There’s a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It’s enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest?
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There’s a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There’s a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest?
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
[Verse 1]
Deep love is a burning fire
Stay, ’cause then the flames grows higher
Babe, don’t let him steal your heart
It’s easy, easy
Girl, this game can’t last forever
Why we cannot live together?
Try, don’t let him take your love from me
[Chorus]
You’re no good, can’t you see?
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
I’m in love, set her free
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Only love breaks her heart
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Only love’s paradise
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Oh, let it, Louie, she is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, doing what he’s doing
So leave it, Louie, ’cause I’m her lover
[Verse 2]
Stay, ’cause this boy wants to gamble
Stay, love’s more than he can handle, girl
Oh, come on, stay by me forever, ever
Why does he go on pretending
That his love is never ending
Babe, don’t let him steal your love from me
[Chorus]
You’re no good, can’t you see?
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
I’m in love, set her free
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Only love breaks her heart
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Only love’s paradise
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Oh, let it, Louie, she is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, doing what he’s doing
So leave it, Louie, ’cause I’m her lover
[Outro]
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Oh, let it, Louie, she is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, doing what he’s doing
So leave it, Louie, ’cause I’m her lover
Brother Louie, Louie
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Oh, let it, Louie—
The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your whole body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
Lost is how I’m feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside’s too much to take
That all ends when I’m with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I’m far away
Never wonder where I am
‘Cause I am always by your side
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can’t go on
Is light years away
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love
The power of love
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love
As I look in your eyes
The power of love
(spoken) Ladies and gentlemen, brethren and sinners all! I call upon our Goddess of the Virtues to give us her well known rendition of the old school song — Oom-Pah-Pah!
NANCY
(spoken) All right, shut up, you lot! A bit of culture now! ‘Ere we go…
(sung) There’s a little ditty
They’re singing in the city
Ecspecilly when they’ve been
On the gin
Or the beer
If you’ve got the patience
Your own imaginations
Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear…

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

When they hear… oom-pah-pah!!
Mister Percy Snodgrass
Would often have the odd glass —
But never when he thought anybody could see
Secretly he’d buy it
And drink it on the quiet
And dream he was an Earl
Wiv a girl on each knee!
CUSTOMERS AND NANCY
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

What is the cause of his red shiny nose?
Could it be… oom-pah-pah!?
Pretty little Sally
Goes walking down the alley
Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men
They could see her garters
But not for free-and-gratis–
An inch or two, and then she knows
When to say when!
ALL
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That’s how it goes
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev’ryone knows…
NANCY
Whether it’s hidden, or whether it shows —
It’s the same… oom-pah-pah!
She was from the country
But now she’s up a gum-tree —
She let a feller beat ‘er, then lead ‘er along
What’s the good o’ cryin’?
She’s made a bed to lie in
She’s glad to bring the coin in
And join in this song!
ALL
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That’s how it goes!
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev’ryone knows

She is no longer the same blushing rose
Ever since … oom-pah-pah!
(spoken) Altogether now!

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION PARTIES:
I’ve gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I’m older
This mountain, I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds, I see love shine
Keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life, there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me (hey)
Gotta take a little time
Little time to look around me
I’ve got nowhere left to hide
Looks like love has finally found me
In my life, there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is (I wanna know)
I want you to show me (I wanna feel)
I wanna feel what love is (I know, I know, and I know)
I know you can show me
Let’s talk about love
I wanna know what love is
(Love that you feel inside)
I want you to show me
(I’m feeling so much love)
I wanna feel what love is
(And you know, you just can’t hide)
I know you can show me
Oh, I wanna know what love is
(Let’s talk about love)
I know you can show me
(I wanna feel)
I wanna feel what love is
(And you know you just can’t hide)
I know you can show me
I wanna feel what love is (oh, I wanna know)
I want you to show me
