Wonder Woman (Fox/Gimbel)

Wonder Woman!  Wonder Woman!

All the world is ready for you (we're all ready for you)
And the powers you possess
In your satin tights, fighting for your rights
And the old red, white and blue

Wonder Woman!  Wonder Woman!

Now the world is ready for you (we're all ready for you)
And the magic that you do
Make a hawk a dove, stop a war with love
Make a liar tell the truth

Wonder Woman!  Wonder Woman!
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman

All our hopes are pinned upon you (they're all pinned upon you)
And the magic that you do
Stop a bullet cold, make the axis fold
Change their minds and the change the world

Wonder Woman! (Linda Carter) Wonder Woman!
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman!
 

Love Me Tender (Presley/Watson)

Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go
You have made my life complete, and I love you so
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you, and I always will

Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong, and we'll never part
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you, and I always will

Love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years, 'til the end of time
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you, and I always will
 

Helmet (Madsen/Greene)

I can remember how it started
I followed the firemen, I dreamed of the astronauts
They looked so happy in their shiny metal headgear
I knew that inside they were smiling

My mother feared I was abnormal
I'd take out the colander and put it on my head
People are happy when they know that they're protected
Just let me tell you why I'm smiling

I've got my helmet on
Nothing can do me wrong
I've got my helmet on

In shining rows they sit in every beauty parlor
Down in the coal mines lighting the way
From distant battlefields to the tiniest motor scooter
There is peace on every single face

My friends all tell me I'm retreating
But how can they argue with true serenity?
If they would only try just once to wear a helmet
The world would soon be a better place

Come try my helmet on
Nothing will do you wrong
Come try my helmet on

In shining rows they sit in every beauty parlor
Serenity on every face

Come try my helmet on
Nothing will do you wrong
Come try my helmet on

Come try my helmet on
Nothing will do you wrong
Come try my helmet on

Come try my helmet on
Nothing will do you wrong
Come try my helmet on
 

This Island Earth (Cooper)

Calling all dreamers and optimistic fools
Don't let go of your dream, make it now, make it all come true
If you believe in a brighter day, I know we can find our way...

To this island, in the starry ocean, poetry in motion
This island earth
Spirit like a dancer, gravity is the answer, rendezvous in the blue
This island earth

We don't know what's in store today
We can spread our wings and we can soar away
Or we can go like the dinosaurs, they say
The choice is ours to make

It only seems like yesterday
We could wake up one day and be in history
Or stick around to unravel the mystery
Of how we came to be

On this island, in the starry ocean, poetry in motion
This island earth
A beautiful oasis of all the human races, the only home that we know
This island earth

Well I know we can touch the stars one day
Or kick up the dust on Mars one day
Or trip the light on the Milky Way
We've got to find our way

And if you're looking for a miracle, open your eyes
There was one this morning, just about sunrise
Dawn came breaking like a wave on the sea
And it's there for you and me

Calling all dreamers and optimistic fools
Don't let go of your dream, make it now, make it all come true
If you believe in a brighter day, I know we can find our way

To this island, in the starry ocean, poetry in motion
This island earth
Spirit like a dancer, gravity is the answer, rendezvous in the blue
This island earth

Oh, this island earth
We gotta find our way
Oh, this island earth
Oh, this island earth
 

Can't Buy Me Love (Lennon/McCartney)

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel all right
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel all right
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No, no, no

I'll give you all I've got to give if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give, but what I've got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love

Fa la la la la...

Say that you need no diamond rings and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
 

For The Longest Time (Joel)

Whoa oh oh oh, for the longest time
Whoa oh oh, for the longest...

If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do, I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me when you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Whoa oh oh oh, for the longest time
Whoa oh oh, for the longest...

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you and how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right, and I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself, 'hold on to your heart'
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad, I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Whoa oh oh oh, for the longest time
Whoa oh oh, for the longest time
Whoa oh oh, for the longest time
 

Zombie Jamboree (Mauge, Jr./Altman)

It was a zombie jamboree
Took place in the New York cemetery
Oh, it was a zombie jamboree
Took place in the New York cemetery

Zombies from all parts of the island
Some of them are great Calypsonians
Since the season was carnival
They got together in bacchanal

And they were singing:

Back to back, oh, belly to belly
I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Oh, back to back, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree

One female zombie, she wouldn't behave
See how's she's dancing out of the grave?
In one hand she's holding a quart of rum
The other hand is knocking a conga drum

You know the lead singer starts to make his rhyme
While the other zombie is rockin' in time
One bystander, he had this to say:
"It was a trip to see the zombies break away"
(SHAH!)

And they were singing:

Back to back, oh, belly to belly
I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Oh, back to back, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree

And they were singing:

Back to back, oh, belly to belly
I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Oh, back to back, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree

Back to back!
Everyone we sing back to back
And belly to belly then back to back
One two three four

Hey, what a zombie jamboree
From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty
Uptown, downtown, zombie jamboree
Whoa whoa whoa, yeah yeah

There's a high-wire zombie 'tween the World Trades
A King Kong zombie on the Empire State
But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome
The zombies who call the city home
(HAH!  WHAT THEY DO!  HUH!)

Back to back, oh, belly to belly
I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Oh, back to back, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree

Back to back, oh, belly to belly
I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Oh, back to back, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
Hey hey hey hey!
 

Scotland The Brave (Traditional)

Hark when the night is falling
Hear, hear the pipes are calling
Loudly and proudly calling
Down through the glen

Towering in gallant fame
Scotland my mountain hame
Long may your proud standards gloriously wave

Land of my high endeavour
Land of the shining river
Land of my heart forever
Scotland the brave
Scotland the brave
 

Shoehorn With Teeth (Linnell/Flansburgh)

He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
People should get beat up for statin' their beliefs
He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
'Cause he knows there's no such thing

He asks a girl if they can both sit in a chair
But he doesn't get nervous, she's not really there

He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
'Cause he knows there's no such thing

Tour the world in a heavy metal band
But they run out of gas, the plane can never land

He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
People should get beat up for statin' their beliefs
He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
'Cause he knows there's no such thing

What's the sense in ever thinkin' 'bout the tomb
When you're much too busy returning to the womb?

He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
People should get beat up for statin' their beliefs
He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
'Cause he knows there's no such thing
 

The Book Of Love (David/Malone/Patrick)

I wonder, wonder who
But who knew who
Who wrote the book of love?

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Oh who wrote the book of love?
Well, I've got to know the answer
Was it someone from above?

Oh, I wonder, wonder who
But who knew who
Who wrote the book of love?

Baby, baby, baby
I love you, yes I do
It says so in this book of love
That I'm the one that's true

Oh, I wonder, wonder who
But who knew who
Who wrote the book of love?

Chapter one says to love her
To love her with all your heart
Chapter two says you tell her
You're never never never never ever gonna part
In chapter three, remember
The meaning of romance
In chapter four you break up
But you give her just one more chance

Oh, I wonder, wonder who
But who knew who
Who wrote the book of love?

I love you darlin'
I love you, yes I do
But I've got to see this book of love
To find out why it's true

I wonder who
But who knew who
Who wrote the book of love?

Chapter one says to love her
To love her with all your heart
Chapter two says you tell her
You're never never never never ever gonna part
In chapter three, remember
The meaning of romance
In chapter four you break up
But you give her just one more chance

Oh, I wonder, wonder who
But who knew who
Who wrote the book of love?

I wonder who...
Who wrote the book of love?
 

Shenandoah (Traditional)

O Shenandoah, I long to see you
And hear your rolling river
O Shenandoah, I long to see you
'Way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

I long to see your smiling valley
And hear your rolling river
I long to see your smiling valley
'Way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

'Tis seven long years since last I see thee
And hear your rolling river
'Tis seven long years since last I see thee
'Way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri

When first I took a rambling notion
To leave your rolling river
To sail across the briny ocean
'Way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri
 

The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Campbell/Creatore/Ilene/Peretti/Stanton/Weiss)

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight

Near the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight

Hush my darling, don't fear my darling, the lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling, the lion sleeps tonight
 

Heavenly (Connick, Jr./McLean)

He's always happy
He never looks mean
Even if the sun should come in between

The man in the moon is smilin'
'Cause he's in love
The man in the moon is smilin'
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world

He's there in the evenin'
She never comes late
All day she spins around
But never makes him wait (no way!)

The girl in the world is smilin'
'Cause she's in love
The girl in the world is smilin'
'Cause she's in love with the man on the moon

When two heavenly bodies glow, all the stars agree
A planet might be born, maybe even a galaxy

And in the morning
No, they don't say goodbye
But with a kiss, they blend into the sky
Oh, they're smilin'
'Cause they're in love
The man in the moon is smilin'
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world

The man in the moon is smilin'...
'Cause...
He's in love...with the girl...in the world

Heavenly!
 

My Shoes (Madsen/Greene/Pritchard)

My shoes went out with a pair of red high heels last night
My girlfriend just won't understand it
She thinks that I'm the one to blame, but that's not right
My shoes are in control, they planned it

For years my shoes have been my friends
I've taken them around the world and to its ends
Now they're taking me...

My shoes are
On top of the world
My shoes are

My shoes are
On top of the world
My shoes are

My shoes have never done this kind of thing before
They would not go out in the rain
It was not me who tracked that mud across the floor
I don't know how I can explain

For years my shoes have been my friends
I've taken them around the world and to its ends
Now they're taking me...

My shoes are
On top of the world
My shoes are

My shoes are
On top of the world
My shoes are

My shoes are...
My shoes are...
My shoes are...
My shoes are...

My shoes could get up and go dancin' on their own
It's not impossible, you know
I never left the house, I was here all alone
I could tell you what was on the late night show

For years my shoes have been my friends
I've taken them around the world and to its ends
Now they're taking me...

My shoes are
On top of the world
My shoes are

(repeat)
 

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday (Perren/Yarian)

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh outweigh the bad
I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

I don't know where this road is going to lead
All I know is where we've been and what we've been through
If we get to see tomorrow I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
 

Li'l Red Riding Hood (Blackwell)

Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
It's li'l red riding hood!

Hey there li'l red riding hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want
(Listen to me!)

Li'l red riding hood
I don't think little big girls should
A-go walkin' in the spooky ol' woods alone

What big eyes you have
The kinda eyes that drive wolves mad
So just to see that you just don't get chased
I think you ought to walk with me for a ways

What full lips you have
They should allure someone bad
So until we get to Grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walkin' with you alone

Li'l red riding hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf, so I won't

What a big heart I have
The better to love you with
Li'l red riding hood
Even bad wolves can be good
I'll try to be satisfied
Just to walk close by your side
Maybe you'll see things my way
Before we get to Grandma's place

Hey there li'l red riding hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want

Listen to me...

BOW...

RUFF!!!
 

The University Of Redlands Alma Mater (Traditional)

Oh that dear old U of R
Thy children near and far
Will sing to thee and all they glories tell
Where the orange blossoms grow
And the waters gently flow
That dear old U of R we love so well

Oh that dear old U of R
Whose emblem shines afar
Eternal as the hills we love so well
Where the mountains tall and grand
Like an inspiration stand
That dear old U of R we love so well

Oh that dear old U of R
The years can never mar
The memories of thee we love so well
Where the friendships are so dear
That we leave them with a tear
That dear old U of R we love so well
 

And So It Goes (Joel)

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
 

The Eighties Medley

My goodness, do we really have to type all these out?
