Open Mic Night Lyrics - October 4, 2023

Get Together - By The Youngbloods

Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass

Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command

Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

I said come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Right now
Right now

Edge of Glory - By Lady Gaga

There ain't no reason you and me should be alone tonight
Yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby
But I got a reason that you should take me home tonight
I need a man that thinks it right when it's so wrong
Tonight, yeah, baby
Tonight, yeah, baby
Right on the limit's where we know we both belong tonight

It's hot to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to
To the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you

Another shot before we kiss the other side tonight
Yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby
I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight
Alright, alright

Put on your shades 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames tonight
Yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby
It isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight
Alright, alright

It's hot to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to
To the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you

I'm on the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you

I'm on the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you)

This I Promise You - By N*Sync

Oh, oh
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
Was standing here all along

And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun

Just close your eyes (close your eyes) each loving day (each loving day)
And know this feeling won't go away (no)
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

Over and over I thought (over and over I thought)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all

And I will take you in my arms (I will take you in my arms)
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you, babe

Just close your eyes each loving day (each loving day)
And know this feeling won't go away (no)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you

Poor Unfortunate Souls - From The Little Mermaid

The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.

Can you do that?

My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for.
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.
Poor souls with no one else to turn to.

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
To this
True? Yes.
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do

Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

Have we got a deal?

If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again.

But you'll have your man, heh heh. Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh.
Oh, and there is one more thing.
We haven't discussed the subject of payment.

But I don't have-

I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle!
What I want from you is - your voice.

But without my voice, how can I-

You'll have your looks, your pretty face.
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle babble for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man

Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul

Beluga sevruga
Come winds of the Caspian Sea
Larengix glaucitis
Et max laryngitis
La voce to me

Now, sing!

Aah...

Keep singing!

Believe in Yourself - From The Wiz

Diana Ross
The Wiz
Believe In Yourself
(Charlie smalls)

If you believe
Within your heart you'll know
That no one can change
The path that you must go

Believe what you feel
And know you're right, because
The time will come around
When you say it's yours

Believe there's a reason to be
Believe you can make time stand still
You know from the moment you try
If you believe
I know you will

Believe in yourself, right from the start
You'll have brains
You'll have a heart
You'll have courage
To last your whole life through

If you believe in yourself
If you believe in yourself
If you believe in yourself
As i believe in you

Boo! - By Sam Moran

Oh, it takes my breath away (BOO!)

So I cover my eyes

Ready to give me a fright

Shinunoga E-Wa, by Fujii Kaza

Pinky swear, if I do tell a lie

I'm willing to swallow needles or anything on Monday

It doesn't matter if it's Sunday

Mirror Mirror on the wall

Who would give me the most everlasting love of them all?

No need to ask cause it's my darling

I want you to be my last

If I had to keep being separated from you like this

I'd rather die

I choose you over three meals a day

If I had to keep being separated from you like this

I'd rather die

Still, sometimes my heart is being unfaithful

If it's never cured, I'm sure to cure it baby

Yeah, I ain't nothin but ya baby

"You don't know what you got till it's gone"

I'm sick and tired of repeating that same old cliché Goodbye

Oh, don't you ever say bye-bye

want you to be my last

If I had to keep being separated from you like this l'd rather die (I'd rather die)

I'd rather die (I'd rather die)

I choose you over three meals a day

If I had to keep being separated from you like this

I'd rather die (I'd rather die)

I want you to be my last

If I had to keep being separated from you like this

I'd rather die (I'd rather die)

l'd rather die (I'd rather die)

I choose you over three meals a day

If I had to keep being separated from you like this l'd rather die (I'd rather die)

I'd rather die (I'd rather die)

Still, sometimes my heart is being unfaithful I don't need that corny shit anymore bye-bye

I'll always stick with ya, my baby

Fool Again - by Westlife

Baby, I know the story
I've seen the picture
It's written all over your face
Tell me, what's the secret that you've been hiding?
And who's gonna take my place?
I should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over

Can't believe that I'm a fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know?
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm a fool again
And I who thought you were my friend
How was I to know?
You never told me

Baby, you should've called me
When you were lonely
When you needed me to be there
Sadly, you never gave me
Too many chances to show you
How much I care
Ooh, should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over

About the pain and the tears
Ooh, If I could
I would, turn back the time
Ooh yeah I should have seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway, I guess it's over

Hit The Road Jack - by Ray Charles

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)

Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go (That's right)

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)

Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood)
(You ain't got no money you just ain't no good)
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go (That's right)

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)

Well
(Don't you come back no more)
Uh, what you say?
(Don't you come back no more)
I didn't understand you
(Don't you come back no more)
You can't mean that
(Don't you come back no more)
Oh, now baby, please
(Don't you come back no more)
What you tryin' to do to me?
(Don't you come back no more)
Oh, don't treat me like that
(Don't you come back no more)
