Liza Minnelli

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

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

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 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

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

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

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?

I get the feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me so

I feel like Christopher Columbus when I'm near enough to contemplate
The sweet geography descending from your eyebrow to your toe
The possibilities are more than I can possibly enumerate
That's why you fascinate me so

So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me

But, oh, my darling, you'll forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powder keg that's just about to blow
Will the end result deflate me or will you annihilate me?
You fascinate me, you irritate me, you fascinate me so

So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me

But, oh, my darling, you'll forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powder keg that's just about to blow
Will the end result deflate me or will you annihilate me?
You fascinate me, you irritate me, you fascinate me so
So, so

Somewhere Over The Rainbow Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high, There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops, Away above the chimney tops, That's where you'll find me. Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow, Why then - oh, why can't I? Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops, Away above the chimney tops, That's where you'll find me. Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow, Why then - oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I?

I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel, your love is real,
Near you I long to be!The birds are singing, it is song time
The banjos strummin' soft and low
I know that you
Yearn for me too;
Swanee, you're calling me!Swanee!
How I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee!
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E - ven now my Mammy's waiting for me,
Praying for me
Down by the SwaneeThe folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore!Swanee!
How I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee!
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E - ven now my Mammy's waiting for me,
Praying for me
Down by the SwaneeThe folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore!
Swanee, Swanee, I'm coming back to Swanee!
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home!Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee!
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home!

One thing I know
And I've always known
I am my own best friend
Baby's alive
But baby's alone
And baby's her own best friend

Many's the kind
Who told me he cares
But they were scratchin' my back
'Cause I was scratchin' theirs...

And trusting too
That's only for fools
I play the game
When I make the rules
And rule number one
From here to the end
Is I am my own best friend

I am my own best friend
Baby's her own best friend
Three muskateers
Who never said die
Are standing here this minute
Me, myself, and I...

Life is a school
I'll pass every test
If life is a game
I'll play it the best
'Cause I won't give in
And I'll never bend
And I am my own - best - frie-iend...

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]

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

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
While the weak ones fade
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...

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...

One thing I know
And I've always known
I am my own best friend
Baby's alive
But baby's alone
And baby's her own best friend

'Cause I was scratchin' theirs...

And trusting too

Me, myself, and I...

If life is a game

When it all comes true
Just the way you'd planned
It's funny but the bells don't ring

It's a quiet thing
When you hold the world
In your trembling hand
You'd think you'd hear a choir sing
It's a quiet thing

There are no exploding fireworks
Where's the roaring of the crowds
Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere
Way up here among the clouds

But I don't hear the drums
And I don't hear the band
The sounds I'm told
Such moments bring

Happiness comes in on tip-toe
Well what'd'ya know
It's a quiet thing
A very - quiet - thing

About a year ago - I heard this truly terrific, absolutely true story
And it just so happens that I told a couple of friends of mine this truly terrific, absolutely true story
And it just so happens that these friends of mine are song writers
And guess what happened, right, truly terrific, absolutely true song

Gather around, I've got a story to tell, About a Manhattan lady that I know very well
She lives at five Riverside, her name is Shirley Devore, And she travelled 'round the world to meet the guy next door

Well there was trouble inside apartment 29 E, 'Cause Shirley's mother and dad were as upset as can be
They said we hate to complain dear and we don't like to grouse, But your nearly 32, you should get out of the house

You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells, You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells
It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting-a-ling, You gotta ring - them - bells

Well Shirley was 31, which she was loathe to admit, And she had never been loved, which didn't thrill her a bit
And so she sat and she thought, she thought for hours on end, And said I'll go to Chase, Manhattan, where I got me a friend

And so she borrowed a thou' and called TWA, And told her mother and dad that she was up and away
I'm gonna travel the continent, a month, maybe two, And haul me home a hus' if it's the last thing I do

You gotta ring them bells, you gotta ring them bells, You gotta make 'em sing and really ring them bells
It's such a happy thing to hear 'em ting-a-ling, You gotta ring - them - bells

She met a Londoner first, but they did not hit it off, 'Cause every time she approached he got a bronchial cough
And so she went to Madrid and met a handsome Senior, But he liked to throw the bul

The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
For the moon refused to shine
Couple sittin' underneath the willow tree
For love they'd pine

Little maid was kinda 'fraid of darkness
So she said, I guess I'll go
Boy began to sigh, looked up at the sky
Told the moon his little tale - of woe...

Shine on, shine on harvest moon, up in the sky-why
I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July
Snowtime ain't no ti-ime to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harve-e-est moon

Don't make-a me wait too lo-ong
My love for you is much too strong
I ain't had no, I ain't had no lovin' since
January, February, June or July
When all the skies are grey
I want to go inside and stay

So light up, oh light up
Fast or slow come past that door, and
Shi-i-i-ine on harvest moon
Gi-I've some love again
I ain't had none since a-Lord knows when
No time, ain't no time to stay outside a-and try to spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon
For me, for me and my gal
Pass that light, fair and kind
How much lo-ove will be mine

Harvest moon, come on, come on, come o-o-on...
Shi-ine...

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 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

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]

Wherever we go, whatever we do,
we're gonna go through it together.
We may not go far, but sure as a star,
wherever we are, it's together.

Wherever I go I know he goes.
Wherever I go I know she goes.
No fits, no fights, no feuds
and no egos, Amigos, together!

Through thick and through thin,
all out or all in.
And whether it's win, place or show.
With you for me and me for you,
we'll muddle through whatever we do.
Together, wherever we go.

Rose & Herbie: Wherever we go, whatever we do,
we're gonna go through it together.
Rose: Wherever we sleep, if prices are steep,
Herbie:We'll always sleep cheaper together.

Rose: Whatever the boat I row, you row.
Herbie: A duo
Rose: Whatever the row I hoe, you hoe.
Louise: A trio.
Rose: And any I. O. U., I owe you-oh's?
Herbie: Who, me-oh? No, you-oh.
Louise: No, we-oh.
All: Together!

We all take the bow
Rose: Including the cow,
All: though business is lousy and slow.
Rose: With Herbie's vim, Louise's verve,
Herbie &Louise: Now all we need is someone with nerve.
Rose: Together
Herbie &Louise: Together
Rose: Wherever
Herbie &Louise: Wherever
Rose: Together, wherever,
All: Together, wherever we go.

Rose: We go in a group,
All: We tour in a troupe.
We land in the soup, but we know
the things we do, we do by threes.
A perfect team.
Rose: No, this way, Louise!
Together
Herbie &Louise: Together
Rose: Wherever
Herbie &Louise: Wherever
All: Together, wherever we go!

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

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

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

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time

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!

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!

Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it in old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm a number one, top of the list
These little town blues are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it in old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York, New York

Some people can get a thrill, knitting sweaters and sitting still
That's okay for some people don't know they're alive
Some people can thrive and bloom, living life in a living room
That's perfect for some people of one hundred and five
But I... at least gotta try

When I think of all the sights that I gotta see
And all the places I gotta play, All the things that I gotta be at
Come on papa, what'd'ya say?

Some people can be content, playin' bingo and payin' rent
That's livin' for some people, for some hum-drum people - to-oo be
But some people - ain't me

I had a dream, a wonderful dream, papa
All about June in the Orpheum circuit
Give me a chance, I know I can work it, Uhh, what a dream
And it was just as real as could be, papa
Well just listen to me, there I was in Mr Orpheum's office
And he was sayin' to me - Rose!
Get yourself some new orchestrations, new routines and red velvet curtains
Get a feathered hat for the baby, photographed in front of the theatre
Get an agent and in jig time, you'll be bein' booked in the big time

Oh what a dream, a wonderful dream, papa
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, Papa, that's it
That's what he said papa, only eighty-eight bucks, papa

It's uh, yeah, but it's only eighty-eight bucks
It's not like I'm askin' for a second mortgage on this place
What d'ya gettin so crick, why you gettin' crazy, it's eighty-eight lousy bucks
What do you mean I ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents outta you
Well, I'll get it, and I'll get my kids - OUT - NOW

Goodbye, to blueberry pies, good ridance to all the socials I had to go to
All the lodges that I had to play, all the shriners I said hell

He may not always say
What you would have him say
But now and then he'll say something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do
Will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he'll do something wonderful
He has a thousand dreams that won't come true
You know that he believes in them
And that's enough for you
You'll always go along with
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong
He is wonderful
He'll always need your love
And so you'll get you're love
A man who needs your love
Can be wonderful

> What did I have that I don't have?
What did he like that I lost track of?
What did I do that I don't do the way I did before?
What isn't there that once was there?
What have I got a great big lack of?
Something in me that he could see
That beckons to him no more
Oh, I'm just a victim of time
Obsolete in my prime
Out of date and outclassed, by my past
What did he love that there's none of?
What did I lose the sweet warm knack of?
Wouldn't I be the late great me, if I knew how?
What did I have I don't have now?
What did he see that's gone in me?
What did I use that now I'm shy of?
Why is the sequel never the equal?
Why is there no encore?
Where can I go to repair?
All the wear and the tear
'Till I'm once again the previous me
What did he like that I am not like?
What was the charm that I've run dry of?
What would I give if my old know how
Still knew how?
What did I have I don't have now?
What did he love that there's none of?
What did I have I don't have now?

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
