  1. Cheers Theme

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you’ve got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn’t you like to get away?

(REFRAIN)
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name

(addt’l verses)
All those nights when you’ve got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by its tail
And your third finance didn’t show

(Sing Refrain)

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee’s dead
The morning’s looking bright
And your shrink ran off to Europe
And didn’t even write
And your husband wants to be a girl

(Sing Refrain)

  1. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton John)

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can’t hold me forever
I didn’t sign up with you
I’m not a present for your friends to open
This boy’s too young to be singing
The blues, ah-ah – ahhh, ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhhhhh

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad

Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah-ah – ahhh, ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhhhhh

(2nd Verse)
What do you think you’ll do then?
I bet they’ll shoot down the plane
It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you’ll get a replacement
There’s plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, ah-ah – ahhh, ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhhhhh

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah-ah – ahhh, ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhhhhh

  1. Live and Let Die (Paul McCartney / Wings)

When you were young… and your heart
Was an open book

You used to say live and let live

(You know you did)
(You know you did)
(You know you did)

But if this ever-changin’ world
In which we’re livin’

Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die… Live and let die

(Instrumental – 4 measures)

What did it matter to ya
When you got a job to do you got to do it well
You got to give the other fella hell…

  1. Piano Man (Billy Joel)

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There’s an old man sittin’ next to me
Makin’ love to his tonic and gin

He says, “Son can you play me a memory?
I’m not really sure how it goes
But it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man’s clothes”

(REFRAIN)
La, la-la, di-di-da… La-la di-di-da da-dum
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feelin’ alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he’s quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
But there’s some place that he’d rather be

He says, “Bill, I believe this is killing me”
As a smile ran away from his face
“Well, I’m sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place”

(SING REFRAIN)

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he’s talkin’ with Davy, who’s still in the navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it’s better than drinkin’ alone

(SING REFRAIN)

It’s a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
‘Cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been comin’ to see
To forget about life for a while

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say man what are you doin’ here?

(SING REFRAIN)

  1. Nobody Does It Better (Carly Simon)

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it
Half as good as you
Baby, you’re the best

I wasn’t lookin’
but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love… light…
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keepin’ all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better
Sometimes I wish someone could.

The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There’s some kind of magic… inside… you…

That keeps me from runnin’
But just keep it comin’
How’d you learn to do the things you do?

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it… half as good as you
Baby, baby…
Baby… you’re the bestNobody does it
Quite the way you do.
Did you have to be so good?

  1. I Like Life in Paddy’s (Patrick’s) Pub (from Always Sunny in Philadelphia)

Oh, they say the world’s your oyster…
But oysters ain’t for me

You’re the bell of the ball but, you ain’t my cup of tea
They always vote you best in show but, this doggie disagrees

‘Cause I like life in Patrick’s Pub – and no… grill…

(faster)
There’s a place for me
It’s the place I go, where the beer is cold and the lights are low
It’s Patrick’s Pub
I like Patrick’s Pub
Let the record show, the greatest place to go
Is that bar called Patrick’s Bar … and… No… Grill…

I like life in Patrick’s Puuuuuub

  1. Let it Be (The Beatles)

(1st verse)
When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

(2nd verse)
And when the broken hearted
people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted,
there is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

(Final verse)
And when the night is cloudy
there is still a light that shines on me
Shinin’ until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Yeah – There will be an answer, let it be

  1. Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landside… No escape from reality
Open your eyes… Look up to the skies and see-eee,
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I’m easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me

(1st verse)
Mamaaa… Just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger,
Now he’s dead
Mamaaa… life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama… oooh,
Didn’t mean to make you cry,
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on… carry on as if nothing really matters

(2nd verse)
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine,
body’s aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oooh
I don’t want to die,
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango!
Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo… Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Figaro – magnifico-oh-oh-oh

I’m just a poor boy nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go
(Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, No, NO

Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub… has a devil put aside for me, for me,
For meeeee

So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows…

  1. Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You (Frankie Vallie)

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you

(REFRAIN)
I love you, baby
And if it’s quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I’ve found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothin’ else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you

I love you, baby
And if it’s quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I’ve found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you…

  1. Just the Way You Are (Billy Joel)

Don’t go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before, mmm… mmm…
don’t imagine you’re too familiar
And I don’t see you any more

I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far, mmm… mmm…
I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are

Don’t go trying some new fashion
Don’t change the color of your hair, mmm… mmm…
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard, mmm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
Oh what will it take til you believe in me
The way that I believe in you

I said I love you and that’s forever
And this I promise from the heart, mmm… mmm…
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

(Instrumental break 14 measures – Dance. Swoon.)

I don’t want clever conversation, no, no
I never want to work that hard, mmm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

  1. Crazy (Patsy Cline)

Crazy…
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy…
Crazy for feeling so blue

I knew… you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then someday…you’d leave me for somebody new

Worry… why do I let myself worry?
Won-d’rin… what in the world did I do?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you

  1. Shallow (from A Star Is Born)

(Sing if you identify as a dude)
Tell me something, girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there something else you’re searchin’ for?

I’m fall–ing

In all the good times, I find myself longin’ for change
And in the bad times, I fear myself

(Sing if you identify as a lady… Gaga)
Tell me something, boy
Aren’t you tired trying to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain’t it hard keeping it so hardcore?

I’m fall–ing

In all the good times, I find myself longing for change
And in the bad times, I fear myself

I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I’ll never meet the ground

Crash through the surface, where they can’t hurt us
We’re far from the shallow now

(Sing if you identify as a human-ish)
In the sha-ha, sha-ha-llow
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-llow
In the sha-ha, sha-ha-llow
We’re far from the shallow now

Oh, ha-ah-ah
Ah, ha-ah-ah, oh, ah
Ha-ah-ah-ah

I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I’ll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can’t hurt us
We’re far from the shallow now

In the sha-ha, sha-ha-llow
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-llow
In the sha-ha, sha-ha-llow

We’re far from the shallow now

  1. Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond)

Where it began, I can’t begin to know-ing
But then I know it’s growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who’d have believed you’d come along

Hands… touching hands…
Reaching out…
Touching me, touching you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would

But… now… I
Look at the night
and it don’t seem so lonely
We filled it up with only two

And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holding you

Warm… touching warm…
Reaching out…
Touching me, touching you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh… no… no…

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would

Sweet… Car-o-line…

  1. Tomorrow (from the musical Annie)

The sun’ll come out.. to-mor-row
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow… There’ll be sun

Just thinking about… tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow… ‘Til there’s none!

When I’m stuck with a Day… That’s gray… and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say

The sun’ll come out tomorrow
So you gotta hang on ’til tomorrow… Come what may!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya, Tomorrow
You’re always a day away

(Repeat from the beginning once, back to top folks!)

  1. Happy Together (the Turtles)

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it’s only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me, and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby, the skies’ll be blue
For all my life

Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Ba-ba… ba-ba… ba-ba ba-ba… ba-ba-ba… ba-ba-ba-ba

Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
So happy together

And how is the weather?
So happy together
We’re happy together
So happy together

  1. Holding Out for a Hero (Bonnie Tyler)

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?

Where’s the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn’t there a white knight
upon a fiery steed

Late at night, I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong, and he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life!

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy,
Somewhere just beyond my reach,
There’s someone reaching back for me!

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat,
It’s gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet!

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong, and he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life!!

I need a hero!!!

  1. Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler)

(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
and you’re never coming ’round (Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
of listening to the sound of my tears

(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by (Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit restless
and I dream of something wild (Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
and I’m lying like a child in your arms

(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
and I know I’ve got to get out and cry (Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified,
but then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I get apart

And I need you now, tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever

And we’ll only be making it right
‘Cause we’ll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
(all of the time)

I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do – A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say – A total eclipse of the heart

(Turn around, bright eyes) (Turn around, bright eyes)
(Turn around)

  1. Come on Eileen (Dexy’s Midnight Runners)

Poor old Johnny Ray
sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a mil-lion hearts in mo-no

Our mothers used…
To sing a-long who’d blame them?

You’ve grown, (your grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever (Come on Eileen)

Too-ra Loo-ra Too-ra Loo-Rye Aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen , I swear well he means
At this moment, you mean ev-‘ry-thing
You in that dress, oh my thoughts I confess
Verge on dir-ty

Come on, Eileen too-loo-rye-aye, Come on
Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye, Too-ra
Too-ra-Too-loo-ra – Oh!… Eilieen…

Come on, Eileen too-loo-rye-aye, Come on
Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye, Too-ra
Too-ra-Too-loo-ra – Oh!… Eilieen…

Come on, Eileen too-loo-rye-aye, Come on
Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye, Too-ra
Too-ra-Too-loo-ra – Oh!… Eilieen…

Come on Eileen , I swear well he means
Ah come on! Let’s take off ev-‘ry-thing
That pretty red dress, Eileen tell him less
Ah come on let’s…
Come on Eileen

  1. You’re So Vain (Carly Simon)

You walked into the party
like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror,
as you watched yourself gavotte

And all the girls dreamed that
They’d be your partner
They’d be your partner and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain (you’re so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you don’t you?

You had me several years ago
when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
and that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were
clouds in my coffee
clouds in my coffee and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain (you’re so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you don’t you don’t you?

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun

Well you’re where you should be all the time
And when you’re not, you’re with
some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend
wife of a close friend and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain (you’re so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you don’t you?
