Who Wants to Live Forever
[Verse 1]
There’s no time for us
There’s no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us?
[Chorus]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever? Ooh
[Verse 2]
There’s no chance for us
It’s all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us
[Chorus]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever? Ooh
Who dares to love forever
Oh, when love must die?
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
[Chorus]
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
[Outro]

I just can’t handle it
This thing called love
I must get ’round to it, I ain’t ready
Crazy little thing called love

A-this thing (This thing)
Called love (Called love)

It shakes all over like a jellyfish
Woo, I kinda like it

She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

On my motorbike until I’m ready

Another Bites the Dust
[Intro]
Ooh, let’s go!
[Verse 1]
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready? Hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah
[Chorus]
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
[Verse 2]
How do you think I’m going to get along
Without you, when you’re gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out
[Chorus]
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
[Bridge]
Hey
Oh, take it
Bite the dust, hey
[DRUM LICK|
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow
Another one bites the dust, hey hey
Another one bites the dust, hey-eh-eh
Ooh
[Verse 3]
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad
And leave him when he’s down, yeah
But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you
I’m standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I’m gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
[Outro]
Shoot out
Ay-yeah
Alright
Radio Ga Ga
[Long Intro]
(Radio)
(Radio)
[Verse 1]
I’d sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
[Verse 2]
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made ’em laugh, you made ’em cry
You made us feel like we could fly (Radio)
So don’t become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don’t know or just don’t care
And just complain when you’re not there
[Pre-Chorus]
You had your time, you had the power
You’ve yet to have your finest hour
Radio (Radio)
[Chorus]
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what’s new?
Radio, someone still loves you
[Verse 3]
We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let’s hope you never leave, old friend
Like all good things, on you we depend
So stick around ’cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
[Pre-Chorus]
You had your time, you had the power
You’ve yet to have your finest hour
Radio (Radio)
[Chorus]
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what’s new?
Someone still loves you
[SYNTH PERCUSSION SOLO]

I Want It All
[Intro]
I want it all (Hey, yeah), I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
[Verse 1]
Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper light on his feet
A young fighter screaming
With no time for doubt
With the pain and anger
Can’t see a way out
[Pre-Chorus]
“It ain’t much I’m asking”
I heard him say
“Got to find me a future
Move out of my way”
[Chorus]
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
[Verse 2]
Listen, all you people, come gather ’round
I gotta get me a game plan
Gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine
People, do you hear me?
Just give me the sign
[Pre-Chorus]
It ain’t much I’m asking
If you want the truth
Here’s to the future
For the dreams of youth
[Chorus]
I want it all, I want it all
(Give it all, I want it all)
I want it all, and I want it now (Hey)
I want it all, I want it all
(Yes, I want it all, hey)
I want it all, and I want it now
[Bridge]
I’m a man with a one-track mind
So much to do in one lifetime
(People, do you hear me?)
Not a man for compromise
And where’s and why’s and living lies
So I’m living it all (Yes, I’m living it all)
And I’m giving it all
(And I’m giving it all, ooh, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I want it all)
[GUITAR SOLO]
[Pre-Chorus]
It ain’t much I’m asking
If you want the truth
Here’s to the future
Hear the cry of youth
(Hear the cry, hear the cry of youth)
[Chorus]
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all

Tonight I’m gonna have myself a real good time

And the world, I’ll turn it inside out, yeah
I’m floating around in ecstasy
So (Don’t stop me now)
(Don’t stop me)
‘Cause I’m having a good time
Having a good time
[Verse 1]
I’m a shooting star leaping through the sky like a tiger
Defying the laws of gravity
I’m a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I’m gonna go, go, go, there’s no stopping me
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m burning through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I’m traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman outta you

Just give me a call
(Don’t stop me now)
‘Cause I’m having a good time
(Don’t stop me now)
Yes, I’m having a good time
I don’t wanna stop at all, yeah
[Verse 2]
I’m a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course
I am a satellite, I’m out of control
I’m a sex machine ready to reload like an atom bomb
About to oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m burning through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I’m traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
[Bridge]
(Don’t stop me, don’t stop me, don’t stop me)
Hey, hey, hey

We Are the Champions
[Verse 1]
I’ve paid my dues
Time after time
I’ve done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through
(And I need to go on and on, and on, and on)
[Chorus]
We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions
Of the world
[Verse 2]
I’ve taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it’s been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain’t gonna lose
(And I need to go on and on, and on, and on)
[Chorus]
We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions
Of the world
[Outro]
We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end, oh
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions…

Somebody to Love
[Intro]

Somebody to love?
[Verse 1]
Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself in the mirror and cry)

Bohemian Rhapsody
[Intro]
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I’m easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me
[Verse 1]
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
[Verse 2]
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (Any way the wind blows)
I don’t wanna die
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro magnifico
But I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Never, never, never, never let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia) Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!
[Verse 4]
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
[Outro]
(Ooh)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah)
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
Mamma Mia (ABBA) — July 30 Beer Choir Preview!
[Verse 1]
I‘ve been cheated by you since I don’t know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don’t know how, but I suddenly lose control
There’s a fire within my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, wo-o-o-oh
[Chorus]
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I should not have let you go
[Verse 2]
I’ve been angry and sad about the things that you do
I can’t count all the times that I’ve told you we’re through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won’t be away too long
You know that I’m not that strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, wo-o-o-oh
[Chorus]
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
[Chorus]
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
[Chorus]
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
[Chorus]
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go
