JUMP SHOUT BOOGIE
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Well not to long ago in 1944
When every mothers son was goin’ off to war
They had to lift there spirits high
For Uncle Sam ,mother hood and apple pie
Instead of spendin’ money that they didn’t have
In hot spots in the Bronx
They went to here the kind of jazz
You hear in funky hunky tonks
It made you wanna
Jump! shout! knock your self out
The bogie-wogie beat is what I’m talkin’ about
If you have the heebie jeebies you can dance away
To the bogie-wogie music the piano man was playin’
And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie beat is what I’m talking about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who’s going to town
It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin’ and the pluckin’ drove ’em off the wall
And they would dance and drink their gin
And when the fuzz, buzzed they joined in
So everybody partied ’till the cows came home
’cause that’s what boggie’s for
And everynight that dump will jump
And keepem’ coming back for more
Because they make you wanna….
It made you wanna jump, shout
Who wanna jump! shout
You wanna jump! shout
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin’
You could jump! shout! knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie beat is what I’m talking about
You could pull a switcharoonie if your felt low down
To the boogie-woogie beat of piano
Shake it yes, yes, yes
I WANNA DO IT WITH YOU
***************
Doesn’t matter where I go
Doesn’t matter who I know
Nowadays I always find
You are always on my mind
All I think about is love
Love is all I’m dreamin’ of
I lay around in a daze
Thinkin’ of all the ways
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna hold you all night long
Ooh baby,feel so strong
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I want to love out my fantasies
Come on baby please
Say you will say I can
Say that I can be your man
You’ve been out had your flings
I’ve been waiting in the wings
I know my part I know my lines
I’ve rehearsed so many times
Let me turn the lights down low
And we can get on with the show
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna hold you all night long
Ooh baby,feel so strong
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I want to love out my fantasies
Come on baby please
Oh honey,move on in my direction
Time for some serious affection
Oh,it’s gonna be such a fine thing
Talk about thunder and lightning
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna hold you all night long
Ooh baby,feel so strong
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I want to love out my fantasies
Come on baby

RAIN
***************
Gray clouds rollin’over my head
I can see a storm in the sky
All night long you’re tossin’ in bed
All night long I’m outa my head it’s
Rain
Fallin’ down from the sky
Kissin’ my love goodbye
Rain fallin’down
I can’t take the
Rain
Washin’ my love away
I’m cryin’ for yesterday
Rain fallin’ down
Gray clouds rollin’ over my head
I can see a storm in the sky
Don’t know where this lovin’ has led
Why can’t there be sun instead of
Rain
Fallin’down from the sky
Kissin’ my love goodbye
Rain fallin’down
I can’t take the
Rain
Washin’my love away
I’m cryin for yesterday
Rain fallin’ down
Darlin you got to stop the rain
Only you can stop the rain
Only you can do it
Darlin you got to stop the rain
Only you can stop the rain
Only you can stop it
Everything is falling apart
And I don’t think I can stand the rain anymore
No’ no more , no more rain
No more rain
Stop the rain, stop the rain from falling down
I’ve got to stop the rain from falling down
You and me babe
What we had was good
Oh I knew we could have made it
I can’t take this rain
Falling down from the sky
Kissing my love goodbye
Rain fallin down
Someone stop the rain
Washing my love away
Crying for yesterday
Rain falling down
Women you got to stop the rain
Only you can stop the rain
Only you can do it
Darlin you got to stop the rain
Only you can stop this rain

CARELESS WHISPER
***************
Time can never mend the careless whispers, of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find
Should’ve known better
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we’d want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one’s gonna dance with me
Please stay
And I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
(Now that you’re gone) Now that you’re gone
(Now that you’re gone) What I did’s so wrong
That you had to leave me alone
