This is the Mannheim Song and Ballad. Mannheim, the Mozart-city, it´s past and present. Instead of street-names, Mannheim city has squares Alpha + Numbers. So if you are using handy-talk and say U2. it could mean that you live in square U2 (and not you too) !
Did you know that Amadeus´( Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) used to visit Mannheim often. The story (the real story) goes that Amadeus fall in love with a Mannheim- girl and married that girl´s sister!
We don´t have a walk of Fame where you´ll see Mozart´s handprints. But we have Walls of fame!
Other who´s who from Mannheim : Drais ( Bicycle), Benz (from Mercedes Benz) and the Olympic Song Messengers.
This is a rough home recording. Acoustic guitars and Indo-flamenco-percussion plyed on acoustic guitar.

Lyrics :

(Mannheim Song & Ballad)

Chorus C 1 ( Sung ) :

Yemm, eh, yenn, yenn, etch, ih, Aye, yemm
M a n n h e i m
This is the town youve got 2 C
This is the place youve got 2 B 2
N all your friends, U need 2 bring M 2

Yemm, eh, yenn, yenn, etch, ih, Aye, yemm
This is the town youve got 2 C
This is the place youve got 2 B 2

TheBirthDayGirl

Verse M 1 ( Sung ) :

Shes so young, dont get me wrong
Shes so wise, shes just like a song
4 hundred miles, shes travelled along
Were gonna celebrate this, with a bang
Its gonna B her Birthday Swing

In the year two thousand seven
Were gonna light up the skies and the heaven
Part of this Party, U can B 2
And all of your friends, we say S 4 M 2
This Celebration, thats 4 U 2

(Amadeus And RocknRoll)

Verse M 2 ( Sung ) :

N Goethe used 2 B ravin about her
Amadeus stayed downtown, remember
Worked on his number, around the clock
And found his love lock, just around the block
This is somethin that we all wanna talk

Wrote some hits, and some Rock n Roll
And, if we were there, thats what wed call
May B then, it was a cultural shock, still
Songs 4 U, N 4 me, and for all
Itll never B dull, this we can tell, no overkill

(Talkin About Her)

Verse M 3 ( Spoken / Sung ) :

U can get your tan on the riverside
Theres no ban, you can take a ride
U can take a walk on the wild side

Weve got so many things
Within our Rings

N the castle you C
But no aristocracy
The Barons and the King and the Queen
Theyre all part of our History
And quite a bit of it, Her-Story
Now, its all science and chemistry
Quite a lot of it poetry

And if U wanna go from A 2 B 2
Just turn around the block,
She has M 2
All within a walk
One hundred N 4 T 4
No, no, no, itll never be a bore
No, no, no, itll never be a bore

Its like in game of good old chess
You wont be confused, and theres no mess
You will surely be comin across
Some of them Squares,
And some of them cubes
Triangles and curves
Youd definitely know the purpose it serves
No, no, no, youll never B lost
Cause we R all here
N she loves 2 host

(Mannheim Ballad)

Verse M 4 ( Spoken / Sung ) :

And music is her chosen tongue
This has been so, for so very long
Poets, Buskers, Balladeers and troubadours
Have passed through her doors

Merchants and Tradesmen with their wares
On her rivers have rested their oars
Seekers of freedom, faith and fortune were they
Who came to her and could stand at bay

Pilgrims on their way
Theyve come by to stay
Cause their burdens she could allay
And when the skies were all gray
Theyve knelt down here to pray

Peace cometh after the wars
The damages and the scars

She has kept her ways
Between the past and the present days
The future before her lays
And what lays beyond the shores
She more than cares

The adventures she dares
Cause of the burden she bears
All her desires it bares

Without cause for fears
To new heights she soars
For she has an obligation to her heirs
Cause tomorrow is theirs
