<Mouskouri sings the original greek lyric "Τα παιδιά του Πειραιά, Ta Paidia tou Peiraia" (The children of Piraeus) while Eydie Gorme does "I Love to Dance, but Never on Sunday">
Never on Sunday
Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday, a Monday, a Monday
Is very, very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday, a Tuesday, a Tuesday
In fact, I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday, a Thursday, a
Friday and Saturday is best
But never, ever on a Sunday, a Sunday, a Sunday
'Cause that's my day of rest
Most anyday you can be my guest
Anyday you say but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day, a wet day
Whichever one you choose
Or try to kiss me on a grey day, a May day, a pay day
And see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleake day, a freak day or a week day
Well, you can be my guest
But never, ever on a Sunday, a Sunday, the one day
I need a little rest
Oh, you can kiss me on a week day, a week day, a week day
The day to be my guest
Mama Teach Me to Dance
Mama, teach me to dance, mama, teach me to dance
Think of all the fun you had when you and dad would cut a rug
Then you'd kiss and you'd hug
Mama, show me the way, how to sway when they play
If I knew a step or two the same as you,
I'd have a chance for romance at a dance
Suppose I meet somebody very sweet
If he says, oh, I would love to dance with you
What do I do
Mama, teach me to dance, once I learn how to dance
You can leave the rest to me, and, never fear
You're gonna hear wedding bells, mama, dear
La-la-la-la-la-la-la Mama, quiero bailar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la Mama, quiero bailar
Think of all the fun you had when you and dad would cut a rug
Then you'd kiss and you'd hug
La-la-la-la-la-la-la mama, quiero bailar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la mama, quiero bailar
If I knew a step or two the same as you
I'd have a chance for romance at a dance
Suppose I meet somebody very sweet
If he says, oh, I would love to dance with you
What do I do
Mama, teach me to dance, once I learn how to dance
You can leave the rest to me, and, never fear
You're gonna hear wedding bells, mama, dear
Wedding bells, mama, dear
Mama Teach Me to Dance
Mama, teach me to dance, mama, teach me to dance
Think of all the fun you had when you and dad would cut a rug
Then you'd kiss and you'd hug
Mama, show me the way, how to sway when they play
If I knew a step or two the same as you,
I'd have a chance for romance at a dance
Suppose I meet somebody very sweet
If he says, oh, I would love to dance with you
What do I do
Mama, teach me to dance, once I learn how to dance
You can leave the rest to me, and, never fear
You're gonna hear wedding bells, mama, dear
La-la-la-la-la-la-la Mama, quiero bailar
La-la-la-la-la-la-la Mama, quiero bailar
Think of all the fun you had when you and dad would cut a rug
Then you'd kiss and you'd hug

Wedding bells, mama, dear
