Heavenly Bonny
Oh! Miss. B.
You look dandy
When you smile
And I frankly love your style.
You can dance like a ballerina
Like a prima Donna
And better than Lady Gaga.
Oh! Miss B.
You sing like a pristine bee
The beautiful one that has charisma
Oh! You are a sweet Mama.
You can mimic countless exotic birds
Most men fear you because you keep your words
And you are not afraid to chase the cowards.
You are heavenly beauteous
I keep my silence
And you keep your distance
This society is grossly litigious.
Oh! Miss. B.
It is a pleasure to see you
You make the sky blue
And my days unusually happy.
You can dance like a ballerina
Like a prima Donna
And better than Lady Gaga.
You can sing, you can move
You can put me in the groove
You are my whimsical dove.

A Prima Donna
Madame La Pompadour cannot come to work,
the world is spinning out of control, her dog
needs medical attention, her car cannot start in
the morning, her dog needs another vet, now
Madame Pompadour's newly built office is
empty - it was given as a compelling condition
for her return to work, yet it seems something
is lacking still, can we guess what it is
Maybe a chauffeur to drive her to work every
morning, a special kennel next to her office so
she can bring her dogs to be with her all day,
maybe a built-in a humidifier so she can breathe
freely without germs, maybe a Jacuzzi so she can
get rid of the tension right here at work, maybe
her own cook and kitchenette so she can order
the right meals with the same aplomb as
A Lady Gaga, surely Madame La Pompadour has
already dethroned both Madonna and Lady Gaga
for being a prima donna who gets her own way!

Clair De Lune / Ballerina
(Dennis DeYoung)
It seems you finally had to choose
I guess there was no other way
Between my love and satin shoes
I knew the words you'd have to say
It all began so long ago
That the memory's hardly clear
But when I seen you dance I know
Half your love I'll always share
Ballerina when you dance there's music
Colored lights illuminate your movement
Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile
Ballerina from the first I knew that
You would always have to dance I knew that
There would surely come a day when you would go
Baby I know...
Dance for me, I beg of you, dance for me
Dance for me, ballerina, dance for me
Ballerina when you dance there's music
Colored lights illuminate your movement
Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile

I miss the way you say my name
I miss your smile
I miss the way you make me feel
I miss you
I miss the sparkle in your eyes
I miss the love you had for me
I miss having your shoulder to cry on
I miss your arms around me
I miss the way you make me smile
I miss the way you hug me
I miss the way we always met
I miss everything about you
I miss your warmth
I miss the love raidiating from you
I miss the softness of your lips
I miss you

Sicilian Emigrant’s Song
O—eh—lee! La—la!
Donna! Donna!
Blue is the sky of Palermo;
Blue is the little bay;
And dost thou remember the orange and fig,
The lively sun and the sea breeze at evening?
Hey—la!
Donna! Donna! Maria!
O—eh—li! La—la!
Donna! Donna!
Gray is the sky of this land.
Gray and green is the water.
I see no trees, dost thou? The wind
Is cold for the big woman there with the candle.
Hey—la!
Donna! Donna! Maria!
O—eh—li! O—la!
Donna! Donna!
I sang thee by the blue waters;
I sing thee here in the gray dawning.
Kiss, for I put down my guitar;
I’ll sing thee more songs after the landing.
O Jesu, I love thee!
Donna! Donna! Maria!

Imperatives
LIVE frail spirit
live within yourself
live as both clay and sculptor
use your artistry
to mold a masterpiece
SING as a diva sings:
bold, forceful, passionate
Sing the full range of notes
with richness that resonates
throughout the hall
DANCE with grace and strength
dance with joy and confidence
with a partner or alone
dance with the balance of a prima ballerina
SPEAK as a Shakespearean actor
with charismatic stage presence
and stentorian authority
LAUGH as a child laughs
in abandonment and without shame
SMILE as a new mother smiles
when she holds her baby for the first time
LOVE frail spirit
love as your heart needs
love in defiance of expectations
that ignore reality and the beauty of truth
Love as others love you

Dance, Ballerina, Dance
(bob russell, carl sigman)
Dance, ballerina, dance
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin heart.
Dance, ballerina, dance
You mustnt once forget a dancer has to dance the part.
Whirl, ballerina, whirl
And just ignore the chair thats empty in the second row.
This is your moment, girl,
Although hes not out there applauding as you steal the show.
Once you said his love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead.
I guess thats your concern,
We live and learn.
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you cant afford a backward glance.
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As round and round you go
So ballerina, dance
Dance, dance!
Whirl, ballerina!
Once you said his love must wait its turn,
You wanted fame instead.
I guess thats your concern,
We live and learn.
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you cant afford a backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As round and round you go
So ballerina, dance!

I Miss
i miss your laugh
i miss your jokes
i miss the old days
when you used to chase after me
i miss the way you used to hold me
i miss the way you used to kiss my lips
i miss the day you taught me how to dance
so come back to me
i miss you my dear
i miss the way you used to touch me
i miss the day we have our first kiss
so come back to me
back to where you belong
where we both belong
oh my dear, i miss you
i miss your voice'

My Man Medley
Spoken:
I just wanna say this
This is something I thing most of you ladies will identify with
And maybe some of you men too
(the man I love)
Someday hell come along
The man I love
And hell be rich and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
Ill do my best to make him stay
Hell look at me and smile
Ill understand
And maybe for awhile
Hell take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both wont say a word
Spoken:
You know Im the kind of lady
That always seems to find the wrong man
At the wrong place at the wrong time
Its not that I go out looking for him
But somehow he always seems to find me
You see what Im looking for is the kind of man
That comes home with candy
And flowers sayin come on put on your dancing shoes
Cause were gonna wine and dine, wine and dine
But what I always seem to find is the kind of man
That comes home fussing
And fighting, breaking my best dishes
And beat my head outside the wall
Shows no love no respect and nothing at all
(I got it bad and that aint good)
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad and that aint good!
(no, it aint good at all, you know)
Spoken:
Listen, have you been treating your lady nice lately, you have?
And how about you?
Great, well Ive been gettin rocked completely!
My poor heart is sentimental its not made of wood
I got it bad and that aint good
Spoken:
So you see on monday nights
I just go out and drink and drink
But when the weekends over on monday rolls aroun
I end up like I start out just cryin my heart out
Cryin my heart out
Lord above me (come on) make him love me
Then he should
I got it bad baby
I got it bad baby
I got it bad and that aint good!
No it aint good at all you know
Spoken:
But listen mister big shot Ive got your number
And Ill take care of you
And you too and you and you and you
(some of these days)
Some of these days
Youre gonna miss your donna
Some of these days
Youre gonna feel so lonely
Youll miss my huggin
Youll miss my kissin
Youll miss me honey
When youre far away
Youre gonna be so lonely
For me only
Cause you know daddy
You had you way
And if I leave you
You know its gonna grieve you
Youre gonna miss your sweet lovin donna
Some of these days
And if I leave you
You know its gonna grieve you
Youre gonna miss your sweet little donna
Some of these days
Hey honey call me when you got time
Know what I mean...

I Miss The Rain
i miss the sun shining face in my life
it was disappear for long time
i miss the smile on your face before
i do have for who smile for me
i miss the kiss of sweet lips feelings
who loved me as much as i want
i miss the tears of eyes when i'm cried
and someone make me smile and naughty
i miss the rain when we are together
i miss the rain when we have dance
with u in nights when rain..
i miss the sky of clouds and thunder too
bcaz you embarrassed me soo..
i miss the touch your lovely fingers
i miss the touch of one big lover..
i feels it and i wants it..too..
but it is not possible in this way
only possible in haven and 7th heaven

I Miss You Mama
(hendrix, pilson, parrish)
Morning comes
Still got you
On my mind
I just cant leave
These memories
Far behind
But mama
I just cant
Let you go
Theres so much
I would like
You to know
I miss you mama
And theres nothing I can do
I want to say I love you
I miss you mama
And I dont know what to do
But I know you feel it too
Yes, you do
Even though
There were days
That you cried
You always knew
I was there
By your side
And mama
Now we all
Must be strong
To let you know
That your love
Will carry on
I miss you mama
And theres nothing I can do
I wan to say I love you
I miss you mama
And I dont know what to do
But I know you feel it too
Oh, I miss you
When Im lost
Your spirit showed the way
And together well climb
Yes, well climb
I miss you mama
And theres nothing I can do
I want to say I love you
I miss you mama
And I dont know what to do
But I know you feel it too
I miss you mama
And theres nothing I can do
But I know you feel it too
Oh, I miss you
Oh, I want to say

Little miss brag
Little Miss Brag has much to say
To the rich little lady from over the way
And the rich little lady puts out a lip
As she looks at her own white, dainty slip,
And wishes that she could wear a gown
As pretty as gingham of faded brown!
For little Miss Brag she lays much stress
On the privileges of a gingham dress -
"Aha,
Oho!"
The rich little lady from over the way
Has beautiful dolls in vast array;
Yet she envies the raggedy home-made doll
She hears our little Miss Brag extol.
For the raggedy doll can fear no hurt
From wet, or heat, or tumble, or dirt!
Her nose is inked, and her mouth is, too,
And one eye's black and the other's blue -
"Aha,
Oho!"
The rich little lady goes out to ride
With footmen standing up outside,
Yet wishes that, sometimes, after dark
Her father would trundle her in the park; -
That, sometimes, her mother would sing the things
Little Miss Brag says her mother sings
When through the attic window streams
The moonlight full of golden dreams -
"Aha,
Oho!"
Yes, little Miss Brag has much to say
To the rich little lady from over the way;
And yet who knows but from her heart
Often the bitter sighs upstart -
Uprise to lose their burn and sting
In the grace of the tongue that loves to sing
Praise of the treasures all its own!
So I've come to love that treble tone -
"Aha,
Oho!"

Dance in the Evening
I dance in the evening with wild abandon
when there is no one around.
I dance to the music I hear in my head
barefoot on the ground.
I dance in my dreams like a ballerina
and never miss a step.
I twist, I spin and leap in the air
and it feels so heavenly.
But when the evening is over
and I awaken from sleep at night
I plod through the day with heavy feet,
never with feet so light.
