LAST TANGO
This time it’s sure, this time it’s real,
This time I know just how I feel.
Two hearts as one, beating like mad —
Good when it’s good,
Good when it’s bad.
How will it end? No one can tell.
Lost in his arms, caught in a spell.
Heaven’s a man… also is hell.
(refrain I)
But say, where do they go,
The men who leave your flat
To buy some cigarettes
And never do come back?
To some old rented room,
Some café in the sun —
They must go to somewhere,
They must go to someone.
Where do they go,
The men who leave your flat
To buy some cigarettes
And never do come back?
Where do they go, those guys
Who’re always leaving town,
Who always lift you up
And always let you down?
I always knew love could be this —
Shocks when we touch, thrills when we kiss.
Locked in last tango… how could we miss?
(refrain II)
But say, where do they go,
The men who leave your flat
To buy some cigarettes
And never do come back?
To some old rented room,
Some café in the sun —
They must go to somewhere,
They must go to someone.
(pont chorégraphique et refrain III)
Where do they go, the men
Who go for cigarettes
And never do come back?
To some old rented room,
Some café in the sun —
They must go to somewhere,
They must go to someone.
Where do they go,
The men who leave your flat
To buy some cigarettes
And never do come back?
Where do they go, those guys
Who’re always leaving town,
Who always lift you up
And always let you down?
MEDLEY ROCK
Rip it Up
Well, it’s Saturday night and I just got paid.
A fool about my money, don’t try to save.
My heart says, “Go, go, have a time.”
Well, it’s Saturday night, babe, and I’m feeling fine.
Gonna rock it up,
Gonna rip it up,
Gonna shake it up,
Gonna fall in love.
Gonna rip it up,
Have a ball tonight.
Well, I got me a date and I won’t be late.
I picked her up in my ’88.
Shag on down by the social hall —
When the joint starts jumping, I’ll have a ball.
Gonna rock it up,
Gonna shake it up,
I’m gonna rip it up,
Gonna fall in love.
I’m gonna rip it up,
Have a ball tonight.
Along about ten, I’ll be flying high.
I walk on out in the open sky.
But I don’t care if I spend my dough,
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna be one happy soul.
Gonna rock it up,
Gonna rip it up,
I’m gonna shake it up,
Gonna fall in love.
Gonna rip it up,
Have a ball tonight.
Well, it’s Saturday night and I just got paid.
A fool about my money, don’t try to save.
My heart says, “Go, go, have a time.”
Well, it’s Saturday night, babe, and I’m feeling fine.
Gonna rock it up,
Gonna rip it up,
I’m gonna shake it up,
Gonna fall in love.
I wanna rip it up,
Have a ball tonight.
TROUBLE
If you’re lookin’ for trouble,
You came to the right place.
If you’re lookin’ for trouble,
Just look right in my face.
I was born standing up
And talking back.
My daddy was a green-eyed
Mountain Jack.
’Cause I’m evil,
My middle name is Misery.
Well, I’m evil,
So don’t you mess around with me.
I never looked for trouble,
But I never ran.
I don’t take no orders
From no kind of man.
I’m only made out of flesh, blood, and bone —
But if you’re gonna start a rumble,
Don’t you try it all alone.
’Cause I’m evil,
My middle name is Misery.
Well, I’m evil,
So don’t you mess around with me.
SUMMERTIME BLUES
(Well, I’m a gonna raise a fuss, I’m gonna raise a holler
About workin’ all summer just to try an’ earn a dollar
Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date
My boss says, no dice, son, you gotta work late
Sometimes I wonder what I’m gonna do
‘Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
Well, my mom an papa told me, son, you gotta make some money
If you want to use the car to go ridin’ next sunday
Well I didn’t go to work, told the boss I was sick
Now you can’t use the car ’cause you didn’t work a lick
Sometimes I wonder what I’m gonna do
‘Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
Ow
I’m gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation
I’m gonna take my problem to the United Nation
Well I called my congressman and he said quote
« I’d like to help you son, but you’re too young to vote »
Sometimes I wonder what I’m gonna do
‘Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
Well, I’m a gonna raise a fuss, I’m gonna raise a holler
About workin’ all summer just to try an’ earn a dollar
Sometimes I wonder what I’m gonna do
‘Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
Yeah, sometimes I wonder what I’m gonna do
‘Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
No, there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues

NO MORE TEARS (ENOUGH IS ENOUGH)
It’s raining, it’s pouring
My lovelife is boring me to tears, after all these years
No sunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance
We don’t stand a chance
I always dreamed I’d find the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man
I’ve loved,
I’ve loved
Raining (raining)
Pouring (pouring)
There’s nothing left for us here
And we won’t waste another tear
If you’ve had enough, don’t put up with his stuff, don’t you do it
If you’ve had your fill, get the check pay the bill, you can do it
Tell him to just get out,
Nothing left to talk about
Pack his raincoat show him out
Just look him in the eye and simply shout:
Enough is enough
I can’t go on, I can’t go on no more no
Enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That’s enough
If you’ve reached the end, don’t pretend that is right when it’s over
(it’s over)
If the feeling is gone don’t think twice just move on, get it over
Choeurs
(over, over)
Tell him to just get out, say it clearly, spell it out:
Enough is enough is enough
I can’t go on, I can’t go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That’s enough
I always dreamed I’d found the perfect lover,
But he turned out to be like every other man
I’ve loved (I had no choice from the start)
I’ve loved (I’ve gotta listen to my heart)
I’ve loved (Tearing us apart)
Enough is enough is enough
I can’t go on, I can’t go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That’s enough
No more tears (No more tears)
No more tears (No more tears)
No more tears (No more tears)
No more tears (No more tears)
Enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough
I’ve had it, you’ve had it, she’s had it, we’ve had it
I always dreamed I’d found the perfect lover,
But he turned out to be like every other man
I had no choice from the start
I’ve gotta listen to my heart
Tearing us apart
Enough is enough is enough
I can’t go on, I can’t go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Goodbye mister, goodbye, goodbye mister
Goodbye sugar
It’s raining, it’s pouring,
There’s nothing left for us here
And we won’t waste another tear
No more tears
Is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough
Is enough!
MORNING TRAIN
I wake up every mornin’, I stumble out of bed
Stretchin’ and yawnin’, another day ahead
It seems to last forever, and time goes slowly by
Till babe and me’s together, then it starts to fly
‘Cause the moment that he’s with me, time can take a flight
The moment that he’s with me, everything’s alright
Night time is the right time, we make love
Then it’s his and my time, we take off
Chorus:
My baby takes the morning train, he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again to find me waitin’ for him
He takes me to a movie, or to a restaurant, to go
Slow dancing, anything I want
Only when he’s with me, I catch light
Only when he gives me, makes me feel alright
All day I think of him, dreamin’ of him constantly
I’m crazy mad for him, and he’s crazy mad for me
When he steps off that train, I’m makin’ a fool, a fight
Work all day to earn his pay, so we can play all night
He’s always on that morning train
He works so hard
To find me waiting for him…
QUEEN OF HEARTS
Midnight, and I’m a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it’ll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight, you’re just a heartache in disguise
Won’t you keep my heart from breaking, if it’s only for a very short time?
Playing with the queen of hearts, knowing it ain’t really smart
The joker ain’t the only fool who’ll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking ’bout a life of crime
‘Cause that’s what I’ll have to do to keep me away from you
Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done?
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they’re handing out the heartaches, you know you got to have you some
Refrain
Lovers, I know you’ve had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers and tell ’em they’re the only one
And others, they know just what I’m goin’ through
And it’s a-hard to be a lover when you say you’re only in it for fun
Refrain
BI-COSTAL
You used to live in New York City
Then you moved to L.A.
But you still miss the streets
Where you used to play
So you hurry on back there
(Even) leave your pool and your car
Only to find you no longer belong
Fool, don’t you know what you are
Hit the streets at midnight
Still dancing after dawn
But something seems to be missing
Just what are you running from
Do you like your love in the dark
Or laid out in the sun
When you just can’t make up your mind
Don’t you know what you’ve become
Bi-coastal, miss the natural speed of the city
Bi-coastal, California’s fine if you’re pretty
Bi-coastal, when both are so much fun
Why do you have to pick one
You can always hear me singing
Oh say can you see
From the towers of Manhattan
To the hills of Beverly
All those girls in TV movies
All those boys on Broadway
When you can’t make up your mind
You know you’d go either way
Bi-coastal, miss the natural speed of the city
Bi-coastal, California’s fine if you’re pretty
Bi-coastal, when both are so much fun
Why do you have to pick one
I FEEL THE MAGIC
All this sound and all these lights
What is all this excitement about
I was walking by
And came in to see
Look at all the people here
There’s a feeling in the air
And all around
What a special night
This is gonna be
I feel the magic
I play my part
Strike up the music
And let the party start
If I sing a song or two
Try to touch a part of you
While you’re here
Can I find a way
To bring it to me
We can spend a little while
Shed a tear and share a smile
What a special night
This is gonna be
I feel the magic
I play my part
Strike up the music
And let the party start

GLORIA
Gloria, you’re always on the run now
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow
I think you’ve got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you’re headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it
You really don’t remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don’t you think you’re fallin’?
If everybody wants you, why isn’t anybody callin’?
You don’t have to answer
Leave them hangin’ on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you’ve been living under (Gloria)
But you really don’t remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how’s it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don’t believe it’s comin’ back soon
And you really don’t remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don’t you think you’re fallin’?
If everybody wants you, why isn’t anybody callin’?
You don’t have to answer
Leave them hangin’ on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you’ve been living under (Gloria)
But you really don’t remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)
BETTE DAVIS EYES
Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold, she’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll turn her music on you, you won’t have to think twice
She’s pure as New York snow, she got Bette Davis eyes
And she’ll tease you, she’ll unease you
All the better just to please you
She’s precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo’s stand-off sighs, she’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll let you take her home, it whets her appetite
She’ll lay you on her throne, she’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll take a tumble on you, roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue, she’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you breathe with the crumbs she throws you
She’s ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she’s a spy, she’s got Bette Davis eyes
And she’ll tease you, she’ll unease you
All the better just to please you
She’s precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she’s a spy, she’s got Bette Davis eyes…
UCLA
1982
It’s where it all comes down in Southern California
UCLA
You can find some action anytime you wanna
UCLA
See the student body soaking up the sunshine
UCLA
There’s a thousand ways for you to have a good time
UCLA
You can keep the feeling and you won’t get old
As long as you keep wearing that blue and gold
You see
The only place for me is
L.A.
Cool nights and sunny days
You see
The only place to be is
L.A.
I never wanna graduate
Every Friday night we go cruising down in Westwood
UCLA
When you drag the town I find it really makes you feel good
It’s a show, don’t you know, when you’re checking out the streetlife
UCLA
And it’s great at eight, but wait til after midnight
They’re playing rock’n’roll
In a smokey bar
Meet a big-time hero
A movie star
You see
The only place for me is
L.A.
I never ever wanna graduate
UCLA, UCLA, UCLA, UCLA…
You see
The only place for me is
L.A.
Cool nights and sunny days
You see
The only place to be is
L.A.
I never want to graduate
SWEET TALK
1982
If you want to see a heart of steel
Melt down before your eyes
My man has got that special appeal
When he tells me all of his sweet lies
Though my mind knows better
My heart’s got me acting like a fool
When I hear his
Sweet talk
Sweet talk
Coming at me, changing my mind
All of the time
With all his
Sweet talk
Sweet talk
Coming at me, taking my heart
And tearing it apart
With all his
Sweet talk
Sweet talk, yeah yeah
He’s got a certain little way
With words
And he makes nothing out of something
With every word he says
I don’t know
Should I take it all
Should I be running
We both like to play with fire
But somehow I’m the one who gets burnt
When I hear his
Sweet talk
Sweet talk
Coming at me, cheating my mind
All of the time
With his
Sweet talk
Sweet talk
Coming at me, taking my heart
And tearing it apart
With all his
Sweet talk
Sweet talk
All those sweet nothings
Mean good loving
So the bad words I don’t want to hear
Just give me the
Sweet talk
We’ve all got to play with fire
And somehow I am the one who gets burnt
When I hear his
Sweet talk
Sweet talk
Coming at me, changing my mind
All of the time
With all of his
Sweet talk
Sweet talk
Coming at me, taking my heart
And tearing it apart
With all his
Sweet talk
MEDLEY SMILE
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
for you
The sun’ll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar, that tomorrow there’ll be sun
Just thinking about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow ’til there’s none
When I’m stuck with a day that’s gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin, and grin, and say, oh
SMILE
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just smile
You think I don’t know ?
I know.
I see her all the time.
on your handkerchief with her lipstick on it.
another one you forgot in your jacket.
a ticket for a movie we never went to.
you know love is not easy.
it scares you.
so you wake from love.
my love.
but you know, my darling,
mon amour,
there’s something else I know.
you can walk away from love.
love won’t let you.
I… I won’t let you.
IF YOU GO AWAY
(Adaptation anglaise de Ne me quitte pas – J. Brel / R. McKuen)
cause if you go away on this summer day
then you might as well take the sun away
all the birds that flew in the summer sky
when our love was new and our hearts were high
when the day was young and the night was long
and the moon stood still for the night bird’s song
if you go away
if you go away
if you go away
but if you stay, I’ll make you a day
like no day has been or will be again
I’ll sail on your smile, we’ll ride on your touch
I’ll talk to your eyes that I love so much
but if you go, go
if you go away
if you go away
Ne me quitte pas
NON C’EST RIEN / FREE AGAIN
Non c’est rien
Ou si peu, croyez-le bien.
Ça ira mieux dès demain,
Avec le temps qui passe,
Dans la vie tout s’efface.
Non c’est rien,
Je n’ai pas tant de chagrin.
Cet amour n’était plus rien,
Plus rien qu’une habitude,
J’en ai la certitude.
Laissez-moi,
Cette nuit partez mais sans moi.
Allez boire à mes amours,
À tous mes futurs amours,
Mes prochains je t’aime,
Je t’aime.
Free Again
Independent me, free again,
Time to call up all the crowd,
Raise the roof and shout out loud,
Time to have a party, a party.
CAN’T SMILE WITHOUT YOU
Now some people say happiness takes
So very long to find.
Well, I’m finding it hard
Leaving your love behind.
I feel sad when you’re sad,
I feel glad when you’re glad.
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing,
I’m finding it hard to do anything.
I can’t smile without you,
I can’t smile without you.
If you only knew
What I’m going through,
I just can’t smile without you.
RAINING MEN
Hi! (Hi!) We’re your weather girls
(Uh-huh)
And have we got news for you!
(You better listen)
Get ready all you lonely girls
And leave those umbrellas at home
(Alright)
Humidity is rising (Mm rising), barometer’s getting low (How low, girl?)
According to all sources (What sources now?)
The street’s the place to go (You better hurry up)
‘Cause tonight for the first time (First time)
Just about half-past ten (Half-past ten)
For the first time in history
It’s gonna start raining men (Start raining men)
It’s raining men! Hallelujah!
It’s raining men! Amen!
I’m gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It’s raining men! Hallelujah!
It’s raining men! Every specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
God bless Mother Nature, she’s a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She bought every angel
And rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It’s raining men! Hallelujah!
It’s raining men! Amen!
It’s raining men! Hallelujah!
It’s raining men! Amen!
I feel stormy weather moving in
About to begin (About to begin)
Hear the thunder, don’t you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed (Rip off the roof and stay in bed)
God bless Mother Nature, she’s a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She bought every angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
Oh, it’s raining men! Yeah
LOVE AGAIN
(paroles : Peter Allen / Carole Bayer Sager)
I didn’t think it could happen again,
I’m just too old and set in my ways.
I was convinced I would always be lonely
All of the rest of my days.
Maybe I gave up on romance
In my longing to give up the pain.
I just didn’t believe
I would ever love again.
I was like one who had shut myself in,
Closed the windows, locked all the doors,
Afraid of the dark and the beat of my heart,
And yet, knowing there had to be more.
Though it sounds like a great contradiction,
It’s the easiest thing to explain.
You see, I was afraid
I might never love again.
What does it take for a blind man to see
That there’s more there than just meets the eye ?
What are the ways that the magic comes in
That can turn a song into a sigh ?
Sometimes I think that I’m dreaming,
Or maybe I’m going insane,
Or maybe it’s just that
I’m falling in love again.
Here I am standing beside you —
Ah, life’s such a wonderful game.
Look at me now, I’ve fallen in love again.
Look at me now, I’ve fallen in love again.
SILVER LINING
Comes as no surprise,
I knew it from the very first time.
I knew we would burst far to worse,
Roman candle in the sky.
This is not goodbye,
It’s just a curve along the road.
Let the plan unfold,
The truth be told —
You completely changed my life.
In every over there’s beginning,
In every always there is changing.
You might not see the silver lining,
But it’s shining all the time.
In every over there’s beginning,
In every always there is changing.
All of your tears will lead to laughter,
And it’s after that you find.
Thank you for the love —
I wanna give it back to you now.
We have more to do, and we knew,
As the friends that we’ve become.
Nothing’s taken from,
Nobody’s right, nobody’s wrong.
You listen to the song,
You sing along
‘Til the next one has begun.
In every over there’s beginning,
In every always there is changing.
You might not see the silver lining,
But it’s shining all the time.
In every over there’s beginning,
In every always there is changing.
All of your tears will lead to laughter,
And it’s after that you find.
Wait ’til you see it shine,
Can’t wait to see you find
Your silver lining.
You’ll see it shining.
You’ll see.
In every over there’s beginning,
In every always there is changing.
Now that you see the silver lining,
You see it shining all the time.
In every over there’s beginning,
In every always there is changing.
All of your tears will lead to laughter,
And it’s after that you find.
IMAGINE
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin’ for today
Ah
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace
You
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
DANCING IN THE STREET
Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer’s here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets, they’re dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City
All we need is
Music, sweet music
There’ll be music everywhere
There’ll be laughing and singing, music swings
And dancing in the streets
It doesn’t matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
C’mon, every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
It’s an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There’ll be swinging and swaying, music player
And dancing in the streets
Philadelphia, P.A
Baltimore and D.C. now
N’oubliez pas Paris !
All we need is
Music, sweet music
There’ll be music everywhere
There’ll be laughing and singing, music swings
And dancing in the street
It doesn’t matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets

EARTH AND AIR
I’m tryin’ to touch all what you are,
You’re just within reach and then you’re far away.
Tell me where night becomes the day —
What is the candle to the burning flame ?
Is there a bridge that can cross our differences,
If the river that divides us is the same ?
Don’t we stand a chance ?
Don’t we have a prayer ?
You are the Earth,
And I am Air.
Don’t we meet somewhere ?
Give us a chance,
Pray a silent prayer
For the love that Air and Earth might share.
I am the wind, the clouds and the rain.
You are the dream that somehow changes me.
You breathe me in and hold me here —
No line is drawn except by fear, my love.
We’ve been in search of an explanation
To a question that remains so unclear.
Don’t we stand a chance ?
Don’t we have a prayer ?
You are the Earth,
And I am Air.
Don’t we meet somewhere ?
Give us a chance,
Pray a silent prayer
For the love that Air and Earth could share.

DIRTY DANCING
Can’t sleep, can’t eat —
That music got me in a trance.
My blood is racing,
All I wanna do is dance.
I wanna, wanna, wanna
Feel it in my soul,
Pumping through my veins.
I’m spinning like a wheel,
Just like a hurricane.
Your body’s melting into mine,
Let’s leave the world behind.
We’re dirty dancin’ —
Everybody get down.
We’re dancing dirty —
Hear that rhythm pound.
Come on and let that music lift us high,
Right up to paradise.
We’re dirty dancin’, yeah yeah.
No cure for sure —
It’s got me climbing up the wall.
Can’t speak, I’m weak,
I got the beat, I hear the call.
I wanna, wanna, wanna
Feel that fever burning
Right down through the floor.
Our bodies twisting, turning
Like revolving doors.
Oh let the lightning strike,
Let’s thunder through the night.
We’re dirty dancin’ —
Everybody get down.
We’re dancing dirty —
Hear that rhythm pound.
Don’cha know we’re rockin’ all the way
Until the break of day.
We’re dirty dancin’,
Gonna keep it hot.
We’re dancing dirty —
Give it all you got.
Come on and let that music lift us high,
Right up to paradise.
We’re dirty dancin’, yeah yeah yeah.
Come on, come on —
Can’t wait, too late.
Oh babe, you got me in the groove.
Gonna blow like dynamite,
Come on and detonate my fuse.
I wanna, wanna, wanna
Rock until I drop.
You really turn me on,
I’m rolling like a top.
One more spin and I’ll be gone.
There’s no doubt about it —
I just can’t do without it.
We’re dirty dancin’ —
Everybody get down.
We’re dancing dirty —
Hear that rhythm pound.
Don’cha know we’re rockin’ all the way
Until the break of day.
We’re dirty dancin’,
Gonna keep it hot.
We’re dancing dirty —
Give it all you got.
Come on and let that music lift us high,
Right up to paradise.
We’re dirty dancin’, yeah yeah yeah.
Dirty dancin’…
Dirty dance.
SON OF A PREACHER MAN
Billy Ray was the preacher’s son
And when his daddy would visit he’d come along
When they gathered ’round and started talkin’
That’s when Billy would take me walkin’
Out through the back yard we’d go walkin’
Then he’d look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes, he was
Being good isn’t always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin’ to me
He’d come and tell me « Everything is alright »
He’d kiss and tell me « Everything is alright »
Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, ooh, Lord knows, he was (yes, he was)
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin’ kisses from me on the sly
Takin’ time to make time
Tellin’ me that he’s all mine
Learnin’ from each other’s knowin’
Lookin’ to see how much we’ve grown and
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, oh, yes, he was
He was the sweet-talkin’ son of a preacher man
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
I kissed me the son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever move me)
The sweet-lovin’ son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever groove me)
(Was the son of a preacher man)
(The only one who could ever reach me)
(Was the son of a)
