A B C Boogie Composer(s): Al Russell - Max Spickel Performer(s): Bill Haley & His Comets
Down around the corner in a little school Children learn their lessons and the golden rule 'Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street And she does her teaching with a boogie beat Teaching the ABC with rhythm and E Every single morning, it's the same old thing All the kids are waiting for the bell to ring When they hear it ringing, they all jump in line Walking to the classroom, feeling mighty fine They learn their ABC with rhythm and E Well, a-reading, writing, arithmetic Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick No education is ever complete Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet When the day is over and it's time to go The children get their books and stand right at the door Teacher is so happy, because she's done her bit To educate the kids and make 'em really fit To say their ABC with rhythm and E

We Belong To The Night Composer(s): Ellen Foley Performer(s): Ellen Foley
The burning sun hangs over the city You and me baby, we don't feel nothing at all From nine to five we're lost This life ain't so pretty But when the sun goes down We know that we can stay and talk
I just can't wait For the night to come Cause when the shadows cover the light We're the only ones Cause baby, we We belong to the night Yes, baby, we We belong to the night By day we just survive But after dark, we come alive Cause baby, we We belong to the night
Dancing' on the street In the heat of the neon The quiet in the cool night air Makes it easy to breathe The music that we hear in our heats Gives us something to dream of Cause when that lonely soul that calls It's those dreams that we'll need To keep us strong To take us far Far away from the pain of the days Cause that's a cruel mental start
But baby, we We belong to the night Yes baby, we We belong to the night By day we just survive But after dark, we come alive Cause baby, we We belong to the night
Ahh ahh-ahh-ahh We belong to the night Yes, yes baby, we We belong to the night By day we just survive But after dark, we come alive Cause baby, we We belong to the night We belong to the night We belong to the night

We Are The World Composer(s): Michael Jackson; Lionel Richie Performer(s): Michael Jackson
There comes a time when we hear a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying and its time to lend a hand to life There greatest gift of all
We cant go on pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of Gods great big family And the truth, you know, Love is all we need
Chorus: We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving Theres a choice we're making We're saving out own lives its true we'll make a better day Just you and me
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stones to brend So we all must lend a helping hand
Chorus: We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving Theres a choice we're making We're saving out own lives its true we'll make a better day Just you and me
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe theres no way we can fall Let us realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one
Chorus: We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving out own lives its true we'll make a better day Just you and me
We Are The Champions Composer(s): Freddie Mercury Performer(s): Queen
I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face But I've come through
We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world
I've taken my bows And my curtain calls You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise I consider it a challenge before the whole human race And I ain't gonna lose
Won and won and won We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world
We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions
Abandoned Love Composer(s): Bob Dylan First release by: Bob Dylan - 1985 Covered by multiple other artists
I can hear the turning of the key I've been deceived by the clown inside of me I thought that he was righteous but he's vain Oh, something's a-telling me I wear the ball and chain
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost He's always off somewhere when I need him most The Spanish moon is rising on the hill But my heart is a-tellin' me I love ya still
I come back to the town from the flaming moon I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon I love to see you dress before the mirror Won't you let me in your room one time 'fore I finally disappear?
Everybody's wearing a disguise To hide what they've got left behind their eyes But me, I can't cover what I am Wherever the children go I'll follow them
I march in the parade of liberty But as long as I love you I'm not free How long must I suffer such abuse Won't you let me see you smile one time before I turn you loose?
I've given up the game, I've got to leave The pot of gold is only make-believe The treasure can't be found by men who search Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list My head tells me it's time to make a change But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange
One more time at midnight, near the wall Take off your heavy make-up and your shawl Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit? Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it
We Are In Love Composer(s): Chris Andrews Performer(s): Adam Faith
Just the way she smiles and says hello I can't help but let my feelings show I'll hold her hand and tell her things I know she wants to know (La, da, da) I will never make her blue (La, da, da) I will never be untrue We are in love, and we'll keep it this way
Never been so much in love before Now I am, I want it more and more And that Shavian love I know we'll have for ever more
(La, da, da) I will never make her blue (La, da, da) I will never be untrue We are in love, and we'll keep it this way
Love, love, love, has made all my dreams come true Love, love, love, it's strange what you can do I'm in heaven when she kisses me I hear angels singing happily And with this love of mine I'm as happy as I'll ever be
(La, da, da) I will never make her blue (La, da, da) I will never be untrue We are in love, and we'll keep it this way We are in love, and we'll keep it this way
Abacab Composer(s): Tony Banks - Phil Collins - Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Genesis; Charles Sheinman
Look up on the wall, there on the floor Under the pillow, behind the door There's a crack in the mirror Somewhere there's a hole in a window-pane Do you think I'm to blame? Tell me do you think I'm to blame?
When they do it you're never there When they show it you stop and stare Abacab he's in anywhere Abacab
If you're wrapping up the world 'Cos you've taken someone else's girl When they turn on the pillow Even when they answer the telephone Don't you think that by now Tell me, don't you think that by now
When they do it you're never there When they show it you stop and stare Abacab He's in anywhere Abacab Doesn't really care
You want it, you got it, you gotta go You want it, you got it, now you know
It's an illusion, it's a game Or reflection of someone else's name When you wake in the morning Wake and find you're covered in cellophane
Well, there's a hole in there somewhere Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere Now there's a hole in there somewhere
When they do it you're never there When they show it you stop and stare Abacab he's in anywhere Abacab
We Are Family Composer(s): Bernard Edwards; Nile Rodgers Performer(s): Sister Sledge
(Chorus:) We are family I got all my sisters with me We are family Get up ev'rybody and sing
Ev'ryone can see we're together As we walk on by (Fly!) and we fly just like birds of a feather I won't tell no lie (All!) all of the people around us they say Can they be that close Just let me state for the record We're giving love in a family dose
(Chorus x2)
Living life is fun and we've just begun To get our share of the world's delights (High!) high hopes we have for the future And our goal's in sight (We!) no we don't get depressed Here's what we call our golden rule Have faith in you and the things you do You won't go wrong This is our family Jewel

Way down in the Congoland Lived a happy chimpanzee She loved a monkey with a long tail (Lordy, how she loved him!) Each night he would find her there Swinging in the cocoanut tree And the monkey gay, at the break of day Loved to hear his Chimpie say...
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" Said the Chimpie to the Monk "Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" Said the Monkey to the Chimp All night long they'd chatter away All day long they were happy and gay Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" Means "Monk, I love but you" "Baba, daba, dab" in monkey talk Means "Chimp, I love you, too" Then the big baboon one night in June He married them and very soon They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" Said the Chimpie to the Monk "Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" Said the Monkey to the Chimp All night long they'd chatter away All day long they were happy and gay Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" Means "Monk, I love but you" "Baba, daba, dab" in monkey talk Means "Chimp, I love you, too" One night they were made man and wife And now they cry, "This is the life Since they came from their aba daba honeymoon
Well, you should have heard that band Play upon their wedding day Each Chimp and Monkey had nutshells (Lordy, how they played them) And now it is every night High up in the cocoanut tree It's the same old thing, with the same old swing, When the Monk and Chimpie sing...
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" Said the Chimpie to the Monk "Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" Said the Monkey to the Chimp All night long they'd chatter away All day long they were happy and gay Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way

We Are Detective Composer(s): Tom Bailey; Alannah Currie; Joe Leeway Performer(s): Thompson Twins
Somebody's watching me and now I'm nervous and I shouldn't be Somebody's got their eye on me perhaps i should invite him up for tea? We saw him smoking by the newspaper stand there's something odd about his gloved left hand Saw him again inside the old cafe he makes us tense we wish he'd go away
(chorus) We are detective we are select We are detective come to collect Somebody's after me he left his footprints by the garden tree Last night when I got home I got the feeling I was not alone! Someone is on our tail we think they're opening up our morning mail And now each time the telephone rings we think of frightening things
(repeat chorus)
We dress up in disguise to get away from all those prying eyes Our friends all think we're mad but we know better cos the spy is bad
