BEAUTY SCHOOLl DROPUOT (Frankie Avalon)
Your story's sad to tell, a teenage ne'er-do-well
Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block
Your future's so unclear now, what's left of your career now
Can't even get a trade-in on your smock
Beauty school drop-out, no graduation day for you
Beauty school drop-out, missed your mid-terms and flunked shampoo
Well at least you could have taken time to wash and clean your clothes up
After spending all that dough to have the doctor fix your nose up
Baby get moving (better get moving), why keep your feeble hopes alive
What are you proving? (what are you proving?)
You've got the dream, but not the drive
If you go for your diploma, you could join a steno pool
Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high-school
Beauty school drop-out, (beauty school drop-out) hangin' around the corner
store
Beauty school drop-out, (beauty school drop-out) it's about time you knew
the score
Well they couldn't teach you anything, you think you're such a looker
But no customer would go to you, unless she was a hooker
Baby don't sweat it (don't sweat it), you're not cut out to hold the job
Better forget it (forget it), who wants their hair done by a slob
Now your bangs are curled, your lashes twirled, and still the world is cruel
Wipe off that angel face and go back to highschool
Baby don't blow it, don't put my good advice to shame
Baby you know it, even Dear Abby'd say the same
Now I've called the shot, get off the pot, I really gotta fly
Gotta be goin' to that maltshop in the sky
Beauty school drop-out, (beauty school drop-out) go back to high-school
Beauty school drop-out, (beauty school drop-out) go back to high-school
Beauty school drop-out, (beauty school drop-out) go back to high-school
Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for
And then suddenly appeared before me, the only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper 'please adore me'
But when I looked, that moon had turned to gold - oh oh oh
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Before I was born, late one night
My papa said everything's alright
The doctor laughed when ma laid down
With her stomach bouncing all around
'Cause the beebop stork was about to arrive
Mama gave birth to the hand-jive
I could barely walk when I milked a cow
When I was three, I pushed a plow
While chopping would I move my legs
And I started to dance while I gathered eggs
Townfolk clapped, I was only five
I'll out-dance 'em all, "he' s born to hand-jive"
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah - everybody
Born to hand-jive, baby, born to hand-jive, baby - yeah
How low can you go, how low can you go, how low can you go, how low can you
go
Higher, higher, higher and higher
Now can you hand-jive, baby, oh can you hand-jive, baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, born to hand-jive, oh yeah
FREDDY MY LOVE (Cindy Bullens)
Freddy my love, I miss you more than words can say (uh uh uh ahhh)
Freddy my love, please keep in touch while you're away (oh-oh yeah)
Hearing from you can make the day so much better
Getting a souvenir or maybe a letter
I really flipped over the grey cashmere sweater
Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my lo-ove
Freddy you know, your absence makes me feel so blue (so-oh blue)
That's okay though, your presents make me think of you (sure they do)
My ma will have a heart-attack when she catches
Those pedal-pushers with the black leather patches
Oh how I wish I had a jacket that matches, Freddy my love
Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my lo-ove
Don't keep your letters from me, I thrill to every line
Your spelling's kinda crummy, but honey so is mine
I treasure every gifty, the ring is really nifty
You say it cost you fifty, so you're thrifty, I don\'t mind
Whoa - Freddy you see, you'll hold me in your arms someday (Freddy my
lo-ove)
And I will be wearing your lacy lingerie (Freddy I'm yours)
Thinking about it, my heart's pounding already
Knowing when you come home, we're bound to go steady
And throw your service pay around like confetti, Freddy my love
Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my lo-ove - ooh Freddy
Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my lo-ove - ooh Freddy
Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my lo-ove - I\'m ready
Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my lo-ove - ooh Freddy
Freddy my love, Freddy my love, Freddy my lo-ove...
(to fade)
I saw my problems and I'll see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word
They think our love is just a growin' pain
Why don't they understand? It's just a cryin' shame
Their lips are lyin', only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel - grease is the word
Chorus:
(Grease is the word, is the word that you heard)
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to
yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word
chorus
This is a life of illusion, lack of control
Laced with confusion - what're we doin' here?
We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to
yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word
chorus repeats 2x
(Grease is the word, is the word, is the word...)
GREASED LIGHTNING (John Travolta)
Why this car is automatic, it's systematic, it's hydromatic
Why it's greased lightnin'!
We'll get some overhead lifters, and some four-barrel quads, oh yeah
Keep talkin', whoa keep talkin'
Fuel injection cut-off, and chrome-plated rods, oh yeah
I'll get the money, I'll kill to get the money
With a four-speed on the floor, they'll be waitin' at the door
You know that ain't ****, we ll be gettin' lots of tit - greased lightnin'
Chorus:
Go, greased lightnin', you're burnin' up the quarter mile
Greased lightnin', go greased lightnin'
Go, greased lightnin', you're coasting through the heat lap trials
Greased lightnin', go greased lightnin'
You are supreme, the chicks'll cream for greased lightnin'
We'll get some purple (French) tail-lights and thirty inch fins, oh yeah
A palomina dashboard and duel-muffler twins, oh yeah
With new pistons, plugs and shocks, I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain't braggin', she's a real pussy wagon - greased lightnin'
HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU (Olivia Newton-John)
Guess mine is not the first heart broken, my eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know, there's just no gettin' over you
I know I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide, since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head, hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you, hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him", my heart is saying "don't
let go"
Hold on to the end and that\'s what I intend to do
I\'m hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide, since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head, hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you, hopelessly devoted to you
IT'S RAINING ON PROM NIGHT (Cindy Bullens)
I was deprived of a young girl's dream
By the cruel force of nature from the blue
Instead of a night full of romance supreme
All I got was a runny nose and Asiatic \'flu
It's raining on prom night, my hair is a mess
It's running all over my taffeta dress
It's wilting the quilting on my Maidenform
And mascara flows right down my nose because of the storm
I don't even have my corsage, oh gee
It fell down a sewer with my sister's ID
Yes, it's raining on prom night, oh my darling, what can I do? I miss you
It's raining rain from the skies
And it's raining real tears from my eyes, over you
Oh dear God, make him feel the same way I do right now
Make him want to see me again - oh what can I do
It's raining rain from the skies, it's raining tears from my eyes over you
Raining, ooh tears from my eyes over you
Raining, ooh raining on prom night
Ooh raining, ooh tears from my eyes over you
Ooh raining, ooh raining on prom night
LOOK AT ME, I'M SANDRA DEE (Stockard Channing)
Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee, lousy with virginity
Won't go to bed till I'm legally wed, I can't, I'm Sandra Dee
Watch it, hey, I'm Doris Day, I was not brought up that way
Won't come across, even Rock Hudson lost his heart to Doris Day
I don't drink or swear, I don't rat my hair, I get ill from one cigarette
Keep your filthy paws off my silky drawers.
Would you pull that crap with Annette?
As for you, Troy Donahue, I know what you wanna do
You've got your crust, I'm no object of lust, I'm just plain Sandra Dee
Elvis, Elvis, let me be, keep that pelvis far from me
Just keep your cool, now you're starting to drool
Hey, fungoo, I'm Sandra Dee
MOONING (Louis St. Louis & Cindy Bullens)
I spend my days just mooning, so sad and blue, so sad and blue
I spend my nights just mooning, all over you (all over who?)
Oh I'm so full of love as any fool can see
'Cause angels up above have hung the moon on me
(Why must you go) why must I go on mooning,
So all alone (so all alone)
There would be no (there would be no) more mooning,
If you would call me (up on the phone)
While lying by myself in bed,
I cry and give myself the red eye
Mooning over you
I'll stand behind (you'll stand behind)
You mooning forever more (forevermore)
Someday you'll find (someday we'll find)
Me mooning at your front door (at my front door)
Oh, everyday at school I watch ya, always will until I got ya
Mooning too
there's a moon out tonight
ROCK 'N' ROLL PARTY QUEEN (Louis St. Louis)
Rock 'n roll party
Little girl, do you know who I mean? Pretty soon, she'll be 17
They tell me her name's Betty-Jean, rock 'n roll party queen
Friday night 'n she's got a date, goin' places just for stayin' out late
Droppin' dimes in the record machine, rock 'n roll party queen
Bompa bompa bompa, oh no, can I have the car tonight?
Baby baby, can I be the one, to love you with all of my might?
She's the girl that all the kids know, talk about her wherever she goes
I could write a fan magazine about my rock 'n roll party queen
La la la... rock'n roll party queen
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, rock 'n roll party queen
Bompa bompa bompa, you should see her shake
Baby baby, don't you call it puppy love, don't you want a true romance?
Rockin' and rollin', little party queen
We're gonna do the stroll, hey party queen
You know I love you so, my party queen
You\'re my rockin' and my rollin' party queen
Stranded at the drive-in, branded a fool, what will they say Monday at
school?
Sandy, can't you see, I'm in misery
We made a start, now we're apart, there's nothin' left for me
Love has flown all alone, I sit and wonder why-y-y oh why you left me, oh
Sandy
Oh Sandy, baby, someday, when high-school is done
Somehow, someway, our two worlds will be one
In heaven forever and ever we will be, oh please say you'll stay, oh Sandy
Sandy my darlin', you hurt me real bad, you know it's true
But baby, you gotta believe me when I say, I'm helpless without you
Love has flown all alone, I sit, I wonder why-y-y oh why you left me, oh
Sandy
Sandy, Sandy, why-y-y-y, oh Sandy
SUMMER NIGHTS (John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John &
Cast)
Summer lovin' had me a blast
Summer lovin', happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy, cute as can be
Summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more, like, does he have a car?
She swam by me, she got a crampHe ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun, but uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?
Took her bowlin' in the Arcade
We went strollin', drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed out `til ten o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing, but uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, but you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more, cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly, holdin' my hand
Well she got friendly, down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
Well she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, how much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more, could she get me a friend?
It turned colder, that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doin' now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh, those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more.
TEARS ON MY PILLOW (Sha-Na-Na)
You don't remember me, but I remember you
't was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you, you, you, you
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
No, no no no now, no, no no
You
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS I COULD DO (Stockard Channing)
There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighbourhood thinks I'm trashy and no good
I suppose it could be true,
but there are worse things I could do
I could flirt with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes
Press against them when we dance, make them think they stand a chance
Then refuse to see it through,
that's a thing I'd never do
I could stay home every night, wait around for Mr. Right
Take cold showers every day, and throw my life away
On a dream that won't come true
I could hurt someone like me, out of spite or jealousy
I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry
A fact I'll bet you never knew
But to cry in front of you,
that's the worst thing I could do
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT (John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John)
I got chills, they're multiplyin', and I'm losin' control
'Cause the power you're supplyin', it's electrifyin'
You better shape up, 'cause I need a man, and my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand, to my heart I must be true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
Chorus:
You're the one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh
The one I need (the one I need), oh yes indeed (yes indeed)
If you're filled with affection, you're too shy to convey
Meditate my direction, feel your way
I better shape up, cause you need a man
I need a man, who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up, if I'm gonna prove
You better prove, that my faith is justified
Are you sure?
Yes I'm sure down deep inside
chorus repeats out
WE GO TOGETHER (John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John &
Cast)
