Waiting on the dance
To get started
Hollywood stands, it's jammed down
Hoo cha!
It's a party now
I wanna dance

Everybody wanna dance
Move those bodies around
While the music spins
Get down, get down, get down
Get...
It's gonna be an all night thing
It's gonna be an all night thing
Baby, it's an all night thing
It's gonna be an all night thing
Break out!
Freaks on the floor
Freaks on the floor
All the freaks on the floor
On a saturday night
Disco is explode
Strange freaky vibes
Flashing lights of red
Blue, yellow and green
It's a funky scene
Ready for the hit
Get on your knees
It's gonna be an all night thing
It's gonna be an all night thing
Baby, it's an all night thing
It's gonna be an all night thing

Move a little close
For you to hear
Don't ya know?
You got me shifting in fifth gear
You look so fine
I want your number
In my book
Gonna take you home with me
And get it on
Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me Composer(s): Lonnie Glosson; Wayne Raney Performer(s): Wayne Raney; and various other artists
They say the love bug will get you at the age of 23 I'm not telling my age but something got a hold of me I'm just craving some lovin' in that old fashion way Honey linger near and listen to all I had to say Why don't you haul off and love me one more time Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turning blind If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do I'm gonna haul off and die over you
Now honey come a little closer put your little hand in mine Let me feel your arms about me honey please don't change your mind 'Cause my lovesick heart's a troublin' as I hold you close to mine I'm just havin' lot of lovin' waitin' for me on the line Why don't you haul off and love me...
Now I can feel your warm lips near me hear you breathe so soft and fine I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine I don't believe that love will hurt you cause it feels so nice and kind I get mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line Why don't you haul off and love me...
All Night Operator Composer(s): Bryan Ferry Performer(s): Bryan Ferry
Can´t you hear me talkin´ to you I´m callin´ you one more time All night operator Dial me a better line Can´t you hear me talkin´ to you Do telephones make you cry? I try to write letters Only my pen runs dry Though my words sound so confused The feeling is running strong Stick tight operator Help me to pass it on Final connection A bridge before the fall Receiver unrestin´ I count on your call Am I just a number to you A handful of empty sighs All night operator Reader between the lies With half the world dreamin´ I see through your eyes A switchboard breathin´ A diary of crossed lines Can´t you hear me talkin´ to you I´m callin´ you one more time All night operator Dial me better line If you feel me driftin´ away Slippin´ into my song All night operator All of a sudden - gone
Why Don't You Fall In Love With Me Composer(s): Al Lewis; Bernie Wayne Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen; and various other artists
As long as you're not in love with anyone else Why don't you fall in love with me You're drivin' me crazy, baby, try to be gay Will you tell me no, or will you tell me yea
You gotta go overboard for someone someday Believe it or not, it's bound to be As long as you're not in love with anyone else Why don't you fall in love with me
All Night Long Composer(s): Price Performer(s): Jo Stafford
All night long I sigh for you I keep remembr'ing what your love can do I miss you, baby, all night long
And all night long I twist and turn I keep remembr'ing how your kiss can burn And I miss you, baby, all night long
I wish I had a magic phone from your heart to mine I'd call you heart to heart each night on your private line Then all night long so constantly I'd keep you busy makin' love to me
I'd love you, baby, all night long I'd love you, baby, all night long

You had plenty money, Nineteen-Twenty-Two You let other women make a fool of you Why don't you do right like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too
You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all about You ain't got no money, they will put you out Why don't you do right like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too
If you had prepared twenty years ago You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door Why don't you do right like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too
I fell for your jivin' and I took you in Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin Why don't you do right like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too Why don't you do right like some other men do? Like some other men do

Why don't you believe me It's you I adore Forever and ever Can I promise more I've told you so often The way that I care Why don't you believe me It just isn't fair
Here is a heart that is lonely Here is a heart you can take Here is a heart for you only That you can keep or break
How else can I tell you What more can I do Why don't you believe me I love only you
Here is a heart that is lonely Here is a heart you can take Here is a heart for you only That you can keep or break

Why Don't You & I Composer(s): Chad Kroeger Performer(s): Santana; The Countdown Singers; Kidz Bop Kids; The Starlite Singers
Since the moment I spotted you Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes My stomach's filled with the butterflies And it's alright Bouncing round from cloud to cloud I got the feelin' like I'm never gonna come down If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you I get tongue-tied Turns out, everything I say to you Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together an' take on the world, be together forever Heads we will and tails we'll try again So I say why don't you and I hold each other, fly to the moon and straight on to heaven Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
When's this fever gonna break? I think I've handled more than any man can take I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around And it's alright Bouncin' round from cloud to cloud I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you Get tongue-tied Turns out, everything I say to you Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together an' take on the world and be together forever Heads we will and tails we'll try again So I say why don't you and I get together, fly to the moon and straight on to heaven Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
Slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end But about the same time you walk by And I say oh here we go again, oh
Every time I try to talk to you I get tongue-tied Turns out, everything I say to you Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together an' take on the world and be together forever Heads we will and tails we'll try again So I say why don't you and I hold each other, fly to the moon and straight on to heaven Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
So I'll say why don't you and I get together take and on the world and be together forever Heads we will and tails we'll try again So I say why don't you and I hold each other, fly to the moon and straight on to heaven Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
So I`ll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever Heads we will and tails we'll try again
All New People Composer(s): Iain Matthews - Julian Dawson Performer(s): Iain Matthews
A hundred years from now - all new people
When I was young my sky was wide And not a lot went on inside A different drum and a place to hide Was all I wanted Now when I look at what I've done At who I was how far I've come I can't unlock (undo) what I've begun And I'm still haunted
Life she said's a piece of cake It's just a game of give and take That's all it is for heaven's sake Don't complicate it You know what I think's wrong with you And this is just my point of view You want your cake and eat it too And don't you hate it
One hundred years from now - all new people One hundred years from now - all new people
I left my love a goodbye note See you later's all I wrote And said a prayer she'd stay afloat With bridges burning Made a new life for myself And hoped she'd do the same as well Then jumped back on the carousel I'll keep on turning
For about as far as the eye can see My life stretched out in back of me Memories came shooting from it Like the fiery tail of Halley's comet In the year 2062 I'll be long gone and so will you Across the southern hemisphere When Halley's comet reappears again
Why Don't Women Like Me? Composer(s): George Formby Performer(s): George Formby; - 1933 Clinton Ford; Richard Thompson
Now I know Im not handsome, no good looks or wealth But the girls I chase say my plain face will compromise their health Now I know fellows worse than me bow-legged and boss-eyed Walking out with lovely women clinging to their side
Now if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me? Look at Empress Josephine, the most attractive women that ever was seen Yet Napoleon short and fat, captivates a lovely looking dame like that Now if women like them like men like those - why dont women like me? Hey, hey, why dont women like me?
Last night I went out walking, my intentions were to click But the sights I saw whilst walking out, they nearly made me sick I must admit I saw some girls, attractive little dears Arm in arm with ugly men with cauliflower ears
Now if women like them like men like those - why dont women like me? What can the attraction be, thats the thing that always starts to worry me Although I havent got a bean, Ive got a lot of things that girls have never seen Now if women like them like men like those - why dont women like me? Hey, hey, why dont women like me?
Now I went for my holidays down to the gay seaside And I saw a lot of things there being hidden by the tide The way some women jumped around the man there in the sea Made me think that there is still a good chance left for me
Cause if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me Of all the shapes and sizes there Ive got a chance of clicking yet I do declare For I dont want to be a nark, I saw a lot of things below the watermark Now if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me? Hey, hey - why dont women like me?
Now if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me? Take Lord Nelson with one limb, Lady William Hamilton she fell for him With one eye and one arm gone west, she ran like the devil and she grabbed the rest Now if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me? Hey, hey - why dont women like me?
All New Minglewood Blues (Traditional) Performer(s): Grateful Dead
I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den Oh, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men

Said, I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den Said, I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den Yes and my number one occupation is stealing women from their men
I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den Oh, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men

All My Troubles Composer(s): Black Oak Arkansas Performer(s): Black Oak Arkansas
Got up this morning Got into my car Turned on the motor But it would not start Late for work Feelin' tired Worst of all I got myself fired Lost my job Got my pay Lost it all On the ace of spades
But all my troubles Would be through If I could make love with you
Things got bad Out of work I robbed a store And I shot the clerk Woman sweet woman I done my best But that got me surrounded I been shot in my chest I can hear 'em comin' Bustin' down the door If I could only See you once more
All my troubles Would be through If I could make love with you
There's a reason for this story Morals to my sons Ya better know what's right Ya better know what's wrong When it rains it pours That's nature's way We're all little children That forgot how to play There ain't but one thing I got left to say Somethin' don't come from nothin' You always gotta pay
But all my troubles Would be through If I could make love with you
All My Trials ((French & German Versions: La Fin Du Voyage (by Nana Mouskouri); Am Ziel Meiner Reise (by Nana Mouskouri) Composer(s): Rita Green - Anita Carter Performer(s): Harry Belafonte and multiple other artists
Hush little baby, don't you cry You know your mama was born to die All my trials, Lord, soon be over
Too late, my brothers Too late, but never mind All my trials, Lord, soon be over
If religion were a thing that money could buy The rich would live and the poor would die All my trials, Lord, soon be over
I've got a little book that was given to me And every page spells liberty All my trials, Lord, soon be over
There is a tree in Paradise And the pilgrims call it the Tree of Life All my trials, Lord, soon be over
