Born Free Matt Monro
Born free, as free as the wind blows

As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart
Live free and beauty surrounds you

The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star
Stay free, where no walls divide you

You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living

But only worth living
'cause you're born free
(Stay free, where no walls divide you)

You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living

But only worth living
'cause you're born free
Don't Worry, Be Happy Bobby McFerrin
Here's a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy now
Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy

Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no place to lay your head

Somebody came and took your bed
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy, Don't worry, be happy

Don't worry, be happy, Don't worry, be happy
Pete Seeger English Is Cuh-Ray-Zee
English is the most widely spoken language in the history of the planet.
One out of every seven human beings can speak or read it.
Half the world's books, 3/4 of the international mail are in English.
It has the largest vocabulary, perhaps two million words,
And a noble body of literature. But face it:
English is cuh-ray-zee!
Just a few examples: There's no egg in eggplant, no pine or apple in pineapple.

Quicksand works slowly; boxing rings are square.
A writer writes, but do fingers fing?
Hammers don't ham, grocers don't groce. Haberdashers don't haberdash.
If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?

It's one goose, two geese. Why not one moose, two meese?
If it's one index, two indices; why not one Kleenex,two Kleenices?
You can comb through the annals of history, but not just one annal.
You can make amends, but not just one amend.
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one, is it an odd or an end?
If the teacher taught, why isn't it true that a preacher praught?
If you wrote a letter, did you also bote your tongue?
And if a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Why is it that night falls but never breaks and day breaks but never falls?
In what other language do people drive on the parkway and park on the driveway?
Ship by truck but send cargo by ship? Recite at a play but play at a recital?
Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same

When a wise man and a wise guy are very different?
To overlook something and to oversee something are very different,
But quite a lot and quite a few are the same.
How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
You have to marvel at the lunacy of a language in which your house can burn down
While it is burning up. You fill out a form by filling it in.
In which your alarm clock goes off by going on.
If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress?
Well, English was invented by people, not computers

And reflects the creativity of the human race.
So that's why when the stars are out, they're visible,
But when the lights are out, they're invisible.
When I wind up my watch I start it, but when I wind up this rap,
I end it. English is cuh-ray-zee!
Every Breath You Take The Police
Every breath you take

Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day

Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Oh can't you see

You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make

Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace

I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I keep crying baby please
Every move you make

Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
The Great Pretender The Platters
Oh yes I'm the great pretender

Pretending I'm doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make believe

Too real when I feel what my heart
can't conceal
Ooh Ooh yes I'm the great pretender

Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Yeah ooh hoo

Too real when I feel what my heart
can't conceal

Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around

You And For Me...
I Just Called To Say I Love You Stevie Wonder
No New Year's day to celebrate

No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

I just called to say how much I care

I just called to say how much I care, I do
Of my heart,
...... of my heart
Killing Me Softly Roberta Flack
I heard he sang a good song

I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
CHORUS:
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
I felt all flushed with fever

Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
CHORUS
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
But he was there this stranger
Singing clear and strong
CHORUS
Lean On Me Bill Withers
Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.

But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody
to lean on.
Please swallow your pride, if have things you need to borrow.
For no one can fill those needs that you won't let show.
You just call on me brother when you need a hand.

We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
Lean on me when you't not strong, and I'll be your friend.

I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna' need
somebody to lean on.
You just call on me brother if you need a friend.

I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry.

I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me.
Call me (if you need a friend)

Call me
