel issuperior Just give Miss be a little peek
And see if you really can deliver
Your tendencies are short, my expectations are long
And as I see it now, there's not much to go on

Every night while I'm undressin',
sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin',
I can hear hot licks
from a set of drums upstairs.

Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there;
Johnny's overseas. We no not where.
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot

"Oh, that's so heavy. We're goanna do a, a Neil Young song. Neil is so heavy. Neil is so mellow and laid back. I'm trying my best to be mellow and laid back. You know, I have even gone organic. Last week I ate an Earth Shoe. Oh, did I sing the ballad yet? Was it wonderful? Oh, did I sing it? I didn't sing it, did I. Oh, so sorry."

Lover, there will be another one
to hover over you beneath the sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that never come
today.

And you see me fly away without you.

Blueberry Pie, he walks on by
and I don't know what to do
with that Blueberry Pie,
but I'm gonna try.
Oh, Blueberry Pie, sad and shy,
won't you come out of your shell?
Life is swell, so are you!
Please don't be so very blue.

"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way.
He had a boogie style that no one else could play.
He was the top man at his craft,
but then his number came up and he was gone with the draft.
He's in the army now. He's blowin' reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.

I got a funny feelin' that all of you girls
Had better hold on to your man.
'Cause I feel, I says I feel,
I feeeeel like breaking up somebody's home.

See, lying here all alone
On a rainy night like this.
Starvin' for some lovin'.

Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you candy.
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you
apple and a plum and an apricot or two, ah!

Come on-a my house, my house come on.
Come on-a my house, my house-a come on.
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you
figs and dates and grapes and a cake, ah!

Oh God, Oh God, life is real life
Is when you wanna sing Polly-Wally-Doodle all the day,
Well you know, I may well be a sequel to Jaws,
In which a shark is attacked by a great white woman,
Actually I'm not going to do the sequel to Jaws at all,
I'm making the sequel to 'Emanuelle',
I call it 'Temple Emanuelle'. Actually it's not dirty at all,
It's just a lot of kissing and mezzuzas.

You know, you know sometimes, sometimes people say to me, "Rose, when's the first time you ever heard the blues?" And you know what I tell 'em? "The day I was born." You know why? You know why? 'Coz I was born a woman.
Ah! Oh! We got some noisy females in the house tonight! I do like to hear that high-pitched sound, you know I do.
Oh, being a woman is so interesting don't you find it?
What are we ladies, what are we? We are waitresses at the banquet of life! Get into that kitchen and rattle them pots and pans... and you better look pretty god-damned good doing it too or else you gonna lose your good thang!
Oh! And why do we dot that, why do we do that? I tell you why we do that, we do that to find looove.
Oh, I love to be in love, don't you love to be in love? Ain't it just great to be in love?
Oh, ain't it wonderful? Isn't it wonderful to be in love? Ain't it just grand laying there late at night in bed waiting for your man to show up? And when he finally does, round about four o'clock in the morning with whiskey on his breath and the smell of another woman on his person...
Oh, honey I can smell another woman at five hundred paces! That's a easy one to catch! So what do you do when he comes home with the smell of another woman on him?

Daytime husler, you're out of line.
Don't ya try to change my mind!
Don't you try.
You see, I ain't no fool.
No, I can tell,
Oh, baby, you ain't my kind!
My kind!

And I am all alone.
There is no one here beside me.
And my problems have all gone.
There is no one to deride me.

But you got to have friends.
The feeling's oh so strong.
You got to have friends

Песня о том, как всё кажется издалека, на расстоянии привлекательным, и что является в действительности ужасным. О том, что Бог наблюдает за нами, присматривает. Возможна интерпретация о созерцательной позиции Бога по отношению к людям.
Не эта версия, но оригинал песни в исполнении той же певицы стала Песней года за 1990 г. Эта версия 2006 г.

I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You will listen
To a humble prayer
They tell me I am just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to You
Still, I see your face and wonder
Were You once an outcast, too?

We had an apartment in the city.
Me and my husband liked living there.
It's been years since the kids have grown,
a life of their own, left us alone.

John and Linda live in Omaha.
Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war.

I put a spell on you
and now you're mine.
You can't stop the things I do.
I ain't lyyyyyin'.

It's been 300 years
right down to the day,
now the witch is back

"That's it, baby! When you got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!"
"This is the Divine Miss M
and I'm here to share with you some rare
and stimulating insight into my cosmic fabulosity.
It's really very simple. I smiply believe with all my heart:"

I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!

Jumping with my boy, Sid
right here in the city.
Don't you know that is was grand?
Really grand, so grand.
And then you came along,
then you came along, boy.
And sang your groovy song,
sang a song and I asked:

You know I been thinkin'
Lord, about the hard sides of rock and roll.
They say you can't make no money,
Oh, unless you're the Rolling Stones.
That put a chip on my shoulder;
Gave me the fire in my in my blood.

[Chorus]

Live at five and CNN
Keep us all abreast
Of breaking stories that can tend
To make us anxious and depressed
Problems with no answers
Hang on like somechronic cough
And every day some brand new issue
Rears it's head to piss you off

I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Yes I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Long John they call him, and he answers every call

Well I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
Yes I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
He told me not to worry, that my cavity just needed fillin'

[Man:] "All right! She's gonna sing!"
[Rose:] "All right, we all turn to page 438.
Now, you know we all gonna sing along.
Oh, I do love a revue."

Ohhhhhh!
You know, women don't like this woman,
'cause I always speak my mind.

You were told to wait there for love.
Love says it's waiting for you.

And all I want to say
Is I know it's never easy
Getting all dressed up with no place to go.

Help, for, that's what we're here for.

Lookin' back over my years
I guessed, I've shedded some tears
Told myself time and time again
This time I'm gonna win

But another fight, things ain't right
I'm losin' again
Takes a fool to lose twice

I know that I'm no saint.
My head is in the clouds.
They called you a mistake,
But I still, I still say your name out loud.

They called me a stupid girl,
Just like my mom.
Too many men passed through my arms.

It's midnight in Memphis
And all the boys are out tonight.
Oh, midnight in Memphis,
But my true love is not in sight.
The neon's glowing,
But I just don't see the light.

I'm following my footsteps

Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness,
Part this red river of pain.
I don't necessarily buy
Any key to the future or happiness
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes
Or I think I'll die.

"Hi, operator."
"May I help you?"
"Yeah, it's me again. Did you get him on the line yet?
Oh, this is awful. I've been trying to get him all day
No, it's okay. I'll wait."

Mr. Rockefeller, how are you?
Mr. Rockefeller, having fun?

Time: 2:15, the AM.
Place: Ronardo's "Boom-Boom-Room" on South Street
I'm a hot blonde and it was a cold night
This is my story. I ain't ashamed to tell it
I was hungry, tired and lookin' for love

I was just a pilgrim in the hot pursuit of love
Wandered from disco to disco

"I think I'll sing you a little ballad.
It's a new one. I just learnt it.
Oh, I hope you like it."

Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair.
Does anybody really care?
It's gettin' cold out here.

My one true friend

And now, is it too late to say
How you made my life so different in your quiet way
I can see the joy in simple things
A sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing

I have walked and I have I prayed

My momma says that I must leave him alone.
But how can I do that
When I want him in my home?
He watched me change from boys to boys
And now I am his size.
So how can I forget him now
When I long to share his life?

My baby jumped up this morning
'N sat on the side of the bed
He said, "I'm leaving you, baby"
And this is just what I said
I said, "I can't make you stay if you want to go
But it's high time, baby, that you should know

One monkey don't stop no show

Five, six, five, six, seven let's go!
Let's go, go, go!
Let's go, let's go, let's really go!

One more round, girls.
Let the Boy Scouts hear you.
One for your mother and
Two for your teachers and

Walking along the beach last night
Who do you think I spy?
A girl with ebony fire eyes.
Soft and low do she cry.
Now what could be such a source of pain?
I so boldly inquire.
Pointing finger Havana way,
These three words which transpire:

Girl we've got work to do
pass me the paint and glue
perfect isn't easy
but it's me

when one knows the world is watching
one does what one must
a few minor adjustments darling

Come on down lightning.
Come on down thunder.
Come on down raindrops.
Don`t leave me to wonder.
Life ain`t worth loving,
love ain`t worth having
without you.

I read that it's all black and white.
Oooh, the spectrum made a shade I like!
Ooh, those crinsom rays of ruby bright.
Ah! The technicolor li-i-ight!

Red! Red! I want red!
There's no substitute for red!
Red! Paint it red!

Here she is, boys!
Here she is, world!
Here's Rose!

Curtain up!
Light the lights!
Play it, boys!

Honey, you are my shining star.
Don't you go away.
I wanna be right here where you are
Until my dying day. Yes I do.

So many have tried,
Tried to find a love like yours and mine. Ohhh-whoa.
But don't they realize how you hypnotize?

sisters, sisters
there were never such devoted sisters
never had to have a chaperone, no sir
i'm here to keep my eye on her
caring, sharing
every little thing that we are wearing
when a certain gentleman arrives from Rome
she wore the dress and i stayed home

Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Can you tell me where my love may be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where he's just waiting to be kissed?

Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain

Drive me home silver eagle.
Drive me away from last night's news.
Empty beds, crowds of people.
Oh, come on, white girl, sing the blues.

Warm mister, hold me like you love me.
Why don't you make me
feel real good for free?

Some people's lives run down like clocks.
One day they stop, and that's all they've got.
Some lives wear out like old tennis shoes
no one can use. Well, It's sad but it's true.

Didn't anybody tell them?
Didn't anybody see?
Didn't anybody love them

Where did you go when things went wrong, baby?
Who did you run to?
Find a shoulder to lay your head upon.
Baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?
But, oh, no. I can't believe you're leaving me, yeah.

Stay with me, baby.

I was alone on a shelf
In a world by myself
Oh, where could my prince charming be
But a man came along
Made my life like a song
And taught me these words of ecstasy
Tenderly

Long ago and so far away,
I fell in love with you before the second show.
And your guitar just sounds so sweet and clear,
but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.

Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
Said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby.

You ask me what I want.
You ask me what I need.
It's nothing you can buy.
My heart's not ruled by greed.
I don't love a diamond.
Diamond's you see through.
I want you to hold me.
I want you to be true.

I'll bet you think you can just use her the way
You used to do. I've got news for you.
Your fuse is out. The girl is on to you.

I'll bet you think you can abuse her and say
You love her too. I remember pain
You put her through.
But the girl is on to you.

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you it's only seed.

I didn't want you to see me like this.
The light of the dawn can be cruel.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.
How I want to deserve you.

I see so many golden women;

A do-dooooo. A do-dooooo.
I saw the splendor of the moonlight on Honolulu Bay.
There's something tender in the moonlight on Honolulu Bay.
And all the beaches are full of peaches
Who bring their ukes along.
And in the glimmer of the moonlight
They love to sing this song.

Oh, the sun beats down
and burns the tar up on the roof.
And your shoes get so hot,
you wish your tired feet were fireproof.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.

From the park you hear

You give your hand to me
and then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
my heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
you think you know me well.
Hell, you don't know me.
You don't know me.

You can pull all the stops out
Till they call the cops out
Grind your behind till you're bend
But you gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get a hand

You can sacrifice your sacharo
Working in the back row
