Tijuana Taxi [song lyrics]
Song lyrics to Tijuana Taxi, written by Bud Coleman (September 1965), recorded by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass
Down in old Tijuana town
There’s this happy honkin’ sound,
Something you just can’t put down
It’s the world renown Tijuana Taxi cab.
So, you’re not impressed you say

But that driver man Jose
Knows his way around Tijuana town.

I Poured My Heart Into a Song [song lyrics]
Song lyrics to I Poured My Heart into a Song, written by Irving Berlin, sung by Rudy Vallee in Second Fiddle

And when you hear it, please remember from the start
You won’t be hearing just the words of a song,
Tou will be listening to my heart.
I poured my heart into a song,
And I’m afraid the words I chose are not so smart;
I couldn’t think of clever things to say in my song,
I had to say it with my heart.

The boat rides we would take
The moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our favorite song
