Songs

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh’s just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say, “I love you”
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs, never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman need man and man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It’s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs, never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man and man must have his mate
That no one can deny

[Verse 3]
It’s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

You used to live in New York City
Then you moved to L.A
But you still miss the streets
Where you used to play

So you hurry on back there
Even leave your pool and your car
Only to find you no longer belong
Fool, don’t you know what you are

Yeah, hit the streets at midnight
Still dancing after dawn
But something seems to be missing
Just what are you running from

Do you like your love in the dark
Or laid out in the sun?
When you can’t make up your mind
Don’t you know what you’ve become

Bi-coastal, miss the natural speed of the city
Bi-coastal, California’s fine if you’re pretty

You can always hear me singing
Oh, say can you see?
From the towers of Manhattan
To the hills of Beverly

All those girls on TV movies
All those boys on Broadway
When you can’t make up your mind
You know you go either way

Bi-coastal, miss the natural speed of the city
Bi-coastal, California’s fine if you’re pretty, oh yeah
Bi-coastal, miss the natural speed of the city, oh yeah, yeah
Bi-coastal, California’s fine if you’re pretty

Bi-coastal, when both are so much fun
Tell me why do you have to pick, why do you have to pick
Why do you have to pick one?

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
It’s time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret

Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Come blow that horn
Start celebrating right this way
Your table’s waiting

What could permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret

I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie
With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn’t what 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 all alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret

And as for me,
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 long a stay
Life is a cabaret, old chum,  It’s only a cabaret, old chum
And I love a cabaret

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
Cause she didn’t want parades just passin’ by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
And she danced without a net upon the wire

I know a lot about her cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

Don’t cry out loud
Just keep it inside, just learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
And the different kind of love she thought she’d found
It was nothin’ left but sawdust and some glitter

But baby can’t be broken cause you see
She had the finest teacher, that was me, and I told ‘er

Don’t cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
Then if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Don’t cry out loud
You gotta it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Girl, don’t cry out loud
You gotta keep it inside, you learn how to hide the feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, well baby you all knows, you almost had it all

When trumpets were mellow
And every gal only had one fellow
No need to remember when
‘Cause everything old is new again

Dancin’ at your Long Island Jazz Age parties
Waiter, bring us some more Bacardis
We’ll order now what they ordered then
‘Cause everything old is new again

Get out your white suit, your tap shoes, and tails
Let’s go backward when forward fails
And movie stars you thought were long dead
Now are framed beside your bed

Don’t throw your past away
You might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When everything old is new again

Get out your white suit, your tap shoes and tails
Put it in backward when forward fails
But leave Greta Garbo alone
Be a movie star on your own

And don’t throw the past away
You might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When everything old is new again
When everything old is new again

When my baby
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio
De Janeiro, my-oh-me-oh
I go wild and then I have to do the Samba
And La Bamba
Now I`m not the kind of person
With a passionate persuasion for dancin`
Or roma-ancin`
But I give in to the rhythm
And my feet follow the beatin` of my hear-eart
Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my baby
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio
De Janeiro
I`m a Salsa fellow
When my baby smiles at me
The sun`ll lightens up my li-ife
And I am free at last, what a blast
Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my baby
When my baby smiles at me
I feel like Tarzan, of the Jungle
There on the hot sand
And in a bungalow while monkeys play above-a
We-ee make love-a
Now I`m not the type to let vibrations (Rio…)
Trigger my imagination easily (Rio…)
You know that`s just not me
But I turn into a tiger (Rio…)
Everytime I get beside the – one I love (Rio…)
Woh, oh, woh, woh-oh…, Rio… – Rio…
Yeah Ugh – Rio… – Ugh
Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my ba-a-aby (when my baby)
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio (Rio…)
De Janeiro
I`m a Salsa fellow-ow
When my baby smiles at me
The sun`ll lightens u-up my li-ife
And I am free at last, what a blast
When my baby (when my baby)
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio (Rio…)
That`s when I go to Rio (Rio)
Rio – Rio De Janeir-eiro
Rio…., Rio…., Rio….

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you (Ooh, I love you) Ooh, I love
I honestly love you, Ooh, ooh

You don’t have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you must realise
That it’s coming from my heart and not my head

I love you (Ooh, I love you)
Ooh, I love
I honestly love you
Ooh, ooh

I’m not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I’m not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn’t come along every day
And you shouldn’t blow the chance
When you’ve got the chance to say

(Ooh, I love you)
Ooh, I love
I
(Ooh, I love you) I love you
(I love you)
(I honestly do, I honestly do)
I honestly love you

If we both were born
In another place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we’ll just be leaving it at this

(Ooh, I love you) I love you
(Ooh, I love) I honestly love you
I honestly love you

I’ve been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home

I’m always travelling, I love being free
And so I keep leaving the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home

All the sons and daughters spinning ’round the world
Away from their family and friends
But as the world gets older and colder
It’s good to know where your journey ends

But someday, we’ll all be together once more
When all of the ships come back to the shore
Then I realise something I’ve always known
I still call Australia home

(But no matter how far or wide I roam)
I still call Australia
I still call Australia
I still call Australia home

(But no matter how far or wide I roam)
Oh, I still call Australia
I still call Australia
I still call Australia home

I’d rather leave while I’m in love
While I still believe the meaning of the word
I’ll keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I are never gonna end

Too many times I’ve seen the rose die on the vine
Somebody’s heart gets broken, usually it’s mine
I don’t wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I can’t say goodbye

So if you wake and find me gone
Oh, baby carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe it’s best to leave while I’m in love

Too many times I’ve seen the rose die on the vine
Somebody’s heart gets broken, usually it’s mine
I don’t wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I can’t say goodbye So if you wake and find me gone
Oh, baby carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe it’s best to leave while I’m in love
I still believe it’s best to leave while I’m in love

Comin’ home used to feel so good
I’m a stranger now in my neighbourhood
I’ve seen the world at a faster pace
And I’m comin’ now from a different place

Though I may look the same way to you
Underneath there is somebody new

I am not the boy next door
I don’t belong like I did before
Nothin’ ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can’t have me

I can’t go back there anymore
‘Cause I am not the boy next door

You’ve been savin’ all souvenirs
Faded photographs from my foolish years
We made plans, but they’re wearin’ thin
And they won’t work out ’cause I don’t fit in

And those memories will just weigh me down
‘Cause I got no place to keep ’em uptown

I am not the boy next door
I don’t belong like I did before
Nothin’ ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can’t have me
I can’t go back there anymore
‘Cause I am not the boy next door

And I’m sorry for just bein’ me
But if you’d look past the past you could see
That

I am not the boy next door
I don’t belong like I did before
Nothin’ ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can’t have me

I can’t go back there anymore
‘Cause I am not, I am not, I am not the boy next door

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?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can’t I?

The late George Woolnough
Worked on High Street and lived on Manners
Fifty- two years he sat on his verandah
And made his saddle
And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or dogs
You just asked the saddler
He lived without sin
They’re building a library for him

Time is a traveller, Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

The son of George Woolnough went off and got married
And had a war baby
Something went wrong
And sometimes it’s easier to drink than go crazy
And if there were questions about why the end was so sad
George had no answer about why his son ever had need of a gun

Time is a traveller, Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead
The grandson of George has been all around the world
And lives no special place
He changed his last name and he married a girl
With an interesting face
He’d almost forgotten them both
Because in the life that he leads
There’s nowhere for George or his library or the son with his gun
To belong, except in this song

Time is a traveller. Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
Ride again jackaroo. Think I see kangaroo up ahead

Time is a meddler, Tenterfield Saddler make your bed
Fly away cockatoo, down on the ground emu up ahead

Time is a tale-teller, Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
Ride again jackaroo. Think I see kangaroo up ahead
Time is a tale-teller, Tenterfield Saddler make your bed
Ride again jackaroo. Think I see kangaroo up ahead

The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feelin’ just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much I love you
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won’t free you, and my heart won’t try

Can you imagine how much I love you
More I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won’t free you, and my heart won’t try

The more I see you, more that I want you
Somehow this feelin’ just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more sure about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much I love you
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won’t free you, and my heart won’t try

The more that I see you, the more that I want you
Somehow this feelin’ just grows and grows…

I’d dance and I’d sing, I’d do anything
Just to get my name in lights
I gotta try to hit the heights
Now that I’m free as a breeze again
Old nimble knees again

And soon, they’ll all know my name
I’ll have fortune and fame
When I get my name in lights
It can happen overnight in these modern times

Here in the jazz age
The world is at a crazy stage
You can be famous and cause a panic
If you slick back your hair and then you fly the Atlantic

And that’s why I won’t let go ’til I’m on radio
And when you come to see the sights
That’ll be my name spelt right lighting up Times Square

I’ll sit on a flagpole, whatever’s the rage
Just to get my face on the front page
And just to get my name in lights

We’re livin’ life from this very day
New York, we’re on our way

We’ll be known for our charm and sparkling wit
Even Clara Bow will admit we got it

When I get my name
When I get my name
When I get my name in lights

Mmm, I’m gonna see my name in lights
Harry, there’s no problem, you’re gonna see it in big, big lights
Now, Peter, I’m not talkin’ about them little lights, I want them big ones
Harry, you’ve got to trust me, they’ll be big
