1.	People make the world go round (Bell/Creed Carlin Music Corp) 05:55	lyrics	buy track
Trash men didn't get my trash today. Oh, why? Because they want more pay. Buses on strike want a raise in fare. So they can help pollute the air. But that's what makes the world go round. The ups and downs of carousels. Changing people's heads around. Go underground, young man. People make the world go round. Wall street losing dough on every share. They're blaming it on longer hair. Big men smoking in their easy chair. On fat cigars without a care. But that's what makes the world go round. The ups and down of carousels. Changing people's heads around. Go underground young man. People make the world go round.

There's a spark of magic in your eyes. Candyland appears each time you smile. Never thought that fairy tales came true. But they come true when I'm near you. You're a genie in disguise. Full of wonder and surprise. And Betcha by golly wow. You're the one that I've been waiting for forever. And ever will my love for you keep growing strong. Keep growing strong. If I could I'd catch a falling star. To shine on you so I'll know where you are. Order rainbows in your favourite shade. To show I love you, thinking of you. Write your name across the sky. Anything you ask I'll try, Cause. Betcha by golly wow. You're the one that I've been waiting for forever. And ever will my love for you keep growing strong, keep growing strong.

11.	What would you say? (Toussaint PRS/MCPS) 05:08	lyrics	buy track
If you saw me standing helpless on the street would you turn the other way? If you thought to help me but you saw the crowd would you care what they would say? Would you call me crazy if I said I love you baby can I stay tonight and every other night and love all but every way? What would you say? Is there truth in all the people that we meet each and every other day? Or a lie dark and heavy with deceit and they say why don't you stay? Can you tell me how to get from here to there that leads to everywhere with you so near I'd travel clear to far as far as I can go? Would you say no? Where the world moves like it's in a groove, Where there's no one on the bottom and loneliness is dead, where the air you breath is fresh and clean and goes straight right to your head maybe someday, what would you say? Maybe someday, what would you say?
