YOU CAN HAVE THE T.V.
By
Barry Manilow
***************
You can have the T.V.
I’ll take the radio
Really, I don’t want the T.V.
Just please the radio
I’d like that chair if you don’t want it
Thank you
You keep the couch
You’ll need a couch that’s ok
You can keep the records
Cause it’s your sterio
Really, I won’t need the records
Without a sterio
I’d like the kitchen chairs and table
Thank you
You keep the bed
I’ll buy a bed
That’s ok
The books we can split in half
The pots and pan we’ll do the same
The pictures on the wall
We can split in half
And you can have the scrabble game
The money in the bank
We can split in half
And you can have your single name
Our friends, we can split in half
And we can each have half the lane
Ok it’s settled then
You can have the t.v.
I’ll take the radio
Really I don’t want the t.v.
Just please the radio
I’ll like a lamp if you don’t want it
Thank you
You keep the couch you’ll need a couch
That’s ok
You keep the bed, I’ll buy a bed
That’s ok
The dog, you keep the dog
I’ll come around and see him now and then
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER
***************
You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You could even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
“Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer,
You’ll go down in history.”
AT THE DANCE
***************
Feel the heat tonight
Everything so right
Let’s get together
At the dance
Turn down all the lights
I wanna hold you tight
Let’s stay here forever at the dance
Music starts to play
Carries us away
Let’s get together
At the dance
Feel your body move
Get into the groove
Let’s stay here forever at the dance
I’ve been watching you
You’ve been watching me
You’re my dream come true
You’re my fantasy
Will you be my girl?
Will you stay with me?
Let yourself go free
Come along with me
Let’s get together
At the dance
Girl we’ll be so fine
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
Let’s stay here forever
At the dance
I want to touch you now
Feel you close to me
Now I know just how
Love’s supposed to be
Feel the heat tonight
Everything so right
Let’s get together at the dance
Let’s get together
You and me will get together
Turn down all the lights
I wanna hold you tight
Let’s get together at the dance
Music starts to play
Carries us away
Let’s stay here forever at the dance
Feel your body move
Get into the groove
Let’s get together at the dance
Girl, we’ll be so fine
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
Let’s stay here forever at the dance
Let yourself go free
Come on over here to me
Let’s get together at the dance
Can you feel the heat tonight?
Ooh, everything’s so right
JUMP SHOUT BOOGIE
***************
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
THE LAST DUET
***************
You creep
Into my heart
And make my heart burn
You sneak
Into my mind
And make my head ache
There are things I long to tell you
You’re much too blonde
You snore
Look
It’s time to face the music
Bye, Bye!
Don’t slam the door
And I don’t want
I don’t want
I don’t want
I don’t want
No, I don’t want your flowers anymore
This is the last duet
Last chance you’re gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me
This is the final song
And when the music’s through
This is the last duet
I’ll ever do with you
You’re not the one that I want
Ooh, ooh ooh
Tood-le-oo (honey)
Don’t go breakin’ my back
Don’t call me
I’ll call you
Back together
Reunited
Should feel so good
They say
So I hope there’s no hard feelings
Don’t go ‘way mad
Just go ‘way
’cause
Enough
Is enough
Is enough
Is enough
Too much too little too late
Tonight
Tonight
With you I’m bored again!
This is the last duet
Last chance you’re gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me
This is the final song
And when the music’s through
This is the last duet
I’ll ever do with you
This is the last duet
Last chance you’re gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me
This is the final song
And when the music’s through
This is the last duet
I’ll ever do
I’ll ever do
I’ll never never never never never do
With you
THERE’S A KIND OF HUSH (ALL OVER THE WORLD)
***************
There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There’s nobody else and I’m feeling good just holding you tight
So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn’t a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever
There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn’t a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever
There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world people just like us are fallin’ in love
Yeah, they’re fallin’ in love
Hush, they’re fallin’ in love
Hush
