"Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"


Out from his coffin,


Drac's voice did ring


Seems he was troubled by just one thing


He opened the lid and shook his fist


And said,


"Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"


-"the Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett

Why, oh why can't I?



Somewhere over the rainbow


Bluebirds fly.


Birds fly over the rainbow.


Why then, oh why can't I?


If happy little bluebirds fly


Beyond the rainbow


Why, oh why can't I?
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Judy Garland

When will I be loved?


I've been made blue


I've been lied to


When will I be loved?

did she mention my name?


It's so nice to meet an old friend


and pass the time of day


And talk about the home town


a million miles away


Is the ice still in the river,


are the old folks still the same?


And by the way,


did she mention my name?
"Did She Mention My Name" Gordon Lightfoot

WILL there really be a morning?



WILL there really be a morning?

Is there such a thing as day?

Could I see it from the mountains

If I were as tall as they?


Has it feet like water-lilies?

Has it feathers like a bird?

Is it brought from famous countries

Of which I have never heard?


Oh, some scholar! Oh, some sailor!

Oh, some wise man from the skies!

Please to tell a little pilgrim

Where the place called morning lies!


WILL there really be a morning?- by Emily Dickinson sung by Betty Buckley

Who's got the last laugh now?


They told MarconiWireless was a phony


It's the same old cry


They laughed at me wanting you


Said I was reaching for the moon


But oh, you came through


Now they'll have to change their tune


They all said we never could be happy


They laughed at us and how!


But ho, ho, ho!


Who's got the last laugh now?
"Who's Got the Last Laugh Now?" George and Ira Gershwin sung by Fred Astaire

How do you make it last?




How do you keep the music playing?


How do you make it last?


How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
"How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" Alan and Marylin Bergman sung by Tony Bennett

What is it good for?


War, huh


Good God y'all


What is it good for?


Stand up and shout it


Nothing
