Seasons Four through Six




Don't Throw It All Away
Maybe I don't wanna know the reason why
But lately you don't talk to me
Darling, I can't see me in your eyes
I hold you near but you're so far away
And it's losing you I can't believe
To watch you leave and let this feeling die
You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive
And tomorrow if I'm here without your love, you know I can't survive
Only my love can raise you high above it all

Don't throw it all away, our love, our love
Don't throw it all away, our love
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love
Don't throw it all away, our love
We can take the darkness and make it full of light
But let your love flow back to me
How can you leave and let this feeling die?
This happy room will be a lonely place when you are gone
And I won't even have your shoulders for the crying on
No other woman's love could be as true, I'm begging you

Chorus

We changed the world we made it ours to hold
But dreams are made for those who really try
This losing you is real, but I still feel you here inside

Chorus




Don't Rain On My Parade
Don't tell me not to live just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud, don't rain on my parade

Don't tell me not to fly, I simply go to
If someone takes a spill it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade?
I march my band out, I beat my drum
And if I panned out, your turn at bat sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat sir, I guess I didn't make it

Get ready for me love, cause I'm a comer
I simply got to march, my hearts a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud, don't rain on my parade





Maniac
Just a small town girl on a Saturday night
Looking for the fight of her life
In the real time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She had danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance

It can cut you like a knife
If the fight becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

On the ice blue line of insanity
Is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery, touch it but can't hold it
You work all your life, for that moment in time
It could come or pass you by
It's a push shove world
But there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night

There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling stretching for the peak
Never stopping with her head against the wind

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before





Our Love is Here To Stay
It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go

But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

<instrumental interlude>

But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay




We Are Family
We are family, I got all my sisters with me
We are family, get up everybody and sing
We are family, I got all my sisters with me
We are family, get up everybody and sing

Everyone can see we're together as we walk on by
And we fly just like birds of a feather, I won't tell no lie.
All of the people around us they say, can they be that close?
Just let me say for the record, we're givin' lovin' a family dose.
We are family, I got all my sisters with me
We are family, get up everybody and sing
We are family, I got all my sisters with me
We are family, get up everybody and sing

Living life is fun and we've just begun,
To get our share of this world's delights.
I hope we have for the future and our goal's in sight.
No we don't get depressed, here's what we call our golden rule:
Have faith in you and the things you do, you won't go wrong,
Oh no, this is our family jewel.
We are family, I got all my sisters with me
We are family, get up everybody and sing
We are family, I got all my sisters with me
We are family, get up everybody and sing




Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie sound that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft
He's in the army now, a blowing reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B

They made him blow his bugle for his Uncle Sam,
It really brought him down because he could not jam.
The Captain seemed to understand
Because the next thing the Cap went out and drafted a band
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B

A root a toot a tootily toot
He blows it eight to the bar, in boogie rhythm.
And he can't blow a note unless the base and guitar is playing with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B

He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
And when he plays the boogie woogie bugle he was busy as a buzy bee
And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B

Lal doodily adda doodily adda doot doot
He blows it eight to the bar
He can't blow a note if the base and guitar isn't with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B

He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night
And wakes them up the same way in the early bright
They clap their hands and stamp their feet
Cause they know how he blows when someone gives him the beat.
Whoa whoa he wakes them up when he plays reveille
The boogie woogie bugle boy of company B

And the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B
He's some boogie woogie bugle boy of company B




A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
That certain night, the night we met,
There was magic abroad in the air.
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear,
That when you turned and smiled at me,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
The moon that lingered over London Town,
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown,
How could he know we two were so in love,
The whole darn world seemed upside down.

The streets of town were paved with stars,
It was such a romantic affair,
And when we kissed and said goodnight,
The nightingale sang in Berkeley Square




It's All Coming Back To Me Now
There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window

There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever

I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made

But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
It's all coming back
It's all coming back to me now

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby Baby

If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now

But it's all coming back

There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever

But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then

But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
It's all coming back
It's all coming back to me now

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby

When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now

If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now




The House Is Rockin'
If the house is a rockin' don't bother knocking
If the house is a rockin' don't bother knocking
If the house is a rockin' don't bother, come on in.

Kick off your shoes, start losing the blues

If the house is a rockin' don't bother knocking
If the house is a rockin' don't bother knocking

If the house is a rockin' don't bother knocking
If the house is a rockin' don't bother, come on in.

Well walking up the street you can hear the sound
So bad I can tell they are laying them down
I've seen it all for years, they've got nothing to lose
So get out on the floor and baby shake shake some blues

If the house is a rockin' don't bother knocking
If the house is a rockin' don't bother knocking
If the house is a rockin' don't bother, come on in.




Secret Agent Man
There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say, or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name




Sexual Healing
Ooh, now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing




Why Can't We Be Friends
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you 'round for a long long time
I really 'membered you when you drink my wine

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around
I bring my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony
I'd kinda like to be the President
so I can show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Sometimes I don't speak too bright
but yet I know what I'm talking about
I know you're working for the CIA
they wouldn't have you in the Mafia

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Cherish
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you

Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are driving me out of my mind

Oh, I could say I need you, but then you'd realize
That I want you, just like a thousand other guys
Who'd say they loved you with all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you
And I do cherish you
And I do cherish you
Cherish is the word




For Once In My Life
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me
And I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it"
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
Someone who needs me




The Promise
Say goodbye?
When I can barely say goodnight
When I can hardly take my eyes from yours
How far can I go?

Walk away?
The thought would never cross my mind
I couldn't turn my back on Spring or Fall
Your smile least of all

When I say always
I mean forever
I trust tomorrow as much as today
I am not afraid to say I love you
But I promise you
I'll never say goodbye

We're dancers
On a crowded floor
while other dancers leave from song to song
Our music goes on

On and on
And if I never leave your arms
I really would have traveled everywhere
For my world is there

When I say always
I mean forever
I trust tomorrow as much today
I am not afraid to say I love you
And I promise you
I'll never say goodbye




Glory Of Love
You've got to give a little, take a little
And let your poor heart break a little
That's the story of,
That's the glory of love

You've got to laugh a little, cry a little
Until the clouds roll by a little
That's the story of,
That's the glory of love

As long as there's the two of us
We've got the world and all its charms
And when the world is through with us
We've got each other's arms

You've got to win a little, lose a little
Yes, and always have the blues a little
That's the story of,
That's the glory of love




Strangers In the Night
Strangers in the night, exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night, what were the chances
We'd be sharing love... before the night was through?

Something in your eyes, was so inviting
Something in your smile, was so exciting
Something in my heart... told me I must have you.

Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away and -

Ever since that night, we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night

Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away and -

Ever since that night, we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night
For strangers in the night
For strangers in the night...




Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way, some how

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

No wind, no rain

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough




Home For The Holidays
Oh, there’s no place like
home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin’ for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin’ down
To Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, ‘cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want
To be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home




I Remember You
I remember you, you're the one that made
My dreams come true a few kisses ago.
I remember you, you're the one that said,
"I love you too, didn't you know?"

I remember too, a distant bell,
And stars that fell, like rain, out of the blue.
When my life is through and the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all, I shall tell them I remember you.





Beverly Hillbillies Theme
Come 'n listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.
And then one day, he was shootin' at some food
And up through the ground come a bubblin' crude.
Oil, that is; black gold; Texas tea.

Well, the first thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire
Kin folk said, "Jed, move away from there."
Said, "Californy is the place you oughta be."
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
Hills, that is; swimmin' pools; movie stars.


And at the end of the show...

Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin;
they would like to thank you folks for kindly droppin' in.
You're all invited back again to this locality;
to have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality.
Hillbilly, that is; set a spell; take your shoes off;
Y'all come back now, ya' hear?




The Very Thought Of You

(Words and Music By Ray Noble)
(Copyright 1934 by Campbell Connelly, Inc., and Warner Bros., Inc, renewed)


The very thought of you, and I forget to do
the little ordinary things that every one ought to do.
I'm living in a kind of day dream, I'm happy as a king,
and foolish though it may seem to me, that's ev'ry thing.

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you,
You'll never know how slow the moments go 'til I'm near to you.
I see your face in ev'ry flower, your eyes in stars above,
It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love.




Time After Time

Time after time I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loved by you,
So lucky to be the one you run to see
In the evening when the day is through.

I only know what I know.
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young - so new.
And time after time you'll hear me say
That, "I'm so lucky to be loved by you."




I'll Never Fall In Love Again
(Burt Bacharach)
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again




The Way We Were
(Written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and Marvin Hamlisch)

Memories,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember . . .
The way we were . . .
The way we were . . .
