DJ put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby
Do you like to
Boogie woogie, do you like to Boogie woogie,
do you like to Boogie woogie, do you like my dancing
Hey Mr. DJ put a record on I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop, it's gonna drive me crazy
Music, music
Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel
Don't think of yesterday and I don't look at the clock
I like to boogie woogie
It's like ridin' on the wind and it never goes away
But she's everything I'm in got to have it everyday
Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel
Hey Mr. DJ
Do you like to
Boogie woogie, do you like to
Boogie woogie, do you like to
Boogie woogie, do you like my dancing
Hey Mr. DJ put a record on I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop, it's gonna drive me crazy
Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel
Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Universe is full of stars
Nothing out there looks the same
You're the one that I've been waiting for
I don't even know your name
I'm in a trance
I'm in a trance
Cosmic systems intertwine
Astral bodies drip like wine
All of nature ebbs and flows
Comets shoot across the sky
Can't explain the reasons why
This is how creation goes
I don't want nobody else
All the others look the same
Galaxies are sliding into view
I don't even know your name
I'm in a trance
And the word is spinning
Spinning baby out of control
I'm in a trance
I let the music take me
Take me where my heart wants to go
Kiss me
Kiss me
I like to singy singy singy
Like a bird on a wingy wingy wingy
I like to rhumba rhumba rhumba
Dance to a samba samba samba
I'm in a trance
And the world is spinning
Spinning baby out of control
I'm in a trance
I let the music take
Take me where my heart wants to go

You lost your reputation on a woman
You didn't understand or care to know
You get your education from your lovers
But now there's just no place for you to go
It doesn't pay
To be a runaway lover
It doesn't pay
To give away what you lack
You'll never get your money back
You're set adrift with no direction
Just like a ship that's lost at sea
You don't care where you drop your anchor
Make sure it doesn't land on me
It doesn't pay
To be a runaway lover
It doesn't pay
To give away what you lack
You'll never get your money back
Walking around on a cloud
Cause every girl you meet just trips on you
Saying your name out loud
I guess you met your match
Now what will you do
It doesn't pay
To be a runaway lover
It doesn't pay
To give away what you lack
You'll never get your money back
. . .

This guy was meant for me
And I was meant for him
This guy was dreamt for me
And I was dreamt for him
This guy has danced for me
And I have danced for him
This guy has cried for me
And I have cried for him
Many miles many roads I have traveled
Fallen down on the way
Many hearts many years have unraveled
Leading up to today
This guy has prayed for me
And I have prayed for him
This guy was made for me
And I was made for him
Many miles many roads I have traveled
Fallen down on the way
Many hearts many years have unraveled
Leading up to today
I have no regrets
There's nothing to forget
All the pain
Was worth it
Not running from the past
I tried to do what's best
I know that I deserve it
Many miles many roads I have traveled
Fallen down on the way
Many hearts many years have unraveled
Leading up to today

You took a pretty picture
And you smashed it into bits
Sank me into blackness
And you sealed it with a kiss
If only I could let you go
Why do I need you so
It's amazing what a boy can do
I cannot stop myself
Wish I didn't want you like I do
Want you and no one else
You took a poison arrow
And you aimed it at my heart
It's heavy and it's bitter
And it's tearing me apart
If only I could set you free
You worked your way inside of me
It's amazing what a boy can do
I cannot stop myself
Wish I didn't want you like I do
Want you and no one else
It's amazing what a boy can say
I cannot stop myself
Seems I love you more than yesterday
Love you and no one else
Oh, it's amazing
It's amazing what a boy can do
I cannot stop myself
Wish I didn't want you like I do
Want you and no one else
It's amazing what a boy can say
I cannot stop myself
Seems I love you more than yesterday
Love you and no one else
It's amazing
Oh, it's amazing
I cannot stop myself
Wish I didn't
Love you and no one else

Cool I am
When I am with you
Cool I'm not
When I am lonely
I feel so sad
What I did wasn't right
I feel so bad
And I must say to you
Sorry, but
Nobody's perfect
Nobody's perfect
What did you expect
I'm doing my best
I feel so sad
But you know I'll be true
I feel so bad
And I must say to you
Sorry, but
Nobody's perfect
Nobody's perfect
What did you expect
I'm doing my best
Nobody's perfect
Nobody's perfect
I was dishonest
I will do my best
Yeah
Cool I am
When I am with you
Cool I'm not
When I am lonely
Nobody's perfect
Nobody's perfect
What did you expect
I'm doing my best
Nobody's perfect
Nobody's perfect
I was dishonest
I will do my best
Yeah
Mmm, mmm, yeah
Mmm, mmm, yeah
Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect

Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
'Cause you said so, mmm
Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time, no, no
Let it fall by the way
But don't leave me where I lay down
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
[first time:] But please don't tell me to stop
[all other times:] But don't ever tell me to stop
Tell the leaves not to turn
But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no
Take the black off a crow
But don't tell me I have to go
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
[first time:] But please don't tell me to stop
[all other times:] But don't ever tell me to stop
[chorus, prefixing 1st and 3rd lines with "Don't you ever"]
(Don't you ever)
Please don't
Please don't
Please don't tell me to stop
(Don't you ever)
Don't you ever
Don't ever tell me to stop
(Tell the rain not to drop)
Tell the bed not to lay
Like a open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees

[Spoken:]
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl
Silky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy, baby
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches
Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl
Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting
Hurt that's not supposed to show
And tears that fall when no one knows
When you're trying hard to be your best
Could you be a little less
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
What it feels like for a girl
Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl
In this world
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
What it feels like in this world

I can't remember
When I was young
I can't explain
If it was wrong
My life goes on
But not the same
Into your eyes
My face remains
(I've been so high)
I've been so down
(Up to the skies)
Down to the ground
I was so blind
I could not see
Your paradise
Is not for me
Autour de moi
Je ne vois pas
Qui sont des anges
Surement pas moi
Encore une fois
Je suis cassee
Encore une fois
Je n'y crois pas
All around me
I could not see
Who are the angels
Surely not me
Once more again
I am broken
Once more again
I don't believe it
[Chorus:]
I've been so high
I've been so down
Up to the skies
Down to the ground
There is a light
Above my head
Into your eyes
My face remains
[chorus]
I can't remember
When I was young
Into your eyes
My face remains
Into your eyes
My face remains
[chorus, repeat]

Selling out
Is not my thing
Walk away
I won't be broken again
I'm not
I'm not what you think
Dream away your life
Someone else's dream
Nothing equals nothing
Letting go
Is not my thing
Walk away
Won't let it happen again
I'm not
I'm not very smart
Why should I feel sad
For what I never had
Nothing equals nothing
Turn to stone
Lose my faith
I'll be gone
Before it happens
Turn to stone
Lose my faith
I'll be gone
Before it happens
Selling out
Is not my thing
Walk away
I won't be broken again
I won't
I won't fall apart
Dream away your life
Dream away your dream
Nothing equals nothing
Turn to stone
Lose my faith
I'll be gone
Before it happens
Turn to stone (turn to stone)
Lose my faith (lose my faith)
I'll be gone
Before it happens
Turn to stone (turn to stone)
Lose my faith (lose my faith)
I'll be gone

(Music & Lyrics by Don McLean)
[Intro]
A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'
[Chorus]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
Then I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
Well now in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most ЁC
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost ЁC
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
We started singing
- [Chorus] (2x) -
We started singing
We started singing
. . .

May all be well with mankind
May the leaders of the earth in every way
Protect the earth by keeping to the right path
May there always be goodness
For those who know the earth to be sacred
May all the world be happy
Whatever I do
Whether my body, mind, sense, organs, intellect, self
Or out of natural inclination
I make it all an offering to
The all-pervading supreme being
. . .
