SONG WORDS
PUNTO NERO
VERSE 1: (Spanish Accent)
You take us to the gate of El Dorado,
You say that there will be much dinaro.
We’re not afraid of dying, But we’re fed up with your lying,
I think we reached the point of punto nero.
VERSE 2: (Cockney / Cornish accent)
Now lookee here my faithful caballeros,
This ain’t no time for talking pistoleros.
The gold is here for takin’, so quit your belly-achin’,
Or I’ll leave you in the sun with no sombrero.
CHORUS: (No accent) Punto nero, punto nero, It’s looking like the end of your careero. I’m sorry but the punishment’s severo, For no-one can escape the punto nero.
RAP: There’s a booty waiting for you, worth your weight in gold, Lost treasure from the days of old.
So listen to me now, you gonna sell your soul, Get into the rhythm, start digging a hole.
Coz I’m down with it, Like a treasure chest. Come around with it, We’re gonna take the rest.
I’m down with it, I’m on the money trail. Come around with it, We cannot fail.
JIM’S BLUES
VERSE 1:
When the moon and the stars are shining up above, They seem to be calling my name.
The sound of the ocean – its never-ending motion, I feel myself floating away.
I’m longing for adventure, but nothing ever comes my way.
VERSE 2:
The sun in the morning, the deep blue is calling, I’m sailing on clouds in the sky.
But I’m only dreaming, my life has no meaning, I know that I’m drifting away.
I’m longing for adventure, but nothing ever comes my way.
MIDDLE 8:
It’s early in the mornin’, I’m scrubbin’ down the floor – my workin’ day’s from dusk ’til dawn.
I seem to have no leisure, I dream of buried treasure, I can’t take it no more…
SCAT……. (make it up!)
