3.A New Town Is A Blue Town
Sid
A new town is a blue town
A 'who do you know' and 'show me what you can do' town
There's no red carpet at your feet.
If you're not tough they'll try to beat you down
In a new blue town
It's not like the old town
You don't take long to find that you're in a cold town
But you know you can lick it
Didn't buy a round trip ticket
To this
Cold cold new blue town.
Well nobody asked me to come here
And nobody asked me to stay
Made up my own mind
And I know I'll find my own way.
Since that first day when I said 'Hi' town
They've damned well tried to make me say 'goodbye town'
But I won't leave until I make it my town they'll see
This one horse two bit hick of a new town
Ain't gonna lick me

4.I'm Not At All In Love
Babe：'Love, are you nuts？'
Girls：'Some people can't tell when it hits 'em!'
Babe：
All you gotta do is say hello to a man
And they've got you whispering in his ear
All you gotta do is be polite with him
And they've got you spending the night with him
If there's a guy you merely have a bicker with
They've got you setting the wedding date
It seems they've just gotta have some dirt
To bend your ear with
So before you start
I hear with...state
I'm not, at all in love, not at all in love, not I!
Not a bit
Not a might
Though I'll admit he's quite a hunk a guy
But he's not, my cup of tea, not my cup of tea, not he!
Not an ounce
Not a pinch
He's just an inch, too sure of himself for me
Girl： Well of course you've noticed his manly physique and that
look in his eye
Girl： Well I'm sure he can cut almost any man out of size!
Girl： He must he as fierce as a tiger when he's mad
Girl： And I'll bet he cries like a little boy when he's sad
Babe： But I'm not at all in love, not at all in love not I!
Not a straw
Not a hair
I don't care if he's as strong as a lion
Or if he has the rest of you sighing
You may be sold but this girl aint buying!!
I'm not at all in love!
Girls： She's not at all in love, not at all in love, oh no
Babe： Not a pin, not a crumb
Girls： Must be the summer heat that gives her that glow
Cuz she's not at all in love, not at all in love, she cries!
Babe： Not a snip, not a bite
Girls： Must be the light from the ceiling shining there in her
eyes
He's young and handsome, and smart, and we can't get over it
Babe： but this ladies heart he doesn't effect a bit
Girls： It's easy to see that her daffy grin is a grin she always
wears
And she's breathless because she ran up a flight of stairs!
Girls： 'obviously'
'naturally'
'Certainly'
'naturally'
'Certainly'
Ha!
She's not at all in love, not at all in love, not she
Babe： No I'm not!
Girls： Not a dot
Babe： Not a touch
Girls： No not much
Babe： When I fall in love, there will be no doubt about it
Cuz you will know by the way that I shout it
Girls(softly)： Your shouting
Babe(softly)： I haven't fallen
Girls： she hasn't fallen
Babe： I'm not at all in love!
Girls( pick up when she says at)： She's not at all in love!

key

key

squeeze
Hines： There she is, she's giving a sailor a very affectionate
squeeze
Mabel： Then, to boot, she tells you she was in the arms of a
cousin who was back from over seas
Hines： A COUSIN BACK FROM OVER SEAS？ DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE
THAT？!I WAS NOT BORN YESTERDAY!...

Mabel： I'm so proud of you!
6.Hey There
Sid：
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you
You used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high flying cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
You think some day she'll come to you
Better forget her
Her with her nose in the air
She has dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
Won't take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear
And out the other
Better forget her
Her with her nose in the air
She has you dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
Won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear and out the other

13.There Once Was A Man
There once was a man who loved a woman
She was the one he slew a dragon for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he-ee
But me-ee
I love you more.
(BABE： Tell me!)
And there once was a man who loved a woman
She was the one he gave his kingdom for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he-ee
But me-ee
I love you more
My love is a giant, fierce and defiant
But how can I prove it to you？
Ain't got no kingdom or dragon
To back up my braggin'
How can I show what I would do？
I only know there once was a man
Who loved a woman
She was the one he ate the apple for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as he-ee
But me-ee, I love you more
BABE：There once was a woman who loved a man
He was the one that she took poison for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she-ee
But me-ee, I love you more
And there once was a woman who loved a man,
He was the one she swam the channel for
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she-ee
But me-ee, I love you more.
My love's meteoric, it's merely historic
A whirlwind, a cyclone on wheels
It rocks my whole solar plexus,
It's bigger than Texas
I just can't tell you how it feels
I only know there once was a woman
Who loved a man
Loved him enough to cause the Trojan War
They say that nobody ever loved as much as she-ee
But me-ee,
I love you more! more! more! more!
More than a hangman loves his rope
More than a dopefiend loves his dope
More than an Injun loves his scalps
More than a yodeler loves his alps
More More More more more!

The world around us
Is tryin' to tear us apart
But let's let 'em know
They're tryin' in vain
Alone we may each wind up the loser
Together, we've so much to gain
The love that found us
May not be a story book romance
We've had our ups and downs
But let's not complain
Just come to my arms
and know we've nothing to fear
And let the world around us disappear.
The love that found us

Hinesy：
I'm a time study man, and a time study man can't waste time.
For a time study man to waste time,is a crime.
So i'm ruled by the tick tick tock.
And i live my life by the clock.
I live my life by the tick tick tock of the clock.
Ihen i go to sleep, I don't undress.
That's right, I sleep in all my clothes.
I must confess.
Sure it's a strange way to behave.
And I will admit that the suit gets mussed and it gathers lint
and it picks up dust,
but think of the time I save.
Girls：
Think of the time he saves.
Hines：
The alarm clock rings, it's 6 AM.
And then right there in bed I shave.
That's what I said. while I am still in bed, I shave.
And the lather drips and the bed gets wet and oh what a lousy
shave I get,
But think of the time I save.
Girls：
Think of the time he saves.
Hines：
At breakfast time, I grab a bowl.
And in the bowl I drop an egg, and add some juice.
A poor excuse for what I crave.
And then I add some oatmeal too and it comes out tasting just
like glue,
But think of the time I save.
Girls：
Think of the time he saves.
Tick tock, tick tock, tempus fugit.
Tick tock, tick tock time goes by.
Hines：
I'll be sitting counting seconds til the day I die.
And when I do, I have a plan.
Before I'm dead, I'll dig my grave.
That's what I said. Before I'm dead I'll dig my grave.
'Cuz when St. Peter calls my name,
I know I'll get there just the same but think of the time I'll
save.
Girls：
Think of the time he'll save.

20.Hernando's Hideaway
I know a dark secluded place.
A place where no one knows your face.
A glass of wine a fast embrace.
It's called Hernando's Hideaway ole!
All you see are silohuettes.
And all you hear are castanetts.
And no one cares how late it gets.
Not at Hernando's Hideaway ole!
At the golden fingerbowl or any place you go.
You'll meet your uncle Max and everyone you know.
But if we go to the spot that I am thinking of
You will be free, to gaze at me, and talk of love.
Just knock three times and whisper low, that you and I were sent
by Joe.
Then Strike a match and you will know your in Hernando's

21.The Three Of Us
22.Seven - And - A - Half Cents
(Prez)
I figured it out
I figured it out
With a pencil and a pad I figured it out!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
I figured it out
(chorus)
He figured it out!
(Prez)
I figured it out
(Chorus)
He figured it out!
(Prez)
With a pencil and a pad I figured it out!
Only five years from today!
Only five years from today!
I can see it all before me!
Only five years from today!
Five years! Let's see..thats 260 weeks, times forty hours every
week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at time
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $852.74!
That's enough for me to get
An automatic washing machine,
A years supply of gasoline,
Carpeting for the living room,
A vacuum instead of a blasted broom,
Not to mention a forty inch television set!
(Chorus)
So! Although!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
(Babe)
I figured it out
(Chorus)
She figured it out!
(Babe)
I figured it out!
(Chorus)
She figured it out!
(Babe)
Only ten years from today,
Only ten years from today,
I can see it, clear as daylight,
Only ten years from today!
Ten years! Let's see..thats 520 weeks, times forty hours every
week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at time
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $1705.48!
That's enough for me to buy
A trip to France across the seas,
A motorboat and water skis,
Maybe even a foregian car,
A charge account at the corner bar,
Not to mention a scrabble board with letters made of gold!
(Chorus)
So! Although!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
(Babe and Prez)
We figured it out!
(Chorus)
They figured it out!
They figured it out!
(Babe and Prez)
We figured it out!
(All)
With a pencil and a pad they figured it out
(Babe)
Only twenty years from today
(Prez)
Only twenty years from today
(Babe)
I can see it like a vision
(All)
Only twenty years from today
(Prez and Babe)
Twenty years! Let's see..thats 1040 weeks, times forty hours
every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at
time and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $3411.96!
Wow!
(Prez)
That's enough for me to be
A sultan in a taj mahal
In every room a different doll!
(Babe)
I'll have myself a buying spree,
I'll buy a pajama factory,
Then I could end up having old man Hasler work for me!
(Chorus)
So! Although!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!

The Pajama Game
Is the game I'm in.

26.Oh , My Dear(Something's Gone Wrong)
Oh, my dear
Something's gone wrong
Oh, my dear
Something's gone wrong
The wheel is now unmanned
Our direction isn't planned
Something's gone terribly wrong
We have here
A bad affair
Which I fear
We must beware
The caution that we've thrown
To the wind is being blown
Something's gone terribly wrong
The end of the road
Going nowhere
Is the start of the road going back
And I don't usually go where
The end of the rainbow is black
We appear
To have confused
Love sincere
And love abused
We played beneath a moon
That seemed to know our tune
A melody of chance
That beckoned us to dance
Now you desire a different song
Something's gone terribly wrong
27.Can't We Tell
Can't we tell
Can't we go to the world
And let them in
Can't we yell
Can't we show to the world
That we're in love
Can't they know
Is it really that bad
To risk it all
Can't we go
To the top of the world
And show our love
I've never been good
At keeping secrets
Why should my luck change now
I'm right on the edge
Of losing control
With no one to show me how
To maintain
My composure
Can't we tell
How much more can I stand
Before I break
Ring the bell
I surrender to love
In which I fell
So, can't we tell
28.Such Love
What used to be a halo
Held above your head
Has now become a noose
Hanging there instead
What used to be a love bird
Glorious at least
Has now become a buzzard
Waiting for the feast
Such love
Such love
Too bad I never had such love
Such love
Such love
I'm glad I never had such love
Once infatuation
Meant a brand new start
Now it's just a crush
Extinguishing your heart
What used to be a fire
You needed to survive
Has now become a fever
Burning you alive
Such love
Such love
There's such a thing as too much love
Such love
Such love
Funny how hate can bring such love
From my precious point of view
It all seemed so unclear
Why someone would want to do
Something wrong to someone dear
I've got quite the advantage now
A fare more lucid view
I can see so easily how
One like me could get to you
What used to be a heated
Passionate embrace
Has now become a claustrophobic
Strangling disgrace
What used to be an arrow
Show with cupid's crest
Has now become a bullet
Ripping through your chest
Such love
Such love
From now on I'll never touch love
Such love
Such love
Better off living without love
What used to be lust
Rumbling in your soul
Has become a lesson
In utter self-control
What used to be a promise
Held with every breath
Has now become a sentence
Condemning you to death
29.I Like Love More
Maybe in another time
A far more distant place
We'd have had less hill to climb
We'd have had a better case
I like love more than this
It's much easier to take
With someone you cannot kiss
Love's impossible to make
This is how it feels
This is how it feels
When you don't know
What you're in for
This is how it feels
Heartache and all
I like love more
Lips you give to me are bland
They were so much sweeter than
With someone you cannot stand
Love is tasteless once again
This is how it feels
This is how it feels
When you don't know
What you're in for
This is how it feels
Heartache and all
I like love more
Here we are
At the bottom of the well
The bottom of a well run dry
Love's a much harder sell
When you're not looking to buy
This is how it feels
This is how it feels
When you don't know
What you're in for
This is how it feels
Heartache and all
I like love more
This is how it feels
Heartache and all
I like love more
30.My Little World
People work their lives
Only to retire
Husbands and wives
Have nothing to aspire to
When they grow old
Nines and fives
Bonds and stocks
No one thrives
On punching clocks
And so it's told
I've panned my gold
My little world is much to me
The flirts, the foreplay
The flaunts
You couldn't give away for free
A world nobody wants
Nothing amazing, new or proud
The life I've chosen to lead
No trace of silver on my cloud
No pedigree, no breed
And even though it's sad
Even though it's beautiful
It can only be mine
It can only be mine
My little world is commonplace
Important people would say
But all the lines upon my face
Are quite a price to pay
Fr a little world that could only be
A world that belongs to only me
Take it fellas!
My little world is commonplace
Important people would say
But all the lines upon my face
Are quite a price to pay
Fr a little world that could only be
A world that belongs to only me
31.All Things
I'm not all things to all
But I'm everything to one
How wonderful to rest assured
With all my searching done
I'm not the very best
At everything I've tried
But placing last is victory
With someone at your side
Someone whose hand
Will wipe your brow
And cradle your heart
Someone whose band
Supports the vow
Till death do you part
I absolutely know
That my days on earth are few
But I am everything to one
And she is everything to me
She is everything to me
She is everything to me
32.I Need To Be In Love
I hear the same old love song
Night after night after night
And though I'm not the one the verse regards
Wouldn't it be fair
To hear my name in there
Well, maybe it's just not in the cards
I need to be in love
I've never been in love
Almost every song they play
Says it's quite a run
(And) surely any kind of love
Is worthier than none
I want to be alone
With someone else's touch
Every tune that opens always
Closes with a dance
And if it opens up to me
I won't forsake my chance
But I thing I don't know
Is how it's supposed to go
No one ever sat down to explain
My own experience
Has left me on the fence
Mister, could you play
That love song once again？
I want to live the words
That I have only heard
Never have I walked before in
Someone else's dream
But I've been lonely long enough
In mine and it may seem like greed
But I need to be in love
33.Oh ! Ain't That Sweet
Oh! ain't that sweet
It's so delightful when two
Rightful lovers meet
Oh! ain't that sweet
When hand in hand they finally
And in paradise
Oh! ain't that cool
When cupid's arrow hits
The marrow of a fool
For better or for worse
For poorer or for rich
They'll never know a curse
And they'll never feel an itch
They're in love and ain't that sweet
Oh! ain't that great
They intertwine
The stars align to tell their fate
Oh! ain't that grand
They'll sail along
They a-got a song to beat the band
Oh! Ain't that good
It's so appealing when you're feeling understood
Love is hard to find
And harder still to keep
But with two hearts combined
They're bound to fall too deep
They're in love
And ain't that sweet
Oh! Aint' that good
It's so appealing when you're feeling understood
Love is hard to find
And harder still to keep
But with two hearts combined
They're bound to fall too deep
They're in love
And ain't that sweet
34.The Other Hours
Who are you in the other hours
When your hair's undone
And your guard's let down
When you're all alone in your all nightgown
Are you the life of the party then？
Sitting by yourself, again
Where are you in the other hours
Are you in a secret place that calls
When you're by yourself with in your walls
Are you undressed with someplace to go
Off to catch your private show
Why do you greet the morning
Draping your heart in a shroud
Why must your life be a sideshow
Played to an ignorant crowd
How are you, in the other hours
Do you pray for morning to arrive
Do you wonder how you can stay alive
Are you at peace in a troubled mind
Hoping no one else would find
You're only playing dumb
'til the other hours come
Who do you think you're fooling
Turning your face from the light
Clearly you're turning to something
that are revealed by the night
What are you in the other hours
Are you queen of some abandoned song
Thinking how your crown of jewels had shone
You're sitting there with no one to reign
You think no one sees your pain
And no one hears your drum
So the other hours come
35.Take Advantage
I've closed the curtains
On many a dawn
And buried my dreams in my bed
Chances most would thrive upon
I've frowned upon instead
It may be just a little too late
For me to return to my youth
But I've stumbled enough
Along the way to stumble upon the truth
See what happens when you stall
Or when you start too late
Oversleep your wake up call
Or pick a fight with fate
You may find you've missed the ball
By waiting at the gate
So as long as life's too short
Take advantage
Spend your days all turned around
And miss what lies ahead
Have your heart so tightly bound
That not a word is said
If your feet stay on the ground
Then all alive is dead
So as long as life's too short
Take advantage
How many chances do you get
Before you're done
Well ask the man, the foolish man
Who had his hands on one
He'll tell you how he passed it by
It didn't matter then
But he'd give the whole entire world
To have that chance again
Sometimes what you're looking for
Is not wrapped up in gold
Miss a certain glance and you're
Without a hand to hold
Some don't find out what's in store
Until they're far too old
So as long as life's too short
So as long as life's too short
Take advantage
36.Take Her To The Mardi Gras
Why you
Goin' to the bayou
She don't wanna be by you
If you gonna waste the day
Give her
The Mississisppi River
The Mississisppi River
And the voodoo in the vieux carre
She'll fret
Walkin' on the banquette
Walkin' on the banquette
Is too refined for her
Her feet
Need to meet Canal Street
And only on Canal Street
Can she dance
She's always been partial
To a great grand marshall
She'll sing a capella
To dance with the man
With that fine umbrella
She's bored
Sittin' in the third ward
Sittin' in the third ward
Is much too slow
Meet her
In a club on St. Peter
And she'll be a little sweeter
Just go ahead and treat her
You'll be so in awe
Take her to the Mardi Gras
Play that thing!
Play like you live!
Take it to the street!
Oh yeah, baby!
Fancy
Dinner plans will make he antsy
Anyone who knows her can see
That's not her thing
She'll eat
Okra, turkey necks and pigs feet
Okra, turkey necks and pigs feet
And a spicy chicken wing
You'll say They say
When you see a lady who'll say You can see them in the treme
Come on laissez bon temps rouler And if she could just see them
play
She's quite a catch It would be the very best day
Step right up That she ever saw
You don't have to put a fight up Take her to the Mardi
All you need to do is light up Take her to the Mardi
You've met your match Take her to the Mardi
Take her to the Mardi Gras
She'll be in her garters
When she walks down Chartres
Nothing could elate her
Greater than a plat eof
Alligator down Decatur
Her brand
Of a good time is a brass band
Which is very middle class and
Not there for show
