BROADWAY
1 - ONE – A Chorus Line One, Singular sensation Ev'ry little step she takes.
One, Thrilling combination Ev'ry move that she makes.
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do.
You know you'll never be lonely with you-know-who.
One, moment in her presence and you can forget the rest,
For the girl is second best to none, son.
Ooh! Sigh! Give her your attention.
Do I really have to mention? She's the one!
Repeat -
2 - WHAT I DID FOR LOVE – A Chorus Line Kiss today goodbye, the sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret, what I did for love, what I did for love.
Look my eyes are dry, the gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget what I did for love, What I did for love.
Gone, love is never gone. as we travel on, love's what we'll remember.
Kiss today goodbye, and point me t'ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Brunch Hymnal

Won't forget, can't regret what I did for Love
3- MEAN TO ME – Ain’t Misbehavin’ You're mean to me, why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me you love to see me cryin'
I don't know why
I stay home each night when you say you phone
You don't and I'm left alone. singin’ the blues and sighin'
You treat me coldly each day in the year
You always scold me whenever somebody is near, dear
It must be great fun to be mean to me, you shouldn't, for can't you see
What you mean to me
4 - I CAN’T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE – Ain’t Misbehavin I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dreamin’ a while, schemin’ a while we're sure to find
Happiness and I guess all those things you've always pined for
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
Till that lucky day, you know darned well, baby
I can't give you anything but love
5 - MAYBE – Annie Maybe far away or maybe real nearby
Brunch Hymnal
8
He may be pouring her coffee, She may be straightening his tie.
Maybe in a house all hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano,, He's sitting paying a bill!
Betcha they're young, betcha they're smart
Bet they collect things like ashtrays, and art!
Betcha they're good -- (Why shouldn't they be?)
Their one mistake was giving up me!
So maybe now it's time, and maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "Baby"...
Maybe.
Betcha he reads, betcha she sews
Maybe she's made me a closet of clothes!
Maybe they're strict as straight as a line...
Don't really care as long as they're mine!
So maybe now this prayer's the last one of it's kind...
Won't you please come get your "Baby"
Maybe…
6 - IT’S A HARD KNOCK LIFE – Annie It's the hard-knock life for us!, It's the hard-knock life for us!
Brunch Hymnal

'Steada treated, we get tricked!
‘Steada kisses, we get kicked!
It's the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so, it's the hard-knock row we hoe!
Cotton blankets, 'steada of wool!
Empty Bellies ‘steada of full!
It's the hard-knock life!
Santa Claus we never see, Santa Claus, what's that? Who's he?
No one cares for you a smidge when you're in an orphanage!
It's the hard-knock life for us, It's the hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in an orphanage
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life!
7 – TOMMOROW – Annie The sun'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow there'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about tomorrow
Brunch Hymnal
10
Clears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow ‘til there's none!
When I'm stuck with a day that's gray, and lonely,
I just stick out my chin and grin, and say, Oh!
The sun'll come out tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always a day away!
8 - DOIN’ WHAT COMES NATUR’LLY – Annie Get Your Gun Folks are dumb where I come from, they ain't had any learning.
Still they're happy as can be doin' what comes naturally!
Folks like us could never fuss with schools and books and learning.
Still we've gone from A to Z, doin' what comes naturally!
If you saw my pa and ma, you'd know they had no learning,
Still they've raised a family doin' what comes naturally!
Cousin Jack has never read an almanac on drinking
Still he's always on the spree doin' what comes naturally!
Sister Sal who's musical has never had a lesson, still she's learned to sing off-key
Doin' what comes naturally!
Brunch Hymnal
11
Grandpa Bill is on the hill with someone he just married.
There he is at ninety-three,
Doin' what comes naturally!
9 – I GOT THE SUN IN THE MORNING – Annie Get Your Gun Got no diamond, got no pearl, still I think I'm a lucky girl.
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
Got no mansion, got no yacht, still I'm happy with what I got.
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Sunshine gives me a lovely day, moonlight gives me the Milky Way.
Got no checkbooks, got no banks, still, I'd like to express my thanks.
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
And with the sun in the morning
And the moon in the evening, I'm alright.
And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening
I'm alright!!
10 – THERE’S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS – Annie Get Your Gun There's no business like show business like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
No where could you have that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow
Brunch Hymnal
12
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you you would not go far
That night you opened and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star
Let's go on with the show
Let's go on with the show!
11 - IT’S DE-LOVELY – Anything Goes The night is young, the skies are clear so 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".

12 – THE LADY IS A TRAMP – Babes in Arms I get too hungry for dinner at eight, I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate, that's why the lady is a tramp!
I don't like crap games with Barons and Earls,
won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls, that's why the lady is a tramp!
I like the free fresh wind in my hair, life without care, I'm broke, it's oke!
Hates california is cold and is damp, that's why the lady is a tramp
13 – BEAUTY AND THE BEAST – Beauty and the Beast Tale as old as time, True as it can be,
Barely even friends, Then somebody bends, unexpectedly.
Just a little change, small to say the least, both a little scared
Neither one prepared, Beauty and the Beast.
Ever just the same…Ever a surprise,…Ever as before… Ever just as sure…
As the sun will rise.
Brunch Hymnal
14
Tale as old as time, Tune as old as song, Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change, Learning you were wrong.
Certain as the sun, Rising in the east
Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast.
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast.
14 - BE OUR GUEST – Beauty and the Beast Be our guest! Be our guest! Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie and we provide the rest
Soup du jour, Hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious. Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
They can sing, they can dance after all, Miss, this is France
And a dinner here is never second best
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest!
Be our guest! Be our guest! Get your worries off your chest
Brunch Hymnal
15
Let us say for your entrée we've an array; may we suggest:
Try the bread! Try the soup! When the croutons loop de loop
It's a treat for any diner
Don't belive me? Ask the china
Singing pork! Dancing veal! What an entertaining meal!
How could anyone be gloomy and depressed? We'll make you shout "encore!"
And send us out for more
So, be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Please, be our guest!
15 – JUST IN TIME – Bells are Ringing Just in time, I found you just in time, Before you came my time Was running low
I was lost, The losing dice were tossed, My bridges all were crossed
Nowhere to go…
Now you're here and now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fear, I found my way
For love came just in time You found me just in time
And saved my lonely life that lovely day...
Brunch Hymnal

16 – PUT ON A HAPPY FACE – Bye Bye Birdie Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face!
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face!
Take off that gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style.
You'll look so good that you'll be glad ya decided to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin,
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look,
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place, just
Put on a happy face!
17 – KIDS – Bye Bye Birdie Kids!
I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!
Kids!
Who can understand anything they say?
Kids!
They a disobedient, disrespectful oafs!
Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy, loafers!
Brunch Hymnal
17
While we're on the subject:
Kids!
You can talk and talk till your face is blue!
Kids!
But they still just do what they want to do!
Why can't they be like we were,
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?
18 – CAMELOT – Camelot A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are.
The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
Brunch Hymnal
18
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.
19 – IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE YOU - Camelot If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer.
Seeing you in summer I never would go.
Your hair streaked with sun-light,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face witha lustre
that puts gold to shame!
Brunch Hymnal
19
But if I'd ever leave you,
It couldn't be in autumn.
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know.
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air.
I know you in autumn
And I must be there.
And could I leave you
running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
when you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you,
How could it be in spring-time?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! not in spring-time!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!
20– YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE – Carousel When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
Brunch Hymnal
20
At he end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.
21 – MEMORY – Cats Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
Brunch Hymnal
21
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
Brunch Hymnal
22
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look - A new day has begun
22 – EMBRACEABLE YOU – Crazy for You Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you,
Embrace me,
My irreplaceable you
Just one look at you -- my heart grew tipsy in me.
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all I want my arms about you!
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to Polly -- come to Polly -- do!
My sweet embraceable you.
23 – SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME – Crazy for You There's a saying old
Says that love is blind -
Still we're often told,
"Seek and ye shalI find."
So I'm going to seek
A certain lad I've had in mind.
Brunch Hymnal
23
Looking everywhere,
Haven't found him yet;
He's the big affair
I cannot forget.
Only man I ever
Think of with regret.
I'd like to add his initials to my monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood.
I know I could
Always be good
To one who'll watch over me.
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key.
Won't you telI him please to put on some speed -
Follow my lead -
Oh! How I need
Someone to watch over me.
Someone to watch over me.

24 – WHAT EVER LOLA WANTS – Damn Yankees Whatever Lola wants

Amke up your mind to have no regrets
Recline yourself, resign yourself, you're through

I'm irresistible, you fool,
Give in...Give in...Give in.
25 – TRY TO REMEMBER – The Fantastics Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Brunch Hymnal
26
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow, follow, follow, follow, follow…
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
And follow, follow, follow, follow, follow…
26 – IF I WERE A RICH MAN – Fiddler on the Roof If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
Wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.
Brunch Hymnal
27
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen,
Right in the middle of the town.
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below.
There would be one long staircase just going up,
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show.
If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.
27 – HOW ARE THINGS IN GLOCCA MORRA – Finnians Rainbow How are things in Glocca Morra? Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down to Donny cove? Through Killybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare?
How are things in Glocca Morra? Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Brunch Hymnal
28
Does that laddie (lassie) with the twinklin' eye Come whistlin' (smilin') by
And does he (she) walk away, Sad and dreamy there not to see me there?

Brunch Hymnal

my eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know,
there's just no gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around

But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else

I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,

30 – SUMMER NIGHTS – Grease Summer lovin' had me a blast
Summer lovin', happened so fast
Brunch Hymnal
30
I met a girl crazy for me
I met a boy, cute as can be
Summer days driftin' away,
To uh-oh those summer nights
Well-a, Well-a, Well-a, uh
Tell me more, tell me more,
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more,
Like, does he have a car?
She swam by me, she got a cramp
He went by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun,
But uh-oh those summer nights
Well-a, Well-a, Well-a, uh
Tell me more, tell me more,
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more,
Did she put up a fight?
Brunch Hymnal
31
Took her bowlin' in the Arcade
We went strollin', drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
we stayed up til ten o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing,
But uh-oh those summer nights
Well-a, Well-a, Well-a, uh
Tell me more, tell me more,
But you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more,
Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly, holdin' my hand
Well she got friendly, down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
Well she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet,
But uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more,
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more,
Brunch Hymnal
32
Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder, that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doin' now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams,
But oh, those summer nights
31 – THERE ARE WORSE THINGS I COULD DO – Grease There are worse things I could do,
than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood thinks
I'm trashy and no good I suppose it could be true,
but there are worse things I could do
I could stay every night, wait around for Mr. Right
Take Cold showers every day, and through my life away
for a dream that won’t come true, I could hurt someone like me
out of spite or jealousey, I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I cry
In fact I'll bet you never knew, but to cry in front of you,
that's the worse thing I could do.
I could flirt with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes.
Brunch Hymnal
33
Press against them when we dance,
make them think they stand a chance
and then refuse to see it through,
that's the thing I'd never do. I can stay home every night
Wait around for Mr. Right, take cold showers everyday,
and throw my life away, on a dream that won't come true
I could hurt someone like me, out of spite or jealousy,
I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I cry
In fact I'll bet you never knew, but to cry in front of you,
that's the worse thing I could do.
32 – IF I WERE A BELL – Guys and Dolls Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're cozy and clinging
Well sir, all I can say, is if I were a bell I'd be ringing!
From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I've just gotta behave
Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light
And If I were a banner I'd wave!
Ask me how do I feel, little me with my quiet upbringing
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a gate I'd be swinging!
And if I were a watch I'd start popping my springs!
Brunch Hymnal
34
Or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding!
Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson I'm learning.
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bridge I'd be burning!
Yes, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked!
Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack!
Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked!
Ask me how do I feel, ask me now that we're fondly caressing
Well, if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Or if I were a season, I’d surely be spring
Or, if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding!

"Tracy, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh

'Cause today all my dreams will come true
Good morning Baltimore
There's the flasher who lives next door

They wish me luck on my way to school
Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
I know every step
I know every song
I know there's a place where i belong
I see all those party lights shining ahead
So someone invite me
Before i drop dead!
So, Oh, Oh
Brunch Hymnal

Give me a chance
'Cause when i start to dance i'm a movie star

It's like a drummer inside my heart
Oh, oh, oh
Don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start...
I love you Baltimore

The world's gonna wake up and see

38 – BEFORE THE PARADE PASSES BY – Hello Dolly Before the parade passes by
I've gotta go and taste Saturday's high life
Before the parade passes by
I've gotta get some life back into my life
I'm ready to move out in front
I've had enough of just passing by life
With the rest of them
With the best of them
I can hold my head up high
For I've got a goal again
I've got a drive again
I wanna feel my heart coming alive again
Before the parade passes by
When the parade passes by
Listen and hear that brass harmony growing
When the parade passes by
Pardon me if my old spirit is showing
All of those lights over there
Seem to be telling me where I'm going
Brunch Hymnal
44
When the whistles blow
And the cymbals crash
And the sparklers light the sky
I'm gonna raise the roof
I'm gonna carry on
Give me an old trombone
Give me an old baton
Before the parade passes by!
39 – I DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM – Jesus Christ Superstar I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Brunch Hymnal
45
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool,
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.
40 – ANY DREAM WILL DO – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Brunch Hymnal
46
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
Brunch Hymnal
47
I was left alone
May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do, Any dream will do, Any dream will do.
41 – CLOSE EVERY DOOR – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Close every door to me,
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows
And shut out the light
Do what you want with me,
Hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime
And toture my night
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
Far from this world
Close every door to me,
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel
Brunch Hymnal
48
Are never alone
For I know I shall find
My own peace of mind
For I have been promised
A land of my own
Close every door to me,
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows
And shut out the light
Just give me a number
Instead of my name
Forget all about me
And let me decay
I do not matter,
I'm only one person
Destroy me completely
Then throw me away
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
Far from this world
Brunch Hymnal
49
Close every door to me,
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel
Are never alone
For we know we shall find
Our own peace of mind
For we have been promised
A land of our own
42 – I WHISTLE A HAPPY TUNE – The King and I Whenever I feel afraid
I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune
So no one will suspect
I'm Afraid.
While shivering in my shoes
I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune
And no one ever knows I'm afraid.
The result of this deception
Is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people I fear
I fool myself as well!
I whistle a happy tune
Brunch Hymnal
50
And ev'ry single time
The happiness in the tune
Convinces me that I'm not afraid.
43 – GETTING TO KNOW YOU – The King and I Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.
Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by Day
44 – ANOTHER OP’NIN’, ANOTHER SHOW – Kiss Me, Kate Another op'nin', another show
In Philly, Boston or Baltimo',
A chance for stage folks to say hello,
Brunch Hymnal
51
Another op'nin' of another show.
Another job that you hope, at last,
Will make your future forget your past,
Another pain where the ulcers grow,
Another op'nin' of another show.
Four weeks, you rehearse and rehearse,
Three weeks and it couldn't be worse,
One week, will it ever be right?
Then out o' the hat, it's that big first night!
The overture is about to start,
You cross your fingers and hold your heart,
It's curtain time and away we go!
Another op'nin' just another op’nin of another show
Just another op'nin' of another show.
45 – I AM WHAT I AM – La Cage Aux Folles I am what I am
I am my own special creation.
So come take a look,
Give me the hook or the ovation.
It's my world that I want to take a little pride in,
My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in.
Life's not worth a damn,
'Til you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am."
Brunch Hymnal
52
I am what I am,
I don't want praise, I don't want pity.
I bang my own drum,
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty.
And so what, if I love each feather and each spangle,
Why not try to see things from a diff'rent angle?
Your life is a sham 'til you can shout out loud
I am what I am!
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses.
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
There's one life, and there's no return and no deposit;
One life, so it's time to open up your closet.
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say,
"Hey world, I am what I am!"
46 – I DREAMED A DREAM – Les Miserables I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
Brunch Hymnal
53
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.
But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.
He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!
And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

47 – SEND IN THE CLOWNS – A Little Night Music Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want--
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.
Brunch Hymnal
55
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.
48 – SOMEWHERE THAT’S GREEN – Little Shop of Horrors I know Seymour's the greatest
But I'm dating a semi-sadist
So I've got a black eye
And my arm's in a cast.
Still, that Seymour's a cutie
Well, if not, he's got inner beauty
And I dream of a place
Where we could be together at last
A matchbox of our own
A fence of real chain link,
A grill out on the patio
Disposal in the sink
A washer and a dryer and an ironing machine
Brunch Hymnal
56
In a tract house that we share
Somewhere that's green.
He rakes and trims the grass
He loves to mow and weed
I cook like Betty Crocker
And I look like Donna Reed
There's plastic on the furniture
To keep it neat and clean
In the Pine-Sol scented air
Somewhere that's green
Between our frozen dinner
And our bedtime, nine-fifteen
We snuggle watchin' Lucy
On our big, enormous twelve-inch screen
I'm his December Bride
He's Father, he Knows Best
Our kids watch Howdy Doody
As the sun sets in the west
A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine
Far from Skid Row
Brunch Hymnal
57
I dream we'll go
somewhere that's green
49- WE NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS – Mame Haul out the holly;
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again.
Fill up the stocking,
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now.
For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute.
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
Slice up the fruitcake;
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
For I've grown a little leaner,
Grown a little colder,
Grown a little sadder,
Grown a little older,
Brunch Hymnal
58
And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder,
Need a little Christmas now.
50 – MAME – Mame You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame,
You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame,
You've got the banjoes strummin'
And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band,
The whole plantation's hummin'
Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land.
You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame,
You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame,
You make the old magnolia tree blossom at the mention of your name
You've made us feel alive again,
You've given us the drive again,
To make the South revive again, Mame.
You've brought the cake-walk back into style, Mame
You make the weepin' willow tree smile, Mame,
Your skin is Dixie satin,
There's rebel in your manner and your speech,
You may be from Manhattan,
But Georgia never had a sweeter peach.
Brunch Hymnal
59
You make our black eyed peas and our grits, Mame
You seem like the Bill of Fare at the Ritz, Mame
You came you saw, you conquered
and absolutely nothing is the same,
Your special fascinaita’ll, proved to be inspirational
We think you’re just sensational,
Mame!
51 – IMPOSSIBLE DREAM – Man of La Mancha To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go;
To right the unrightable wrong.
To love, pure and chaste, from afar,
To try, when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star!
This is my Quest to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
Brunch Hymnal
60
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause!
And I know, if I'll only be true
To this glorious Quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest.
And the world will be better for this,
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach the unreachable stars!
52 – JUST THE WAY YOU ARE – Movin’ Out Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Brunch Hymnal
61
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuo-
Sos, the cream of ev'ry famous band.
Seventy-six trombones caught the morning sun
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind
There were more than a thousand reeds
Springing up like weeds
There were horns of ev'ry shape and kind.
There were copper bottom tympani in horse platoons

Thundering, thundering all along the way.
Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons,
Each bassoon having it's big, fat say!
There were fifty mounted cannon in the battery
Thundering, thundering louder than before
Clarinets of ev'ry size
And trumpeters who'd improvise
A full octave higher than the score!

But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour Out of ev'ry door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!
And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near.
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!
People stop and stare. They don't bother me.
For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.

And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma, Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky.

You're doin' fine, Oklahoma!

That your lips are like cherrys,
Or roses, or berries

That yer sweeter than cream
and he's gotta have cream or die?
Whatcha gonna do when he talks that way?
Spit in his eye?
I'm jist a girl who cain't say no,
Cain't seem to say it at all

Nen I think of thet ol' golden rule,

I cain't resist a Romeo
In a sombrero and chaps
Soon as I sit on their laps
Somethin' inside of me snaps
I cain't say no!

You can never, never grow old.

And time is never planned.
Just think of lovely things.
And your heart will fly on wings,
Forever in Never Never Land.
64 – MUSIC OF THE NIGHT – Phantom of the Opera Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation ...
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination ...
Silently the senses abandon thier defences ...
Brunch Hymnal
72
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour ...
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender ...
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before ...
Softly, deftly, music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you ...
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this dark which you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul
Take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me ...
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Brunch Hymnal
73
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in to the power of
the music that I write - the power of the music of the night ...
You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night ...

A guy with a pin to burst your bubble

Softer than starlight, are you,
Warmer than winds of June,
Are the gentle lips you gave me.
Gayer than laughter, are you,

And joy invade my arms,
And fill my heart as now they do,
Then younger than springtime, am I,

72 – SOUND OF MUSIC – The Sound of Music The hills are alive
With the sound of music,
With songs they have sung,
For a thousand years.
The hills fill my heart,
With the sound of music.
My heart wants to sing every song it hears.
My heart wants to beat like the wings
Of the birds that rise from the lake
To the trees.
My heart wants to sigh
Like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze,
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls
Over stones on its way
To sing through the night,
Like a lark who is learning to pray.
I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely.
Brunch Hymnal
83
I know I will hear
What I heard before.
My heart will be blessed
With the sound of music
And I'll sing once more.
