PEEK-A-BOO:
Show a little more,
Show a little less,
Let me do a few tricks,
Some old and then some new tricks,
I’m very versatile.
Add a little smoke…
And if you’re real good,
I’ll make you feel good,
I want your spirit to climb,
Welcome to Burlesque!
Everything you dream of,
But never can possess.
So let me entertain you,
We’ll have a real good time,
Yes sir!
Outside it is winter. But in here it’s so hot.
Every night we have to battle with the girls
to keep them from taking off all their clothings.
So don’t go away. Who knows?
Tonight we may lose the battle!
Nothing’s what it seems . . .
Welcome to Burlesque!
Can you determine how many cabarets these lyrics are from?

YMCANDY MAN: “Young man, there’s no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, ’cause you’re in a new town
there’s no need to be unhappy.“
“But I can take a rainbow,
wrap it in a sigh,
soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie.
I’m the Candy Man, the Candy Man!
I mix it all with dough and make the world taste good.“
“Young man, there’s a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you’re short on your dough.
You can bake there, and I’m sure you will find,
many ways to have a good time.
It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.“

If I Could Turn Back Time
CHER lyrics
Songwriters: Warren,
Diane;
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I’d
take back those words that have hurt you
And you’d stay
I don’t know
why I did the things I did
I don’t know why I said the things I
said
Pride’s like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons,
they wound sometimes
I didn’t really mean to hurt you
I didn’t wanna
see you go
I know I made you cry
But baby
If I could turn back
time, if I could find a way
I’d take back those words that have hurt
you
You’d stay if I could reach the stars
I’d give them all to you, then
you’d love me, love me
Like you used to do, if I could turn back
time
My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like somebody took a
knife
And drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door
I
swore that I didn’t care
But I lost everything darling then and
there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was
wrong
I know that I was blind and darling
If I could turn back time,
if I could find a way
I’d take back those words that have hurt you
And
you’d stay if I could reach the stars
I’d give them all to you then you’d
love me, love me
Like you used to do, if I could turn back time
If I
could turn back time, if I could turn back time
If I could turn back time, oh
baby
I didn’t really mean to hurt you
I didn’t wanna see you go, I know I
made you cry
If I could turn back time, if I could find a way
I’d take
back those words that have hurt you
And if I could reach the stars
I’d
give them all to you then you’d love me, love me
Like you used to do, if I
could turn back time

“BUT THE WORLD GOES ‘ROUND”: The lyrics from Liza Minnelli’s 1977 film “New York, New York” seem appropriate in the aftermath of hurricane Sandy.
Sometimes you’re happy, sometimes you’re sad
But the world goes ’round
Sometimes you lose every nickel you had
But the world goes ’round
Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn’t alter a thing
Take it from me, there’s still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a fall and a spring
And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes ’round
And sometimes your heart breaks with a deafening sound
Somebody loses and somebody wins
And one day it’s kicks, then it’s kicks in the shins
But the planet spins, and the world goes ’round-
But the world goes ’round
But the world goes ’round
Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn’t matter at all
Take it from me, there’s still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a spring and a fall
And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes ’round
And sometimes your heart breaks with a deafening sound
Somebody loses and somebody wins
Then one day it’s kicks, then it’s kicks in the shins
But the planet spins, and the world goes ’round
And ’round and ’round and ’round and ’round
The world goes ’round and ’round and ’round
And ’round!
Lyrics by the great iconic team: composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb.
