Y. M. C. A. Village People (#2,1979)
YOUNG MAN THERE'S NO NEED TO FEEL DOWN
I SAID YOUNG MAN PICK YOURSELF OFF THE GROUND
I SAID YOUNG MAN 'CAUSE YOU'RE IN A NEW TOWN
THERE'S NO NEED TO BE UNHAPPY
YOUNG MAN THERE'S A PLACE YOU CAN GO
I SAID YOUNG MAN WHEN YOU'RE SHORT ON YOUR DOUGH
YOU CAN STAY THERE AND I'M SURE YOU WILL FIND
MANY WAYS TO HAVE A GOOD TIME
CHORUS:
IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE Y. M. C. A.
IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE Y. M. C. A.
THEY HAVE EVERYTHING FOR YOUNG MEN TO ENJOY
YOU CAN HANG OUT WITH ALL THE BOYS
IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE Y. M. C. A.
IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE Y. M. C. A.
YOU CAN GET YOURSELF CLEAN, YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD MEAL
YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU FEEL
YOUNG MAN ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME
I SAID YOUNG MAN WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE
I SAID YOUNG MAN YOU CAN MAKE REAL YOUR DREAMS
BUT YOU GOT TO KNOW THIS ONE THING
NO MAN DOES IT ALL BY HIMSELF
I SAID YOUNG MAN PUT YOUR PRIDE ON THE SHELF
AND JUST GO THERE TO THE Y. M. C. A.
I'M SURE THEY CAN HELP YOU TODAY (chorus)
YOUNG MAN I WAS ONCE IN YOUR SHOES
I SAID YOUNG MAN DOWN AND OUT WITH THE BLUES
I BET NO MAN CARED IF I WERE ALIVE
I FELT THE WHOLE WORLD WAS SO JIVE
THAT'S WHEN SOMEONE CAME UP TO ME
AND SAID YOUNG MAN TAKE A WALK UP THE STREET
IT'S A PLACE THERE CALLED THE Y. M. C. A.
THEY CAN START YOU BACK ON YOUR WAY (chorus)

YOU BELONG TO ME Duprees (#2,1962)
SEE THE PYRAMIDS ALONG THE NILE
WATCH A SUNSET ON A TROPIC ISLE
JUST REMEMBER DARLING ALL THE WHILE
YOU BELONG TO ME
SEE THE MARKET PLACE IN OLD ALGIERS
SEND THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND SOUVENIRS
JUST REMEMBER WHEN A DREAM APPEARS
THAT YOU BELONG TO ME
CHORUS:
I'LL BE SAD AND LONELY
WITHOUT YOU
MAYBE YOU'LL BE LONELY
TOO AND BLUE
CROSS THE OCEAN IN A SILVER PLANE
SEE THE JUNGLES WHEN THEY'RE WET WITH RAIN
JUST REMEMBER TILL I'M HOME AGAIN
THAT YOU BELONG TO ME
SEE THE PYRAMIDS ALONG THE NILE
WATCH A SUNSET ON A TROPIC ISLE
JUST REMEMBER DARLING ALL THE WHILE
THAT YOU BELONG TO ME

YOU CAN CALL ME AL Paul Simon, 1986 (#23)
A MAN WALKS DOWN THE STREET
HE SAYS, "WHY AM I SOFT IN THE MIDDLE NOW
WHY AM I SOFT IN THE MIDDLE--THE REST OF MY LIFE IS SO HARD
I NEED A PHOTO-OPPORTUNITY--I WANT A SHOT AT REDEMPTION
DON'T WANT TO END UP A CARTOON IN A CARTOON GRAVEYARD
BONE DIGGER, BONE DIGGER--DOGS IN THE MOONLIGHT
FAR AWAY MY WELL-LIT DOOR
MR. BEERBELLY, BEERBELLY, GET THESE MUTTS AWAY FROM ME
YOU KNOW I DON'T FIND THIS STUFF AMUSING ANYMORE"
CHORUS (after each verse):
IF YOU'LL BE MY BODYGUARD I CAN BE YOUR LONG-LOST PAL
I CAN CALL YOU BETTY, AND BETTY WHEN YOU CALL ME
YOU CAN CALL ME AL
A MAN WALKS DOWN THE STREET--HE SAYS "WHY AM I SHORT OF ATTENTION
GOT A SHORT LITTLE SPAN OF ATTENTION
AND WHOA MY NIGHTS ARE SO LONG
WHERE'S MY WIFE AND FAMILY, WHAT IF I DIE HERE
WHO'LL BE MY ROLE-MODEL NOW THAT MY ROLE-MODEL IS GONE GONE
HE DUCKED BACK DOWN THE ALLEY
WITH SOME ROLY-POLY LITTLE BAT-FACED GIRL
ALL ALONG, ALONG THERE WERE INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS
THERE WERE HINTS AND ALLEGATIONS
A MAN WALKS DOWN THE STREET--IT'S A STREET IN A STRANGE WORLD
MAYBE IT'S THE THIRD WORLD--MAYBE IT'S HIS FIRST TIME AROUND
DOESN'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE--HE HOLDS NO CURRENCY
HE IS A FOREIGN MAN--HE IS SURROUNDED BY THE SOUND, THE SOUND
CATTLE IN THE MARKETPLACE, SCATTERLINGS AND ORPHANAGES
HE LOOKS AROUND, AROUND--HE SEES ANGELS IN THE ARCHITECTURE
SPINNING IN INFINITY--HE SAYS AMEN, HALLELUJAH
ENDING (chorus progression):
IF YOU'LL BE MY BODYGUARD
I CAN CALL YOU BETTY
IF YOU'LL BE MY BODYGUARD
I CAN CALL YOU BETTY . . .

YOU MAY BE RIGHT Billy Joel, 1980 (#7)
FRIDAY NIGHT I CRASHED YOUR PARTY, SATURDAY I SAID I'M SORRY
SUNDAY CAME AND TRASHED ME OUT AGAIN
I WAS ONLY HAVING FUN, WASN'T HURTING ANYONE
AND WE ALL ENJOYED THE WEEKEND FOR A CHANGE
I'VE BEEN STRANDED IN THE COMBAT ZONE
I WALKED THROUGH BEDFORD STUY ALONE
EVEN RODE MY MOTORCYCLE IN THE RAIN
AND YOU TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE BUT I MADE IT HOME ALONE
SO YOU SAID THAT ONLY PROVES THAT I'M INSANE
CHORUS:
YOU MAY BE RIGHT--I MAY BE CRAZY
BUT IT JUST MAY BE A LUNATIC YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
TURN OUT THE LIGHT--DON'T TRY TO SAVE ME
YOU MAY BE WRONG FOR ALL I KNOW BUT YOU MAY BE RIGHT
REMEMBER HOW I FOUND YOU THERE ALONE IN YOU ELECTRIC CHAIR
I TOLD YOU DIRTY JOKES UNTIL YOU SMILED
YOU WERE LONELY FOR A MAN, I SAID TAKE ME AS I AM
'CAUSE YOU MIGHT ENJOY SOME MADNESS FOR AWHILE
NOW THINK OF ALL THE YEARS YOU TRIED TO
FIND SOMEONE TO SATISFY YOU
I MIGHT BE AS CRAZY AS YOU SAY
IF I'M CRAZY THEN IT'S TRUE--THAT IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
AND YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME ANY OTHER WAY (chorus x2 & end)
ENDING:
YOU MAY BE WRONG BUT YOU MAY BE RIGHT . . .

YOUR MAMA DON'T DANCE AND YOUR DADDY DON'T ROCK AND ROLL
YOUR MAMA DON'T DANCE AND YOUR DADDY DON'T ROCK AND ROLL
WHEN PEOPLE COME AROUND AND IT'S TIME TO GO TO TOWN
WHERE DO YOU GO TO ROCK AND ROLL
THE OLD FOLKS SAY THAT YOU GOTTA END YOUR DATE BY TEN
