Put Me On

Put Me On Written by James Young, Tommy Shaw, Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by James Young, Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube Put me on I'm your brand new record album Side one, cut one listen to the songs Play me loud don't you worry 'bout your neighbors Hope I make you feel good all day long All day long Put me on and play me LOUD I'm the madman screaming in your living room I'll soon be coming to your town To sing and play a little tune I said put me on and play me LOUD Turn your stereo up all the way ALL THE WAY Now your body's immersed in sound So hear the synthesizers play And now you're in the mood Let the melody just drift your cares away It's got to do you good As it mesmerizes you in its own way So drift away...

Mademoiselle

Mademoiselle Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Tell me where are you going Sweet mademoiselle To London or Paris To the Grand Hotel Where do you go at the end of the day Where do you go, when you spend time away To islands in the tropic sands Or pleasure trips to distant lands You're searching for a dream Well maybe it's me. I tell you hello And what do you say As I stop you go There's no reason to stay It all began so harmlessly You gave me love so easily I never realized you were just spending time Tell me where are you going Sweet mademoiselle To London or Paris To the Grand Hotel Even though you're far away I think about you every day And wonder if you're thinking of me In a fond memory Sweet mademoiselle Tell me where are you going Sweet mademoiselle To London or Paris Ou Montreal Sweet Mademoiselle

Jennifer

Jennifer Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube Jennifer She drinks her sherry wine She keeps her lady's love for me all the time She's seventeen, barely old enough to cry A child in her father's eyes A woman every night Her love, gives me the power Her dreams carry me on Jennifer, so inviting That I sing Jennifer She took me by surprise She told me that she's much too young to keep me satisfied Jennifer, ah so delicate and shy A child in her mother's eyes but A woman every night Her love, gives me the power Her dreams carry me on Jennifer, so inviting That I sing...

Crystal Ball

Crystal ball Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line I used to think that everything was fine Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams All alone and trapped in time All alone and trapped in time I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me Or am I even in it's mind at all Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see Soon as I find myself a crystal ball Soon as I find myself a crystal ball Tell me, tell me where I'm going I don't know where I've been Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me And then tell me again My heart is breaking, my body's aching And I don't know where to go Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me I've just got to know Crystal ball There's so many things I need to know Crystal ball There's so many things I've got to know Crystal ball ["extra verse" used occasionally live] If you should see me walking Thro...

Shooz Written by Tommy Shaw and James Young Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube Well it's Friday nite and the streets are full of the weekends with their green Soldier boys looking left and right at all the sights there to be seen Well you can bet there's a loner who'd love to see you be so sweet That's why I'm telling you to get on your shooz and get out there on the street And get your rockin' Rock n' Roll Shooz Up and down around they go with their heads turning all around Way down there on the corner there's a Cadillac that's easy to be found Way down there in Chicago, down along Division street The boys are just looking for a girl like you to make their stay in town a treat So get your rockin' Rock n' Roll Shooz They all love it baby, they keep comin' back for more Rock n' Roll Shooz

This Old Man

This Old Man Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube This Old Man He worked for thirty years with Two strong hands, in the factory light his Lunch box held all his needs with Coffee sandwiches and dreams For Me This Old Man He taught me many times To understand, that showing love is simply Nothing you should have to hide Don't keep your feelings locked inside He said When I was young I dreamed a young man's dreams I saw in your eyes The things I'd never seen But now I grow old But I don't really mind Cause can't you see with my family We'll share these timeless memories

Claire De Lune / Ballerina

Claire De Lune / Ballerina Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube It seems you finally had to choose I guess there was no other way Between my love and satin shoes I knew the words you'd have to say It all began so long ago That the memory's hardly clear But when I seen you dance I know Half your love I'll always share Ballerina when you dance there's music Colored lights illuminate your movement Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile Ballerina from the first I knew that You would always have to dance I knew that There would surely come a day when you would go Baby I know... Dance for me, I beg of you, dance for me Dance for me, ballerina, dance for me Ballerina when you dance there's music Colored lights illuminate your movement Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile
