Don't Rain On My Parade
03:27
|
|||
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 to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see,
I gotta have my bite, sir.
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade,
I'm gonna live and live now!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, look at me, world, here I am ...
I'll march my band out, I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned 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 gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!

Come Rain Or Come Shine
02:51
|

I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
You're in or you're are out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

People

People
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

Second Hand Rose
03:55
|
|||
Father has a business strictly second hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand
Stuff in our apartment came from father's store
Even things I'm wearing someone wore before
It's no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that ain't been used
I'm wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
That's why they call me
Second hand Rose
Even our piano in the parlour
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second hand pearls
I'm wearing second hand curls
I never get a single thing that's new
Even Ave, the tailor, he's the man I adore
He had the nerve to tell me he's been married before
Everyone knows that I'm just
Second hand Rose
From Second Avenue
Second hand pearls
I'm wearing second hand curls
I never get a single thing that's new
And as for Ave the tailor we'll be married in spring
Told him yes if he'll purchase me a vintage ring
Everyone knows that I'm just
Second hand Rose
From Second Avenue
From Second Avenue
Second Avenue
Second Avenue
Avenue
Avenue
Ave-
Nu?

God
Oh God
May the light
Illuminate the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul
Avinu malkeinu sh'ma kolenu
Avinu malkeinu chatanu l'faneycha
Avinu malkeinu chamol aleynu
V'al olaleynu v’tapenu
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you find me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker.
The wind is so much colder
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright
Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand me
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying
Anything I'm saying
Even though the night is filled
With voices?
I remember ev'rything you taught me
Every book I've ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
Avinu malkeinu chamol aleynu
v'al olaleinu v'tapeinu
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I'm alone
Papa, how I love you.
Papa, how I need you.
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me goodnight

The Way We Were
03:42
|
|||
Mmmmm…
Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor 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 to choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

Everybody Says Don't
Everybody Says Don't
Everybody Says Don't It Isn't Right
Don't Is Isn't Nice
Everybody Says Don't
Everybody Says Don't
Everybody Says Don't Walk On The Grass
Don't Disturb The Peace
Don't Skate On The Ice
Well I Say Do I Say
Walk On The Grass It Was Meant To Feel I Say Sail Till To The Windmill
And If You Fail You Fail
Everybody Says Don't
Everybody Says Don't
Everybody Says Don't Get Out Of Line
When They Say That Then Lady That's A Sign
No Times Out Of Ten
Lady You're Doing Just Fine
Make Just A Ripple Come On Be Brave
This Time A Ripple Next Time A Wave
Sometimes You Have To Start Small
Climbing The Tiniest Wall
Maybe You're Going To Fall
But It Is Better Than Not Starting At All
If you've had enough, don't put up with their stuff, don't you do it
If you've had your fill, get the check pay the bill, you can do it
Tell them to just get out
Nothing left to talk about
Pack their raincoat show them out
Just look them in the eyes and simply shout
Enough is enough (is enough)
I can't go on, I can't go on no longer
Enough is enough (is enough)
I’m walking out, I’m walking out that door now
Enough is enough (is enough)
I can't go on, I can't go on no longer
Enough is enough (is enough)
I’m walking out, I’m walking out that door now
Enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough!
Everybody Says Don't
Everybody Says Can't
Everybody Says Wait Around For Miracles
That's The Way The World Is Made
I Insist On Miracles
If You Do Them
Miracles Nothing To Them
I Say Don't
Don't Be Afraid!

Miss Marmelstein
02:49
|

Oh, why is it always Miss Marmelstein?
Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Other girls get called by their first names right away
They get cozy intimate ... do you know what I mean?
Nobody calls me, "Hey, baby doll!" (Miss Marmelstein)
Or "honey dear" (Miss Marmelstein) or "sweetie pie" (Miss Marmelstein)
Even my first name would be preferable
Though it's terrible, it might be better, it's yetta
Or perhaps my second name that's Tessye
Spell T-e-s-s-y-e!
But no, no, it's always Miss Marmelstein
You'd think at least Miss M. they could try...
Miss Marmelstein! Miss Marmelstein!
Miss Marmelstein! Miss Marmelstein! Miss Marmelstein!
Oh, I could die!
I'm a very willing secretary
Enjoy my work as my employer will corroborate
Except for one disappointment one fly in the ointment
It's great! I mean simply great
But the aggravation of my situation
I might as well get it off my chest
It's the drum appellation
Oh, pardon the big words I apply
But I was an English major at C.C.N.Y.
The drum appellation!
With which I am persistently addressed
Persistently, perpetually, continually and inevitably addressed
Why is it always Miss Marmelstein?
Miss marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Other girls get called by their nicknames right away
Slightly naughty or riske
Do you know what I mean?
Nobody calls me "koo-chee-koo"
Or "boobala" or "passion pie"
Even "hey there babe" thought not respectable
Ain't so objectable
It's kind of crummy but chummy
Of course if I got married, that would do it
So, where's the lucky guy? ha...
'Til then it still is Miss Marmelstein (Miss Marmelstein)
Every day, I get tied up in knots
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Oh-oh-oh
I could plotz.

Not While I'm Around
03:44
|

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere nowadays
I'll send them howling
I don't care, I got ways
No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around…
No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

I Don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted scenes, the sound here
Yes a world to rediscover
But I'm not in any hurry
And I need a moment
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why everything's as if we never said goodbye
I'm coming out of make-up
The lights already burning
Not long until the cameras will start turning
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye
I don't want to be alone that's all in the past
This world has waited long enough
I've come home at last!
And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it
We'll have early morning madness
We'll have magic in the making
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye

Who Are You Now?
03:41
|
|||
Who Are You Now?
Who Are You Now?
Are you something more
Than you were before?
Are you warmer in the rain?
Are you stronger for my touch?
Am I giving too little
By my loving you too much?
How is the view
Sunny and green?
How do you compare it to
The views you've seen?
I know I am better, braver and surer too
But you, are you now?
Who are you now?
Are you someone better for my love?
