THIS MAGIC MOMENT
-----------------
This magic moment,, so different and so new
Was like any other until I kissed you
And then it happened, it took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it, too, by the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine, softer than a summer night
Everything I want to have whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment, while your lips are close to mine, will last forever
Forever till the end of time

Sweeter than wine, softer than a summer night
Everything I want to have whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment, while your lips are close to mine, will last forever
Forever till the end of time


DREAM LOVER
-----------
Every night I hope and pray a dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms

Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover, so that I won't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you, with a love oh-so-true
And a hand that I can hold to feel you near as I grow old

Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover, so that I won't have to dream alone

Someday I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do until all my lover's dreams come true

Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover, so that I won't have to dream alone


DIANA
-----
I'm so young and you're so old, this, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say, 'cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free as the birds up in the trees

Oh, please, stay by me, Diana

Thrills I get when you hold me close, oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me? Oh, Diana, can't you see?
I love you with all my heart and I hope we'll never part

Oh, please, stay with me, Diana

Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover, tell me that there is no other
I love you with all my heart
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Only you can take my heart, only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms, I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me darling, hold me tight, squeeze me, baby, with all your might

Oh, please, stay with me, Diana
Oh, please, Diana


DONNA
-----
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna

I had a girl, and Donna was her name
Since she left me I've never been the same

'Cause I love my girl, Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Not that you're gone, I'm left all alone
All by myself to wander and roam

'Cause I love my girl, Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Darling, now that you're gone, I don't know what I'll do
All the time and all my love for you

I had a girl, and Donna was her name
Since she left me I've never been the same

'Cause I love my girl, Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Darling, now that you're gone, I don't know what I'll do
All the time and all my love for you

I had a girl, and Donna was her name
Since she left me I've never been the same

'Cause I love my girl, Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna

Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna


GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
-------------------
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, but what a thrill
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!

I laughed at love because I thought it was funny
But you came along and you moved me, honey
I've changed my mind, this love is fine
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!

Kiss me, baby, woah, feels good
Hold me, baby, I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I want to tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun
C'mon, baby, drive me crazy
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!

Kiss me, baby, woah, feels good
Hold me, baby, I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I want to tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun
C'mon, baby, drive me crazy
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!


LATEST FLAME
------------
A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town of the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest, blackest hair, the prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled, the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry?

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me she'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled, the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry?

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me she'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

And Marie's the name of his latest flame
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
And Marie's the name of his latest flame


MONSTER MASH
------------
Good evening!

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
My monster, from its slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the Mash, he did the Monster Mash
The Monster Mash, and it's a graveyard smash
He did the Mash, it caught on in a flash
He did the Mash, he did the Monster Mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the Mash, they did the Monster Mash
The Monster Mash, it was a graveyard smash
They did the Mash, they caught on in a flash
They did the Mash, they did the Monster Mash

The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun
The guests included Wolfman, Dracula, and his son

The scene was rocking, all were digging the sound
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, The Crypt Keeper Five

They did the Mash, they played the Monster Mash
The Monster Mash, it was a graveyard smash
They played the Mash, they caught on in a flash
They played the Mash, they played the Monster Mash

Out of his coffin his voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Opened the lid, shook his fist, and said
"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"

It's now the Mash, it's now the Monster Mash
The Monster Mash, and it's a graveyard smash
It's now the Mash, it caught on in a flash
It's now the Mash, it's now the Monster Mash

Now everything is cool, Drac's a part of the band
My Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this Mash was meant, too
When you get to my door, tell them Only sent you

Then you can Mash, then you can Monster Mash
The Monster Mash, another graveyard smash
Then you can Mash, it caught on in a flash
Then you can Mash, you did the Monster Mash


ONLY MAKE BELIEVE
-----------------
People see us everywhere, they think you really care
But myself I can't deceive, I know it's only make believe

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so

My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

My hopes, my dreams come true, my life I'd give for you
My heart, my wedding ring, my all, my everything
My heart I can't control, you rule my very soul

My only prayer will be someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so

My prayers, my hopes, my schemes, you are my every dream
But it's only make believe


RUNAWAY
-------
As I walk along, I wonder what went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things we've done together
While our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel a pain
Wishin' you were here by me to end this misery

And I wonder (wonder) why (why) she ran away
And I wonder where she still stay
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway

I'm a-walkin' in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel a pain
Wishin' you were here by me to end this misery

And I wonder (wonder) why (why) she ran away
And I wonder where she still stay
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway


YOU BELONG TO ME
----------------
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me

See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
