LYRICAL SONG BOOK
OPENING BEACH MONTAGE : LOVE IS A MANY
SPLENDORED THING, INSTRUMENTAL
1. GREASE (IS THE WORD)
[Verse 1]
I saw my problems, and I'll see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger, we can go too far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
They think our love is just a growin' pain
Why don't they understand? It's just a cryin' shame
Their lips are lyin', only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel
Grease is the word
[Chorus]
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now Grease is the way we are feeling
[Verse 2]
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now Grease is the way we are feeling
[Bridge]
This is a life of illusion, wrapped up in trouble
Laced with confusion - what're we doin' here?
[Verse 3]
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now Grease is the way we are feeling
[Drum Break instrumental]
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now Grease is the way we are feeling
[Outro, gets quieter]
Grease is the word
Is the word, is the word
Is the word, is the word
Is the word, is the word
Is the word, is the word

6. HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU
[Verse 1]
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you
[Verse 2]
You know, I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby, can't you see
There's nothing else for me to do?
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
[Chorus]
But now there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
[Verse 3]
My head is saying, "Fool, forget him"
My heart is saying, "Don't let go
Hold on 'til the end"
And that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
[Chorus]
But now there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
7. BEAUTY SCHOOL DROP OUT / Angels
harmonise
[Intro: Frankie Avalon - or Vince Fontaine?]
Your story, is sad to tell
A teenage ne'er do well
Most mixed up, non-delinquent on the block
Your future's so unclear now
What's left of your career now?
Can't even get a trade-in on your smock
[Angels ENTER]
La, lala, la, lala, la, lala, la
La, lala, la, lala
La, lala, la, lala
La, lala, la, la, la, La
Beauty school dropout
No graduation day for you
Beauty school dropout
Missed your midterms and flunked shampoo
Well, at least you could have taken time
To wash and clean your clothes up
After spending all that dough you had
The doctor could fix your nose up!
Baby, get moving (ANGELS : Better get movin')
Why keep your feeble hopes alive?
What are you proving?
(ANGELS: What are you proving'?)
You've got the dream, but not the drive!
If you go for your diploma, you could join a steno
pool. Turn in your afro' comb and go back to high
school
[Verse 2: Frankie Avalon (Angels)
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
Hangin' around the corner store
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
It's about time you knew the score!
Well they couldn't teach you anything
You think you're such a looker
But no customer would go to you unless she was a…
(THE ANGELS COVER HIS MOUTH, or use a
glaxon/honk)!
Baby don't sweat it (Don't sweat it)
You're not cut out to hold a job
Better forget it (Forget it)
Who wants their hair done by a slob?
Now your bangs are curled,
your lashes whirled
But still the world is cruel
Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school
[Verse 3: Frankie Avalon]
Baby don't blow it
Don't put my good advice to shame
Baby you know it
Even Dear Abby'd (Viola) says the same!
Now I've called the shot,
Get off, YOU LOT (POINTS to Angels)
I really gotta fly!
Gotta be going to that malt shop, in the sky! WINKS
[Outro: Frankie Avalon (Angels fade out 1x 1 )]
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
8. BORN TO HAND JIVE *SING ALONG
ORIGINAL
Before I was born, late one night
My papa said everything's alright
The doctor paid, mama laid down
With a semitone bouncing all around
Cause the bebop stork was about to arrive
Mama gave birth to the hand-jive
I could barely walk when I milked a cow
When I was three I pushed a plough
While chopping wood I moved my legs
And they saw me dancing when I gathered eggs
The townsfolk clapped, I was only five
And I danced 'em all, he's born to hand-jive
[Chorus 1]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah - everybody
Born to hand-jive, baby
Born to hand-jive, baby - yeah
[Bridge]
How low can you go, how low can you go
How low can you go, how low can you go
Higher, higher, higher and higher
[Chorus 2]
Now can you hand-jive, baby, oh can you hand-jive,
baby, Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah , Born to
hand-jive, oh yeah
9. SANDY
Stranded at the drive in, branded a fool
What will they say, Monday at school?
Sandy, can't you see? I'm in misery
We made a start, now we're apart
There's nothin' left for me
Love has flown all alone
I sit and wonder
Why yi-yi-yi
oh why you left me?
Oh Sandy!
Oh Sandy, maybe someday, when hi-i-yigh school is
done, Somehow, someway, our two worlds will be
one
In heaven forever and ever we will be
Oh please say you'll stay, oh Sandy
[Spoken words]
Sandy my darling', I hurt YOU real bad
I know it's true.
But baby, you gotta believe me when I say
I'm helpless without you!
Love has flown all alone
I sit, I wonder why-yi-yi-oh why you left me, oh
Sandy
Sandy-e,
Sandy-ee!
Why-yi-yi-yi
Oh Sandy….
10.SANDRA DEE REPRISE
Look at me, there has to be
Something more than what they see
Wholesome and pure
but so scared and unsure
A poor man's Sandra Dee
Sandy, you must start anew
Don't you know what you must do?
Hold your head high
Take a deep breath and sigh
"Goodbye to Sandra Dee..."
11.YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT
[Verse 1: Danny]
I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying!
[Pre-Chorus: Sandy & Danny]
You better shape up, 'cause I need a FRIEND
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart, I must be true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
[Chorus: Danny & Sandy (Cast)]
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes indeed)
[Verse 2: Sandy]
If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
COME MY WAY (Danny - WOW!
[Pre-Chorus: Danny & Sandy]
I better shape up, cause you need a FRIEND
I need a FRIEND who can keep me SMILING WIDE
I better shape up if I'm gonna prove
You better prove, that my faith is justified
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure, down deep inside [Both]
[Chorus: Danny & Sandy (Cast)]
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes indeed)
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, the one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes indeed)
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Oo-oo-oo, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
