Lyric - Navy Blue (1964)

Navy Blue
Written by Bob Crewe, Eddie Rambeau & Bud Rehak, 1964
Performed by Diane Renay


Original Diane Renay version, stereo


Donna Lynn version, stereo


Karaoke version



Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la.)

He said he wanted to settle down,
And let me be his girl.
But first he had to do a little travelin' around,
And see the whole wide world.

That's why I'm,
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la.)

I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo,
And a souvenir.
A walky-talky, wind-up, little, China doll,
That says, "Wish you were here."

[Instrumental break]

Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la.)

He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pass.
A forty-eight hour day-ate.
That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast,
'Cause I can hardly wait.

Till then I'm,
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.

[Diane sings an elongated Ah-ahhhhhh's while backups repeat, "Blue, navy blue,
I'm as blue as I can be."]

Lyric - New Kid In Town (The Eagles, 1976)

New Kid In Town
Written by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, J.D. Souther
The Eagles
Asylum, December 7, 1976


There's talk on the street; it sounds so familiar
Great expectations, everybody's watching you
The people you meet, they all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you're something new

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Everybody loves you, so don't let them down

You look in her eyes; the music begins to play
Hopeless romantics, here we go again
But after awhile, you're lookin' the other way
It's those restless hearts that never mend

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Will she still love you when you're not around?

There's so many things you should have told her,
but night after night you're willing to hold her,
Just hold her, tears on your shoulder

There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you
That it doesn't really matter which side you're on.
You're walking away and they're talking behind you
They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along

Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town
Everybody loves him, don't they?
Now he's holding her, and you're still around

Oh, my, my
There's a new kid in town
Just another new kid in town
Ooh, hoo
Everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town,
Ooh, hoo
Everybody's walking' like the new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
Theres a new kid in town people started walking
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town

Naam Yi Dong Ji Keung (Once Upon a Time in China)


O hei o siu man chung long
Yit huet yit sing hung yat gwong
Gwat ji jing gong
Hung kam baak chin jeung
Ngaan gwong maan lei cheung
Sai fen yiu faat ji keung
Jo ho hon
Jo goh ho hon ji
Mui tin yiu ji keung
Bit sing hung yat gwong
Yeung hoi tin wai ngoh jeui neng leung
Heui hoi tin pik dei
Wai ngoh leiseung heui cheung
Hon bik boh go jong
Yau hon bik hung gwong fut ho hei yeung
Gei si naam yi dong ji keung
On bo ding hung dai ga jok dung leung
Jo ho hon
Yung ngoh baak dim yit
Yiu chut chin fen gwong
Jo goh ho hon ji
Yit huet yit cheung yit
Bit sing hung yat gwong
