Let's Get The Mood Right Composer(s): Babyface Performer(s): Johnny Gill
You look sweet as ever Just how I picture you Swear that you're looking better And thats so hard to do Girl I hope you don't mind If I remininsce all the time When I was your guy and you were my girl There was nobody else in my world
Let's get the mood right Turn on your heart light Put on that old red dress Baby let's cruise Baby it's your night Blow out the candlelight We're going out tonight Just me and you
Guess there aint no denying You just get better with time You don't think I'm sincere Let me make it perfectly clear You still make me rise With those sweet bedroom eyes And how could I forget How much I love the sex And you're still the love of my life
When I think of our moments together It just touches my heart Don't you know it makes me wonder How we could have fallen apart Baby I swear from this moment on I will be there Keeping it going on For the rest of my life I'll be singing My my my my my my
We're gonna cruise yeah Baby let's cruise (Baby let's cruise) Let's just get in the mood (Just me and you) Baby let's cruise (I wanna cruise) Let's just get in the mood (Just me and you) Baby let's cruise (Baby let's cruise) Let's just get in the mood Baby let's cruise (Baby let's cruise) Let's just get in the mood (Baby let's cruise)
Broadway Rose Composer(s): Victor Arden; Eugene West; Martin Fried; Otis Spencer Performer(s): Original Dixieland Jazz Band and various other artists
A pretty flower grows along old Broadway A mid'st the throng, gay life and song I found her drooping there My heart went out to her I met on Broadway A faded little rose, beneath the white light's glare
I think about the rose I saw on Broadway Her listless face, her trembling gaze Beneath the starry sky, I'm praying for a little rose on Broadway Her sad and bitter tears, In mem'ry will be nigh
Broadway Rose, there's a tear in your eye Broadway Rose, seems I oft' hear you sigh though you wear fancy clothes and you show silken hose you're alone, as they all pass you by Broadway Rose, hide your cares in a smile for to you tears have gone out of style still at heart you're a gem though the whole world condemn no one knows of your woes, Broadway Rose
Let's Get Serious Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Lee Garrett) Performer(s): Jermaine Jackson
Close my eyes, and I see your face at night Toss and turn, fall to sleep holding my pillow tight All the time I think of you You're with me no matter what I do
Walk around with a smile upon my face In my mind you have taken up permanent space! Now my life is filled with nothing less Than your sweet love, care, and tenderness
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love
Call my name and I lose all self control! Touch my hand, and I feel it deep down in my soul I am feeling what I can't explain And if what you're feeling is the same
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
In your arms is the place I want to be With my love in you and your love inside of me Longing for each other just ain't fair When we've got so much we want to share
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
Just the thought of us together, we'd cement our love forever Let's get serious and fall in love! Once we start there'll be no quitting, with the love that we'll be getting Let's get serious and fall in love!
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
The night is young, but not quite too young for you and me Let's be one---be one!---going places that we want to see Let our bodies travel with our minds To a place where love will always shine!
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love Let's get serious, let's get serious Let's get serious and fall in love!
Both of us feel like a scalding, 'cause it's just too hot for holding! Let's get serious and fall in love! Girl, you've got my body moaning; just believe when I start calling! Let's get serious and fall in love! Serious, serious Let's get serious and fall in love! ...

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 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)
