It hasn’t snowed a single flurry
But Santa dear, we’re in a hurry
It’s X-Mas on the Isthmus of Panama
We’re listless this Christmas
No Santa Claus
Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Panama, Panama
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Panama!
I dropped a bundle down in Panama
But the loss didn’t do me no good
Spendin’ cash and talkin’ trash
Don’t do it like it should
I realized I just couldn’t buy her smile
I’ll keep trying on that Pan Am mile by mile
(“Pan Am Highway Blues,” ZZ Top)
She’s runnin’, I’m flyin’
Right behind in the rearview mirror now
Got the fearin’, power steerin’
Pistons poppin’, ain’t no stoppin’ now
Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama
I hired a coach to take me from confusion to the plane
And though we shared a common space I know I’ll never meet again
The driver with his eyebrows furrowed in the rear-view mirror
I read his name and it was plainly written Nathan La Franeer
t took a while, but she looked in the mirror
And she glanced at the license for my name
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
It was a sad smile, just the same
And she said, How are you Harry
I said, How are you Sue
Through the too many miles
And the too little smiles
I still remember you
Sorry - gotta go back a few lyrics…
Panama red, panama red
He’ll steal your woman, then he’ll rob your head
Panama red, panama red
On his white horse, mescalito
He come breezin’ through town
I’ll bet your woman’s up in bed with
Panama red
Panama Red - New Riders of the Purple Sage
You don’t know what it does to me
My crimson sin intensity
I’m haunted by the mystery
The mystery of red
(Red!)
Knocks 'em dead
Some like it hot, I like it Red
So let’s get to the point, let’s roll another joint
And let’s head on down the road, there’s somewhere I gotta go
You don’t know how it feels
You don’t know how it feels to be me
It’s good to be king.
Ooh it’s so good, it’s so good
It’s so good, it’s so good
It’s so good
Ooh I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love
And then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m in love
I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave her
If I tried
If you leave me now
You’ll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh no, baby, please don’t go
And if you leave me now
You’ll take away the very heart of me
Ooh no, baby, please don’t go
Ooh girl, I just want you to stay
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things’ll get brighter
I did you wrong, my heart went out to play
But in the game I lost you
What a price to pay, hey I’m crying
Ooo, baby, baby
Ooo, baby, baby
Games people play, you take it or you leave it
Things that they say are not right
If I promised you the moon and the stars, would you believe it?
Games people play in the middle of the night
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Games People Play – Joe South
-“BB”-
Games people play
Night or day they’re just not matchin’
What they should do
Keeps me feelin’ blue
Been down too long
Right, wrong, they just can’t stop it
Spendin’ all day
Thinking just of you
Siam’s gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
