Song: Elvis Presley „In the ghetto”:
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his mama cries
'Cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need
It’s another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
People, don’t you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he’ll grow to be an angry young man some day?
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads, and look the other way?
Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
Then one…

Song: Fool’s Garden „Lemon Tree”:
I’m sittin’ here in the boring room
It’s just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I’m wasting my time
I got nothin’ to do
I’m hangin’ around
I’m waitin’ for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I’m drivin’ around in my car
I’m drivin’ too fast
I’m drivin’ too far
I’d like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I’m waitin’ for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me ’bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I’m turnin’ my head up and down
I’m turnin’, turnin’, turnin’, turnin’, turnin’ around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
Sing!
Dap-dadada-dadpm-didap-da

I’d like to go out takin’ a shower
