1. _ Surabaya Johnny
I was young, i was just sixteen then,
When you came up from burma one day.
And you told me to pack up my suitcase,
And i did, and you took me away.
I said, "do you work nice and steady,
Or do you go sailing and roving out to sea?"
And you said, "i have a job on the railroad,
And baby, how swell it's all gonna be."
You said a lot, johnny. it was all lies.
You sure had me fooled, right from the start.
I hate you when you laugh at me like that.
Take that pipe out of your mouth, johnny.
Surabaya johnny. is it really the end?
Surabayajohnny. will the hurt ever mend?
Surabaya johnny. ooh, i burn at your touch.
You got no heart, johnny, but oh, i love you so much.
Thought at first you were kind and gentle,
'til i packed up and went off with you.
And it lasted two weeks until one day
You laughed at me and hit me too.
You dragged me all over the city,
Up the river and down to the sea.
Now i look at myself in the mirror
And some old woman looks back at me.
You didn't want love, johnny, you wanted money.
I gave you all i had. you wanted more.
Oh, don't look at me that way.
I'm only trying to talk to you.
Wipe that grin off your face, johnny.
>surabaya johnny. is it really the end?
Surabayajohnny. will the pain never mend?
Surabaya johnny. how i burn at your touch.
You got no heart, johnny, but oh, i love you so much.
When we met i forgot to ask you
Why they called you that funny name,
But in every hotel on the seacoast
I found out, and i loved you all the same.
I'm tired. i'm worn out.
The sea's pounding in my ears.
And i reach out my arms to hold you.
You're not here and who even cares?
You got no heart, johnny. you're just no good.
You going now? oh, tell me why.
I love you after all, johnny, like that very first day.
Don't laugh at me no more, johnny.
Surabaya johnny. is it really the end?
Surabayajohnny. will the hurt ever mend?
Surabaya johnny. oh, i burn at your touch.
You got no heart, johnny, but oh, i love you,
I love you, i love you so much.

2. _ Optimistic Voices / Lullaby Of Broadway
You're out of the woods,
You're out of the dark,
You're out of the night.
Step into the sun,
Step into the light,
Then open your eyes
And love will open, ahhh,
Open, ahhh,
Open, open, open, open up.
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of broadway.
The hip-hooray and balley-hoo.
The lullaby of broadway.
The rumble of the subway train.
The rattle of the taxi.
The daffodils who entertain
At angelo's and maxi's.
When a broadway baby says good night,
It's early in the morning.
Manhattan babys don't sleep tight
Until the dawn.
Good night, baby.
Good night. milkman's on his way.
Doon, doon, doon.
Sleep tight, baby.
Sleep tight. let's call it a day. hey!
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of broadway.
The hi-de-hi and boop-boop-buh-doo.
It's just the lullaby of broadway.
The band begins to go to town
And everyone goes crazy.
You rock-a-bye your baby 'round
'til everything gets hazy.
Hush-a-bye, i'm gonna buy you this and that,
You hear your daddy sing.
Then baby goes home to her flat
To sleep all day.
Good night, baby.
Good night. the milkman's on his way.
Do, do, do, doodley-do.
Sleep tight,oh, my baby.
Sleep tight. let's call it a day.
Listen to the lullaby of
Ol-bo-ba-bo-ba-b'old doo doo doo broadway!
The lulla-lullaby of broadway!

3. _ Skylark
Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Can you tell me where my love may be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where he's just waiting to be kissed?
Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight have you heard the music?
In the night, wonderful music.
Faint as a will-o'-the-wisp, crazy as a loon,
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.
Oh, skylark, i don't know, i don't know
If you can find these things,
But my heart, my heart is riding on your wings.
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there?
Oh, won't you lead me there?
Lead me there, lead me there.
Lead me there, skylark, skylark, skylark, there!

4. _ Twisted
"how ya doin' girls? long time, no see. listen, i've been to the doctor lately. honey, i just spent forty dollars to hear that from that guy?"
My analyst told me
That i was right out of my head.
The way he described it he said,
"you'd be better off dead
Than alive."
I didn't listen to his jive.
I knew all along he was all wrong,
And i knew that he thought i was crazy,
But you know i'm not. oh, no.
My analyst told me
That i was right out of my head.
He said i need treatment.
But i'm not that easily led.
He said i was the type that was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind.
And he thought i was nuts.
No more if's or and's or but's.
Oh, no.
They say as a child i appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas.
But i knew what was happenin',
I knew i was a genius.
What's so strange when you know that
You're a wizard at three?
I said, "baby, this is meant for me, me, me, me."
I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight.
That's why i drank a fifth of vodka one night.
My parent's got frantic, didn't know what to do.
But i had saw some crazy things
Before i came to.
Now, do you think i was crazy?
I may have been only three but i was swingin'.
They all laughed at a. graham bell,
They all laughed at edison,
And also at einstein.
So why should i feel sorry if they just
Didn't understand the reasoning and the logic
That went on in my head.
I had a brain, it was insane.
So i just let them laugh at me
When i refused to ride on all those double-decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top.
Aaaaaaah.
"did you ever hear a story like that in your life? honey, that chick is bananas. do you hear? bananas. oh, waiter, bring me another banana dacquari, would ya?"
Ba, ba, ba, ba!
"oh, here she comes again."
Badada, badada, badada. wo!
My analyst told me
That i was right out of my head.
But i said, "doctor,
I think that it's you instead.
'cause i got a thing that's so unique and new,
It proves that i got the last laugh on you.
'cause instead of one head, ooh, i got two.
And you know two heads are better than one."
"honey, she is twisted"

5. _ In The Mood
Jumping with my boy, sid
Right here in the city.
Don't you know that is was grand?
Really grand, so grand.
And then you came along,
Then you came along, boy.
And sang your groovy song,
Sang a song and i asked:
Mr. whatchacallem, whatcha doing tonight?
Hope you're in the mood
Because i'm feeling just right.
How's about a corner
With a table for two?
Where the music's mellow
Is a gay rendezvous.
There's no chance romancing
With a blue attitude.
You know you got to do some dancing
To get in the mood.
Mr. watchacallem, i'm indebted to you.
You're here. it goes to show what good influence can do.
Never felt so happy or so fully alive.
He's a jam a jumpin', it's a powerful jive!
Swing-a-roo is giving me a new attitude.
My heart is full of rhythm
And i'm in the mood.
In the mood (oh boy) be mine forever.
In the groove (that boy) and leave me never.
In the mood (oh joy) give me some kissing.
You know it won't be long
Before you're in the mood!
Don't be rude, i love you madly.
It's up to you, i'll take you gladly.
Love is blind, my vision's hazy.
It didn't take me long to say
I'm in the mood!
Do ba do ba do bop boo da da day.
Ba da-n-da da-n do da-n do day.
Who's that guy with the beautiful eyes?
'n' look at those lips, i'd try 'em for size.
Hey! swing with me!
What a wing it'd be!
May i intrude? it's time to dance
And i'm in the mood!
Oh, hold me darling, let's dance.
What a dreamy romance.
It's a quarter to three.
There's a mess-o-that moon.
Let's share it with me.
You know, i think it's rude
To keep me this way
When i'm in the mood.
I'm in the mood, in the groove!
In the mood, ah, ah, ah!
Man-oh-man, wow!
Now you really got me lookin'.
Oh, and you really got me cookin', oh!
My heart went flip, my brain went skip.
I said c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
I'm hot now! i love you madly!
Right now! i'll take you gladly!
Tight now! i'll be in!
And now i'm really in the mood, boy!
Rompin'! stompin'! smokin'!
Why don't we go somewhere and smooch, boy?
It's got to be right now!
It's gotta be right now!
It's got to be right now!
I'm only saying that it didn't take me long,
Didn't take me long, didn't take me long
To say i'm in the mood.
Your flat foot floozy wants a good boy!

6. _ Drinking Again
Drinkin' again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
Having a few.
Wishing that you were here.
Making the rounds.
Buying a round for total strangers.
Just being a fool,
'cause i keep hoping, hoping, hoping you'll appear.
Sure i can borrow a smoke.
I can sit here all night and tell these jokers some jokes,
But who wants to laugh, who's gonna laugh
At a broken heart?
Oh, my heart is aching, i swear it's breaking.
And i'm drinking again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
And i'm tryin' to get home
With nothing, nothing but a memory.
Yes, i'm dying to get home,
Dying to get home.
And i got nothin' but a bottle of beer,
And just my memory.

7. _ I Shall Be Released
They say everything can be replaced.
That every distance is not near.
So i remember every face
Of every man who put me here.
They say every woman needs protection,
Then they turn around and tell you
Every woman's got to fall.
I swear i see my own reflection
Somewhere far beyond this wall.
I see my life come shining
From the west down to the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
Now yonder stands
There in that lonely crowd,
A man who swears he is not to blame, no, no.
And if you ask him has he ever seen this lonely woman,
He'll tell you, "no, no, no."
What's more, he does not know my name!
But i see my light come shining,
Shining, shining, shining from the west
Straight on down to the east.
Ah-anyday now, any, any old day now,
I am going to, i am going to be released, yeah!
They tell ya, tell ya every woman,
They tell ya every woman
Got to have protection,
Then they turn around and tell ya,
"no! we gonna make that-a woman fall!"
Oh, god, i swear! i swear i see,
I see my, my very own reflection
Far and away beyond, way, way beyond
These four walls!
That's right! i see, i see my life, my life,
My life is shining, shining, shining,
Shining, shining, shining, shining
From the west straight on down to the east.
And any day now, do you hear me?
Any day now, i shall be,
I am going to be released!
Any day now, any day now, any day now,
Any, any day now, oh, any day now,
Any day, any day, any day,
Any day, any day, any day,
Woah, any day, any day, any old day now,
Yeah, any day now
I am going to, i shall be released!
Woah, any day now, i shall see again!
Any day now, i shall be free again!
Any day now, they'll let me be again!
Oh, any day now, any day now, any day now,
Whoa, help me, any day, any day,
Any old day now . . .

8. _ Breaking Up Somebody's Home
I got a funny feelin' that all of you girls
Had better hold on to your man.
'cause i feel, i says i feel,
I feeeeel like breaking up somebody's home.
See, lying here all alone
On a rainy night like this.
Starvin' for some lovin'.
Oh-oh, what i would give,
What i would give for just one kiss.
Every rain drop i hear
Against my window pane.
And it's beatin' through
So loud and clear.
Words, words that speak your name.
See i, i got no where to turn
Now that you have gone,
And i feel like
Breaking up somebody's home.
I know it's useless
Hangin' on when you belong to someone else.
But i can't shake the feelin'.
Oh, after all, i didn't make this bed.
I got no where to turn
Na, na, na, now, na, now, now that you have gone.
I saw the boy last night
And i believe i caught a chill.
Well, i could, i could not control the vibration,
And my heart, my heart,
My heart justa would not stand still.
I got no where to turn
A now, now, now, now that you have gone,
And i feel like
Breaking up somebody's home.
Got no where, a no where to run
And i'm so damn tired of being all alone,
And i feel like
Breaking up somebody's home.
I know it's useless
Hangion' on when you, you, you, ya,
You belong to someone else.
But i, la, la, la, can't shake the feeling,
Oh, after all, i didn't want it this way.
I swear i did not want it this way.
But i got no where, a no where to run,
And i'm so g-ddamned tired of being alone,
And i feel like breaking up somebody's home.
Got no where, a no where to run,
And i'm so g-ddamned tired of being alone,
And i, i feel like, feel like,
Breaking up some mutha's home.
One more time.
I, i got no where to turn,
A no where to, no where to, no where to turn,
And i feel like, i feel like,
Breaking, breaking up somebosy's home.
I gotta break up somebody's home.

10. _ Uptown/don't Say Nothing Bad About My Baby/ - Doo Run Run
He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
Where everyone's his boss,
And he's lost in an angry land.
He's a little man.
But then he comes uptown
Each evening to my tentament.
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent.
And when he's there with me
He can see that he's everything.
The man is tall, he don't crawl. he's a king.
Downtown he's just one of a million guys.
He don't get no breaks,
And he takes all they got to give
'cause he's got to live.
But then he comes uptown
Where he can hold his head up high.
And uptown he knows i'm gonna be standing by.
And when i take his hand,
There's no man who can put him down, down, down.
Oh, the world's so sweet at his feet when he's uptown.
Whoa-oo-oh-whoa.
When he's uptown.
Whoa-oo-whoa-oo-whoa-oh-oh.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't!
Met him on a monday and my heart stood still.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Somebody told me that his name was bill.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Whoa, my heart stood still.
Yeah, his name was bill.
And when he walked me home,
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
He knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
He looked kind of quiet. my, oh my.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Oh, he caught my eye.
My, my, my, my, oh my.
And when he walked me home,
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Here we go!
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da do run run, hey!
