Let's Get Rocked Composer(s): Joe Elliott - Phil Collen - Rick Savage - Robert John "Mutt" Lange Performer(s): Def Leppard
Do you wanna get rocked? Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
I'm your average ordinary everyday kid Happy to do nothin', in fact that's what I did I got a million ways to make my day But daddy don't agree 'Cause when I try to get away He says he got plans for me "Get your butt right out of bed" Stop buggin' me "Get up and move your sleepy head" Don't shake my tree He said "Mow the lawn" - who me? "Walk the dog" - not my style, man "Take out the trash" - no way "Tidy your room" - c'mon get real Sorry dad, gotta disappear Let's get the rock out of here
Seven day weekend, up all night In at the deep end, hang on tight It won't take a minute, it won't take long So get on in it, come on, come on, come on
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked Let's go all the way Get it night'n'day Come on, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
I'm your average ordinary everyday dude Drivin' with my baby to get her in the mood She's dialin' through my radio And I'm ready to make my move But what she got ain't rock'n'roll And it really blew my groove It was Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven It makes me wanna scream Bach, Tschaikovsky, violins Turn it off, that ain't my scene Well I'm sorry girl here's my confession I suppose a rock's out of the question
Seven day weekend, up all night In at the deep end, hang on tight It won't take a minute, it won't take long So get on in it, come on, come on, come on
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked Let's go all the way Get it night'n'day Come on, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
All I wanna do is take a ride into the blue Every time I want to love you I get stuck inside my room Heaven knows I'm sick 'n' tired of dancin' with this broom
I feel lucky today Hey look at that, man Do you wanna get rocked? Do you wanna get rocked?
It won't take you a minute It won't take that long So get on, get with it Oh, come on everybody
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked Get on top baby Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked Do you wanna, do you wanna? Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked Get on top of it Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked Love to rock your body baby Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's go all the way Let's do it night'n'day Let's get out and play Rock the night away Come on, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked Do you wanna get rocked?

Let's Keep It That Way Composer(s): Rafe Van Hoy - Curly Putman First release by: Tanya Tucker - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
There's no need to lie Without me half trying, I could love you It shows in your eyes That you feel the same way I do But wherever I go, my conscience goes What more can I say It's only desire, not yet a fire Let's keep it that way
'Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie When I get back home 'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world If I did him wrong And lying to him would hurt me more Than leaving you this way So before we forget, we're not cheaters yet Let's keep it that way
Let's finish this wine 'Cause I'm not thinking too clearly tonight And the touch of your hand Makes it so hard for me to tell wrong from right He waits at home and he's there alone And though I'd like to stay Before I give in Let's call it just friends And keep it that way
Let's Get Lost Composer(s): Frank Loesser - Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Vaughn Monroe and multiple other artists
Let's get lost, lost in each other's arms Let's get lost, let them send out alarms And though they'll think us rather rude Let's tell the world we're in that crazy mood Let's defrost in a romantic mist Let's get crossed off everybody's list To celebrate this night we found each other, mmm, let's get lost
Let's defrost in a romantic mist Let's get crossed off everybody's list To celebrate this night we found each other, mm, let's get lost oh oh, let's get lost
Broadway Melody
Composer(s): Arthur Freed - Nacio Herb Brown
Performer(s): Charles King
and multiple other artists
There may be streets that have their sorrow A smile today a tear tomorrow But there's a street that lives in glory It always tells the same old story
Don't bring a frown to old Broadway You've got to clown on Broadway Your troubles there are out of style 'Cause Broadway always wears a smile A million lights they flicker there A million hearts beat quicker there No skies of grey on the Great White Way That's the Broadway Melody
Lets Keep It That Way Composer(s): Desmond O'Connor - J. Denby-Watson Performer(s): Lou Praeger & His Orch.; Paul Rich
Lets build the world they dreamed of Lets keep it that way
We stood together Through stormy weather And every heart was torn The guns were flashing The world was crashing But out of the darkness a new world was born
The city lights are shining The children laugh and play The countryside is peaceful Lets keep it that way
Inside a million windows They put a sign to say A welcome home to someone Lets keep it that way
No more must mothers sigh Nor sweethearts walk alone Lets put their happiness Above the things we own
Some gave so much remember How can we best repay Lets build the world they dreamed of Lets keep it that way
Some gave so much remember How can we best repay Lets build the world they dreamed of Lets keep it that way

Broadway Hotel Composer(s): Al Stewart Performer(s): Al Stewart
You told the man in the Broadway Hotel Nothing was stranger than being yourself And he replied, with a tear in his eye Love was a rollaway Just a cajole away Mist on a summer's day Nothing was clear Love was a smile away Just a defile away I sought it every way No-one came near
You asked the man for a room with a view Nothing was said as he stared at his shoe Then he replied as he gave you the key Love was a rollaway Just an unfold away That's all there is to say No-one came near
Alone in your room you hide As the night rolls by In the street outside And you feel over the words he said Till they turn to rain all around your head
You're seeking a hideaway Where the light of day Doesn't touch your face And a door-sign keeps the world away Behind the shades Of your silent day
You made your home in the Broadway Hotel Room service came at the push of a bell And the man said as he put down the tray Love was a stealaway Just a reveal away I tried to find a way Nothing was clear Then as he turned away You asked the man to stay He was there all the day No-one came near

I'm just a Broadway Baby Walking off my tired feet Pounding Forty Second Street To be in a show Broadway Baby Learning how to sing and dance Waiting for that one big chance To be in a show
Gee, I'd like to be on some marquee All twinkling lights A spark to pierce the dark From Batt'ry Park to Washington Heights Some day maybe All my dreams will be repaid
I can get to strut my stuff Working for a nice man Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman In a big-time Broadway show! Heck, I'd even play the maid To be in a show
Say, Mister producer Some girls get the breaks Just give me my cue, sir I've got what it takes Say, Mister Producer I'm talkin' to you, sir I don't need a lot Only what I got Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot!
I'm a Broadway Baby Slaving at the five and ten Dreaming of the great day When I'll be in a show Broadway Baby Making rounds all afternoon Eating at a greasy spoon To save on my dough
At my tiny flat there's just my cat A bed and a chair Still I'll stick it till I'm on a bill all over Times Square Some day maybe If I stick it long enough
I can get to strut my stuff Work-ing for a nice man Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman In a big-time Broadway show! Heck, I'd even play the maid To be in a show
Say, Mister producer Some girls get the breaks Just give me my cue, sir I've got what it takes Say, Mister Producer I'm talkin' to you, sir I don't need a lot Only what I got Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot!
Barbara ((Adapted from: Babacar (by France Gall) - 1987)) Composer(s): Michel Berger - Jo De Clercq Performer(s): Willy Sommers - 1993
Je staat op de eerste rij Een vriendinnetje erbij Altijd giechelen met twee
Je lacht uitdagend lang naar mij Werkt je make-up nog wat bij 'k Schat je vijftien ongeveer
Meer dan leuk om te zien Morgen huil je misschien En dan ben ik je kwijt, voor altijd
Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Ik heb je Barbara genoemd Je gaf me bloemen en een zoen 'k Zou die zo graag overdoen, oooh oooh Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je)
Er zijn er zoveel zoals jij Jonge meisjes vrank en vrij Maar vanbinnen zo fragiel
Blote schouders, slanke nek Je maakt de mannen stapelgek Spelen met je sex-appeal
Maar de dag zal nog komen Je ontwaakt uit je dromen Want een meisje wordt zo gauw een vrouw
Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Ik heb je Barbara genoemd Je gaf me bloemen en een zoen 'k Zou die zo graag overdoen, oooh oooh Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je)
Wie ben je, wie ben je Wie ben je, wie ben je
Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je) Barbara (wie ben je, wie ben je)

Brivido Felino Composer(s): Paolo Audino; Stefano Cenci Performer(s): Mina & Adriano Celentano
Ormai avevo pensato ho voglia solo io di te invece sento il profumo che hai messo su stasera per me
Provo a fare finta che ti resisto un po' ma in fondo poi perché qui è già calda l'atmosfera sto con te stasera ci sto
Con un brivido felino sento che mi vuoi la luce del camino spande su di noi hai la voce che ti frema stringi le mie mani mi chiami, mi chiami piano lo so ora che anche tu mi vuoi
Adesso mentre mi baci capisco che mi piaci perché (quel mistero dentro te) è affascinante davvero sei quella che speravo per me
Provo a fare finta che ti resisto ma il gioco mi delude e già calda l'atmosfera da te vorrei stasera di più
Con un brivido felino sento che mi vuoi il fuoco del camino brucia insieme a noi hai la voce che ti frema stringi le mie mani mi ami, mi ami
Con un brivido felino ora che ti dai ti sento travolgente vero come sei ho l'impulso di fermarti ma tanto non potrei se ti muovi, ti muovi, come tu sai e ti sento che mi vuoi

Brivido Caldo Composer(s): Piero Cassano; G. Golzi Performer(s): Matia Bazar
Attraversata da un brivido caldo per sogni folli più grandi di me vivendo mille emozioni in contrasto riparto da te
Tra mille note di vita raccolte e gli orizzonti che non vedo più confusamente tra immagini stanche riaffiori anche tu
Sai ti penso tanto lo sai ti sento tanto... e di più ti ho aspettato tanto sai ti penso tanto
Viaggia la mente nei ricordi miei viaggia avvolta nella nostalgia di te resta la dolce tenerezza che lascia il tempo che si ferma in te
Occhi per orizzonti nei tramonti che vorrei mani che stringono su cuori stanchi e fragili tempo che non invecchia una fotografia da allora resta il vuoto dentro
In quelle nebbie disperse dal vento tra labirinti di cristalli blu appare il viso di chi se ne è andato e non torna più
Sai ti penso tanto lo sai ti sento tanto...
Viaggia la mente nei ricordi miei viaggia, viaggia avvolta nella nostalgia di te come la luce di un diamante pazzo che resta per sempre, per sempre dentro agli occhi negli orizzonti e nei tramonti che vorrei tempo che non invecchia una fotografia da sempre storie... di gente uguale a noi...
