1. Grease by Frankie Valli
[Verse 1]
I saw my problems, and I’ll see the light
We got a lovin’ thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain’t no danger, we can go too far
We start believin’ now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
[Verse 2]
They think our love is just a growin’ pain
Why don’t they understand? It’s just a cryin’ shame
Their lips are lyin’, only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel
Grease is the word
[Chorus]
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
[Verse 3]
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin’ now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
[Chorus]
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now, grease is the way we are feeling
[Bridge]
This is a life of illusion, wrapped up in trouble
Laced with confusion, what’re we doin’ here?
[Verse 3]
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin’ now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
[Chorus]
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now, grease is the way we are feeling
[Chorus]
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now, grease is the way we are feeling
[Outro]
Grease is the word
Is the word, is the word
Is the word, is the word
Is the word, is the word
Is the word, is the word
2. Sandy by John Travolta
[Intro]
Stranded at the drive in, branded a fool
What will they say, Monday at school?
[Verse 1]
Sandy, can’t you see? I’m in misery
We made a start, now we’re apart
There’s nothin’ left for me
Love has flown all alone
I sit and wonder why-y-y-oh
Why you left me, oh Sandy
[Verse 2]
Oh Sandy, baby
Someday, when hi-i-igh school is done
Somehow, someway
Our two worlds will be one
In heaven forever and ever we will be
Oh, please say you’ll stay, oh Sandy
[Interlude]
Sandy my darlin’, you hurt me real bad
You know it’s true
But baby, you gotta believe me when I say
I’m helpless without you
[Bridge]
Love has flown all alone
I sit, I wonder why-y-y-oh
Why you left me, oh Sandy
[Outro]
Sandy
Sandy
Why-y-y-y
Oh, Sandy
3. Hopelessly Devoted to You by Olivia Newton John
[Verse 1]
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I’m not the first to know
There’s just no getting over you
You know, I’m just a fool who’s willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby, can’t you see
There’s nothing else for me to do?
I’m hopelessly devoted to you
[Chorus]
But now there’s nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I’m out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
[Verse 2]
My head is saying, “Fool, forget him”
My heart is saying, “Don’t let go
Hold on ’til the end”
And that’s what I intend to do
I’m hopelessly devoted to you
[Chorus]
But now there’s nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I’m out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
4. You’re the One That I Want by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John
[Verse 1: Danny]
I got chills, they’re multiplying
And I’m losing control
‘Cause the power you’re supplying
It’s electrifying
[Pre-Chorus: Sandy & Danny]
You better shape up, ’cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you (And my heart is set on you)
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart, I must be true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
[Chorus: Danny & Sandy]
You’re the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey

Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, yes, indeed (Yes, indeed)
[Verse 2: Sandy]
If you’re filled with affection
You’re too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way
[Pre-Chorus: Danny, Sandy & Both]
I better shape up, ’cause you need a man
I need a man who can keep me satisfied (Who can keep me satisfied)
I better shape up if I’m gonna prove
You better prove that my faith is justified
Are you sure?
Yes, I’m sure down deep inside
[Chorus: Danny & Sandy]
You’re the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (One I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (Yes, indeed)
You’re the one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (You are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (One I need)

8. It’s Raining on Prom Night by Cindy Bullens
[Verse]
I was deprived of a young girl’s dream
By the cruel force of nature from the blue
Instead of a night full of romance serene
All I got was a runny nose and Asiatic flu
[Chorus]
It’s raining on prom night, my hair is a mess
It’s running all over my taffeta dress
It’s wilting the quilting on my Maidenform
And mascara flows right down my nose because of the storm
I don’t even have my corsage, oh gee
It fell down a sewer with my sister’s ID
[Interlude]
Yes, it’s raining on prom night
Oh my darling, what can I do?
I miss you
It’s raining rain from the skies
And it’s raining real tears from my eyes, over you
Oh dear God, make him feel the same way I do right now (It’s raining on prom night)
Make him want to see me again (Oh, what can I do?)
Oh, what can I do?
[Outro]
It’s raining rain from the skies
It’s raining tears from my eyes over you
Raining, ooh, tears from my eyes over you
Raining, ooh, raining on prom night
Ooh, raining, ooh, tears from my eyes over you
Raining, ooh, raining on prom night
9. Alone at a Drive-In Movien by James Getzoff (Instrumental)
10. Blue Moon by Sha Na
Blue moon (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
You saw me standing alone (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
Without a dream in my heart (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
Without a love of my own (Ah-ah)
Blue moon (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
You knew just what I was there for (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
You heard me saying a prayer for (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
Someone I really could care for (Woah-woah-woah-woah)
And then suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, “Please, adore me”
But when I looked that moon had turned to gold
Woah-woah-woah, blue moon (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
Now, I’m no longer alone (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
Without a dream in my heart (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
Without a love of my own (Blue, blue, blue, blue moon)
Without a love of my own (Woah-woah-woah-woah)
Blue moon

12. There Are Worse Things I Could Do by Stockard Channing
[Intro]
There are worse things I could do
Than go with a boy or two
Even though the neighborhood thinks I’m trashy and no good
I suppose it could be true
But there are worse things I could do
[Verse 1]
I could flirt with all the guys
Smile at them and bat my eyes
Press against them when we dance
Make them think they stand a chance
Then refuse to see it through
That’s a thing I’d never do
[Bridge]
I could stay home every night
Wait around for Mr. Right
Take cold showers every day
And throw my life away
On a dream that won’t come true
[Verse 2]
I could hurt someone like me
Out of spite or jealousy
I don’t steal and I don’t lie
But I can feel and I can cry
A fact I’ll bet you never knew
But to cry in front of you
That’s the worst thing I could do
13. Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee (Reprise) by Olivia Newton-John
[SANDY]
Look at me, there has to be
Something more than what they see
Wholesome and pure
Oh so scared and unsure
A poor man’s Sandra Dee
Sandy, you must start anew
Don’t you know what you must do?
Hold your head high
Take a deep breath and sigh
“Goodbye to Sandra Dee…”

16. Beauty School Dropout by Frankie Avalon
[TEEN ANGEL]
Your story, sad to tell
A teenage ne’er do well
Most mixed up, non-delinquent on the block
Your future’s so unclear now
What’s left of your career now?
Can’t even get a trade-in on your smock
[ANGELS]
La, lala, la, lala, la, lala, la
La, lala, la, lala
La, lala, la, lala
La, lala, la, lala

[TEEN ANGEL (ANGELS)]
Beauty school dropout
No graduation day for you
Beauty school dropout
Missed your midterms and flunked shampoo
Well at least you could have taken time
To wash and clean your clothes up
After spending all that dough to have
The doctor fix your nose up!
Baby get moving (Better get movin’)
Why keep your feeble hopes alive?
What are you proving? (What are you provin’?)
You’ve got the dream, but not the drive!
17. Born to Hand Jive by Sha Na
[Verse 1]
Before I was born, late one night
My papa said everything’s alright
The doctor paid, mama laid down
With a semitone bouncing all around
Cause the beebop stork was about to arrive
Mama gave birth to the hand-jive
[Verse 2]
I could barely walk when I milked a cow
When I was three I pushed a plow
While chopping wood I moved my legs
And they saw me dancing when I gathered eggs
The townfolk clapped, I was only five
And I danced ’em all, he’s born to hand-jive
[Chorus 1]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah – everybody
Born to hand-jive, baby
Born to hand-jive, baby – yeah
[Bridge]
How low can you go, how low can you go
How low can you go, how low can you go
Higher, higher, higher and higher
[Chorus 2]
Now can you hand-jive, baby, oh can you hand-jive, baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Born to hand-jive, oh yeah
18. Grease by Frankie Valli (Reprise)
[Verse 1]
I saw my problems and I’ll see the light
We got a lovin’ thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain’t no danger, we can go too far
We start believin’ now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
They think our love is just a growin’ pain
Why don’t they understand? It’s just a cryin’ shame
Their lips are lyin’, only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel
Grease is the word
[Chorus]
(Grease) Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning
(Grease) Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
[Verse 2]
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin’ now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
[Chorus]
(Grease) Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning
(Grease) Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
[Bridge]
This is a life of illusion, a life of control
Mixed with confusion – what’re we doin’ here?
[Verse 2]
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin’ now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
[Chorus]
(Grease) Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning
(Grease) Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
[Chorus]
(Grease) Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning
(Grease) Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
19. Tears on My Pillow by Sha Na Na
You don’t remember me, but I remember you
‘Twas not so long ago you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you
If we could start anew, I wouldn’t hesitate
I’d gladly take you back and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you, you, you, you
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love, he’ll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn’t hesitate
I’d gladly take you back and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you
No, no no no now
No, no no no
You you you you you (You)
20. Mooning by Cindy Bullens & Louis St. Louis
I spend my days just mooning
So sad and blue, so sad and blue
I spend my nights just mooning all over you
All over who?
Oh, I’m so full of love, as any fool can see
‘Cause angels up above have hung the moon on me
Why must you go?
Why must I go on mooning?
So all alone, so all alone
There would be no, there would be no more mooning
If you would call me up on the phone
While lying on my sofa bed
I cry and get myself red
Mooning over you
I’ll stand behind, you’ll stand behind
You mooning forever more, forever more
Someday you’ll find, someday you’ll find
Me mooning at your front door, at my front door
Whoa, everyday at school I watch ya
Always will until I got ya
Mooning too
There’s a moon out tonight
21. Freddy My Love by Cidny Bullens
Freddy, my love
I miss you more than words can say (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Freddy, my love
Please keep in touch while you’re away (Oh yeah)
Hearing from you can make the day so much better (Ooh-ooh)
Getting a souvenir or maybe a letter (Ooh-ah)
I really flipped over the gray cashmere sweater (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love
Freddy, you know your absence makes me feel so blue (So blue)
That’s okay though, your presents make me think of you (Sure, they do)
My mom will have a heart attack when she catches (Ooh)
Those pedal pushers with the black leather patches (Ooh-ah)
Oh, how I wish I had a jacket that matches (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love
Don’t keep your letters from me, I thrill to every line (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Your spelling’s kinda crummy, but honey, so is mine (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I treasure every gifty, the ring is really nifty (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You say it cost you fifty, so you’re thrifty (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I don’t mind, whoa-oh-oh-oh (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Freddy, you see, you’ll hold me in your arms someday (Freddy, my love)
And I will be wearing your lacy lingerie (Freddy, I’m yours)
Thinking about it, my heart’s pounding already (Ooh)
Knowing when you come home, we’re bound to go steady (Ooh-ah)
And throw your service pay around like confetti (Ooh)
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love
Ooh Freddy, Freddy, my love
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love
Ooh Freddy, Freddy, my love
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love
I’m ready, Freddy, my love
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love
Ooh-ooh Freddy, Freddy, my love
Freddy, my love, Freddy, my love

23. Those Magic Changes by Sha Na
[Verse 1]
What’s that playin’ on the radio?
Why do I start swayin’ to and fro?
I have never heard that song before
But if I don’t hear it anymore
It’s still familiar to me
Sends a thrill right through me
‘Cause those chords remind me of the
Night that I first fell in love to
[Chorus]
Those magic changes, my heart arranges
A melody, that’s never the same
A melody, that’s calling your name
And begs you please, come back to me
Please, return to me
Don’t go away again
Oh, make them play again
The music I wanna hear as once again
You whisper in my ear
Oh, my darling, uh-huh
[Verse 2]
I’ll be waiting by the radio
You’ll come back to me someday, I know
Been so lonesome since our last goodbye
But I’m singin’ as I cry
While the bass is sounding
While the drums are pounding
Beatings of my broken heart
Will rise to first place on the charts
[Outro]
Oh, my heart arranges
Oh, those magic changes
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, yeah
Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
24. Hound Dog by Sha Na
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
They said, you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
Called you high classed
That was just a lie
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
Take it boy
Said, you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
Called you high classed
That was just a lie
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
You ain’t no friend of mine
