GREASE
From the Album: "Grease Soundtrack"
Grease
Frankie Valli
I solve my problems and I see the light
We gotta plug and think, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go to far
We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
They think our love is just a growing pain
Why don't they understand, It's just a crying shame
Their lips are lying only real is real
We start to find right now we got to be what we feel
Grease is the word
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 believing now that we can be wo we are
Grease is the word
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
This is the life of illusion
Wrapped up in trouble laced with confusion
What we doing 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 believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
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
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
Grease is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word

Summer Nights
Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta
Summer lovin' had me a blast
Summer lovin', happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
I 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 cramp
He went by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed up, 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 up until 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.

Hopelessly Devoted To You
Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta
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
Hello, 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 not in 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, 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 not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you
*****
You're The One That I Want
Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta
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, honey
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 fate is justified
Are you sure?
Yes I'm sure down deep inside
(chorus repeats out)

Sandy
John Travolta
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, maybe someday, when highschool 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

Beauty School Drop-Out
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 smile
Beauty school drop-out, no graduation day for you
Beauty school drop-out, missed your midterms
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 highschool
Beauty school drop-out, hangin' around the corner store
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's 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, go back to highschool
Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool
Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool

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 won'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 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, fungu, I'm Sandra Dee
*****
Greased Lightnin'
John Travolta
Well this car is automatic, it's systematic, it's hydromatic
Why it's a greased lightnin'!
We'll get some overhead lifters, and four barrel pods,
Keep talkin', whoah keep talkin'
Fuel injection cut off, and chrome plated rods,
oh yeah I'll get the money, I'll see you get the money
With a four-speed on the floor, we'll be waitin' at the door
You know that ain't shit when 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 crossin' through the hit that trial
Greased lightnin', go greased lightnin'
You are supreme, the chicks'll cream for greased lightnin'
We'll get some purple pitched tail lights
and thirty inch fins, oh yeah
A palomina dashboard and duel muffin' twins, oh yeah
With new boosters, plates and shocks,
I can get her on my rocks
You know that I ain't braggin', she's a real pussy wagon -
greased lightnin'
(chorus x2)

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 running nose and
Aegeatic floe 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 maiden form
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 rigt 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...

Blue Moon
Sha Na Na
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 (Blue moon)

Rock N' Roll Is Here To Stay
Sha Na Na
Rock 'n roll is here to stay, it will never die
It was meant to be that way, though I don't know why
I don't care what people say, rock 'n roll is here to stay
(We don't care what people say, rock 'n roll is here to stay)
Rock 'n roll will always be our ticket to the end
It will go down in history, just you wait, my friend
Rock 'n roll will always be, it'll go down in history
(Rock 'n roll will always be, it'll go down in history)
So come on, everybody rock, everybody rock,
everybody rock, everybody rock
Everybody rock
Now everybody rock 'n roll, everybody rock 'n roll,
everybody rock 'n roll
Everybody rock 'n roll, everybody rock 'n roll
Rock 'n roll will always be our ticket to the end
It will go down in history, just you wait, my friend
Rock 'n roll will always be, it'll go down in history
If you don't like rock 'n roll, think what you've been missin'
But if you like to bop and strawl, come on down and listen
Let's all start to have a ball, everybody rock 'n roll
Ah, oh baby, ah, oh baby, ah,
oh baby, ah, oh baby, rock!

Those Magic Changes
Sha Na Na
What's that playing on the radio,
why do I start swaying to and fro
I have never heard that song before,
but if I don't hear it anymore
It's still familiar to me, sends a thrill right through me
Cause those chords remind me of the night that
I first fell in love to
Those magic changes my heart arranges
A melody that's never the same,
a melody that's calling your name
It begs you please, come back to me
Please, return to me, don't go away again,
oh make them play again
The music I wanna hear is once again,
you whisper in my ear
Oh my darling, aha I'll be waiting by the radio,
you'll come back to me someday, I know
Been so long since our last goodbye, but I'm singin' as I cry
While the bass is sounding, while the drums are pounding
Beatings of my broken heart will rise the first place of the charts
Oh my heart arranges, oh those magic changes,
oooh yeah
*****
Hound Dog
Sha Na Na
You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit,
and you ain't no friend of mine
They said you were high class, honey that was just a lie
Called you all high class, that was just a lie
You ain't never caught a rabbit,
and you ain't no friend of mine
They said you were high class, honey that was just a lie
Called you all high class, that was just a lie
You ain't never caught a rabbit,
and you ain't no friend of mine
You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit,
and you ain't no friend of mine

Born To Hand-Jive
Sha Na Na
Before I was born, late one night,
my papa said everything's alright
The doctor paid, mama laid down,
with a semitone bouncing all around
Cause the beebop stork was about to arrive
Mama gave birth to the hand-jive
I could barely walk when I looked in town,
when I was three, I pushed the fly
While jumping would I move my legs,
and I saw the dance while I gathered
A's Bowed and clapped, I was only five
And I danced '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!

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...)

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 ages 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 (I've found a phone)
I'm lying by myself in bed, I cry and give myself the red eye
Mooning over you I'll stay behind
(you'll stay behind) you mooning forevermore (forevermore)
Someday you'll find (someday we'll find)
me mooning at your front door (at my front door)
Oh, everyday at school I want ya, always will until I got ya
Mooning too (there's a moon up tonight)

Freddy, My Love
Cindy Bullens
Freddy my love, I miss you more than words can say
Freddy my love, please keep in touch while you're away
Hearing from you can make the day so much better
just a souvenier or even a letter
I really flipped over the great cashmere sweater
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love
Freddy you know, your absense makes me feel so blue
That's okay though, your presents make me think of you
Mama will have a heart-attack when she catches
Those little bushes 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 love
Don't keep your letters from me, I quilt 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 drifty, I don't mind
Whoa - Freddy you see,
you'll hold me in your arms someday
(Freddy my love)
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 through your service pay around my confetti,
Freddy my love
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love - ooh Freddy Freddy my love,
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love - ooh Freddy Freddy my love,
Freddy my love, Freddy my love -
I'm ready Freddy my love,
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love - ooh Freddy Freddy my love,
Freddy my love, Freddy my love... (to fade)

Rock N' Roll Party Queen
Louis St. Louis
Rock 'n roll party
Little girl, do you know what I mean?
Pretty soon, she'll be 17
They tell me her name's Mary-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
Pa pa pa pa, oh no, can I have a ball tonight?
Baby baby, can I be the one, to love you
with all of my might?
She's the girl that all the kids love,
they 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
Pa pa pa pa, you should see her shake
Baby baby, don't you call it puppy luck,

Rockin' and rollin', little party queen
We're gonna do the strawl, hey party queen
You know I love you so, my party queen
You're my rockin' and my rollin' party queen

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 neighborhood 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
and then refuse to see it through,
that's the thing I'd never do. I can stay home every night
Wait around for Mr. Right, take cold showers everyday,
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 cry
In fact I'll bet you never knew, but to cry in front of you,
that's the worse thing I could do.

Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise)
Olivia Newton-John
Look at me, there has to be something more
than what they see
Wholesome and pure, oh so scared and unsure,
a poor man's Sandra Dee Sandy,
you must start anew, don't you know what you must do
Hold your head high, take a deep breath and sigh
Goodbye to Sandra Dee
