Songs This Week

1. Mamma Mia

I’ve been cheated by you since I don’t know when

So I made up my mind, it must come to an end

Look at me now, will I ever learn?

I don’t know how but I suddenly lose control

There’s a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again, My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again? My my, just how much I’ve missed you

Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted, Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go? Mamma mia, now I really know,

My my, I could never let you go.

I’ve been angry and sad about things that you do

I can’t count all the times that I’ve told you “we’re through”

And when you go, when you slam the door

I think you know that you won’t be away too long

You know that I’m not that strong

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again, My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again? My my, just how much I’ve missed you

Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted, Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, even if I say, “Bye bye, leave me now or never”

Mamma mia, it’s a game we play, “Bye bye” doesn’t mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again, My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again

My my, just how much I’ve missed you?

Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted, Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go? Mamma mia, now I really know

My my, I could never let you go

My my, I could never let you go

2. Memory

Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower

And a rose that is fading, Roses wither away

Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn

I am waiting … for the day

Midnight, not a sound on the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone

In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

Memory, all alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory … live again

Every streetlamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and a streetlamp gutters, And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life, And I mustn’t give in

When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too

And a new day … will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days, The stale cold smell of morning

A streetlamp dies another night is over, Another day is dawning

Touch me, it’s so easy to leave me, All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me you’ll understand what happiness is,

Look, a new day … has begun

5. I Whistle A Happy Tune

Whenever I feel afraid I hold my head erect

And whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I’m afraid

While shivering in my shoes I strike a careless pose

And whistle a happy tune and no one ever knows I’m afraid

The result of this deception is very strange to tell

For when I fool the people I fear I fool myself as well

I whistle a happy tune and every single time

The happiness in the tune convinces me that I’m not afraid

Make believe you’re brave and the trick will take you far

You may be as brave as you make believe you are

You may be as brave as you make believe you are

I whistle a happy tune and every single time

The happiness in the tune convinces me that I’m not afraid

6. Black Hills Of Dakota

Take me back to the Black Hills, the Black Hills of Dakota

To the beautiful Indian country that I love

Lost my heart in the Black Hills, the Black Hills of Dakota

Where the pines are so high that they kiss the sky above

And when I get that lonesome feeling

And I’m miles away from home

I hear the voice of the mystic mountains calling me back home

So take me back to the Black Hills, the Black Hills of Dakota

To the beautiful Indian country that I love

Black hills, black hills, though I’ve wandered far away

Black hills, black hills, I’ll come back to you someday

Where the deer and the buffalo roam

And the red wing feathers her nest

That the place that I call my home

The land that I love the best, so take me

Take me back to the Black Hills, the Black Hills of Dakota

To the beautiful Indian country that I love

Lost my heart in the Black Hills, the Black Hills of Dakota

Where the pines are so high that they kiss the sky above

And when I get that lonesome feeling

And I’m miles away from home

I hear the voice of the mystic mountains calling me back home

So take me back to the Black Hills, the Black Hills of Dakota

To the beautiful Indian country that I love

To the beautiful Indian country that I love

To the beautiful Indian country that I love

7. On The Street Where You Live

I have often walked down this street before;

But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.

All at   once am I sev’ral stories high.

Knowing I’m on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees in the heart  of town?

Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?

Does enchantment pour out of ev’ry door?

No, it’s just on the street where you live!

And oh! The towering feeling

Just to know somehow you are near

The o – verpowering feeling

That any second you may suddenly appear!

People stop and stare, they don’t bother me

For there’s nowhere else on earth that I would rather be

Let the  time go by, I won’t care if I

Can be here on the street where you live

8. Circle Of Life

From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There’s more to be seen than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten

Some say live and let live

But all are agreed as they join the stampede

You should never take more than you give

In the circle of life

It’s the wheel of fortune

It’s the leap of faith

It’s the band of hope

‘Til we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside

And some of soar to the stars

And some of us sail through our troubles

And some have to live with the scars

There’s far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

In the circle of life

It’s the wheel of fortune

It’s the leap of faith

It’s the band of hope

‘Til we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle of life

It’s the wheel of fortune

It’s the leap of faith

It’s the band of hope

‘Til we find our place

On the path unwinding

9. I Could Have Danced All Night

Bed, bed! I couldn’t go to bed

My head’s too light to try to set it down

Sleep, sleep! I couldn’t sleep tonight

Not for all the jewels in the crown

I could have danced all night,

I could have danced all night,

And still have begged for more!

I could have spread my wings

And done a thousand things

I’ve nev- er done be – fore!

I’ll never know what made it so ex – ci – ting;

Why all at once my heart took flight

I on – ly know when she began to dance with me

I could have danced, danced, danced all night!

10. Shall We Dance

We’ve just been introduced, I do not know you well

But when the music started, something drew me to your side

So many men and girls are in each other’s arms

It made me think we might be similarly occupied

Shall we dance?

On a bright cloud of music, shall we fly?

Shall we dance?

Shall we then say “Goodnight” and mean “Goodbye”?

Or perchance, when the last little star has left the sky

Shall we still be together

With our arms around each other

And shall you be my new romance?

On the clear understanding

That this kind of thing can happen

Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we dance?

11. Thank You For The Music

I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore

If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before

But I have a talent, a wonderful thing

‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing

I’m so grateful and proud, all I want is to sing it out loud

So I say thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing

Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing

Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty

What would life be, without a song or a dance what are we?

So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

So I say thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing

Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing

Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty

What would life be, without a song or a dance what are we?

So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me

I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair

I wanna sing it out to everybody

What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I say thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing

Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing

Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty

What would life be, without a song or a dance what are we?

So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me

12. Secret Love

Once I had a secret love..

that lived within the heart of me.

All too soon my secret love..

became impatient to be free.

So, I told the friendly star..

the way that dreamers often do

Just how wonderful you are

and why I’m so in love with you

Now, I shout it from the highest hills

even told the golden daffo..dils

At last my heart’s an open door

and my secret love’s no secret anymore

Now, I shout it from the highest hills

even told the golden daffo..dils

At last my heart’s an open door

and my secret love’s no secret anymore

13. Consider Yourself

Consider yourself at home, consider yourself one of the family

I’ve taken to you so strong, it’s clear, we’re going to get a-long

Consider yourself well in, consider yourself part of the furniture

There isn’t a lot to spare, who cares?

Whatever we’ve got we share!

If it should chance to be we should see some harder days

Empty larder days, why grouse?

Always a chance we’ll meet, somebody to foot the bill

Then the drinks are on the house!

Consider yourself our mate

We don’t want to have no fuss,

For, after some consideration, we can state

Consider yourself, one of us!

Consider yourself at home, consider yourself one of the family

I’ve taken to you so strong, it’s clear, we’re, going to get a-long

Consider yourself well in, consider yourself part of the furniture

There isn’t a lot to spare, who cares?

Whatever we’ve got we share!

Nobody tries to be lah-di-dah or uppity.

There’s a cup-o’-tea for all

Only it’s wise to be, handy with a rolling pin

When the landlord comes to call

Consider yourself our mate

We don’t want to have no fuss,

For, after some consideration, we can state

Consider yourself, one of us!

Consider yourself, one of us!     

Consider yourself, one of us!

14. Do You Hear The People Sing

Do you hear the people sing,

Singing the song of angry men,  

It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again,

When the beating of your heart,

Echoes the beating of the drum,

There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes.

Will you join in our crusade

Who will be strong and stand with me,

Beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see,

Then join in the fight that will give you the right to be free,

Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men,  

It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again,

When the beating of your heart

Echoes the beating of the drums,

There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes.

Will you give all you can give so that our banner may advance,

Some will fall and some will live

Will you stand up and take the chance

The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men,  

It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again,

When the beating of your heart

Echoes the beating of the drum,

There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes.

15. Let’s Go Fly A Kite

Let’s go fly a kite up to the highest height,

Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring!

Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear,

Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

With tuppence for paper and strings,

You can have your own set of wings.

With your feet on the ground you’re a bird in flight,

With your fist holding tight    to the string of your kite.

Oh, oh, oh!

Let’s go fly a kite up to the highest height,

Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring!

Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear,

Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

When you send it flyin’ up there,

All at once you’re lighter than air.

You can dance on the breeze over ‘ouses and trees,

With your fist ‘olding tight   to the string of your kite.

Oh, oh, oh!

Let’s go fly a kite up to the highest height,

Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring!

Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear,

Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

16. Some Enchanted Evening

Once you have found her, Never let her go

Once you have found her, Never let her

Some enchanted evening, You may see a stranger

You may see a stranger Across a crowded room

And somehow you know, You know even then

That somewhere you’ll see her Again and again

Some enchanted evening Someone may be laughin’

You may hear her laughin’ Across a crowded room

And night after night, As strange as it seems

The sound of her laughter Will sing in your dreams

Who can explain it, who can tell you why?

Fools give you reasons, wise men never try

Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love

When you feel her call you across a crowded room

Then fly to her side, And make her your own

Or all through your life you May dream all alone

Once you have found her, Never let her go

Once you have found her, Ne-ver let her … go!

17. Leaning On A Lamp Post

I’m leaning on a lamp, maybe you think, I look a tramp,

Or you may think I’m hanging ’round to steal a car

But no I’m not a crook, and if you think, that’s what I look,

I’ll tell you why I’m here, and what my motives are

I’m leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street,

In case a certain little lady comes by, Oh me, oh my,

I hope the little lady comes by

I don’t know if she’ll get away, she doesn’t always get away,

But anyhow I know that she’ll try Oh me,    oh my,

I hope the little lady comes by

There’s no other girl I would wait for,

but this one I’d break any date for,

I won’t have to ask what she’s late for,

she wouldn’t have to leave me flat,

She’s not a girl like that

Oh, she’s absolutely wonderful, and marvellous and beautiful.

And anyone can understand why,

I’m leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street

In case a certain little lady passes by

18. You’ll Never Walk Alone

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don’t be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm

There’s a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind

Walk on through the rain

Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you’ll never walk alone

You’ll never walk alone

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don’t be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm

There’s a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind

Walk on through the rain

Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you’ll never walk alone

You’ll ne-ver walk alone

19. Any Dream Will Do

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain

To see for certain what I thought I knew

Far, far away, someone was weeping

But the world was sleeping

Any dream will do

I wore my coat (I wore my coat), with golden lining (aah-aah-aah)

Bright colours shining (aah-aah), wonderful and new

And in the east (and in the east), the dawn was breaking (aah-aah-aah)

And the world was waking (aah-aah) any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat flew out of sight

The colours faded into darkness, I was left alone

(aah-aah-aah-aah-ah!)

May I return (may I return) to the beginning (aah-aah-aah)

The light is dimming (aah-aah), and the dream is too

The world and I (the world and I)

We are still waiting (aah-aah-aah), still hesitating (aah-aah)

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat flew out of sight

The colours faded into darkness, I was left alone

(aah-aah-aah-aah-ah!)

May I return (may I return) to the beginning (aah-aah-aah)

The light is dimming (aah-aah), and the dream is too

The world and I (the world and I)

We are still waiting (aah-aah-aah), still hesitating (aah-aah)

Any dream will do, any dream, any dre-am, any dream

Any dream will do, any dream, any dre-am, any dream

Any dream will do

Give me my coloured coat, my amazing, coloured coat

Give me my coloured coat, my amazing … coloured … coat
