Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la...
Nobody can tell you
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell ya
Cause it hangs 'em up
To see someone like you
You've got to
Make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la...
Sing, sing a song (Sing, sing a song)
Sing out loud (sing out loud)
Sing out strong (sing out strong)
Sing of good things not bad! (Not bad!)
Sing of happy, not sad
Sing, sing a song
Sing a song
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
You just sing
Sing
Just sing
Even if nobody else sings along
You just sing
You just sing
Sing your song!
La, la, la, la, la, la, la...

That was my son's favorite song from Sesame Street. This is one of mine.
Starting here, starting now
When we walk, we walk together
Year by year,
Starting here,
Starting now
When we talk
We will say the most with silence
When we're near
Starting here...
Now, when you sleep
You will dream a dream
That's free from care
For now when you wake
I'll be there
So be still
Take my hand
For the greatest journey
Heaven can allow
Starting love
Starting here,
Starting now
Now take my hand
For the greatest journey
Heaven can allow
Starting love
Starting here,
Starting now!

Don't tell me not to live,
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly,
I simply got to
If someone takes a spill,
It's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out,
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out,
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The Cinderella or the shine apple of its eye
I gotta fly once,
I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy,
Juicy and you see,
I gotta have my bite, sir.
Get ready for me love,
'Cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade,
I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want,
I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot,
One gun shot and bam!
Hey, hey, hey, hey world here I am...
I'll march my band out,
I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out,
Your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me love,
'Cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer
Nobody, no,
Nobody,
Is gonna rain on my parade!

Thank you!
You know this is, I haven't done a concert, in about six years. And it's oh thank you... But it's very exciting I must say, but it's also terribly, terribly scary... ooh, God I wish I was back on the set!
Mmm, I gotta tell you this funny thing. But it's not so funny. But, talking about being scared I was even more scared till I spoke to friends of mine also performers, you know... and they were telling me that they also... uh ... [drinks tea] tastes much better that way! The Japanese said so! Anyway... They told me that in order to conquer their fears, you know, they ... eh well, some of them drink; but I really hate the taste of liquors, so I...you know, I can't do that... And some of them... uh ... take pills; but I can't even swallow aspirin, so I can't do that, But... more important than that... I have found, and I believe, that performers should be very strong, you know, and... you don't know what I'm gonna say... your way ahead of me tonight. It's still illegal? We should face our problems head on!
You know... what I was about to say you see, I have found that the way I conquer my fear of a performance is just to... uhm... you know, talk about it, and you get it out in the open, and you discuss it with a little...excuse me... [sniff] you just, you just talk about it freely and just... everything... and she's... what a fantastic accord you just played... What was that of F minor 7th with a demented pinky on the 5th it was really high.
Since I'm a... I spent a lot of time in Los Angeles... I thought I would dedicate this next song To LA!
On a clear day,
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of
Every mountain, sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A word you've never ever heard before...
And on the clear day...
On the clear day...
You can see forever
And ever
And ever
And ever
More...

I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
Every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the night
Just don't go my way
Wanting you the way I do
I only want to be with you
And I would go to the ends of the Earth
'Cause darling,
To me that's what you're worth
Where you lead,
I will follow
Anywhere,
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely and oh so cold
All you gotta do is call my name
And I'll be there
On the next train
Where you lead,
I will follow
Anywhere you tell me to
If you need,
Need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
I'd always wanted a real home
With flowers on the windowsill
But if you want to live in New York City
Honey, you know I will...
Yes, I will...
Yes, I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction
From just one man
If anyone can keep me happy, oh,
You're the one who can
I'm gonna follow where you lead me
I'm gonna follow where you lead me
I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
Every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hour of the night
Just don't go my way
Oh, a woman in love
Needs sweet inspiration
And honey that's all I ask, you know
That's all I ask from you
I gotta have your sweet inspiration
You know there just ain't no tellin'
What a satisfied woman might do
The way you call me baby, baby...
(Such a sweet inspiration)
The way you call me darling, darling...
(Sets my heart a skating)
And if I'm out in the rain, baby
(And in a bad situation)
You know I just look back in my mind
And there I find your sweet,
sweet inspiration
Inspiration, oh, what a power...
And a bucket of power
Every hour of the day
I need your sweet inspiration
To go on livin'
To keep on givin' this way (sweet, sweet)
Wanting you the way I do...(sweet, sweet)
Only want to be with you...(sweet, sweet)
I'm gonna follow where you lead ...(sweet., sweet)
Baby you're just what I need
Your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet inspiration
That's all I ask , that's all I ask form you
I gotta have your sweet inspiration
You know there just ain't no tellin'
What a satisfied woman can do... ( sweet, sweet)
Oh baby, (sweet, sweet)
Sugar darling, (sweet, sweet)
Oh baby (sweet)
You are my...
You are my
You are my sweet inspiration!

(someone shouting: I love you!) Still uh? Faithful. Wait... wait. If I would have known there were so many people on the two sides here I would have had my nose fixed! Never! These people are too smart...
This time we almost
Made the pieces fit
Didn't we, love?
This time we almost
Made some sense of it
Hum... didn't we, love?
This time
I had the answer
Right here in my hand
Then I touched it
And it had turned to sand
This time we almost
Sang our song in tune
Didn't we, love?
This time we almost
Made it,
Made it to the moon
Oh, didn't we, love?
This time
We almost made a poem rhyme
This time we almost made that love heart climb
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it?
This time...

Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don' t care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright,
All right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more
It cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tired, you bet
But all that I'll soon forget
He's my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
He's my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on
My knees someday
For whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more...

Grazie tante! Listen, I couldn't decide which song to sing next... So .. Wait... no, no, no, it's not as free as that, I have a choice of two, and I'll see... I'll see which one you like best. Wait... wait... wait a minute, let's do it fair. It's between "Stoney End" and "Second Hand Rose". Wait, wait, wait!!! That's too easy, now we've gotta make a choice! Wait, wait wait! Let me do with you, right: "Second Hand Rose"'[applause] "Stoney End" [more applause] Ah... Listen, I just gotta warn ya that "Stoney End" I haven't sung for about two years, and so I have the words written on the floor. So if you see me looking on the floor... it's the words! I'll try not to look, but I mean I haven't sung it for a long time... okay... ready, get set, go! Is this "'Stoney End"! Come on!
I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the Good Book Jesus
Till I read between the lines
Now I don't believe
I want to see the whole morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me,
Mama, cradle me again
I can still remember him
With love light in his eyes
But the light flickered out and parted
As the sun began to rise
Now I don't believe
I want to see the whole morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama, let me start all over
Cradle me,
Mama, cradle me again
Mama, cradle me again
Never mind the forecast
'Cause the sky has lost control
Cause the fury and the broken thunders
Come to match my ragin' soul
And I want... I want...
I want to see the whole morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mamma let me start all over
Cradle me,
Mamma, cradle me again
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go...
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go...
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go...

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
(Oh happy day!)
Altogether shout it now
(Oh happy day!)
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world
About it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on...
Happy days
(Forget your troubles)
Are here again
(Come on get happy)
The skies above
(You gotta chase all your cares away)
Are clear again
(Shout Hallelujah)
So let's sing a song
(Come on get happy)
Happy times
(Happy times)
Happy nights
(Happy nights)
Happy days are here again
(Forget your troubles come on get happy)
Days are here again...

I wanted to say something. And that is that we are all very important people here tonight. And not because we individually are important today, but because we've really done something important, and that is raised 300.000 dollars to hopefully elect the next president of the United States... So I'd like to dedicate this next song to all you very important...
People,
People who need people,
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children,
Needing other children
And yet letting a grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world...
