1. _ Folk Monologue
Can i get my glass of tea? mmm, nothing like it!
At this time i would like very much to do a folksong. since folksongs,
I think are still popular today. uhm, this one is in latvian and it's
From latvia. and it's about this tahitian girl who uhm, had this lover.
And then one day this lover decides that he doesn't like her anymore
And likes her sister better. so she decided that the only thing to do
Naturally was to kill herself, see. so one day, oh, was very nice out
About 75 degrees, and she was taking this walk down to the river to
Drown when she, she tripped over this rock see. and uhm, oh it was
Awful i mean, she broke her glasses, she scrapped her knees. and uhm,
Just at this minute the lover and the sister happen to come by in a
Taxicab. so, see they saw her on the floor and she, having an
Astigmatism in her left eye, she thought that it was a wild bore. so,
She figured oh boy i'd better get down to the river fast to drown so
She runs down there and what do you know the river was frozen. so i
Mean she just stood there you know and she went tchhh, like that. tch,
And uhm, because, i mean, she couldn't do it that day. see, it was a
Small town they only had one river, so. anyway than she figured, oh
It's getting late, better get home cause her mamma would be worried
And would kill her if she was late for supper you know. so, i mean,
She gets up and she starts walking around home and she bumps in to
This guy, and what do you know, he turns out to be an optometrist.
And just happens to happen to have her "suscription". so, anyway, uh?
Oh, i'm sorry "subscription".so anyway, i mean, she's i don't want
You to think that this is one of those hollywood-like stories: she
Gets the glasses and sees happily ever after. i mean, this is, you
Know, no like that. i mean she had to pay for the glasses just like
You and me, she ... well, oh well, i mean, i don't want you to think
That i'm lying but she did get about a dollar fifty off, dollar
Sixty-five? so anyway, uhm... this guy (oh) turned out to be very
Nice and he even told her where she could find another river.
So, i'll tell you the truth, this girl was a real creep. i mean,
You know who would wanna sing a song about her? i mean, her sister
Was really much nicer. and uhm, i mean, i, i think she came from
A better family.
[singing]
Call me a boob
Call me a schlemiel
Call me a brain with a missing wheel
Call me what you will
But nonetheless i'm still
In love with harold mingert
It's not because he has a car
Arnie fleisher has a car
And a car is just a car
But if harold didn't have a car too his name
I guess i'd love him just the same
Call me what you will
But nonetheless i'm still
In love with harold mingert
And it's not because he has a wealthy family
Arnie fleischer has a wealthy family
But money isn't everything
And if harold didn't have a car too his name
I know i'd love him just the same
But sometimes i ask myself why than
Do i than love harold mingert
Harold isn't handsome or clever or smart
And i don't find romance and a dance in his heart
The only answers i can think about
Harold mingert's money and harold mingert's car
Call me what you will
But non the less i'm still
In love with harold mingert
Also arnie fleisher!

2. _ People
People,
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers
Are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person,
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

3. _ Happy Days Are Here Again
So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are here again
So, let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!

4. _ Natural Sounds
My heart would make
Natural sounds
With you my love
The happy sound
Of water on stone
The quiet sound
Of waves on sand
When you hold my hand
My heart makes
Natural sounds
With you...
My head makes
Natural noises too
My love
The worrying sound of bees in the comb
The rushing sound of wind in the trees
When we kiss
And more than this i know
My heart would make
Natural sounds
If ever you should go
The hollow sound of stones dropped in a well
The lonely sound
Of rain in the night
Natural sounds
My heart makes
Natural sounds
With you...

5. _ Cry Me A River
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the lone night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me...
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on! come on!
Cry me a river...
Cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you...

6. _ I Can See It
Ah, okay!
The hills are alive
And it's pretty frightening
The sun goes down
The moon comes out
The people gather 'round and we all begin to shout
Ech... mud!
You better not cry
You better not shout
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa claus is dead
There's a song i must sing,
It's a well known song,
But the tune is bitter
And it doesn't take long to learn, i can learn!
That pretty little world that beams so bright
That pretty little world that seems delightful cambered
Let me learn...let me learn...
For i can see it, shining somewhere
Bright lights somewhere invite me to compare and learn
And i'm ready, i can hear it silent singing
Inside my ear, i hear them all singing of love!
Who knows maybe all the visions that i see
May be waiting just for me to say
Take me there and make me see it, make me feel it
I know it so, i know that it really may be...
Let me learn!

7. _ He Touched Me
He touched me, he put his hand near mine
And then he touched me
I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
A sparkle, a glow
He knew it...it wasn't accidental, no, he knew it
He smiled and seem to tell me so all through it
He knew it, i know...
He's real, and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive t'wards valentining
He touched me; i simply have to face the fact
He touched me...
Control myself and try to act
As if i remember my name
But he touched me...he touched me...
And suddenly nothing is the same!
'cause he touched me...he touched me...
And suddenly...nothing, nothing, nothing is the same

8. _ Sleep In Heavenly Peace (silent Night)
We're all very lucky, i think. the night is lovely. 'cause last night it was so humid. but tonight it's very sort of, in a strange way, peaceful...
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

9. _ Second Hand Rose
Father has a business strictly second hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand
Stuff in our apartment came from father's store
Even things i'm wearing someone wore before
It's no wonder that i feel abused
I never get a thing that ain't been used
I'm wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
That's why they call me
Second hand rose
Even our piano in the parlor
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second hand pearls
I'm sick of second hand curls
I never get a single think that's new
Even jake, the plumber, he's a man i adore
Had the nerve to tell me he's been married before!
Everyone knows that i'm just
Second hand rose
From second avenue!
From second avenue! nu!
One more time!
Everyone knows that i'm just
Second hand rose
(from second avenue!)
From what?
Let's see if you know the fills!
Once while strooling
Through the ritz a girl got my goat...
(she nudged her friend
And said oh look there goes
My old fur coat)
You don't need me!
Everyone knows that i'm just
Second hand rose
From second avenue!
(ya can't beat the egg-creams!)
Good! second avenue!
(there is more between me
And fifth avenue, i tell ya)
Right! second avenue!

10. _ Marty The Martian
Ah, okay!
The hills are alive
And it's pretty frightening
The sun goes down
The moon comes out
The people gather 'round and we all begin to shout
Ech... mud!
You better not cry
You better not shout
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa claus is dead
I was sitting on a hill
And i was looking at the sky
And that's when a strange
Looking object caught my eye
I tried to run away
Burt i couldn't even stand
And the great big flying saucer
Came in to land
Then the cabin opened up
And a handsome man got out
And he was so good looking that i
Wanted to shout
He was smiling right at me
I was falling for his charms
And only one thing bothered me
He had eleven arms
Then he started in to talk
The stranger from the stars
He said my name is marty
And i come from mars
So i listened while he told
The story of his life
He said he'd come here
Straight from mars
To find a wife
I said marty tell me this
I said marty tell me true
How come you got eleven arms
When i got only two
But the martian gave a wink
And he told me with a shrug
We need them all to hug and hug
It sounded good to me
So i said i'd be his wife
And fly around with him
For the rest of my life
He walked back up the hill
We both were feeling grand
Yes, we both back to his flying saucer
Hand in hand in hand in hand in hand...
In haaaaaaaaaand!

11. _ Love Is Like A New Born Child
Love's beginning
Hearts enchanted
Full of bright new dreams
But we can't take love for granted
For to me it seems
A new love is like a new born child
Tender and sweet and a-need of care
Precious indeed
Is the lave we share
Like a new born child
Like a tiny baby
Till it grows up strong
You lullaby a new love
With a happy song
Because a new love
Is like a new born child
Cherished adored
To hold it close
Give it your love
And just let it grow
And grow to be something sure
Something grand
Something heaven must have planned
Like a tiny new born child
Like a lovely
New born child...
