Dawson 06:04
What’s up Richard, with the questions in your hand When it comes down to it, you’re the number one answer man Kissing all the ladies that’s the way you made your fame A three-strike rejection is the way to lose your game Richard Dawson – He’s a Dawson Teamin’ up with Arnold. Flexin’ skills in Running Man Playing precious evil, you the monster with a plan The game show master always puts me in the mood Enough of all this talkin’, now its time to play the Feud Richard Dawson – He’s a Dawson Richard Dawson – Ooooh Yeah Hey there, Andre, swingin’ bats and clubbin’ balls Chicago, Boston, Florida, but most of all Montreal Puttin’ up the numbers, 49-155 I remember ’87 when Show made you take a dive Andre Dawson – He’s a Dawson They used to call you Awesome, MVP, Rookie of the year You shine under the spotlight, like a crystal, very clear I’ll see you there in Cooperstown, induction, Hall of Fame Na na na na na na – There’s so much in a name Andre Dawson – He’s a Dawson Richard Dawson – Ooooh Yeah!!!

Step Up 04:34
Step Up Because you know you want to Step Up Because you know you care Step Up Because you know you need to Step Up Because you are aware, yes Everybody feels the pain Although it has no name Everyone wants to see Them and their loved ones in revelry Everybody hides away Though in love and light they celebrate Everybody dreams to be alive Everybody, they’re scared they don’t know why Everybody lives to see the sky Though some bodies, they never know why Everyone loves to dream And when they come true they scream Step Up Because you know you want to Step Up Because you know you care Step Up Because you know you need to Step Up Because you are aware, yes In the sky you see your reflection In the sky you know in what you share In the sky you see the next dimensions In the sky you breathe you breathe the air

Rebel Music 03:47
Rebel music Gather all around Rebel music Hear what I’ve found Love, in rebel music We need to see the day When all our fears and famines go away Love, Rebel music If you dare to bare the truth Sing, Rebel music Georgie Bush is John Wilkes Booth Sing, Rebel music If you kill one then you kill all Love, Rebel music Those who don’t love are those who fall Rebel music We rebels gather everywhere We sing, Rebel music Cause we’re not victim to your scare It wouldn’t be rebel music If the baldheads let the people share There would be no rebel music The bounty burning in despair We had the food to eat and the clothes to wear There could be no rebel music If everybody cares There will be no rebel music when everybody, Everybody cares, everybody shares Rebel music The children that we teach to share Rebel music They are now running everywhere Rebel music When they look up what do they see We need the rebel music Cause shock and awe are raining a disease We must play, Rebel music When our leaders are taking what they please We need the rebel music When the rich and the ruling are stealing form those in need When they trick us into following our downfall on TV When our leaders are plainly taking what they please

You know it’s getting kind of late It’s almost time the music stopped Oh wait, I mean it’s just the day And that the night’s about to start I’m a little wet behind the ears And in my shorts and on my shirt I’m at the ocean, no, the bay My Angel’s black, it’s getting dark You know I only came out to play Not here to be doing the hard work The tricky part is that it’s only what you say That differentiates, if the work hurts So what you callin’ love? And what you callin’ pain? So what you callin’ dreams? And is it all the same thing? What you callin’ hope? And what you callin work? Is it and love all one in the same? Or are you pay? Are you payin’ with the long hurt? It won’t work What you callin’ hope? And what you callin’ work? What you callin’ faith? Are you peddlin in soft goods? So what you callin’ love? And what you callin’ fun? What you callin’ dreams? Or do you just want to be number one? Would that be lots of fun? Until it’s done Hear you screamin’ cash That you’re so hot and that you got it all Braggin’ bout how you got it stashed That you’re laundering in chicks and guns, That must be lots of fun Yeah when you tell me what you have I’m only hearin’ what you need I hear you want a long career That you’re languishing for longevity, not 3 CDs Yeah, when you tell me that you’re great I only know that you’re really scared Cause we’re all one in the same You just got your diamond underwear, Who really cares? Ludicruous, It’s Ludicruous (What you say?) Ludicruous, It’s Ludicruous (One more time) Ludicruous, It’s Ludicruous (Shout it out loud) Ludicruous, Ludicruous, Ludicruous You know I’m felling better now I took a wade in your advice The ocean’s water is my friend I know why I’m always thinking twice I try to hide from things I need A little scared that I’ll grow up And that I’ll stop enjoying things And won’t be glad until I’ve had enough I’ve had enough

Some may not think you’re the prettiest car on the road But you’re the only one I hope I ever see We’ve been drivin’ around for ten long years now And another you I know there’ll never be I’m so fiercely loyal You could boil me in oil And I’d still only have eyes for you Because people insist you’re not alive I’ll get to drive you Until I can’t afford to get you fixed On you I have relied, in countries’ corners tears I’ve cried To me you’re divine When my life’s on the line So why would I even care how you look I’m so fiercely loyal You could boil me in oil And I’d still only have eyes for you So what if you’re metal Me flower, you pedal Together, we‘re one on the road I trust you far more than Zsa Zsa Gabor A human I don’t even know To me you’re divine When my life’s on the line So why would I even care how you look I’m so fiercely loyal You could boil me in oil And I’d still only have eyes for you To me you’re the dice Or in China, the rice My vehicle nobody’s known My only best friend who I own My only best friend who I own? Yes, my only best friend who I own
