Juliette I dreamed I saw my baby and he stood as a man He stood there, he was singing, in front of a long-haired band A voice as shrill as birds in flight, as low as a croaking toad He said, "Please come here mother, and take this heavy load." Many people were around To hear the filling sound As the music filled the air. He was where he had to be Smoke so thick I couldn't see. The atmosphere of a fair. I dreamed I saw my baby in the middle of the stage He sat there all alone, the crowd left in a rage. His sobs I heard as music now but the shouts would no longer grow. He said, "Please come here mother, and take this heavy load." No more people were around To hear the filling sound; No more music rocked the air. He was where he was meant to be, Tears ran down so he couldn't see, Now singing should be rare.

Henry & Juliette It's your birthday, you're getting older. As each year passes, a little bolder. A long life lies yet before you, So fill it well and they'll be more You can't take it with you when you die Take advantage of it now and you'll get by. Another day, another dollar. You'll lead a pack, and they will follow. They'll understand the game you'll play And soon you'll hear the words they say You can't take it with you when you die Take advantage of it now and you'll get by. Happy birthday little one, our little son, you're number one. Felicitations to our kin, a crashing din will bring you in. The years that follow will be fullfilling So live them well, always be willing To change your ways to please the people. Your name will shout from hills and steeples. You can't take it with you when you die Take advantage of it now and you'll get by.

I I've discovered a way to get me through the day It's my music. I'd go stark-raving mad if I never had my music. Sounding sweet on the street I can hear at my ear My radio blasting out loud The beat can't stop, and I long for the top With people always coming 'round. You can have your equations and the power of the nations 'cause music is my life. It can lead me away, from it I'll never stray. Yes, music will be my life. With those other guys gone I know I can go on. I'll be famous. On my heavy guitar, I could be a great star. No longer nameless. And in time, at my prime, like a rage on the stage I'd be blasting out to the crowd. With all my records sold, I'd just lie back and grow old, But my music will know no bounds. You can have your equations and the power of the nations 'cause music is my life. It can lead me away, from it I'll never stray. Yes, music will be my life.

I I'm a clarinet player In a high school band. No other can reach me; I'm high on the stand. I'm the best; ahead of all the rest I'm unbeatable! One time I was challenged By a fellow chair. Knew he couldn't beat me; Watched him as he stared. I could play to the very highest "A" Undefeatable! I learned my music and I learned it well. Amazing the teacher, you can never tell. (clarinet solo) I'm a clarinet player; Talent's on my side. When called on for a solo I stand and play with pride. Let them scorn when I blow upon my horn. Indefatigable!

I All my life I've been so meek and mildly mannered When I wanted to speak up I was always hammered 'til I made up my mind that the kid would get heavy Female Chorus Kings may come and kings may go But rock will reign forever I Power lies in these bass lines When the kid gets heavy The clarinet was not the place for me to stay So I picked up and learned the bass guitar one day And I made up my mind that the kid would get heavy. Female Chorus Kings may come and kings may go But rock will reign forever I Power lies in these basslines When the kid gets heavy I'm down on my knees But I'm not pleading. Playin' my bass if you please 'til my fingers start bleeding. Female Chorus Kings may come and kings may go But rock will reign forever I Power lies in these bass lines When the kid gets heavy

I We're the world's best rock and roll band Listen to what I say. If you came to see what was planned Don't expect it to turn out that way. Music fills every ear. Its presence is never in doubt. The sweet melodic lines you will hear. Will seem to never run out. Now you've seen and heard the best. Can't believe your eyes. So much better than all of the rest. Stick with us if you're wise.

I Today Is your lucky day You get to hear me play Declare a holiday! Today You just can't get away I have you in my sway Not just another day And now you'll hear As you draw near It's my year! Today Is a special day You got to hear me play You'll never get away Today Is not just any day It's a holiday Now let's just slip away And you've just heard The one true word When I appeared

I Am I not a most amazing man? Am I not a most amazing man? Here I am at the top of the world And to me all the flags are unfurled And I always have first choice of girls What a most amazing man! I'm a most amazing man! Am I not a most amazing man? Am I not a most amazing man? Watch my fingers fly as I play my guitar. Watch me at a party and I'll be a star. Watch me come in first place when I race my car. I'm a most amazing man! I'm a most amazing man! I have to agree when I look at myself I know that I'm the best And comparing myself with somebody else, I leave behind all the rest. How can I be so perfect? I'm a most amazing man! I'm a most amazing man!

I I first picked up my bass guitar at the age of seventeen. I really wanted to be a star and I was playing clean. After the first few notes, I could already tell that I'd be playing steady 'cause only golden fingers could play so heavy. Crowds would gather when I played. Sometimes so many they even paid. They hadn't heard music any finer Than that which came from my golden fingers. I played in my first rock and roll band at the age of seventeen. It didn't come off the way I had it planned, and so I split the scene. I wrote some songs and I sang some tunes, and I knew that I was ready 'cause only golden fingers could play so heavy. But life can't always be heavy; Sometimes you've got to take it light. But if I had my way I'd play those heavy lines all through the night. And now I've got it made, there ain't a cat alive who doesn't know who I am And I play every night doin' my funky jive in a concert or a jam. And if I wanted to, with my powerful sound, I could break down the levee 'cause only golden fingers could play so heavy Crowds would gather when I played. Sometimes so many they even paid. They hadn't heard music any finer Than that which came from my golden fingers.

I I'm just a rock and roll fool. Never went to rock and roll school. Always breaking the rock and roll rules. When I play my guitar I become a rock and roll star. I know that fame and fortune can't be very far. Jump up, Jump back, give it a chance. I you know how, get up and dance. I is my name; Rock and roll is my game. They tell me that a crowd like this is so hard to tame. But I just call to the mass, "Quit smoking all that grass," So that you can witness what has come to pass. Jump up, jump back, give it a chance If you know how, get up and dance So you can call me your rock and roll king. Playing guitar with that rock and roll ring. It's something you'll remember, that rock and roll thing. Now here's a rockin' goodbye To get you rock and roll high. Rock and roll will live 'til I die. Jump up, jump back, give it a chance If you know how, get up and dance

Spike Isn't he a most amazing man? Isn't he a most amazing man? They say success has gone to your head. They'd like to see you lying dead. Your attitude surely makes them see red. You're a most amazing man. You're a most amazing man. They have seen you're no amazing man. They have seen you're no amazing man. They have left you for someone who knows How to control his tongue and ego. Though their rise to fame may be quite slow They are most amazing men. Yes, they're most amazing men. Someday you'll find there must be a new way. One of these men will be coming that day. You may even find him in the mirror. Spike Isn't he a most amazing man? Isn't he a most amazing man?

I am your slave, let me be saved Release all my pain, start over again

I World's gonna change and I'm gonna change it. Turn out the old, rearrange it. We can't get by on what they dictate on high. Reform! Be reborn! Look out the window and what do I see? L.A. smog coming after me. My eyes are burning and heads are turning to me. Reform! Be reborn! I can't do it alone, help is on its way. If you'll help me along, we'll see a new day. Political upsets are getting me upset. Branding our minds so we can forget. The situation that exists in our nation means: Reform! Be reborn!

Group Back together again Back together again When we play, people say that we'll win Back together again

I Kings don't reign forever, got to die. Time is short, my river's running dry. Flashbacks, comebacks, laid-back I is through. In my life I hope I've entertained you. And now the time has come To step out of the light. The band has all gone home, Finished for the night. My reign is through, it's true, I've reached the end. But rock will carry on And goodwill it will send.

Female Chorus Aaah....

(Instrumental)
