"Mother"

   
Mother you had me
But I never had you
I wanted you
But you didn't want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye
Goodbye
Father you I left me
But I never left you
I needed you
You didn't need me
So I, I just got to tell you
I gotta tell you
Goodbye
Goodbye
Children don't do
What I have done
I couldn't walk
But I tried to run
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye
Goodbye
Mamma don't go
Daddy come home
Mamma don't go
Daddy come home
Mamma don't go
Daddy come home
Mamma don't go
Daddy come home
Mamma don't go
Daddy come home...

"The Summer Knows"

   
The summer smiles
The summer knows
And unashamed
She sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes
The restless sky
And lovingly
She warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows
The summer's wise
She sees the doubts
Within your eyes
And so she takes
Her Summertime
Tells the moon to wait
And the sun to linger
Twist the world
Round her summer finger
Lets you see
The wonder of it all
And if you've learned
Your lesson well
There's little more
For her to tell
One last caress
It's time to dress
For fall...
And if you've learned
Your lesson well
There's little more
For her to tell
One last caress
It's time to dress
For Fall...

"I Mean To Shine"

   
Here comes another dawn
For every child to see
This time the morning sun
Is burning just for me
I've got the skyward eyes
Like I've never had before
Just smile and say goodbye
Show me to the door
For every one there comes a precious time
To break away
I mean to shine
Oh, I mean to shine
As I look at all the morning sun
I know I mean to shine
This day I realized
The world I knew is gone
New seasons come and change
The crown that stood upon
I've been afraid to feel
And scared of falling free
You said so I'm real
It seemed so clear to me
For everyone who breathes
There comes a time to fly away
I mean to shine
0h, I mean to shine
As I look at all the morning sun
I know I mean to shine
For everyone who breathes
There comes a time
To break away
I mean to shine
Oh, I mean to shine
As I look at all morning sun
I know I mean to shine.

"You've Got A Friend"

   
When you're down in trouble
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up
Even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to se you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Gets dark and full of clouds
And that old North wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
Then call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, running, running. . .
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Now, ain't it good to know
That you've got a friend
Then people can be so cold
They'll hurt you
Yes, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, running, running, yeah!
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
You've got a friend
Oh, yeah, you've got a friend
Oh ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
You've got a friend

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a soprano
But my mother said my dear you've got to practice you piano
No soprano's in to man but a piano's always grand
And grand pianos in a band make money darling
And so each afternoon when I come home from school
I practice like a bloody fool
You can't imagine all the awful things I play
I could never see a friend
I'd have to practice without end
And as the time was dripping by
I watched the clock without denial
I got the window on the sky
I wished so tearfully that I
Could come outside and play
Instead of wasting every day
Of learning something that
Without a doubt
I could have really done without
It was such a bore
And I could here the boy next door was having fun
And that was something that I'd really never done

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a soprano
But I had to sit and practice on my rotten old piano
Playing major scales and than I played the minors once again
Now up and down the keys I play and out of these
I play a tirade of all the exercises
Never any new surprises
Girl you keep your fingers wrong
What a sound
All I wanted was to sing
And not to make the raftest ring
With my old piano
Practicing I would have popped my back
I sing, I hated every minute of the keyboard I devote
That is why today I'm a soprano, but the sight of a piano
Makes me shot before I can not play a note

"I Got Rhythm"

   
I got rhythm
I got music
I got my man

[Speaking]
You play real good!
How old are you? Eight?
...I was eight once...
For a whole year!
Then I went on to the big time...
Nine...Ten...

[Singing]
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more
All man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him
Round and round and round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dream
I got my man
Who can ask for anything more
I got rhythm
I got music
I got my man

"Johnny One Note / One Note Samba"

   
Johnny can only play one note
And the note he plays is this
This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still
That note
Now this new one is the consequence
Of the one we've just concluded
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
Consequence of you
There's so many people who can
Talk an' talk an' talk
And just say nothing
Nothing
I have used to go the scale
I know that at the end
I've come to nothing
Nothing
So I come back to my first note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love I feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show
Re mi fa sol la ti do
He would find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
Dah dah dee dee da ah ah ...
Better play the note you know !

"Glad To Be Unhappy"

   
Look at yourself...
If you had sense of humor
You would laugh to beat the band...
Look at yourself
Do you still believe the rumor
That romance is simply grand?
Since you took it right on the chin
You have lost that bright toothpaste grin
My mental state is all a-jumble
I sit around in sadly mumble
Fools rush in, so here I am!
Very glad to be unhappy
I can't win, but here I am
More than glad to be unhappy
Unrequited love's a bore and I've got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It's a pleasure to be sad...
Like a straying baby lamb
With no mammy and no pappy
I'm so unhappy
But, oh, so glad!

"People (From Barbra And Other Musical Instruments)"

   
I got rhythm...
People
People who got rhythm
Are the luckiest people
In the world

"Second Hand Rose (From Barbra And Other Musical Instruments)"

   
Every one knows
I'm second hand Rose
From Second Avenue
I got rhythm, I got rhythm, I got rhythm
I got rhythm, I got rhythm, I got rhythm
I got rhythm, oh... oh...
