Introduction: (spoken)Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. BrownAnd things seem sad or toughAnd people are useless, or obnoxious, or daft,And you feel that you’ve had quite enough...

[G7] Just re- [C]-member that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving revolving at nine-hundred miles an [G7] hour and orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned, a sun that is the source of all our [C] power. Now the sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see Are [A7] moving a million miles a [F] day In an [F7] outer spiral arm at forty [C] thousand miles an hour of the [G7] galaxy we call the Milky [C] Way.

[C]Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars, it’s a hundred thousand light-years side to [G7] side, it bulges in the middle, sixty thousand light-years thick, but out by us it’s just three thousand light-years [C] wide. We’re thiry thousand light-years from galactic central point We go [A7] ’round every two hundred million [F] years, and our [F7] galaxy is only one of [C] millions of billions in this A[G7]mazing and Expanding Uni[C]verse!

[C]The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding in all of the directions it can [G7]whiz, as fast as it can go, the speed of light, y’know, twelve million miles a minute, and that’s the [C]fastest speed there is, So remember when you’re feeling very small and insecure How a[A7]mazingly unlikely is your [F]birth, And [F7]pray that there’s intelligent life [C]somewhere up in space, ‘cause I’m (G7) afraid that we’ve been cheated here on (C) Earth!Note: ‘Cause there’s [G7]bugger-all down here on [C]Earth. - original last line

IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON w. E.Y. Harburg, Billy Rose m. Harold Arlen

4/4 1…2…1234

Say, it’s only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea

But it wouldn’t be make believe if you believed in me.

Yes, it’s only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree

But it wouldn’t be make believe if you believed in me.

Without your love, it’s a honky-tonk parade.

Without your love, it’s a melody played in a penny arcade.

It’s a Barnum and Bailey world, just as phony as it can be

But it wouldn’t be make believe if you believed………. if you believed………., 8 8

MOONDANCE 4/4 1...2...123 (without intro)

Intro:

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance with the stars up a-bove in your eyes

A fan-tabulous night to make romance 'neath the cover of October skies

And all the leaves on the trees are falling to the sound of the breezes that blow

Yeah, and I'm trying to please to the calling of your heart-strings that play soft and low

You know the night's magic seems to whisper and hush

And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Can I just have one more moon-dance with you, my love

Can I just make some more ro-mance with you, my love

p.2 Moondance

Well I wanna make love to you tonight, I can't wait till the morning has come

Yeah, and I know now the time is just right, and straight into my arms you will run

And when you come my heart will be waiting to make sure you're never a-lone

There and then all my dreams will come true, dear, there and then I will make you my own

And every time I touch you, you just tremble in-side

And I know how much you want me that you can't hide

Can I just have one more moon-dance with you, my love

Can I just make some more ro-mance with you, my love

Can I just have one more moon-dance with you, my love

"Yoda" -- "Weird Al" Yankovic

E

I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah

A D

Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated

E A

Soda S-O-D-A soda

E

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log

A D

I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said

E A D C D E

Yoda Y-O-D-A Yoda Yo yo yo yo Yoda

E

Well I've been around but I ain't never seen

A D

A guy who looks like a Muppet but he's wrinkled and green

E A

Oh my Yoda yo yo yo yo Yoda

E

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand

A D

How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand

E A D C D E

Oh my Yoda yo yo yo yo Yoda yo yo yo yo Yoda

B7

Well I left home just a week before

F#7

And I never ever been a Jedi before

A

But Obi-wan, he set me straight of course

A

He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force."

E

Well, I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben

A D

So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again with my

E A D C D E

Yoda yo yo yo yo Yoda yo yo yo yo Yoda

E A D C D E

Yoda yo yo yo yo Yoda yo yo yo yo Yoda

A E B

So I used the Force

A E B

I picked up a box

A E B

I lifted some rocks

E G#7 C#m

While I stood on my head

B B6

But I won't forget what Yoda said

E

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side,

A D

And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide."

E A

Oh, my Yoda yo yo yo yo Yoda

E

I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed

E A

Oh, my Yoda yo yo yo yo Yoda

B7

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess

F#7

So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess

A

But I know that I'll be coming back some day

I'll be playing this part till I'm old and gray

The long-term contract I had to sign

Swinging on a Star Page 1 of 1

Swinging on a Star

E7 A7

Would you like to swing on a star

Am7 D7 G

Carry moonbeams home in a jar E7 A7

And be better off than you are Am7 D7 G

Or would you rather be a mule?

G C G C A mule is an animal with long funny ears G C G

He kicks up at anything he hears

A7 D His back is brawny and his brain is weak

Em7 A7 D D7

He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak

G C G E7

And by the way, if you hate to go to school

Am7 D7 G

You may grow up to be a mule

E7 A7

Or would you like to swing on a star

Am7 D7 G

Carry moonbeams home in a jar

E7 A7

And be better off than you are

Am7 D7 G

Or would you rather be a pig?

G C G C

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face

G C G

His shoes are a terrible disgrace

A7 D

He’s got no manners when he eats his food

Em7 A7 D D7

He's fat and lazy and extremely rude

G C G E7

But if you don't care a feather or a fig

Am7 D7 G

You may grow up to be a pig

E7 A7

Or would you like to swing on a star

Am7 D7 G

Carry moonbeams home in a jar

E7 A7

And be better off than you are

Am7 D7 G

Or would you rather be a fish?

KAZOOS (verse)

G C G C

A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook

G C G

He can't write his name or read a book

A7 D

To fool the people is his only thought

Em7 A7 D D7

And though he's slippery, he still gets caught

G C G E7

But then if that sort of life is what you wish

Am7 D7 G

You may grow up to be a fish

E7 A7

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo

Am7 D7 G

Every day you meet quite a few

E7 A7

So you see it's all up to you

Am7 D7 G

You can be better than you are

Am7 D7 G

You could be swinging on a star

Ship  of  Stone  Words  and  Music  ©1981  Don  Simpson  

 Am     E   F  E  Once  there  was  a  Ship  of  Stone     Am     G  That  orbited  a  mighty  star     Am     G     Am     F     G     Am  And  from  it  flew  the  first  ship's  crew    

F     G     Am  Whose  children  we  all  are;  

C     G  And  no  matter  how  long    we've  drawn  our  track,     Am     E  Still  over  our  shoulder,  looking  back     Am   Dm     Am   E   Am  Through  the  hydrogen's  hiss  and  the  methane's  moan,       G     Am     G     F  Past  the  polymer  clouds  of  the  dead  stars'  shrouds,       Am     G     Am     F     G     Am  All  our  roads  run  back  to  the  Ship  of  Stone.    There  the  first  crew  all  were  made    And  wakened  from  unknowing  sleep    To  the  boundless  sight  of  Heaven's  height    And  the  fires  on  the  deep;    And  no  matter  how  strange    the  forms  we  wear,    How  warped  and  wild,  how  rich  and  rare,    How  changed  we've  made  the  seed  we've  sown;    We  are  blood  of  those  who  singing  rose    From  the  body  of  the  Ship  of  Stone.    There  our  own  ships'  frames  were  formed    To  grow  blue  glowing  wings,    And  spread  them  wide  to  the  farthest  tide    Where  the  last,  lone  beacon  sings;    And  no  matter  how  tight  the  net  they  knot    Of  our  web  where  the  wheel  of  light  is  caught,    How  strange  and  lost,  How  grand  they've  grown,    They  too  desire  all  Heaven's  fire:    Our  companions  since  the  Ship  of  Stone.    Once  there  was  a  Ship  of  Stone,    Clear-­‐domed,  broad-­‐hulled,  and  clean,    Where  the  air  shone  blue,    Through  whose  holds  birds  flew,    Whose  decks  were  growing  green;    And  no  matter  how  odd    these  things  may  seem,    As  madly  mazed  as  shards  of  a  dream,    They  are  not  a  dream  that  you  dream  alone-­‐-­‐-­‐    All  ships,  all  men  are  of  one  kin;    We  shall  not  forget  the  Ship  of  Stone.

Star Pilot’s Hymn by Aislinn the Bard copyright ©1985 by Anne Harlan Prather Dm C F C Dm My starship rides on wings of joy Bb F C Her myriad courses 'round Dm C F C Dm The galaxy and her suns so free Gm C Dm With mystic song resound. F C And I am part and parcel

Bb Asus4 A (2200 2100) Of the Universe at play Dm C F C Dm The winds of space are in my soul Gm C Dm And among the stars I'll stay. I know no love but in her arms No one may claim my soul The love I bear for my ship so fair Is all that keeps me whole. And I'll take no human lover Save one who knows full well That I love the stars and the song they sing More than human words can tell. I know no home but in the stars No planet calls me here. My home is space whose joy and grace Casts out my remnant fear. And though the primal calling Of Earth may be quite strong Though I may long for Earth I've been called since birth By the stars' sweet haunting song. Oh, I am free in space and time Eternity's my friend. Though my heart may cease her living beat My life will never end. My spirit joins the chorus Of the Universe at play. The winds of space are my time and place And among the stars I'll stay.

FLY ME TO THE MOON Words & Music by Bart Howard

4/4 1…2…1 2 3 4

Fly me to the moon And let me play among the stars,

Let me see what spring is like On Jup-iter and Mars;

In other words, hold my hand; In other words, darling, kiss me.

Fill my heart with song, And let me sing for ever more;

You are all I long for, All I wor-ship and adore.

In other words, please be true;

1. In other words, I love you. (repeat)

2. In other words, I love you. 4 4 4

The Vamp of Centauri lyrics by Blind Lemming Chiffon (approx. 1982)

(Tune: Hard-Hearted Hannah by Milton Ager, from the recording by Cliff “Ukulele Ike” Edwards) C G7 C A7 Alpha Centauri, Alpha Centauri, D7 (2223) All of its suns are nice and warm. G7 The climate’s nice, if somewhat bland, C A7 D7 G7 But there’s just one thing I can’t understand: C G7 C A7 They’ve got a gal there, at least one gal there, D7 She’s colder than a meteor swarm. F Dim (2323) C A7 She’s got a heart like a frozen clone. D7 G7 All the spacemen let her alone. C A7 added note(2132) I want to go on safari with the vamp of Centauri, D7 The meanest gal in space. G7 Titanium is tough, but this gal’s heart is tougher. C A7 D7 G7 She’s the kind that makes the wookies cry and scream and suffer. C C7 She’ll tease ’em, excite ’em, then injure and bite ’em, F E7 But they always come back for more. F Dim (2323 or 5656) An evening spent with this gal sitting on your lap C A7 D7 G7 Is like warping into hyperspace without a map. C A7 I’ll never be sorry I love the vamp of Centauri, D7 G7 C The meanest gal in space. My eyes are gettin’ starry over the vamp of Centauri, The coldest gal in space. Talk about your cold, sadistic cryogenic ladies: She makes liquid nitrogen seem twice as hot as Hades. She’ll lure ’em and thrill ’em, then maybe she’ll kill ’em, Or have ’em send out for pizza. Her glance could make you want to go to Pluto on vacation. Just one kiss will put you in suspended animation. I’d even trade my Atari for the vamp of Centauri, The meanest gal in space.
