In Summer
Really? I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat.
Nope! But sometimes I like to close my eyes,
And imagine what it'll be like when summer does come.
Bees'll buzz, kids'll blow dandelion fuzz
And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer.
A drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand
Prob'ly getting gorgeously tanned in summer.
I'll finally see a summer breeze, blow away a winter storm.
And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm!
And I can't wait to see, what my buddies all think of me.
Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer.
Dah dah, da doo, uh bah bah bah bah bah boo
The hot and the cold are both so intense,
Put 'em together it just makes sense!
Rrr Raht da daht dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah doo
Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle,
But put me in summer and I'll be a, happy snowman!
When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream,
Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam.
Oh the sky would be blue, and you guys will be there too
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer.
I'm gonna tell him.
Don't you dare!
In summer!
Brave
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes the shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
And since your history of silence
Won't do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don't you tell them the truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you.
See you be brave
The Lion King
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun.
There’s more to see than can ever be seen,
More to do than can ever be done.
There’s far too much to take in here,
More to find than can ever be found.
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky keeps great and small
On the endless round.
It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all.
Through despair and hope,
Through faith and love,
Till we find our place on the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life.
Hmmm, hmm.
I’m gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware.
Well, I’ve never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair.
I’m gonna be the mane event, like no king was before.
I’m brushing up on looking down.
I’m working on my roar!
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing.
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!
Everybody look left,
Ev’ry body look right.
Ev’ry where you look,
I’m standing in the spotlight.
Let ev’ry creature go for broke and sing.
Let’s hear it in the heard and on the wing.
It’s gonna be King Simba’s finest fling.
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!
Hm, hm, hm, hm.
I know that your pow’rs of retention
are as wet as a wart hog’s backside.
But thick as you are, pay attention:
My words are a matter of pride.
It’s clear from your vacant expressions
(Hoo, hoh, hoh, hoh.)
The lights are not all on upstairs. (Hoo, hoh, hoh, hoh.)
But we’re talking kings and successions.
Even you can’t be caught unawares.
So prepare for the coup of the cent’ry.
Be prepare for the murkiest scam. La la la.
Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning,
Decades of denial is simply why I’ll be king undisputed,
Respected, saluted and seen for the wonder I am.
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared.
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared.
Be prepared!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase.
What a wonderful phrase.
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!
Ain’t no passing craze. Ain’t no passing craze.
It means no worries for the rest of your days.
It’s our problem free philosophy.
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna, it means no worries for the rest of your days.
It’s our problem free philosophy.
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!
Can you feel the love tonight, the peace the evening brings?
The world, for once, in perfect hamony with all its living thing.
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn’t look too far.
Stealing through the night’s uncertainties,
Love is where they are.
It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all
through despair and hope,
through faith and love,
Till we find our place
on the path unwinding in the circle,
the circle of life.
Bandstand Boogie
We’re goin’ hoppin’
We’re goin’ hoppin’ today,
Where things are poppin’
The Philadelphia way;
We’re gonna drop in on all the music
they play on the Bandstand, Bandstand.
We’re goin’ swingin’,
We’re gonna swing in the crow,
And we’ll be clingin’
And floatin’ high on a cloud,
The phones are rining’ my mom and dad are so proud
I’m on Bandstand, Bandstand.
And I’ll jump and hey, I may even show’em my handstand,
Because I’m on, because I’m on the American Bandstand.
When we dance real slow I’ll show all the guys in the grandstand,
What a swiner I am, I am on the American Bandstand.
We’re goin’ hoppin’

Where things are poppin’
The Philadelphia way;
We’re gonna drop in on all the music
they play on the Bandstand, Bandstand.
Bandstand. Bandstand

Ready to go, what a pro!
Hey! I’m makin’ my mark:
Gee, this joint is jumpin’
They made such a fuss just to see us arrive.
Hey! It’s Mister Dick Clark
What a place you’ve got here, swell spot,
The music’s hot here.
Best in the East,
Give it a least a seventy five!
Now for all you Joe’s here goes my American handstand
Because I’m on, because I’m on the American Bandstand
As we dance real slow, I’m showing’ the guys in the grandstand,
That I like my girl, but I love American Bandstand.
The singer’s crownin’ he aint the greatest, but gee, my baby’s swoonin’
In front of all of TV.
So if you tune in, you’ll see my baby and me on the Bandstand,
Bandstand.
And now we’re hoppin’, and we’ll be hoppin’ all day where things are
poppin’ the Philadelphia way.
And you can drop in on all the music they play on the Bandstand,
Bandstand.
And we’ll rock and roll and Stroll on American, Lindy Hop and Slop, it’s
American tune in, I’m on, turn on, I’m in, I’m on!
