ROCK ARIA

 

Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
I'm ready, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm ready
And I'm really gonna rock tonight
Sweet little lady sings like a songbird
And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard
But she ain't ready
No, no, no, she ain't ready
No, no, no, she ain't ready
And she ain't gonna rock and roll
CHORUS
She's sweet on Wagner
I think she'd die for Beethoven
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune
And Verdi's always creeping from her room
Come on, I'll sow you how to sing the blues
Now baby, come on over, you got nothin' to lose
Are you ready, hey, hey, hey, are you ready
Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready
I wanna show you how to rock and roll
Now listen here, baby, she said to me
Just meet me at the opera house at quarter to three
'Cause I'm ready, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready
Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready
I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues
CHORUS

 

 

 

 

ROCK"N"ROLL IS KING

 

 

Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said rock 'n' roll is king
She loves that rock 'n' roll and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet
She says rock 'n' roll is king
Chorus:
Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be
It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
She said rock 'n' roll is king
Repeat Chorus:
When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play
She says rock 'n' roll is king


 

 

 

 

 

 

MAGIC

 

With Olivia Newton John

 

Come take my hand, you should know me, I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind, I'll be guiding you
Building your dream has to start now, there's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake, I'll be guiding you
Chorus:
You have to believe we are magic, nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic, don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive, destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive, for you
I'll bring all your dreams alive, for you
From where I stand you are home free, the planets align so rare
There's promise in the air, and I'm guiding you
Through every turn I'll be near you, I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall, I'll be guiding you
chorus


MR BLUE SKY

 

Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day.
Runnin' down the avenue,
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.
CHORUS
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.
Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for
CHORUS:REPEAT
Mr. Blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I'll remember you this way.

 

DON’T BRING ME DOWN

 

Don't Bring Me Down
Electric Light Orchestra
You got me running going out of my mind
You got me thinking me that I'm wasting my time
{Refrain}
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, ooh ooh
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You want to stay out with your fancy friends
I'm telling you it's gotta be the end
{Refrain}
Don't bring me down, Bruce (3x)
Don't bring me down
What happenned to the girl I used to know
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
{Refrain}
You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days you're gonna get it right
{Refrain}
Don't bring me down, Bruce (3x)
Don't bring me down
You're looking good just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass
Don't bring me down
No no, no no, no no, no no, no, ooh ooh
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You got got me shaking, got me running away
You got me crawling up to you every day
{Refrain}
Down, down, down, down, down
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
