The Next Big Thing

hello
it's me
I'm returning your call
it's monday wednesday friday
between noon and three
he says I
usually just let the phone ring
but I've always got a minute of time
for the next big thing

and I wonder
how can he see where he's going
with those dollar signs in front of his eyes?
I say thank you
for your interest
but my thing is already
just the right size

hello
it's me
yes I'll play for the door
nothing more
on a tuesday
he says baby
what is your name
I forgot
he says baby
tell me again
are you really hot

and I think
he does not hear what I'm saying
he's just looking at my eight by ten
and wondering about
the part that was left out
does she have a body
that will really draw them in?

how much do you want
how much are you willing to do
baby this is no business
for a sweet little girl like you
can you play the game
act it out
frame for frame
do you know your lines
let's hear them one more time

but I'd rather pay my dues
to the six people
sitting at the bar
than to all those men
in their business suits
who say I'll take you away from this
if you'll just
get in the car

Someone Ate The Baby

Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say
Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play
We'll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if she is dry
We'll never hear her asking why why why someone ate the baby
Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear
Someone ate the baby cause the baby isn't here
We'll give away her toys and clothes we'll never have to wipe her nose
Dad says that's the way it goes someone ate the baby
Someone ate the baby what a frightful thing to eat
Someone ate the baby though she wasn't very sweet
It was a heartless thing to do the policemen haven't got a clue
I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the baby

Dreadful

Someone ate the baby.
It's rather sad to say.
Someone ate the baby
So she won't be out to play.
We'll never hear her whiney cry
Or have to feel if she is dry.
We'll never hear her asking 'Why?'
Someone ate the baby.

Someone ate the baby.
It's absolutely clear
Someone ate the baby
'Cause the baby isn't here.
We'll give away her toys and clothes.
We'll never have to wipe her nose.
Dad says, 'That's the way it goes.'
Someone ate the baby.

Someone ate the baby.
What a frightful thing to eat!
Someone ate the baby
Though she wasn't very sweet.
It was a heartless thing to do.
The policemen haven't got a clue.
I simply can't imagine who
Would go and (burp) eat the baby.

Party People... Friday Night

Party, people, hey, its friday night
Were gonna rock this joint until the morning light
Crowd is jumping, hey, it feels all right
Forget monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, hey, its friday night
Just another day, sitting watching the clock
Tick tock, tick tock, but it feels like its stopped
Wishing time away, pushing monday through to friday
Im dreaming of the crowd; everybodys hanging out
Soft tops down, and were pumping the sounds
I can feel the vibe as were cruising the town
I cant wait til friday comes around
When the working week is done, got my money, and now, Im gonna get
Some
Party, people, hey, its friday night
Were gonna rock this joint until the morning light
Crowd is jumping, hey, it feels all right
Forget monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, hey, its friday night
So, you all ready?
We just keep rocking on
Feeling good
Just til the break of dawn
Do what I gotta do, Ill do what they say,
But I swear that ship is coming my way
Im gonna kiss this place goodbye
Im gonna chase my destiny
Im gonna make it friday every day
When the working week is done, got my money, and now, Im gonna get
Some
Party, people, hey, its friday night
Were gonna rock this joint until the morning light
Crowd is jumping, hey, it feels all right
Forget monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, hey, its friday night
Party, people, hey, its friday night
Were gonna rock this joint until the morning light
Crowd is jumping, hey, it feels all right
Forget monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, hey, its friday night
Bring, bring, telephone rings; tell me, baby, what youre saying
I know, sometimes, its hard to take it; trust me, baby, just believe
It
Monday, I know it goes so slow; tuesday, oh, I just dont know
Wednesday drives you crazy; thursdays over, man, its friday
Party, people, hey, its friday night
Were gonna rock this joint until the morning light
Crowd is jumping, hey, it feels all right
Forget monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, hey, its friday night

Baby Girl Baby Girl

Baby girl, Baby girl.
Please don' t come knocking at my door.
I can not take care of you,
Because my family is poor.
Baby girl, Baby girl.
Please go away.
Save it for another time,
Another place, another day.
Baby girl, Baby girl.
Can you hear the screams?
People don't care anymore.
This world is so mean!
Baby girl, Baby girl.
You have to understand.
I can not give you life.
Not in this foreign land.
Baby girl, Baby girl.
Growing inside of me.
I'll let you know when its time to be set free.

Oh No! Not My Baby

(gerry goffin / carole king)
When my friends told me
You had someone new
I didnt believe
A single word was true
I showed them all
I had a-faith in you
I just a-kept on saying
Oh no! not my baby
Oh no! not my sweet baby
Youre not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
My mama told me when rumours spread
Theres truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didnt listen to what she said
I kept a-right on saying
Oh no! not my baby
Oh no! not my sweet baby
Youre not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys
Well, you might have had a last-minute fling
But I am sure it didnt mean a thing
cause yesterday
You gave me your ring
And Im so glad that I kept on saying
Oh no! not my baby
Oh no! not my sweet baby
Youre not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys
Oh no! not my baby
Oh no! not my sweet baby
Oh no! not my baby
No, no, no not my sweet baby
Oh no! not my baby

Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, no, no
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
Ooh, I've got your picture hangin' on my wall
But it can't see or come to me
When I call your name (When I call your name)
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me and they don't groove me
Like when I hear (When I'm in your arms)
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear (In my ear)
No other sound
Is quite the same as your name (Quite the same as your name)
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
Ooh, I've got memories (Memories) to look back on
Though they help when you're gone
I'm well aware (I'm well aware)
Nothin' can take the place of you being there (Being there)
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, ooh baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

I lost all the love I had for you

other busters from around the way
so if you wanna play then lets play

What makes you think that you could run a game on me
when I was true to you girl from the begin
I was in love with you but you never really loved me at all
so I gotta let you go I put my heart out there then you closed the door
shut me out like a stepchild in the cold
ooh but it's ok I found someone else to love me anyway
so I gotta let know

I lost all the love I had for you
the day that you cheated on me boo
and there can never be no me and you
cause lately you been asking foney

so if you wanna play then lets play
believe me girl two can play that game

I'm not trying to hold you if you wanna leave
cause trust me I've got alots of girl on my team
and I wanted to be with you
at first no one else mattered to me
until you try to play me
baby tell me why o why would you throw it all away
don't you know that every dog has it's day
but now that I'm that so over you
there could never be you and me

I lost all the love I had for you
the day that you cheated on me boo
and there can never be no me and you
cause lately you been asking foney
I'm sorry you can't do me like those
other busters from around the way
so if you wanna play then lets play
believe me girl two can play that game

See I don't wanna hear your tried excuses
I ain't trying check for you
I wanna stay problem free

I don't love you know more
I don't need you in my life
so i'm saying bye bye bye

I'm saying bye bye baby
bye saying bye bye baby
I don't need you no more
saying bye bye baby

I lost all the love I had for you
the day that you cheated on me boo
and there can never be no me and you
cause lately you been asking foney
I'm sorry you can't do me like those
other busters from around the way
so if you wanna play then lets play
believe me girl two can play that game

Body Talk

Like this....Ive never seen a woman baby
That looks quite the way you do
The way you shake that thing now honey,
Cant take my eyes off you
The way you work it honey
It brings me to my knees
You give me what Im looking for,
Ill give you what you need
And I said
Chorus:
I got the one thing you want,
Get it all night long
You got the one thing I need,
When your body talks
I hear it talking to me
Say, get it all night long
Woman why cant you see
Youre my one thing
I got a world of trouble, baby
Its going on inside my head
Playing your game, got me half insane
Trying to make sense of every word you said
Stop beating around the bush
Youre just wasting time
Lets get down to the business honey
And lay it one the line
And I said
Chorus
Tell me the news,
Lets hear your story
You think you got nothing to lose
You better use it up
Before it gets old, baby
And becomes yesterdays news
Chorus out

Phillip

Oh, little baby Phillip.
Such a sad thing to know
that we won’t witness
your first signs of life
and your little baby coo.

Your first little steps
will never be looked upon
by anyone but God,
and nonetheless no caught sight
of your little baby feet
with your little baby toes.

Such a horrid thing to feel
a strong connection to you and your mother’s womb.
And, oh, how you’ll never grow
more than the size of an apple
but you’ll be the apple we cherish,
the fruit of our hope.

And, baby, such sadness to know
we’ll never look upon your face to see
those Blue Stairs’ eyes gazing back,
just like Granny’s.

Your round face crinkling into a smile
will never be photographed and praised upon.
Oh, such sadness to know
that we’ll never watch you play
we’ll never hear you speak
not even a laugh or cry.
We’ll never hear your heart beat
neither fast, nor slow.

Oh baby Phil,
we’ll never see you succeed
or see your fight in life.

We’ll never see a graduation
nonetheless no wedding in your name,
Phillip Jay.

Oh baby Phillip, you made me cry purple.

But if life’s so short –
the body of an angel cutting your life –
at least you lived in the temple of hope,
the epitome of Light.

Please Me

Five million guys have tried to reduce her,
To another girl out in the street.
All those pretty eyes, have lied to seduce her,
But they come crawlin back at her feet.
Too many times, Ive seen them abuse her,
Just like the times Ive been deceived.
The touch of her starlight makes me happy,
I can see her shinin through in my dreams.
And I wake up cryin ...
Chorus
Please me ...
Please me, baby.
Please me ...
Please me out of my he...eaeaea...ad.
Please me, baby.
Everybodys been a toy for someone,
So take me if you want to play.
Tease me even if its only for fun,
And let me play the game on another day.
Chorus
Please me, baby.
Please me, baby.
Please me, baby.
Please me baby, please me baby ... yeah,
Please me, baby.

Broadway Song

Like to thank all you people for showing up tonight
Sorry about the weather
Let's have a big hand for my long time accompianist
Manfred Gooseberry
Hey Goose
Take a bow, relax
Be comfortable
Have a cocktail on the Poo Poo Lounge
And let us entertain you
I'd like to sing you a Broadway song
I hope that you'll all sing along
A little dancing and some sentiment to put your mind at ease
I'd like to play you something low and sexy
look at our dancers they're so young and pretty, hi Olga
And when we start to groove you can hear the saxophones blow
Ah, show business is just a wonderful thing
All I want is to get down on my knees and sing for you
And let the saxophones blow
blow baby blow
I'd like to sing you a Broadway song
I hope that you'll all sing along
A little dancing and some sentiment to put your mind at ease
I wanna bring a tear to your eye, oh
good old Poe don't he make you cry
Ain't it great the way he writes about the mysteries of life
Ah, show business is just a wonderful thing
All I want is to get down on my knees and sing for you
And let the saxophones blow
Blow baby blow
Ah, show business is just a wonderful thing
All I want is to get down on my knees and sing for you
And let the saxophones blow
blow baby blow baby blow baby blow

Baby Baby, All The Time

(bobby troup)
Once I had a gal,
As sweet as she could be.
Once I had a gal,
And she was right for me.
Kinda sandy hair,
Eyes so soft and blue
That you couldnt help but care
When she looked at you.
She called me baby...
Baby, all the time.
She said, baby, cant you see?
Baby, understand
Baby, youre for me,
Wont you take my hand?
But I pushed her away,
Wouldnt let her near
Pushed her far away
Now Im wishing I could hear her
Call me baby...
Baby, all the time.
~interlude~
Its so lonely through the day,
Lonely through the night,
Lonely, lonely hours
Without that gal I held so tight.
Lord, I pray that you
Will listen to my plea.
Keep her close to you
So shell come back to me,
And call me baby...
Baby, all the time.
Baby...
Baby, all the time.

Love Is Strange

Love is strange
Lots of people take it for a game
Once you get it you never want to quit
After youve had it
You say love, love is strange
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses are a miss
Hey, you sexy thing
How do call your love girl?
I say love girl
And if she doesnt answer
I say youd better come here love girl
And if she still doesnt answer
Well then it is
Baby love is strange, baby, baby ...
You are the one
Tell me something
How do you call your love boy?
I say come here love boy
Oh, but if he doesnt answer
I say, ah come here love boy
But what if he still doesnt answer
I simply say, baby, oh my baby
Come here like that
Youre the one
What do you call your love girl, my sweet baby
How do you call your lover boy
You know all sorts of ways
Baby, my sweet baby
Oh my baby, you are the one

Out Of Time

(jagger/richards)
You dont know whats going on
Youve been away for far too long
You cant come back and think you are still mine
Youre out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
cause baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you cant come back and be the first in line, oh no
Youre obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby youre out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt
cause baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
