Somewhere there’s music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there’s heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Until it comes true
That you love me as I love you
(“How High the Moon,” Les Paul and Mary Ford)
We’re an all time high
We’ll change all that’s gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high
We’ll take on the world and win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
I was travellin’ down the road feelin’ hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin’ “Food and Drinks for Everyone”
So naturally, I thought I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food there was water coming from my eyes
Yeah, there was ham and there was turkey, there was caviar
And long tall glasses with wine up to y’are
Then somebody grabbed me, threw me out of my chair
Said, “Before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire”
Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean
Picture of a beauty queen
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
Ginger Rogers, dance on air
Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean
(James Dean)
Einstein, James Dean, Brooklyn’s got a winning team
Davy Crockett, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland
Bardot, Budapest, Alabama, Krushchev
Princess Grace, “Peyton Place”, trouble in the Suez
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning since the world’s been turning
Carly Simon, I behold her, Rolling Stones and centerfoldin’
Johnny Cash and Johnny Rivers, can’t stop now, I got the shivers
Mungo Jerry, Peter Peter Paul and Paul and Mary Mary
Dr. John the nightly tripper, Doris Day and Jack the Ripper
Gotta go Sir, gotta swelter, Leon Russell, Gimme Shelter
Now you say you’re lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
CRY ME A RIVER Ella Fitzgerald
It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
And what have we done? (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
And a new one just begun (Now)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
We hope you have fun (If you want it)
The near and the dear ones (War is over)
The old and the young (Now)
Rip it up, move down
Rip it up, move it down to the ground
Rip it up, cool down
Rip it up, don’t hang me on the borderline
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
[Everybody Wang Chung tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Wang Chung tonight
Everybody have fun
I’m gonna rock it up, I’m gonna rip it up,
I’m gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up,
I’m gonna rock it up, and ball tonight.
After the ball is over, after the break of morn
After the dancers leaving, after the stars are gone
Many a heart is aching, if you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished, after the ball
Mornin’ girl, how’d ya sleep last night?
You’re sev’ral ages older now
Your eyes have started showin’ how
The little girl’s growin’ now
This girl tasted love, as tender as the gentle dawn
She cried a single tear, a tear drop that was sweet and warm
Our hearts told us we were right
And on that sweet and velvet night
Child had died, a woman had been born
No, I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
We love you.
Call collect.
We love you
We love you
And we hope that you will love “we” too
I am he
As you are he
As you are me
And we are all together
