1. YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles
I've got 'em too
There isn't anything, I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

2. WHAT IS A WOMAN
What is a Woman
What is she made of
Why is a woman afraid of not being in love.
What does she long for
Why is it wrong for a woman to be all alone
Young girls are April with rainbows and changes
One day they grow up and
April is over forever
To be a woman means being lonely
That's why a woman is only alive
when in love
What is a woman

3. IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE YOU
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer.
Seeing you in summer I never would go.
Your hair streaked with sun-light,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face witha lustre
that puts gold to shame!
But if I'd ever leave you,
It couldn't be in autumn.
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know.
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air.
I know you in autumn
And I must be there.
And could I leave you
running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
when you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you,
How could it be in spring-time?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! not in spring-time!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!

Watch My Love, Forgive Me (Amore, Scusami) video!
Lyrics to My Love, Forgive Me (Amore, Scusami) :
My love, forgive me,
I didn't mean to have it end like this,
I didn't mean to have you fall in love, in love with me.
My love, please kiss me,
Arrivederci amore, kiss me,
Remember when we part, you'll have my heart,
I love you so.
It was just a slight flirtation,
That was all it was to be,
How could I know this fascination
Would turn to love for you and me.
How to tell you of my heartache?
How to tell you I'm not free?
How can I bear to see your heart break,
To see your heart break over me.
Amore scusami se sto piangendo
Amore scusami, ma ho capito che lasciandoti io soffriro,
Amore baciami, arrivederci amore baciami,
E se mi penserai ricordati che amo te.
Ti ricordi quella sera che per gioco ti bacia?
Sembrava solo un'avventura, un'avventura in riva al mar.
Ti baciavo nel silenzio, non volevo confessar,
Che stavo forse a poco a poco innamorandomi di te.
My love, forgive me ,
I didn't mean to have it end like this,
I didn't mean to have you fall in love, in love with me,
My love, please kiss me,
Arrivederci amore, kiss me,
Though we're apart, you'll still be in my heart,
I love so, I love so, I love so
My love, forgive me,
I didn't mean to have it end like this,
I didn't mean to have you fall in love, in love with me.
My love, please kiss me,
Arrivederci amore, kiss me,
Remember when we part, you'll have my heart,
I love you so.
It was just a slight flirtation,
That was all it was to be,
How could I know this fascination
Would turn to love for you and me.
How to tell you of my heartache?
How to tell you I'm not free?
How can I bear to see your heart break,
To see your heart break over me.
My love, forgive me ,
I didn't mean to have it end like this,
I didn't mean to have you fall in love, in love with me,
My love, please kiss me,
Arrivederci amore, kiss me,
Though we're apart, you'll still be in my heart,
I love so, I love so, I love so

5. REAL LIVE GIRL
But I've never done this
With a real live girl
Straight off the farm
With an actual armful of
Real live girl
Pardon me if your affectionate squeeze
Fogs up my googles and buckles my knees
I'm simply drowned in the sight and the sound
And the scent and the feel
Of a real live Girl
I've seen photographs and facsimilies
That have set my heart off in a whirl
But nothing can beat getting swept off your feet
By a real live girl
Dreams of your bunk don't
Compare with a hunk
Of a real live girl
Speaking of miracles this must be it
Just when I started to learn how to knit
I'm all in stitches
From finding what riches
A waltz can reveal
With a real live girl

6. SUMMER SOUNDS
Happy summer sounds
The summer sounds I love
Listen to the music of the carousel
The tinglelingle, lingle of the icecream bell
The splishing and the splashing and a moonlight swim
The roarin' of the waves when you're surfin in
In June and July and August play a symphony
Under starry skies above
Happy summer sounds
The summer sounds I love
The travelling on a steamboat on a sunday cruise
The sizzle of the hotdogs and a barbecue
The squeaking of a rollercoaster way up high
Whistles on the beach when a peach goes by
Summertime is here
Wake up and come alive
Put away your scarf and glove
Here come summer sounds
The summer sounds I love
[BRIDGE]
Summertime is here
Wake up and come alive
Put away your scarf and glove
All together now
Here come summer sounds
Summer sounds, summer sounds
Here come summer sounds
The summer sounds I love

7. THIS IS ALL I ASK
As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
all the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede this is
all I ask this is all I need
Beautiful girl, walk a little
slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunset, stay a little
longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you
shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange enchanted
land grownups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit
of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish
come true before the night has flown
And let the music play as long
as there's a song for me to sing
And I will stay younger,
oh I will be younger
Yes I will stay younger than spring
VIDEO
8. IF EVER I LEAVE YOU
Oh, no, not in springtime
Summer, winter or fall
No, never could I leave you at all
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer
I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a luster
That puts gold to shame
But if I'd ever leave you
It couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn
I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn
And I must be there
And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
When you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime?
Knowing how in spring
I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no, not in springtime
Summer, winter or fall
No, never could I leave you at all

9. WHAT KIND OF A FOOL AM I?
What Kind Of Fool Am I,
Who never fell in love,
It seems that I'm the only one,
That I've been thinking of.
What kind of man is this,
An empty shell,
A lonely cell in which,
An empty heart must dwell.
What kind of lips are these,
That lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love,
And left me alone like this.
Why can't I fall in love,
Like any other man,
And maybe then I'll know,
What kind of fool I am.
What kind of clown am I?
What do I know of life?
Why can't I cast away the mask of play,
And live my life?
Why can't I fall in love,
Till I don't give a damn,
And maybe then I'll know,
What kind of fool I am.

10. ON THE RIVER NILE
Standing up high on a mountain top
Looking at the valley below
Mary Poppins flies by on a rattlesnake and
I bury my head in the Egyptian snow
Robert Goulet on the River Nile
Blue moon winking at the sky
Look ????? ??? in his big ol' smile
CroUching in the weeds
I watch the boat float by
They float by
They float by
Meltromay kissing a camel lip
His pinky ring glistening in the sun
Back-up band is a monkey and a horse
Mel can barely bow when the band is done
Eating gourmet on a by-plane wing
Her silver tooth blinding the crowd
Pilot does a barrel roll flip and stall-in
And a chorus girl mosh pit breaks her fall
We brake her fall
Brake her fall
Yeah
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Hey...

11. CEST MOI: CAMELOT
Camelot! Camelot!
In far-off France I heard your call.
Camelot! Camelot!
And here am I to give my all.
I know in my soul what you expect of me,
And all that and more I shall be.
A knight of the Table Round should be invincible,
Suceed where a less fantastic man would fail.
Climb a wall no one else can climb,
Cleave a dragon in record time,
Swim a moat in a coat of heavy iron mail.
No matter the pain, he ought to be unwinceable,
Impossible deeds should be his daily fare.
But where in the world
Is there in the world
A man so *extraordinaire*?
C'est moi! C'est moi, I'm forced to admit.
'Tis I, I humbly reply.
That mortal who
These marvels can do,
C'est moi, c'est moi, 'tis I.
I've never lost
In battle or game;
I'm simply the best by far.
When swords are crossed
'Tis always the same:
One blow and au revoir!
C'est moi! C'est moi! So adm'rably fit!
A French Prometheus unbound.
And here I stand, with valour untold,
Exeption'ly brave, amazingly bold,
To serve at the Table Round!
The soul of a knight should be a thing remarkable,
His heart and his mind as pure as morning dew.
With a will and a self-restraint
That's the envy of ev'ry saint
He could easily work a miracle or two.
To love and desire he ought to be unsparkable,
The ways of the flesh should offer no allure.
But where in the world
Is there in the world
A man so untouched and pure?
(C'est moi!)
C'est moi! C'est moi, I blush to disclose.
I'm far too noble to lie.
That man in whom
These qualities bloom,
C'est moi, c'est moi, 'tis I.
I've never strayed
From all I believe;
I'm blessed with an iron will.
Had I been made
The partner of Eve,
We'd be in Eden still.
C'est moi! C'est moi! The angels have chose
To fight their battles below,
And here I stand, as pure as a pray'r,
Incredibly clean, with virtue to spare,
The godliest man I know!
C'est moi!

12. CALL ON ME
Call On Me
If sometimes life is hard for you
If someone's apart from you
Don't worry babe I'm on your side
It's not a pity girl I'll come tonight
If sometimes there's a way to go
There's nobody to let your love grow
Don't you worry babe I'm on your side
It's not a pity girl I'll come tonight
Call on me when you're alone
darling
If you need someone to love
darling
Love is a thing that you need
So call on me
Call on me when you're alone
darling...
And somehow there'll be better days
so let me see a smile on your face
Don't you worry babe I'm on your side
It's not a pity girl I'll come tonight
Call on me when you're alone darling...
Baby take your chance
If you need me here I am
Run to me and have a try
I can't stand to see you cry
Call on me when you're alone darling...
