CHA CHA LOCO
You've tied the knot
Don't bite the hand or it won't feed
What she ain't got
Is sure to make sure you don't need
You can't go back, you've booked the band
So take your partner by the hand
(baile) Enjoy the food—so many courses
(baile) Enjoy the dance—they don't shoot horses
(baile)
Cha cha loco
You like the dress
It's out of mothballs once a year
The good champagne
Tomorrow night it's back to beer
But now you're here, you'll dance all night
But never get the steps quite right
(baile) Enjoy the food—so many courses
(baile) Enjoy the dance—they don't shoot horses
(baile)
Cha cha loco....
Cha cha, cha loco
Cha cha, cha loco (cha cha loco, cha cha loco)
Cha cha, cha loco (cha cha loco, cha cha loco)
Cha cha, cha loco (cha cha loco, cha cha loco)
Cha cha, cha loco (cha cha loco, cha cha loco) (etc.)
(baile) Enjoy the food—so many courses
(baile) Enjoy the dance—they don't shoot horses
(baile)
Cha cha loco....

GO FOR IT
Everybody's wasting time
Everybody stands in line
Think of Babe Ruth and you think of hot dogs and beer
But if he could hit a home run so could you
And your weight is just nowhere near
Am I making myself quite clear?
Is that the best you can do?
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
If that's the best you can do
Get out of my place, take anyone's face
Come last in the race, but
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
The clock is ticking on the wall
Everybody has to take a fall
Think of Ray Charles and you think of sunglasses at night
But if he can play piano so can you
And you can tell black from white
Can you tell me that I'm not right?
Is that the best you can do?
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
If that's the best you can do
Get out of my life, be anyone's wife
And do what you like, but
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it....
Think of Babe Ruth and you think of hot dogs and beer
But if he could hit a home run so could you
And your weight is just nowhere near
Am I making myself quite clear?
Is that the best you can do?
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
If that's the best you can do
Get out of your shell, be anyone's pal
Do bad or do well, but
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it....
GO FOR IT

HAPPY ENDING
Boy:
I'm in a movie where boy meets girl
What happens to me in this brave new world
Do I listen to my heart, do I listen to my head?
Girl: Do I look at what I see, or remember what I read?
Boy: When I tell you how I feel, do I wonder what I've said?
chorus
Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending
La lalala
La lalala la
Girl:
It's not so easy, it's '84 now
How tough must we be, to ask for more now?
Do I listen to my head, do I listen to my heart?
Boy: Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we're apart?
Girl: Do I think about the end when it's only just the start?
chorus
Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending
La lalala
La lalala la
Girl:
I get so scared when I see the end but it's against our case
Boy:
Each movie so far this year
Both:
Ends up with someone crying
Or even someone dying....
Girl: Do I listen to my head, do I listen to my heart?
Boy: Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we're apart?
Girl: Do I think about the end when it's only just the start?
chorus
Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending
La lalala
La lalala
La lalala la....

HEART OF ICE
Take a knife
Cut out this heart of ice
Hold it high
Walk into the sun
Take a knife
Cut out this heart of ice
Hold it high
Walk into the sun
Take a knife
Cut out this heart of ice
Hold it high
Walk into the sun....
