Lyrics
-One Day At A Time
YOU ARE MY WEAKNESS,
YOU ARE MY STRENGTH,
NOTHING I HAVE IN THE WORLD
MAKES BETTER SENSE.
‘CAUSE I’M A FISH AND YOU’RE THE SEA.

WHEN WE’RE TOGETHER
WHEN WE’RE APART,
THERE’S NEVER A BEAT IN BETWEEN
THE BEAT OF OUR HEARTS.
‘CAUSE I’M THE APPLE AND YOU’RE THE TREE.

(Toot-toot-toot)
ONE DAY AT A TIME IS ALL WE DO-BE DOO,
ONE DAY AT A TIME IS GOOD FOR
YOU,
OH,
OH,
OH-OH.

YOU ARE MY WOMAN,
I AM YOUR MAN,
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS AT ALL,
NOW I UNDERSTAND
THAT I’M THE DOOR AND YOU’RE THE KEY.

AND EV’RY MORNING,
I WAKE IN YOUR SMILE,
FEELING YOUR BREATH ON MY FACE
AND THE LOVE IN YOUR EYES.
‘CAUSE YOU’RE THE HONEY AND I’M THE BEE.

(Toot-toot-toot)
ONE DAY AT A TIME IS ALL WE DO-BE -DOO-BE-DOO,
ONE DAY AT A TIME IS GOOD FOR
YOU,
US TWO,
YOU TOO,
OH-OH.

DO DO DO DO
DO DO DO DO
DO DO DO DO DO DO
DO DO DO DO
‘CAUSE I’M THE FISH AND YOU’RE THE SEA,
‘CAUSE I’M THE APPLE AND YOU’RE THE TREE,
‘CAUSE I’M THE DOOR AND YOU’RE THE KEY,
‘CAUSE I’M A HONEY AND YOU’RE THE BEE.

-I Know
-”The end of two middle aged”

THE YEARS HAVE PASSED SO QUICKLY,
ONE THING I UNDERSTOOD:
I’M ONLY LEARNING TELL THE TREES FROM WOOD.

AND I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL,
AND I KNOW NOW WHAT I HAVE DONE.
AND I KNOW THAT I’M GUILTY, YES, I AM,
BUT I NEVER COULD READ YOUR MIND.

TODAY,
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YESTERDAY,
RIGHT NOW,
I LOVE YOU MORE, RIGHT NO-OO-OO-OO-OW.

AND I KNOW WHAT’S COMING DOWN
AND I KNOW WHERE IT’S COMING FROM.
AND I KNOW IT’S GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME
NOW WE’RE SHARING EACH OTHERS MIND.

I KNOW WHAT I WAS MISSING,
BUT NOW MY EYES CAN SEE.
PUT MYSELF IN YOUR PLACE AS YOU DID FOR ME.

TODAY,
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YESTERDAY-HEY,
RIGHT NOW,
I LOVE YOU MORE, RIGHT NO-OO-OO-OO-OW.

OOOH – OH-OH-OH

NO MORE CRY, NO MORE CRYIN’

-I’m The Greatest
-”OK, OK, Shall we try another one? Itt’s the intro that we’re worst on now, a bit slow isn’t it?
-”Yeah…”
-”Yeah, too …..?……on the tom tomm’s or something, about four, ok, shall we try it?
OK boys, this is it!
Hey, hey one, two, three, four.

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY,
WAY BACK HOME IN LIVERPOOL,
MY MAMA TOLD ME, I WAS GREAT.

THEN WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER,
I KNEW THAT I HAD GOT SOMETHING GOING,
MY BABY TOLD ME I WAS GREAT.

NOW I’M A MAN,
A WOMAN TOOK ME BY THE HAND,
AND SHE TOLD ME…I WAS GREAT.

I WAS IN THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH,
FOR WHAT IT WAS WORTH.
AND NOW I’M THIRTY-TWO;
AND ALL I WANNA DO, IS BOOGALOO!

HEY!

YEAH, I LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR,
I SEE MY WIFE AND KIDS,
AND THEY TELL ME…YOU’RE GREAT.

NOW LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU
THE ONE AND ONLY BILLIE SHEARS
AH, SHE’S THIRTY-TWO;
AND ALL SHE WANTS TO DO, IS BOOGALOO!

HEY!

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEAR THEM SAY,
MY MAMA TOLD ME I WAS GREAT

HO! HO! HO!

-”Let’s go again, go straight from thee top
Ok, oh, that’s ok…bang….two, three, four!
