Wave goodbye from out of the window
Good-no trouble starting the car
Time for just one more cup of coffee
You know the housework won't wait

Where to start now? - time to get going
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Clear the plates and wash up the dishes
RRR! - Let's go - now the bedroom

Make the bed and fluff up the pillows
The housework makes you happy
Shake the rug and open the windows
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Close the drawers and tidy the closet
The housework keeps you going
Throw the dirty clothes in the hamper
RRR! - Let's go - looking better

RRR! - Let's go - get the vacuum
Round the carpets under the table
The housework makes you happy
Dust the shelves and polish the glass-ware
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Make some lunch and take out the garbage
The housework keeps you going
Pay the bills and get the dry-cleaning
RRR! - Let's go - time for shopping

Bread and milk and plenty of groceries
The housework makes you happy
Get some cash out of the dispenser
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Don't forget to stock up the freezer
The housework keeps you going
Get some wine for later this evening
Home by five! - how the kitchen

RRR! - Let's go - make the dinner
Get the roast into the oven
The housework makes you happy
Peel the veg and then set the table
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Freshen up and put on some music
The housework got your dancing
Light the candles - there goes the doorbell
RRR! - she's home - perfect timing!

Welcome back, dear - how did your day go?
The housework's nearly over
How about an aperitif, dear?
I'll get the dinner you open the wine
Pass the salt - you want more potatoes?
No more housework
Leave the dishes until tomorrow
RRR! Let's play

. . .


Gamble everything on the feeling
You'll win every time
You'll find that Charanga leaves you
Reeling like a case of wine

(We'll dance Charanga all day time and night time)
(We'll dance Charanga the rest of our lives)
(Ay Charanga dance the night away)
(Ay Charanga come on yeah)
(Charanga ...)

Throw your caution into the wind and let it fly
Come on let your worries all disappear
Take a chance and let the wheel spin
Let your bet ride
Don't you wish the night would
Go on for years?

(Come dance the Charanga, yeah now)
(A little bit closer)
(Let's groove on this all-night party)
(As much as the law allows)
(Charanga ...)

Do something that'll make her
Feel real good
Say something that'll make her smile
Say something that'll make you understood
Do something with a little style

(Girl you're such a sexy thing)
(Ooh you make my spirit sing)
(And your close proximity)
(Oh it has affected me)
(I can feel this rhythm swing)
(With no encouraging)
(And your sensuality)
(Mm - it overpowers me)
(Charanga ...)

I was waiting for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue
I woke up laughing
I broke into a sweat
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun
I woke up laughing
I was taking a plunge
I was flat on my back
It was making a stand but my plan was undone
Well I planned an escape for the middle of june
I woke up laughing
But I drug too fast and I fire too soon
I woke up laughing
Woke up laughing

You make yourself a fortune, out in hong kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return your home has blown away

You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose face
You're not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box

Repeat whole song

(Pt. 2: Entirely New Version from 1989)

. . .


Say you'll write your story -
Pictures, dreams and letters
Get your past existence off your mind
Life is such a miracle
Every day brings changes into your life

You could easily
Tell her you know the melody
You could get over her
You keep consoling her
Like a black and white movie

If you miss your aeroplane
Then you've got nowhere else to call
Just hearing your romantic schemes
Can set my heart to thundering
I long to see your bright and smiling eyes

Babe, the stars are sparkling in your tears
You'd better take my handkerchief and dry your eyes
Love is such a miracle
Every day brings brings brand new life

Why hesitate?
Why compromise?
You're a friend of mine
Suddenly I am here with you
I won't get over you -
I want control of you
You'll have to make your own move
Once I get hold of you
I won't let go of you
I'll miss my aeroplane too

. . .


That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me
That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me

I started to explore every possibility
Since she gave a kiss to me
The strength of her appeal
Lies in her ability
To keep a sense of mystery
She made my senses real
When she gave a kiss to me
She made the others history

It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past

That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me
That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me

I feel like I'm the deal
Since she gave a kiss to me
It felt like electricity
Her lips gave me sensations
Full of authenticity
When she gave a kiss to me
Her kiss had such effect
'cos of it's simplicity
She made the others history

It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past

That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me

I started to explore every possibility
Since she gave a kiss to me
The strength of her appeal
Lies in her ability
To keep a sense of mystery
She made my senses real
When she gave a kiss to me
She made the others history

It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past

Youre lonely can I see you
I hire a private red-eye rocket
But when I walk in here
You wanna go through all my pockets

Whats it take?
Mamma whats it take?

Ive known you all these years
And still you overhaul my letters
They dont confirm your fears
But when Im dead youll know me better

Whats it take?
Mamma whats it take?

My mistake was thinking I had it covered
I havent made the first move
Whats it take to get it through to you mamma?
What does it take to love you?

I take you out to dinner
You ask me why Im acting guilty
I thought Id backed a winner
This love affair is gonna kill me

Whats it take?


Mamma whats it take?

You say youre only teasing
I wanna try a new position
You wanna know the reason
Ive got a spanish inquisition

Whats it take?
Mamma whats it take?

My mistake was thinking I had it covered
I havent made the first move
Whats it take to get it through to you mamma?
What does it take to love you?

I wanna hear the gossip
You say I like a real ambition
I ask you if youve got it
You document my inhibitions

Whats it take?
Mamma whats it take?
Mamma whats it take?
Whats it take?

. . .


You want her attention
Well you'll have to wait
She's in the gymnasium
Reducing weight

In shorts of a leotard
Despite her age
The girl's gonna exercise
Your life away

Sister don't you jog it all away
Sister don't you run it all off
Sister don't you jog it all away
Sister don't you rough it all up

What an idea of fun
To get it on the run
I don't know why you do
What has come over you?

The style in the discotheque
Is cheap and nice
Please tell Ms Fonda
To reduce her price

Anorexia nervosa mannequin
All this physicality
Will wear you thin

Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?
Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?

She used to yield like flesh
Now it's all muscle
She used to yield like flesh
Now it's all muscle

I don't know why you do
What has come over you
What an idea of fun
To get it on the run

Rollerskates and vitamins and diet plans
Academic discipline will ruin your hands
We used to ride tandem and have lots of fun
But bicycles for exercise are made for one

. . .


Fate, light as air
So, I suppose
Chance follows you everywhere

No self-reproach
So self-contained
Say, how you move, love was true

Chance follows you everywhere

. . .


Touch down in azure water sun stays out all day
Poincianas coral beach outside our room
Your kisses leave me speechless ten thousand details
Flicker flash across your features like a gold perfume
Soft winds come fill our sails dolphins set our course
Gliding over blue champagne sailing the “Sea Horse�?
Feel the sun caress your skin passions rise like flame
Setting sun crescendos now
Palm-marina water-taxi harbour-view café
Tinkling glasses candlelight a crowded room
To the beat of samba nova lovers gently sway
Twilight passes cool sea breezes play our favourite tune
Disappearing evening clouds canopy of stars
Mirrored in the silver bay you are in my arms
Smooth as satin is the night warm and sweet your breath
I can hear your melting heart

. . .


We want the best of both worlds
We want it slow and hot
We like to taste revenge, yeah
But we can't waste the shot

We want to see from both sides
We like it cool and fast
We want to get it over
We like to make it last

Keep it on
It's getting closer
The best of both worlds
Double fun

We'll make the most, girl
To get the best of both worlds
We must obey the law
What good's a place to stand up
Without a place to fall?

Two and one
Fast and slow girl
The best of both worlds
Double fun
I'd like to now propose a toast
To the best of both worlds

I think about the war that is no fight at all
I think about the peace that is a fight for all
The best of both worlds
Keep it on
Fast and slow girl
The best of both worlds
Tight as a drum, loose as a gun holster
Yeah, it's getting closer

Why do we waste our breath, child
On what we like the most
Seeing as we've wound up here
We ought to do them both

Back and forth
We get the most
Yeah, the best of both worlds
South and north
I'd like to now propose a toast
To the best of both worlds
Two and one
Fast and slow girl
The best of both worlds
Double fun
We'll make the most girl to get the best of both worlds

. . .


just one love
to see us through
you and I are enough
now that we know love's true

monogamy monogamy monogamy
monogamy monogamy monogamy

well you got to have a partner
well you got to find a partner
well you got to have a partner
that will last for a life time

(???)

you need to mate for life
you need to
you need to mate for life
you need to

. . .


Honey bee, honey bee
Our hearts sing sympathy
Such a sweet melody
Honey bee, honey bee

How do I count all the ways that you understand
Multiply the stars in the sky by the grains of sand
Satisfy me
Your love‘s better than I ever planned
Tantalise me honey bee
I'm at your command
Planet keep on turnin'
Planet keep on goin' round

Illegal marijuana
Better give that man a cigar
Let's go hear him play the guitar
Come and take a ride in my car

Well, well I say, honey bee
I'm your main devotee
Let's establish a colony
Honey bee
Walk beside me
I'm in heaven when I hold your hand

Hypnotise me just Alice in a Wonderland
Well, I say, honey bee
You're my great fantasy
I love your company
Be with me in this tree
Planet keep on turnin'
Planet keep on goin' round

. . .


LA'-LA-E/LA-LA'-E'
Oi
Maria mondou me dizer
Maria mondou me dizer
Nao (eu) quero falar com voce
Oi

She's just testing her wings
And if you give in to her, you'll be
Just another feather in her cap
She'll drop you in a flash

She's casting a spell
She's casting a spell
Well if she's casting a spell
I can cast one as well

So I said, no no no
I ain't falling for this

This girl is built to tease
She's only testing
The efficiency of her kiss


She's casting a spell
Well if she's casting a spell
I can cast one as well

She wants to check out how
You check out on her test-bed
Will you get in her book
Or will you go right to her head

She's casting a spell
Well if she's casting a spell
I can cast one as well

And so I cast it right back on her
Don't you know my luck
She fell under the influence
And then the thunder struck

Now we're casting a spell
We're casting a spell
You can cast one as well

. . .


Hold me now; 'til the world turns away
Show me how here in this dream
We might always stay
We belong to each other
One embrace sealed our fate,
Here in your arms, feeling the love
That we generate everytime we caress
Look around; -there's a will, there's a way
Dream while I ever so tenderly kiss your face,
All the love passing between us
Hold me now; 'til the world turns away
Show me how here in this dream
We might always stay
To this love we surrender
