Schicksal

Schon mal darüber nachgedacht wie der perfekte Partner sein sollte? Vielleicht sitzt er gerade auf der Couch nebenan oder schläft schon friedlich im Schlafzimmer...

Piña Colada

"I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

Weihnachten steht vor der Tür

Ab heute darf ich, nach harten Verhandlungen, offiziell wieder Weihnachtslieder hören. Im Radio machen sie das schon seit Monaten - jedenfall immer eins am Morgen des jeweilig 25. eines Monats. Aber jetzt kann ich ja wieder...und hier gleich mein neuer Superfavorit von Dean Martin:

Baby, It´s Cold Outside (..yes, it is - nur noch 25 Grad Höchsttemparatur)
I really can't stay
- but Baby it's cold outside

I've got to go away
- but Baby it's cold outside

This evening has been
- been hoping that you'd drop in

So very nice
- I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start worry
- beautiful what´s your hurry

My father will be pacing the floor
- listen to the fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry
- beautiful please don't hurry

Well, but maybe just a half a drink more
- put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think
- baby it's bad out there

Say what's in this drink
- no cabs to be had out there

I wish I knew how
- your eyes are like starlight now

To break this spell
- I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say "no, no, no sir"
- mind if I move in closer

At least I'm gonna say that I tried
- what's the sense in hurtin' my pride

I really can't stay
- oh Baby don't hold out
Baby it's cold out side

I simply must go
- but Baby it's cold outside

The answer is no
- but Baby it's cold outside

Your welcome has been
- how lucky that you droped in

So nice and warm
- look out the window at the snow

My sister will be suspicious
- gosh your lips look delcious

My brother will be there at the door
- waves upon the tropical shore

My maiden aunts mind is vicious
- gosh your lips are delicous

But maybe just a cigarette more
- never such a blizzard before

I've gotta get home
- but Baby you'd freeze out there

Say lend me a coat
- it's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand
-I thrill when you touch my hand

But don't you see?
- how can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
- think of my lifelong sorrow

At least there will be plenty implied
- if you got pneumonia and died

I really can't stay
- get over that old doubt

Baby it's cold
- Baby it's cold outside
