Open Mic Night Lyrics - December 4, 2024

"Santa Tell Me" - Ariana Grande

Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year

Feeling Christmas all around
And I'm tryna play it cool
But it's hard to focus when I see him walking 'cross the room
"Let It Snow" is blasting out
But I won't get in the mood
I'm avoiding every mistletoe until I know
It's true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas
I'm not all alone, boy

Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year

I've been down this road before
Fell in love on Christmas night
But on New Year's Day I woke up and he wasn't by my side
Now I need someone to hold
Be my fire in the cold
But it's hard to tell if this is just a fling
Or if it's true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas
I'm not all alone, boy

Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year

Oh, I wanna have him beside me like oh-oh-oh
On the 25th by the fireplace, oh-oh-oh
But I don't want a new broken heart
This year I've got to be smart

Oh, baby
(Santa tell me)
If ya won't be
(Santa tell me)
If ya won't be here!
(Santa tell me)

Santa, tell me if you're really there (Santa tell me)
(If you're really there)
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year (He won't be here next year)
Santa, tell me if he really cares (Tell me)
(Tell me babe)
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year (He won't be here next year)

Santa, tell me if you're really there (Tell me)
(Tell me baby)
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year (If he won't be, if he won't be here)
Santa, tell me if he really cares (Tell me)
(Do you care)
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here (He won't be here next year)
Next year

“Popular” - from “Wicked”

Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!

You really don't have to do that

I know, that's what makes me so nice!

Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?
My tender heart tends to start to bleed
And when someone needs a makeover
I simply have to take over!
I know, I know exactly what they need!

And even in your case
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed!
Follow my lead
And yes indeed, you will be

Popular!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper ploys
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce
Ooh!
I'll show you what shoes to wear!
How to fix your hair!
Everything that really counts to be

Popular!
I'll help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts
You'll be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's start
'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go!

Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to become a
Pal, a sister and advisor
There's nobody wiser!
Not when it comes to

Popular!
I know about popular
And with an assist from me
To be who you'll be
Instead of dreary who you were
Well, are
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-ler... lar

La la, la la!
We're gonna make you pop-you-lar!

When I see depressing creatures
With unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf
To think of
Celebrated heads of state
Or specially great communicators!
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh!

They were popular!
Please!
It's all about popular
It's not about aptitude
It's the way you're viewed
So it's very shrewd to be
Very very popular
Like me!

Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful!

I, I have to go

You're welcome

And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it!
Your new found popularity!
Aah!

La la, la la!
You'll be popular!
Just not quite as popular as me!

“Defying Gravity” - from “Wicked”

Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once?
Instead of flying off the handle!

I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever

I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now

Elphie, listen to me, just say you're sorry
You can still be with the wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted (I know)
But I don't want it
No, I can't want it anymore

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap

It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

Can't I make you understand
You're having delusions of grandeur?

I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'til I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

Glinda, come with me
Think of what we could do, together

Unlimited
Together, we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been
Glinda, dreams the way we planned 'em
If we work in tandem
There's no fight we cannot win

Just you and I, defying gravity
With you and I defying gravity
They'll never bring us down

Well, are you coming?

I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this (you, too)
I hope it brings you bliss
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy my friend

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me

Tell them how I am defying gravity
I'm flying high, defying gravity
And soon, I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down

I hope you're happy (Look at her! She's wicked, get her)
Bring me down! (No one mourns the wicked! So we've got to bring her)
Oh! (Down)

“All My Love” - Coldplay

We've been through low
Been through sunshine, been through snow
All the colors of the weather
We've been through high
Every corner of the sky
And still we're holding on together

You got all my love
Whether it rains or pours, I'm all yours
You've got all my love
Whether it rains, it remains
You've got all my love

Until I die
Let me hold you if you cry
Be my one, two, three, forever

'Cause you got all my love
Whether it rains or pours, I'm all yours
You've got all my love
Whether it rains, it remains
You've got all my love

La-la, la-la, la, lay
Whether it rains or pours, I'm all yours
La-la, la-la, la, lay
That's all, all I can say

Ooh, you got all my love
Oh, for now and always, 'til the end of my days
You got all my love
You've got all my love

“Can’t Help Falling in Love” - Elvis Presley

… Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?

… Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

… Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you

… Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

… Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

“Happy” - Pharrell Williams

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way

Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Here come bad news talking this and that
Yeah, well, gimme all you got and don't hold back
Yeah, well I should probably warn you I'll be just fine
Yeah, no offense to you don't waste your time
Here's why

bring me down
Can't nothing (happy) bring me down
My level's too high (happy) to bring me down
Can't nothing (happy) bring me down
I said
(Happy, happy, happy) bring me down
Can't nothing bring me down
My level's too high (happy) to bring me down
Can't nothing bring me down
I said

bring me down
Can't nothing (happy) bring me down
My level's too high (happy) to bring me down
Can't nothing (happy) bring me down
I said

The Christmas Song - Mel Torme

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey, and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa is on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
