Salt and Pepa’s here, and we’re in effect  
Want you to push it, babe  
Coolin’ by day then at night working up a sweat  
C’mon girls, let’s go, show the guys that we know  
How to become number one in a hot party show  
Now push it

You’re pushin’ too hard, pushin’ on me  
You’re pushin’ too hard, what you want me to be  
You’re pushin’ too hard about the things you say  
You’re pushin’ too hard every night and day  
You’re pushin’ too hard  
Pushin’ too hard on me (too hard)

You’re the only one for me  
I’m the only one for you  
Baby, can’t you see  
You’re still the only one?  
Each and every night I pray  
Hoping there will come a day  
When baby, you’ll believe  
You’re still the only one

You’re still the one I run to  
The one that I belong to  
You’re still the one I want for life  
(You’re still the one)  
You’re still the one that I love  
The only one I dream of  
You’re still the one I kiss goodnight

What should I do I’m just a little baby  
What if the lights go out and maybe  
And then the wind just starts to moan  
Outside the door he followed me home

Now goodnight moon  
I want the sun  
If it’s not here soon  
I might be done  
No it won’t be too soon 'til I say  
Goodnight moon

And so the time has come  
And so, my love, I must go  
And though I lose a friend  
In the end, you will know  
One day you’ll find that I have gone  
But tomorrow may rain, so  
I’ll follow the sun

Here comes the sun  
Here comes the sun  
And I say, it’s all right

Little darling  
It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter  
Little darling  
It feels like years since it’s been here

Everybody seems to know when he’s around  
He lifts me up and fades without a sound  
Mr. Sun won’t you shine on me?

Why he is here I will never know  
He makes you know you feel  
Like somewhere to go

Mr. Sun won’t you shine on me?  
Mr. Sun just shine

Walking with the man called Sun  
I think my journey’s just begun  
Do you think he’ll mind?

By the light (not the dark but the light)  
Of the silvery moon (not the sun but the moon)  
I wanna spoon (not croon, but spoon)  
To my honey, I’ll croon love’s tune  
Honeymoon (honeymoon, honeymoon)  
Keep a-shinin’ in June  
Your silvery beams will bring love’s dreams  
We’ll be cuddlin’ soon (soon)  
By the silvery moon

Blue moon, you saw me standing alone  
Without a dream in my heart  
Without a love of my own  
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for  
You heard me saying a prayer for  
Someone I really could care for

Now we’ve got all this room, we’ve even got the moon  
And I hear the U.S.S.R will be open soon  
As vacation land for lawyers in love

Show me round the snow-peaked mountains way down south  
Take me to your daddy’s farm  
Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out  
Come and keep your comrade warm

I’m back in the USSR  
You don’t know how lucky you are, boy  
Back in the USSR

She wanted to test her husband  
She knew exactly what to do  
A pseudonym to fool him  
She couldn’t have made a worse move

She sent him scented letters,  
And he received them with a strange delight.  
Just like his wife  
But how she was before the tears,  
And how she was before the years flew by,  
And how she was when she was beautiful.  
She signed the letter

"All yours,  
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!

Mamushka! Mamushka! I doff my old babushka!  
With a hey and a hey and a hey and a hey and a dance of brotherly love!  
Just kill the Carioca, continental Susie Q!  
Garrotte the old Gavotte and disembowel the Dipsy Doo!  
Mamushka! Mamushka! Let´s dance it like Petrushka!  
With a hey and a hey and a hey and a hey and a dance of brotherly love!

I was a butcher cutting up meat  
My hands were bloody, I’m dying on my feet  
I was a surgeon 'til I start to shake  
I was a-falling 'til you put on the brakes

Hey, hey, you got me rocking now  
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now  
Hey, hey, you got me rocking now

Three A.M. on a Saturday  
Toes touching on the couch as I sigh and say,  
“I’ve accepted my fate with you”  
You smiled and you knew  
That was your cue

Dinner with our feet up  
Making love with just our socks on  
And realizing that I miss ya  
But if we called it tomorrow, I wouldn’t blame ya

A show of strength  
Is all you want  
You can never set it down

Guts and passion  
Those things you can’t  
Even set down

All those things you think might count  
You can’t ever set them down  
Don’t ever set them down  
Never set them down

Hey, I came in right on cue  
One is me and one is you

You’ll be back, like before  
I will fight the fight and win the war  
For your love, for your praise  
And I’ll love you til my dying days  
When you’re gone, I’ll go mad  
So don’t throw away this thing we had  
Cuz when push comes to shove  
I will kill your friends and family…  
To remind you of my love
