This Brought Back Memories!

[Caran]

I was looking at the map to see where we were going and I spotted it.
Katzenellenbogen!
Do you remember it?
There's a tiny house, by a tiny stream
Where a lovely lass had a lovely dream
And the dream came true quite unexpectedly
In Gillygillyossenfeller Katzenellenbogen by the sea.
Couldn't believe I still remembered the words.
Was it Alma Cogan or Lita Roza or someone else?
We just had to go and have a look. It didn't measure up to its grand name not a lot there, disappointing.

Thanks Togo, that took me back a while as well.
There are lots of great posts on here you lovely people.

Thanks for that Caran. I always wondered what the hell Max Bygraves was singing! Now I know, very interesting.

When it's Spring again I'll bring again
Tulips from Amsterdam;
With a heart that's true I'll give to you
Tulips from Amsterdam.
I can't wait until the day you fill
These eager arms of mine
Like the windmill keeps on turning
That's how my heart keeps on yearning
For the day I know we can
Share those tulips from Amsterdam.

Key of F major. Used to play it on the piano in the 1950's.

Thanks for the memory Caran;-), when my sister and I were very young in the early 60s,my mother used to sing that to us all the time! We had never heard of it before!

You need hands
To hold someone you care for
You need hands
To show that you're sincere
When you feel
nobody wants to know you
You need hands
to brush away your tear

When you hold a brand new baby
You need tender hands to guide them on their way
You need hands
to thank the Lord for living
and for giving us this day
Max Bygraves.
