Right away you're making time and making friends No one cares where you were yesterday If they pick you out you're on your way To a once upon a time that never ends So, Oliver, don't be shy Get out there, let go and try Believing that you're the guy They're dying to see 'Cause a dream's no crime Not once upon a time Once upon a time in New York City If it's always once upon a time In New York City Why does nightfall find you feeling so alone? How could anyone stay starry eyed When it's raining cats and dogs outside And the rain is saying, "Now you're on your own"? So, Oliver, don't be scared Though yesterday no one cared They're getting your place prepared Where you want to be Keep your dream alive Dreaming is still how the strong survive Once upon a time in New York City Keep your dream alive Dreaming is still how the strong survive Once upon a time in New York City Keep your dream alive Dreaming is still how the strong survive Once upon a time in New York City And it's always once upon a time In New York City :::::::::::::: oliver/perfect :::::::::::::: Perfect Isn't Easy From "Oliver & Company" Music: Barry Manilow Lyrics: Jack Feldman & Bruce Sussman Performed by: Bette Midler [Georgette] Girl, we've got work to do Pass me the paint and glue Perfect isn't easy But it's me When one knows the world is watching One does what one must Some minor adjustments, darling Not for my vanity But for humanity Each little step a pose See how the breeding shows Sometimes it's too much for even me But when all the world says, "Yes" Then who am I to say "No"? Don't ask a mutt to strut like a show girl No, girl, you need a pro Not a flea or a flaw Take a peek at that paw La la la la Perfection becomes me, nest ce pas? Unrivaled, unruffled I'm beauty unleashed Yeah! Jarred rock, hard stock So classc and classy We're not talking Lassie And Ah! Ah! Ooo. . . Tho' many covet my bone and bowl They're barking up the wrong tree You pretty pups all over the city I have your hearts and you have my pity Pretty is nice but still It's just pretty Perfect, my dears Is me :::::::::::::: oliver/streets :::::::::::::: Streets of Gold From "Oliver & Company" Music: Tom Snow Lyrics: Dean Pitchford Performed by: Ruth Pointer [Rita] Now listen up You've got a lot to learn And if you don't learn you don't eat But if you're tough And always use your head You'll feel right at home on the street When you've got talent ev'rything is free Watch how we do things, oooh, I guarantee You're gonna see how the best survive We make an art out of staying alive If you do just as you're told These are streets of gold Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile You'll take the town and you'll take it with style If you play it brave and bold These are streets of gold To live from week to week You need technique So you practice ev'ry day The only rule is: Thou shalt not get caught Get what you can and then get away Remember all the places you can hide Remember we are always on your side You're gonna see how the best survive We make an art out of staying alive If you do just as you're told These are streets of gold Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile You'll take the town and you'll take it with style If you play it brave and bold These are streets of gold When you've got talent ev'rything is free Watch how you do things, oooh, I guarantee You're gonna see how the best survive We make an art out of staying alive If you do just as you're told These are streets of gold Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile You'll take the town and you'll take it with style If you play it brave and bold These are streets of gold :::::::::::::: oliver/whyshould :::::::::::::: Why Should I Worry? From "Oliver & Company" Music & Lyrics: Dan Hartman & Charlie Midnight Performed by: Billy Joel [Dodger] One minute I'm in Central Park Then I'm down on Delancey Street From the Bow'ry to St Marks There's a syncopated beat Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo I'm streetwise I can improvise Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo I'm streetsmart I've got New York City heart Why should I worry? Why should I care? I may not have a dime But I got street savoire faire Why should I worry? Why should I care? It's just bebopulation And I got street saviore faire The rhythm of the city But once you get it down Then you can own this town You can wear the crown Why should I worry? Why should I care? I may not have a dime But I got street savoire faire Why should I worry? Why should I care? It's just bebopulation And I got street saviore faire Ev'rything goes Ev'rything fits They love me at the Chelsea They adore me at the Ritz Why should I worry? Why should I care? And even when I cross that line I got street savoire faire Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
