The last time that I saw Marie
She was waving me goodbye,
With hurry home drops on her cheek
That trickled from her eyes.
Marie is only six years old.
Information please,
Help me get in touch with her
In Memphis Tennessee.
Time’s standing still waiting for some small clue.
I keep getting chills when I think your love is true.
I’ve been a fool before;
Wouldn’t like to get my love caught in the slammin’ door.
How about some information, please?
Straight up, now tell me ,
Do you really wanna love me forever,
Oh, oh, or am I caught in hit and run?
Straight up, now tell me,
Is it gonna be you and me together,
Oh, oh, oh, or are you just havin’ fun
Lights. We’re dazzled by the lights.
We wander in the nights, the dreamers start believing.
Words are whispered in the night
And for a while we’re safe, a kiss can be deceiving.
Hands and faces whirl around, a half remembered sound
The sleeping heart is waking.
When you want to fall in love, you may find less than love
But that’s a chance worth taking.
Blamin’ it all on the nights on Broadway.
Singin’ them love songs,
Singin’ them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin’ it all on the nights on Broadway.
Singin’ them sweet sounds,
To that crazy, crazy town.
They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway (on Broadway)
They say there’s always magic in the air (on Broadway)
But when you’re walkin’ down that street
And you ain’t got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you’re nowhere
We’ve got magic to do
Just for you
We’ve got miracle plays to play
We’ve got parts to perform
Hearts to warm
Kings and things to take by storm
As we go along our way
A troupe of strolling players are we,
Not stars like L.B. Mayer’s are we,
But just a simple band
Who roams about the land
Dispensing fol-de-rol frivolity.
Mere folk who give distraction are we,
No Theater Guild attraction are we,
But just a crazy group
That never ceases to troop
Around the map of little Italy.
We open in Venice
Better mention “The Merchant of Venice”
When her sweet pound o’ flesh you would menace
In her virtue, at first, she defends—well
Just remind her that “All’s Well Tat Ends Well”
And if still she won’t give you a bonus
You know what Venus did to Adonis
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they’ll all kow-tow - Thinkist thou?
And they’ll all kow-tow - Odds bodkins
And they’ll all kow-tow
Valentine is done
Here but now they’re gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (Like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (Redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (We can be like they are)
Forty thousand headmen couldn’t make me change my mind
If I had to take the choice between the deaf man and the blind
I know just where my feet should go and that’s enough for me
I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea
Where are you going my little one, little one?
Where are you going my baby my own?
Turn around and you’re two, turn around and you’re four,
Turn around and you’re a young girl going out of the door.
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
(Turn around, bright eyes)
(Turn around)
So many nights I’d sit by my window,
Waiting for someone to sing me his song.
So many dreams I kept deep inside me,
Alone in the dark, but now you’ve come along.
And you light up my life,
You give me hope to carry on,
You light up my days, and fill my nights with song…
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it
But we tried to fight it
Some damn fool is starting a fight.
Why does he wait for Saturday night?
Mary and Eddie are busy indeed
Making up for lost time in the rear.
George is beginning to faint while a stranger
Is sticking her tongue in his ear.
Dave is conducting the next revolution
Someone is granting the crowd absolution.
Whoever is running her foot up my leg I love you.
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
All right, all right, all right
So glad we’ve almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
In violent times
You shouldn’t have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn’t have to jump for joy
You shouldn’t have to shout for joy
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Stop pressurin’ me
Make me wanna scream
