Liza Minnelli

Come on babe, why don't we paint the town, and all that Jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockin's down
And all that Jazz
Start the car, I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold but the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall, where there's a nightly brawl
And all - a-that - Ja-yazz

Slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes, and all that jazz
I hear that Father Dip is gonna blow the blues, and all that jazz
Hold on hon, we're gonna bunny-hug
I bought some aspirin down at United Drug
In case we shake apart and want a brand new start
To do - a-that - Ja-yazz

Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy-shake, and all that jazz
Oh, I'm gonna shimmy till my garters break, and all that jazz
Show me where to park my girdle, oh, my mother's blood'd curdle
If she'd hear her baby's queer
For all - that - Ja-yazz

Find the flask we're playin' fast and loose
(Oh, you're gonna see a shiver-shimmy-shake)
And all that jazz, and all that jazz
Right up here is where I store the juice
(Oh I'm gonna shimmy till my garters break)
And all that jazz, and all that jazz
Come on babe we're gonna brush the sky
(Show me where to park my girdle)
I bet you lucky Lindy never flew so high
(Oh, my mother's blood'd girdle)
'Cause in the stratosphere, how could he lend an ear
(If she'd hear her baby's queer)
To all that ja-yazz

No I'm no-one's wife, but oh I love my life
And all... that... Ja-yazz..., that Jazz

At last
My love has come along
My loneliness are over
And life is like a song

At last
The skies above are blue
My heart is wrapped in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I've never known

You smiled
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

At last
My love has come alive
And here we are in heaven
And life is like a song
At last, at last
At last

Sometimes you're happy
And sometimes you're sad
But the world goes round
And sometimes you lose
Every nickel you had
But the world goes round
Sometimes you're dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn't matter at all
Take it from me, there's still going to be
A summer, a winter, a spring and a fall
And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deafing sound
Somebody loses, and somebody wins
And one day it's kicks
And it's kicks in the shins
But the plant spins
And world goes round and round
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes your sad
But the world goes round
And sometimes you lose
Every nickel you had
But the world goes round
Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that shouldn't altar a thing
Take it from me, there's till going to be
A summer, a winter, a fall and a spring
And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deafing sound
Somebody loses, and somebody wins
And one day it's kicks then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins
And the world goes round
And round and round and round and round
The world goes round
And round
And round
And round

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go swingin' low
Bye, bye, black-bird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me

Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go swingin' low
Bye (bye), bye (bye) blackbird (duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo)

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is he
Bye (bye), bye (bye) blackbird (duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo)

No one here can love or understa-a-and me (ah-hah-hah)
Oh, what hard luck stories they all ha-a-and me (ah-hah-hah)

Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbird

Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Leave your perch and take the sky
Too-da-loo, (farewell) bye, bye
Blackbirrrd, go take a fly oh little blackbird, bye

Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbirrrrd, bye bye

What good is sitting alone
In your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
Time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Come taste the wine,
COme hear the band.
Come blow a horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table's waiting.

No use permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret!

I used to have a girlfriend
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't waht you'd call
A blushing flower...
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.

The day she died the neighbors
Came to snicker:
"Well, that's what comes
From too much pills and liquor."
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
She was the happiest... corpse...
I'd ever seen.

I think of Elsie to this very day.
I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
"What good is sitting alone
In you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
Time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret."

And as for me,
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
When I go, I'm going like Elsie.

Start by admitting,
From cradle to tomb
Isn't that a long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Only a Cabarert, old chum
And I love a Cabaret.

I never kissed a man before
Now isn't that a shame?
I never kissed a man before
Before I knew his name

I never had a taste for wine
Now isn't that a sin?
I never had a taste for wine
For wine can't compare with gin

It's nice as nice can be
My faith is at last restored
To know that vice can be
Its own reward

I always go to bed at ten
Now isn't that a bore?
I always go to bed at ten
Then I go home at four

You come back home, with a secret smile
A knowing look, and another lie
To blow my cool, and wreck my life
You're too corrupted, and totally destructive

When you've erupted, you're totally destructive
(Don't drop bombs)
I'd rather not have to hear about
Your other girls on your expense account

I know you carry on, behind my back
With your secretary, you'll have a heart attack
You're too corrupted, and totally destructive
When you've erupted, you're totally destructive

(Don't drop bombs)
(Baby!)
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs

Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs
Life with you is all ups and downs
And when you're up, you're off downtown
I've had enough!
(Baby!)

Don't tell me about your lack of restrictions
Guilty records and previous convictions
Or I shall start playing rough
(Baby!)

You're too corrupted, and totally destructive
When you've erupted, you're totally destructive
(Don't drop..)
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs

Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Just stay calm baby, no more bombs

You come back home, with a secret smile
A knowing look, and another lie
To blow my cool, and wreck my life
You're too corrupted, and totally destructive

Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs

Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs
Life with you is all ups and downs
And when you're up, you're off downtown
I've had enough!
(Baby!)

Don't tell me about your lack of restrictions

You're too corrupted, and totally destructive

Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs

Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Just stay calm baby, no more bombs

I was created for one man alone
It wasn't easy to find
Now that I found him, I wonder just how
I could have lived right up to now

Now that I am something completed by you
I am no one, just part of two

Don't ever leave me, now that you're here
Here is where you belong
Ev'rything seems so right when you're near
When you're away it's all wrong

I'm so dependent, when I need comfort
I always run to you
Don't ever leave me, 'cause if you do
I'll have no one to run to

Don't ever leave me alone

Everybody loves my baby
But my baby don't love nobody but me
Nobody but me
Yes
Everybody wants my baby
But my baby don't want nobody but me
That's plain to see!

I'm his sweet Judy
And he is my loving man!
No time to do his duty
Loves me like no other can!

Everybody loves my baby
But my baby don't love nobody but me
Nobody but me
Everybody wants my baby
But my baby don't want nobody but me
That's plain to see!

Now when my baby kisses me
Upon my rosy cheeks
I just let those kisses be
Don't wash my face for weeks!

Everybody loves my baby

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says, and it still is new-ews
Mama may have and papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own

And the strong get more

Empty pockets don't ever make the gra-ade
Mama may have and papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

And when you got money
You got a-lots of friends
All hangin' 'round your door
But when the money's gone
And all your spendin' ends
They won't hang around any more-ore

Rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
Sayin' help, go on help help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have and papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own...
That's got his ow...own

Mama may have and papa may ha-ave
But God bless the child who can stand up and say
He's got his... ow-ow-ow-own...

Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of their minds
People stop and stare
Can't even see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
Skipping over the ocean like a stone

la la la la

Good mornin' starshine,
the earth says hello
You twinkle above us
We twinkle below
Good mornin' starshine,
You lead us along
My love and me as we sing
our early mornin' singin' song

I'm going where the weather suits my clothes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
Skipping over the ocean like a stone

He's a tramp but I love him
Breaks a new heart every day
He's a tramp and I adore him
And I only hope he stays that way

He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel
He's a rounder, he's a cad
He's a tramp but I love him
Yes, even I have got it pretty bad

You can never tell when he'll show up
He'll give you plenty of trouble
I guess he is just a no account pup
But I wish that he were double

He's a tramp, he's a rover
And there's nothin' more to say
He's a tramp, he's a good one
And I only hope he stays that way

But I wish that he were double
He's a tramp, he's a rover
And there's nothin' more to say
He's a tramp, he's a good one
And I only hope he stays that way

Yeah-hey
I wish that I could travel his way
Hey, hey
I really wanna travel his way

I don't know whether
I'll love you much longer
I don't know whether
Whether I can

But feeling like this on a hot summer's night
I'm cold and I'm tired and I've tried to
But I can't say goodnight
And I don't know whether

I need you so badly
I don't know if ever
If ever I did
But feeling like this on a hot summer's night

The wind in our eyes, and I'm crying
'Cause I can't say goodnight
I can't say goodnight
I can't say goodnight

And I can't help thinking
What we tried to prove
Though we may be sinking
At least we saw it all through

And I don't know whether
I'll love you much longer
I don't know whether
Whether I can

But feeling like this on a hot summer's night
I need you beside me, believe me
'Cause I can't say goodnight

I can't say goodnight
I can't say goodnight
Can't say goodnight
I can't say
Goodnight

I got lost in his arms and I had to stay
It was dark in his arms and I lost my way
From the dark came a voice and it seemed to say
There you go, there you go

How I felt when I fell, I just can't recall
But his arms held me fast and they broke the fall
And I said to my heart as it foolishly kept jumping all around
I got lost but look what I found

How I felt when I fell, I just can't recall
But his arms held me fast and it broke the fall
And I said to my heart as it foolishly kept jumping all around
I got lost, I got lost but look what I've found
I've found

I got lost in his arms and I had to stay
It was dark in his arms and I lost my way
From the dark came a voice and it seemed to say
There you go, there you go

How I felt when I fell, I just can't recall
But his arms held me fast and they broke the fall
And I said to my heart as it foolishly kept jumping all around
I got lost but look what I found

How I felt when I fell, I just can't recall
But his arms held me fast and it broke the fall
And I said to my heart as it foolishly kept jumping all around
I got lost, I got lost but look what I've found
I've found

I gotcha, ahh-ha-hah
You thought I didn't see ya
Now, didn't ya, ahh-ha-hah
You tried to sneak by me now
Didn't ya, ahh-ha-hah
Now give me what you promised to me
Give it to me, come on

You promised me the day
That you quit your girlfriend
That I'd be the next one
To move on i-in
You promised me
It would be just us two
And I'd be the only one
Kissin' on you-ou

Now kiss me
Hold it a long time, hold it
Oh don't turn me loose now
Hold it, a little bit longer
Now hold it, come on hold it
Hold it, hold it, hold it
Don't be greedy now, get back

You made me a promise
And you're gonna stick to it
You should'na promised
If you wasn't gonna do it
You saw me and ran
In another direction
I'll teach you to play
With my affection

Now give it here
You never shoulda promised to me
Give it here
Don't hold back now, give it here
Don't say nothin'
Just give it here, come on
Give it, give it, give it, give it
Come on, give it to me
Wow!

Don't want my mammy, I don't need a friend
My heart is broken, it won't ever mend
I ain't much carin' just where I will end
But I must have that man

I'm like an oven that's cryin' for heat
He treats me awful each day of the week
It's just unlawful how that man can cheat
But I must have that man

He's hot as Hades, a lady's not safe
In his arms when she's kissed
But I'm afraid that when he's cooled off
Maybe I'll be ruled off his list
And I'll never be missed

I need this person much worse than just bad
I'm half alive and it's drivin' me mad
He's only human if he's to be had
I must have that man

I need this person much worse than just bad
I'm half alive and it's drivin' me mad
He's only human if he's to be had
Then I must have that man
I must have that man
I gotta have that man

When the sun goes down
I open up my window for hours and I watch

Every passing stranger
Every early shadow, I wonder if it's you

Always I'm dreaming, and recklessly scheming
How to get you back in my life

I want you now
And I'm prepared to take chances
I've told you how
I won't take no for an answer

Every empty evening
The sailors sit downstairs, drinking 'til they fight

Shout and raucous laughter
Sounds of breaking glass shatter through the night

The men from the circus are juggling with knives
The acrobats fall just like you

I want you now
And I'm prepared to take chances
I've told you how
I won't take no for an answer
I won't take no for an answer

Now you're miles away
'Cross the sea, out of reach, unheard
I've cried to you for help
But the wind blows away all my words

You sat there once beside me
Where the actors play, you kissed me every night

When you left you promised
You'd soon be back to stay, and it would be alright

Now I'm abandoned, my letters unanswered
Got to get you back in my life

I want you now (I want you now)
And I'm prepared to take chances
I've told you how (I've told you how)
I won't take no for an answer

I want you now (I want you now)
And I'm prepared to take chances
I've told you how (I've told you how)
I won't take no for an answer

If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm touching you
Till I hear you sigh, here in my arms

Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Everyday remember, I still love you so
In your heart believe, what in my heart I know
That forevermore, I'll wait for you

The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms



If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh, here in my arms

Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Everyday remember, I still love you so
In your heart believe, what in my heart I know
That forevermore, I'll wait for you

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut tree
The wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I've got the world on a string
Sittin' on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! What a life!
I'm in love.

I've got a song that I sing,
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger.
Lucky me! Can't you see
I'm in love?

Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string.
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go.

I've got the world on a string,
Sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! What a life!
I'm in love.

Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string.
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let it go.

I've got the world on a string,
Sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! Man this is the life!
Hey now, I'm in love.

I could teach the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the gray skies to blue
If I had you

I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my friends, I wouldn't mind
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you

I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Search the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning deserts
If I had you by my side

I could be a queen, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich and renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you

I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Swim the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning deserts
If I had you by my side

I could be a queen, dear, uncrowned
Humble and poor, rich and renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you
There's not a thing I couldn't do
If I had you

I could teach the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the gray skies to blue
If I had you

I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my friends, I wouldn't mind
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you

I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Search the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning deserts
If I had you by my side

I could be a queen, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich and renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you

I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Swim the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning deserts
If I had you by my side

I could be a queen, dear, uncrowned
Humble and poor, rich and renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you
There's not a thing I couldn't do
If I had you

Men of affairs, women with power
Satellites talking, to clatter our lives
Banks of predictions, policies made
Prophecies broken, violence deranged (deranged, deranged)

And if there was love, would that be enough?
And if there was love, would that be enough?
Pollsters and planners, incredibly sad

Indelibly inking, their names across our lives
Individual freedom, intrinsically curbed
Inspiration nil, slavery ten

And if there was love, would that be enough?
And if there was love, would that be enough?
And if there was love, would that be enough?
And if there was love, would that be enough?

I've been working for a long time
Scattering smiles
Must I swallow my pride?
There's a hole in the sky, as distant and vast

As our moral vacuum, and growing as fast
And if there was love, would that be enough?
And if there was love, would that be enough?
And if there was love, would that be enough?
And if there was love, would that be enough?

"They that have power to hurt and will do none,
That do not do the thing they most do show,
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
Unmoved, cold and to temptation slow;

They rightly do inherit heaven's graces
And husband nature's riches from expense;
They are the lords and owners of their faces,
Others but stewards of their excellence.

The summer's flower is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:

For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds."

I now pronounce you for the rest of your life
I now pronounce you man and wife

It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever
We would stay together and share the laughter
With never ever a morning after
It was a good time, it was the best time
It seemed a short time, but such a good time

Since you're gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some time deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when

It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever

Here we go 'round the mulberry bush
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, early in the morning

Mama wakes up and she's alone
She's alone, she's alone
Mama wakes up and she's alone, early in the morning

... Falling down ... Lon ... My fair lady
Yes she looks a lot like him, yes she does, but, yes
My fair lady

Baby, baby Bunting, daddy's gone a-hunting
Daddy's gone!

... Dor-mei-vous, dor-mei-vous
Mama will stay near you, mama will be near you
Not your dad, that's too bad!

Good - bye - good - and I believed - ah-hah

Since you've gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some times deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when

It - was - a - good - time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
It seemed a s

The sun comes up, I think about you
The coffee cup, I think about you
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind

The morning ends, I think about you
I talk to friends and think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind?

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right

I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing
Losing my mind?

Midnight
I watch you as you are sleeping
You don't know I'm leaving
My bags are packed to go

Oh, no, no, no
It hurts me
Hurts me so to leave you
Leave you for some one who
I hardly even know

But time has come to say goodbye
To spread my wings and fly
To feed the need I feel inside

But I keep feeling these love pains
Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?

(Love pains)
(Love pains)

Can't help
Can't help but remember
The love we had, so tender
A world so safe and sound

Oh, no, no, no,
His kiss, temptation so inviting
A feeling so exciting
Has turned me upside down

And though, I know I could be wrong
This feeling's much too strong
I've got to be where I belong

But I keep feeling these love pains
Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Tearing me more apart
'Cause I don't wanna break your heart
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?

Tearing me more apart

Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh, will I ever be free of these love pains?
Tearing me more apart
'Cause I don't wanna break your heart

How the world can change,
It can change like that.
Due to one little word "Married."
See a palace rise from a two room flat,
Due to one little word "Married."
And the world despair that was often there,
Suddenly ceases to be.
For you wake one day, look around and say
"Somebody wonderful married me."

You better sit down kids,
and I'll tell you why, kids
You might not understand, kids
but give it a try, kids
Now how should I put this,
I've got something to say
Your daddy is staying
but I'm going away
Oh no, we're not angry,
it's hard to say why
It's just your father and I, kids,
we don't see eye to eye
I know you don't want this
but neither do we
But sometimes things happen
that we can't foresee
Now don't look so sad, kids
and try to be calm
Just because I am leaving,
I'll still be your mom
You just remember I love you
and though I'm not here
You just call if you need me
and I'll always be near
Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your father asks
he's gonna need you more so stay in line
Keep in mind your daddy's gonna need your help
A lot more than she ever did before
No more fights over little things
'Cause I won't be there to stop him anymore
Well, I have to go now,
come on kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red, kids,
It'll too big to cry
You just remember I love you
and though I'm not here
You just call if you need me
and I'll always be near
You just remember I love you
You just remember I love you
You just remember I love you

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won??쨈t hurry away

He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before

[Chorus]
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loves me
'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy,'
That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to give in,
It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win

[Chorus]

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won??쨈t hurry away

He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before

[Chorus]
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loves me
'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy,'
That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to give in,
It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win

[Chorus]

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won??쨈t hurry away

He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last

Like the last time
And the time before

[Chorus]
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loves me

That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to give in,

Maybe this time I'll win

[Chorus]

You have to understand the way I am, Mein Herr.
A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, Mein Herr.
You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, Mein Herr.
So I do,
What I do,
When I'm through
Then I'm through
And I'm through
Toodaloo!

Bye-Bye, Mein Leiber Herr,
Fare-Well, Mein Leiber Herr,
It was a fine affair
But now it's over.
And though I used to care,
I need the open air,
You're better off without me, Mein Herr!

Don't dab your eye, Mein Herr,
Or wonder why, Mein Herr,
I've always said,
That I was a rover.
You musn't knit your brow,
You should've known by now,
You've every cause to doubt me, Mein Herr!

The continent of Europe is so wide, Mein Herr,
Not only up and down, but side to side, Mein Herr,
I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, Mein Herr,
But I do,
What I can,
Inch by inch,
Step by step,
Mile by mile,
Man by man!

Bye-Bye, Mein Leiber Herr,
Fare-Well, Mein Leiber Herr,
It was a fine affair
But now it's over.
And though I used to care,
I need the open air,
You're better off without me, Mein Herr!

Don't dab your eye, Mein Herr,
Or wonder why, Mein Herr,
I've always said,
That I was a rover.
You musn't knit your brow,
You should've known by now,
You've every cause to doubt me, Mein Herr!

Bye-bye, Mein Lieber Herr,
Auf wiedersehen, Mein Herr.
Es war sehr gut, Mein Herr
Und vorbei.
Du kennst mich wohl, Mein Herr,
Ach, lebe wohl, Mein Herr.
Du sollst mich nicht mehr sehen,
Mein Herr.

Bye-Bye Mein Leiber Herr!
Und Vorbei!
Mein Herr!
And bye-bye!

Bye-Bye, Mein Leiber Herr,
Fare-Well, Mein Leiber Herr,
It was a fine affair
But now it's over.
And though I used to care,
I need the open air,
You're better off without me,
You're get on without me,
Mein Herr!

Moments like this make me thrill through and through
Precious moments like this spent with you
Nonchalantly we dine and we dance
Yet my heart seems to melt in your glance

Moments like this with the soft lights aglow
Make me long for your kiss though I know
I'd be just one of all your affairs
But at moments like this, who cares?

Moments like this with the soft lights aglow
Make me long for your kiss but I know
I'd be just one of all your affairs

But at moments like this
Moments like this
Moments like this, who cares?
Ha, who cares?

Money...Money

Money makes the world go around
...the world go around
...the world go around.
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round.

A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
...a buck or a pound
...a buck or a pound.
Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking, clanking sound...
Can make the world go 'round

Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money...

If you happen to rich
And you feel like a night's entertainment
You can pay for a gay escapade.
If you happen to be rich and alone
And you need a companion
You can ring (ting-a-ling) for the maid.
If you happen to be rich
And you find you are left by your lover,
And you moan and you groan quite a lot
You can take it on the chin,
Call a cab and begin to recover
On your 14-karat yacht! WHAT!?

Money makes the world go around
...the world go around
...the world go around.
Money makes the world go aroung
Of that we both are sure...
*rasberry sound* on being poor!

Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money...

When you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate.
When you haven't any shoes on your feet,
Your coat's thin as paper,
And you look 30 pounds underweight
When you go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor,
He will tell you to love evermore.
But when hunger comes to rap,
rat-a-tat rat-a-tat at the window
*knock knock* (at the window)
Who's there? (hunger) oh, hunger!!
See how love flies out the door...

For, money makes the world go around
...the world go around
...the world go around.
Money makes the world go 'round
The clinking, clanking sound of...
Money money money money
Money money money money...
Get a little, get a little
Money money money money...
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound,
That clinking, clanking, clunking sound,
Is all that makes the world go 'round,
It makes the world go 'round!

Monday through Friday from 9 until 5
I bring him coffee and I type his letters
And I dial the number to tell his wife:

Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
He said not to worry, just leave on the light
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
Just lock the door and be sure to tuck the kids in tight.

Monday through Friday from 5 until 9
I take my hair down and put on some music
And open a bottle of sweet red wine;

Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
He said not to worry, just leave on the light
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
Just lock the door and be sure to tuck the kids in tight.

Saturday and Sunday I stay home alone
I lay around hoping that he'll call
Well, I wash my hair, play solitaire or read a book
And now and then I close my eyes
Trying to remember how he looks, whoah!

The lines were rehearsed when I called her today
But my part was over before I could speak she said,
"Hello, yes, I know you've called to say:"

Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
He said not to worry, just leave on the light
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
Just lock the door and be sure to tuck the kids in tight.

Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
He said not to worry, just leave on the light
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
Just lock the door...
