Chantilly Lace

Written by JP Richardson
Performed by JP "Big Bopper" Richardson

Hello, baby
Yeah, this is the Big Bopper speakin'
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, you sweet thing
Do I what? Will I what?
Oh, baby, you know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a ponytail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk
Make the world go 'round

Ain't nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long-necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's a-what I like

What's that, baby?
But, but, but, oh, honey
But, oh baby, you know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a ponytail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk, and a giggle in her talk, Lord
Make the world go 'round, 'round, 'round

Ain't nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long-necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's a-what I like

What's that, honey?
Pick you up at eight and don't be late
But baby, I ain't got no money, honey
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, alright, honey, you know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
Ponytail a-hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk, Lord
Make the world go 'round

Ain't nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long-necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's a-what I like

No One Like You

Written by Klaus Meine and Rudolph Schenker
Performed by Scorpions

Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Oh babe, I just need you like never before
I just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

Dude (Looks Like a Lady)

Written by Desmond Child, Joe Perry and Steve Tyler
Performed by Aerosmith

That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady

Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She's a long lost love at first bite
Baby, maybe you're wrong
But you know it's all right, that's right

Backstage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody says
"Forgive me if I seem out of line"
Then she whipped out a gun
And tried to blow me away

That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady

So never judge a book by its cover
Or who you gonna love by your lover?
Sayin' love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus
Lord, imagine my surprise

That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady

let me take a peek, dear
(Baby, let me follow you down) do me, do me, do me all night
(Baby, let me follow you down) turn the other cheek, dear
(Baby, let me follow you down) do me, do me, do me, do me

Oh, what a funky lady
Oh, she like it, like it, like it, like it, yeah
Oh, he was a lady, yeah!

That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady

That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady

Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady

A Little Respect

Written by Andy Bell and Vince Clarke
Performed by Erasure

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
Why you make-a-me work so hard

That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open you arms out to me?
We can make love not war
And live at peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover?

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
You know you make-a-me work so hard

That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

Eye in the Sky

Written by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson
Performed by Alan Parsons Project

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more, don't ask me
That's how it goes 'cause part of me knows what you're thinking

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more, believe me
The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusion behind
Don't cry, I ain't changin' my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believin'
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

I am the eye in the sky looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind

I am the eye in the sky looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind (Looking at you)
I can read your mind

Amazing

Written by George Michael and Jonathan Simon Douglas
Performed by George Michael

I was mixed up when you came to me
Too broke to fix
Said daddy get you gone
I'm missing my baby
Still missing my baby

I was stitched up
By the hands of fate
Said how you gonna make it on your own
If luck is a lady?
Maybe luck is a lady

I was going down
For the third time
My heart was broken
I was not open to your suggestion
I had so many questions
That you just kissed away

Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
That day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing
The way that love can set you free

So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think it's amazing

I think you're amazing

You tried to save me from myself
Said, "Darling, kiss as many as you want
My love's still available
And I know you're insatiable"

We're like victims (victims)
Of the same disease
Look at your big bad daddy, and your mom
And your mom
Was always acting crazy

I was going down
For the third time
My heart was broken
I thought that loving you was out of the question
(Loving you was out of the question)
Then I saw my reflection (reflection)
Saying please don't let this go

Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
That day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing
The way that love can set you free

So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing

Celebrate
this life with your baby
I think you should celebrate, yeah
Don't put your love in chains baby
No no, walk in the midday sun
I thought I was dreaming
I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing

I said celebrate the love of the one you're with
(Celebrate the love of the one you're with)
Celebrate, celebrate
(Celebrate the love of the one you're with)

As this life gets colder
And the devil inside
Tells you to give up
(Celebrate the love baby)

Say No to This

Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda
Performed by Cast of Hamilton

There's nothing like summer in the city
Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty
There's trouble in the air, you can smell it
And Alexander's by himself, I'll let him tell it

I hadn't slept in a week
I was weak, I was awake
You've never seen a bastard orphan more in need of a break
Longing for Angelica
Missing my wife
That's when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life, she said

I know you are a man of honor
I'm so sorry to bother you at home
But I don't know where to go, and I came here all alone

She said

My husband's doin' me wrong
Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me
Suddenly he's up and gone
I don't have the means to go on

So I offered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she said

You're too kind, sir

I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away
She lived a block away, she said

This one's mine, sir

Then I said, "Well, I should head back home"
She turned red, she led me to her bed
Let her legs spread and said

Stay

Hey

Hey

That's when I began to pray
Lord, show me how to say no to this
I don't know how to say no to this

But my God, she looks so helpless
And her body's saying, "Hell, yes"

Whoa

No, show me how to say no to this

I don't know how to say no to this

In my mind, I'm tryin' to go (go, go, go)

Then her mouth is on mine, and I don't say

No, no (say no to this)
No, no (say no to this)
No, no (say no to this)
No, no (say no to this)

I wish I could say that was the last time
I said that last time, it became a pastime
A month into this endeavor I received a letter
From a Mr. James Reynolds, even better, it said

Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me down on their luck
You see, that was my wife who you decided to (fuuuu)

Uh oh, you made the wrong sucker a cuckold
So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled
And hey, you can keep seein' my whore wife
If the price is right, if not I'm telling your wife

I hid the letter and I raced to her place
Screamed, "How could you?" In her face, she said

No, sir

Half dressed, apologetic, a mess, she looked pathetic, she cried

Please don't go, sir

So was your whole story a setup?

I don't know about any letter (stop crying God dammit, get up)

I didn't know any better (I am ruined)

Please don't leave me with him helpless (I am helpless how could I do this?)
Just give him what he wants and you can have me (I don't want you, I don't want you)

Whatever you want, if you pay

You can stay (Lord, show me how to say no to this)
I don't know how to say no to this
But this situation's helpless (helpless)

And her body's screaming, "Hell, yes"

No, show me how to say no to this (whoa)
How can I say no to this?
There is nowhere I can go (go, go, go)

When her body's on mine I do not say (no) yes

Say no to this

Say no to this, I don't say no to this
There is nowhere I can go (go, go, go)
So?

Nobody needs to know

Help!

Written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon
Performed by The Beatles


I need somebody
(Help) not just anybody
(Help) you know I need someone
(Help)

When I was younger (when I was younger), so much younger than today (I never need)
I never needed anybody's help in any way (now these days are gone)
But now these days are gone (these days are gone), I'm not so self-assured (and now I find)
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?

and now my life has changed in oh so many ways
(My independ-) my independence seems to vanish in the haze
(But every now and then) but every now and then I feel so insecure
(I know that I) I know that I just need you like I've never done before

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now these days are gone) but now these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured
(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?

Help me, help me, ooh

Take a Break

Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda
Performed by the cast of Hamilton

Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf (un deux trois quatre)
(Cinq six sept huit neuf)

Good, un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf (un deux trois quatre)
(Cinq six sept huit neuf)

Sept huit neuf
(Sept huit neuf)
Sept huit neuf (sept huit neuf)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

My dearest, Angelica
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
I trust you'll understand the reference to
Another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play
They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly
I'm a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain
Madison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff
And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane

And there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion away

Take a break
I am on my way
There's a little surprise before supper
And it cannot wait
I'll be there in just a minute, save my plate
Alexander
Okay, okay

Your son is nine years old today
He has something he'd like to say
He's been practicing all day
Phillip, take it away

Daddy, daddy, look
My name is Phillip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem just to show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes
But you can't write mine (what!)

I practice French
And play piano with my mother (uh-huh)
I have a sister, but I want a little brother (okay)
My daddy's trying to start America's bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq (bravo)

Take a break
Hey, our kid is pretty great
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
Eliza, I've got so much on my plate
We can all go stay with my father
There's a lake I know (I know)
In a nearby park (I'd love to go)
You and I can go when the night gets dark
I will try to get away

My dearest Alexander
You must get through to Jefferson
Sit down with him and compromise
Don't stop 'til you agree
Your fav'rite older sister
Angelica, reminds you
There's someone in your corner all the way across the sea

In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
It changed the meaning, did you intend this
One stroke and you've consumed my waking days
It says

My dearest Angelica
With a comma after dearest, you've written
My dearest, Angelica

Anyway, all this to say
I'm coming home this summer
At my sister's invitation
I'll be there with your fam'ly
If you make your way upstate
I know you're very busy
I know your work's important
But I'm crossing the ocean, and I just can't wait

You won't be an ocean away
You will only be a moment away

Alexander, come downstairs, Angelica's arriving today
Angelica
Eliza

The Schuyler sisters
Alexander
Hi
It's good to see your face

Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family
Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway
You're not joining us, wait
I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate
Alexander, I came all this way
She came all this way
All this way

Take a break
You know I have to get my plan through Congress
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
I lose my job if I don't get my plan through Congress
We can all go stay with our father

There's a lake I know (I know I'll miss your face)
In a nearby park (screw your courage to the sticking place)
You and I can go (Eliza's right)
Take a break and get away (run away with us for the summer)
Let's go upstate
Where we can stay (we can all go stay with our father)
Look around, look around (if you take your time)
At how lucky we are to be alive right now (you will make your mark)
We can go (Close your eyes and dream)
When the night gets dark
Take a break

I have to get my plan through Congress
I can't stop 'til I get this plan through Congress
