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
With a beat up Chevrolet
But that driver man Jose
Knows his way around Tijuana town.
Stand Navy out to sea, fight our battle cry!
We’ll never change our course so vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y!
Roll out the TNT, anchors aweigh!
Sail on to victory, and sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

Song lyrics to An Ordinary Man, Music by Frederick Loewe, Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, sung by Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady Colonel Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White): Higgins, forgive the bluntness,But if I’m to be…
I poured my heart into a song,
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 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
The things we did last summer
