“All the Gold in California” by Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers

All the gold in California
Is in the bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else’s name.
So if you’re dreamin’ about California,

It don’t matter at all where you’ve played before.
California’s a brand-new game.

Tryin’ to be a hero, winding up a zero,
Can scar a man forever right down to your soul.
Living on the spotlight can kill a man outright
‘Cause everything that glitters is not gold.

All the gold in California
Is in the bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else’s name.
So if you’re dreamin’ about California,
It don’t matter at all where you’ve played before.
California’s a brand-new game.

“Paper Mansions” by Dottie West

Don’t build for me no paper mansions
That only stand until you’ve gone
You’ve paint the nastiest futures of anyone I know

You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow
You’ve built a thousand mansions out of dreams that seemed so strong
But they’re always made of paper not of stone
Don’t build for me no paper mansion
That I can never call my own
For love can’t live in paper mansions
That only stands until you’ve gone

[Piano]

You’ve always been a dreamer dear and I’m a dreamer too
But I guess I’ve had too many of the time that don’t come true
So don’t build me no mansion with paper walls so thin
That only stand until you leave again
Don’t build for me no paper mansion
That I can never call my own
For love can’t live in paper mansions
That only stands until you’ve gone

“Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” by Various from Roberta

They asked me how I knew,
My true love was true,
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I, of course, replied,
“Something here inside,
Cannot be denied.”

They said, “Someday you’ll find,
All who love are blind.
Oh-oh-oh-oh, when your heart’s on fire,
You must realize,
Smoke gets in your eyes.”

So I chaffed them,
And I gaily laughed,
To think they could doubt my love.
Yet today, my love has flown away.
I am without my love.

Now, laughing friends deride,
Tears I cannot hide.
Oh-oh-oh-oh, so I smile and say,
“When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.”
Smoke gets in your eyes.

“Three Blind Mice” by Various

Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer’s wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?

“The Goonies ‘r’ Good Enough” by Cyndi Lauper from The Goonies

Here we are
Hanging onto strains of greed and blues
Break the chain then we break down
Oh it’s not real if you don’t feel it

Unspoken expectations
Ideals you used to play with
They’ve finally taken shape for us.

What’s good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Now you’ll say
You’re startin’ to feel the push and pull
Of what could be and never can
You mirror me stumblin’ through those

Old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
Oh maybe you’re out of place

What’s good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(good enough) for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good, it’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Old fashioned superstitions
I find too hard to break
Oh maybe you’re out of place

What’s good enough for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(good enough) for you
Is good enough for me
It’s good, it’s good enough
It’s good enough for me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(scat)
