Consider Yourself [Oliver]Consider yourself at home. Consider yourself one of the family. We've taken to you so strong. It's clear we're going to get along.
Consider yourself well in Consider yourself part to the furniture. There isn't a lot to spare. Who cares?. What ever we've got we
share! If it should chance to be We should see Some harder days Empty larder days Why grouse? Always a chance we'll meet
Somebody To foot the bill Chorus: Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate. We don't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state... Consider yourself One of us!

Solos: Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there She would
merengue and do the cha-cha And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar Across a crowded floor, they worked
from 8 till 4 They were young and they had each other Who could ask for more?

Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa....Solo: they fell in love
Solos: His name was Rico, he wore a diamond He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there And when she finished, he
called her over But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot But just who shot who?
Chorus: At the Copa, Copacabana The hottest spot north of Havana At the Copa,
Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa....Solo: don't fall in love
One Singular Sensation [A Chorus Line]
Chorus: One singular sensation
Every little step she takes.
One thrilling combination
Every move that she makes.One smile and suddenly
nobody else will do;
You know you'll never be lonely with you know who.
One moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest.
For the girl is second best To none, Son.
Ooooh! Sigh! Give her your attention.
Do...I...really have to mention?
She's the One?
Counter-Melody:
She walks into a room
And you know you must
Shuffle along, join the parade.
She's the quintessence of
making the grade.
This is whatcha call Trav-ling.Oh, strut your stuff!
Can't get enough Of her.
Love her. I'm a son of a gun,
She is one of a kind
