Make Your Own Kind of Music

Backing Track (no words)

Performance track (with words)

Nobody can tell ya
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell ya
'Cause it hangs them up
To see someone like you

But you gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You're gonna be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough going
Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do

But you gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

So if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be going, I will understand

You gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

Hey Jude

Backing track (without words)

Performance track (with words)

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.

You were made to go out and get her.

The minute you let her under your skin,

Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.

You have found her, now go and get her.

Remember to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,

You're waiting for someone to perform with.

And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,

The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her under your skin,

Then you'll begin to make it

Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude...

Gospel Medley

Backing (without words)

Performance (with words)

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.

Oh, when the saints, go marching in,
Oh, when the saints, go marching in,
I wanna be in that number,
Oh when the saints go marching in.

I’m gonna sing, sing, sing,
I’m gonna dance, dance, dance,

When the gates are open wide
I’ll be standing by your side,

Three Little Birds

Don’t worry
About a thing,
’Cos ev’ry little thing
’Sgonna be alright.

Singin’ don’t worry
About a thing
’Cos ev’ry little thing

Rise up this morning,
Smile with the rising sun,
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Singin’, ‘This is my message to you.’

Singin’ don’t worry

True Colours

Backing (without words)

Performance (with words)

You with the sad eyes,
Don't be discouraged,
Oh, I realize
It's hard to take courage.
In a world full of people,
You can lose sight of it all,
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small.

But I see your true colors shining through.
I see your true colors, that's why I love you.
So don't be afraid to let them show.
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow.

Show me a smile then.
Don't be unhappy,
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing.
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up,
Because you know I'll be there.

But I see your true colors shining through.
I see your true colors, that's why I love you.
So don't be afraid to let them show.
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow.

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear,
You call me up,
Because you know I'll be there.

And I'll see your true colors shining through.
I see your true colors, that's why I love you.
So don't be afraid to let them show.
Your true colors, true colors,
True colors are shining through.
See your true colors, and that's why I love you.
So don't be afraid to let them show.
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow.

Zoo

Backing (without words)

Come on, get on up

We're wild and we can't be tamed

And we're turnin' the floor into

A zoo, ooh, ooh

We live in a crazy world, caught up in a rat race

Concrete jungle life is sometimes a mad place

It's you and me together at the end of a wild day

Don't keep it all bottled up, and release your energy

Hey, oh-ayy, only reason we are here is to celebrate

In a place where anyone can be anything

Hold on to this moment, don't let it fade away

Baby, keep the music playin'

Come on, get on up

We're wild and we can't be tamed

And we're turnin' the floor into

A zoo, ooh, ooh

Come on, keep it up

It's fun if you're down to play

And we're turnin' the floor into

A zoo, ooh, ooh

Hop-ah, hop-ah, oh

We live in a heated time, no chance to cool down

Continuously confined, and what do we do now?

It's all about finding love, sometimes hard to come by

But when it comes to us, it's always a good time

Hey, oh-ayy, only reason we are here is to celebrate

In a place where anyone can be anything

Hold on to this moment, don't let it fade away

Baby, keep the music playin'

Come on, get on up

We're wild and we can't be tamed

And we're turnin' the floor into

A zoo, ooh, ooh

Come on, keep it up

It's fun if you're down to play

And we're turnin' the floor into

A zoo, ooh, ooh

Sky Full of Stars

Backing (without words)

Performance (with words)

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

I'm gonna give you my heart

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

'Cause you light up the path

I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh

'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars

I think I saw you

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

I wanna die in your arms,

'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark

I'm gonna give you my heart,

I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh

'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars

I think I see you

'Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars

Such a heavenly view

You're such a heavenly view

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh

Africa

Backing (without words)

Performance (with words)

I Hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

She's comin' in, 12:30 flight

Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way

Hopin' to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies

He turned to me as if to say

"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had,

The wild dogs cry out in the night

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company

I know that I must do what's right

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside

Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh-hoo

Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh-hoo

Revolting Children

Backing (without words)

Performance (with words)

Whoa!

Never again will she get the best of me

Never again will she take away my freedom

And we won't forget the day we fought

For the right to be a little bit naughty!

Never again will the chokey door slam

Never again will I be bullied and

Never again will I doubt it when

My mummy says I'm a miracle

Never again now that we know that we are

Revolting children

Living in revolting times

We sing revolting songs

Using revolting rhymes

We'll be revolting children

Til our revolting's done

And we'll have the Trunchbull bolting

We're revolting!

We are revolting children

Living in revolting times

We sing revolting songs

Using revolting rhymes

We'll be revolting children

'Til our revolting's done

And we'll have the Trunchbull bolting

We're revolting!

We will become a screaming horde!

Take out your hockey stick and use it as a sword

Never again will we be ignored

We'll find out where the chalk is stored

And draw rude pictures on the board

It's not insulting

We're revolting!

We can S-P-el how we like!

If enough of us are wrong, wrong is right!

Everyone! N-O-R-T-Y?

we're a little bit naughty!

You say we oughta stay inside the line

if we disobey at the same time

There is nothing that the Trunchbull can do

She can take her hammer and S-H

You didn’t think you could push us too far

Now theres no going back cuz we - - -

R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N

U-S-I-N-G

We'll be R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G

It is 2-L-8-4-U-E-R-E-vol-ting!

We are revolting children

Living in revolting times

We sing revolting songs

Using revolting rhymes

We'll be revolting children

Til our revolting's done

It is 2-L-8-4-U

We are revolting children

Living in revolting times

We sing revolting songs

Using revolting rhymes

We'll be revolting children

'Til our revolting's done

It is 2-L-8-4-U

We are revolting!

No Such Thing As Normal

Performance (with words)

Backing (without words)

Can you sing like no-one's listening?

Can you dance like no-one's watching?

Can you give like no-one's counting?

Can you laugh like no-one's judging?

Because there's no such thing as normal around here

Everyone's a little bit (...)

And a little bit (...)

You know there's no such thing as normal around here

You have to be a little bit (...)

To be a little bit (...)

If you want to be a superhero

(You've got to wear your pants on the outside)

And to be a Hollywood Rockstar

(You've got to have nothing to hide)

If there's a lightning storm in your way

You need an electric umbrella

You can wear yellow and black everyday

(Well, it's good enough for Batman!)

Because there's no such thing as normal around here

Everyone's a little bit (...)

And a little bit (...)

You know there's no such thing as normal around here

You have to be a little bit (...)

To be a little bit (...)

Don't you want to know my name?

You think we're not the same

But everyone's the same

You should have a dance in my shoes

I'm sure you will agree you could be more like me!

If you meet me where I am

(We will meet you where you are)

You'll see there's nothing to be scared of

(Or is there???)

Because there's no such thing normal around here

Everyone's a little bit (...) And a little bit (...)

You know there's no such thing as normal around here

You have to be a little bit (...) To be a little bit (...)

Everyones a little bit (...) And a little bit (...)

It's good to be a little bit (...) And a little bit (...) Weird!
