I'm a stranger here myself

Mijn bijdrage voor DiDi van deze week is een nummer van de CD Transit Cellophane van Night Hawks At The Diner. Luister hier naar de MP3. De tekst is van Ogden Nash, de muziek van Kurl Weill en het arrangement van Bob Wisselink. We zagen NATD nog niet zo erg lang geleden in het Beauforthuis en waren er erg van onder de indruk. De foto is van Hans en voor de gelegenheid bewerkt door mij.
Tell me is love
still a popular suggestion
or merely an obsolete art
forgive me for asking
this simple question
I'm unfamiliar with her heart
I'm a stranger here myself
Why is it wrong
to murmur i adore her
when it's shamefully obvious i do
does love embarrass her
or does it bore her
I'm only waiting for my cue
I'm a stranger here myself
I dream of a day
of a gay warm day
with her face between my hands
Have I missed the path
have I gone astray
I ask and no one understands
Love me or leave me
that seems to be the question
I don't no the tactics to use
but if she should make
a personal suggestion
how could I possibly refuse
when i'm a stranger here myself
Please tell me tell a stranger
by curiosity goaded
is there really any danger
that love is now outmoded
I'm interested especially
in knowing why you waste it
true romance is so fleshly
with what have you replaced it
what is your latest foible
is gin rummy more exquisite
is skiing more enjoyable
for heaven's sake what is it
I can't believe
that love has lost it's glamour
that passion is really pass���©
if gender is just a word in grammar
how can i ever find my way
I'm a stranger here myself
How can she ignore
my available position
why these victorian views
you see here before you
a man with a mission
I must discover
the key to her ignition
and then if she should make
a diplomatic proposition
how could I possibly refuse
I'm a stranger here myself

Ha, die zit ik net te luisteren, maar dan gezongen door Anne Sofie von Otter!
