Everyday People

Lucy: Sometimes I'm right Julia: and I can be wrong Laura: My own beliefs are in my song
Avery: The butcher, Grace: the banker, Stella: the drummer and then Avery/Grace/Stella: Makes no difference what group I'm in
All: I am everyday people

There is a blue one who can't accept the green one, For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks, And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Oh sha sha we got to live together

Lucy: I am no better Julia: and neither are you Laura: We are the same whatever we do
Avery: You love me Grace: you hate me Stella: you know me and then Avery/Grace/Stella: You can't figure out the bag I'm in
All: I am everyday people

There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair, For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks, And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Oh sha sha we got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one, That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
Different strokes for different folks, And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
I am everyday people

The Human Heart

The courage of a dreamer, the innocence of youth. The failures and the foolishness that lead us to the truth
The hopes that make us happy. The hopes that don't come true. And all the love there ever was, I see this all in you
You are part- Part of the human heart. You are part...

Of all who took the journey, and managed to endure. The ones who knew such tenderness. The ones who felt so sure
The ones who came before you, the others yet to come. And those who you will teach it to and those you learned it from

You are part- Part of the human heart. You are part...

This is the gift I give. Through your love you'll live forever...
You are part. Part of the human heart. You are part tonight. Tonight. Part of the human heart.

Winter Wonderland

Lucy/Julia: Sleighbells ring, are you list'nin'? In the lane, snow is glist'nin'.  A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walkin' in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird.  Here to stay is a new bird.  He sings a love song as we go along, walkin' in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman, and pretend that he is Parson Brown. 

He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No man! But you can do the job when you're in town!"

Later on, we'll conspire as we dream by the fire, to face unafraid, the plans that we made, walkin' in a winter wonderland.

Sleighbells ring, are you list'nin'? In the lane, snow is glist'nin'. A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walkin' in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird. Here to stay is a new bird.  He's singin' a song as we go along, walkin' in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman, and pretend that he's a circus clown.  

We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman, until the other kiddies knock 'im down! 

When it snows, ain't it thrillin', tho' your nose gets a chillin'? We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way, Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Avery/Grace/Stella: You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, but do you recall the most famous reindeer of all? 

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, they never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Avery: Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Grace: Santa came to say, Stella: "Rudoph, with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

All: Then how the reindeer loved him, as they shouted out with glee: "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!"

Peppermint Twist

A Marshmallow World/Mele Kalikimaka

Lucy/Julia/Laura: It’s a Marshmallow World in the Winter when the snow comes to cover the ground. It’s the time for play, it’s a whipped cream day.  I wait for it the whole year round. Those are Marshmallow clouds being friendly in the arms of the evergreen trees. And the sun is red like a pumpkin head.  It’s shining so your nose won’t freeze.

The world is your snowball, see how it grows.  That’s how it goes, whenever it snows. The world is your snowball, just for a song.  Get out and roll it along.

It’s a yum-yummy world made for sweet hearts.  Take a walk with your favorite girl. It’s a sugar date. What if Spring is late? In Winter, it’s a marshmallow world.

Avery/Grace/Stella: Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day. That’s the island greeting that we send to you from the land where palm trees sway.

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright. The sun will shine by day, and all the stars at night. Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii’s way to say, “Merry Christmas to you.”

Lucy/Julia/Laura

It’s a Marshmallow World in the Winter 

When the SNOW comes to cover the ground.

It’s the time for play

I wait for it the whole year round. 

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly

In the arms of the EVERGREEN trees.

Like a pumpkin head!

It’s shining...

The world is your SNOWBALL, see how it grows.  That’s how it goes, whenever it SNOWS..

The world is your SNOWBALL, just for a song.  Get out and roll it along.

It’s a yum-yummy world made for sweet hearts.  

Take a walk with your favorite girl.

It’s a sugar date.

In Winter, it’s a marshmallow world.

I don’t know what they’re saying

On a bright and CHILLY Christmas day

That’s the island greeting

from the land WITH NO SNOW DAYS.

Here we know that Christmas will be

COLD and bright.

The SNOW will fall by day and all through the night.

In winter it’s a marshmallow World

Have a happy holiday!

I'm Yours

So I won’t hesitate no more, no more.

It cannot wait.  I’m sure there’s no need to complicate.

Our time is short.  This is our fate.  I’m yours.

I guess what I’ll be sayin’ is there ain’t no better reason

To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.  

It’s what we aim to do.  Our name is our virtue.

But I won’t hesitate no more, no more. It cannot wait.  I’m yours.

I won’t hesitate

no more, no more.

It cannot wait.

I’m yours.  there’s no

need to compli-

cate. Our time is short.  This is our

fate.  I'm yours.

(Sing Sing Sing)

Sing, sing, sing, sing all you got to do is sing.  Girls and boys make a noise, just try singing with a swing.  Sing, sing, sing, sing, everybody likes to sing.  Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring - these are all good times to sing!  When the music comes around, just join in with your own sound.  Here's the thing you need to know- Just make it all up as you go! Sing, sing, sing, sing, all you got to do is sing.  Shakespeare said, "the song's the thing" when you sing it with a swing!
