This is the story of a young girl who was the Einstein of the dance.
They called her Big Noise from Winnetka, against her no one stood a chance. Big Noise blew in from Winnetka, stole each fellow's heart and then, Big Noise blew in from Winnetka, Big Noise blew right out again. Boys were sighing, their girlfriends crying, hearts were pounding when; The Big Noise dances, hence romances, it's just astounding when; Big Noise blew in from Winnetka, Big Noise blew right out again. Stop! Look! Listen! Listen to the Big Noise. Stop! Look! Listen! Listen to the Big Noise. I am the one they call the Big Noise. I got to dance my way to fame. I just blew in from Winnetka, that town will never be the same. Now I had my fun, and yet there's just one who's got me from the start. I'd love to conga a little bit longer but it keeps us apart. Exit Big Noise from Winnetka, enter Big Noise in his heart. Big men move me out. Senors zonk me out. Zim zom zup ma ma. Big men boo bop ba, bah ba doo wop. Boodeeah baby boodeeah baby boodeeah baby. Boodeeah baby boodeeah baby boodeeah baby baby baby over 'n' out. She loves the bass. She loves the drum. She loves to stay out late and dance the samba, samba, how she loves to samba, rhumba, salsa, limbo and pachenga. She's so restless she's on every guest list. None can please her. She'd say no to Ceaser. Teach me, why don't you teach me. Show me how to let go! There she goes 'round again, up and then down again, in and then out. Hooo! When Big Noise waltzes through the door the bouncer has to clear the floor, 'cause everybody wants to see the girl get down, the girl get down. And if you try to hold me tight, I'll disappear into the night. My lover's waiting home for me (she don't do that! She don't do that!) Everyone's got a bit of Big Noise in his heart, everyone likes to toot his horn. I've been the Big Noise from Winnetka for so long, time for a new noise to be born. 'Cause I had my fun and et there's just one who's got me from the start. Exit Big Noise for Winnetka, enter Big Noise in my heart. Onc she was pickin' up the big boys . . . Now I'm pickin' up my little kids' toys . . . Big Noise we miss you. |

There is a land I know
where lovers go and flowers grow forever more; where time is standing still and lovers fill the quiet places by the shore. We will cross a rainbow to a place where we'll be free, and he'll give his love to me. So I wait for the day when he takes me away to Paradise. He'll take me by my hand. We'll walk across the sand. It's never-never land. Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa. We'll build a castle there where we can share the happiness we've waited for. Where white flamingos fly a-way up high and play above the ocean floor. We will climb a mountain to see our wonderland. Maybe know you'll understand why I wait for the day when he takes me away to Paradise. He'll take me by my hand. We'll walk across the sand. A never-never land. Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa. I'll stand by him, do right by him and I swear that I would die for him. Ohh, die for him. Paradise. He'll take me by my hand. We'll walk across the sand. It's never-never land. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll stand by him, do right by him. Oh, yeah. Oh-oh, oh, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh. I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna stand by him. Gonna do right, gonna do right by him. Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeaeaeaeaheah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah . . . |

Here comes The Rose, looking mighty fine.
Here comes ol' Nancy, walking right in time. Here comes the stripper, bringing on the night. Here come the boys, faces hidden from the light. Walk through the shadows. Well, they come and they go. Only one thing on their mind: fire down below. Whoa, here come the rich man in his big, long limousine. Here come the poor man, all you got to have is green. Here come the banker, lawyer and the cop. One thing's for certain, it's never gonna stop. When it all gets too heavy they come and they go. There they go. One thing on their mi-mi-mi-mind: fire down below. Whoa, there they go. One thing on their mi-mi-mi-mi-mind: fire down below. It happens out in Vegas, Moline, on the blue-blood streets of Boston, in Berkley, out in Queens. Went on yesterday, it's going on tonight. Somewhere there's somebody treatin' somebody right. I'm lookin' at The Rose. I'm lookin' mighty fine. I walk the streets, I'll find you any time. Where the street lights flicker, bringing on the night, I'll be slipping into darkness; Slippin' out of sight. Oh, through the midnight I come! I go! Only one thing on my my mind: fire down below. One thing on my my my mind: fire down below. Fire, fire, fire, hoo, hoo, hoo. One thing on my my mind: fire down below. |

Where did you go when things went wrong, baby?
Who did you run to? Find a shoulder to lay your head upon. Baby, wasn't I there? Didn't I take good care of you? But, oh, no. I can't believe you're leaving me, yeah. Stay with me, baby. I'm beggin' you to stay with me, baby. Yeah, stay with me, baby. I can't go on. Who did you touch when you needed tenderness, baby? I gave you so much, and in return I found happiness. Baby, what could I do? Maybe I was too good, too good to you. Ohh, I can't believe you're leavin' me. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, stay with me, baby. Why don't you, why don't you just stay with me, baby? Yeah, stay with me, baby. Remember, you said you always gonna love me. Remember, you said you'd never ever leave me. Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, stay with me, baby, baby, baby. Why don't you stay with me, baby? Stay with me, baby. I can't, I can't go, oh, on. "Well, I'm a young woman, and I could get plenty of men. But honey, keepin' 'em's the hard part, ain't it? Yeah. Sometimes, sometimes I find I try so hard." Maybe this time I should be the one to go away. 'Cause honey, ain't it my turn to have somebody grab hold of me and say, "No! Don't go! You can't go!" Oh! Stay, stay with me, baby. I'm begging you, stay with me. Stay with me, baby. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, stay with me, baby. Why don't you stay with me, baby? Stay with me, baby. I can't, I can't go on. |

I think I'll sing you a little ballad.
It's a new one. I just learnt it. Oh, I hope you like it. Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair. Does anybody really care? It's gettin' cold out here. Well, I keep walkin' with my head held high, with my head to the sky, with my mother's eyes. And my mother's eyes are with me in the darkness that's been paid for. I'm just a nameless stranger, don't know why. Have I seen all that I could? Have I seen more than I should with my mother's eyes? Have I seen all that I could? Have I seen more than I should with my mother's eyes? And my mother's eyes are with me in the chilly winds of autumn. If I ain't here by winter, she'll know why. I've seen all that I dare. I've seen more than my share. Forgive me if I stare with my mother's eyes. |

I saw her today at the reception.
She had a glass of wine in her hand. She said, "Well, now I have to go meet my connection." At her feet was a footloose man. I heard her say, "You can't always get what you want. You can't always get what you want. You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just may find, surely you will find you get what you need. Oh, don't you find that you will get what you need?" |
