You’ve got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
You’ve got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark
Man, they said we better, accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me?
Oh, listen to me chillun and-a you will hear
About the eliminatin’ of the negative
And the accent on the positive
And gather ’round me chillun if you’re willin’
And sit tight while I start reviewin’
The attitude of doin’ right
You’ve gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
You’ve got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom, down to the minimum
Otherwise pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say
Say when everything looked so dark
Man, they said we better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
No, don’t mess with Mister In-Between
Oh, honey . . .
Picture me upon your knee
With tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone
Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won’t have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and I’m gonna wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take for all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you
And a girl for me
Can’t you see how happy we will be?
Picture you upon my knee
Tea for two
And two for tea
Me for you
And you for me alone
Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won’t have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break, and I’m gonna wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take for all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you
And a girl for me
Can’t you see how happy we will be?
Come inside, shut the door
Grab the blankets off the floor
Let your sneakers dry there on the radiator
Here we are, winter again
Brittle bones and prickled skin
All the geese have flown
I wish I was a hibernator
And tonight it’s clear to me
How a country could secede
We keep close, huddle tight
Near the stove, blue and bright
While the kettle warms, how long have we waited?
If they took this joy away
Small it is, but ours today
Well I know, I know, I wanna be liberated
And tonight it’s clear to me
How a country could secede
For a cup of tea
For a cup of tea
For a cup of tea!
Here I am, for by sea
They took our bombs to take our tea
We will ring our bells to warn of their arrival
We keep close, huddled tight
Me and you, we’ll be all right
And this tea for two will aid in our survival
And tonight it’s clear to me
How a country could secede
For a cup of tea
For a cup of tea
For a cup of tea!
Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
That pit-a-pats through my brain;
So darn persistent,
The day isn’t distant
When it’ll drive me insane.
Comes in the morning
Without any warning,
And hangs around me all day.
I’ll have to sneak up to it
Someday, and speak up to it.
I hope it listens when I say
Fascinating Rhythm,
You’ve got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm,
I’m all a-quiver.
What a mess you’re making!
The neighbors want to know
Why I’m always shaking
Just like a flivver.
Each morning I get up with the sun
Start a-hopping,
Never stopping
To find at night no work has been done.
I know that
Once it didn’t matter
But now you’re doing wrong
When you start to patter
I’m so unhappy.
Won’t you take a day off?
Decide to run along
Somewhere far away off
And make it snappy!
Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be!
Fascinating Rhythm,
Oh, won’t you stop picking on me?
[dance video]
We’ve just been introduced,
I do not know you well,
But when the music started
Something drew me to your side.
So many men and girls
Are in each other’s arms.
It made me think we might be
Similarly occupied.
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say “Goodnight” and mean “Goodbye”?
Or perchance,
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we still be together
With our arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen,
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
[instrumental interlude, dialogue]
Shall we dance?
One, two, three, and?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
One, two, three, and?
Shall we dance?
One, two, three, and?
Shall we then say “Goodnight” and mean “Goodbye”?
One, two, three, and?
Or perchance,
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we still be together
With our arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen,
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
[instrumental interlude, dialogue]
[Ginger]
Think of what you’re losing
By constantly refusing
To dance with me.
You’d be the idol of France with me
And yet you stand there
And shake your foolish head rheumatically
While I wait here so ecstatically
You just look and say emphatically:
[Fred]
Not this season. There’s a reason.
I won’t dance, don’t ask me
I won’t dance, don’t ask me
I won’t dance, Madame, with you
My heart won’t let my feet do things they should do
You know what? You’re lovely
[Ginger]
So what? I’m lovely . . .
[Fred]
But oh, what you do to me
I’m like an ocean wave that’s bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
[Ginger]
Ah, but when you dance you’re charming and you’re gentle
Especially when you do the Continental
[Fred]
But this feeling isn’t purely mental
For heaven rest us
I’m not asbestos
And that’s why . . .
I won’t dance, why should I?
I won’t dance, how could I?
I won’t dance, merci beaucoup.
I know that music leads the way to romance
And if I hold you in my arms . . . I won’t dance.
[tap interlude]
Fortune, my foe, why dost thou frown on me?
And will thy favours never better be?
Wilt thou, I say, forever breed my pain?
And wilt thou not restore my joys again?
In vain I sigh, in vain I wail and weep;
In vain my eyes refrain from quiet sleep;
In vain I shed my tears both night and day;
In vain my love my sorrows do bewray.
Then will I place my love in Fortune’s hands?
My dearest love, in most unconstant bands?
And only serve the sorrows due to me:
Sorrow, hereafter thou shalt my Mistress be.
Ah, silly Soul! art thou so sore afraid?
Mourn not, my dear, nor be not so dismayed.
Fortune cannot, with all her power and skill,
Enforce my heart to think thee any ill.
Live thou in bliss, and banish death to Hell;
All careful thoughts see thou from thee expel:
As thou dost wish, thy love agrees to be.
For proof thereof, behold, I come to thee.
In Penny Lane, there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he’s had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say, “Hello”
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
And little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain; very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit—and meanwhile, back
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It’s a clean machine
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer—meanwhile, back
Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she’s in a play
She is anyway
In Penny Lane, the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain; very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit—and meanwhile, back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane!
Paperback writer (paperback writer)
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It’s based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
So I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer
It’s a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn’t understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It’s a steady job
But he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer
Paperback writer (paperback writer)
It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few
I’ll be writing more in a week or two
I could make it longer if you like the style
I can change it ’round
And I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer
If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
But I need a break
And I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer
Paperback writer (paperback writer) (x5)
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna take a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag, got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that “all aboard”
Seven, that’s the time we leave, at seven
I’ll be waitin’ up for heaven
Countin’ every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take that sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
Sentimental journey
[instrumental]
Turn around
Look at what you see
In her face
The mirror of your dreams
Make believe I’m everywhere
Given in the light
Written on the pages
Is the answer to a never-ending story
Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never-ending story, story
Show no fear
For she may fade away
In your hand
The birth of a new day
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never-ending story
Never-ending story (x3)
Days can be sunny with never a sigh
Don’t need what money can buy
Birds in the trees sing their dayful of song
Why shouldn’t we sing along?
I’m chipper all the day
Happy with my lot
How do 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?
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?
[scat singing]
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?
I got rhythm
I got music
I got daisies in green pastures
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Oh, I got plenty of nothing
And nothing’s plenty for me.
I got no car,
I got no mule,
I got no misery
The folk with plenty of plenty
Got a lock on the door
Afraid somebody’s going to rob them while
they’s out a-making more
What for?
I got no lock on the door
that’s no way to be
They can steal the rug
From my floor
that’s okay with me
’Cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the sky
Are all free
Oh, I got plenty of nothing
And nothing’s plenty for me.
I got my gal
Got my song,
Got heaven the whole day long.
Ain’t no use complaining!
Got my girl
Got my Lord
Got my song
Oh, I got plenty of nothing
And nothing’s plenty for me.
I got the sun,
I got the moon,
I got the deep blue sea
The folk with plenty of plenty
Got to pray all the day
Seems with plenty
You sure got to worry
How to keep the devil away.
Away
I’m not fretting ’bout Hell
Till the time arrive
Never worry long as I’m well
Never one to strive
To be good
To be bad
What the hell!
I’s glad I’s alive
Oh, I got plenty of nothing
And nothing’s plenty for me.
I got my gal
Got my song,
Got heaven the whole day long.
Ain’t no use complaining!
Got my girl
Got my Lord
Got my song!
[Giles]
I’ve got a theory
That it’s a demon
A dancing demon? Nehh, something isn’t right there
[Willow]
I’ve got a theory
Some kid is dreamin’
And we’re all stuck inside his wacky Broadway nightmare
[Xander]
I’ve got a theory we should work this out
[Xander/Willow/Anya/Tara]
It’s getting eerie—
What’s this cheery singing all about?
[Xander]
It could be witches
Some evil witches
Which is ridiculous ’cause witches they were
Persecuted wicca good and love the earth and
Woman power and
I’ll be over here
[Anya]
I’ve got a theory
It could be bunnies
[crickets]
[Tara]
I’ve got a—
[Anya]
Bunnies aren’t just cute like everybody supposes
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
And what’s with all the carrots?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies, bunnies
It must be bunnies!
Or maybe midgets?
[Willow]
I’ve got a theory we should work this fast
[Willow/Giles]
Because it clearly could get serious before it’s passed
[Buffy]
I’ve got a theory
It doesn’t matter
What can’t we face if we’re together?
What’s in this place that we can’t weather?
Apocalypse?
We’ve all been there
The same old trips
Why should we care
[Scoobies]
What can’t we do if we get in it
We’ll work it through within a minute
[All]
We have to try
We’ll pay the price
It’s do or die
[Buffy]
Hey, I’ve died twice
[Scoobies + Giles]
What can’t we face if we’re together?
(What can’t we face)
What’s in this place that we can’t weather?
(If we’re together)
There’s nothing we can’t face
[Anya]
Except for bunnies . . .
[Giles]
You’re not ready for the world outside
You keep pretending, but you just can’t hide
I know I said that I’d be standing by your side
But I . . .
Your path’s unbeaten and it’s all uphill
And you can meet it, but you never will
And I’m the reason that you’re standing still
But I . . .
I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand
Wish I could stay here, but now I understand
I’m standing in the way
The cries around you, you don’t hear at all
’Cuz you know I’m here to take that call
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall
But I . . .
I wish I could lay your arms down and let you rest at last
Wish I could slay your demons, but now that time has passed
Wish I could stay here, your stalwart, standing fast
But I’m standing in the way
I’m just standing in the way
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
I must be traveling on, now
There’s too many places I’ve got to see
If I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn’t be the same
’Cause I’m as free as a bird now—ooh!
[Giles is startled by Spike]
A baby in a restaurant
So tiny her head fit into her father’s hand
And as he looked into her eyes she smiled
Not bothered by the loudness of the live rock n’ roll band
And as I watched them both I longed to cradle you in my arms again
And all I could really think of was that I longed to hold my babies
A little later that same night
A child of eight or nine entered the dining room
She had the pale, poetic grace of that age
She was so tired she could hardly keep her eyes from closing
And as I watched her older sister lay her down between two chairs to sleep
All that I was thinking was that I wanted to hold my babies
Looking at photographs
Watching you grow before my eyes
Remembering the moments the instant
Before the camera saw them
And as I smile at all the times we shared, I’m reminded of the in-between
Christ, how I miss you, both then and now, my babies
I longed to hold you in my arms,
To know you’re by my side
To feel your little hands in mine,
To look into trusting eyes
I longed to be your daddy, felt guilty for not being there for you
Oh, how I miss you, my babies
I was feeling done in, couldn’t win
I’d only ever kissed before.
I thought there’s no use getting into heavy petting
It only leads to trouble and seat-wetting
Now all I want to know is how to go
I’ve tasted blood and I want more
I’ll put up no resistance, I want to stay the distance
I’ve got an itch to scratch, I need assistance:
Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night.
Then if anything grows while you pose
I’ll oil you up and rub you down
And that’s just one small fraction of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand and I need action
Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night
Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night.
Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night
Creature of the night (x8)
I’ll tell you once, I won’t tell you twice.
You’d better wise up, Janet Weiss.
Your apple pie don’t taste too nice
You’d better wise up, Janet Weiss
I’ve laid the seed it should be all you need
You’re as sensual as a pencil,
Wound up like an E or a first string
When we made it, did you hear a bell ring?
You got a block? Well, take my advice
You better wise up, Janet Weiss.
The transducer will seduce ya.
[film dialogue]
It’s something you’ll get used to—
A mental mind-f*** can be nice.
[film dialogue]
Planet, schmanet, Janet!
You better wise up, Janet Weiss.
You better wise up,
Build your thighs up,
You better wise up.
And then she cried out: “Stop!”
Don’t get hot and flustered!
Use a little bit of mustard!
You’re a hot dog
But you better not try to hurt her
Frank Furter
You’re a hot dog
But you’d better not try to hurt her
Frank Furter
I wanna thank you for giving me a chance to breathe
You waited so patiently while I got it together
While I figured it out, I looked, but I never touched
’Cause in my heart there was a picture of us
Holding hands, making plans.
And now I understand
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy and sets you free
And I’m thanking you for knowing exactly
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I’m thanking you for giving it to me
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Sensitive, courageous, sexy, cool—like you, oh baby
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
You gotta let her know how much you care about her, I swear
You’re the one who’ll always know
What a girl wants, what a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy and sets you free
And I’m thanking you for giving it to me
[dance video]
[instrumental]
And now for something completely different. It’s . . .
[instrumental]
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?
Agony!
Beyond power of speech
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach
High in her tower
She sits by the hour
Maintaining her hair
Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
A lighthearted air: ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Agony!
Far more painful than yours
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors
Agony!
Oh, the torture they teach!
What’s as intriguing—
Or half so fatiguing—
As what’s out of reach?
Am I not sensitive, clever
Well-mannered, considerate
Passionate, charming
As kind as I’m handsome
And heir to a throne?
You are everything maidens could wish for!
Then why no—?
Do I know?
The girl must be mad!
You know nothing of madness
Till you’re climbing her hair
And you see her up there
As you’re nearing her
All the while hearing her: ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Agony!
Misery!
Woe!
Though it’s different for each
Always ten steps behind
Always ten feet below
And she’s just out of reach
Agony!
That can cut like a knife!
I must have her to wife
Could be!
Who knows?
There’s something due any day;
I will know right away,
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down through the sky,
Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose!
Who knows?
It’s only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there’s a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to me!
Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something’s coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something’s coming, I don’t know what it is,
But it is
Gonna be great!
With a click, with a shock,
Phone’ll jingle, door’ll knock,
Open the latch!
Something’s coming, don’t know when, but it’s soon;
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch!
Around the corner, or whistling down the river,
Come on, deliver
To me!
Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holding still,
It’ll be there!
Come on, something, come on in, don’t be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!
The air is humming,
And something great is coming!
Who knows?
It’s only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight...
Oh, Carol, Carol, Carol, don’t let him steal your heart away
I’m gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Climb into my machine so we can cruise on out
I know a swingin’ little joint where we can jump and shout
It’s not too far back off the highway, not so long a ride
You park your car out in the open, you can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her, ma’am
And every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed
Oh, Carol, Carol, Carol, don’t let him steal your heart away
I’m gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
[repeat verse 1 & chorus]
Now, if you want to hear some music like the boys gon’ play
Hold tight, pat your foot, don’t let ’em carry it away
Don’t let the heat overcome you if we play too loud
Oh, but don’t the music intrigue you when it’s a gaily crowd
You know, if you can’t dance, I know you wish you could
Ah, come on, sock it to me, baby, make me feel a little good
Oh, Carol, Carol, Carol, don’t let him steal your heart away
You’re my thrill
You do something to me
You send chills right through me
When I look at you
’Cause you’re my thrill
You’re my thrill
How my pulse increases
I just go to pieces
When I look at you
’Cause you’re my thrill
Hmm, nothing seems to matter
Hmm, here’s my heart on a silver platter
Where’s my will?
Why this strange desire
That keeps mounting higher?
When I look at you
I can’t keep still
You’re my thrill
Where’s my will?
Why this strange desire
That keeps mounting higher?
When I look at you
I can’t keep still
You’re my thrill
Come on, babe
Why don’t we paint the town?
And all that jazz
I’m gonna rouge my knees
And roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano’s hot
It’s just a noisy hall
Where there’s a nightly brawl
And all that jazz
Skidoo!
And all that jazz
Hotcha!
Whoopee!
And all that jazz
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Slick your hair
And wear your buckle shoes
And all that jazz
I hear that Father Dip
Is gonna blow the blues
And all that jazz
Hold on, hon
We’re gonna bunny hug
I bought some aspirin
Down at United Drug
In case you shake apart
And want a brand new start
To do that jazz
Find a flask
We’re playing fast and loose
And all that jazz
Right up here
Is where I store the juice
And all that jazz
Come on, babe
We’re gonna brush the sky
I bet you Lucky Lindy
Never flew so high
’Cause in the stratosphere
How could he lend an ear
To all that jazz?
Oh, you’re gonna see your sheba shimmy shake
And all that jazz
Oh, she’s gonna shimmy till her garters break
And all that jazz
Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother’s blood’d curdle
If she’d hear her baby’s queer
For all that jazz
All that jazz
Come on, babe, why don’t we paint the town?
(Oh, you’re gonna see your sheba shimmy shake)
And all that jazz (and all that jazz)
I’m gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
(Oh, she’s gonna shimmy till her garters break)
And all that jazz (and all that jazz)
Start the car, I know a whoopee spot
(Show her where to park her girdle)
Where the gin is cold but the piano’s hot
(Oh, her mother’s blood’d curdle)
It’s just a noisy hall where there’s a nightly brawl
(If she’d hear her baby’s queer)
And all that jazz (jazz)
No, I’m no one’s wife
But, oh, I love my life
And all that jazz!
That jazz!
Shed a tear ’cause I’m missin’ you
I’m still all right to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn’t sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you’re in my heart now
Said “woman, take it slow, and it’ll work itself out fine”
All we need is just a little patience
Said “sugar, make it slow, and we’ll come together fine”
All we need is just a little patience (Patience)
Mm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs
’Cause I’d rather be alone
If I can’t have you right now, I’ll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can’t speed up the time
But you know, love, there’s one more thing to consider
Said “woman, take it slow, and things will be just fine”
You and I’ll just use a little patience
Said “sugar, take the time, ’cause the lights are shining bright”
You and I’ve got what it takes to make it
We won’t fake it, I’ll never break it
’Cause I can’t take it
Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah (I’ve been walking the streets at night)
Just trying to get it right (A little patience, yeah)
It’s hard to see with so many around
You know I don’t like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don’t change but maybe the names
I ain’t got time for the game ’cause I need you (Gotta have more patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah but I need you (All need more patience)
Oh, I need you (All need some patience)
Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)
Ooh this time (Is all you need)
[Man]
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
[Woman]
Pour myself a cup of ambition
[All]
Yawnin’, stretchin’, try to come to life
[Men]
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’
[Women]
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin’
[All]
And folks like me on the job from nine to five.
Workin’ nine to five
What a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by
It’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It’s enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
Nine to five
They got you where they want you
There’s a better life
And you dream about it, don’t you?
It’s a rich man’s game
I don’t care what you call it
And you spend your life
Puttin’ money in his wallet
[Violet]
My two lives have got me hoppin’
Dawn to midnight, there’s no stoppin’
Don’t know which I’m motherin’ the most
Pack his lunch and kiss my son
And grab my purse and I keep runnin’
Got so much on my plate, I could choke.
[Violet w/ ensemble]
Working nine to five,
for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won’t seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
[Men]
Nine to five
[Women]
Nine to five
[Doralee]
They let you dream
Just to watch ’em shatter
You’re just a step
On the boss man’s ladder
But you got dreams he’ll never take away
[Dwayne]
You’re in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in
[Doralee & Dwayne]
The tide’s gonna turn
And it’s all gonna roll your way
Nine to five (nine to five)
[Dwayne]
As long as we’re together
You know
[Doralee & Dwayne]
You and I
[Dwayne]
Will make it through whatever
[Doralee]
They can’t keep us down
We’ll just rise above it
[Doralee & Dwayne]
You hold on to me
We’ll tell them where to shove it.
[All]
Nine to five, you can lose your mind
Get up and work, get up and work
Nine to five, you can lose your mind (nine to five)
Workin’ nine to five
Nine to five, you can lose your mind
Nine to five
It’s enough to drive you crazy
It’s enough to drive you crazy
It’s enough to drive you crazy
It’s enough to drive you
It’s enough
It’s enough
It’s enough
It’s enough to drive you
Get up and work, get up and work
Nine to five
Nine to
[Judy]
Dreams and plans are in the making (five)
Success is out there for the taking
Wish it was as simple as it sounds (simple as it sounds)
I swear to you I’m gonna do it
Grit my teeth and I’ll get through it (ooo)
It’s hard to see the upside when you’re down
[Judy w/ ensemble]
Working nine to five
It became necessary
When my husband Dick (dick)
Left me for his secretary
Never worked before
But somehow I’ve gotta make it
Till I learn the ropes
I guess I just have to fake it.
[All]
Get up and work, get up and work, workin’
[Violet, Doralee, Judy w/ ensemble]
Nine to five
So many of us do it
But we know inside
We’re gonna make it through it.
But there’s a brighter day
And we’ll keep looking toward it
And we’ll find that dream
Soon as we can just afford it
Nine to five (Lose your mind/Woah oh oh oh)
Workin’ nine to five (Get up and work, get up and work)
Nine to five (Woah oh oh oh)
Workin’ nine to five (Nine to five)
Nine to five (Lose your mind)
Nine to five
It’s enough
It’s enough
It’s enough
[Violet]
I deserve a fat promotion
[Judy]
Hard to see the upside (Nine to five)
[Doralee]
Tide’s gonna turn
[All]
Workin’ nine to five
Nine to five
[Kate]
Oh, Princeton
He likes me
I think he likes me
But does he “like me” like me
Like I like him?
Will we be friends,
Or something more?
I think he’s interested,
But I’m not sure
[doorbell]
K: Come in! . . . Princeton!
P: Hiya Kate!
K: Princeton! Hi!
P: Hi! Listen, I was going through my CDs yesterday, and I kept coming across songs I thought you’d like, so I made you this tape.
K: Oh, that’s so sweet! Can I get you a drink? Or a snack?
P: Actually, do you mind if I use your bathroom?
K: Go right ahead.
P: Oh, thank you!
[Kate]
A mix tape
He made a mix tape
He was thinking of me,
Which shows he cares!
Sometimes when someone
Has a crush on you
They’ll make you a mix tape
To give you a clue
Let’s see . . .
“You’ve Got a Friend”
The theme from Friends
“That’s What Friends Are For”
Shit. Oh, but look!
“A Whole New World”
“Kiss the Girl”
“My Cherie Amour”
Oh, Princeton! He does like me!
“I Am the Walrus”
“Fat-Bottomed Girls”
“Yellow Submarine”
What does this mean?!
[flush]
P: Hey Kate, you might want to not go in there for a while.
K: Oh. Princeton, thank you for this tape. I was just looking at side A. Great songs!
P: Oh, well, did you get to side B yet?
K: No, not yet.
P: Oh, it’s great. Check it out, right here:
[alternating]
K: “Stuck On You”
P: “Love Me, Do”
K: “My Heart Will Go On”
I loved Titanic!
P: Uhh, it was all right.
“She’s Got a Way”
K: “Yesterday”
P: “Goodnight Saigon”
From the Russia concert!
K: Great.
“Through the Years”
P: The theme from Cheers
K: “Moving Right Along”
Nice tape.
P: There’s one more:
“I Have to Say I Love You in a Song”
K: Princeton, that’s so sweet! I’ve never gotten such a nice present from a guy.
P: Aww well, I’m glad you like it. But, I have to go now. I’m gonna make one for Brian, and Christmas Eve, and Gary, and Nicky, and Rod, and Trekkie Monster, and everyone!
K: Oh.
P: Oh, and, uh . . .
K: Yes?
P: What are you doing tonight?
K: Grading term papers—but it’s kindergarten, so they’re very short. Why?
P: Everyone’s going to hear this singer at the Around the Clock Cafe. Do you want to go with me?
K: Like, a date?
P: Sure! A date! It’ll be a blast.
K: I’d love to come!
P: Okay! Well, I’ll see you then.
K: Okay!
P: Okay, bye!
K: Bye! . . . He likes me!
Won’t you play some simple melody
Like my mother sang to me?
One with a good old-fashioned harmony
Play some simple melody
Musical demon, set your honey a-dreamin’
Won’t you play me some rag?
Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag
If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
You’ll get all my applause
And that is simply because I wanna listen to rag
Musical demon, set your honey a-dreamin’
(Won’t you play)
Won’t you play me some rag?
(Some simple melody)
Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag
(Like my mother sang to me?)
If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
(One with a good)
You’ll get all my applause
(Old-fashioned harmony)
And that is simply because I wanna listen to rag
(Play some simple melody)
Musical demon, set your honey a-dreamin’
(Won’t you play)
Won’t you play me some rag?
(Some simple melody—steady, steady!)
Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag
(Like my mother sang to me?)
If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
(One with a good)
You’ll get all my applause
(Old-fashioned harmony—don’t lose your head!)
And that is simply because I wanna listen to rag
(Play some simple melody)
Play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
(Play for me)
You’ll get all of my applause, because
(That good old-fashioned harmony)
I wanna rag it
(Oh, won’t you play for me)
Ragtime melody!
(A simple melody!)
[instrumental]
My nightly craft is winged in white
A dragon of night-dark sea
Swiftborn, dreambound and rudderless
Her captain and crew are me
Oh sweet sea, oh dear sea
Take me far from shore
But bear me safely to my Hold
When morning comes once more
The fickle wind’s my foe
With tide his keen ally
They’re jealous of my sea’s love
And taunt her with their lies
Oh sweet sea, oh dear sea
Heed not their stormy wiles
But bear me safely to my Hold
And from their watery trials
I sail a hundred sleeping tides
Where no seaman’s ever been
And only my white-winged craft and I
Know the marvels we have seen
Oh sweet sea, oh dear sea
Take me far from shore
But bear me safely to my Hold
When morning comes once more
Now it’s time to say good night
Good night, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.
Close your eyes and I’ll close mine
Good night, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.
Close your eyes and I’ll close mine
Good night, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.
Good night, good night, everybody
Everybody, everywhere
Good night.
[dialogue]
Good morning, good morning
We’ve talked the whole night through
Good morning, good morning to you
Good morning, good morning
It’s great to stay up late
Good morning, good morning to you
When the band began to play
The stars were shining bright
Now the milkman’s on his way
It’s too late to say good night
So, good morning, good morning
Sunbeams will soon smile through
Good morning, good morning to you
And you, and you, and you
Good morning, good morning
We’ve gabbed the whole night through
Good morning, good morning to you
Nothing could be grander than to be in Louisiana
In the morning, in the morning
It’s great to stay up late
Good morning, good morning to you
Might be just as zippy if we was in Mississippi
When we left the movie show
The future wasn’t bright
But came the dawn the show goes on
And I don’t want to say good night
So say good morning, good morning
Rainbows are shining through
Good morning, good morning
Bonjour, monsieur
Buenos días
Muchas frías
Bongiorno
Montichorno
Gutten morgen
Blakich morgen
Good morning to you

Waka laka laka laka laka laka wa
Waka laka laka laka laka laka wa
Waka laka laka laka laka laka wa
¡Olé!
Toro!
Bravo!
I saw you flash a smile that seemed to me to say
You wanted so much more than casual conversation
I swear I caught a look before you turned away
Now I don’t see the point resisting your temptation
Did you come on to me? Will I come on to you?
If you come on to me, will I come on to you?
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do-do-do, do
I don’t think I can wait like I’m supposed to do
How soon can we arrange a formal introduction?
We need to find a place where we can be alone
To spend some special time without an interruption
If you come on to me, will I come on to you?
If you come on to me, will I come on to you?
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do-do-do, do, yeah
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do-do-do, do
Before you grab your coat, I’ll try to be discreet
You know we can’t be seen exchanging information
Well, I saw you flash a smile, that seemed to me to say
You wanted so much more than casual conversation
If you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you
If you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you
If you come on to me, will I come on to you?
If you come on to me, will I come on to you?
If you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you
If you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you
If you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you
If you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will now
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will now, uh-huh
If you, if you come on to me (yeah), then I’ll come on to you
If you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah (if you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (if you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you)
If you come on to me, then I’ll come on to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ll come on to you, whoo!
A handsome young sailor to London come down,
He’d been paid off his ship in old Liverpool town.
They asked him his name and he answered them, “Quite,
I belong to a family called Nine Times a Night.”
Well a handsome young widow who still wore her weeds,
Her husband had left her his money and deeds,
Resolved she was on her conjugal rights
And to soften her sorrows with Nine Times a Night.
So she’s called to her serving maids Ann and Amelia
To keep a watch out for this wonderful sailor,
And if ever he happened to chance in their sight
To bring her fond tidings of Nine Times a Night.
She was favoured by fortune the very next day
These two giggling girls saw him coming their way.
They’ve rushed up the stairs full of amorous delight,
Crying, “There comes that sailor with his nine times a night.”
She’s jumped out of bed and she’s pulled on her clothes
And straight to the hall door like lightning she goes.
She’s looked him once over and give him a smack
And the bargain was struck: no more sailing for Jack.
The wedding was over, the bride tolled the bell,
Jack trimmed her sails five times and that pleased her well.
She vowed to herself she was satisfied, quite
But she still gives sly hints about nine times a night.
Says Jack, “My dear bride, you mistook me quite wrong,
I said to that family I did belong.
Nine times a night’s a bit hard for a man;
I couldn’t do it myself, but my sister, she can.”
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you”
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say “Nighty-night” and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
The night is young, the skies are clear
And if you want to go walking, dear,
It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely.
I understand the reason why
You’re sentimental, ’cause so am I,
It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely.
You can tell at a glance
What a swell night this is for romance,
You can hear dear Mother Nature
Murmuring low,
“Let yourself go!”
So please be sweet, my chickadee,
And when I kiss you, just say to me,
“It’s delightful, it’s delicious,
It’s delectable, it’s delirious,
It’s dilemma, it’s delimit, it’s deluxe,
It’s de-lovely.”
I feel a sudden urge to sing
The kind of ditty that invokes the spring.
So control your desire to curse
While I crucify the verse.
This verse you’ve started seems to me
The Tin-Pantithesis of melody
So spare me, please, the pain,
Just skip the damn thing and sing the refrain.
Mi, mi, mi, mi,
Re, re, re, re,
Do, sol, mi, do, la, si.
The night is young, the skies are clear
And if you want to go walking, dear,
It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely.
I understand the reason why
You’re sentimental, ’cause so am I,
It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely.
You can tell at a glance
What a swell night this is for romance,
You can hear dear Mother Nature
Murmuring low,
“Let yourself go!”
So please be sweet, my chickadee,
And when I kiss you, just say to me,
“It’s devine, dear”
“It’s de-veen, dear”
“It’s de-wunderbar”
“It’s de-victory”
“It’s de-velop, it’s de-vinner, it’s de-voix”
“It’s de-lovely.”
So please be sweet, my chickadee,
And when I kiss you, just say to me,
“It’s delightful, it’s delicious,
It’s . . . It’s de-lovely.”
“No romance,” said Juliet, “I haven’t left school yet
We’re friends, just friends.”
Said Samson, “Delilah? She’s my hair-styler
We’re friends, just friends.”
Said Mrs Fitzherbert, “My friend is Prince Regent.
I scorn every slur, but one must be obedient.”
“Who’s Abelard?” said Heloise, “He’s not my fellow, ’e’s
A friend, just a friend.”
Said Hero and Leander, “It’s noothin’ but slander,
We’re chums, just chums.”
Said Troilus and Cressida, “Don’t-a believe-a da press-ida,
We’re friends.”
When they whispered Napoleon pays Josephine’s rent,
“Nonsense,” said Bonaparte, “She lives on her own-a-part,
In her own apartment.”
Said Orpheus and Euridice (but that’s all sub judice).
So guard against gossip and take every care
Lest some blameless escutcheon you blot
Such models of friendship are precious and rare
Though the friendship of models is not!
Oh yeah, I’ll tell you somethin’
I think you’ll understand
When I say that somethin’
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Oh please say to me
You’ll let me be your man
And please say to me
You’ll let me hold your hand
Now, let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It’s such a feelin’ that my love
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
Yeah, you got that somethin’
I think you’ll understand
When I say that somethin’
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It’s such a feelin’ that my love
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
Yeah, you got that somethin’
I think you’ll understand
When I feel that somethin’
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
If we still have time, we might still get by
Every time I think about it, I want to cry
With bombs and the devil, and the kids keep comin’
No way to breathe easy, no time to be young
But I tell myself that I was doin’ all right
There’s nothin’ left to do at night
But go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh
My love is the evenin’ breeze touchin’ your skin
The gentle, sweet singin’ of leaves in the wind
The whisper that calls after you in the night
And kisses your ear in the early moonlight
And you don’t need to wonder, you’re doing fine
My love, the pleasure’s mine
Let me go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh
Wild man’s world is cryin’ in pain
What you gonna do when everybody’s insane?
So afraid of one who’s so afraid of you
What you gonna do? Oh
Ooh crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you
I was a willow last night in a dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
Sang you the song that I heard up above
And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love
Crazy
Yeah, crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh
Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, yeah
Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh
Cold late night, so long ago
When I was not so strong, you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
I could not run away
It seemed we’d seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me
Yeah
“Come on home, girl,”
He said with a smile
“You don’t have to love me yet
Let’s get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
I’m a magic man.”
Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Well summer lover, passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she’s worried
Growing up in a hurry
Yeah
“Come on home, girl,”
Mama cried on the phone
“Too soon to lose my baby
Yet my girl should be at home.”
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
He’s a magic man, Mama
Aaa
He’s a magic man
“Come on home, girl,”
He said with a smile
“I cast my spell of love on you
A woman from a child.”
But try to understand
Try to understand
Ohh ohh
Try, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
He’s a magic man
Oh yeah
(Ooh)
He got magic hands
Aaa
Aaa
Aaa
Aaa
“Come on home, girl,”
He said with a smile
“You don’t have to love me yet
Let’s get high awhile.”
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
He’s a magic man
Yeah ohh
Do you believe in magic in a young girl’s heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it’s magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I’ll tell you about the magic, and it’ll free your soul
But it’s like trying to tell a stranger ’bout rock and roll
If you believe in magic don’t bother to choose
If it’s jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen it’ll start with a smile
It won’t wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can’t seem to find
How you got there, so just blow your mind
If you believe in magic, come along with me
We’ll dance until morning ’til there’s just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I’ll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we’ll go dancing, baby, then you’ll see
How the magic’s in the music and the music’s in me
Yeah, do you believe in magic
Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl’s soul
Believe in the magic of rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking ’bout magic
Do you believe like I believe (Do you believe in magic)
Do you believe like I believe (Do you believe, believer)
Do you believe like I believe (Do you believe in magic)
He is like fire, burning through time
As old as forever, but fast in his prime
I saw his blue spaceship materialize
He looked out and said to me “Run for your life!”
I don’t know why I never thought to ask him for his name
But I really don’t think he’d have told me the truth anyway
But that’s okay
It’s completely terrifying, but it’s so, so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I’ve been; there’s so much more to see
We’ve got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running to do
As a full-time companion he gave me a key
And a phone with a signal in every galaxy
As we fell through the vortex I felt so free
Please don’t let this danger just be another dream
’Cause my life before you was unreasonably mundane
I’ve never been happier although we face death every day
I wouldn’t have it any other way
It’s completely terrifying, but it’s so, so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I’ve been; there’s so much more to see
We’ve got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running to do
And you know you can fix that Chameleon Circuit if you try hot-wiring the
Fragment Links and superseding the Binary Binary Binary Binary Binary Binary
It’s completely terrifying, but it’s so, so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I’ve been; there’s so much more to see
We’ve got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running to do
There once was a boy named Harry
Destined to be a star
His parents were killed by Voldemort
Who gave him a lightning scar
Yo Harry! You’re a wizard!
Harry goes to Hogwarts
He meets Ron and Hermione
McGonagall requires he play for Gryffindor
Draco is a daddy’s boy
Quirrell becomes unemployed
The Sorcerer’s Stone is destroyed by Dumbledore
Ron breaks his wand
Now Ginny’s gone
And Harry’s in mortal danger
Tom Riddle hides his snake inside
His ginormous secret chamber
Harry blows up Aunt Marge
The Dementors come and take charge
Lupin is a wolf
The rat’s a man
And now the prisoner is at large
They use time travel so they can
Save the prisoner of Azkaban
Who just so happens to be Harry’s godfather
I don’t really get it either
Harry gets put in the
Triwizard Tournament
With dragons and mermaids
Oh no!
Edward Cullen gets slayed
He’s back
Harry, Harry, it’s getting scary
Voldemort’s back and you are a revolutionary, Harry
Dumbledore, Dumbledore why is he ignoring your
Constant attempts to contact him?
He is forced to leave the school
Umbridge arrives, Draco’s a tool
Kids break into the Ministry
Sirius Black is dead as can be
Oh, split your soul
Seven parts of a whole
They’re horcruxes
It’s Dumbledore’s end
There once was a boy named Harry
Who constantly conquered death
But in one final duel between good and bad
He may take his final breath
Hello, boys and girls, I am the Doctor
but not the kind that gives you medicine.
I’ve traveled throughout time and space
just to please the human race,
so let’s not dilly-dally, let’s begin.
Now, this thing you see here, it is my TARDIS,
and with it we shall get this party started.
Time and Relative Dimension
in Space—it’s quite an invention.
Some call it the Doctor’s wife.
Excuse me while I slip inside...
You know it’s
bigger on the inside,
it’s bigger on the inside.
Once you’ve felt it inside,
I’m sure that you’ll agree.
It’s bigger on the inside,
but don’t take it from me:
Once you’ve felt it inside, you will see.
An evil nemesis we call the Master
baits me into all kinds of disaster.
On Gallifrey, or so I’m told,
he gazed into a gaping hole,
and ever since, he’s been an awful bastard.
And then of course we’ve got the Cybermen.
I hope I never see those things again.
Who knows what they’re packing there
in their silver underwear?
When you see them, you should vacate:
your ass they wish to ’similate.
You know it’s
bigger on the inside,
it’s bigger on the inside.
Once you’ve felt it inside,
I’m sure that you’ll agree.
It’s bigger on the inside,
but don’t take it from me:
Once you’ve felt it inside, you will see.
And pray you don’t see any Weeping Angels,
’cause though it seems that they are made of stone,
they’re quantum locked, and in a wink,
if you turn your head or blink,
they’ll get to you and chill you to the bone... er.
Those moving buckets there, they are the Daleks.
They whine so much you’d swear that they have colic.
It’s DESTROY and EXTERMINATE;
I think I know why they’re irate.
If they make it to the second floor,
I’ll show them what that plunger’s for!
You know it’s
bigger on the inside,
it’s bigger on the inside.
Once you’ve felt it inside,
I’m sure that you’ll agree.
It’s bigger on the inside,
but don’t take it from me:
Once you’ve felt it inside, you will see.
They’re asking, “Doctor Who?”
What they should ask is “HOW?”
I am so very well endowed;
I must admit, it’s rather long.
If you think I mean my scarf, you’re wrong!
You bloody pervs, I meant this song!
So if you think you’d like a sonic screw...
driver like I’m holding in my hand,
you will have to let me in—
don’t worry, child, it’s not a sin.
Hold on to my temporal drive;
I’ll take you for an epic ride!
You know it’s
bigger on the inside,
it’s bigger on the inside.
Once you’ve felt it inside,
I’m sure that you’ll agree.
It’s bigger on the inside,
but don’t take it from me...
Ask Amy Pond!
Once you’ve felt it inside, you will see.
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome, some day.
Oh, deep in my heart,
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day.
We’ll walk hand in hand,
We’ll walk hand in hand,
We’ll walk hand in hand, some day.
Oh, deep in my heart,
We shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace, some day.
Oh, deep in my heart,
We shall all be free,
We shall all be free,
We shall all be free, some day.
Oh, deep in my heart,
We are not afraid,
We are not afraid,
We are not afraid, TODAY
Oh, deep in my heart,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome, some day.
Oh, deep in my heart,
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day.
Hey hey, sweet darlin’
Let’s go dancing tonight.
My clock has been ticking
It tells me the timin’s just right.
Well I woke up this mornin’
With a feeling I call lonesome and blue, yeah.
And there’s no need in asking—’cause I know
You feel the same way too.
Hey hey sweet darlin’
Let’s lay the whole thing down
Well, this world if you let it,
Will drive you into the ground
I got twenty dollars and I know
That it can get us by the door,
Oh when the band starts playing
How could they ask us for more?
We may do the bump and grind
Shake around our little behinds
Do some things that you normally do
On a Saturday night—hey, hey, that’s all right
We may drink a little too much.
We may lose our fancy touch
And step outta line with reality
That’s the way it should be.
And there’s no need in asking—’cause I know
You feel the same way too.
Hey hey sweet darlin’
A lot of our words have been unkind.
Oh, but that was yesterday
Why don’t we leave the past behind.
Well, you know that I love you
And you know that I’ll always be true.
And there’s no need in asking—’cause I know
You feel the same way too.
We may do the bump and grind
Shake around our little behinds
Do some things that you normally do
On a Saturday night—hey, hey, that’s all right
We may drink a little too much.
May lose our fancy touch
And step outta line with reality
That’s the way it should be.
And there’s no need in asking—’cause I know
You feel the same way too.
And there’s no need in asking—’cause I know
You feel the same way too.
One more...
And there’s no need in asking—’cause I know
You feel the same way too.
Hey, hey, hey, heyyyyy.
Hey, hey, hey, heyyyyy.
Hey, hey, heyyyyyyyy.
I can hear the bells, well, don’t you hear ’em chime?
Can’t you feel my heartbeat keeping perfect time?
And all because he touched me, he looked at me and stared
Yes, he bumped me, my heart was unprepared
When he tapped me and knocked me off my feet
One little touch, now my life’s complete
’Cause when he nudged me, love put me in a fix
Yes, it hit me just like a ton of bricks
Yes, my heart burst, now I know what life’s about
One little touch and love’s knocked me out
And I can hear the bells, my head is spinning
I can hear the bells, something’s beginning
Everybody says that a girl who looks like me
Can’t win his love, well, just wait and see
’Cause I can hear the bells, just hear them chiming
I can hear the bells, my temperature’s climbing
I can’t contain my joy
’Cause I finally found the boy I’ve been missing
Listen, I can hear the bells
Round one, he’ll ask me on a date
And then round two, I’ll primp but won’t be late
Because round three’s when we kiss inside his car
Won’t go all the way, but I’ll go pretty far
Round four, he’ll ask me for my hand
And then round five, we’ll book the wedding band
So by round six, Amber, much to your surprise
This heavyweight champion takes the prize
And I can hear the bells, my ears are ringing
I can hear the bells, the bridesmaids are singing
Everybody says that a guy who’s such a gem
Won’t look my way, well, the laugh’s on them
’Cause I can hear the bells, my father will smile
I can hear the bells as he walks me down the aisle
My mother starts to cry
But I can’t see ’cause Link and I are French kissing
Listen, I can hear the bells
I can hear the bells, my head is reeling
I can hear the bells, I can’t stop the pealing
Everybody warns that he won’t like what he’ll see
But I know that he’ll look inside of me, yeah
I can hear the bells, today’s just the start ’cause
I can hear the bells and ’til death do us part
And even when we die, we’ll look down from up above
Remembering the night that we two fell in love
We both will shed a tear
And he’ll whisper as we’re reminiscing
Listen, I can hear the bells (We can hear the bells)
I can hear the bells (We can hear the bells)
I can hear the bells
