Magic Town Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): The Vogues
They told me the streets were all paved with gold But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold They said neon lights were a beautiful sight But how 'bout the one blinking in my room all night
And where's the magic in this magic town? Where's the good life they said could be found? Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you
They said in this town you get rich in no time But here I am and I'm down to my last dime I just don't know why I bother to try When nobody here gives a hang if I live or die
And where's the magic in this magic town? Where's the good life they said could be found? Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you
And where's the magic in this magic town? Where's the good life they said could be found? Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true I gotta find it, girl, if it can be found
Little Bit Of Heaven Composer(s): Mark Spiro Performer(s): Pia Zadora
I used to wonder how everybody other than me found someone to love They must have been given a stroke of a little bit of luck But deep in my heart was a place and a part That only the right one could fill Well my prayers must have all gone through
'Cause somebody up there sent me you
And now I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling like an angel 'Cause now I've fouild my little bit of heaven I'm feeling more than able To give you all the secrets nobody ever knew
And put the past behind me
forget about what I have been through
'Cause now I've found my little bit of heaven in you
Now every day just shows another way How a little bit of love can grow the ups and downs
Through the sunshine and ram And the highs and the lows But I'll just keep believing in the love I've been feeling
And take it one day at a time
'Cause my prayers have all come true
And somebody up there sent me you And now I've found my little bit of heaven ... And now I've found my little bit of heaven ...
Now that I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling like an angel Now that I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling more than able Now that I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling like an angel Now that I've found my little bit of heaven I'm feeling more than able
My friends all said I'd never learn to dance In fact, they said I didn't stand a chance The dancin' contest, time to show them moves Then I found these magic shoes
Oh...shocked the crowd when sparks flew from my feet As I started groovin' with the beat Oh, people better watch your Ps & Qs `Cause I've got magic shoes
Oh...I feel it's now my turn to love Their winning chance is less than half The judges votes have all been cast I come out first instead of last
People are amazed at my control The secrets hidden underneath my soul Oh, I've no longer got wallflower blues `Cause I've got magic shoes
Oh...
Ah...ah...ah...ah...
People are amazed at my control The secrets hidden underneath my soul Oh, I've no longer got wallflower blues `Cause I've got magic shoes Magic shoes
Little Bird, Little Bird Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh
Anselmo, Pedro: (two Muleteers) Little bird, little bird In the cinnamon tree Little bird, little bird Do you sing for me? Do you bring me word Of one I know? Little bird, little bird I love her so Little bird, little bird I have to know Little bird, little bird Beneath this tree This cinnamon tree We learned to love We learned to cry For here we met And here we kissed And here one cold and moonless night We said goodbye
Anselmo: Little bird, little bird Oh have pity on me Bring her back to me now 'Neath the cinnamon tree I have waited too long Without a song Little bird, little bird Please fly, please go little bird, little bird And tell her so Little bird, little bird
Magic Power Composer(s): Rik Emmett; Michael Levine; Gil Moore Performer(s): Triumph; Hugo
Something's at the edge of your mind, you don't know what it is Somethin' you were hopin' to find but your not sure what it is Then you hear the music and it all comes crystal clear The music does the talkin' says the things you want to hear
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free I got the magic power of the music in me I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free I got the magic power of the music in me
She climbs into bed, pull the covers overhead and turns her little radio on She's had a rotten day so she hopes the DJ's gonna play her favorite song It makes her feel much better, brings her closer to her dreams A little magic power makes it better that it seems
She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free She gets the magic power of the music in me
If you're thinkin' it over but you just can't sort it out Do you want someone to tell you what they think it's all about Are you the one and only who's sad and lonely, reachin' for the top Well the music keeps you goin' and it's never gonna stop Never gonna stop Never gonna, never gonna, never gonna stop
The world is full of compromise, and infinite red tape But the music's got the magic, it's your one chance for escape So turn me on - turn me up - it's your turn to dream A little magic power makes it better than it seems
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free I got the magic power of the music in me I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free I got the magic power of the music in me

Magic Moments Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach Originally performed by: Perry Como Covered by various other artists
Magic moments, when two hearts are carin' Magic moments, mem'ries we've been sharing
I'll never forget the moment we kissed the night of the hay ride The way that we hugged to try to keep warm while takin' a sleigh ride
Chorus Magic moments, mem'ries we've been sharin' Magic moments, when two hearts are carin' Time can't erase the memory of These magic moments filled with love
The telephone call that tied up the line for hours and hours The Saturday dance I got up the nerve to send you some flowers
Chorus
(The way that we cheered whenever our team was scoring a touchdown) The time that the floor fell out of my car when I put the clutch down (The penny arcade, the games that we played, the fun and the prizes) The Halloween hop when everyone came in funny disguises
Little Arrows Composer(s): Albert Hammond - Lee Hazlewood Performer(s): Leapy Lee
There's a boy--a little boy--shooting arrows in the blue And he's aiming them at someone but the question is at who Is it me or is it you? It's hard to tell until you're hit But you'll know it when they hit you cause they hurt a little bit
Here they come falling out of the blue--little arrows for me and for you You're falling in love again, falling in love again Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair when you 're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere Little arrows that will hit you once, and hit you once again Little arrows that hit everybody every now and then
Whoa-oh-oh the pain
Some folks run and others hide, but there is nothing they can do And some folks put on armor, but the arrows go straight through So you see, there's no escape, so why not face it and admit That you love those little arrows when they hurt a little bit
Here they come falling out of the blue--little arrows for me and for you You're falling in love again, falling in love again Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair when you're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere Little arrows that will hit you once and hit you once again Little arrows that hit everybody every now and then

Hey, we heard the news that someone`s crying the blues `Cause words still go unsaid as hungry minds are never fed Take a chance as you dance in romance In a trance to advance and expand Got a dime and a rhyme brilliant mind Still inclined in your prime to design For man`s great strength to meet another trembling heart`s defeat Is read between the lines when change of mind is hard to find The blossoms that you reap from binding challenges complete And wisdom`s gentle rain imensely crowns your brain Take a chance as you dance in romance In a trance to advance and expand Moving soon upper room Paid your dues `cause you`re through feelin` blue Take a chance as you dance in romance In a trance to advance and expand Got a dime and a rhyme brilliant mind Still inclined in your prime to design Moving soon upper room Paid your dues `cause you`re through feelin` blue
Litet Solskensbarn ((Adapted from: Little Altar Boy (by Vic Dana) - 1961)) Composer(s): Howlett Smith - K.G. Lundqvist Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog - 1970
Litet solskensbarn, en skugga faller över dig Litet solskensbarn, de stora frågar ej Frågar dig ej om råd eller vad som sker Litet solskensbarn, vår värld är inget för dig
Litet solskensbarn, som bygger slott av sand och sten Litet solskensbarn, din dag har blivit sen Sanden har trampats ner, skratt, det hörs ej mer Litet solskensbarn, är det ej fel det som sker
Högt i det blå, där lyser solen klar Kanske ändå att hoppet ännu finns kvar För kärleken att nå, överallt Kanske ändå vi en gång lär oss förstå
Litet solskensbarn, en sorgsen blick som följer mig Litet solskensbarn, vem frågar efter dig Världen är hård och kall, ingen glädje mer Litet solskensbarn, nog är det fel det som sker Nog är det fel det som sker
Magic Man Composer(s): Ann Wilson; Nancy Wilson Performer(s): Heart
Cold late night so long ago When I was not so strong you know A pretty man came to me Never seen eyes so blue I could not run away It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream It seemed like he knew me He looked right through me "Come on home, girl" he said with a smile "You don't have to love me yet Let's get high awhile But try to understand Try to understand Try try try to understand I'm a magic man"
Winter nights we sang in tune Played inside the months of moon Never think of never Let this spell last forever Summer over passed to fall Tried to realize it all Mama says she's worried Growing up in a hurry
"Come on home, girl" mama cried on the phone "Too soon to lose my baby yet my girl should be at home!" "But try to understand, try to understand Try try try to understand He's a magic man, mama He's a magic man"
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile "I cast my spell of love on you a woman from a child! But try to understand, try to understand I'm a magic man!"

It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didnt think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didnt think I could ever do it Until I did it
If it were yesterday Or any other day I would have run away Playing dumb I would have stayed away If it were afternoon Or night or day I would have run away And put things off And stayed away Until another day, because
It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didnt think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didnt think I could ever do it Until I did it

It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didnt think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didnt think I could ever do it Until I did it
Face the chair Firing squad Without the heat To bring you fear Youll never know What you can do
Keep it going (repeat)
So theres a way out of that corner youve painted yourself into And maybe youre just gonna have to dig that ditch a little bit deeper before you can get out of it Well do you just gotta stand up I mean if you sit down all your life what are you gonna do? I mean youre just gonna have to climb up right over yourself and get out of there I mean that mess youre in, youre just gonna have to get out of it Youre gonna have to decide you gonna do it Youre gonna have to decide you wanna do it, and then youre just gonna do it
So okay, all right, okay, okay, oh
It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didnt think I could ever do it Until I did it It was my last attempt It was my last defense I didnt think I could ever do it Until I did it ...
