Sammy Davis Jr - Mr. Bojangles

 I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you

In worn-out shoes

Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants

The old soft shoe


He jumped so high

He jumped so high

Then he'd lightly touched down


Mr Bojangles

Mr Bojangles

Mr Bojangles

Dance


I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was

Down and out

He looked to me to be the eyes of age

As he spoke right out


 
He talked of life
He talked of life
He lightly slapped his leg instead

He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants for a better stance
He jumped so high
He clicked his heels

He let go a laugh
He let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Dance

We danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
We spoke in tears of fifteen years
How his dog and him
They traveled about

His dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years he still grieves

They said I dance now at every chance and honky-tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
Cause I drinks a bit

He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask please

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Dance

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles

Sia - Chandelier

 Party girls don’t get hurt
Can’t feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, push it down

I'm the one for a good time call
Phone’s blowing up, ringing my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love

One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw ‘em back till I lose count

I’m gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I’m gonna live like tomorrow doesn’t exist
Like it doesn’t exist
I’m gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I’m gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier

But I’m holding on for dear life
Won’t look down, won’t open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
Help me, I’m holding on for dear life
Won’t look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
On for tonight



 

Sun is up, I’m a mess
Gotta get out now
Gotta run from this
Here comes the shame
Here comes the shame
(Aaah)

One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw ‘em back till I lose count

I’m gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I’m gonna live like tomorrow doesn’t exist
Like it doesn’t exist
I’m gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I’m gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier

But I’m holding on for dear life
Won’t look down, won’t open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
Help me, I’m holding on for dear life
Won’t look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight

‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
Oh, I’m just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight

‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight
Oh, I’m just holding on for tonight
On for tonight

On for tonight

The Weeknd feat. Ariana Grande - Save Your Tears (remix)


I saw you dancing in a crowded room
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye

I don't know why I run away (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'll make you cry when I run away (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay

Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day
Met you once under a Pisces Moon
I kept my distance 'cause I know that you
Don't like when I'm with nobody else
I couldn't help it, I put you through hell

I don't know why I run away (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh boy, I'll make you cry when I run away (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Boy, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that it's much too late
And you deserve someone better
Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away (save)

Save your tears for another day (ooh)
Ooh, girl (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay)
I said save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day
