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
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
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'.
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?"
James: "Are you sure you're not a cop?"
Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.
Bette: You
James: and you.
Bette: Ohh-oh, Ohh-oh, ah
Sing to me baby, baby.
Buckets, nuggets of rain.
Bette & Bob: 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.
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,
you set me free. Yeah.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
"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.
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.
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'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
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,
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!
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.
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
than you ever dreamed possible.
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.
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 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 . . .
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.
"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',
"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,
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.
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?
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,
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 . . .
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 you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick

He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fireplace
So you'll have a yule that's cool

'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:
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.
