Carmelita 05:41
1.Carmelita, none of us had met her Till the day we went on tour ;Cause she said ‘I’m looking for adventure Even if the money’s not sure Even if the money’s not sure Carmelita Carmelita Plays the slide trombone Carmelita come and see her Playing the double saxophone 2.Carmelita lit up all the stages When she wiggled, giggled like a child When she played and shook her blonde dreadlocks Drove the audiences wild 3. Carmelita hit the bars in Europe On her shoulder slung her horn Belgium, Holland, Denmark and The Faroes Partied every night till dawn 4. Carmelita came and saw and conquered Carmelita went back home Now she’s gigging round the South Island Sends us texts on her cell-phone Montuno: Carmelita You’re a star Muy bonita Wunderbar

Shadrak, Mishak, Abednego Now Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon He built a huge idol of gold He also built a fiery furnace And the people they all got told ‘When you hear the accordion, the saxophone and mandolin If you don’t bow down We’re gonna throw you in!” FIRST, SECOND, THIRD CHORUS Shadrak, Mishak, Mishak, Abednego 2.There were three Israelites in that land Who were men of high distinction They said “We won’t bow down And worship no idol Even if it means extinction They were Shadrak, Mishak and Abednego They said ‘Sorry, king, it’s not a go! 3.Now the king got so mad He commanded the furnace to be stoked seven times higher He said “Tie them up and throw them in!” And they were cast into the fire But when the king looked inside He got a real surprise ‘Cause those three guys were still walking round inside 4.And when Shadrak and his boys walked out Not a hair on their heads was singed And the king said “The god of the Israelites Is stronger than anything ‘Cause they wouldn’t bow down So he saved their skin Let’s party with the saxophone and mandolin!” LAST CHORUS Shadrak, Mishak, Mishak, Abednego Came out from the fire Don’t you know (And all the people said)

about

With this new album, The JBB stretch out way beyond their original klezmer job description. From Too Much Talent, written by Arif Usmani (Mordechai What a Guy), to the Brecht/Weill Alabama Song, to live versions of the now classic Go Down Moses and The Millenium Swng, this album is a never-let-up swinging affair from start to finish!"
