Click on the piano (also, see Tech Note at bottom)

(boys)
They say it's a man's world, well, that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world without a woman by your side
And so I will wait until that moment you decide___ that

(all)
That I’m your man and you're my girl
That I’m the sea and you're the pearl
It takes two, baby, it takes two__

(boys)
A king ain't a king without the pow'r behind the throne
A prince is a pauper, babe, without a chick to call his own
So please darling, choose me, I don't wanna rule alone___ tell me

(all)
I'm your king and you're my queen
That no one else can come between
It takes two, baby, it takes two__

(all)
Don't you know they say it takes two to tango
But that tango's child's play___
So take me to the dance floor and we'll twist the night away____

(boys)
Just like Frankie Avalon has his favorite Mouseketeer
I dream of a lover, babe, to say the things I want to hear__
So come closer baby, oh and whisper in my ear____

(all-girls answer boys)
That you're my girl and I’m your boy
That you're my pride and I’m your joy
That I’m the sand and you're the tide
I'll be the groom, you'll be my bride
It takes two, baby, it takes two___

(slow) It takes two, baby, it takes two___


I KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN

(solo)
There's a light___ in the darkness___
Though the night is black as my skin___
There's a light burning bright showing me the way___
But I know where I’ve been__

(solo with chorus Ooo’s__)
There's a cry in the distance
It's a voice that comes from deep within
(all) There's a cry asking “why?” I pray the answer's up ahead
'Cause I know where I’ve been

(all to the end)
There's a road we must travel
There's a promise we must make
'Cause the riches will be plenty
Worth the risk, and chances that we take___

There's a dream in the future
There's a struggle we have yet to win
Use that pride in our hearts to lift us to tomorrow___
'Cause just to sit still would be a sin____(I know it, I know it)

I know where I’m going! Lord knows, I know____ where I’ve been____
Oh, when we win_
I'll give thanks to my God, ‘cause I know where I’ve been_____

GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE

Oh, oh, oh, woke up today feeling the way I always do
Oh, oh, oh, hungry for something that I can't eat. Then I hear that beat.
That rhythm of town, starts calling me down,
It's like a message from high above.
Oh, oh, oh, pulling me out to the smiles and the streets that I love.

Good morning Baltimore. Every day's like an open door.
Every night is a fantasy. Every sound's like a symphony.
Good morning Baltimore. And some day when I take (ah__) to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see (and see) Baltimore and me_____

So, oh, oh, give me a chance, 'cause when I start to dance I’m a movie star
Oh, oh, oh, Something inside of me makes me move when I hear the groove

My ma tells me “no,” but my feet tell me “go!”
It's like a drummer inside my heart.
Oh, oh, oh, don't make me wait one more moment for my life to start____
(Good morning, good morning, waiting for my life to start)

I love you Baltimore. Every day's like an open door.
Every night is a fantasy. Every sound's like a symphony.
And I promise Baltimore. that some day when I take (ah__) to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see (and see)
Gonna wake up and see (gonna wake up and see)
Baltimore and me___(yes, more or we all agree)
Baltimore and me________ (Someday the world is gonna see)
Baltimore and_ me________



YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT

You can't stop an avalanche as it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl, but you know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancin’ feet, but I just cannot stand still!
'Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round
And my heart's keepin' time to the speed of the sound.
I was lost till I heard the drums, then I found my way__
'Cause you can't stop the beat

Ever since the whole world began
A woman found out if she shook it, she could shake up a man
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it the best that I can today__
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can wonder, if you wanna, but I never ask why
And if you try to hold me down I’m gonna spit in your eye and say__
‘Cause you can’t stop the beat______________________________

Oh, oh, oh, you can’t stop today, as it comes speeding down the tracks.
Child, yesterday is his’try and it’s never comin’ back.
‘Cause tomorrow is a brand new day and it don’t know white from black.
'Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round
And my heart's keepin' time to the speed of the sound.
I was lost till I heard the drums, then I found my way__
'Cause you can't stop the beat

Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night
So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today___
Cause you cant stop the motion of the ocean, or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise were dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay__
'Cause you can't stop the beat__(Ah)_____Ah_____Ah_____

Come on, you Van Tussles! Go on and shake your fanny muscles!
We can’t, yes you can! No, we can’t. Yes you can! Yes, we can!______
You can't stop the beat.

Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night
So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today__
‘Cause you can’t stop the motion of the ocean, or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise were dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay__
You can’t stop the beat!______
You can’t stop the beat!______
You can’t stop the beat!______
You can’t stop the beat!______
You can’t stop the beat!____________________________________________
