Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lorelei (Leiber & Stoller)- per Donegan From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 04 Aug 17 - 10:15 AM I think Joe's transcription of "toast" not "soap" makes more sense. Estimable? I don't think so! RtS |
Subject: Lyr Add: LORELEI (Leiber & Stoller)- per Donegan From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Aug 17 - 12:09 AM Here's my transcription: LORELEI (Leiber & Stoller) I kissed a girl in Burma, in a town they call Rangoon Her lips were hot as curry in the heat of the afternoon Her kisses were so spicy, I thought my lips would fry (CHORUS:) But I never knew what kissing was till I kissed Lorelei Lorelei, Lorelei, Lorelei. I kissed a girl in Africa, I'd only had a hope That every time she kissed me back my ears would burn to toast She kissed me ocean-deeply and she kissed me mountain-high But... (CHORUS) I kissed a girl in London town, right underneath Big Ben And as her lips was a-touching mine, the clock was striking ten She kissed me there in April and it lasted till July But...(CHORUS) I kissed a girl in the Holy Land by the Sea of Galilee She fed me dates and olives underneath a lemon tree She kissed me till my sunburnt lips were twisted, parched, and dry But...(CHORUS) You think that I'm just lying, you think she don't exist But if she ever kissed you, boys, you know that you've been kissed For kissing is her specialty, her one and only dish 'Cause Lorelei's a mermaid, half a woman, half a fish Lorelei, Lorelei, Lorelei. |
Subject: Lyr Req: Lorelei (Leiber & Stoller)- per Donegan From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Aug 17 - 12:07 AM The estimable Roger the Skiffler posted these lyrics. His transcription is good, but I have my disagreements. Please listen to the recording and suggest corrections to my transcription.

This is Leiber & Stoller's Lorelei transcribed from Lonnie's recording. It is very fast so I'm not surprised Claude had problems, I had to listen to it in bits: |
