I want to break free  
I want to break free  
I want to break free from your lies  
You’re so self-satisfied, I don’t need you  
I’ve got to break free  
God knows, God knows I want to break free

I feel free, I feel free, I feel free.  
I can walk down the street, there’s no one there  
Though the pavements are one huge crowd.  
I can drive down the road; my eyes don’t see,  
Though my mind wants to cry out loud,  
Though my mind wants to cry out loud.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord  
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored  
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword  
His truth is marching on

So if you’re down on your luck  
And you can’t harmonize  
Find a girl with far away eyes  
And if you’re downright disgusted  
And life ain’t worth a dime  
Get a girl with far away eyes

Well, that’s what you are

You got a fast car  
I want a ticket to anywhere  
Maybe we make a deal  
Maybe together we can get somewhere  
Any place is better  
Starting from zero got nothing to lose  
Maybe we’ll make something  
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove

I wanna be a big shot  
And have 90 cars  
I wanna have a boyfriend  
And a girl for laughs

But only on Saturdays  
Six days to be alone  
With just me, myself, I  
Me, myself and I  
Just me myself, I

“The girl with colitis goes by…”

In play:

I don’t care if Monday’s blue  
Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too  
Thursday, I don’t care about you  
It’s Friday, I’m in love  
Monday, you can fall apart  
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart  
Oh, Thursday doesn’t even start  
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Saturday, wait  
And Sunday always comes too late  
But Friday, never hesitate

It’s a Saturday night at the world  
I am thinking about a girl  
And how useless to search it becomes  
When you find all the answers in one

Another Saturday night  
And I ain’t got nobody  
I got some money  
'Cause I just got paid  
How I wish I had someone  
To talk to  
I’m in an awful state

Believe it or not, I started to worry  
I wondered if I had enough class  
But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right  
And you say: “Baby, have you got enough gas?”  
Oh yeah

The first time ever I saw your face  
I thought the sun rose in your eyes.  
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave  
To the dark and the endless skies.

Are the stars out tonight?  
I don’t know if it′s cloudy or bright  
′Cause I only have eyes for you, dear  
The moon may be high  
But I can’t see a thing in the sky  
′Cause I only have eyes for you

I don’t know if we′re in a garden  
Or on a crowded avenue  
You are here, so am I  
Maybe millions of people go by  
But they all disappear from view  
And I only have eyes for you

_I only have eyes for you, Frank Sinatra_
