Together We’ll Be O.K.

Laugh me a laugh, grin me a grin,
And then I know that we can win,
Dance me a dance, joke me a joke,
And blow the clouds away.

You gotta play me a tune, sing me a song,
And we can help push life along,
Just you and me, come on and see,
Together we’ll be O.K.

Open the door, open your heart,
And then we got somewhere to start,
Just turn around, look what we’ve found,
Todays a brand new day.

You gotta run with me now, I’ll show you how,
The world is waiting, take a bow,
Show them its you, what you can do,
Together we two can win.

‘Rock on Tommy’, dance to a tune that this guitar sings,
‘Rock on Tommy’, just get up and spread your wings (Spread your wings).

Follow me through, into the sun,
And we can smile at everyone,
You gotta join in with me, then we are free,
It isn’t hard to do.

I said life is a song, so just sing along,
And then we know we can’t go wrong,
Just you and me, come on and see,
Together we’ll be O.K,
Together we’ll be O.K,
Together we’ll be O.K.

Crying

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Boogie boogie boogie shoo

I sit alone
Wondering why
That little girl
she said goodbye

Now I’m crying
(He’s always crying)
Yes I’m crying
(He’s always crying)

I can’t believe
She’d do me no wrong
Being alone
Isn’t much fun

Now I’m crying
(He’s always crying)
Yes I’m crying
(He’s always crying)

Where can I go?
What do I say?
Just aint the time
Just aint the day
Have you a heart?
Come back to me
Baby baby can’t you see

That I’m crying
(He’s always crying)
Yes I’m crying
(He’s always crying)

Spoken:
T: Hey man, what’s with that weird voice
B: What you talking like that for Tommy
T: Because I haven’t been well
B: Oh dear, what’s been up
T: What’s been up? I’ll tell you boy. My little baby, she’s left me and I’m broken hearted
B: Oh no
T: Oh yes
B: Oh no
T: Oh yes
B: You don’t look upset to me
T: But I’m cryin’
B: No, you’re not cryin’
T: You can see I’m cryin’
B: No, I don’t think you’re cryin’
T: I just said goddamnit I’m crying
B: No, I don’t think you’re cryin’
T: I’ve told you four times now I’m cryin’
B: Alright

Yes I’m crying
(He’s always crying)
Yes I’m crying
(He’s always crying)
Yes I’m crying
(Cry cry, cry cry cry cry)
Oh my God I’m crying
(Cry cry, cry cry cry cry)

T: Somebody kill that man
B: I’ve got to go for my dinner now

Hold Me In Your Arms

Both: No more laughter
No goodbyes
No more tears
Just smiles

But what we’re feeling
We’re revealing
I’m not hurting
Not certain
I just want to be warm at night

So hold me in your arms
Gently sway
Let me rock
All your cares away

So hold me in your arms
Gently sway
Theres no meanings
No feelings
Just hold me in your arms

Bobby: Fires burning
Tommy: I hear the night is calling
Bobby: Deep inside
Tommy: Outside the rain is falling
Bobby: Flowers growing
Tommy: I hear the church bells ringing
Bobby: Summers time

Bobby: What we’re feeling
Tommy: I don’t know what we’re feeling
Bobby: We’re revealing
Tommy: I cannot see the meaning
Bobby: We’re not cold
Tommy: I know
Bobby: Not old
Tommy: I know
Both: You’re just waiting for the time

So hold me in your arms
Gently sway
Let me rock
All your cares away

Bobby: Hold me in your arms
Tommy: Oh darling
Bobby: Gently sway
Tommy: Oh darling
Bobby: Let me rock
Both: All your cares away

Bobby: Hold me in your arms
Tommy: I want to rock you baby
Bobby: Gently sway
Tommy: I want to hold you baby
Bobby: Let me rock
Both: All your cares away

Bobby: Hold me in your arms
Tommy: Oh darling
Bobby: Gently sway
Tommy: Oh darling

Let Me Rock You

I’ve been riding, riding so high
That my feet aint touched the ground
And I’m never gonna close my eyes
Just as long as you’re around

So let us ride upon the stars
And let me hold you in my arms
With love sweet love you and I
We can do most anything if we try

So let me rock you, baby, rock you
Let me roll you, baby, roll you
Let me rock you, baby, rock you
In my arms

Its not only the blind who cannot see
These chains you hang around me
As big as the mountains, as high as the sky
Over the rainbow our love will fly

So let us ride upon the morning
Let it flow upon the breeze
Teach a song to the bluebirds
Let them sing in the trees

So let me rock you, baby, rock you
Let me roll you, baby, roll you
Let me rock you, baby, rock you
Let me roll you, baby, roll you
Let me rock you, baby, rock you
In my arms

So let me rock you, baby, rock you
Let me roll you, baby, roll you
Let me rock you, baby, rock you
Let me roll you, baby, roll you
Let me rock you, baby, rock you
Let me roll you, baby, roll you
Let me rock you, baby, rock you
Let me roll you, baby, roll you

The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore

Loneliness is a cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there

The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you’re without love

Emptiness is a place you’re in
With nothing to do, no more to say

The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you’re without love

Lonely
Without you, baby
Girl, I need you,
I can’t go on

The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you’re without love

The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky
The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky
The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky

Ev’ry night, I hope and pray

A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms

Because I want, I want a girl
Just to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don’t have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you
With a love oh so true
And a hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old

Because I want a girl
To call my own

So I don’t have to dream alone

Someday, I don’t know how
I just hope that you’ll hear my plea
Some where, I don’t know how
She’s gonna bring her little loving to me

Dream lover, until then
I’ll go to sleep and dream again
That’s the only thing to do
Till all my lover’s dreams come true

Because I want I said a girl
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don’t have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you
With a love oh so true
And a hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old

Because I want a girl
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don’t have to dream alone
Please don’t let me dream alone

Dreamin’ he’s always dreamin’
I’m always dreamin’
Dreamin’ he’s always dreamin’
Dreamin’, I keep on dreamin’
Dreamin’ he’s always dreamin’

Nellie The Elephant

To Bombay a travelling circus came
They brought an intelligent elephant
And Nellie was her name
One dark night she slipped her iron chain,
And off she ran to Castleford
And was never seen again

So…
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And trundled back to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump

The head of the herd was calling far far away
They met one night in the silver light
On the road to Mandalay

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump

Night by night she danced to the circus band
When Nellie was leading the big parade
She looked so proud and grand
No more tricks for Nellie to perform
They taught her how to take a bow
And she took the crowd by storm

The head of the herd was calling far far away
They met one night in the silver light
On the road to Mandalay

So…
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety trump
Trump
Trump
Trump

Remember The Stars

Turn on the TV, we’re on the air
Just two song and dance men we’re no Fred Astairs
The music plays, it’ll make you laugh and shout
That rhythm section sure knows what its about

This is the evening you’ve been waiting for
So clap your hands, we’re gonna raise the roof some more

We’re two Clark Gables,
with a touch of Harry Lyme
We’ve got Errol Flynns eyes
And it’s driving the girls wild
We’re two Valentinos
With the looks of Eric Clownes
Theres no girls safe
When these two boys are back in town

Spoken: Roll up roll up ladies and gentlemen
It’s the greatest show on earth
You pays your money, you takes your choice

And when I’m smoochy, ooh and when I’m cool
Wiggle them now, I dance the whole night through
The music plays, the sound it comes out
That rhythm section sure knows what its about

This is the night, you can laugh and sing
Forget your troubles and come along with me

Spoken: Hurry hurry hurry ladies and gentlemen
This show is about to start

Better Love Next Time

I’m your friend, you can talk to me
I read your face, I see misery
That the one you love has left you dry
Don’t start believing that you’re gonna die
Just pick your heart up off the floor
And try, try again…..

You’ll find better love next time, baby
Don’t give up and I know you’re gonna find
Better love next time, baby
Someone will be waiting down the line
With better love, better love, better love, better love
Better love, better love next time

Sometimes it’s better to let it all go
I’ve been there and I think I should know
So have a good cry, wash out your heart
If you keep it inside it’ll tear you apart
Sometimes you lose but you’re gonna win
If you just, if you just hang on in

You’ll find better love next time, baby
Don’t give up and I know you’re gonna find
Better love next time, baby
Someone will be waiting down the line
With better love, better love, better love

Better love next time, baby
Don’t give up and I know you’re gonna find
Better love next time, baby
Someone will be waiting down the line

This Time

Seems like a long time
Since the days of you and I
I can’t help feeling
The magic never really dies

And if you feel
Even half the friendship I do
Still feel for you
Then we got what it takes
There’ll be no more mistakes

This time
We’ll get all the breaks that we need
We will succeed
This time
Following our dreams where they lead
I believe we can find
What our hopes left behind
Oh won’t it be fine this time

I still remember
When we said our last goodbyes
Life made us foolish
Maybe time will make us wise

And there’s no way
We can lose this friendship we’ve found
This time around
Now there’s no room for doubt
We can make it work out

This time
We’ll get all the breaks that we need
We will succeed
This time
Following our dreams where they lead
I believe we can find
What our hopes left behind
Oh and won’t it be fine

This time
We’ll get all the breaks that we need
We will succeed
This time
Following our dreams where they lead
I believe we can find
What our hopes left behind
Oh and won’t it be fine
This time
