BIG WEEKEND CHOIRAOKE

Hopelessly Devoted to you - Grease

Guess mine is not the first heart broken,

My eyes are not the first to cry,

I'm not the first to know there's

Just no getting over you

I'm Hopelessly Devoted To You

But now there's no where to hide

Since you pushed my love aside

I'm out of my head

Hopelessly Devoted To You

I know I'm just a fool who's willing

To sit around and wait for you

But baby can't you see

there's nothing else for me to do

I'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now there's no where to hide

Since you pushed my heart aside

I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you

Hopelessly devoted to you

My head is saying fool forget him

My heart is saying don't let him go

Hold on to the end that's what I intend to do I

'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now there's no where to hide

Since you pushed my love aside

I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you

Hopelessly devoted to you

Summer lovin’, - Grease

Summer lovin' had me a blast

Summer lovin', happened so fast

I met a girl crazy for me

I met a boy, cute as can be

Summer days driftin' away,

To uh-oh those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more,

Did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more, Like, does he have a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp

He went by me, got my suit damp

I saved her life, she nearly drowned

He showed oﬀ, splashing around

Summer sun, something's

begun, But uh-oh those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more,

Was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more,

Did she put up a fight?

Took her bowlin' in the Arcade

We went strollin', drank lemonade

We made out under the dock

We stayed up until ten o'clock

Summer fling don't mean a thing,

But uh-oh those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more, But you don't gotta brag

Tell me more, tell me more, Cause he sounds like a drag

He got friendly, holdin' my hand

Well she got friendly, down in the sand

He was sweet, just turned eighteen

Well she was good, you know what I mean

Summer heat, boy and girl meet,

But uh-oh those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more, How much dough did he spend?

Tell me more, tell me more, Could she get me a friend?

It turned colder, that's where it ends

So I told her we'd still be friends

Then we made our true love vow

Wonder what she's doin' now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams,

But oh, those summer nights

Consider yourself - Oliver

Consider yourself at home

Consider yourself one of the family

We've taken to you so strong

It's clear we're going to get along

Consider yourself well in

Consider yourself part of the furniture

There isn't a lot to spare

Who cares what ever we got we share

If it should chance to be we should see some harder days

Empty larder days why grouse

Always a chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill

Then the drinks are on the house

Consider Yourself our mate

We don't want to have no fuss

For after some consideration we can state

Consider Yourself one of us

Consider yourself at home

Consider yourself one of the family

We've taken to you so strong

It's clear we're going to get along

Consider Yourself well in

Consider Yourself part of the furniture

There isn't a lot to spare

Who cares what ever we got we share

Nobody tries to be lahdidah and uppity

There's a cup of tea for all

Only it's wise to be handy wiv a rollin' pin

When the landlord comes to to call call

Consider Yourself our mate

We don't want to have no fuss

For after some consideration we can state

Consider Yourself one of us

Oom Pah Pah - Oliver

There's a little ditty they're singin' in the city

Especially when they've been on the gin or the beer

If you've got the patience your own imaginations

will tell you just exactly what you want to hear

Chorus

Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes

Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knows

And they all suppose what they want to suppose when they hear oom pah pah

Mr. Percy Snodgrass would often have the odd glass

But never when he thought anybody could

see Secretly he'd buy it, and drink it on the quiet

And dream he was an Earl with a girl on his knee

Chorus

Pretty little Sally goes walking down the alley

Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men

They could see her garters, but not for free and gratis

An inch or two and then she knows when to say when

Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes

Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knows

Whether its hidden or whether it shows It's the same oom pah pah

She was from the country, but now she's up a gumtree

She let a fellow beat her, and lead her along

What's the use of cryin', she made her bed to lie in

She's glad to bring a coin in, and join in this song

Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes

Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knows

She is no longer the same blushing rose - Ever since oom pah pah

Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone

knows And they all suppose what they want to suppose When they hear oom pah pah

This is Me. - The Greatest Showman

I'm not a stranger to the dark Hide away, they say

'Cause we don't want your broken parts

I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars Run away, they say

No one will love you as you are

Pre-Chorus

But I won't let them break me down to dust

I know that there's a place for us For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

I am brave, I am bruisedI am who I'm meant to be, this is me,

Look out 'cause here I come

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum

I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Another round of bullets hits my skin

Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in We are bursting through the barricades

And reaching for the sun (we are warriors)

Yeah, that's what we'll become

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

This is brave, this is bruised

This is who I'm meant to be, this is me,

Look out 'cause here I come

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum)

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me

(Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

This is me!

A Million Dreams - The Greatest Showman

I close my eyes and I can see

A world that's waiting up for me

That I call my own

Through the dark, through the door

Through where no one's been before

But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say I've lost my mind

I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy

We can live in a world that we design

'Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colours fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

Oh, a million dreams for the world

we're gonna make

There's a house we can build

Every room inside is filled

With things from far away

The special things I compile

Each one there to make you smile

On a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say we've lost our minds

I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy

Runaway to a world that we design

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colours fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

However big, however small

Let me be part of it all

Share your dreams with me

You may be right, you may be wrong

But say that you'll bring me along

To the world you see

To the world I close my eyes to see

I close my eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colours fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

A million dreams, a million dreams

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

For the world we're gonna make

Do you hear the people sing - Les Miserables

Do you hear the people sing?

Singing the song of angry men?

It is the music of the people

Who will not be slaves again!

When the beating of your heart

Echoes the beating of the drums

There is a life about to start

When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?

Who will be strong and stand with me?

Beyond the barricade

Is there a world you long to see?

Then join in the fight

That will give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing?

Singing the song of angry men?

It is the music of the people

Who will not be slaves again!

When the beating of your heart

Echoes the beating of the drums

There is a life about to start

When tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give

So that our banner may advance?

Some will fall and some will live

Will you stand up and take your chance?

The blood of the martyrs

Will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing?

Singing the song of angry men?

It is the music of the people

Who will not be slaves again!

When the beating of your heart

Echoes the beating of the drums

There is a life about to start

When tomorrow comes

Do Re Me - The Sound of Music

Let's start at the very beginning,

A very good place to start.

When you read you begin with A-B-C.

When you sing you begin with do-re-mi.

Do re mi?

Do re mi.

The first three notes just happen to be

Do-re-mi.

Do-re-mi!

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti...

Doe – a deer, a female deer,

Ray – a drop of golden sun,

Me – a name I call myself,

Far – a long, long way to run,

Sew – a needle pulling thread,

La – a note to follow sew,

Tea – a drink with jam and bread.

That will bring us back to do!

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do.

So-do!

So-do-la-fa-mi-do-re.

So-do-la-ti-do-re-do.

When you know the notes to sing,

You can sing most anything.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - Mary Poppins

It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Even though the sound of it

is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough

you'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I. X4

Because I was afraid to speak

when I was just a lad

Me father gave me nose a tweak,

told me I was bad

But then one day I learned a word

that saved me achin' nose

The biggest word you ever heard

and this is how it goes

Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Even though the sound of it

is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough

you'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I X4

He traveled all around the world

and everywhere he went

He'd use his word and all would s

ay there goes a clever gent

When dukes or Maharajas

pass the time of day with me

I say me special word and then

they ask me out to tea (woo)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Even though the sound of it

is something quite atrocious

If you say it loud enough

you'll always sound precocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I X2

You know you can say it backwards which is

Dociousaliexpisticfragicalirupus

But that's going a bit too far, don't you think?

Indubitably

So when the cat has got your tongue

there's no need for dismay (here-ye)

Just summon up this word

and then you've got a lot to say

But better use it carefully

or it could change your life

For example. Yes?

One night, I said it to me girl

and now me girl's me wife

Oh, and a lovely thing she is, too

She's

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious X 4

Let’s go fly a kite - Mary Poppins

… With tuppence for paper and strings

You can have your own set of wings

With your feet on the ground

You're a bird in a flight

With your fist holding tight

To the string of your kite

… Oh, oh, oh!

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height!

Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go fly a kite!

… When you send it flyin' up there

All at once you're lighter than air

You can dance on the breeze

Over 'ouses and trees

With your first 'olding tight

To the string of your kite

… Oh, oh, oh!

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height!

Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go fly a kite!

I’m a believer - Shrek

I thought love was only true in fairytales

Meant for someone else but not for

me Love was out to get me

That's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Chorus

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I'm in love, I'm a believer

I couldn't leave her if I tried

Verse

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing

But the more I gave the less I got

What's the use in trying?

All you get is pain

When I needed sunshine I got rain

Chorus

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I'm in love, I'm a believerI couldn't leave her if I tried

Love was out to get me

Now that's the way it seemed Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Chorus

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I'm in love, I'm a believer

I couldn't leave her if I tried

Ad lib chorus

Mamma Mia

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when

So I made up my mind, it must come to an end

Look at me now, will I ever learn?

I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control

There's a fire within my soul

and I can hear a bell ring

(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa

Mamma mia, here I go again

My, my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, now I really know

My, my, I could never let you go

I've been angry and sad about things that you do

I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through

And when you go, when you slam the door

I think you know that you won't be away too long

You know that I'm not that strong

and I can hear a bell ring

(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa

Mamma mia, here I go again

My, my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, even if I say

Bye-bye, leave me now or never

Mamma mia, it's a game we play

Bye-bye doesn't mean foreverMamma mia, here I go again

My, my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again

My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, now I really know

My, my, I could never let you go

Lay all your Love - Mamma Mia

I wasn't jealous before we met

Now every woman I see is a potential threat

And I'm possessive, it isn't nice

You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice

But now it isn't true

Now everything is new

And all I've learned has overturned

I beg of you

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck

A little small talk, a smile, and baby I was stuck

I still don't know what you've done with me

A grown-up woman should never fall so easily

I feel a kind of fear

When I don't have you near

Unsatisfied, I skip my pride

I beg you, dear

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me

I've had a few little love aﬀairs

They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce

I used to think I was sensible

It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

'Cause everything is new

And everything is you

And all I've learned has overturned

What can I do?

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotionLay all your love on me

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Thankyou for the music

I’m nothing special, in fact

I'm a bit of a bore If I tell a joke,

you've probably heard it before

But I have a talent, a wonderful thing

'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I’m so grateful and proud

All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say. Thank you for the music,

the songs I’m singing

Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing

Who can live without it,

I ask in all honesty

What would life be, without a song or a dance, what are we

So I say, thank you for the music,

for giving it to me.

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk Mm-mm, she says I began to

sing long before I could talk

And I’ve often wondered,

how did it all start

Who found out that nothing

can capture a heart

like a melody can

Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

CHORUS x 2

So I say. Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing…………..

I know him so well - Chess

Nothing is so good, it lasts eternally

Perfect situations must go wrong

But this has never yet prevented me

Wanting far too much, for far too long

Looking back, I could have played it differently

Won a few more moments

Who can tell?

But it took time to understand the man

Now, at least I know, I know him well

Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)

Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)

Isn't it madness, he can't be mine?

But in the end, he needs a little bit more than me

More security

He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

No one in your life is with you constantly

No one is completely on your side

And though I'd move my world to be with him

Still, the gap between us is too wide

Looking back (looking back),

I could have played it differently (I could have played it some other way)

Learned about the man before I fell (I was just a little careless)

But I was ever so much younger then (maybe, so much younger then)

Now, at least I know, I know him well

Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)

Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)

Isn't it madness, he won't be mine?

Didn't I know how it would go?

If I knew from the start, why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it good?

Wasn't he fine?

Isn't it madness, he won't be mine?

But in the end, he needs a little bit more than me

More security

He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

It took time to understand him

I know him so well

Don’t cry for me Argentina - Evita

It won't be easy

You think it's strange

When I try to explain how I feel

That I still need your love

After all that I've done

You won't believe me

All you will see

Is a girl you once knew

Although she's dressed up

To the nines

At sixes

And sevens with you

I had to let it happen

I had to change

Couldn't stay all my life down at heel

Looking out

Of the window

Staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom

Running around

Trying everything new

But nothing Impressed me At all

I never Expected it to

Don't cry for me, Argentina

The truth is I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune

And as for fame

I never invited them in

Though it seemed

To the world

They were all I desire

They are illusions

They're not the solutions they promise to be

The answer Was here All the time

I love you And hope you love me

Don't cry for me, Argentina

The truth is I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?

There's nothing more

I can think of To say to you

But, all you have to do

Is look at me to know

That every word

Is true!

Popular - Wicked

Elphie, now that we're friends,

I've decided to make you my new project!

You really don't have to do that

I know, that's what makes me so nice!

Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I

And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?

My tender heart tends to start to bleed

And when someone needs a makeover

I simply have to take over!

I know, I know exactly what they need!

And even in your case

Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face

Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed!

Follow my lead

And yes indeed, you will be

Popular!

You're gonna be popular!

I'll teach you the proper ploys

When you talk to boys

Little ways to flirt and flounce

Ooh!

I'll show you what shoes to wear!

How to fix your hair!

Everything that really counts to be

Popular!

I'll help you be popular!

You'll hang with the right cohorts

You'll be good at sports

Know the slang you've got to know

So let's start

'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go!

Don't be offended by my frank analysis

Think of it as personality dialysis

Now that I've chosen to become a

Pal, a sister and advisor

There's nobody wiser!

Not when it comes to

Popular!

I know about popular

And with an assist from me

To be who you'll be

Instead of dreary who you were

Well, are

There's nothing that can stop you

From becoming popu-ler... lar

La la, la la!

We're gonna make you pop-you-lar!

When I see depressing creatures

With unprepossessing features

I remind them on their own behalf

To think of

Celebrated heads of state

Or specially great communicators!

Did they have brains or knowledge?

Don't make me laugh!

They were popular!

Please!

It's all about popular

It's not about aptitude

It's the way you're viewed

So it's very shrewd to be

Very very popular

Like me!

Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful!

I, I have to go

You're welcome

And though you protest

Your disinterest

I know clandestinely

You're gonna grin and bear it!

Your new found popularity! Aah!

La la, la la!

You'll be popular!

Just not quite as popular as me!

Somewhere over the Rainbow - Wizard of Oz

When all the world is a hopeless jumble

And the raindrops tumble all around,

Heaven opens a magic lane.

When all the clouds darken up the skyway

There's a rainbow highway to be found,

Leading from your window pane

To a place behind the sun,

Just a step beyond the rain.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,

There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops,

That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why can't I?

(orchestra interlude)

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops,

That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,

Why, oh why can't I?

Any dream will do - Joseph and his amazing technicolour Dreamcoat

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain

To see for certain, what I thought I knew

Far, far away, someone was weeping

But, the world was sleeping

Any dream will do

I wore my coat (I wore my coat), with golden lining (ah-ah-ah)

Bright colors shining (ah-ah), wonderful and new

And in the East (and in the east), the dawn was breaking (ah-ah-ah)

And the world was waking (ah-ah)

Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat, flew out of sight

The colors faded into darkness

I was left alone

May I return (may I return), to the beginning (ah-ah-ah)

The light is dimming (ah-ah) and the dream is too

The world and I (the world and I), we are still waiting (ah-ah-ah)

Still hesitating (ah-ah)

Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat flew out of sight

The colors faded into darkness

I was left alone

May I return (may I return), to the beginning (ah-ah-ah)

The light is dimming (ah-ah) and the dream is too

The world and I (the world and I), we are still waiting (ah-ah-ah)

Still hesitating

Any dream will do

Any dream will do (Any dream, any dream)

Life is a Cabaret - Cabaret

What good is sitting
alone in your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
It's time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

Come taste the wine,
Come hear the band.
Come blow your horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table's waiting.

No use permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
So come to the Cabaret!

I used to have this girlfriend
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call
A blushing flower...
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.

The day she died the neighbours
Came to snicker:
"Well, that's what comes
From too much pills and liquor."
But when I saw her laid down like a Queen,
She was the happiest... corpse...
I'd ever seen.

I think of Elsie to this very day.
I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
"What good is sitting all alone
In you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret."

And as for me, ah, and as for me
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
When I go, I'm going like Elsie.

Start by admitting,
From cradle to tomb
It isn't that a long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
It's only a Cabaret, old chum
And I love a Cabaret.

9 to 5

Tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

Yawnin' and stretchin' and try to come to life

Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'

Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'

With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living

Barely gettin' by, it's all taking and no giving

They just use your mind and they never give you credit

It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

9 to 5, for service and devotion

You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion

Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me

I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

Mmmmm...

They let you dream just to watch them shatter

You're just a step on the boss man's ladder

But you got dreams he'll never take away

In the same boat with a lot of your friends

Waiting for the day your ship will come in

And the tide's gonna turn an' it's all gonna roll you away

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living

Barely gettin' by, it's all taking and no giving

They just use your mind and you never get the credit

It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you

There's a better life and you think about it don't you

It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it

And you spend your life putting money in his wallet

Oh what a beautiful morning - Oklahoma

There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow

There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow.

The corn is as high as an elephant's eye

And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky.

Oh, what a beautiful mornin'

Oh, what a beautiful day.

I've got a beautiful feelin'

Everything's goin' my way.

All the cattle are standin' like statues

They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by But a little brown mav'rick is winkin' her eye

Oh, what a beautiful mornin'

Oh, what a beautiful day.

I've got a beautiful feelin'

Everything's goin' my way.

All the sounds of the earth are like music

The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree

An' a ol' weepin' willer is laughin' at me

Oh, what a beautiful mornin'

Oh, what a beautiful day.

I've got a beautiful feelin'

Everything's goin' my way.

Oh, what a beautiful day!

The Time Warp

It's astounding

Time is fleeting

Madness takes its toll

But listen closely

Not for very much longer

I've got to keep control

I remember doing the Time Warp

Drinking those moments when

The blackness would hit me

And the void would be calling

Let's do the Time Warp again

It's just a jump to the left

And then a step to the right

Put your hands on your hips

You bring your knees in tight

But it's the pelvic thrust

That really drives you insane

Let's do the Time Warp again

It's so dreamy

Oh, fantasy free me

So you can't see me

No, not at all

In another dimension

With voyeuristic intention

Well-secluded, I see all

With a bit of a mind flip

You're into the time slip

And nothing can ever be the same

You're spaced out on sensation

Like you're under sedation

Let's do the Time Warp again

Well, I was walking down the street just a-having a think

When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink

He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise

He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes

He stared at me and I felt a change

Time meant nothing, never would again

Let's do the Time Warp again

It's just a jump to the left

And then a step to the right

Put your hands on your hips

You bring your knees in tight

But it's the pelvic thrust

That really drives you insane

Let's do the Time Warp again

Can you feel the love tonight - The Lion King

There's a calm surrender

To the rush of day

When the heat of a rolling wave

Can be turned away

An enchanted moment

And it sees me through

It's enough for this restless warrior

Just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight?

It is where we are

It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer

That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight?

How it's laid to rest?

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds

Believe the very best

There's a time for everyone

If they only learn

That the twisting kaleidoscope

Moves us all in turn

There's a rhyme and reason

To the wild outdoors

When the heart of this star-crossed voyager

Beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight?

It is where we are

It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer

That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight?

How it's laid to rest?

It's enough to make kings

and vagabonds

Believe the very best

It's enough to make kings

and vagabonds

Believe the very best

Anything Goes

Times have changed,

And we've often rewound the clock,

Since the Puritans got a shock,

When they landed on Plymouth Rock.

If today,

Any shock they should try to stem,

'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,

Plymouth Rock would land on them.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking

Was looked on as something shocking,

But now, God knows,

Anything Goes.

Good authors too who once knew better words,

Now only use four letter words

Writing prose, Anything Goes.

The world has gone mad today

And good's bad today,

And black's white today,

And day's night today,

When most guys today

That women prize today

Are just silly gigolos

And though I'm not a great romancer

I know that you're bound to answer

When I propose,

Anything goes

When grandmama whose age is eighty

In night clubs is getting matey with gigolo's,

Anything Goes.

When mothers pack and leave poor father

Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros,

Anything Goes.

If driving fast cars you like,

If low bars you like,

If old hymns you like

If bare limbs you like,

If Mae West you like

Or me undressed you like,

Why, nobody will oppose!

When every night,

The set that's smart

Is intruding in nudist parties in studios,

Anything Goes.

I got rhythm - Crazy For You

Days can be sunny, With never a sigh,

Don't need what money Can buy.

Birds in the tree sing ,Their dayful of song.

Why shouldn't we sing Along?

I'm chipper al the day, Happy with my lot.

How did I get that way? Look at what I've got.

I got rhythm, I got music, I got my man --

Who could ask for anything more?

I got daisies, In green pastures, I got my man --

Who could ask for anything more?

I got daisies , In green pastures, I got my man --

Who could ask for anything more?

Old man trouble, I don't mind him --

You won't find him, 'Round my door

I got starlight, I got sweet dreams,

I got my man --

Who could ask for anything more --

Who could ask for anything more?!

I got rhythm, I got music,I got my man --

Who could ask for anything more?

I got daisies, In green pastures I got my man --

Who could ask for anything more?

Old man trouble, I don't mind him --

You won't find him

Hangin' 'round my front or back door.

I got starlight, I got sweet dreams I got my man

Who could ask for anything more?

Who could ask for anything more?!

Old man trouble, I don't mind him

You won't find him

'Round my door Oh...

I got rhythm, I got music, I got my man --

Who could ask for anything more? Oh...

I got daisies, In green pastures I got my man --

Who could ask for anything more?

Who could ask for anything more?!
