All around the world
There are people like you and me
From the poorest beggar in the street
To the richest king and queen

Some people take
And then they never give
You gotta learn to give and take
If yo wanna learn to live
In a small world
Small, small world

Now we can
Fight one another
Like they to on T.V.
Or we can
Help one another
The way it's supposed to be

If we all give a little
It could really mean a lot
It's a small world
But it's the only one we've got
Small world
Small, small world

. . .


Tout le monde come on down
Dig that crazy sound
Yeah take a chance
Zydeco & romance
Yeah everybody here
Got rhythm in their bones
It's another Friday nite down at old Antone's

Poor Beaucoup de jolie filles
C'est la place to be
The band sounds so fine
With some homemade wine
Yeah even old Pierre
Got his dancing shoes on
Just another Friday nite down at old Antone's

If you feel like eatin' there's always something cooking
If you want some lovin' there ain't nobody lookin'
If you feel like jammin' or singin' harmony
Well jump right up here with me
Here we go
Rosin up the bow
You name the song
We'll sing it all night long
Yeah, there is sweet Marie
She's out there on the phone
Cause it's another Friday nite
At her home away from home
Just another Friday nite at old Antone's

If you feel like eatin' there's always something cookin'
If you want some lovin' there ain't nobody lookin'
If you feel like jammin or singin' harmony
Well jump right up here with me
Here we go
Rosin up the bow
If you name the song
We'll sing it all night long
Yeah there goes cher Maurice
He's out there on the floor
Lookin' like he's had enough
But he wants a little more
Cause it's another Friday
Nite at his home away from home
Every single Friday nite down at old Antone's

. . .


Perfect World
Everybody's looking for a perfect world
Where you could have everthing your heart desires
A perfect boy will meet a perfect girl
And the perfect love will set the world on fire
Well what you ganna do, when one and one makes three
And a vision of the future is impossible to see
Nobody's perfect, not even a perfect fool,
But if you'll have faith in me
I'll keep faith in you

Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
There ain't no perfect world anyway
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
But we'll keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world

Everybody's got secrets, now you know that it's true
They talk about me and they'll talk about you
Something happens to the pledges of trust
Down through the years they begin to rust
Now here we are amid the tears and the laughter
Still waiting for our happily ever after
We'll keep on dreamin' as long as we can
Try to remember and you'll understand

Ain't no lvin' in a perfect world
There ain't no perfect world anyway
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
But we'll keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world

Small World (Part Two)

[No lyrics]

. . .


We're going out on Sunday Afternoon
We're gonna show the world what were made of
Me and my buddy will be dressed to kill

We'll cruise to the playgroung and the park
Gonna fool aroung 'til it gets dark
If you think we'll have some fun well you know we will
All of oursecrets
You know we're gonna keep 'em hid
When we get home they'll wanna know
Everything we did

Walking with the kid
Walking with the kid

We're known around the neighborhood
Yeah we got a real reputation
The bad guys all respect us 'cause we're family

We're not afraid of anything at all
Cause we can handle any situation
If my partner gets in trouble well it's up to me
All our friends are envious
Though they'll never let it show
Sure enough later on
Everyone's just gotta know
What we were
What we did

Walking with the kid
Walking with the kid

Walking, talking one on one
Walking, walking with my son

. . .


Bars of gold, shiny diamonds
All the pearls in the deep blue sea
They could never equal
What you mean to me
And all the rings, on all the fingers
Of all the Kings and Queens
They won't reveal, how I feel

'Cause you are there when I need you
And you are there in the morning when the sun comes up
You are there in the evening
You are there when I mess up
You'll be there in the winter time
You'll be there and be tru
From now on I'll be there for you

'Cause you, you mean the world to me
You mean the world to me
And I want you and all the world to see
You mean the world to me

All the cold in Alaska, and all the music down in Tennessee
All the tea in China, can't take you from em
The highest mountains the greenest valleys
All the stars above, can't replace
My favorite face

'Cause you were there in the hard times
You were there when I was ready to give up
You were there when there was no one else
And you were there when I messed up
You'll be there in the long run
You'll be there and be true
From now on I'll be there for you

'Cause you, you mean the world to me
You mean the world to me
And I want you and all the world to see
You mean the world
You mean the world

. . .


I don't mind you playing with my imagination
I don't mind you talking about me and you
I might think it's funny if you're fooling with my money
But I don't like you saying things that just aren't tru
I don't mind discussing wisdom and youth
And I don't mind you cussing if you're telling the truth
You can joke about the weather on a lousy day
But don't tell me that you're leaving if you're planning to stay

Well it don't have to be different it don't have to be true
If you got something to tell me it better be true
It don't have to be clever between me and you
If it's gonna be forever it better be true

I don't mind rehearsing though I'd much rather play
I don't mind conversing if you've got something to say
A little exaggeration might be understood
But lying to me darling just ain't no good.
If you feel like telling me that you will never leave me
Don't you dare deceive me cause that will never do

Well it don't have to be different it don't have to be true
If you got something to tell me it better be true
It don't have to be clever between me and you
If it's gonna be forever it better be true

. . .


I can see you've got your motor running
Don't you think you're movin kinda slow
If you feel the way I feel
Let me get behind the wheel
We don't need any destination baby
Anywhere you wanna go

Give me the keys, and I'll drive you crazy
Give me the keys, I'll drive you out of your mind

Honey we don't need no registration
We don't need no license anymore
Let me in the driver's side
And we can take a ride
We don't need to ask directions baby
I know where you wanna go

Give me the keys, and I'll drive you crazy
Give me the keys, I'll drive you out of your mind
Give me the keys, and I'll drive you crazy
Give me the keys, I'll drive you out of your mind

Maybe we'll just ride into the sunset
Drive around til who knows where or when
And when it gets a little dark
We'll find a quiet place to park
And when the sun comes up in the morning baby
Do it all over again

. . .


(Instrumental)
