Lisa Stansfield Swing-Soundtrack Lyrics
1.Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens

(j. cramer/j. whitney)

One night farmer brown was taken the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the henhouse somethin' stirred
When he shouted,'who's there?', this is what he heard

There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here
at all
So calm yourself, stop that fuss, ain't nobody here but us
We're chickens trying to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble with your chin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here
at all
You're stompin' around, shakin' the ground, kickin' up an aweful
dust
We're chickens trying to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin

(bridge)
Tomorrow is a busy day, we've got things to do, we've got eggs
to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
Takes a lot of sittin' gettin' chicks to hatch
There ain't nobody here but us chickens, there ain't nobody here
at all
So quiet yourself, stop that fuss, ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

(repeat bridge)

It's easy pickin', ain't nobody here but us chickens


2.Ain't What You Do

(s. oliver/j. young)

When i was a kid, about half past three
My ma said daughter, come here to me
Says, things may come and things may go
But this is one thing you ought to know

(chorus1)
Ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it (x3)
That's what gets results

Ain't what you do, it's time that you do it (x3)
That's what gets results

You can try hard, don't mean a thing
Take it easy, easy, in the jive'n swing

Ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
Aint what you do, it's the time that you do it
Ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
That's what gets results

You've learned your abcs, you've learned your dfgs
But this is something you don't learn in school
So get your hip boots on, and then you carry on
But remember not to try too hard or it don't mean a thing

(chorus)

Ain't what you do, it's the time you do it (2x)
Ain't what you sing it's the way that you sing it
That's what gets results (2x)


3.Baby, I Need Your Lovin'

(b. holland/l. dozier/e. holland)

Baby, i need your lovin', i need your lovin'
Although you're never here, your voice i often hear
Another day, another night, i long to hold you tight
'cause i'm so lonely

(chorus)
Baby, i need your lovin', got to have all your lovin'
Baby, i need your lovin', got to have all your lovin'

Some say it's a sign of weakness for someone to have to beg
Then weak i'd rather be, if it means having you to keep
'cause lately i've been losing sleep

(chorus x 2)

Every night, i call your name
Sometimes i wonder, will it ever be the same
Darlin' i can't go on without you
This emptiness won't let me live without you
This loneliness inside me darlin'
Makes me feel half alive

(chorus x 2)

Baby


4.Blitzkrieg Baby

(f. fisher/d. fisher)

(chorus)
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me
'cause i'm pleading neutrality
Got my gun, now can't you see
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me
Blitzkrieg baby, you look so cute
All dressed up in your parachute
Let that propaganda be
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me

(bridge)
I'll give you warnin', 'cause i'm afraid i'll have to raid
So take my warnin', or else you'll get this hand grenade

(chorus 2)
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me
Better save up your tnt
I don't want no infantry
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me

Blitzkrieg baby, blitzkrieg baby, blitzkrieg baby
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me

(chorus)

(bridge)

(chorus 2)

Blitzkrieg baby, blitzkrieg baby, blitzkrieg baby
Blitzkrieg baby, you can't bomb me


5.Gotta Get On This Train


6.I Thought That's What You Liked About Me


7.Love Theme


8.Mack The Knife

(k. weill/b. brecht/m. blitzestien)

Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has macheath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears macheath, dear
So there's not a trace of red

On the sidewalk, sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking round the corner
I'll bet that someone, someone's mack the knife

From a tug boat by the river
A cement bag's dropping down
The cement's just, just for the weight, dear
Bet you, i'll bet you mack is back in town

Louie miller, he disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And macheath spends like a sailor
Did the boy, did the boy do something rash?

Sukey tawdry, jenny diver
Polly peachum, and lucy brown
Oh the line forms on the right, dear
Now that macky's back in town (x2)


9.Martin's Theme


10.Our Love Is Here To Stay

(g. gershwin/i. gershwin)

It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for one year, but forever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies, but in time they grow

(chorus)
But oh my dear, our love is here to stay
Not for one year but forever and a day
In time the rockies may crumble, gibralter may tumble, they're
only made of clay

But our love is here to stay

(chorus)

But our love is here
Our love is here
Our love is here to stay


11.The Best Is Yet To Come

(s. colman/c. leigh)

Out of the tree of life i just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

The best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine
You think you've seen the sun but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till that warmup's underway, wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day, you ain't seen nothin' yet

(chorus)
The best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that you're mine

Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry

Wait 'till your charms are ripe for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before but honey, you ain't left the
ground
Wait 'till you're locked in my embrace, wait 'till i draw you
near
Wait 'till you see that sunshine place, ain't nothin' like it
here

(chorus)

Come the day your mine
And you're gonna be mine


12.Two Years Too Blue

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/r. darbyshire/n. mead)

Look at all the things we've been through
Look at all that we did, and we promised to do
There was me, there was you
Two years to blue

I still feel that magic from this
I still feel that spark
With your touch, with your kiss
So such bliss, and then this
Two years to blue

But now we've got eternity and we can't go wrong
Baby, we can do as we please
'cause our electricity could light up this city, baby
We'll charm the birds from the trees

Look at all of the things we've been through
Now let's do everything that we promised to do
Still there's me, still there's you
It's brand new after two years too blue
Two years too blue (x2)
Much too much, too much, too much (x2)
Too blue (x2)
You're here baby, i'm here baby (x2)
After two years too blue.


13.Watch The Birdie

(d. raye/g. paul)

(chorus)
Watch the birdie and take a camera candid shot
Watch the birdie, come on and give it all you got
Watch the birdie, just look around and pick a spot and hold it
(chorus 2)
Watch the birdie, just strike a funny pose a while
Watch the birdie and you can beat that pose a mile
Watch the birdie, let me see your pretty smile and hold it

(bridge)
Looking for a tall dark handsome man
With eyes of blue and golden tan
Strong white teeth like joel mccrea
Hey you, get out of the way

(chorus)

(chorus)

(chorus 2)

(bridge)

(chorus)

Watch the birdie
Watch the birdie


14.Why Do We Call It Love

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/r. darbyshire)

(chorus)
Why do we call it love baby, why do we call it love
Love is something that is sent from heaven up above
Why do we call it love baby, what were we thinking of
I feel it shakin' in my bones, and i'm feelin' awful rough

(bridge)
If sugar is sweet, then there's too much in my tea
And i'm sick to my stomach when you creep up on me
Every time that we (ooh), every time we kiss and hug
My insides do the jitterbug, why do we call it love

Why do we call it love

(chorus)

(bridge)

Why do we call it, why do we call it love
Why do we call it, why do we call it, why do we call it love

(bridge)

Why do we call it love (5x)
