That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
They told me I was such a fool to love you.
They said that you're the kind who'd never be true.
Pretty soon the day would come when I'd be the sorry one.
But I said that I'm not afraid.
Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
I went ahead and my heart opened the door.
I gave you so much love. No one could love more.
You pretended to be mine. How could you be so unkind,
with all the other girls you play?
Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
Woah-oh-oh, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
I know you're not sincere and you'll never be.
But still I want those kisses so desperately.
I could never let you go, baby even though I know
every rule in love you disobeyed.
Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.

Girl, we've got work to do
Pass me the paint and glue
Perfect isn't easy but it's me
When one knows the world is watching
One does what one must
Some minor adjustments darling
Not for my vanity but for humanity
Each little step a pose
See, how the breeding shows
Sometimes, it's too much for even me
When all of the world says yes
Then, who am I to say no?
Don't ask a mutt to strut like a showgirl
No, girl, you need a pro
Not a flea or a flaw, take a peek at that paw
La, da-da, dee, dee, da
Perfection becomes me, n'est ce pas?
Unrivaled, unruffled I'm beauty unleashed
(Yeah)
Jaws drop, hearts stop, so classic and classy
We're not talkin' Lassie
La, ah, ooh, aroo
Ruff, ruff ruff ruff ruff
Ruff-ruff-ruff-ruff-ruff-ruff-ruff-arow
Though many covet my bone and bowl
They're barkin' up the wrong tree
You pretty pups all over the city
I have your hearts and you have my pity
Pretty is nice, but still, it's just pretty

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Mm, your love is lifting me higher
than I ever been lifted before.
Ooh, baby, keep it up, sweet baby.
Quench my desire,
and I'll be at your side forever more.
'Cause your love is liftin' me higher and higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me, oh, higher, higher.
Now once I was down-hearted,
and disappointment was my closest friend.
But then you came,
and he soon departed.
And you know I never seen,
I haven't seen his face again!
Your love is liftin' me
higher, higher, higher, higher.
Your love is liftin' me
higher, higher, higher and higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me,
keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
higher, higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me,
keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
higher, higher.
So glad I finally found you, babe.
You're the best for these old arms.
With those sweet, sweet lovin' arms around me,
I tell you I don't need,
I don't need,
I-oh-I don't need no disguise, no!
Your love is liftin' me,
keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
higher, higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me,
keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
higher, higher.
Your love is liftin' me,
whoa, higher, higher, higher, higher,
higher, higher, higher, higher.
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher,
gettin' higher, gettin' higher.
You lift me, you take me
higher and higher.
Higher, higher, higher, higher!
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Higher, higher, oh, higher, higher,
higher, higher, higher, higher,
higher, higher, higher,
higher and higher

You'll never know just how much I miss you.
You'll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you.
You oughtta know, for haven't I told you so
a million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you.
I speak your name in my every prayer.
If there is some other way to prove that I love you,
I swear I don't know how.

You don't own me
I'm not just one of your little toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys
And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
You don't own me
Don't try to change me in anyway
You don't own me
Don't tie me down, cos I'll never stay
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young, (I'm young) and I love to be young
I'm free, (so free) and I love to be free
To live my life the way that I want
To say and do whatever I please
You Don't Own Me

The sun is shining, the grass is green,
the orange and palm trees sway.
There's never been such a day
in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty fourth,
and I am longing to be up north.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases,
all your Christmases,

When the bells all ring
And the horns all blow
And the coubles we know
Are fondly kissing
Will I be with you
Or will I be amoung the missing
Maybe it's much too early in the game
Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same.
What are you doing New Year's... New Year's eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night?
Welcoming in the New Year... New Year's eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose...
Out of the thousand invitations you'll received ?
But in case I stand one little chance,
Here comes the jackpot question in advance...
What are you doing New Year's... New Year's Eve?
Out of the thousand invitations you'll received ?
Oh, but in case I stand one little chance,
Here comes the jackpot question in advance...
What are you doing New Year's... New Year's Eve?

Oh, the sun beats down
and burns the tar up on the roof.
And your shoes get so hot,
you wish your tired feet were fireproof.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
From the park you hear
happy sounds from the carousel.
You can almost taste the hot dogs
and french fries they sell.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
Out of the sun.
We'll be havin' some fun.
People walkin' above.
We'll be fallin' in love
under the boardwalk, boardwalk.
Oooh, la la la la la la.
Oooh, la la la la la la la la la.
Help me somebody, sing some la la's with me.
Under the night, under the stars by the raging sea.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
Out of the sun.
We'll be havin' some fun.
People walkin', walkin'.
We'll be falling in love.
Out of the sun.
We'll be havin' some fun.
Everybody walkin', walkin', walkin'.

Wind storm, comes the sound
From the stars my dark has come
You've gone from me
Woah, tragedy
Woah, tragedy
Woah, come back, help me here
Call me my love, love, be sincere
You've gone, you've gone
You've gone from me
Woah, tragedy
Woah, tragedy
Like smoke from a fire of love, love, love
Oh, our dreams have all gone
A fire
Blown by wind, kissed by snow
All that's left is the dark
We know you've gone from me
Why?
Tragedy

It was a hot afternoon
The last day of june,
And the sun was a demon.
The clouds were afraid.
One ten in the shade,
And the pavement was steamin’.
I told billy ray
In his red chevrolet
I needed time for some thinkin’.
He was just passing by
When I caught that boy’s eye,
And I swore it was winkin’.
I was thirty-one,
He was seventeen.
He knew nothing about love.
I knew everything.
But he sat right down
On the front porch swing,
And I wondered what the
Coming night would bring.
Sun closed my eyes,
Climbed to the skies.
It was starting to swelter.
The sweat trickled down
The front of my gown.
I thought it would melt me.
I threw back my hair
Like he wasn’t there
And I sipped, oooh, something coolin’.
My shoulders bare,
He tried not to stare,
Whoa, but I knew I wasn’t foolin’.
I looked deep into those eyes of blue,
I said, "boy, I know you’re young,
Don’t know what to say or do.
But stay with me ’til the sun goes away
And I will chase the boy in you away!"
Guess you know why
That kid caught my eyes,
Oooh, and why the memory still lingers.
Go back in my mind
To the very first time,
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I felt the touch of somebody’s fingers.
I go back in my mind
To the very first time
Oh, I felt the touch of somebody’s fingers.
And go, go back in my mind
To the very first time I felt . . .
I go back in my mind
To the very first time
I felt the touch
Of somebody’s fingers.
The first time.
The first time.

I used to walk with you
Along the avenue
Our hearts were carefree and gay
How could I know I'd lose you
Somewhere along the way
The friends we used to know
Would always smile, "Hello"
No love like our love,
They said
Then love slipped through our fingers
Somewhere along the way
I should forget
But in the loneliness of night
I start remembering .... everything
You're gone, and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be...
Part of me
So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander, I pray
That someday soon, I'll find you
Somewhere along the way---
Somewhere along the way...

He was too good to me.
How will I get along now?
So close he stood to me.
Everything seems all wrong now.
He would have brought me the sun.
Making me smile, that was his fun.
When I was mean to him
he'd never say, "Go away, now."
I was a queen to him.
Who's gonna light my way now?
It's only natural that I'm blue.
He was too good to be true.
You'd never recognize the room.
The pictures all have different frames now.
And all the chairs are rearranged now.
Somehow, I've thrown out every souvenir.
Yes, there've been changes made
since you stayed here.
You'd never recognize the street.
The neighbor's kids play different games now.
The colors in the trees have changed now.
Strange how I've hardly thought of you this year.
Yes, there've been changes made since you stayed here.
The same address, the more or less.
More happens, less matters, I guess.
You'd never recognize my life.
The party-givers know my name now.
And when I cry it's not the same now.
Somehow, I never waste a single tear.
Yes, there've been changes made
since you stayed here.
You'd never recognize the room.
You'd never recognize . . .

We'll, I'm leaving my family
I'm leaving all my freinds
My body's at home, but my heart's in the wind
And the clouds are like headlines
Upon a new frontpage sky
My tears are saltwater, the moon's full and high
And I know Joe Comrad
Would be proud of me
Many before me 'been called by the say:
'To be up in the crow's nest,
Singing my sayin':
Shiver me timbers, let's all sail away'
And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting
I'm drifting on out
Old captain Ahab's got nothing on me
Swallow me, don't follow me
I'm travelling alone
The water's my daughter
I'll skip like a stone
And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting
I'm drifting on out
Old captain Ahab's got nothing on me
Swallow me, don't follow me
I'm travelling alone
The water, she is my daughter
I'll skip like a stone
Won't you please call my family?
Tell 'em not to cry
My goodbyes are written by the moon in the sky
Say, nobody knows me
I got no reason to stay..
Shiver me timbers..
I'm sailing.. Away..
La la la la la la
la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la-ah la

Well I'm leaving my family
I'm leaving all my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
And the clouds are like headlines
Upon a new front page sky
My tears are salt water
The moon's full and high
And I know Joe Conrad would be proud of me
Many before me been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest singing my saying
Shiver me timbers let's all sail away
And the fog lifting
The sand shifting
I'm drifting on out
Old Captain Ahab got nothing on me
Swallow me, don't follow me
I'm traveling alone
The water's my daughter
I skip like a stone
And the fog lifting
The sand shifting
I'm drifting on out
Old Captain Ahab got nothing on me
Swallow me, don't follow me
I'm traveling alone
The water's my daughter
I skip like a stone
Won't you please call my family
Tell them not to cry
My goodbyes are written
By the moon in the sky
Say nobody knows me
I've got no reason to stay
Shiver me timbers
I'm sailing away
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, laaaa

Johnny: Okay. And once again, here's Bette Midler.
Bette: Well, you know, when they asked me to come on and . . .
I can't believe it! The last, the last guest. The last fool
Mr. Carson will have to suffer gladly. You are the wind beneath
my wings. Oh, well he is.
Quarter to three. There's no one in the place
except you and me.
So set 'em up, Joe. Got a little story
I think you should know.
We're drinkin', my friend, to the end
of a sweet episode.
Make it one for my baby
and one more for the road.
Got the routine. So drop another nickel
in the machine.
Oh, gee, I'm feelin' so bad. Wish you'd make the music
so dreamy and sad.
You could tell me a lot. But it's not
in a gentleman's code.
Let's make it one for my baby
and one more for the road.
You may not know it,
but buddy you're a kind of poet.
And you've had a lot of things to say.
And when I'm gloomy
you always listen to me,
until it's talked away.
Well, that's how it goes.
And John I know you're getting
anxious to close.
So, thanks for the cheer.
I hope you didn't mind me
bending your ear.
For all of the years,
for the laughs, for the tears,
for the class that you showed,
make it one for my baby
and one more for the road.
That long long road.
Johhny: Thank you, Bette. Ah.

We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some, so bring some out here
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;

Jingle bells upon a steel guitar
Through the chords we see the bright star
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas, a very very Merry Merry Christmas

You're out of the woods,
you're out of the dark,
you're out of the night.
Step into the sun,
step into the light,
then open your eyes
and love will open, ahhh,
open, ahhh,
open, open, open, open up.
Come on along and listen to
the lullaby of Broadway.
The hip-hooray and balley-hoo.
The lullaby of Broadway.
The rumble of the subway train.
The rattle of the taxi.
The Daffodils who entertain
at Angelo's and Maxi's.
When a Broadway baby says good night,
it's early in the morning.
Manhattan babys don't sleep tight
until the dawn.
Good night, baby.
Good night. Milkman's on his way.
Doon, doon, doon.
Sleep tight, baby.
Sleep tight. Let's call it a day. Hey!
Come on along and listen to
the lullaby of Broadway.
The hi-de-hi and boop-boop-buh-doo.
It's just the lullaby of Broadway.
The band begins to go to town
and everyone goes crazy.
You rock-a-bye your baby 'round
'til everything gets hazy.
Hush-a-bye, I'm gonna buy you this and that,
you hear your daddy sing.
Then baby goes home to her flat
to sleep all day.
Good night, baby.
Good night. The milkman's on his way.
Do, do, do, doodley-do.
Sleep tight,oh, my baby.
Sleep tight. Let's call it a day.
Listen to the lullaby of
ol-bo-ba-bo-ba-b'old doo doo doo Broadway!
The lulla-lullaby of Broadway!

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,

Live at Five and CNN
keep us all abreast
of breaking stories that can tend
to make us anxious and depressed.
Problems with no answers
hang on like some chronic cough.
And every day some brand new issue
rears it's head to piss you off.
Bad guys win.
Optimism's wearing thin.
Things are spinning out of control.
Cynicism's all the fad.
World events could make us mad
as hatters.
Almost every day
some underpinning slips away.
These aren't laughing matters.
Time bombs tick.
People keep on getting sick.
And a nickel's not worth a cent.
Wickedness and greed abound.
Just as peace is gaining ground
it shatters.
Hate is here to stay,
and justice goes to those who pay.
Friend, these aren't laughing matters.
The truth is scarier by far
than anything that Stephen King could write.
The stories in the paper are
the daily small decline and fall
spelled out in black and white.
Oh, what to do, what to do?
how to take a brighter view
when your noodle's totally fried.
Human spirits need to be
leavened by a little levity.
So take those blues
and bounce them off the wall.
Keep your humor please,
'cause don't you know it times like these that

The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Out with the fire off with the sweater
I got a heater coultn't be better will be
So confee all through the storm

"That's it, baby! When you got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!"
"This is the Divine Miss M and I'm here to share with you some
rare and stimulating insight into my cosmic fabulosity.
It's really very simple. I smiply believe with all my heart:"
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, so beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
"Go away, little girl," they used to say.
"Hey, you're too fat, baby, you can't play."
"Hold on, miss thing, what you trying to do?
You know you're too wack to be in our school."
Too wack, too smart, too fast, too fine,
too loud, too tough, too too divine.
I said you don't belong. You don't belong.
Too loud, too big, too much to bear,
too bold, too brash, too prone to swear.
I heard that song for much too long.
Ain't this my sun? Ain't this my moon?
Ain't this my world to be who I choose?
Ain't this my song? Ain't this my movie?
Ain't this my world? I know I can do it.
I'm not too short, I'm not too tall,
I'm not too big, I'm not too small.
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
I'm not too white, I'm not too black,
I'm not too this, I'm not too that.
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
It's time to call it what it is. Don't play the naming game.
Become what you were born to be and be it unashamed.
"Go away, little boy," I can hear them say,
"Everybody on the block says they think you're gay.
Hold on, my friend, do you think we're blind?
Take a look at yourself. You're not our kind."
Too black, too white, too short, too tall,
too big, too green, too red, too small.
I said you don't belong. You don't belong.
Too black, too white, too short, too tall,
too blue, too green, too red, too small.
I heard that song for much to long.
Ain't this my sun? Ain't this my moon?
Ain't this my world to be who I choose?
Ain't this my song? Ain't this my movie?
Ain't this my world? I know I can do it.
People always ask me,
"Miss M, how did you get so far
on so little?" Shut up!
Well, I woke up one morning,
flossed my teeth and decided,
"Damn, I'm fierce!" You look good!
You can be just like me! A goddess? Yeah!
Don't just pussy foot around and sit on your assets.
Unleash your ferocity upon an unsuspecting world.
Rise up and repeat after me: "I'm beautiful!"
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful!
Can you say that?
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful!
I don't hear you!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful!
Louder!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful!
Hey!
That's it, baby, when you got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!
Aaaaaah!
Ain't this my sun? My sun! Ain't this my moon? My moon!
Ain't this my world to be who I choose?
Ain't this our song? Ain't this our song?
Ain't this our movie? Ain't this our movie?
Ain't this our world to be who we choose?
I'm not too short, I'm not too tall,
I'm not too big, I'm not too small.
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
I'm not too white, I'm not too black,
I'm not too this, I'm not too that.
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
I'm beautiful, dammit!

And I don't want,
I, I don't want,
I don't want the night to end.
Oh, daddy, daddy.
Oh, daddy, daddy.
Wastin' half my life
on platforms underground,
the other half I'm spending
as a desperate clown.
My problem now is that
you're nowhere to be found.
In dark delicious dreams
of you I'll drown.
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-hi.
Oh, daddy. Oh, daddy.
Ooooooooh. Oh, daddy. Oh, daddy.
I don't want the night to end.
Oh, baby, baby.
Ohhhhh, my sweet baby.
Wrapped around your soul
is where I want to be.
But in the night, blue music.
All my eyes can see:
Junkies in the rain,
down on their knees.
Tell me, what's to become
of you and me?
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
Don't let it be, don't let it be over.
No, no, don't let it be, don't let it be.
I-i, I don't want the night to end.
I don't want the night to end.
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, I don't want the night to end.
Mmmm, say it again, now.
I-i-i-i-i, I don't want, don't want the night to end.
Don't let it be, don't let it be,
don't let it be o-o-o-o-over.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't want it to be over.
Baby, I'm a soul to lend.
I'm all, all alone. I don't want the night to end.

Oh, you got to have friends,
the feeling's oh so strong.
You got to have friends
to make that day last long.
Had some friends, but they're gone,
somethin' came and took them away,
and from the dusk 'til the dawn
here's where I will stay.
Standing at the end of the road, boys,
waitin' for my new friends to come.
I don't care if I'm hungry or cold, freezing.
I got to get me some.
'Cause you got to have friends.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Friends.
"Oh, that's the favorite part of my voice, you know.
I really like to get up. Hm."
Oh, friends.
"Thank you."
Oh, friends, friends, friends, friends.
I had some firends, oh, but they're all gone, gone.
Somethin' took 'em away,
and from the dusk 'til the dawn
here is where I'm gonna stay, you know, oh.
Standing at the end of a real long road, Jack,
and I'm waitin' for my new friends to come,
and I don't care if I'm jungry or freezing, freezing cold.
You gotta, you gotta get me some.
'Cause you gotta have,
"you gotta have friends. I'm telling you. I am speaking 'cause I know. It's going too fast. We're all going too fast! I'm trying to tell you to slow down! They're hard to come by! Those friends are hard to come by! I didn't have many friends, you know. But, things are getting better now. And I think it's gonna be okay, 'cause I have a couple now."
Friends,
you gotta, you gotta, you gotta have friends, friends.
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta have friends, friends.

And I am all alone.
There is no one here beside me.
And my problems have all gone.
There is no one to deride me.
But you got to have friends.
The feeling's oh so strong.
You got to have friends
to make that day last long.
I had some firends but they're gone,
somethin' came and took them away.
And from the dusk 'til the dawn
here is where I'll stay.
Standing at the end of the road, boys,
waiting for my new friends to come.
I don't care if I'm hungry or poor,
I'm gonna get me some of them.
'Cause you got to have friends.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, friends.
That's right you, oh you, yeah you,
I said you gotta have some friends,
I'm talkin' about friends, that's right, friends.
Friends, friends, friends.
I had some firends, oh, but they're all gone, gone,
someone came and snatched them away.
And from the dusk until the very dawn, you know,
here is where I gotta stay, here is where I gotta stay.
And I'm standing at the end of a real long road
and I'm waiting for my new friends to come.
I don't care if I'm hungry or freezin' cold,
I'm gonna get me some of them.
'Cause you gotta have friends,
that's right, friends, friends.
I gotta me my, I gotta me my, I gotta me my,
look around and see all of my friends.
Oh, friends, that's right, friends, friends,
friends, friends, friends, friends, oh,
friends, you gotta have friends . . .

We had an apartment in the city.
Me and my husband liked living there.
It's been years since the kids have grown,
a life of their own, left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha.
Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war.
I still don't know what for, don't matter any more.
You know that old trees just grow stronger,
and old rivers grow wilder every day,
but old people, they just grow lonesome
waiting for someone to say,
Hello in there. Hello
Me and my husband, we don't talk much anymore.
He sits and stares through the backdoor screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
like some forgotten dream
that we've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Judy.
We worked together at the factory.
Ah, but what would I say when she asks what's new?
Say, Nothing, what's with you?
Nothing much to do.
You know that old trees just grow stronger,
and old rivers grow wilder every day,
ah, but old people, they just grow lonesome
waiting for someone to say,
Hello in There. Hello.
So if you're walking down the street sometime
and you should spot some hollow ancient eyes,
don't you pass them by and stare
as if you didn't care.
Say, Hello in there. Hello.

Announcer: "The stars of our show, and America's "shiekest" couple, Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!"
James: I remember you.
Bette: I'd like to say that you're in my dreams.
James: You're the one who made my dreams come true
Bette: You're usually dead,
James: a few
Bette: without a head,
James: kisses ago.
Bette: and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.
James: I remember, too,
Bette: Oh, what a dream!
James: a distant bell,
Bette: It comes at night and taunts me,
James: and stars that fell
Bette: and, like your jokes, it haunts me until
James: like rain out of the blue.
Bette: I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.
James: When my life is through,
Bette: I'll jump for joy.
James: and the angels ask me to recall
Bette: and when Winchell asks me to recall
who's a chump and a heel.
James: the thrill of it all,
Bette: Who's the biggest schlemeil?
Both: Then I will tell them I remember . . .
James: "So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up."
Bette: "Yeah, I know, Eddie."
James: "But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?"
Bette: "Uh, penicillin?"
James: "Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?"
Bette: "Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!"
James: "Children?"
Bette: "No, silly! Grown men! Tell me, Eddie, what's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?"

Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.
Bette: You

Got all the nuggets
comin' out of my ears.
Nuggets of moonbeams
in my hand.
You got all the love,
honey baby, I can stand.
I been down, high like an oak.
I've seen pretty people

Friends will arrive,
friends will disappear.
You want me,

Bette: Oh-oh, I'll be here.
Ooooooh.
Sing to me baby, baby, baby.
Buckets of rain.
Bette & Bob: I like your smile
and your fingertips.
I like the way that you move your lips.
I like that heavenly way
you look at me.
Everything about you is bringing me ecstasy.
Little red wagon,
little red bike.
I ain't no monkey
but I know what I like.
I like the way you monkey around.
Stick with me baby
and we'll never be found.
Life is heavy
and life is sad.
Life is a bust
when you think you've been had.
You lose, you must do
and you do it bad.
I do it for you,
honey baby, ain't you glad?
Bette: Oh, Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ooooh.
Bobby, Bobby,
hey there Mister D,

I don't believe I really said that.
Bob: "Hum, meany."
Bette: "Oooh, you don't even know. you have no idea."
Bob: "I don't want to know . . . . .You and Paul Simon should have done this one."

We skipped the light fandango
And turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
At the moment my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

I put a spell on you
and now you're mine.
You can't stop the things I do.
I ain't lyyyyyin'.
It's been 300 years
right down to the day,
now the witch is back
and there's hell to pay.
I put a spell on you
and now you're miiiiiine!
Hello, Salem! My name's Winifred, what's yours?
I put a spell on you
and now you're gone. (gone gone gone so long!)
My whammy fell on you
and it was strong. (so strong so strong so strong)
Your wretched little lives
have all been cursed,
'cause of all the witches working
I'm the worst!
I put a spell on you
and now you're mine!
[Watch out! Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!]
If you don't believe,
you'd better get superstitious.
Ask my sisters!
"Ooh, she's vicious!"
I put a spell on you....
I put a spell on you.
Sisters!

He's a tramp, but I love him.
Breaks a new heart every day.
He's a tramp. They adore him.
And I only hope he'll stay that way.
He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel,
He's a rounder, he's a cad.
He's a tramp, but I love him.
Yes, and even I have got it pretty bad.
You can never tell when he'll show up.
He gives you plenty of trouble.
I guess he's just a no account pup,
But I wish that he were double.
He's a tramp, he's a rover,
And there's nothing more to say.
If he's a tramp, he's a good one,

He needs me.
He doesn't know it, but he needs me.
And so no matter where he goes,
Though he doesn't care,
He knows that I'm here.
He needs me.
I ought to leave him, but he needs me.
I know that I ain't very bright
Just to tag along,
Oh, but right or wrong
I'm his and I'm here,
And I'm gonna be his friend or his lover.
'Cause my one ambition is
To wake him and make him discover
That he needs me.
I've got to follow where he leads me
Or else he'll never know that I need him

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly.
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.
Then you and I came wandering by,
and lost in a sigh were we.
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly.
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.

Why can't I forget like I should?
Heaven knows I would if I could.
But I just can't keep you off my mind.
Though you're gone, I have to explain,
all around me you still remain.
Wonder why fate should be so unkind?
Waking skies at sunrise,
every sunset, too,
seems to be bringing me
memories of you.
Here and there, everywhere,
scenes that we once knew.
And they all just recall
memories of you.
How I wish I could forget
those happy yesteryears
that have left
a rosary of tears.
Your face beams in my dreams
spite of all I do.
Everything seems to bring
memories of you.

Lately when I_m in my room all by myself,
in this solitary gloom I call to myself:
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes,
love never made a fool of you. You used to be too wise.
Hey there, you on that high-flying cloud,
though he won_t throw a crumb to you, you think some day he_ll come to you.
Better forget him, him with his nose in the air.
He's got you dancing on a string. Break it and he won_t care.
Won_t you take this advice I hand you like a mother?
Or are you not seeing things too clear?
Are you too much in love to hear?
Is it all goin_ in one ear and out the other?
And out the other?
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes,
Are you talkin' to me?
love never made a fool of you.
Not until now.
You used to be so wise.
Oh, that was a long time ago.
Hey there,
What?
you on that high-flyin' cloud,
though he won_t throw a crumb to you,
you think some day he_s gonna come to you.
Woah, better forget him.
Forget him.
He's got his nose in the air.
He's got his nose in the air.
He'll have you dancing on a string.
A puppet on a string.
Break it and he won_t care.
He won't care for you.
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a mother?
Or are you not seein_ things too clear?
Are you just too far gone to hear?

I held you close to me
once in a distant dream,
far from the shores of my fear.
I sailed on the ocean where
all I imagined could happen,
and now you are here.
It's so hard to touch
what is out of our hands,
to know and to trust
what the heart understands.
Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.
Life gives us magic and
life brings us tragedy.
Everyone suffers some loss.
Still we have faith in it,
childlike hope.
There's a reason that outweighs the cost.
And gravity throws
all these rules in our way.
And sometimes the sprit
refuses to play.
Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.
And oh, love,
turn me around in your arms.
And in this dream we share
let us not miss one kiss.
And add my regrets
to the tears in the rain
for that's what the color
of roses contain.
Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream,

I know that I'm no saint.
My head is in the clouds.
They called you a mistake,
but I still, I still say your name out loud.
They called me a stupid girl,
just like my mom.
Too many men passed through my arms.
At seventeen I looked into your eyes,
knew I could never comfort your cries.
Every April still reminds me of you.
The child I never knew.
My lullaby in blue.
It all goes by so fast.
How lovely you must be.
Why you've reached the age at last
that I was when your daddy lived with me.
How I wish we could meet somewhere,
talk it through.
There is so much I would say to you.
There are others, I'm not alone.
A younger brother you've never known,
and a baby girl who so reminds me of you.
The child I never knew.
My lullaby in blue.
As the years go by,
try not to think of us sadly.
Believe it if you can,
I wanna see you so badly.
On your birthday, Mama's thinking of you.
The child I never knew.
My lullaby in blue.
My lullaby in blue.

I think I'll go to Heaven.
There I will lay me down,
leave all the pain behind me;
bury it in the ground.
Maybe they'll talk about me.
I pray it won't be lies.
Tell them I went to Heaven.
Heaven is in your eyes.
I think I'll go to Heaven.
I hear it's peaceful there.
They don't allow your troubles
'cause everyone's had their share.
When I can be someone who
never never needs a disguise,
then I will be in Heaven.
Heaven is in your eyes.
People in Heaven never look back.
Higher and higher the past fades to black,
fades to black.
I think I'll go to Heaven,
sail on into the night,
watch as I set my soul free,
watch as my heart takes flight.
Maybe I am too simple,
maybe I am too wise.
Maybe I'll go to Heaven.
Heaven is in your eyes.
Heaven is in your eyes.

Howard, the strangest things
have happened lately when I
take a good swing
and all my dreams
they pivot and slip.
I drop my fists
and they're back, laughing.
Howard, my intentions
become not to lose what I've won.
Ambition has given way
to desperation and I,
I've lost the fight from my eyes.
Boxing's been good to me, Howard.
Now I'm told,
"You're growing old."
The whole time we knew
a couple of years I'd be through.
Has boxing been good to you?
Howard, now I confess
I'm scared and lonely and tired.
Everyone says I'm made of clay,
that I've had my day,
that I'm not cut out for this.
I just know what to say.
And I say,
boxing's been good to me, Howard.
Now I'm told,
"You're growing old."
The whole time we knew
a couple of years I'd be through.
Has boxing been good to you?
Well, sometimes I punch myself
hard as I can.
Yelling, "nobody cares!"
hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am,
Howard.
Boxing's been good to me, Howard.
Now I'm told,
"You're growing old."
The whole time we knew
a couple of years I'd be through.
Has boxing been good,
has boxing been good,

Long, long ago, where the tall grass grows
and the still air is sweet with summer flowers;
in the shade by the stream I would lie awake and dream,
and in dreaming I would while away the hours.
Long, long gone yesterday,
and the castle and the prince and the God to whom I prayed.
Well, I made, and I'm gonna lie in this bed of roses.
I'm tired of trying to be free.
Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
Well, I wasted years,
all the useless, bitter tears.
If I'd known I'd have stopped it at the start.
I knew life was long,
and I knew life could go wrong,
but I never knew my life would break my heart.
Dreams die harder than pride.
I have learned my lesson well.
I will put them both aside.
'Cause I made and I'm gonna lie in this bed of roses.
I'm tired and I'm dying to be free.
Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
Roses die, and all the fairy tales are lies,
and I guess that's just too bad for poor old me.
'Cause I made, and I'm gonna lie in my bed of roses.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.

When the white bird flies
from your heart to mine,
I surrender every part of me
to the tenderness.
Could it be the wine?
In your eyes stars shine,
and I'm feeling like a child again.
Oh, it's taken me a little time
to find words to say
Stay.
Make this forever,
and lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
If the first glow fades
from the love we've made,
I will hold you closer in the night
under heart and key.
When there are hills to climb,
and your world won't rhyme,
I will fight until I get it right;
'Cause your part of me,
the heart of me,
if only you'll stay.
Stay.
Make this forever,
and lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
The trees and the towers are burning.
Fear walks on the sea.
My soul in the wasteland is yearning.
What does tomorrow hold for me?
Oh, no.
What can I say?
Just that I need you.
With you here by my side, we can turn even the desert evergreen
as dreams go by.
Oh, won't you stay?
Make this forever,
and lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
Stay.
Make this forever.
Lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love

I'm singing Broadway and I love it!
I'm singing Broadway and I'm proud!
You can keep your Springsteen.
Shove your Chaka.
I really don't care for that kind of kaka.
Ethel, Liza, Chita, that's my crowd, my crowd!
Yes-sah, I'm singing Broadway and it's heaven!
'Cause "Heaven" is a song from a Broadway show!
Ah, just give me a part that's got laughter and tears
and I'll beat it like Yul Brenner for the next thousand years!
Ah, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway! Brrrrrravo!
Ahhh, who needs a girl who's got flourescent hair,
or an ugly boy singing off key?
Give me a broad who's got tits out to there,
belching it out to the balcony!
AhhhAHHHHHHHH!!!!
Yes, sir! I'm singing Broadway and it's heaven!
I'll be singing Broadway, yes, 'til I die!
Just tell me what could be better
than shaking your buns
in front of a chorus
of thirty-five nuns?
I'll climb every mountain
and ford every river I see.
A Lady and her muszack,

I really can't stay
But baby, it's cold outside.
I got to go 'way.
But baby, it's cold outside.
This evening has been
Been hopin' that you'd drop in.
so very nice.
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice.
My mother will start to worry.
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor.
Listen to that fireplace roar.
So really I'd better scurry.
Beautiful, please don't hurry.
Well, maybe just a half a drink more.
Put some records on while I pour.
You know the neighbors might think.
But baby, it's bad out there.
Er, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there.
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now.
to break this spell.
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell.
I ought to say no, no, no sir.
Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried.
What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?
I really can't stay,
Baby, don't hold out.
ah, but it's cold outside.
Baby, it's cold outside.
Ah, but it's cold outside.

How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of moonlight dancin'
underneath the starry sky?
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of moonlight dancin'?
Just the moon and you and I.
Mmm, just the moon and you and I.
Moonlight dancin', mmm, moonlight dancin'.
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of late night romance
underneath the starry sky?
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of late night romance?
Just the moon and you and I.
Mmm, just the moon and you and I.
Moonlight dancin', mmm, moonlight dancin'.
Ohh, nobody's gonna be there.
Ohh, so don't you wanna go where
we could dance across the sky,
leave the world behind us?
Nothin' that we couldn't do.
Yeah, we could dance across the sky,
leave the world behind us.
Just the moon and me and you.
Mmm, just the moon and me and you.
We could hide inside the rhythm
'til the morning finds us.
Share a little ecstasy.
Yeah, we could hide inside the rhythm
'til the morning finds us.
If you come away with me
I'll show you how it feels to be
moonlight dancin'. Mmm, moonlight dancin'.
Oh, we gonna sail on the wind.
Oh, so don't you wanna begin?
Moonlight dancing, mmm, moonlight dancing.
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit?
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of moonlight dancin'?
Just the moon and you and I.
Moonlight dancin, mmm, moonlight dancing.

All of a sudden all the past was behind me.
All of a sudden nothing stood to remind me.
All of a piece I am awake and I can say.
All of a sudden I am finding religion.
All of a sudden all my sins are forgiven.
Now all at once it is down to you and me.
I see light over there at the end of the tunnel and
I don't mind if it takes a little more time.
Come over here, don't take your hand away.
Come over here, take my breath away.
Now is the time to say what you want to say.
(It's not a dream, this is really happening.)
All of a sudden, now baby, it's love.
All of a little just isn't enough.
All of a sudden, now baby, it's real.
All of the riddle comes perfectly clear.
All in a moment I was brought through the darkness.
All in one motion like the sun through the forest.
Oh, by the grace I am alive and I will live.
All of a sudden I am cleared of confusion.
All of my happiness is real, not illusion.
So many years I had to seek so I could find.
I see light over there at the end of the tunnel and
I don't mind if it takes a little more time.
Come over here, don't take your hand away.
Come over here, take my breath away.
Now is the time to say what you want to say.
(It's not a dream, this is really happening.)
All of a sudden, now baby, it's love.
All of a little just isn't enough.
All of a sudden, now baby, it's real.
All of the riddle comes perfectly clear.
Come over here, don't take your hand away.
Come over here, and take my breath away.
Now is the time to say what you want to say.
(It's not a dream, this is really happening.)
All of a sudden, now baby, it's love.
All of a little just isn't enough.
All of a sudden. now baby, it's real.
All of the riddle comes perfectly clear.
All of a sudden, now baby, it's true.
All of a sudden I believe in you.
All of a sudden I'm fooling around.
All of a sudden I know what I found.
I know what I found.
I know what I found.

"This is a song I've been singing for a long time.
It's like an old friend.
But, you know, I think it,
it's only recently that I discovered what it's really about."
You've got to give a little, take a little,
and let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to laugh a little, cry a little,
until the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
As long as there's the two of us,
we've got the world and all it's charms.
And when the world is through with us,
we've got each other's arms.
You've got to win a little, lose a little,
yes, and always have the blues a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

Fat as I am.
Who wants to see a diva fat as I am?
I get mistaken now for Lainie Kazan.
How is it that I'm fat as I am?
Fat as I am.
The camera's gonna add a ton to my can.
This is the way they say Godzilla began.
How did I get as fat as I am?
"Try it again."
All of my friends say I should diet again;
That all my fans are gonna riot again.
"Look what happened to Liz."
All of my sins
are not as numerous as . . . all of my chins!
I could audition for the doublemint twins.
No one in the biz is as fat as I is.
Ah, but what's a career
when you put it next to knockwurst and beer?
They could park a DC10 on my rear.
God knows I got the gas!
There goes the chair.
But to tell the truth, I'm too fat to care!
I ate a meatball off the floor right over there.
Ah, you don't give a damn

I'm always a flop at a top-notch affair
But I've still got my health, so what do I care?
My best ring, alas, is a glass solitaire
But I still got my health, so what do I care?
By fashion and foppery, I'm never discussed
Attending the opry, my box would be a bust
I never shall have that Park Avenue aire
But I'm in such health, why should I care?
The hip that I shake doesn't make people stare
But I got such health, what do I care?
The sight of my props never stops a thoroughfare
But I still got my health, so what do I care?
Your face is your fortune, so some wise men spoke
My face is my fortune, that's why I'm totally broke
My ship ain't come in, but I grin while I bear
'Cause I got my vitamins
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
I still have my
Got no diamonds, got no wealth

Broken windows and empty hallways,
a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
the frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, so lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,

Baby mine, don't you cry.
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head close to my heart,
never to part, baby of mine.
Little one, when you play,
pay no heed what they say.
Let your eyes sparkle and shine,
never a tear, baby of mine.
If they knew all about you,
they'd end up loving you, too.
All those same people who scold you,
what they'd give just for the right to hold you.
From your hair down to your toes,
you're not much, goodness knows.
But, you're so precious to me,

"This next story is a true story.
It concerns two of my favorite subjects:
industrial theft . . . and-a t-ts!
Mmm, what a combo! This is the story . . .
The inventor of the modern foundation garment
that we women wear today was a German scientist
and opera lover by the name of Otto Titsling!
This is a true story.
His name was Otto Titsling.
What happened to Otto Titsling shouldn't happen to a schnauzer.
It's a very sad story. I feel I have to share it with you."
Otto Titsling, inventor and kraut,
had nothing to get very worked up about.
His inventions were failures, his future seemed bleak.
He fled to the opera at least twice a week.
One night at the opera he saw an Aida
who's t-ts were so big they would often impede her.
Bug-eyed he watched her fall into the pit,
done in by the weight of those terrible t-ts.
Oh, my god! There she blows!
Aerodynamically this bitch was a mess.
Otto eyeballed the diva lying comatose amongst the reeds,
and he suddenly felt the fire of inspiration
flood his soul. He knew what he had to do!
He ran back to his workshop
where he futzed and futzed and futzed.
For Otto Titsling had found his quest:
to lift and mold the female breast;
to point the small ones to the sky;
to keep the big ones high and dry!
Every night he'd sweat and snort
searching for the right support.
He tried some string and paper clips.
Hey! He even tried his own two lips!
Well, he stitched and he slaved
and he slaved and he stitched
until finally one night, in the wee hours of morning,
Otto arose from his workbench triumphant.
Yes! He had invented the worlds first
over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. Hooray!
Exhausted but ecstatic he ran
down the street to the diva's house
bearing the prototype in his hot little hand.
Now, the diva did not want to try the darn thing on.
But, after many initial misgivings,
she finally did.
And the sigh of relief that issued forth
from the diva's mouth
was so loud that it was mistaken by some
to be the early onset of the Siroccan Winds
which would often roll through the Schwarzwald
with a vengeance!
Ahhhhh-i!
But little did Otto know,
at the moment of his greatest triumph,
lurking under the diva's bed
was none other than the very worst
of the French patent thieves,
Philippe DeBrassiere.
And Phil was watching the scene
with a great deal of interest!
Later that night, while our Brun Hilda slept,
into the wardrobe Philippe softly crept.
He fumbled through knickers and corsets galore,
'til he found Otto's titsling and he ran out the door.
Crying, "Oh, my god! What joy! What bliss!
I'm gonna make me a million from this!
Every woman in the world will wanna buy one.
I can have all the goods manufactured in Taiwan."
"Oh, thank you!"
The result of this swindle is pointedly clear:
Do you buy a titsling or do you buy a brassiere?

I had a will of iron.
I had a heart of steel.
I always call the shots.
But, honey, you shoot to kill.
I've spent a hundred other nights like this.
A little laughter and a stranger's kiss.
But the next thing that I knew,
I was heart over head
over heart over head over you.
It's too late to stop it now.
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
I never once imagined
a night like this before,
that love would last for hours,
and still I begged for more.
If I sound a little crazy,
well, forgive me, please.
My head is swimmin'
and I'm on my knees
cryin', "Love me, love me, do!"
Because I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Too late to stop it now.
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Can't seem to slow down.
Can't even touch the ground.
The harder I try,
the higher I fly.
I'm fallin' heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Where did you get your touch?
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
I like it much too much.
Heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Too late to stop it now.
I'm heart over head

Look at my face. I know the years are showin'.
Look at my life. Still don't know where it's goin'.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
and that may be all I need to know.
Look at these eyes. Oh, they never see what matters.
And look at these dreams, so beaten and so battered.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
and that may be all I need to know.
So many questions and still no answers.
I climb and climb but never get the view.
But when I hold you near me sometimes I feel so clearly
the only truth I'll ever know is me and you.
In my heart I long for inspiration.
And in my soul I know someday I'll find salvation.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
and that may be all I need to know.
In my heart you're my inspiration.
And in my soul I know love is our salvation.
I don't kow much, but if I know you love me,
that will be all I need to know.
I don't know much, but if you say you love me,

It's ninety-three degrees,
and the radio says a storm front's movin' in.
Sure is hot.
There's a double feature down at the Fox,
but everybody's seen it twice.
And, besides, the air conditioner's broke.
The old lady who runs the ice cream store
got robbed last week.
She put a lock on the door,
and a bell on the lock.
Now she don't answer the door,
'cause she takes that good long look at you,
and you look too tough.
The air is hot and heavy and wet,
and you just can't get high.
That's when sparks fly on E Street.
And the little girls walking lookin' so hot,
and the little boys' souls grow weak
when the girls give them a double shot.
School boy pops pull out the stops on a Friday night.
And those teenage tramps in skin-tight pants
do the E Street dance,
but in their heart and soul they know it's all right.
Just like those kids down there,
ooh, hooked up in a scuffle.
Dressed in snake skin suits;
Packed with Detroit muscle;
Doin' the E Street shuffle.
Ooh, the shuffle.
Doin' the E Street shuffle.

This is the story of a young girl
who was the hippest chick in town.
They call her Big Noise from Winettka.
Miss Birdie's sure to get around.
Big Noise flew in from Winnetka,
stole each fellow's heart and then
Big Noise flew in from Winnetka,
Big Noise flew right out again.
Stop! Look! Listen! Here comes the Big Noise!
Stop! Look! Listen! Here comes the Big Noise!
I am the one they call the Big Noise.
I'm looking fine and feeling sharp.
I just flew in from Winnetka, don't you know?
I'm gonna blow this joint apart!
I got my high heels! I don't need no wheels!
My footwork is an art!
You know the joint is jumpin',
my heart is pumpin',
and this is just the start!
Whoa! I was a big noise from Winnetka,
I'll be a big noise in your heart!
Whooooa!
Tempting when she's walkin',
tempting when she's talkin'!
Listen to her squakin'!
There she goes 'round again,
up and then down again,
in and then out, ooooh, bop!
"Hi! Welcome to another foul evening with the Divine Miss M!
"After many a summer dies the swan,"
but not when their stuck in a turkey as big as this one!
Watch us as we scratch and claw out hour
upon the stage in yet another feeble-minded attempt
to turn chicken shit in to chicken salad.
Make no mistake about it, eggs will be laid tonight!
Ain't that right girls? Oh, my girls.
My three favorite schochkies on the breakfront of life.
I'll never forget the first time I found these girls,
selling their papayas on 42nd Street. So flushed, so filthy.
The astonishing verbal abuse they heaped upon me made me certain
we were destined to share the stage someday.
Not only are my girls fine singers and dancers,
not only are they gorgeous and talented,
but they also think I'm god!
Ain't that right, girls?
They function as a greek chorus.
These girls don't know shit about Euripides,
but they know plenty about Trojans.
Ladies and gentlemen, a rousing hand for the semi-classical
Harlettes! Laides!
Alright girls, sing 'em your siren song, go ahead.
Turn them men into pigs. Not the band, you idiots.
Those, that bunch right over there in the front row.
Not much of a challenge, huh?
This group is already well on its way to oink oink land.
Oops, so sorry. Once again behaving in a manner I had sworn to aschew.
Thank you. Once again falling into the vat of vulgarity.
Oh tut tut. I did so want to leave my sordid past behind and emerge
form this project beathed in a new and ennobling light.
I wanted to come out and be the sweet, pure, honest,
unadorned person that I really really am.
I wanted to show you the good beneath the gaudy,
the saint beneath all this paint, the sweet, pure,
winsome little soul that lurks beneath this lurid exterior.
But fortunately, just as I was about to rush down the path
to repectability and righteousness,
a wee small voice called out to me in the night
and reminded me of the motto by which I've always tried to live my life:
F$CK 'EM IF THEY CAN'T TAKE A JOKE!"
"Hi! "After many a summer dies the swan,"
but not when she's stuck in a turkey the size of this one!
Make no mistake about it folks, eggs will be laid tonight!
Ain't that right girls? Oh, my girls.
My three favorite schochkies on the breakfront of life.
I'll never forget the first time I found these girls,
peddling their papayas on 42nd Street.
Not only are my girls fine singers and dancers,
not only are they gorgeous and talented,
but they also think I'm god!"
I am the one they call the bi-i-i-i-g noise!
I am a living work of art!
I just flew in from Winnetka, daddy-o!
I'm gonna blow this joint apart!
Everyone has a bit of big noise in his heart.
Everyone loves a little sin.
Well, I'm gonna be the first girl in the line
when the festivities begin!
I was a scandle, too hot to handle!
They said, "You'd best depart!"
Oh! Exit Big Noise from Winnetka.
Enter . . .
Enter! Enter!

Well hello. Gee, I can't believe you're here with me.
Oh, I've wanted to see you alone for so long.
Where did you learn to do all that?
Oh, c'mon over here,
sit down right next to me.
Oh, c'mon, don't be afraid.
I ain't gonna hurt you.
Just want to show you a few things
I picked up when you went away.
Like this. Ah, don't feel bad.
Oh, so good, so good, so good.
You and me have got in bed.
Now that we carress,
a kiss so warm and tender,
I can't wait 'til we reach
that sweet moment of surrender.
Oh, we'll hear the thunder roar,
feel lightning strike.
We don't have to hurry,
'cause you know we got all night.
Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
I'm gonna give you more
than you've ever dreamed possible.
Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
I'm gonna give you more
than you've ever dreamed possible.
Don't be afraid, baby. Oh, no.
You're the master of the world.
Whoa, we can't help but make it,
because there's real love between us, boy.
Whoa, c'mon, help me touch that fire
that every girl dreams of.
We're almost there little boy.
We're truly making love.
Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
I'm gonna give you more

Hang on in there, baby.
Please don't let me down.
Please don't destroy
this new joy we've found.
Uh, so heavy, uh.
Listen now, baby.
What is that you say?
Something eating at you?
It's gonna get away.
Don't you fight it, baby.
C'mon, open up the door.
That's the key to freedom
we've been working for.
Let it go, baby. Let it go, honey.
Oh, right there, right there.
Now don't you move it anywhere.
Let it go. Let it go!
Hang on in there, baby.
Oh, hang on in there, doll.

Hang on in there, baby.
Please don't let me down.

this new joy we found.
Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
I'm gonna give you more
than you ever dreamed possible.
Hang on in there, baby.
Please don't let me down.
Please don't destroy
this brand new joy we found.
Yeah, oh yeah. C'mon, baby.
Ah, do it to me one more time.
Dig that boy. Ooh-hoo. Mmmm.
One more time, yeah.
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.
Let it go.
Hang on, hang on, hang on,
'cause I love ya.
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
Let it go, let it go.
Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.
You got to, yeah, you got to
let it go.
Hang on in there, baby.
Hang on in there, doll.

This is the story of a young girl who was the Einstein of the dance.
They called her Big Noise from Winnetka, against her no one stood a chance.
Big Noise blew in from Winnetka, stole each fellow's heart and then,
Big Noise blew in from Winnetka, Big Noise blew right out again.
Boys were sighing, their girlfriends crying, hearts were pounding when;
The Big Noise dances, hence romances, it's just astounding when;
Big Noise blew in from Winnetka, Big Noise blew right out again.
Stop! Look! Listen! Listen to the Big Noise.
Stop! Look! Listen! Listen to the Big Noise.
I am the one they call the Big Noise. I got to dance my way to fame.
I just blew in from Winnetka, that town will never be the same.
Now I had my fun, and yet there's just one who's got me from the start.
I'd love to conga a little bit longer but it keeps us apart.
Exit Big Noise from Winnetka, enter Big Noise in his heart.
Big men move me out. Senors zonk me out.
Zim zom zup ma ma. Big men boo bop ba, bah ba doo wop.
Boodeeah baby boodeeah baby boodeeah baby.
Boodeeah baby boodeeah baby boodeeah baby baby baby over 'n' out.
She loves the bass. She loves the drum.
She loves to stay out late and dance the samba, samba, how she loves to samba,
rhumba, salsa, limbo and pachenga.
She's so restless she's on every guest list.
None can please her. She'd say no to Ceaser.
Teach me, why don't you teach me. Show me how to let go!
There she goes 'round again, up and then down again, in and then out. Hooo!
When Big Noise waltzes through the door the bouncer has to clear the floor,
'cause everybody wants to see the girl get down, the girl get down.
And if you try to hold me tight, I'll disappear into the night.
My lover's waiting home for me (she don't do that! She don't do that!)
Everyone's got a bit of Big Noise in his heart,
everyone likes to toot his horn.
I've been the Big Noise from Winnetka for so long,
time for a new noise to be born.
'Cause I had my fun and yet there's just one who's got me from the start.
Exit Big Noise for Winnetka, enter Big Noise in my heart.
Onc she was pickin' up the big boys . . .
Now I'm pickin' up my little kids' toys . . .

"All right! She's gonna sing!"
"All right, we all turn to page 438.
Now, you know we all gonna sing along.
Oh, I do love a revue."
Ohhhhhh!
You know, women don't like this woman,
'cause I always speak my mind.
But the men ain't crazy about me,
'cause I love to take my time.
If you're gonna love this woman,
gotta love me with a thrill,
'cause, baby, if you don't,
I gotta find a man who will.
Love me with a feeling.
You got to love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
or you don't love me at all.
You know, I'm the kind of woman,
I don't want no halfway stuff.
If you're gonna turn me loose, baby,
be sure I had enough.
You know, the cops once took me in,
but I did not need the bail.
I just shook it for the judge and he,
he put that cop in jail.
You got to love me with a feeling.
You got to love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
or you don't love me at all.
"All right, Milledge, this one's for you."
There was one cat who could not make it,
and Milledge was his name.
The only cat I ever knew
who left before he came.
There he's a-standing,
drinkin' pop from a paper cup.
But when it's time for gettin' down,
Milledge can not get it up!
You gotta love me with a feelin'.
Yeah, love, love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',

Mmm, why dontcha let me call you sweetheart?
I'm in love with you.
Mm, let me hear ya say
that you love me too.
Keep the love-light glowin'
in your eyes so true.

"Uh! Here is another lady;
She is not as amusing as Sophie, but she has a,
she has a little something. I think she's,
she has a certain quality of, uh . . .
dementia! I call her, I call her, Nanette."
Oh! Oh-o-o-oh, Nanette!
Whoa-o-oh, Nnnnanette!
Whoa-oo-o-oo-o-o-oh, Nnnnnnnnanette!
Not a sound, not a sigh.
The world rushes by.
No one thinks of Nanette.
No one sings for Nanette.
No one dreams of Nanette.
Through the night, through the day,
people rush on their way
with never a sigh or regret.
And they are laughing and drinking.
So, so heedless and unthinking of
Nanette, Nnnanette,

Oh, show me the way to the next whiskey bar.
Oh, don't ask why. Oh, don't ask why.
'Cause I must find the next whiskey bar.
If I don't find the next whiskey bar,
I tell you I will die, I tell you I will die.
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you I will die.
Oh, moon of Alabama, so high up in the sky.
I lost him, I lost my lover.
I need a drink. Can you guess why?
Oh, moon of Alabama, so high up in the sky.
I lost him, I lost my lover.
I need a drink, and you know why.

"When I was a little girl my father used to say,
"If trouble ever troubles you, just dream your cares away."
A dream is a wish your heart makes
when you're fast asleep.
In dreams you will lose your heartache,
whatever you wish for you keep.
Have faith in your dreams and someday, someday,
your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.
Oh, no matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing

I wait alone here in the Mexican sunlight,
but the Mexican sunlight seems so lifeless and cold.
Sad and forlorn, I try to find consolession
with a man desperession, I cannot withhold.
Soothe me with your caress
sweet marahuana. Oh, marahuana.
Help me in my distress
sweet marahuana, please do.
You alone can bring my lover back to me,
even though I know it's all a fantasy.
And then you must put me to sleep.
Sweet marahuana, please do.
You alone can bring my lover back to me,
even though I know it's all a fantasy.
And then you must put me to sleep.

You were told to wait there for love.
Love says it's waiting for you.
And all I want to say
is I know it's never easy
getting all dressed up with no place to go.
Help, for, that's what we're here for.
All one together.
Is no one alone?
Come see your sister.
Call her your own.
Will no one hold you?

He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
where everyone's his boss,
and he's lost in an angry land.
He's a little man.
But then he comes uptown
each evening to my tentament.
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent.
And when he's there with me
he can see that he's everything.
The man is tall, he don't crawl. He's a king.
Downtown he's just one of a million guys.
He don't get no breaks,
and he takes all they got to give
'cause he's got to live.
But then he comes uptown
where he can hold his head up high.
And uptown he knows I'm gonna be standing by.
And when I take his hand,
there's no man who can put him down, down, down.
Oh, the world's so sweet at his feet when he's uptown.
Whoa-oo-oh-whoa.
When he's uptown.
Whoa-oo-whoa-oo-whoa-oh-oh.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't!
Met him on a monday and my heart stood still.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Somebody told me that his name was Bill.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Whoa, my heart stood still.
Yeah, his name was Bill.
And when he walked me home,
da doo run run run da doo run run.
He knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
He looked kind of quiet, but my, oh my.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Oh, he caught my eye.
My, my, my, my, oh my.
And when he walked me home,
da doo run run run da doo run run.
Here we go!
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da do run run, hey!
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run . . .

Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Can you tell me where my love may be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
where he's just waiting to be kissed?
Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
where my heart can go a journeying
over the shadows and the rain
to a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight have you heard the music?
In the night, wonderful music.
Faint as a will-o'-the-wisp, crazy as a loon,
sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.
Oh, skylark, I don't know, I don't know
if you can find these things,
but my heart, my heart is riding on your wings.
So if you see them anywhere
won't you lead me there?
Oh, won't you lead me there?
Lead me there, lead me there.

Drinkin' again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
Having a few.
Wishing that you were here.
Making the rounds.
Buying a round for total strangers.
Just being a fool,
'cause I keep hoping, hoping, hoping you'll appear.
Sure I can borrow a smoke.
I can sit here all night and tell these jokers some jokes,
but who wants to laugh, who's gonna laugh
at a broken heart?
Oh, my heart is aching, I swear it's breaking.
And I'm drinking again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
And I'm tryin' to get home
with nothing, nothing but a memory.
Yes, I'm dying to get home,
dying to get home.
And I got nothin' but a bottle of beer,

I'm just a woman, a lonely woman,
waiting on the weary shore.
I'm just a woman who's only human,
one you should feel sorry for.
Well, I woke up this morning a long about dawn.
Without a warning I found that he was gone.
Why did he do it? How could he do it?
He'd never done it before.
Am I blue. Am I blue.
Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you?
Oh, am I blue? Well, I bet you would be, too,
if each plan with your man done fell through.
There was a time I was his only one.
but now I'm the sad and lonely one.
Was I gay 'til today?
But now that man is gone,
he's gone and we are through.
Am I blue.
There was a time I was his only one.
But now, a, now, now, now, I'm the sad and lonely one.
Oh god, I'm lonely.
But I remember, oh, I remember when I was gay.
That was up until today,
'cause now that man is gone, he's gone and we are through.

From Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the girls and boys
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snow's the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast

And fill the stocking by the fireplace
So you'll have a yule that's cool

"Hey, Sarge . . .
Sing him a song, honey. He's earned it! Ha ha!"
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain, deep as a river,
come rain or come shine.
And I guess when you met me
it was just one of those things.
but don't ever bet me,
'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me, let me.
You're always gonna love me like nobody's loved me,

I read the paper and I hear the news.
I search the heavens vainly for clues.
Where has he gone to, and where can he be?
I need someone, we need someone.
Come back, Jimmy Dean.
Yesterday morning I read in the Times,
things cost a dollar that once cost a dime.
And everyone's lonely 'cause everyone's free.
I need someone. We need someone.
Come back, Jimmy Dean.
All our loves are loved and lost.
Our hearts all hung with rust.
All the golden birds and lads all must,
like chimney sweeps, come to dust.
I'll pour a drink; adjust my TV,
and stare at the shadows that stare out at me.
I have no expectations, oh, but occasionally
I need someone. You were someone.
Come back, Jimmy Dean.
I need someone. You were someone.

They say everything can be replaced.
That every distance is not near.
So I remember every face
of every man who put me here.
They say every woman needs protection,
then they turn around and tell you
every woman's got to fall.
I swear I see my own reflection
somewhere far beyond this wall.
I see my light come shining
from the west down to the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
Now yonder stands
there in that lonely crowd,
a man who swears he is not to blame, no, no.
And if you ask him has he ever seen this lonely woman,
he'll tell you, "No, no, no."
What's more, he does not know my name!
But I see my light come shining,
shining, shining, shining from the west
straight on down to the east.
Ah-anyday now, any, any old day now,
I am going to, I am going to be released, yeah!
They tell ya, tell ya every woman,
they tell ya every woman
got to have protection,
then they turn around and tell ya,
"No! We gotta make that-a woman fall!"
Oh, god, I swear! I swear I see,
I see my, my very own reflection
far and away beyond, way, way beyond
these old walls!
That's right! I see, I see my light, my light,
my light is shining, shining, shining,
shining, shining, shining, shining
from the west straight on down to the east.
And any day now, do you hear me?
Any day now, I shall be,
I am going to be released!
Any day now, any day now, any day now,
any, any day now, oh, any day now,
any day, any day, any day,
any day, any day, any day,
woah, any day, any day, any old day now,
yeah, any day now
I am going to, I shall be released!
Woah, any day now, I shall see again!
Any day now, I shall be free again!
Any day now, they'll let me be again!
Oh, any day now, any day now, any day now,
whoa, help me, any day, any day,

"The stars of our show, and America's "shiekest" couple,
Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!"
I remember you.
I'd like to say that you're in my dreams.
You're the one who made my dreams come true
You're usually dead,
a few
without a head,
kisses ago.
and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.
I remember, too,
Oh, what a dream!
a distant bell,
It comes at night and taunts me,
and stars that fell
and, like your jokes, it haunts me until
like rain out of the blue.
I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.
When my life is through,
I'll jump for joy.
and the angels ask me to recall
and when Winchell asks me to recall
who's a chump and a heel.
the thrill of it all,
Who's the biggest schlemeil?
Then I will tell them I remember . . .
"So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up."
"Yeah, I know, Eddie."
"But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?"
"Uh, penicillin?"
"Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?"
"Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!"
"Children?"
"No, silly! Grown men!
Tell me, Eddie, what's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?"
"Are you sure you're not a cop?"
Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.

I stayed out late one night and you moved in.
I didn't mind 'cause of the state you were in.
May I remind you that it's been a year since then?
Today the landlady, she said to me,
"Your loony friend just made a pass at me."
Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage by the sea.
So pack your toys away,
your pretty boys away,
your forty-fives away,
your alibis away,
your silly lies away,
your old tie-dyes away,
your one more tries away.
You're moving out today.
You nasty habits ain't confined to bed.
The grocer told me what you do with bread.
Why don't you take up with the
baker's wife instead of me?
Pack up your rubber duck.
I'd like to wish you luck.
Your funny cigarettes, your sixty-one cassettes,
pack all your clothes away,
your rubber hose away,
your old day glows away.
You're movin' out today.
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
Pack up you dirty looks,
your songs that have no hooks,
your stacks of Modern Screen,
your portrait of the queen,
your mangy cat away,
your baby fat away.
You're headed that a-way.
You're moving out today.
Pack up your forck and spoon,
but leave my Lorna Doones;
Your map of Mozambique;
Your waterbed that leaks.
la la la la la la la la la.
la la la la la la la la . . .
"The reason I'm singing la la is because I'm so happy you're going.
Gosh, you've made me miserable.
I don't think I've ever been so unhappy as I've been this last year with you.
You are really a dirty, dirty guy. Did anybody ever tell you that?
Oh, uh, by the way, would you, uh, take off that coat you're wearing?
That's my coat you're wearing. Ah, yes. Thank you, oh. Goodbye!

"Bartender, I'd like a Manhattan, please."
Um, stop me if you've heard this one,
but I feel as though we've met before.
Perhaps I am mistaken.
But it's just that I remind you of
someone you used to care about.
Oh, but that was long ago.
Now tell me, do you really think
I'd fall for that old line?
I was not born just yesterday.
Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway.
Hell, I ain't such a bad guy
once you get to know me.
Just thought there ain't no harm.
Hey-e-yeh, just try minding your own business, bud.
Who asked you to annoy me
with your sad, sad repartee?
Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway.
Your life's a dime store novel.
This town is full of guys like you.
And you're looking for someone
to take the place of her.
You must be reading my mail.
'N' you're bitter 'cause he left you.
That's why you're drinkin' in this bar.
Well, only suckers fall in love
with perfect strangers.
It always takes one to know one, stranger.
Maybe we're just wiser now.
Yeah, 'n' been around the block
so many times
that we don't notice
that we're all just perfect strangers
as long as we ignore
that we all begin as strangers
just before we find
we really aren't strangers
anymore.
"Aw, you don't look like such a chump."

I love the East. I love the West.
North and South, their both the best.
But I only want go there as a guest,
'cause I love being here with you.
I love the sea. I love the shore.
I love the rocks, and what is more,
You and they never be a bore,
'cause I love being here with you.
Singing in the shower,
Laughing by the hour.
Life is such a breezy game.
I love all kinds of weather
As log as we're together.
Oh, I love to hear you say my name.
I love good wine, fine cuisine,
Candle light. I love the scene.
'Cause, baby, if you know just what I mean,
I love being here with you.
I like a Dance by Fred Astaire,
And Brando's eyes, Yul Brynner's hair.
But I think to tell you's only fair,
That I love being here with you.
And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day,
His utter charm takes me away.
But don't get me wrong, how do you say,
I love being here with you.
Basie's band a-swingin',
I like Ella's singing.
'Cause there's something else, you know,
They know how to say it,
They know how to play it,
They wind it up and let it go.
I love the thrill of New York shows.
I'd love to kiss Durante's nose.
But I'll like to say before I close,

You can pull all the stops out
Till they call the cops out
Grind your behind till you're bend
But you gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get a hand
You can sacrifice your sacharo
Working in the back row
Bump in a dump till you're dead
Kid, you gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get ahead
You can uh, you can uh
You can uh, uh, uh
That's how burlesque was born
So I uh, and I uh
And I uh, uh, uh
But I do it with a horn
Once I was a schleppa
Now I'm Miss Mazeppa
With my revolution in dance
You gotta have a gimmick
If you wanna have a chance
She can uh, she can uh
She can uh, uh, uh
They'll never make her rich
Me, I uh, and I uh
And I uh, uh, uh
But I do it with a switch
I'm electrifying
And I ain't even trying
I never had to sweat to get paid
'Cause if you got a gimmick
Gypsy girl, you've got it made
All them uh and them uh
And them uh, uh, uh
Ain't gonna spell success
Me, I uh, and I uh
And I uh, uh, uh
But I do it with finesse
Dressy Tessie Tura
Is so much more then demurer
Than all them other ladies because
You gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get applause
Do something special
Anything special
Do something special
Anything special
You're more than just a mimic
When you got a gimmick
Take a look how different we are
If you wanna make it
Twinkle while you shake it
If you wanna grind it
Wait till you refined it
If you wanna pump it
Pump it with a trumpet
Get yourself a gimmick

You give your hand to me
and then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
my heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
you think you know me well.
Hell, you don't know me.
You don't know me.
You don't know the one
who dreams of you at night;
longs to kiss your lips
and longs to hold you tight.
To you I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
You don't know me.
You, you just don't know me,
'cause I never knew the art of making love,
though my heart, oh my heart, oh my heart
is aching just for you.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
The chance that you might learn to love me too.
You give your hand to me,
and then you say, you say, "Goodbye."
I watch you walk away,
wishing you were mine.
You'll never ever know the girl who loves you so.
You don't know me. No, no, baby.
You don't know me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, baby, baby.
You don't know me, know me, know me.
Please know me.
Late in the midnight hour
I dream of you only.
But I am lonely.
Please know me.
Be my baby. C'mon, be my baby.
Late in the midnight hour
I live for you, baby.
Why don't you know me?
Be my baby.
Why you mean to me?

Everybody wants to find a love,
somebody, somebody who will always care.
But we get locked up in our own worlds,
with feelings and secrets we're afraid to share.
But all I have to do is see you smile,
or maybe, just maybe if I brush your hand;
something happens I cannot explain,
and somehow, oh somehow I can understand.
I, I think you're gonna find . . .
I'm gonna find you.
I'm gonna find you . . .
I know you by heart.
You're so much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
Can't you see?
It's no wonder I can love you
the way that I do.
I can finish any sentence you start.
Woah, I know you, I know you by heart.
I know every time you wanna call,
I pick up the phone before it can ring.
And when you need some lovin', I'll be there
beside you, anticipating everything.
Oh, it's like I always said . . .
You're the one I want.
And all I want is you.
. . . I'm inside your head.
I know you by heart.
You're so much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
Can't you see?
It's no wonder I can love you
the way that I do.
I can finish any sentence you start.
Hey, woah, I know you by heart.
I know you by heart.
So much a part of me.
It's no wonder I love you
the way that I do.
I can finish any sentence you start.
I know you, I know you by heart.
I know you by heart.
So much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
So much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
So much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
Yeah, I know you by heart.
You're so much a part of me.
So much a part of me.
I know you by heart.

I don't believe in superstars,
in fancy food or foreign cars;
that Hagen Dazs and motherhood
have done my body any good;
that Elvis is alive and well;
that courtesy has gone to hell;
that kindness is in short supply;
that little kids should have to die.
But I believe in love.
I believe in dreamers.
I believe in miracles
and I believe in you.
Well, I don't believe virginity
is as common as it used to be;
that left is wrong and right is right;
that black is black and white is white;
that the Beatles could be history,
the sixties just a memory;
that war will never go away;
that Johnny Carson's had his day.
But I believe in love.
I believe in angels.
I believe in Mom and Dad
and I believe in you.
I know with almost certainty
what's going on with you and me
is a good thing.
I know it's true.
I believe in you.
Now, I don't believe that heaven waits
for only those who congregate.
I like to think that God is love.
He's down below, He's up above,
and He's watching people everywhere.
He knows who does and doesn't care.
And I'm an ordinary girl
trying to make my way in this old world.
And I believe in love.
Yes, I believe in music.
I believe in promises
and I believe in you.
Well, I know with almost certainty
what's going on with you and me
is a good thing, a good thing.
And I know it's true.
I believe in you.
You know, darlin', that I believe in love.
Yes, I believe in dreamers.
I believe in miracles
and I believe in you.
Woah-ho-ho-oh, baby, I believe.
Yes, I believe.
I believe in promises
and I believe in you.
Woah, come on, baby, say you believe in love.
Say you believe in dreamin'.
Believe in blue, blue skies,

When I am a flyer, I'll fly down to Miami,
get a room in one of those big resort hotels.
And nobody there will ever get to know me well.
And nobody there will ever get to know me well.
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
on the shore of the southern sea.
I'll be a mystery to everyone.
I won't take you along with me.
When I am a driver, I'll drive to Pensacola,
sleep in the sand whether the weather
brings sunshine or rain.
And nobody there will ever get to know my name, oh no.
And nobody there will ever get to know my name.
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
on the shore of the southern sea.
Mmm, I'll be a mystery to everyone.
I won't take you along with me.
When I am a rider, I'll ride up to Tempico.
Ohh, don't telephone honey,
your money'd be wasted on a telegram
'cause nobody there will ever find out who I am.
Nobody there will ever find me!
I'll be just another big bright umbrella
on the shore of the southern sea.
Gonna be a mystery to everyone.
I won't take you along with me.
Alone. All alone. On my own.
So happy to be gone, gone, gone, gone
to new news and new faces,
new feuds and new places.
Underneath my yellow umbrella.
Won't be holdin' hands
with a mobster fella.
Mmm, I'm in the mood to be
swimmin' in the nude,
sinnin' too. Too bad you
won't be there to see.
Grand. Feels so grand
lying in the sand.
Just working on this tan of mine.
Ohh, you know I think that life
is just the greatest thing.
Goodbye!!
It's goodbye, darling.
Your turn to cry.
And you know good and well why, darling.
Why you got the gong.
I was into you to long.
Underneath my big bright umbrella
I'll be breaking hearts with a
buff young fella.
Woo-oo-oo, whoo-oo-oo.
How was I to know?

Oh, oh, oh, oh
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, so high against the sky
So high I almost touch the sky
Thank you, thank you

Always remember my friend,
the world will change again.
And you may have to come back
through everywhere you've been.
When your life was low,
you had nowhere to go.
People turned their backs on you,
and everybody said that you were through.
I took you in, made you strong again
put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
you left me shining.
Now you're doing well
from stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.
Although I never hear from you,
still it's nice to know
you used to love me so,
when your life was low.
I took you in. I made you strong again.
I put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
you left me shining
Now you're doing well
from stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.
Although I never hear from you,
still it's nice to know
you used to love me so,
you used to love me so,
when your life was low.
But always remember my friend,
the world will change again.
And you may have to come back
through everywhere you've been.

When he held me in his arms,
when he held me in his arms and said,
"Baby, baby, baby, you are the only one for me."
When a man loves a woman,
can't keep his mind on nothing else.
He'll trade the world
for the good thing he found.
Yeah, if she's bad, he can't see it.
She can do no wrong.
Turn his back on his best friend
if he put her down.
When a man loves a woman,
spend his very last dime
tryin' to hold on to what he needs.
Give up all his comforts,
go out and sleep out in the rain,
if she says, "Baby, that is how it's gonna be."
When a man loves a woman,
give up everything that he has,
tryin' to hold on to her precious love,
cryin, "Baby, baby please don't treat me bad."
When a man loves a woman
down deep in his soul,
she can bring him such misery.
If she's playin' him for a fool
he's the last one to know.
Lovin' eyes don't ever see.
So, this man says he loves me, he loves me.
He gives me everything, everything,
everything that he has,
tryin' to hold on to my precious love,
cryin', "Baby, baby, baby, don't you, don't you
treat me, treat me bad."
Ohhhh, oh I need him.
Yeah, when a man loves a woman
he can do her no wrong.
He could never hold another girl.
Why you tell me you love me, baby,
and run out ah-ah-ah-on the sly?
Baby, baby, this is a man's world.
No, no.
Oh, baby, change has got to come

My grandpa died from asbestos.
My daddy's name was Estes.
And I don't know if that messed us up,
or what it did.
My brother was-a workin' as an boiler.
He was glad he wasn't workin' as an oiler.
One day my sister went and lit up a match
and up is where they went.
They went up! up! up!
like a guy on a rocket.
Up! up! up!
Keep your luck, don't hock it.
Up! up! up!
Put your finger in a socket.
Don't you know that's up, Jack?
Aaah, now that leaves me with my cousins.
You know I got 'em by the dozens.
Well, they brought home a bomb and they didn't act calm,
'cause up is where they went.
Ah, but now everything is satisfactory.
I'm on the swing shift at the big factory.
Oooh, I keep cuttin', I just keep struttin'
'cause up is where I'm goin'.
I'm goin' up! up! up!
Push the elevator button.
Up! up! up!
Like superman's cousin.
Up! up! up!
Ooh, fella, now I'm buzzin'.
Don't you know that's up, Chuck?
All right, Chuck.
While gossiping over the back fence,
my aunt was talking in her accents.
The fickle finger of fate paced a well placed goose,
and up is where she went.
While visiting a funeral parlor,
Uncle Louie, he let out a holler.
A stiff went and winked at him
and guess where he went?
He went up! up!
Make the north pole my landin'.
Up! up!
Talk frivolous abandon.
Up! up!
Boom! From sitting to standing.
Don't you know that's up?
Goin' up and up and up
and up and up and up and up!

Come with me, come with me
and we shall run across the sky.
We illuminate the night.
Ohhhh, I, I will try and guide you
to better times and brighter days.
Just don't be afraid.
Come on up the ladder to the roof
where we can see heaven much better.
Let's go up the ladder to the roof
where we can be closer to heaven.
Stay with me, stay with me
and we shall let expression sing.
Hear freedom ringin'.
Ohhh, memories of yesterday's broken dreams.
Hey, don't you know, don't you know
that they are gonna fade away?
Don't be afraid.
Come on up the ladder to the roof
where we can see heaven much better.
Let's go up the ladder to the roof
where we can be closer to heaven.
We'll laugh, I'll tell you the story of love.
How it is, the happiness in it, baby.
We combine these thoughts and together we will travel
to the fountain of lovingness.
I will never, never, never, never,
never leave you, baby.
As we grow older and older and older, babe.
Standing strong we'll say:
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go
up the ladder to the roof
where we can see heaven much better.
Let's go up the ladder to the roof
where we can be closer to heaven.
Let's go up the, up the, up the ladder to heaven.

A do-dooooo. A do-dooooo.
I saw the splendor of the moonlight on Honolulu Bay.
There's something tender in the moonlight on Honolulu Bay.
And all the beaches are full of peaches
who bring their ukes along.
And in the glimmer of the moonlight
they love to sing this song.
If you like a ukulele lady,
ukulele lady like a you.
If you want to linger where it's shady,
ukulele lady linger too.
If you kiss a ukulele lady
while you promise ever to be true,
and she see another ukulele lady fool around with you.
Maybe she'll sigh, maybe she'll cry,
Maybe she'll find somebody else
by and by-y-y
to sing to when it's cool and shady,
where the tricky wicky wackies woo woo woo.
If you like a ukulele lady,
ukulele lady like a you.
Someday I'm goin'
where eyes are glowin'
and lips were made to kiss,
to see somebody in the moonlight
and hear the songs I missed.
If you like a ukulele lady,
ukulele lady like a you, you, you.
If you want to linger where it's shady,
ukulele lady linger too.
If you kiss a ukulele lady
while you promise ever to be true true, true,
and she see another ukulele lady fool around with you.
Well, maybe she will sigh, maybe she will cry,
aah, but maybe she will find somebody else
by and by-y-y
to sing to when it's cool and shady,
where the tricky wicky wackies woo woo woo.
If you like a ukulele lady,
ukulele lady like a you like a me like I like a you
we like a both the same.
I'd like to say this very day
ukulele lady like a you-ooo-oooo.

You've been down in the dumps
it seems like forever.
Now, what have they done to you?
Not a single thing's turned out
the way you imagined.
It all looks unreachable to you.
You don't know for the life of you
what is missing,
or why it always happens to you.
And you don't like yourself,
you feel nobody's listening.
You don't need another platitude.
For a moment you forget
and a smile comes to your face.
Aah, but it doesn't last too long.
It's like a string you got tied
around your finger
reminding you of
everything that's wrong.
I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
I won't try to second guess you.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
And I'd love to be the reason
a smile comes to your face,
even if it doesn't last too long.
And I'd love to take that string
you've got tied around your finger
reminding you of everything that's wrong.
I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
I won't try to second guess you.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.

Hurry on down to my house, honey,
ain't nobody home but me.
Hurry on down to my house, baby.
Oh, I'm blue as I can be.
I love you. You love me.
A-hurry through the alley
so the neighbors don't see.
Hurry on down to my house, honey,
ain't nobody home but me. Oooh.
Hurry on down to my house, baby,
ain't nobody home but me.
Hurry on down to my house, baby.
I'm blue as I can be.
Oh, blue when the clock a-went
tick-tock-tick.
Ooh, c'mon, honey, ah-quick, quick, quick.
Awww, hurry on down to my house, baby,
ain't nobody home but me.
Say, hurry, hurry, a-nobody's home.
Hurry on down, baby,
I'm blue as I can be.
Oh, please come down
just as soon as you can.
If you don't come down,
I got to call Sam!
You know the man is crazy about me.
Ain't nobody home but me . . . ow!
"Well, what's goin' on with the three of yous?
C'mon, c'mon, make it snappy.
C'mon, c'mon, work out, work out!
Go, babe, get down, get down!
Oh, lord! Nobody's home!"
Say, hurry on down to my house, baby,
ain't nobody home.
A-haul it down, drag it down,
any way to get it down.
I'm blue as I can be.
Ashes-to-ashes. Dust-to-dust.
C'mon, honey, you must, you must!
Hurry on down to my house, baby,
ain't nobody home but me.
Hurry, hurry. A-nobody's home.
Haul it down and drag it down.
You know I can't stand to be alone.
Operator, get me hillside, 409.
A-don't stop ringin'
'til you get that baby's line!
He's gonna haul it down!
Ain't nobody home but, you believe it,

Mm, your love is lifting me higher
than I ever been lifted before.
Ooh, baby, keep it up, sweet baby.
Quench my desire,
and I'll be at your side forever more.
'Cause your love is liftin' me higher and higher.
Your love keeps on liftin' me, oh, higher, higher.
Now once I was down-hearted,
and disappointment was my closest friend.
But then you came,
and he soon departed.
And you know I never seen,
I haven't seen his face again!
Your love is liftin' me
higher, higher, higher, higher.
Your love is liftin' me
higher, higher, higher and higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me,
keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
higher, higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me,
keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
higher, higher.
So glad I finally found you, babe.
You're the best for these old arms.
With those sweet, sweet lovin' arms around me,
I tell you I don't need,
I don't need,
I-oh-I don't need no disguise, no!
Your love is liftin' me,
keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
higher, higher.
Your love keeps liftin' me,
keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
higher, higher.
Your love is liftin' me,
whoa, higher, higher, higher, higher,
higher, higher, higher, higher.
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher,
gettin' higher, gettin' higher.
You lift me, you take me
higher and higher.
Higher, higher, yeah, higher, higher!
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Higher, higher, oh, higher, higher,
higher, higher, higher, higher,
higher, higher, higher,

We had an apartment in the city.
Me and my husband liked living there.
It's been years since the kids have grown,
a life of their own, left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha.
Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war.
I still don't know what for, don't matter any more.
You know that old trees just grow stronger,
and old rivers grow wilder every day,
but old people, they just grow lonesome
waiting for someone to say,
"Hello in there. Hello"
Me and my husband, we don't talk much anymore.
He sits and stares through the backdoor screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
like some forgotten dream
that we've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Judy.
We worked together at the factory.
Ah, but what would I say when she asks what's new?
Say, "Nothing, what's with you?
Nothing much to do."
You know that old trees just grow stronger,
and old rivers grow wilder every day,
ah, but, but old people, they just grow lonesome
waiting for someone to say,
"Hello in There. Hello."
So if you're walking down the street sometime
and you should spot some hollow ancient eyes,
don't you pass them by and stare
as if you didn't care.

He was too good to me.
How will I get along now?
So close he stood to me.
Everything seems all wrong now.
He would have brought me the sun.
Making me smile, that was his fun.
When I was mean to him
he'd never say, "Go away, now."
I was a queen to him.
Who's gonna light my way now?
It's only natural that I'm blue.
He was too good to be true.
You'd never recognize the room.
The pictures all have different frames now.
And all the chairs are rearranged now.
Somehow, I've thrown out every souvenir.
Yes, there've been changes made
since you stayed here.
You'd never recognize the street.
The neighbor's kids play different games now.
The colors in the trees have changed now.
Strange how I've hardly thought of you this year.
Yes, there've been changes made since you stayed here.
The same address, the more or less.
More happens, less matters, I guess.
You'd never recognize my life.
The party-givers know my name now.
And when I cry it's not the same now.
Somehow, I never waste a single tear.
Yes, there've been changes made
since you stayed here.
You'd never recognize the room.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You will listen
To a humble prayer
They tell me I'm just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to You
Still I see Your face and wonder
Were You once an outcast too?
God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth
The lost and forgotten
They look to You still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will
Well, I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
God help the outcasts
The poor and down trod
I thought we all were
The children of God
I don't know if there's a reason
Why some are blessed, some not
Why the few You seem to favor
They fear us, flee us, try not to see us
God help the outcasts
The tattered, the torn
Seeking an answer
To why they were born
Winds of misfortune
Have blown them about
You made the outcasts
Don't cast them out
The poor and unlucky
The weak and the odd
I thought we all were

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength,
'cause I'm weak anyway,
and if I'm strong, I might still break.
And I don't have anything to share
that I won't throw away into the air.
That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.
He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.
God give me strength.
I can't hold on to him.
God give me strength.
When the phone doesn't ring
and I'm lost in imagining
everything that kind of love is worth
as I tumble back down to the earth.
That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.
He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.
God, if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline,
I might as well wipe him from my memory.
Fracture the spell as he becomes my enemy.
And maybe I was washed out
like a lip print on a shirt.
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt.
I want him, I want him to hurt.
Since I lost the power to pretend
that there could ever be a happy ending.
That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.
He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.
God give me strength.
Oooooooh. Oooooh.
Wipe him from my memory.
Oooh. I got to him wipe him from my memory.

From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snow capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
From a distance you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
(Every man)
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
This is the song of every man
And God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching

From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snow capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
From a distance you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
(Every man)
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
This is the song of every man
And God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching

Oh, you got to have friends,
the feeling's oh so strong.
You got to have friends
to make that day last long.
Had some friends, but they're gone,
somethin' came and took them away,
and from the dusk 'til the dawn
here's where I will stay.
Standing at the end of the road, boys,
waitin' for my new friends to come.
I don't care if I'm hungry or cold, freezing.
I got to get me some.
'Cause you got to have friends.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Friends.
"Oh, that's the favorite part of my voice, you know.
I really like to get up. Hm."
Oh, friends.
"Thank you."
Oh, friends, friends, friends, friends.
I had some firends, oh, but they're all gone, gone.
Somethin' took 'em away,
and from the dusk 'til the dawn
here is where I'm gonna stay, you know, oh.
Standing at the end of a real long road, Jack,
and I'm waitin' for those new friends to come,
and I don't care if I'm jungry or freezing, freezing cold.
You gotta, you gotta get me some.
'Cause you gotta have,
"you gotta have friends. I'm telling you. I am speaking 'cause I know.
It's going too fast. We're all going too fast!
I'm trying to tell you to slow down!
They're hard to come by! Those friends are hard to come by!
I didn't have many friends, you know.
But, things are getting better now.
And I think it's gonna be okay, 'cause I have a couple now."
Friends,
you gotta, you gotta, you gotta have friends, friends.
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta have friends, friends.

Here comes The Rose, looking mighty fine.
Here comes ol' Nancy, walking right in time.
Here comes the stripper, bringing on the night.
Here come the boys, faces hidden from the light.
Walk through the shadows.
Well, they come and they go.
Only one thing on their mind:
fire down below.
Whoa, here come the rich man in his big, long limousine.
Here come the poor man, all you got to have is green.
Here come the banker, lawyer and the cop.
One thing's for certain, it's never gonna stop.
When it all gets too heavy
they come and they go. There they go.
One thing on their mi-mi-mi-mind:
fire down below.
Whoa, there they go.
One thing on their mi-mi-mi-mi-mind:
fire down below.
It happens out in Vegas, Moline,
on the blue-blood streets of Boston,
in Berkley, out in Queens.
Went on yesterday, it's going on tonight.
Somewhere there's somebody
treatin' somebody right.
I'm lookin' at The Rose.
I'm lookin' mighty fine.
I walk the streets,
I'll find you any time.
Where the street lights flicker,
bringing on the night,
I'll be slipping into darkness;
Slippin' out of sight.
Oh, through the midnight
I come! I go!
Only one thing on my my mind:
fire down below.
One thing on my my my mind:
fire down below.
Fire, fire, fire, hoo, hoo, hoo.
One thing on my my mind:

Never know how much I love you.
Never know how much I care.
When you put your arms around me,
I get a fever that's so hard to bear.
You give me fever when you kiss me.
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning.
Fever all through the night.
Sun lights up the daytime,
And moon lights up the night.
I light up when you call my name,
And you know I'm gonna treat you right.
You give me fever when you kiss me.
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning,
And fever all through the night.
Everybody's got the fever.
That is something you all know.
Fever isn't such a new thing.
Fever started long ago.
Romeo loved Juliet.
Juliet, she felt the same.
When he put his arms around her,
He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame.
Thou giveth fever when we kisseth.
Fever with thy flaming youth.
Fever, I'm afire.
Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth."
Cap'n Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair.
When her daddy tried to kill him,
She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare.
He gives me fever with his kisses.
Fever when he holds me tight.
Fever, I'm his missus,
So Daddy, won't you treat him right."
Now you've listened to my story,
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever,
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade.
They give you fever when you kiss them.
Fever if you live and learn.
Fever 'til you sizzle.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.

You're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
Here I am, I'm playing daydreaming fool again.
My favorite game.
And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above.
You're the one that I love and
you're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
I don't care if being with you
is meaningless and ridiculous;
If it's wrong or right.
I'm gonna give you my love tonight
and tomorrow night 'cause
you're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite wast of time.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
You're my-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
And one last thing:
I'm gonna give you my love tonight,
and the bells gonna ring 'cause
you're my-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby. you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.

This ole house once knew my children.
This ole house once knew my life.
This ole house was home and comfort
as we lived through storm and strife.
This ole house once rang with laughter.
This ole house heard many shouts.
Now she trembles in the darkness
when the lightning walks about.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
Ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
This ole house is gettin' shaky.
This ole house is gettin' old.
This ole house lets in the rain.
This ole house lets in the cold.
On my knees I'm gettin' shaky,
but I feel no fear or pain,
'cause I see an angel peekin'
through a broken window pane.
I ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
I ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
This ole house is afraid of thunder.
This ole house is afraid of storms.
This ole house just groans and trembles
when the night wind flings its arms.
This ole house is gettin' feeble.
This old house is needin' paint.
Just like me it's tuckered out,
but I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
I ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.

Across the bridge of mercy bound,
rooms so full of Say You Will
and trains that rock like cradles in the air.
I'll stay here and hold your hand.
Love likes fools you understand.
It's part of what this life has brought;
sirens and forget-me-nots.
Either way it's no use now.
He's up there and I'm down here.
I will try to make the best of this.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
All the signs that pointed home
turned their backs the more I roamed
and walked where love would never call my name.
So let me take you to the train
and hold you softer than the rain.
We're all alone, two alley cats
curled up like a scarf and hat.
Who knows how it came to this.
I don't know you and you don't know me.
But sometimes strangers cross that great abyss.
That's when angels will dream the perfect kiss.
Either way it's no use now.
He's up there and I'm down here.
But I must try to make the best of this.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.

Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Ooooooh.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Ooooooh.
I have no guts. I have no pride.
My heart is weak. My love is blind.
When your game is up I'll still be by your side.
If you love me at all, let this be the last time
that you break my heart,
that you break my heart,
that you break my heart.
You hurt me so much,
but I love you forever
'cause when you tear me up
you always put me back together
ever so gently,
ever so gently.
Baby, let this be the last time, yeah.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Oooooh.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Oooooh.
I bite my lip and hold my head up high.
I try my best not to let you see me cry.
I can take a joke and you can be unkind.
If you love me at all, let this be the last time
that you break my heart,
that you break my heart,
that you break my heart.
You hurt me so much,
but I love you forever
'cause when you tear me up
you always put me back together
ever so gently,
ever so gently.
Baby, let this be the last time, yeah.
Mmm, you hurt me so much,
but I love you forever
'cause when you tear me up
you always put me back together
ever so gently,
ever so gently.
Baby, let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Oooooh.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, Oooooh.
Let this be the last time.
Let this be the last time, whoa.
Ohhhhh, whoa.
That you hurt me at all, yeah.
The last time. Whoa.
Whoaoooo.
Whoa. The last time.
Oooh, yeah, the last time.
Oooooh, yeah, the last time.
That you hurt me at all.

Many men with lofty aims strive for lofty goals.
Others play at smaller games, being simpler souls.
I am of the latter brand. All I want to do
Is to find a spot of land and live there with you.
Someday we'll build a home
On a hilltop high, you and I,
Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill.
And we'll be pleased to be called
"The folks who live on the hill."
Someday we may be adding
A thing or two, a wing or two.
We will make changes as any family will.
But we will always be called
"The folks who live on the hill."
Our veranda will command a view of meadows green,
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen.
And when the kids grow up and leave us,
We'll sit and look at the same old view, just we two.
Darby and Joan who, used to be Jack and Jill,
The folks like to be called
What they have always been called,

Oooooh. Oooh-hoooh.
Ooooo-hoooh.
It's such a mystery
how he found something in me
that I never knew was there.
He uncovered it so easily.
He turned me like a season
and I began to change.
He wrapped himself all around me,
now I'll never be the same.
That's how love works.
That's how love moves.
Like a river running through you.
Sometimes it lifts you
as high as Heaven.
It consumes you, that's a given.
That's how love moves.
Ohh, that's how love moves.
I've seen walls that could never be broken
come a-tumblin' down, oh yes I have.
I've heard the voice of love calling
without making a sound.
See, I was touched by an angel
the day he took my hand.
I know that he's the miracle
that makes me eveything I am.
That's how love works.
That's how love moves.
Like a river running through you.
Sometimes it lifts you
as high as Heaven.
It consumes you, that's a given.
That's how love moves.
Ohh, that's how love moves.
Woah, love.
Sometimes it's a whisper,
oh, sometimes it's a storm,
sometimes it reaches forever
with it's everlasting arms.
That's how love works.
That's how love moves.
Like a river running through you.
Sometimes it lifts you
high as Heaven.
It consumes you, yeah, that's a given.
Ohhhhhhh!
That's how love works.
That's how love moves.
Like a river, yeah, like a river
running through you, running through your heart and soul.
Sometimes it lifts you
as high as Heaven.
Heaven!
It consumes you, that's a given.
That's how love works. That's how love works.
That's how love moves. That's how love moves.
Like a river running through you.
Like a river running through your heart and soul.
Sometimes it lifts you
as high as Heaven. Heaven!
It consumes you, that's a given.
That's how love moves.
That's how love moves.
That's how love moves.
That's how love moves.
That's how, that's how, that's how.
That's how love moves.

I was young, I was just sixteen then,
when you came up from Burma one day.
And you told me to pack up my suitcase,
and I did, and you took me away.
I said, "Do you work nice and steady,
or do you go sailing and roving out to sea?"
And you said, "I have a job on the railroad,
and baby, how swell it's all gonna be."
You said a lot, Johnny. It was all lies.
You sure had me fooled, right from the start.
I hate you when you laugh at me like that.
Take that pipe out of your mouth, Johnny.
Surabaya Johnny. Is it really the end?
Surabaya Johnny. Will the hurt ever mend?
Surabaya Johnny. Ooh, I burn at your touch.
You got no heart, Johnny, but oh, I love you so much.
Oh, at first you were kind and gentle,
'til I packed up and went off with you.
And it lasted two weeks until one day
you laughed at me and hit me too.
You dragged me all over the city,
up the river and down to the sea.
Now I look at myself in the mirror
and some old woman looks back at me.
You didn't want love, Johnny, you wanted money.
I gave you all I had. You wanted more.
Oh, don't look at me that way.
I'm only trying to talk to you.
Wipe that grin off your face, Johnny.
Surabaya Johnny. Is it really the end?
Surabaya Johnny. Will the pain never mend?
Surabaya Johnny. How I burn at your touch.
You got no heart, Johnny, but oh, I love you so much.
When we met I forgot to ask you
why they called you that funny name,
but in every hotel on the seacoast
I found out, and I loved you all the same.
I'm tired. I'm worn out.
The sea's pounding in my ears.
And I reach out my arms to hold you.
You're not here and who even cares?
You got no heart, Johnny. You're just no good.
You going now? Oh, tell me why.
I love you after all, Johnny, like that very first day.
Don't laugh at me no more, Johnny.
Surabaya Johnny. Is it really the end?
Surabaya Johnny. Will the hurt ever mend?
Surabaya Johnny. Oh, I burn at your touch.
You got no heart, Johnny, but oh, I love you,

Long ago and so far away,
I fell in love with you before the second show.
And your guitar just sounds so sweet and clear,
but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
Said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you.
Lonliness is such a sad affair.
And I can hardly wait, oh,
just to sleep with you again.
What can I say to have you come again?
Come back and play, yeah,
you could play, you could play, play that sad guitar.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
Yes, you said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby.
You called me baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you.
You know, lonliness is such a sad affair.
And I, I can hardly wait
just to sleep with him again.
What can I say to have him come back again?
He could come back and he could play,
play his sad guitar.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me?
Said you'd be coming back again, baby.
He called me baby.
Baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.

It was a hot afternoon
the last day of June,
and the sun was a demon.
The clouds were afraid.
One ten in the shade,
and the pavement was steamin'.
I told Billy Ray
in his red chevrolet
I needed time for some thinkin'.
He was just passing by
when I caught that boy's eye,
and I swore it was winkin'.
I was thirty-one,
he was seventeen.
He knew nothing about love.
I knew everything.
But he sat right down
on the front porch swing,
and I wondered what the
coming night would bring.
Sun closed my eyes,
climbed to the skies.
It was starting to swelter.
The sweat trickled down
the front of my gown.
I thought it would melt me.
I threw back my hair
like he wasn't there
and I sipped, oooh, something coolin'.
My shoulders bare,
he tried not to stare,
whoa, but I knew I wasn't foolin'.
I looked deep into those eyes of blue,
I said, "Boy, I know you're young,
don't know what to say or do.
But stay with me 'til the sun goes away
and I will chase the boy in you away!"
Guess you know why
that kid caught my eyes,
oooh, and why the memory still lingers.
Go back in my mind
to the very first time,
ooh-ooh-ooh, I felt the touch of somebody's fingers.
I go back in my mind
to the very first time
oh, I felt the touch of somebody's fingers.
And go, I go back in my mind
to the very first time I felt . . .
I go back in my mind
to the very first time
I felt the touch
of somebody's fingers.
The first time.

Ooooooh. Wooooh.
Strangers in the night, exchanging glances,
wondering in the night what were the chances
we would fall in love before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so exciting,
and in your smile, ooh, inviting.
In my heart I knew I must have you.
Strangers in the night, lonely people.
Strangers in the night up to the moment
we said our first hello. Little did we know
love was just a glance away, embracing dance away.
It's just a glance away. It's just a chance away.
Dancin', dancin' in the night. Stranger,
c'mon, c'mon, treat a stranger right.
I'm dancin', dancin' in the night. Stranger,
I say what's on my mind.
Let us be lovers. Yeah, it's gonna be all right
for strangers in the . . .
Yeah, woo-hoo!
I'm dancin', dancin' in the night.
Hello stranger. C'mon, whoa.
Dancin', I'm dancin' in the night. Hello stranger.
Woo. I'm dancin' in the night. Hello stranger.
Oh-wo. Ohhhh.
Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be
Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be strangers.
No, Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be
Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be strangers.
Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be
Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be strangers.
No, no, nooo, don't wanna be strangers.

Daybreak.
How can I ever leave this place beside you?
You were the only one I ever cried to.
The night is through.
Now it's heartache.
I got to get home before he sees it's daybreak.
Light from the sky is shining through the curtain lace.
I never really meant to stay.
And now it's daybreak.
We were just sitting and talking.
Oh, who would have thought we'd be spending the night
dreading the light of daybreak?
How can I leave this place beside you?
How can I leave you, baby, leave you?
I don't want to go.
And now it's daybreak.
We were like storybook children.
Hey, but, like all good fairytales, this one must end.
Here is the end. It's daybreak.
How can I ever leave this place beside you?
You were the only one I ever cried to.
The night is through.
Lord knows it's daybreak.
And it feels like heartbreak.
I don't want to leave you,
I don't want to leave you, I need you!
Looks like it's daybreak,
but it feels like it's heartache.
I don't want to leave you,
don't make me leave you, I need you!
Daybreak.
Sunlight shining through the lace.
I need you.
Sun is smiling on your face.
I need you.
Don't make me leave you!

Once I was a sentimental thing;
threw my heart away each spring.
Now a spring romance
hasn't got a chance.
Promised my first dance to winter.
All I've got to show's a splinter
for my little fling.
Spring this year has got me feeling
like a horse that never left the post.
I lie in my room
staring up at the ceiling.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers,
and to them I'd like to drink a toast.
But I walk in the park
just to kill the lonely hours.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
All afternoon the birds twitter-twitt.
I know the tune. This is love, this is it.
Heard it before
and don't I know the score.
And I've decided that spring is a bore.
Love seems sure around the new year.
Now it's April. Love is just a ghost.
Spring arrived on time,
only what became of you, dear?
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Love came my way. I thought it would last.
We had our day, now it's all in the past.
Spring came along, a season of song,
full of sweet promise
but something went wrong.
Doctors once prescribed a tonic.
Sulfur and molasses was the dose.
Didn't help one bit.
My condition must be chronic.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
All alone, the party is over.
Old man winter was a gracious host.
But when you keep praying
for snow to hide the clover,

There was a child named Bernadette.
I heard the story long ago.
She saw the queen of heaven once
and kept the vision in her soul.
No one beleived what she had seen.
No one beleived what she heard,
that there were sorrows to be healed
and mercy, mercy in this world.
So many hearts I find
broke like yours and mine,
torn by what we've done and can't undo.
I just wanna hold you.
Come on, let me hold you
like Bernadette would do.
We've been around, we fall, we fly.
We mostly fall, we mostly run.
And every now and then we try
to mend the damage that we've done.
Tonight, tonight I just can't rest.
I've got this joy here, here inside my breast.
To think that I did not forget
that child, that song of Bernadette.
So many hearts I find,
hearts like yours and mine,
torn by what we've done and can't undo.
Well, I just wanna hold you.
Come on, let me hold you
like Bernadette would do.
I just wanna hold you.
Won't you let me hold you

Candles in the window
Shadows painting the ceiling
Gazing at the fire glow
Feeling that gingerbread feeling
Precious moments, special people
Happy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memory
Christmas joys all around me
Living in my memory
All of the music, all of the magic
All of the family, home here with me
Memories of my childhood
When I was 5, 6 and 7
I would wake when dawn would
Living in Christmas Day Heaven
Precious moments, special people
Happy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memory
All of these dreams all around me
Living in my memory
All of the music, all of the magic

Some people can get a thrill
knitting sweaters and setting still.
That's okay for some people
who don't know they're alive.
Some people can thrive and bloom
living life in the living room.
That's perfect for some people
of one hundred and five.
But I at least gotta try
when I think of all the sights that I gotta see
and all the places I gotta play,
all the things that I gotta be at.
Come on, papa, what do you say?
Some people can be content
playing bingo and paying rent.
That's peachy for some people,
for some hum-drum people to be,
but some people ain't me!
I had a dream,
a wonderful dream, papa,
all about June in the Orpheum circuit.
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.
I had a dream.
Just as real as can be, papa.
There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
and he was saying to me, "Rose,
get yourself some new orchestrations,
new routines and red velvet curtains.
Get a feathered hat for the baby;
photographs in front of the theatre.
Get an agent and in jig time
you'll be being booked in the big time."
Oh, what a dream.
A wonderful dream, papa.
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.
That's what he said, papa.
Only eighty-eight bucks.
"You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose."
"Well, I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And get my kids out!"
Goodbye to blueberry pie.
Good ridance to all the socials I had to go to,
all the lodges I had to play,
all the shriners I said hello to.
Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way!
Some people sit on their butts;
got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
That's living for some people,
for some hum-drum people I suppose.
Well, they can stay and rot!

Funny, you're a stranger who's come here,
come from another town.
Funny, I'm a stranger myself here.
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, you're a man who goes traveling
rather than settling down.
Funny, 'cause I'd love to go traveling.
Small world, isn't it?
We have so much in common,
it's a phenomenon.
We could pool our resources
by joining forces from now on.
Lucky, you're a man who likes children.
That's an important sign.
Lucky, I'm a woman with children.
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, isn't it small and funny and fine?
We have so much in common,
it's a phenomenon.
We could pool our resources
by joining forces from now on.
Lucky, you're a man who likes children.
That's an important sign.
Lucky,
You're a
woman with children.
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, isn't it
isn't it

Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters
Never had to a shaper one, no sir
I'm here to keep my eye on her
Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
When a certain gentle man arrived from Rome
She wore the dress and I stayed home
All kinds of weather we stick together
The same in the rain or sun
Two different faces but in tight places
We think and we act as one
Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing can come between us
Many men have tried to split us up
But no one can
Lord, help the Mister who comes
Between me and my sister
And Lord help the sister that comes
Between me and my man
All kinds of weather we stick together
The same in the rain or sun
Two different faces but in tight places
We think and we act as one
Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing can come between us
Many men have tried to split us up
But no one can
Lord, help the Mister who comes
Between me and my sister
And Lord help the sister that comes
Between me and my man
Sisters, sisters
Sisters, don't you come

Well, I'm leavin' my family, leavin' all my friends.
My body's at home, but my heart's in the wind
where the clouds are like headlines upon a new front page sky.
My tears are salt water. The moon's full and high.
And I know Martin Eden is gonna be proud of me.
Many before me been called by the sea
to be up in the crows nest singin' by saying:
Shiver me timbers. Sailing away.
And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting, I'm drifting on out.
Old Captain Ahab's got nothin' on me.
Swallow me, don't follow me. I travel alone.
The water's my daughter. I shall skip like a stone.
And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting, I'm drifting on out.
Old Captain Ahab longs to hear me shout,
"Swallow me, don't follow me. I travel alone.
The water, she's my daughter. I'll skip like a stone."
Won't you please call my old man. Tell him not to cry.
My goodbyes are written by the moon in the sky.
Say, nobody knows me. Can't fathom my staying.
Shiver me timbers. I'm sailing away.

When my teeth are rinsed in a glass by my bed,
and my hair lies somewhere in a drawer,
you know, the world doesn't seem like a very nice place,
not a very nice place anymore.
But I put in my teeth, and I slap on my hair
and a strange thing occurs when I do,
my teeth start to feel like my very own teeth
and my hair like my very own too.
And I'm ready to begin again.
Ready to begin again.
Reachin' for the soap,
my heart is full o' hope
again, again.
Ready to begin again!
Looking fresh and bright I trust.
Ready to begin again,

There is a land I know
where lovers go and flowers grow
forever more;
where time is standing still
and lovers fill the quiet places
by the shore.
We will cross the rainbow
to a place where we'll be free,
and he'll give his love to me.
So I wait for the day
when he takes me away to
Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk along the sand.
It's never-never land.
Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa.
We'll build a castle there
where we can share the happiness
we've waited for.
Where white flamingos fly
a-way up high and play above
the ocean floor.
We will climb a mountain
to see our wonderland.
Maybe know you'll understand
why I wait for the day
when he takes me away to
Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk along the sand.
A never-never land.
Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa.
I'll stand by him,
do right by him
and I swear that I would die for him.
Ohh, die for him.
Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk along the sand.
It's never-never land.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll stand by him,
do right by him.
Oh, yeah. Oh-oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna stand by him.
Gonna do right, gonna do right by him.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeaeaeaeaheah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.

Dear, I thought I'd drop a line.
The weather's cool. The folks are fine.
I'm in bed each night at nine.
P.S. I love you.
Yesterday we had some rain,
but all in all I can't complain.
Was it dusty on the train?
P.S. I love you.
Write to the Browns just as soon as you're able.
They came around to call.
I burned a hole in the dining room table.
And let me see, I guess that's all.
Nothin' else for me to say,
and so I'll close. Oh, by the way,
everybody's thinkin' of you.
P.S. I love you.
I do my best to obey all your wishes.
I put a sign up. Think
now I got to buy us a new set of dishes,
or wash the ones that have piled in the sink.
Nothing else to tell you, dear.
Except, each day feels like a year.
Every night I'm dreamin' of you.
P.S. I love you.

You're out of the woods,
you're out of the dark,
you're out of the night.
Step into the sun,
step into the light,
then open your eyes
and love will open, ahhh,
open, ahhh,
open, open, open, open up.
Come on along and listen to
the lullaby of Broadway.
The hip-hooray and balley-hoo.
The lullaby of Broadway.
The rumble of the subway train.
The rattle of the taxi.
The Daffodils who entertain
at Angelo's and Maxi's.
When a Broadway baby says good night,
it's early in the morning.
Manhattan babys don't sleep tight
until the dawn.
Good night, baby.
Good night. Milkman's on his way.
Doon, doon, doon.
Sleep tight, baby.
Sleep tight. Let's call it a day. Hey!
Come on along and listen to
the lullaby of Broadway.
The hi-de-hi and boop-boop-buh-doo.
It's just the lullaby of Broadway.
The band begins to go to town
and everyone goes crazy.
You rock-a-bye your baby 'round
'til everything gets hazy.
Hush-a-bye, I'm gonna buy you this and that,
you hear your daddy sing.
Then baby goes home to her flat
to sleep all day.
Good night, baby.
Good night. The milkman's on his way.
Do, do, do, doodley-do.
Sleep tight,oh, my baby.
Sleep tight. Let's call it a day.
Listen to the lullaby of
ol-bo-ba-bo-ba-b'old doo doo doo Broadway!

Walking along the beach last night
who do you think I spy?
A girl with ebony fire eyes.
Soft and low do she cry.
Now what could be such a source of pain?
I so boldly inquire.
Pointing finger Havana way,
these three words which transpire:
She told me that only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami.
My story, she goes this way.
Fish may fly through the purple keys,
golden birds take to air.
I am bound to the earth, it seems.
My life can be so unfair.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Standing on the shoreline waiting,
everyone anticipating.
I can hear the broken hearted say:
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
And she cries for her child without a mother.
And she cries for her son without a father.
And she cries for herself without a lover.
Can't face another day.
Chase the blues away.
I thought I heard her mumble as she
turned away:
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Standing on the shoreline waiting,
everyone anticipating.
I can hear the broken hearted say:
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so,
Only in Miami
is Cuba so,
Only in Miami
Ba Cuba so,
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami

Girl to girl, there's nothing like
how they understand.
Heal the wounds when the boys bite.
They're just holding your hand.
Can't explain to a man how
those girls know. Girls show
strength that living can bring.
So strong, so long,
songs the girls sing.
(Four part round)
One more round, girls.

"Hey, nice piano playin', Manilla."
"Thank you, Miss M."
"Whatcha doin' these days?"
"Makin' records."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Do you still play piano for people?"
"Well, depends on who."
Hmmm, I'm gonna get you
on a slow boat to China,
all to myself alone;
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore;
Leave all the others
waitin' on a faraway shore.
Out on the briny
where the moon's big and shiny,
melting your heart of stone.
I'm gonna get you
on a slow boat to China,
all to myself alone.
"Bette, I didn't know you felt that way about me."
"I don't. I need a piano player."
"Ahh, just like the old days!"
"You're not gonna change keys on me, are ya?"
"Unh Huh."
"Ohhh!"
I'm gonna get you
You're never gonna get me.
on a slow boat to China
Not in a fast or slow boat to any crick.
all to myself alone;
I just get motion sick
I'm gonna make you mine.
Ha, you'll have to stand in line.
Get you and keep you in my band evermore;
Now there's a new attack.
Leave all the others on the shore.
For me they'd swim to China, to China and back.
Out on the briny
I wouldn't like the ocean,
where the moon's big and shiny,
not even in a rowboat.
melting your heart of stone.
Come on, what do you say?
Ha ha, you always get your way.
I'm gonna get you
on a slow boat to China,
all to myself alone, to-ge-ther.

If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air,
quaint little villages here and there,
you're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
If you like the taste of a lobster stew
served by a window with an ocean view,
you're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
Winding roads that seem to beckon you.
Miles of green beneath the skies of blue.
Church bells chimin' on a sunday morn
remind you of the town where you were born.
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay,
watching the moonlight on Old Cape Cod bay.
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay,
watching the moonlight on Old Cape Cod bay.
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
You're sure to fall in love, in love, in love.
You're sure to fall in love, in love,

Who loves me even though I'm crazy
and nothing that I say is true?
Who won my heart and soul forever?
It's nobody else but,
nobody else but . . .
Each time I feel I'm out to pasture
who always makes me feel brand new?
I'm pledging my allegiance baby
to nobody else but,
nobody else but . . .
Look at me, laughing out loud,
trying to remember all the jokes that you taught me.
When you see the light in my eyes,
it's only a reflection of the joy that you brought me.
How did I get to be so happy?
I've wondered that my whole life through, yeah.
I thank my lucky stars for sending me
nobody else but, nobody else but,
nobody else but you.
La, la, la, la, you, yeah.
La, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la.
Look at me, laughing out loud,
trying to remember all the jokes that you taught me.
When you see the love in my eyes,
it's only a reflection of the joy that you brought me.
I always knew I had an angel,
a voice that told me what to do, yeah.
But now that angel's on my shoulder.
It's nobody else but, nobody else but,
nobody else but you.
La, la, la, la, you, yeah.
La, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, woah.
La, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la,

My Momma says that I must leave him alone.
But how can I do that
when I want him in my home?
He watched me change from boys to boys
and now I am his size.
So how can I forget him now
when I long to share his life?
Mommy, Mommy, he loves your daughter.
No jestering!
No one can make me leave him.
No jestering!
So you can tell me anything you want.
I'll never let him out of my sight.
Tell me how much he's not my type,
but someday I'm gonna be his wife.
Mommy, mommy, he loves your daughter.
No, no jestering!
No one can make me leave him.
It's no . . .
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
You mustn't let the horse run away
before you're gonna close the door.
And all my life I watched him grow.
Each day I love him more and more.
Oh, mommy, mommy, he loves your daughter.
No, no jestering!
No one can make me leave him.
It's no . . .
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la.
So tell me anything you want.
I'll never let him out of my sight.
Tell me how much I'm not his type.
One day I'm gonna be his wife.
Oh, mommy, mommy, he loves your daughter.
No, no jestering!
No one can make me leave him.
It's no . . .
Mommy he loves me.
mommy release me.
He don't want to hurt me.
He just wants to please me.
Mommy forgive me.
Don't you worry.
My heart is on fire and I'm in a hurry.
La la la la la la la la la la la,
la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la la la,
la la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la la la,
la la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la la la,
la la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la,

Ohhhhhhh.
Maybe you and I see life with two different visions,
and neither one of us is wrong or right.
And maybe we're too serious and don't wanna listen.
I just wanna make you laugh tonight.
We're like day and night, night and day.
We are both so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night,
and we go together just like black and white.
Seems you're always out one door when I'm in the other.
It's so hard to find some quiet time.
(So hard to find the time)
Wish that we could spend our lives alone with each other,
and never think about the world outside.
We're like day and night, night and day.
We are oh, so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night.
Still we know it's gonna be all right.
And if we never really get the picture right,
how many of us ever really win the fight?
I never want to lose your love,
or let the distance get the best of us,
'cause time is moving fast enough!
Maybe we don't always share a common opinion.
It's true that you and I don't think alike.
But when I look into your eyes and all is forgiven,
(all is forgiven)
all I wanna do is hold you tight.
We're like day and night, night and day.
We are both so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night.
Still we know it's gonna be all right.
We're like night and day, day and night.
We go together just like black and white.
We're like, we're like, we're like, we're like
day and night, night and day,
day and night, night and day.
We're like, we're like, we're like
day and night, night and day.

And now, is it too late to say
How you made my life so different in your quiet way
I can see the joy in simple things
A sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing
I have walked and I have I prayed
I could forgive and we could start again
In the end, you are my one true friend
For all, all the times you closed your eyes
Allowing me to stumble or to be surprised
By life, with all its twists and turns
I made mistakes, you always knew that I would learn
And when I left, it's you who stayed
You always knew that I'd come home again
In the end, you are my one true friend
Though love may break, it never dies
It changes shape, through changing eyes
What I denied, I now can see
You always were the light inside of me
I know, I know, I know, I know it was you
I have walked and I have I prayed
I could forgive and we could start again
In the end, you are my one true friend
My one true friend
I always, always knew
I always knew that it was you
My one true friend

"I think I'll sing you a little ballad.
It's a new one. I just learnt it.
Oh, I hope you like it."
Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair.
Does anybody really care?
It's gettin' cold out here.
Well, I keep walkin' with my head held high,
with my head to the sky,
with my mother's eyes.
And my mother's eyes are with me
in the darkness that's been paid for.
I'm just a nameless stranger, don't know why.
Have I seen all that I could?
Have I seen more than I should
with my mother's eyes?
Have I seen all that I could?
Have I seen more than I should
with my mother's eyes?
And my mother's eyes are with me
in the chilly winds of autumn.
If I ain't here by winter, she'll know why.
I've seen all that I dare.
I've seen more than my share.

"Hi, operator."
"May I help you?"
"Yeah, it's me again. Did you get him on the line yet? . . .
Oh, this is awful. I've been trying to get him all day. . . .
No, it's okay. I'll wait."
Mr. Rockefeller, how are you?
Mr. Rockefeller, having fun?
Mr. Rockefeller I could use a few
if you'd like to send a few down my way.
Mr. Rockefeller, I get my magazines,
I see you on the TV too, yeah.
Mr. Rockefeller, they tell me, they tell me all about it,
but they don't tell me how are you.
Sometimes I think I know you,
sometimes I think I don't.
Sometimes I think we'll make it,
sometimes I think we won't.
Waiting on the wire,
and I'm ragged to the bone.
Mr. Rockefeller won't you
please pick up the phone?
The reason I'm calling is to say
I'm not feeling so good.
I'm all broken down.
My family is nervous and my thoughts are blue.
But I wanna know, I gotta know,
I'm askin' everybody, how are you?
Please, won't you answer me?
Won't you take the time?
The next call's got to be collect,
'cause this is my last dime.
Waiting on the wire,
and I'm ragged to the bone.
Mr. Rockefeller, please pick up the phone.
Mr. Rockefeller, how are you?
Mr. Rockefeller, having fun?
Mr. Rockefeller, how are you?
Mr. Rockefeller, having fun?
Mr. Rockefeller, please, Mr. Rockefeller.
Mr. Rockefeller, whoooh.
Mr. Rockefeller, please, Mr. Rockefeller.
Mr. Rockefeller, oooh.
Mr. Rockefeller, please, Mr. Rockefeller.
Mr. Rockefeller, whoooh.
Mr. Rockefeller, please, Mr. Rockefeller.
Mr. Rockefeller, oooh.
Mr. Rockefeller, wouldn't it be nice?

Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
to cross this sea of lonliness,
part this red river of pain.
I don't necessarily buy
any key to the future or hapiness
but I need a little place in the sun sometimes
or I think I'll die.
And everywhere is somewhere but nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
But I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
with an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer. Heh.
Every time I see him he smiles
and tells me how well he's walking these miles.
But he never ever asks a single thing about me.
If I died he'd hear about it eventually.
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
to cross this sea of lonliness,
part this red river of pain. Ohhh.
'Cause everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
And I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
with my bills in the mailbox and some checks that won't clear this year.
Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
So I'm just a tragic figure in the corner over here
who'll sleep it off 'til morning and still not know that we're,
we're all just diamonds and roses. I need Moses
to cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
Ly ly ly, ly ly ly, ly ly ly.

Now my grandfather was a sailor.
He blew in off the water.
My father was a farmer
and I his only daughter.
Took up with a no good
millworking man from Massachusetts
who died from too much whiskey
and leaves me these three faces to feed.
Millwork ain't easy, millwork ain't hard.
Millwork, it ain't nothin'
but an awful, boring job.
I'm waiting for a daydream
to take me through the mornin';
Put me in my coffee break
where I can have a sandwhich and remember.
And it's me and my machine
for the rest of the mornin',
for the rest of the afternoon,
for the rest of my life.
Now my mind begins to wander
to the days back on the farm.
I can see my father smilin'
and me swingin' on his arm.
I can hear my granddad's stories
of the storms out on Lake Erie,
where vessels and cargos
and fortunes and sailor's lives were lost.
Yeah, but it's my life that's been wasted.
And I have been the fool
to let this manufacture
use my body for a tool.
As I ride home in the evenin'
I'm staring at my hands,
swearin' by my sorrow
that a young girl ought to stand a better chance.
Oh, but may I work the mills
just as long as I'm able,
and never meet the man
who's name is on the label.
Whoa, it's me and my machine
for the rest of the mornin',
for the rest of the afternoon,

It's midnight in Memphis
and all the boys are out tonight.
Oh, midnight in Memphis,
but my true love is not in sight.
The neon's glowing,
but I just don't see the light.
I'm following my footsteps
trying to find myself a friend.
Oh, baby! Following my footsteps
trying to see where they might end.
I'm tryin' to break these blues,
but I can't even get them to bend.
Oh, midnight in Memphis.
Well, ya take me away.
Midnight in Memphis.
It's a long, long time
before the day.
Runnin' down on Beale Street.
Can you hear that engine roar?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Runnin' down on Beale Street.
There's a girl in every door.
Yeah, it don't matter what you got,
they're asking me for more.
Play it for me one time, boys.
I heard the river risin',
risin' up over my head.
Yeah, heard the river risin',
and this is what it said:
"I don't need no live ones;
I just take care of the dead."
Oh, midnight in Memphis.
Take me, take me away.
Midnight in Memphis.
It's a long, long time
before the day.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, midnight in Memphis.
Midnight in Memphis.
Midnight in Memphis.
It's a long, long time
before the day,

The world is full of married men

He'll say he just wants to be friends.
And then he'll walk outta your life
and go home to his wife
'cause he's a married man.

The phone is off the hook

I feel romantic
and the record changes automatic, baby.

Honey, you're from Detroit.
You know a lot about wheels.
A summertime hot rod's givin' me the brake job.
Don't you stop 'til I start to squeal.
'Cause, baby, I love your body

But I need more than a tune up.

Darlin', let me drive. Mmm, let me drive.
Let me behind the wheel.
I wanna know how your hot rod feels.

And, baby, they say you'll deliver

I wanna feel all that power comin' alive.
Darlin', let me drive. Mmm, let me drive.

Hold me close and hold me fast.
This magic spell you cast;
this is la vie en rose.
When you kiss me, heaven sighs.
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose.
When you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.
Give your heart and soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.
Mmm, when you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.
Give your heart, your soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be

If I close my eyes,
take my time,
I can almost feel your lips against mine.
If I close my eyes,
drift away,
I can almost see us back there smiling.
But it's too late, it's too late.
Baby, I can't reach you.
It's too late, too late.
We've drifted out too far.
I don't know where love goes
or how we might have saved it,
I only know it's gone.
It's time that we moved on.
It's too late.
No use going on.
No more crying.
Stand outside ourselves and watch love dying.
'Cause it's too late, it's too late.
Baby, I can't hold you.
It's too late, too late.
Now time will take it's toll.
I don't know where love goes
or how we might have saved it.
I only know it's gone.
It's time that we moved on.
It's too late.
In my dreams we turn it back around
and the love we lost is found,
and I hand it all to you.
But I know I'm only dreamin'.
It's too late. Ahhhhh, too late.
Should I stay, should I wait,
should I stand here by your door?
I don't know what for.
You don't live here anymore.
And it's too late.
My little baby.
Yeah-ahhh, it's too late.

Don't ask me why
you feel the need to cry.
Stop. We don't need your sad, sad eyes.
I've been up, I've been down,
I've been wandering all around.
But it's all right.
I found out the hard way.
Is it love that makes
your world go 'round and 'round?
Is it love that brings
you to my lost and found?
Around, around, around,
around, around, around,
around, around.
Is it you? Is it me?
I'm my own worst enemy.
Got a start on the road
to self-destruction. Oooh, Whoa.
Don't stop, but don't go,
'cause I really need to know
what it takes just to make
th, this world go. Ooooooh.
Is it love that makes
the world go 'round and 'round?
Is it love that brings
you to my lost and found?
Around, around, around,
around, around, around,
around, around, around, around.
Ohhhhh, is it love that makes
your world go 'round and 'round?
Is it love that brings
you to my lost and found?
Around, around, around,
around, around, around,
around, around, around, around.
Is it love that makes
the world go 'round and around?
Is it love that brings
you to my lost and found?
Around, around, around,
around, around, around,
around, around, around, around.
Come around, come around,
come around, aroooouuuund.
Come around, come around,
come around, around.
Come around, come around,

"Gentlemen, gentlemen please! Senors, por favor!"
I once met a man with a sense of adventure.
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went.
He said, "Let's make love on a mountaintop,
under the stars on a big hard rock."
I said, "In these shoes? What is this, the Peace Corps?"
I said, "Honey, let's do it here."
So we're sittin' at a bar in Guadalajara,
in walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes.
He says, "I've got a powerful horse outside.
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride.
I know a little place we can get before the break of day."
I said, "In these shoes? No way, Jose!"
I said, "Honey, let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
Then I met an Englishman.
"Oh," he said, "Are you American?
Won't you walk up and down on my spine?
It makes me feel strangely alive."
I said, "In these shoes? Oh, I doubt you'd survive."
I said, "Honey . . . let's do it . . . hehehehe"
"Let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.

Jumping with my boy, Sid
right here in the city.
Don't you know that is was grand?
Really grand, so grand.
And then you came along,
then you came along, boy.
And sang your groovy song,
sang a song and I asked:
Mr. Whatchacallem, whatcha doing tonight?
Hope you're in the mood
because I'm feeling just right.
How's about a corner
with a table for two?
Where the music's mellow
is a gay rendezvous.
There's no chance romancing
with a blue attitude.
You know you got to do some dancing
to get in the mood.
Mr. Watchacallem, I'm indebted to you.
You're here. It goes to show what good influence can do.
Never felt so happy or so fully alive.
He's a jam a jumpin', it's a powerful jive!
Swing-a-roo is giving me a new attitude.
My heart is full of rhythm
and I'm in the mood.
In the mood (oh boy) be mine forever.
In the groove (that boy) and leave me never.
In the mood (oh joy) give me some kissing.
You know it won't be long
before you're in the mood!
Don't be rude, I love you madly.
It's up to you, I'll take you gladly.
Love is blind, my vision's hazy.
It didn't take me long to say
I'm in the mood!
Do ba do ba do bop boo da da day.
Ba da-n-da da-n do da-n do day.
Who's that guy with the beautiful eyes?
'N' look at those lips, I'd try 'em for size.
Hey! Swing with me!
What a wing it'd be!
May I intrude? It's time to dance
and I'm in the mood!
Oh, hold me darling, let's dance.
What a dreamy romance.
It's a quarter to three.
There's a mess-o-that moon.
Let's share it with me.
You know, I think it's rude
to keep me this way
when I'm in the mood.
I'm in the mood, in the groove!
In the mood, ah, ah, ah!
Man-oh-man, wow!
Like, you really got me lookin'.
Oh, and you really got me cookin', oh!
My heart went flip, my brain went skip.
I said c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
I'm hot now! Oh boy! I love you madly!
Right now! Oh boy! I'll take you gladly!
Tight now! Oh boy! I'll be in!
And now I'm really in the mood, boy!
Rompin'! Stompin'! Smokin'!
Why don't we go somewhere and smooch, boy?
It's got to be right now!
It's gotta be right now!
It's got to be right now!
I'm only saying that it didn't take me long,
didn't take me long, didn't take me long
to say I'm in the mood.

Sue wants a barbeque.
Sam wants to boil a ham.
Grace votes for builabaise stew.
Jake wants a weenie bake,
stake and a layer cake.
He'll get a tummy ache, too.
We'll rent a tent or teepee.
Let the town cryer cry.
And if it's RSVP,
this is what I'll reply:
In the cool, cool, cool of the evenin',
tell 'em I'll be there.
In the cool, cool, cool of the evenin',
better save a chair.
When the party's gettin' a glow on,
singin' fills the air.
In the shank of the night,
when the doins' are right,
well you can tell 'em I'll be there.
"Oui," said the bumblebee,
"Let's have jubilee."
"When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?"
"Sure," said the dinosaur.
"Where?" said the grisly bear.
"Under the light of the moon."
"How 'bout your brother, jackass?"
everyone gaily cried.
"You comin' to the fracas?"
"Offer respects," he sighed.
In the coooool of the evenin',
tell 'em I'll be there.
In the coooool of the evenin',
better save a chair.
When the party's gettin' a glow on,
singin' fills the air.
If I ain't in a clique,
and there's something to pick,
well you can tell 'em I'll be there.
If I can crawl out of bed
and slap a hat on my head,
well you can tell 'em I'll be there.
If there's room for one more,
and you need me, why sure,

"It's Christmas time. Gonna sing a little song for you."
There are places I remember
all my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better.
And some have gone, and some remain.
All these places have their moments
with lovers and friends I still can't recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life I love them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one compares with you.
And these memories lose their meaning
when I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life I love you more.
Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think of them.
But in my life I loved you more.
I love you more.

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas

I gave my heart to you, the one that I trusted.
You brought it back to me all broken and busted
so I sold my heart to the junkman
and I'll never fall in love again.
You took my heart because you thought you could use it.
Just like a little toy you battered and bruised it
so I sold my heart to the junkman
and I'll never fall in love again.
Like a melodrama, in a simple manner,
love played the leading part.
We had planned a happy ending.
Now I'm left with a broken heart.
Ohhh, I'll throw away my pride and say we'll be friends, dear.
Teardrops I just can't hide 'cause this is the end, dear.
I sold my heart to the junkman
and I'll never fall in love again.
Like a melodrama, in a simple manner,
love played the leading part.
We had planned a happy ending.
Now I'm left with a broken heart.

I sold my heart to the junkman

Woke up this mornin'
with an awful achin' head.
Woke up this mornin'
with an awful achin' head.
My new man left me.
I'm just a bloom in an empty bed.
Now, when my bed gets empty
I get to feelin' kind of mean and blue.
When my bed gets empty,
get to feelin' awful mean and blue.
The springs are gettin' rusty
sleepin' single like I do.
I bought me a coffee grinder,
the best one I could find.
You know that I bought me a brand new coffee grinder,
the best one I could find,
so he could grind my coffee.
Babe, I got a brand new grind.
You gotta try, girl, you gotta try.
He was a deep sea diver
with a stroke that could not go wrong.
Deep, deep sea, deep sea diver
with a stroke that just could not go wrong.
He could touch the bottom,
and his wind held out so long.
Oh, he boiled my cabbage,
and he made it awful hot,
tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, mmmm.
He boiled it, I got to tell you
that he made it, made it awful hot.
But when he slipped the bacon in,
he overflowed the pot!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What a sweet man he was.
I went and told my girlfriend Lou.
Remember that old rag of a girl named Lou?
Real sweet man.
I went and told my girlfriend Lou.
That way that girl is, baby,
she must have had a piece of it, too.
And now when you get good lovin',
don't you, don't you spread the news.
Don't you spread the news.
When you get it and it's good, good, good,
you really ought not to,
you ought not to spread the news.
Because those gals will doublecross you and leave you,
those gals will doublecross you, and they do,
those gals will doublecross you
and leave you, leave you, leave you,
leave you with the empty bed blues!

"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Angels on my left and right to keep me safe all through the night."
There's a place way up high,
starry bright there, through the night there.
Close your eyes. Let your wishes fly.
You'll be in Dreamland by and by.
Dimpled and drowsy, off you go,
over the treetops, sliding down a rainbow.
Sleepyhead, curl up in your bed.
And 'til the sun says, "Rise and shine,"
sleep warm in Dreamland, baby mine.
There's a place worlds away,
time has wings there, green with springs there.
Smiles and songs bloom on every tree.
Only in Dreamland, just wait and see.
Deep down inside us, a child's still there,
wishing for Dreamland, knowing that it's somewhere.
Though it may seem so far away,
if you believe that dreams come true,
you'll find a Dreamland waiting for you.
Mmmmmm.

Do you wanna dance, and hold my hand?
Tell me you're my lover man.
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
We could dance under the moonlight,
hug and kiss all through the night.
Oh baby, tell me, do you wanna dance with me baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance with me baby?

additional lyrics from the quadrophonic version
Tonight you, you got to
dance with me baby.
Please, please, please

Please, please, please, please

You took me from my mother's lovin' arms.
I still had about a foot to grow.
Whoa-ooh, I must have been only maybe seventeen.
It was a very long time ago.
Actually we raised each other;

You wait 'til you become a part of me,
then you wanna put me on the shelf.

Woah, that first kiss you gave me, I still remember.

Your lips were so warm and tender.
That kiss, I'll always remember.
That was the first day we met.
I remember what the preacher said:
"Girl, will you be his wedded wife,
forever and ever
'n' stand beside that boy forever,
like for the rest of your natural life?"

Starvin' for some lovin'.
Oh-oh, what I would give,
what I would give for just one kiss.
Every rain drop I hear
against my window pane.
And it's beatin' through
so loud and clear.
Words, words that speak your name.
See I, I got no where to turn
now that you have gone,
and I feel like
breaking up somebody's home.
I know it's useless
hangin' on when you belong to someone else.
But I can't shake the feelin'.
Oh, after all, I didn't make this bed.
I got nowhere to turn
na, na, na, now, na, now, now that you have gone.
I saw the boy last night
and I believe I caught a chill.
Well, I could, I could not control the vibration,
and my heart, my heart,
my heart justa would not stand still.
I got nowhere to turn
a now, now, now, now that you have gone,
and I feel like
breaking up somebody's home.
Got nowhere, a nowhere to run
and I'm so damn tired of being all alone,
and I feel like
breaking up somebody's home.
I know it's useless
hangin' on when you, you, you, ya,
you belong to someone else.
But I, la, la, la, can't shake the feeling,
oh, after all, I didn't want it this way.
I swear I did not want it this way.
But I got nowhere, a no where to run,
and I'm so g-ddamned tired of being alone,
and I feel like breaking up somebody's home.
Got nowhere, a nowhere to run,
and I'm so g-ddamned tired of being alone,
and I, I feel like, feel like,
breaking up some mutha's home.
One more time.
I, I got nowhere to turn,
a nowhere to, nowhere to, nowhere to turn,
and I feel like, I feel like,
breaking, breaking up somebosy's home.

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way.
He had a boogie style that no one else could play.
He was the top man at his craft,
but then his number came up and he was gone with the draft.
He's in the army now. He's blowin' reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.
They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam.
It really brought him down because he could not jam.
The captain seemed to understand,
because the next day the cap' went out and drafted the band.
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.
A root, a toot, a toodlie-a-da-toot.
He blows it eight to the bar in boogie rhythm.
He can't blow a note unless a bass and guitar
is playin' with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.
He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.
And when he played his boogie woogie bugle
he was busy as a busy bee.
And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.
Andata toodliata-toodliata toot toot
he blows it eight to the bar.
He can't blow a note if a bass and guitar
isn't with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.
He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night,
and wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright.
They clap their hands and stamp their feet,
'cause they know how it goes when someone gives him a beat.
Woah, woah, he wakes 'em up when he plays reveille.
The boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.
A root, a toot, a toodli-a-da to toot toot toot
he's blowin' eight to the bar.
Yeah, he can't blow a note if a bass and guitar
isn't, woah, with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.

Every night while I'm undressin',
sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin',
I can hear hot licks
from a set of drums upstairs.
Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there;
Johnny's overseas. We no not where.
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot
I can hear a tenor drum say:
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that kid in the G.I. lid
gonna choo-choo down the track?
Poor ol' me, I'm beat as can be,
and my rim has even started to rust.
Look at these sticks tryin' to take out the licks,
they're covered with an inch of dust, beep-a-dust.
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
gonna launch that last attack?
If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japenese derby
and beat it like a cymbal on a music rack.
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
gonna launch that last attack?
If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japenese derby

Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.

Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction.
A real big spender,
Good lookin', so refined.
Say, wouldn't you like to know
What's goin on in my mind?
So let me get to the point.
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see.
Hey big spender,
Spend a little time with me.
Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun?
How's about a few laughs, laughs, laughs?
I can show you a good time.
Let me show you a good time.
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction.
A real big spender,
Good lookin', so refined.
Say, wouldn't you like to know
What's goin on in my mind?
So let me get to the point.
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see.
Hey big spender,
Hey big spender,
Hey big spender,

Mmmmmm, you talk about you and only you
and the things that you do for you.
You say you're not a lean cuisine.
So I wanna see whatcha got on the menu.
Now, if you think you're the man the only man
with an exterior you feel is superior,
just give Miss B a little peek
and see if you really can deliver.
Your tendencies are short, my expectations are long.
And as I see it now, there's not much to go on.
It seems you dug a hole that you can't crawl out.
Now I truly see what you're all about.
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear,
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair.
Don't brag about your body, baby,
and say that you're packin' a lot,
'cause all I see besides your big feet
is that you got big socks.
Let's just say that there's something lackin'.
A flea shouldn't have the nerve to be braggin'.
So pack up your little gift and get to steppin'.
Return it back and put it in the kiddie section.
Full figured in a place that can deliver?
Ha ha, not from what I've seen.
I can't trace what's below your waist.
There's too much space to be inside those jeans.
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear,
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair.
Don't brag about your body, baby,
and say that you're packin' a lot,
'cause all I see besides your big feet
is that you got big socks.
Bye bye, baby, bye bye.
It's time to wave the white flag
now that the kitten has been let out the bag.
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear,
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair.
Don't brag about your body, baby,
and say that you're packin' a lot,
'cause all I see besides your big feet
is that you got big socks.
Don't brag about the diamond rings

Don't brag about your body, baby,

'cause all I see besides your big feet

Now write this down!
I'll never be your beast of burden.
My back is broad, but it's a' hurtin'.
All I want is for you to make love to me.
I'll never be your beast of burden.
I walk for miles, my feet are hurtin'.
All I want is for you to make love to me.
What's the matter with me?
Ain't I hot enough? Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I rich enough? I'm not too blind to see. Ohh, ohhh.
I'll never be your beast of burden.
So let's go home and draw the curtains.
Put some music on the radio.
C'mon, baby, make some love to me.
Oh, what's the matter with me?
Ain't I hot enough? Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I rich enough? I'm not too blind to see. Ohh, ohhh.
My little sister is a pretty pretty girl.
My little sister is a pretty pretty girl.
She loves to ride. She loves to crawl.
They love to take her out behind the garden wall.
And when they're done they just throw her away.
And she don't have an awful lot to say.
It hurts her so bad to come to the end.
I re, I remember all the times she spent sayin', "Please!"
Ain't I hot enough? Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I rich enough? I'm not too blind to see. Ohh, ohhh.
Ohh. Ohhhh.
I'll never be your beast of burden.
My back is broad, baby, but it's a' hurtin'.
And all I want is you to make love to me.
What's the matter, what's the matter with me?
Ain't I hot enough? Oooh, yeah, ain't I rough enough?

Baby, one thing more:
If you're gonna be my man,

You'll never get away from me.
You can climb the tallest tree.
I'll be there somehow.
True, you could say, "Hey, here's your hat."
But a little thing like that
couldn't stop me now.
I couldn't get away from you,
even if you told me to,
so go on and try.
Just try and you're gonna see
how you're gonna not at all
get away from me.
Rose, I love you, but don't count your chickens.
Come dance with me.
I warn you that I'm no Boy Scout.
Relax awhile, come dance with me.
So don't think that I'm easy pickin'.
The music's so nice.
Rose, 'cause I just may some day pick up and pack out.
Oh, no you won't. No, not a chance.
No arguments, shut up and dance.
You'll never get away from me.
You can climb the tallest tree.
I'll be there somehow.
True, you could say, "Hey, here's your hat."
But a little
thing like that
couldn't stop me now.
I couldn't get away from you,
even if I wanted to.
Well, go on and try.
Just try
Ah, Rose.
and you're gonna see
Ah, Rose
how you're gonna not at all

I saw her today at the reception.
She had a glass of wine in her hand.
She said, "Well, now I have to go meet my connection."
At her feet was a footloose man.
I heard her say,
"You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want,
but if you try sometimes, you just might find,
surely you will find you get what you need.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,

Every time I touch you
my heart skips a beat.
Every time I kiss you
I feel love from my head to my feet.
Somethin' deep within me, baby,
sayin' you should be mine.
Don't you know, baby, somewhere
I got to, I got to draw the line?
Tell me, baby, whose side are you on?
Are you wih me, or am I all alone?
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, baby,
oh, where you been so long?
Since I need you,
oh, won't you please come ho-ome?
And every mornin' I wake up,
can't hide my tears.
After all the lovin', baby,
we've had through the years.
It's a lonely season, baby,
for you to leave, leave with no reason, babe.
I just can't help believin'
this time you're really, really, really leavin'.
Whoa, baby, whose side are you on?
Are you with me, or am I all alone?
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, baby,
oh, where you been, where ya,
where have you been so long?
Since I need you, woo, come on home!
Whoa, baby, whose side are you on?
Since I need you, oh-oo-oh-ho!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, baby,
where you been, where you been,
where you been so g-ddamn long?
Since I need you,
whoa, honey, honey, come home!

He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
where everyone's his boss,
and he's lost in an angry land.
He's a little man.
But then he comes uptown
each evening to my tentament.
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent.
And when he's there with me
he can see that he's everything.
The man is tall, he don't crawl. He's a king.
Downtown he's just one of a million guys.
He don't get no breaks,
and he takes all they got to give
'cause he's got to live.
But then he comes uptown
where he can hold his head up high.
And uptown he knows I'm gonna be standing by.
And when I take his hand,
there's no man who can put him down, down, down.
Oh, the world's so sweet at his feet when he's uptown.
Whoa-oo-oh-whoa.
When he's uptown.
Whoa-oo-whoa-oo-whoa-oh-oh.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't!
Met him on a monday and my heart stood still.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Somebody told me that his name was Bill.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Whoa, my heart stood still.
Yeah, his name was Bill.
And when he walked me home,
da doo run run run da doo run run.
He knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
He looked kind of quiet, but my, oh my.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Oh, he caught my eye.
My, my, my, my, oh my.
And when he walked me home,
da doo run run run da doo run run.
Here we go!
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da do run run, hey!
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run.
Run-a-run-a-run, run-a-run-a-run.

"How ya doin' girls? Long time, no see.
Listen, I've been to the doctor lately.
Honey, I just spent forty dollars to hear that from that guy?"
My analyst told me
that I was right out of my head.
The way he described it he said,
"You'd be better off dead
than alive."
I didn't listen to his jive.
I knew all along he was all wrong,
and I knew that he thought I was crazy,
but you know I'm not. Oh, no.
My analyst told me
that I was right out of my head.
He said I need treatment.
But I'm not that easily led.
He said I was the type that was most inclined
when out of his sight
to be out of my mind.
And he thought I was nuts.
No more if's or and's or but's.
Oh, no.
They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
with all my crazy ideas.
But I knew what was happenin',
I knew I was a genius.
What's so strange when you know that
you're a wizard at three?
I said, "Baby, this is meant for me, me, me, me."
I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight.
That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night.
My parent's got frantic, didn't know what to do.
But I had saw some crazy things
before I came to.
Now, do you think I was crazy?
I may have been only three but I was swingin'.
They all laughed at A. Graham Bell,
they all laughed at Edison,
and also at Einstein.
So why should I feel sorry if they just
didn't understand the reasoning and the logic
that went on in my head.
I had a brain, it was insane.
So I just let them laugh at me
when I refused to ride on all those double-decker buses
all because there was no driver on the top.
Aaaaaaah.
"Did you ever hear a story like that in your life?
Honey, that chick is bananas. Do you hear?
Bananas. Oh, waiter, bring me another banana dacquari, would ya?"
Ba, ba, ba, ba!
"Oh, here she comes again."
Badada, badada, badada. Wo!
My analyst told me
that I was right out of my head.
But I said, "Doctor,
I think that it's you instead.
'Cause I got a thing that's so unique and new,
it proves that I got the last laugh on you.
'Cause instead of one head, ooh, I got two.
And you know two heads are better than one."

Wherever we go, whatever we do,
we're gonna go through it together.
We may not go far, but sure as a star,
wherever we are, it's together.
Wherever I go I know he goes.
Wherever I go I know she goes.
No fits, no fights, no feuds
and no egos, Amigos, together!
Through thick and through thin,
all out or all in.
And whether it's win, place or show.
With you for me and me for you,
we'll muddle through whatever we do.
Together, wherever we go.
Wherever we go, whatever we do,
we're gonna go through it together.
Wherever we sleep, if prices are steep,
We'll always sleep cheaper together.
Whatever the boat I row, you row.
A duo
Whatever the row I hoe, you hoe.
A trio.
And any I. O. U., I owe you-oh's?
Who, me-oh? No, you-oh.
No, we-oh.
Together!
We all take the bow
Including the cow,
All:] though business is lousy and slow.
With Herbie's vim, Louise's verve,
Now all we need is someone with nerve.
Together
Together
Wherever
Wherever
Together, wherever,
Together, wherever we go.
We go in a group,
We tour in a troupe.
We land in the soup, but we know
the things we do, we do by threes.
A perfect team.
No, this way, Louise!
Together
Together
Wherever
Wherever

I see so many golden women;
when they walk their feet don't touch the ground.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
But me, I'm always out of rhythm.
My needs too demanding, too proud.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
I didn't want you to see me like this.
The light of the dawn can be cruel.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.
How I want to deserve you.
I would die for you.
Could you ever love me that much?
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
Yes, you tell me this,
and I want to believe that it's true.
Aah, how I want, how I want to deserve you.
I didn't want you to see me like this.
I'm weak and I fight like a fool.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.
How I want to deserve you.
If I could be your angel
I'd trade in my arms for some wings
to keep you close to me.
And if I could trade my voice
for the silence I know that you need.
Aaaah, how I want, how I want to deserve you.
I didn't want you to see me like this.
So frightened of losing so soon.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I've caught our love in a grip,
just tell me and I'll shake it loose.
How I want to deserve you.
Oh, na na na na na.
Oh, ohhhhh.
How I want to deserve you.
Na na na na na na na.
Whoa, ohhhhh.
How I want to deserve you.
Oh, I want to deserve you.

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger an endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower and you, it's only seed
It's the heart, afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow

I'll bet you think you can just use her the way
you used to do. I've got news for you.
Your fuse is out. The girl is on to you.
I'll bet you think you can abuse her and say
you love her too. I remember pain
you put her through.
But the girl is on to you.
She's grown much wiser than you realize.
She will surprise you.
No more paying for your lies.
And I'll bet you think you can confuse her. But, hey,
the loser is you. She sees through your eyes.
You'll soon surmise.
The girl is on to you.
She's grown much wiser than you realize.
She will surprise you.
No more paying for your lies.
Oh, and I'll bet you think
you can confuse her, but, hey,
the loser is you. She sees through your eyes.
You'll soon surmise. The girl is on to you.
She sees through your eyes.
You'll soon surmise.
The girl is on to you.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
Oooh. The girl is on to you.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
Now she's gone, she's gone, she's gone. Oooh.
I'll bet you think
she'll come running back to you,
just like she used to do.
But the girl is awful strong.
That's why the girl is gone, gone, gone, gone,

You ask me what I want.
You ask me what I need.
It's nothing you can buy.
My heart's not ruled by greed.
I don't love a diamond.
Diamond's you see through.
I want you to hold me.
I want you to be true.
Give me the gift of love.
Look me in the eyes.
Say I'm the one you're dreamin' of.
That'd be the best surprise.
Give me the gift of your sweet love
in the light of the day,
in the dark of night.
Like the colors of the sun,
the feelings in your heart.
It's all I want from you.
And when the sky is dark
I'll have you beside me.
Who could ask for more?
I'll just wear a smile
when you walk in the door.
Give me the gift of love.
Look me in the eyes.
Say I'm the one you're dreamin' of.
That'd be the best surprise.
Give me the gift of your sweet love
in the light of the day,
in the dark of night.
Give me the gift of love.
Look me in the eyes.
Say I'm the one you're dreamin' of.
That'd be the best surprise.
Give me the gift of your sweet love
in the light of the day,
in the dark of night.
Give me the gift of love.
Look me in the eyes.
Say I'm the one.
That'd be the best surprise.
Give me the gift of your sweet love
in the light of the day,
in the dark of night.

"Here she is, direct from the convent, Miss Dixie Leonard."
I was alone on a shelf
in a world by myself.
Oh, where could my Prince Charming be?
But a man came along,
made my life like a song,
and taught me these words of ecstasy,
tenderly.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
and some muggin' and some teasin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some pettin' and some spoonin'
and some happy honeymoonin'
and some stuff like that there.
I used to think that love
was just a lot o' rubbish;
a mess o' cabbage, a mess o' cabbage.
But now my attitude
is wholly lovey dovish,
and baby, you, you've done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin'
and some missin' and some mopin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff like that there.
And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
and some muggin' and some teasin'
and some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff,
I want some stuff like that there.
I used to think romance was bunk,
a double mickey for the ickey.
But all at once my heart was sunk,
and baby, you, you done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin'
and some missin' and some mopin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff like that there.
And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin', squeezin',
muggin', teasin' and some stuff,
stuff like that there!

Where did you go when things went wrong, baby?
Who did you run to?
Find a shoulder to lay your head upon.
Baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?
But, oh, no. I can't believe you're leaving me, yeah.
Stay with me, baby.
I'm beggin' you to stay with me, baby.
Yeah, stay with me, baby.
I can't go on.
Who did you touch when you needed tenderness, baby?
I gave you so much,
and in return I found happiness.
Baby, what could I do?
Maybe I was too good, too good to you.
Ohh, no, I can't believe you're leavin' me.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, stay with me, baby.
Why don't you, why don't you just stay with me, baby?
Yeah, stay with me, baby.
Remember, you said you always gonna love me.
Remember, you said you'd never ever leave me.
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, stay with me, baby, baby, baby.
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't go, oh, on.
"Well, I'm a young woman, and I could get plenty of men.
But honey, keepin' 'em's the hard part, ain't it?
Yeah. Sometimes, sometimes I find I try so hard."
Maybe this time I should be the one to go away.
'Cause honey, ain't it my turn to have somebody
grab hold of me and say,
"No! Don't go! You can't go!"
Oh! Stay, stay with me, baby.
I'm begging you, stay with me.
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, stay with me, baby.
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby.

Some people's lives run down like clocks.
One day they stop, and that's all they've got.
Some lives wear out like old tennis shoes
no one can use. Well, It's sad but it's true.
Didn't anybody tell them?
Didn't anybody see?
Didn't anybody love them
like you love me?
Some people's lives fade like their dreams,
too tired to rise, too tired to sleep.
Some people laugh when they need to cry,
and they never know why.
Didn't anybody tell them
that's not how it used to be?
Didn't anybody love them
like you love me?
Some people ask if the tears have to fall.
Then why take your chances? Why bother at all?
And some people's lives are as cold as their lips.
They just need to be kissed.
Doesn't anybody tell them?
Doesn't anybody see?
Doesn't anybody love them
like you love me?

Drive me home silver eagle.
Drive me away from last night's news.
Empty beds, crowds of people.
Oh, come on, white girl, sing the blues.
Warm mister, hold me like you love me.
Why don't you make me
feel real good for free?
And if free don't mean for nothin',
let's just say this one's on me, yeah!
You know I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
I bought these devil chains.
My baby wants me home. Can't refuse him.
Sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
It's time to take that train.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.
Whoa, I need a short vacation,
restin' in my baby's arms.
But the road goes on
forever, forever, forever.
It keeps on going,
but I'm gone, gone, gone.
Sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
Bought these devil chains.
Whoa, baby wants me home. Can't refuse him.
I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
It's time to take that train.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.
Did you like it?
Was it good?
Don't it make you want to cry-hi-hi?
Did you like it?
Oh! Am I good?
Is it worth another try-y-y?
AAAAAAA!!!!
Sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
It's time to take that train.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.
The one that goes from heaven

Don't start talking the poetry, darlin'.
That's not what I wanna hear tonight.
I'm just a girl with moonlight in my eyes.
I want a soda and a souvenir.
Yes, I'm just a girl with moonlight in my eyes.
Don't start whispering the sweet things, darlin'.
Your words are dangerously clear tonight.
I'm just a girl with moonlight in my eyes.
I want a soda and a souvenir.
Just a girl with moonlight in my eyes.
Watch what you say, I'll remember it always.
It's so easy for me to fall.
If only you knew, you might not say anything at all.
And I'm just a girl with moonlight in my eyes.
Don't start singin' them love songs, darlin'.
I believe every word that I hear tonight.
I'm a girl with moonlight in my eyes.
I want a soda and a souvenir.
Yes, I'm just a girl with moonlight in my eyes.

Honey, you are my shining star.
Don't you go away.
I wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day. Yes I do.
So many have tried,
tried to find a love like yours and mine. Ohhh-whoa.
But don't they realize how you hypnotize?
Make me love you more each time. Ohhh-whoa.
Honey, I'll never leave you lonely, yeah.
Give my love to you only, yeah.
To you only, to you only.
Oh honey, you are my shining star.
Don't you go away.
Yeah, I wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day. Yeah.
It feels so good
when we're lying next to each other,
lost in love, lost in love,
drifting along on a cloud of love.
Ooh, baby when we touch I love you so much.
You're all I ever dreamed of. Ohhh-whoa.
Hone, I'll never leave you lonely, yeah.
Mmm, give my love to you only, yeah.
To you only, to you only.
Oh honey, you, you are, you are my shining star.
Don't you go away, no.
I wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day. Mmmm.
It feels so good, it feels so good
when we're lying here
lost in love, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love.
Oh baby, when we touch I love you so much.
You, you're all I ever dreamed of.
In spite of all we know, how little we know.
In spite of all they say, how little we see.
I only know, you and me together forever.
You are my shining star, mmm, yes you are.
Shine on, shine on. Keep on shining on.

Bobby's driving through the city tonight,
through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car.
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine.
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Johnny's taking care of things for a while,
and his style is so right for troubadours.
They caught him running with his face to the door,
now he won't be my fast gun anymore.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Moving on is a chance that you take
everytime you try to stay together.
whoa-oa-ho-ho-hoo.
Say a word out of line
and you find that the friends you had are gone forever, forever.
So many faces in and out of my life.
Some will last,
some will just be now and then.
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes.
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Yeah, say goodbye.
Yeah, say goodbye.
Yeah, he's gotta say goodbye.
He's gotta say goodbye.
He's gotta say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Yeah, say goodbye,
say goodbye, say goodbye.
You gotta say goodbye.

Scrapbooks full of me in the background.
Give 'em love and what does it get ya?

One quick look as each of 'em leaves you.
All your life and what does it get ya?
Thanks a lot and out with the garbage,
They take bows and you're battin' zero.
I had a dream.
I dreamed it for you, June.
It wasn't for me, Herbie.
And if it wasn't for me
then where would you be,
Miss Gypsy Rose Lee?
Well, someone tell me, when is it my turn?
Don't I get a dream for myself?
Starting now it's gonna be my turn.
Gangway, world, get off of my runway!
Starting now I bat a thousand!
This time, boys, I'm taking the bows and
everything's coming up Rose!
Everything's coming up roses!
Everything's coming up roses
this time for me!
For me! For me! For me! For me! For me!

Come on down lightning.
Come on down thunder.
Come on down raindrops.
Don't leave me to wonder.
Life ain't worth loving,
love ain't worth having
without you.
Come on down heartache.
Come on down pain.
Come on down teardrops,
falling like rain.
Life ain't worth loving,
love ain't worth having
without you.
Come on down hurting.
Whoa, that's for certain.
Whoa-o-oh, coming down blind.
Don't it feel like it's skirtin',
and pouring down rain forever more?
Coming down harder than ever before.
Wahhh, blow on in north wind,
blow in the cold.
Losin' my senses;
losin' control.
Whoa, need my baby so bad.
I go crazy without you.
Coming down heavy.
Coming down light.
Coming down daytime.
Coming down all night.
Need my baby so bad.
I go crazy.
Life ain't worth livin',
love ain't worth havin'
without you.
Rainin' down rain,
pourin' down pain

My baby jumped up this morning,
'n' sat on the side of the bed.
He said, "I'm leaving you, baby."
And this is just what I said.
I said, "I can't make you stay if you want to go,
but it's high time, baby, that you should know,
one monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
So, if you still wanna go, go ahead."
And I mean every word I said.
My baby thought I was jivin'
and he went right out the door.
He left me about three in the morning.
I got me a man at four.
Some women cry when their men bleed 'em
dry, long and slow,
but I found out somethin' a long time ago.
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
So if he gets too big for his pants
you better spring that new one and give him a chance.
I used to be chicken hearted;
cry when he'd walk out the door,
'cause I was just young and stupid.
Ha! Ain't like that no more.
'Cause I had a hard way to go,
but I learned the score.
And I'm here to tell you,
and I should know,
one monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
Let him do anything he choose.
There's a million men who can fill his shoes.
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
You can tell him I told you so.

Okay, and once again, here's Bette Midler
{"Well, you know, when they asked me to come on and
I can't believe it, the last, the last guest
The last fool Mr. Carson will have to suffer gladly
You are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, well he is"}
Quarter to three
There's no one in the place except you and me
So set 'em up, Joe
Got a little story, I think you should know
We're drinkin', my friend
To the end of a sweet episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Got the routine
So drop another nickel in the machine
Oh, gee, I'm feelin' so bad
Wish you'd make the music so dreamy and sad
You could tell me a lot
But it's not in a gentleman's code
Let's make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You may not know it but buddy you're a kind of poet
And you've had a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you always listen to me
Until it's talked away
Well, that's how it goes
And John I know you're getting anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind me, bending your ear
For all of the years
For the laughs, for the tears
For the class that you showed
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long, long road

She called up the doctor
to see what's the matter.
He said, "Come on over."
I said, "Do I have to?"
My knees started aching,
my wrists started shakin'
when the doctor said to me,
Whoa, he said
Oh my my, oh my my,
can you boogie? Can you slide?
Oh my my, oh my my,
you can boogie if you try.
Oh my my, oh my my,
you know it's guaranteed to keep you alive.
Whoa, no no no no no!
Now don't make me go!
The head nurse, she blew in
just like a tornado.
When they started dancin'
I jumped off the table.
I felt myself reeling,
and as I was healing,
this is what he said to me,
Ow! Oh my my, oh my my,
can you boogie? Can you slide?
Oh my my, oh my my,
you can boogie if you try.
Oh my my, oh my my,
you know it's guaranteed to keep you alive.
Can you boogie?
Whoa, my my my my mu mu my mu mu my mu mu my my my my
Can I boogie? Can I boogie? Can I boogie?
Can I boogie woogie?
Can you boogie?
Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can.
Can you boogie?
Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can.
Can you boogie?
Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can.
"Can I boogie?
Can I boogie?

I am the captain and this is my shrine.
Lord of the manor. See what I leave behind.
River in flames, cities on fire.
Yes, I'm a relic trapped in the wire.
Hydrogen fuel, it burns so clean,
throbs in the veins; a mother lovin' machine.
She is my wife. Her mechanical heart
constantly serving 'til death do us part.
Now a glorious war draws to a close.
The yellow winds blow. And I have to know.
Oh industry, whatever will become of me?
Soon the cruel rains will start.
Is it true we must part company?
Oh industry, whatever will become of me?
What have I ever done?
Where did I go wrong?
Joined at the hip; pain, hunger and I,
leave our gift to the world 'neath the phosphorous sky.
A labor of love is the truest of all.
But will I be forsaken after the fall?
Now a glorious war draws to a close.
The yellow winds blow. And I have to know.
Oh industry, whatever will become of me?
Nothing after the flood but the fire and the mud's prophecy.
Oh industry, whatever will become of me?
Of me?
Industry, charity, faith, hope.
Industry, charity, faith, hope.
Industry, charity, faith, hope.
Industry, charity, faith, hope.

Time: 2:15, the AM.
Place: Ronardo's "Boom-Boom-Room" on South Street.
I'm a hot blonde and it was a cold night.
This is my story. I ain't ashamed to tell it.
I was hungry, tired and lookin' for love.
I was just a pilgrim in the hot pursuit of love.
Wandered from disco to disco,
that's all my life was.
Suddenly you danced up against me.
It felt warm and smooth.
I knew in an instant
that you were my moment of darkest truth.
Oh, my knight in black leather,
hold me tight and love me forever.
Rings on your fingers, love in your heart.
Knight in black leather, we'll never part.
Only you can shine the light
on the dark side of my mind.
And your evil sweetness
leaves a trail of lovers behind.
When you crush me to your heart
I feel just like a queen.
I'm a willing victim.
Tell me, all my life where have you been?
Oh, my knight in black leather,
hold me tight and love me forever.
Rings on your fingers, love in your heart.
Knight in black leather, we'll never part, haaa.
Oh, my knight in black leather,
take me down and love me forever.
Walk on through the halls of my soul.
Knight in black leather.
And you've got control.
Oh, don't ya know, baby?
You're my knight!
C'mon and love me forever!
Rings on your fingers, love on demand.
Knight in black leather,
oh, you've got command.
And how I love ya, baby.
Whoa, my knight!
Sweet, sweet knight!
You know that I love you, I love you, love you!
We'll never pa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aart!
(We're the knights in black leather,
and we will chain you down
and love you forever.
Walk on through the halls of your soul.
Yeah, the knights inblack leather.
We're in controoooool!)
You know he smells just like a brand new car,
'cause everything he owns is leather!
A leather shirt, leather hat,
leather gloves, leather spats,
leather chaps, leather pants,
leather socks, leather cap,
leather coat! leather wrap!
leather neck! leather ring!
LEATHER THING!!!!!!!
We'll never pa-aa-aa-aart!
Oh, my knight in black leather!
Take us down! Love me honey, come on, love me!
You got to hold me, hold me!
We'll never pa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aart!

Your hair's so fair, your eye's so dark.
I love you hard as my life.
You pass me by as though I were a stone.
You cut me like a knife.
Boy, I do. I got my eye on you.
Got my eye on you.
I'm walking down by the water's edge.
Feel like I'm coming apart.
I'm so afraid of this jealous rage
that's taken hold of my heart.
And, boy, I do. I got my eye on you.
Boy, I do. I got my eye on you.
Boy! Now I, I've reached the end,
end of the line.
Baby, here's a kiss
to remember me by!
Boy, I do. I got my eye on you.
My eye on you.
I had a dream I was dressed in white.
The witness swears on the stand.
They caught me cryin' in the street last night.
The gun was still in my hand.
And, Boy, I do. I got my eye on you.
Boy, I do. I got my eye on you.
Got my eye on you!
My eye on you!
My eye on you.
My eye on you.
My eye on you.
My eye on you.
My eye on you.
My eye on you.
My eye on you.
Yes, I do, babe.

Why this feeling? Why this glow?
Why the thrill when you say hello?
It's a strange and tender magic you do.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
Why this trembling when you speak?
Why this joy when you touch my cheek?
I must tell you what my heart knows is true.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
And why this longing to know your charms?
To spend forever here in your arms?
Oh, there's much more I could say,
But the words keep slipping away,
And I'm left with one point of view.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
One more thing, then I'm through.
Mister Wonderful,
Mister Wonderful,

For all I've been blessed with in this life,
there was an emptiness in me.
I was imprisoned by the power of gold.
With one kind touch you set me free.
Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.
For every mountain I have climbed,
every raging river crossed,
you were the treasure that I longed to find.
Without your love I would be lost.
Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.
I know that I won't live forever,
but forever I'll be loving you.
Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.

Have an eggroll, Mr. Goldstone.
Have a napkin, have a chopstick, have a chair.
Have a spare rib, Mr. Goldstone.
Any spare that I can spare I'll be glad to share!
Have a dish, have a fork, have a fish, have a pork.
Put your feet up. Feel at home.
Have a smoke, have a Coke.
Would you like to hear a joke?
I'll have June recite a poem!
Have a leechie, Mr. Goldstone.
Tell me any little thing that I can do.
Ginger peachy, Mr. Goldstone.
Have a kumquat, have two!
Everybody give a cheer.
Santa Claus is sitting here.
Mr. Goldstone I love you!
Have a Goldstone, Mr. Eggroll.
Tell me any little thing that I can do.
Have some fried rice, Mr. Soy Sauce.
Have a cookie, have a few!
What's the matter, Mr. G?
Have another pot of tea.
Mr. Goldstone I love you!
There are good stones and bad stones
and curbstones and gladstones
and touchstones and such stones as them.
There are big stones and small stones
and grind stones and gall stones,
but Goldstone is a gem!
There are milestones, there are mill stones.
There's a cherry, there's a yellow, there's a blue.
But we don't want any old stone,
only Goldstone will do!
Moon stones, sun stones.
We all scream for one stone.
Mr. Goldstone we love you!

"Oh, hi! A-heh heh! Is Miss Otis in?"
"Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today."
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, mmmmmm.
And she's sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down at lover's lane
she strayed, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found
that her dream of love was gone, madam,
she ran to the man
who had lead her so far astray.
And from under her velvet gown
she drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her
and dragged her from the jail, madam,
they strung her up
on the willow across the way.
And the moment before she died
she lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch.

May we entertain you?
May we see you smile?
I will do some kicks
I will do some tricks
(Sing out, Louise, sing out)
I'll tell you a story
I'll dance when she's done
(You're behind, Louise, catch up baby, catch up)
By the time we're through entertaining you

A boy went back to Napoli,
because he missed the scenery,
the native dancers and the charming songs.
But wait a minute, something's wrong.

Oooooh
Oooooh
Lookin' back over my years
I guess I've shed some tears.
Told myself time and again
this time I'm gonna win.
But another fight. Things ain't right.
I'm losing again.
It takes a fool to lose twice
and start all over again.
I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Let it go, baby.
I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO. Ohh, yeah.
I tried to take control of the love.
He took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.
Takin' the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
And I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.
So I think I gotta
gotta let it go
I gotta let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Oh, yes it does, yes it does.
I think I gotta
gotta let it go
Mmmmmmm.

Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Boy, whatcha want me to do? Can't stand up to you.
No no no no.
I try to take control of the love.
It took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.
Taking the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
Then I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.
I think I better
better let it go
I better let him go.

Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Yeah, I better

I gotta let him go.

Another love, love TKO.
Ooohhhh, boy you got me turned around and around and around.
Around and around.
Everybody's got to cry sometime.
That's what they say. I heard them say.
Everybody's gonna cry sometime.
Mama says that they did, that they did.

"Doctor Long John. My dreams are full of Doctor Long John."
I got a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
I have a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
His name is Doctor Long John
and he answers every call.
You know, I went to Long John's office.
I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing me."
I went to Long John's office.
I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing."
He said, "Don't worry, baby.
It's just your cavity needs a little filling."
He took out his trusty drill.
Told me to open wide.
He said he wouldn't hurt me,
but he filled my whole inside.
Long John, Long John, don't you ever go away. No.
'Cause you thrill me when you drill me,
and I don't need no novocain today.
Oh, when he got done drilin' he said,
"Now, Miss Midler, that is going to cost you ten."
"I was prepared to pay twenty"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, when he got done drillin' he said,
"Baby, that's gonna cost you ten.
But if it ever starts in to throbbing,
come back and see old Long John
again and again and again and again and again.
Oh, yeah. Yow!
"Long John.
I sold my heart to Doctor Long John and I will never, never be the same.

Little lamb, little lamb
My birthday is here at last
Little lamb, little lamb
My birthday goes by so fast
Little bear, little bear
You sit on my right, right there
Little hen, little hen
What game should we play and when?
Little cat, little cat
Oh, why do you look so blue?
Did somebody paint you like that
Or is your birthday too?
Little fish, little fish
Do you think I'll get my wish?
Little lamb, little lamb
I wonder how old I am
I wonder how old I am

Oh, to have you walking so near.
You're an angel, my dear,
and you ease my mind.
I'll not kiss or hold you, my dear.
Would you let me just follow behind.
Now, I have loved me many fine men.
Oh, so many fine men
had a bed to share.
I would trade these lovers gladly, my friend,
for a glimpse of you standing there.
How will I know when I reach heaven's door?
In your eyes I've seen it before.
If I never, never, never, never see you again,
though the path it may bend
and be filled with strife;
though the years may come and go without end,
I will think of you all of my life.
How will I know when I reach heaven's door?
In your eyes I've seen heaven before.
Oh, to have you walking so near.
You're an angel, my dear,
and you ease my mind.
I'll not kiss and hold you, my dear.
Would you let me just follow behind?
Hmm, hmmmm. Mm hmmm, mm hmmm.

We'll have a real good time

I want your spirits to climb
Let me entertain you

"Hey, Betty? Is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?"
"Uh huh."
"Oh! Must be nice riding on that motorcycle after school, huh?"
"Uh huh."
"Is he picking you up after school today?"
"Unh uh!"
"Well, where'd ya meet him?"
I met him at the candy store.
He turned around and smiled at me.
Ya get the picture? (Yes, we see)
That's when I fell for the leader of the pack.
My folks were always puttin' him down.
Down! Down!
They said he came from the wrong side of town.
They told me that he was bad,
but I knew that he was sad.
And thats why I fell for the leader of the pack.
One day my dad said, "Find someone new."
New! New!
I had to tell my Jimmy that,
whoa, we were through.
He stood up and then he asked me why.
But all I could do was cry.
I'm sorry I hurt you,
the leader of the pack.
He sort of smiled and he kissed me goodbye.
The tears were beginning to show.
And as he drove away from me
on that rainy, rainy night,
I begged him to go slow.
But whether he heard me
I'll never, never, never, never know!
Look out now, now, look out!
Whoa oh no no no! Whoa no no no! No! No!
I felt so helpless! What could I do-wo-wo-wo-wo?
The only, only love that we had was through.
At school they all stop and stare.
I can't hide the tears.
I just don't care!
I will never forget you,
the leader of the pack!
Whoa-oo-woh! Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!
The leader of the pack is,
now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is,
now he's gone!
The leader of the pack is, whoa gone!
Gone gone gone!
Gone gone gone!

You know I been thinkin'
Lord, about the hard sides of rock and roll.
They say you can't make no money,
ooh, unless you're the Rolling Stones.
That put a chip on my shoulder;
gave me the fire in my in my blood.
Children of the Earth,
listen what I say.
You made rock and roll
what it is today.
And no two-bit fascist
is gonna shoot us down.
So come on children,
bring your guns to town.
Shoot 'em down!
We can rock and roll all night long.
And I wanna see you out there feelin' strong.
And I wanna give you, ooh, the shot you need.
I'll be your doctor. You just call on me.
Call on me, baby, baby.
Call on me, call on me, baby.
Keep on rockin'.
Keep on rockin'.

Each day through my window
I watch him as he passes by.
I say to myself, "What an incredible guy."
To have a love like that
must surely be a dream come true.
Out of all the women in the world,
he belongs to only you.
But it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
Soon we'll be married
and raise a family.
A cozy little home out in the country
with two kids or three.
I tell you, I can visualize it all.
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems.
Ohh, but it was just my imagination, once again
runnin' away with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
Every night on my knees I pray:
Dear Lord, hear my plea.
Don't ever let another take his love from me
or I will surely, surely die.
His love is heavenly.
When his arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody.
But in reality
he doesn't even know me.
Once again
runnin' away with me.
Ohh, just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
running away with me.
Just my imagination

"I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms
and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a fire?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle, I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a circus?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"Then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love. Then one day, he went away.
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't.
And when I didn't, I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to love?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
"I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
'If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?'
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
I'll be saying to myself..."
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball

If Momma was married, we'd live in a house
As private as private can be
Just Momma, three ducks, five canaries, a mouse
Two monkeys, one father, six turtles and me
If Momma was married
If Momma was married, I'd jump in the air
And give all my toe shoes to you
I'd get all those hair ribbons out of my hair
And once and for all, I'd get Momma out too
If Momma was married
Momma get out your white dress
You've done it before without much success
Momma, Godspeed and God bless
We're not keeping score, what's one more or less?
Oh, Momma, say yes
And waltz down the hall while you may
I'll gladly support you, I'll even escort you
And I'd gladly give you away
Oh, Momma, get married today
If Momma was married there wouldn't be anymore
'Let's me entertain you', 'Let me make you smile'
'I will do some kicks', 'I would do some tricks'
Sing out, Louise, smile, baby
Momma, please take our advice
We aren't The Lunts, I'm not Fanny Brice
Momma, we'll buy you the rice
If only this once you wouldn't think twice
It could be so nice if Momma got married to stay
But Momma gets married and married and married
And never gets carried away

"Oh man, do you believe that chick?
She has got no idea what's happening, no idea.
I am the one who's plugged in around here.
That's why they call me The High Priestess of Cool! Ha ha!
See, I'm hip. I'm no square.
I'm alert, I'm awake, I'm aware.
I am always on the scene.
Makin' the rounds, diggin' the sounds.
I read People Magazine.
'Cuz I'm hip.
Like, dig! I'm in step.
When it was hip to be hep, I was hep.
I don't blow but I'm a fan.
Look at me swing. Ring a ding ding.
I even call my girlfriend "man,"
'cuz I'm hip.
Every Saturday night
with my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on
I'm gettin' my kicks
diggin' arty French flicks with my shades on.
I'm too much. I'm a gas.
I am anything but middle class.
When I hang around the band,
poppin' my thumbs, diggin' the drums,
sqaures don't seem to understand
why I flip. They're not hip like I'm hip.
scatting
I'm hip!
scatting
I'm on top of every trend.
Look at me go. Vo-dee-o-do.
Sammy Davis knew my friend.
I'm hip, but not weird.
Like, you notice, I don't wear a beard.
Beards were in but now they're out.
They had they're day. Now they're passe.
Just ask me if you're in doubt,
'cuz I'm hip.
Now I'm deep into Zen
meditation and macrobiotics,
and as soon as I can
I intend to get into narcotics.
'Cuz I'm cool as a cuke.
I'm a cat, I'm a card, I'm a kook, kook, kook.
I get so much out of life.
Really, I do. Skoo ba dee boo.
One more time play "Mack the Knife."
Let 'er rip. I may flip, but I'm hip.

"That's it, baby! When you got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!"
"This is the Divine Miss M
and I'm here to share with you some rare
and stimulating insight into my cosmic fabulosity.
It's really very simple. I smiply believe with all my heart:"
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, so beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
"Go away, little girl," they used to say.
"Hey, you're too fat, baby, you can't play."
"Hold on, miss thing, what you trying to do?
You know you're too wack to be in our school."
Too wack, too smart, too fast, too fine,
too loud, too tough, too too divine.
I said you don't belong. You don't belong.
Too loud, too big, too much to bear,
too bold, too brash, too prone to swear.
I heard that song for much too long.
Ain't this my sun? Ain't this my moon?
Ain't this my world to be who I choose?
Ain't this my song? Ain't this my movie?
Ain't this my world? I know I can do it.
I'm not too short, I'm not too tall,
I'm not too big, I'm not too small.
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
I'm not too white, I'm not too black,
I'm not too this, I'm not too that.
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
It's time to call it what it is. Don't play the naming game.
Become what you were born to be and be it unashamed.
"Go away, little boy," I can hear them say,
"Everybody on the block says they think you're gay.
Hold on, my friend, do you think we're blind?
Take a look at yourself. You're not our kind."
Too black, too white, too short, too tall,
too big, too green, too red, too small.
I said you don't belong. You don't belong.
Too black, too white, too short, too tall,
too blue, too green, too red, too small.
I heard that song for much to long.
Ain't this my sun? Ain't this my moon?
Ain't this my world to be who I choose?
Ain't this my song? Ain't this my movie?
Ain't this my world? I know I can do it.
People always ask me,
"Miss M, how did you get so far
on so little?" Shut up!
Well, I woke up one morning,
flossed my teeth and decided,
"Damn, I'm fierce!" You look good!
You can be just like me! A goddess? Yeah!
Don't just pussy foot around and sit on your assets.
Unleash your ferocity upon an unsuspecting world.
Rise up and repeat after me: "I'm beautiful!"
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful!
Can you say that?
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful!
I don't hear you!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful!
Louder!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful!
Hey!
That's it, baby, when you got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!
Aaaaaah!
Ain't this my sun? My sun! Ain't this my moon? My moon!
Ain't this my world to be who I choose?
Ain't this our song? Ain't this our song?
Ain't this our movie? Ain't this our movie?
Ain't this our world to be who we choose?
I'm not too short, I'm not too tall,
I'm not too big, I'm not too small.
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
I'm not too white, I'm not too black,
I'm not too this, I'm not too that.
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!
Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself!

I can wash forty four pairs of socks
And have 'em hanging out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
'Fore you can count from one to nine
I can slip up a great big dip up of lard
From a drippings can
Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping
Be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
I can rub and scrub
'Til this house is shines just like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car
And powder my nose at the same time
Get all dressed up
Go out swing till 4 A.M and then
Lay down at five, jump 'til 6
And start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
If you come to me sick leave
You know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me, hexed up
You know I'm gonna break the spell
And if you come to me hungry
I'll feed ya full of my grits
If it's loving you want
I can kiss you and give you the shivering fits
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
Say it again
I got a twenty dollar gold piece
Says there's nothing that I can't do
I can make a dress out of feeding sacks
I can make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N

I remember you.
You're the one who made my dreams come true,
a few kisses ago.
I remember you.
You're the one who said, "I love you, too.
I do. Didn't you know?"
I remember, too, a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I shall tell them I remember you.
Was it in Tahiti? Woah, woah, woah, woah.
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago, say, an hour or so,
I recall that I saw your smile.
And I remember, too, a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I will tell them I remember,

I know these streets and these backyards,
this barn that's falling down.
We come to where they're building now
and ride our bikes around.
And you think I'm just a little kid,
some troubles on the way.
Well, I knew this place before you did
is all I've got to say.
I'm only walking
through these streets and all around.
I'm only walking.
I know this town.
We come home through these fields at night
about a million times.
I'd walk the road with my eyes closed
and all the paths besdies.
And I know the boy who broke this fence,
and I know his brother, too.
And they'd never give me half a chance
if I let on to you.
I'm only walking
through these streets and all around.
I'm only walking.
I know this town.
I know this town.
We dam the streams, we raid the shacks,
and hide in boxcars on the tracks.
We know these quarries in our sleep
and where they're cold and where they're deep.
I'll go down to the bowling alley
and buy smokes and Dentyne.
I find some loose change every day
under that Coke machine.
You check me out as you drive by
like there was some big deal.
Well I know so much you'll never find
from there behind the wheel.
I'm only walking
through these streets and all around.
I'm only walking.
I know this town.
I know this town.
I know this town.

You drove into town like the wind.
Hot on the heels of the rain.
And in your eyes all is calm.
That's why they call you Hurricane.
You blow me away.
You blow me away.
Ooh, what a powerful force
howling around in my brain.
Knocking me down with your touch.
Mmm, that's why they call you Hurricane.
You blow me away.
Oh, oh, you blow me away.
Hurricane gonna kill me!
Honey, you sure do thrill me!
Swallow me without a sound.
Hurricane is a-rising,
hot and so surprising.
Forecast warns I'm gonna drown.
Blow me and swell me on down.
You blow me away.
You blow me away!
Ah, ah-mmm, blow me away.
Hurricane gonna kill me!
Ah, honey you sure do thrill me!
Swallow me without a sound.
Hurricane is a-rising,
hot and so surprising!
Forecast warns I'm gonna drown.
Baby, just go on down!
Leave broken hearts in your wake.
I ain't the one to complain, no, no, no!
You blow all the lives that you take.
Give me a ride, won't you Hurricane?
You blow me away.
You blow me away.
Oh, Hurricane, blow me away.
You, only you, blow me away, ahh.
Hurricane is rising, it keeps surprising me.
Spinnin' me around and around.
Don't let me down.
Hurricane is rising, it keeps surprising me.
Hurry, hurry, Hurricane.
Tell me you love me.
He really does love me.
Spinnin' me around and around.
Don't let me down.
Hurricane is rising, it keeps surprising me.
Hurry, hurry, Hurricane.
Baby, you and I sky high!
You and I sky high!
Baby, you and I sky high!
You and I sky high!
Destiny is calling me.

It seem like happiness is just a thing called Joe.
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow.
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by.
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare,
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere.
Troubles fly away and life is easy go.
Does he love me good? That's all I need to know.
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe.

I don't know if you can hear me
Or if you're even there
I don't know if you would listen
To a humble prayer
Yes, I know I'm just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to you
Still I see your face and wonder
Were you once an outcast too
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
God help the outcasts
The poor and down trod
I thought we all were
The children of God
I don't know if there's a reason
Why some are blessed, some not
Why the few you seem to favour
They fear us
Flee us
Try not to see us
God help the outcasts
The tattered the torn
Seeking an answer
To why they were born
Winds of misfortune
Have blown them about
You made the outcasts
Don't cast them out
The poor and unlucky
The weak and the odd
I thought we all were
The children of

And I am all alone.
There is no one here beside me.
And my problems have all gone.
There is no one to deride me.
But you got to have friends.
The feeling's oh so strong.
You got to have friends
to make that day last long.
I had some firends but they're gone,
somethin' came and took them away.
And from the dusk 'til the dawn
here is where I'll stay.
Standing at the end of the road, boys,

Sweetheart, the night is growing old.
Sweetheart, my love is still untold.
A kiss that is never tasted,
forever and ever is wasted.
For all we know we may never meet again.
Before you go, make this moment sweet again.
We won't say good night until the last minute.
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it.
For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. Tomorrow's made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.
For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and we go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. Tomorrow was made for some.

I had a dream, a dream about you, baby.
It's gonna come true, baby.
They think that we're through, but baby,
You'll be swell! You'll be great!
Gonna have the whole world on the plate!
Starting here, starting now,
honey, everything's coming up roses!
Clear the decks! Clear the tracks!
You've got nothing to do but relax.
Blow a kiss. Take a bow.
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Now's your inning. Stand the world on its ear!
Set it spinning! That'll be just the beginning!
Curtain up! Light the lights!
You got nothing to hit but the heights!
You'll be swell. You'll be great.
I can tell. Just you wait.
That lucky star I talk about is due!
Honey, everything's coming up roses for me and for you!
You can do it, all you need is a hand.
We can do it, Mama is gonna see to it!
Curtain up! Light the lights!
We got nothing to hit but the heights!
I can tell, wait and see.
There's the bell! Follow me!
And nothing's gonna stop us 'til we're through!
Honey, everything's coming up roses and daffodils!
Everything's coming up sunshine and Santa Claus!
Everything's gonna be bright lights and lollipops!

Old friend, here we are,
after all the years and tears
and all that we've been through.
It feels so good to see you.
Lookin' back in time,
there've been other friends and other lovers,
but no other one like you.
All my life, no one ever has known me better.
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohhh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
Old friend, there were times
I didn't want to see your face
or hear your name again.
Now those times are far behind me.
It's so good to see your smile.
I'd forgotten how nobody else
could make me smile the way you do.
All this time, you're the one I still want beside me.
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.

She was forty-one, her daddy still called her baby
And everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy
'Cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand
See she's, she's looking for a mysterious dark haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid your eyes upon
But a man of low degree stood right by her side
And he promised he would take her for his bride
Oh, and Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today, yeah
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Woah! Spring is here and the sky is so very blue.

"That is the pits ending to a really terrific song!"

Ohh-oh, Ohh-oh, ah
Sing to me baby, baby.
Buckets, nuggets of rain.
Nuggets of rain,
nuggets of tears.
Got all the nuggets
comin' out of my ears.
Nuggets of moonbeams
in my hand.
You got all the love,
honey baby, I can stand.
I been down, high like an oak.
I've seen pretty people
disappear like smoke.
Friends will arrive,
friends will disappear.
You want me,
honey baby, I'll be here.
Oh-oh, I'll be here.
Ooooooh.
Sing to me baby, baby, baby.
Buckets of rain.
I like your smile
and your fingertips.
I like the way that you move your lips.
I like that heavenly way
you look at me.
Everything about you is bringing me ecstasy.
Little red wagon,
little red bike.
I ain't no monkey
but I know what I like.
I like the way you monkey around.
Stick with me baby
and we'll never be found.
Life is heavy
and life is sad.
Life is a bust
when you think you've been had.
You lose, you must do
and you do it bad.
I do it for you,
honey baby, ain't you glad?
Oh, Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ooooh.
Bobby, Bobby,
hey there Mister D,
you set me free. Yeah.
I don't believe I really said that.
"Hum, meany."
"Oooh, you don't even know. You have no idea."
"I don't want to know . . . . .

I took a dive into your eyes
and I was in a sea of deep blue green emotion.
Now in my dreams it often seems that you are moving me
like tides moving the ocean.
My heart hears you calling
and I feel that I'm falling
into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
And as we lie I feel that I am floating
in a stream of clear crystalline feeling.
I want to wade into your waves
and let them wash me clean.
To hold you is so healing.
My heart hears you calling
and I know that I'm falling
into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
My sorrows washed away like rain,
the lonely simple joys remain.
Holy bliss, bottomless love.
Into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Dream.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
Into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Dream.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
Dream. Woah-oh-oh. Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love.
Picture of a dreamy deep with you. Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love.
Yes, I've fallen, I've fallen, I've fallen in love with you.
Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love.
Woah-oh-oh. Bottomless love.

Bless you chi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ild.
You suffer, you're human,
you sin, you fail,
you love, you hate, you ail,

you trust, you disbelieve.
Bless you for your weakness.
Bless you for your strength.
Bless you for that smile

"Oh, that's so heavy.
We're goanna do a, a Neil Young song.
Neil is so heavy.
Neil is so mellow and laid back.
I'm trying my best to be mellow and laid back.
You know, I have even gone organic.
Last week I ate an Earth Shoe.
Oh, did I sing the ballad yet?
Was it wonderful? Oh, did I sing it?
I didn't sing it, did I. Oh, so sorry."
Lover, there will be another one
to hover over you beneath the sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that never come
today.
And you see me fly away without you.
My shadow on the things you know.
My feathers fall all around you,
they show you the way to go.
It's over, baby. I say, it's over, baby.
Nestle in your wings my little one.
The special morning brings another sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that do not come
today.
And you see me fly away without you.
My shadow falling on the things you know.
My feathers, they fall all around you,
they show you the way to go.
Hey, baby. It's over, baby. It's over, baby.
I got to fly away. I got to fly away.
Gonna close my eyes and I will fly away.
You believe it now, fly away. I'm goin' to the sun, to fly away.
I'm gonna close my eyes and I will fly away.
Oh, one more time. Fly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fly away.
Close my eyes and I will fly away.
It's over, baby. It's over, baby.
My lover, there will be another one
to hover over you beneath the sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that do not come
today.
She will show you the way to go.
It's over. Thank god, it's over.
I'm gonna close my eyes and I will fly away.

"Oh god, oh god.
Dumping so early in the evening.
I really didn't mean that.
I really didn't mean that."
Above the ground, I'm lifted to the sky,
and down like a tumbling weed I found myself stranded high and dry.
A circus ride, oh, it only costs a dime,
but if you wanna see the fireworks you might have to pay a lifetime.
'Cause love is a carnival
with lots of laughs, wonderful rides and danger.
But it feels so good.
With rockets shootin' in your head,
'round and 'round and 'round you go.
Bang, you're dead, baby. Bang, you're dead, baby.
Like a boomerang keeps twisting, twisting in your heart.
You know the funny part of it is, you always end up where you start.
You're headed for big clouds. Got the silver lining.
But you're in for a big surprise.
There's a river of tears behind it.
'Cause love is a carnival
with lots of baubles, bangles and beads.
Beware, beware, beware.
It feels so good, feels so good.
With rockets shootin' in your head,
'round and 'round and 'round you go.
Bang, you're dead, baby. Bang, you're dead, baby.
Above the ground I'm lifted. Spininng, spinning, spinning out of control.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher!
Above the ground I'm lifted, yeah, to the sky.
And down like a tumbling weed I found myself stranded high and dry.
A circus ride, you know it, it only costs a dime,
but if you wanna see the fireworks you might have to pay.
Hey, yeah, yeah, to the sky, high. And down like a tumbling weed
I found myself stranded, stranded.

I pretend I'm at home getting dressed for a date
I take a comb, comb my hair
Take a flower, smell it and put it in my lapel
And I spot the audience
Once my clothes were shabby
Tailors called me Cabbie
So I took a vow, said this bum'll be Beau Brummel
Now I'm smooth and snappy, now my tailor's happy
I am the cats meow, my wardrobe is a wow
Paris silk, Harris tweed, there's only one thing I need
Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest
All I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes high
Got the time and the place and I got rhythm
Now all I need is the girl to go with 'em
If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl
And if she?ll say my darling I'm yours
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed
All I really need is the girl
I start off easy, you see?
Now I'm more debonair, ssh, break
And I sell it here, I start this step, see?
And then I build it, double it
She appears all in white, I take her hand, kiss it
And lead her on the floor
This step's good for the costume, Astaire's pat
Yah, dah, dah, dah, yah, dah, yah, dah, dah, yah
Now we waltz, strings come in
And I lift her again, once more
And now the tempo changes and all the lights come up
And I build for the finale
Louise that's it, do it over here
Follow me, faster, Charleston
