You Had To Be There Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Antoine Le Grand Performer(s): Steve Lawrence
You can say I'm lazy, slowly goin' crazy Longin' for a taste of New York air But what's the since of talking, wastin' my breath Cause I guess that you just had to be there
When all the candy was a nickel, people weren't fickel No one had a dime, but did they care Talk about the good times, they were the best But I guess that you just had to be there
A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed And we were happy, happier then So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminisin' NYC is you I'm missin'
Give me a New Yorker, any old New Yorker Bet we got a million songs to share Laughin' on the outside, slightly depressed Cause you know I'll like to be there, guess you had to be there If I could only be there now
Music interlude
A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed And we were happy, happier then So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminesin' NYC is you I'm missin'

Summer Sand Composer(s): Russell Brown - Irwin Levine Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn
Tonight I'm yours And you are mine, now But is it love Or just summertime, now? Ooh, the time is right Come hold me tight Let's grab onto the love that we can borrow And let's not hang each other up With words that we'll forget about tomorrow 'Cause the things we write in the summer sand The "I love you"'s and the future plans Disappear, slip right through your hand Like this warm, soft bed of summer sand You got someone And so do I, now Our hearts are locked in So why should we lie, now? Bathe with me in harmony Let's sing our summer song and sing it sweetly For we can't stop the autumn wind that blows away The summer sand completely Yes, the things we write in the summer sand The "I love you"'s and the future plans Disappear, slip right through your hand Like this warm, soft bed of summer sand Oh, the time is right Come hold me tight Let's grab onto the love that we can borrow And let's not hang each other up With words that we'll forget about tomorrow 'Cause the things we write in the summer sands The "I love you"'s and the future plans Disappear, slip right through your hand Like this warm, soft bed of summer sand Things we write in the summer sand The "I love you"'s and the future plans Disappear, slip right through your hand Like this warm, soft bed of summer sand
You Gotta Stop Composer(s): Bill Giant; Bernie Baum; Florence Kaye Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Baby you've been lying to me Now I'm onto you It's the same old song But it doesn't ring true
That's right, you're wrong again Time to change and put you on your own again You've had your way too long Time for me to be moving on
You gotta stop, you're wrong again Stop that song again You've been steppin' out, wild and fancy free Now you've had your fun and you're running back to me It just can't be if there's no harmony Then stop!
That's all, let's break it up You've had me fooled, now I'm wakin' up I see right through your lies You made me open my eyes
You gotta stop, you're wrong again Stop that song again It's too late now, I've made up my mind Being here with you is just a waste of time Nothing to say so I'll be on my way Stop!
(Instrumental Break)
You gotta stop, you're wrong again Stop that song again It's too late now, I've made up my mind Being here with you is just a waste of time It just can't be if there's no harmony Then stop!
Stop, you're wrong again Stop that song again Stop, you're wrong again You gotta stop that song again Stop!
Summer Rain Composer(s): James Hendricks Performer(s): Johnny Rivers
Summer rain taps on my window West wind soft as a sweet dream My love warm as the sunshine Sittin' here by me, she's here by me
She stepped out on the rainbow Golden hair shinin' like moonglow Warm lips soft as a soul Sittin' here by me, yeah, she's here by me
All summer long we spent dancin' in the sand And the jukebox kept on playin' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
We sailed into the sunset Drifted home caught by a gulf stream Never gave a thought for tomorrow Just let tomorrow be, let tomorrow be
She wants to live in the Rockies She says that's where we'll find peace Settle down, raise up a family To call our own, yeah, we'll have a home
All summer long we spent groovin' in the sand Everybody kept on playin' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
Winter snow drifts by my window North wind blowin' like thunder Our love's burnin' like fire And she's here by me, yeah, she's here with me Let tomorrow be
You Gotta S-m-i-l-e To Be H-a-p-p-y Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel Performer(s): Shirley Temple
If something may upset you Don't ever let it get you down Don't wear a frown
If fortune should forsake you Don't ever let it make you sigh Keep shooting high
Be a crooner, not a groaner, never kick Here's a spelling lesson That will do the trick
You've got to S-M-I-L-E To be H-A-double-P-Y Keep it in mind when you're blue It's easy to spell and just as easy to do You gotta S-M-I-L-E It's gonna help considerably Just keep your chin up and give it a try And you'll find silver lined clouds in the sky You've gotta S-M-I-L-E To be H-A-double-P-Y
Ladies and gentlemen, just for fun I'd like to sing this song again The way it would be done, by... Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, and last but not least That swingable pair, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire
You've gotta S-M-I-L-E, oh, like the birdies Birdies, birdies up in the trees Pretty flowers, April showers, my Mammy Life is divine at a quarter to nine You've simply gotta S-M-I-L-E 'Cos potatoes are cheaper you see I won't spend a nickel, I won't spend a sou I just want to spend one hour with you S-M-I-L-E Parkayakarkus with Ida, Mammy!
Summer Rain Composer(s): Robbie Seidman - Maria Vidal First release by: Belinda Carlisle - 1990
Whispering our goodbyes Waiting for a train I was dancing with my baby In the summer rain I can hear him saying Nothing will change Come dancing with me baby In the summer rain
I remember the rain on our skin And his kisses hotter than the Santa Ana winds Whispering our goodbyes Waiting for a train I was dancing with my baby In the summer rain
I remember laughing til we almost cried (There at station that night) I remember looking in his eyes
Oh my love, it's you and that I dream of Oh my love, since that day Somewhere in my heart I'm always Dancing with you in the summer rain
Doesn't matter what I do now Doesn't matter what I say Somewhere in my heart I'm always Dancing with you in the summer rain
I can hear the whistle Military train I was dancing with my baby In the summer rain I can here him singing Ooh "Love Is Strange" Come dance with me baby In the summer rain
I remember the rain pouring down And we poured our hearts out As the train pulled out I can see my baby Waving from the train It was last time that I saw him In the summer rain
Every time I see the lightening Every time I hear the thunder Every time I close the window When this happens in the summer Oh the night is so inviting I can feel that you are so close I can feel you when the wind blows Blows right through my heart
Every night and every day now Though I know you've gone away Somewhere in my heart I'm always Dancing with you in the summer rain

Summer of love Summer of love
I'm standing in the rain Just feeling the nitty-gritty of the Whole thing Everything is very speical Look in and see what I got Orange popsicles and lemonade
It's the summer of love, love, love I'm in love with love, love, love For everyone transcends here I'm thinking of you boy Love energy is giving us a shove Making this the summer of love I said, "I see no clouds ahead"

Summer Nights Composer(s): Warren Casey - Jim Jacobs First release by: John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John & Cast - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
Summer loving had me a blast Summer loving happened so fast I met a girl crazy for me Met a boy cute as can be Summer days drifting away to Oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more Did you get very far Tell me more, tell me more Like does he have a car
She swam by me she got a cramp He ran by me got my suit damp I saved her life she nearly drowned He showed off splashing around Summer sun somethings begun but Oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more Was it love at first sight? Tell me more, tell me more Did she put up a fight?
Took her bowling in the arcade We went strolling drank lemonade We made out under the dock We stayed out till 10 o'clock Summer fling don't mean a thing But oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more But you don't gotta brag Tell me more, tell me more Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly holding my hand She got friendly down in the sand He was sweet just turned eighteen Well she was good you know what I mean Summer heat boy and girl meet But oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more How much dough did he spend? Tell me more, tell me more Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder that's where it ends So I told her we'd still be friends Then we made our true love vow Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped a the seams But oh those summer nights Tell me more, tell me more
You Gotta Go Composer(s): Lionel Bart; Mike Pratt; Tommy Steele Performer(s): Tommy Steele & The Steelmen
Some folks get kicks cutting the rug Some folks like to spit in the jug Some folks stay at home sitting in snug Not me, I got the travelling bug
When you gotta go, you gotta go Something down below Comes right up and tells you so One thing that I know When you gotta go, you gotta go-go-go
This guy takes his chick to a dance This might start a future romance But this romance ain't getting a chance 'Cause suddenly he gets ants in his pants
When you gotta go, you gotta go Something down below Comes right up and tells you so One thing that I know When you gotta go, you gotta go-go-go
A sailor has to go to sea A builder has to go to tea One day you must come to me And that's just how it oughta be
When you gotta go, you gotta go Something down below Comes right up and tells you so One thing that I know When you gotta go, you gotta go-go-go
Been to Spain and Timbuktoo Been to Maine and Calamazoo Gonna get 'em when I'm through Baby you'll be travelling too
When you gotta go, you gotta go Something down below Comes right up and tells you so One thing that I know When you gotta go, you gotta go-go and go...

Mama told me that some day it would happen But she never said that it would happen like this Papa said, "Look out, some girl'll catch you nappin' Some little girl will get to you with her kiss" You got to me You brought me to may knees Never thought I'd say please, girl You got to my soul You got control You got to me, you got to be mine
Used to slip though every girl's hand like water There never was one who could ever tie me down Straight ahead and steady as Gibraltar 'Til you brought me tumblin' to the ground
You got to me You brought me to may knees Never thought I'd say please, girl You got to my soul You got control You got to me, you got to be mine
The Summer Knows (aka Theme From 'Summer of 42' - 1972) Composer(s): Marilyn Bergman - Alan Bergman - Michel Legrand First release by: Michel Legrand - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
The summer smiles, the summer knows And unashamed, she sheds her clothes The summer smoothes the restless sky And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie The summer knows, the summer's wise She sees the doubts within your eyes And so she takes her summer time Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger Twists the world 'round her summer finger Lets you see the wonder of her arms And if you've learned your lessons well There's little more for her to tell One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
