MAZEL TOV COCKTAIL PARTY ALBUM LYRICS
Krakky’s Rainbow Polka (Makonnen)
Silence the rights
Silence the minds
but keep your eyes
on the dress
keep your eyes
on the mask
Keep your eyes on the goal
Standing in the colors of the rainbow
Flag up
Less fear
better understanding
Pointing fingers
and our arms are all burning
Screams and shouts
Til’ we all go def
Find some peace
cuz there’s not much left
Space for some
means space for none
Space for none
means we all go dumb
Dumbo(s) caught up in a zoo, unaware
that our differences make us fly up in the air
A little bit of this, little bit of that
A little bit of tolerance is where it’s at
Take a little bite from something unknown
like it or not, To each its own
Jammin’ with Socalled (Makonnen)
Living for the city
Up North in MTL, we know how to party
Good people, good food
Out in the park or
Hanging at the social club
Mile end to the Havre
And when the city comes alive
On that permanent take 5
Lay it back, lay it low
Lay out your good vibes
Put aside your drama
Wanna have a good time
From the east to west
Th’ English and the French
Lawrence, Catherine and all your good friends
Royal to the Mount like numbers are to Count
We are a different time
Party like it’s 1999
Coffee sipping, poutine eating
Yeah, we dining on a dime
Winter was so long
Now we in the sunshine
Real Pretty, Real City home I call mine
Wedding on the Cyclone (Makonnen)
Better get up off your seat
Better get up on your feet
Better move and grab a hand
It is time for Hora dance
Kick it left, Kick it right
Cross over, jump all night
It’s a throwdown, not a lockdown
Better join the cypher now
Mazel Tov Cocktail Party (Krakauer)
Get unplugged, Don’t be afraid, Look your neighbor in the eye, and wish ‘em well
And raise a glass, of a sizzlin’ brew, To light up the world, and make things new
At the Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov…..
Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov
Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov
Mazel Tov Cocktail Party
Let’s light up the world 4X
North Country Square Dance (Makonnen)
Check it
Hold it down on the floor
Tip tip toeing til’ we move some more
Step to the front
everyone in line
Lend a hand
If you wanna have a good time
Oh my
It’s quite the party
Get on the good foot
follow Krakky
Turn around
Find partner
Switch it up
Move faster
Tap that foot to the rhythm of the drums
Clap your hands like your trying to catch a bug
Use the spoons like a knife to a fight
Don’t fork around, we just trying to stay alive
So we slide to the left
Slide to the right
Slide together
we be up all night
Jump around to a Gilles Vigneault tune
There’s nothing like a square dance to get you in the mood
bout to have a good time (repeated)
Swing la bacaisse dans l’fond la boîte à bois
Frappe des mains deux fois, deux fois
Côte and Côte
on danse ensemble
le set carré
All night, All night x3
Côte à côte
on danse ensemble
Le square dance
All alright all right
Bella’s Calypso (Bella suit son cœur) (Makonnen)
Bella chante de tout coeur
Dans les clubs, dans les bars
Elle y laisse son âme, se donne
À chaque soir
Bella bouge sur la scène
Prise en transe par le rythme
Des tambours annonçant
Que les changements arrivent vite
Dans tous les sens
Autour du monde
Elle prend sa chance
Derrière le micro (x2)
Bella bella fonce droit devant
Bella Bella suit son coeur
Bella bella dans la cadence
Dit ce qu’elle pense sans peur (x2)
Bella joue les chansons
Qui amènent les différences
Sur les sons du Calypso
Elle entame la danse
Bella trouve toujours les mots
Pour dire ce qu’elle pense
Sans retenu, sans retour
Elle ne tourne pas sa langue
Dans tous les sens
Autour du monde
Elle prend sa chance
Derrière le micro (x2)
Bella bella fonce droit devant
Bella Bella suit son coeur
Bella bella dans la cadence
Dit ce qu’elle pense sans peur (x2)
