Billy Joel - When In Rome
well i see you in the morning

putting on your pretty clothes

and i watch you do your make-up

like they do in all those fashion shows

then you turn to me so that i can see

if you put yourself together right

then you go away and you're gone all day

but i know you're coming home tonight

and when you're home, darling all you've got to be is you

but when in rome, do as the romans do



well it's alright if you're tired when your day is done

you can see when you look at me, you're not the only one

it's a cold, cruel world for a working girl

but you can't let them see you cry

it's a fact of life, now man and wife

work full time to just get by

and when we're home all it's gonna be is me and you

but when in rome, do as the romans do



i've done some strange things i never thought i'd do before

but if the strain brings happiness, more or less...

more or less...



then i don't mind masquerading with all those other fools

i don't mind the games i'm playing,

because i've learned the rules

and when times are tough, i've got just enough

if you're standing right by my side

darling more and more i get hungry for

all the ways you keep me satisfied

on our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thru

but when in rome, do as the romans do



then i don't mind masquerading with all those other fools

i don't mind the games i'm playing,

because i've learned the rules

it doesn't matter when we're home, all alone

all we've got to be is me and you

on our own there ain't nothing that we can't get thru

but when in rome, do as the romans do



swing that hammer and break that stone

push those buttons and answer that phone

coffee in the morning and martinis at night

everybody's working up a big appetite

do as the romans do...

Billy Joel - Why Judy Why
of all the people in the world that i know

you're the best place to go

when i cry, when i cry



i never asked for much before, not before

things are changed; i need more

tell me why, judy, why?



i never thought that she would say

say goodbye; but she did

and now i wanna die. i wanna die



i never thought that i would need, need a friend

but i did, in the end

tell me why, judy, why



oh, what a scene

it's wrong for her to hang me up this way

oh, where you been?

'cause it's so hard to make it through the day



a man my age is very young, so i'm told

why do i feel so old?

tell me why, judy, why?



oh, what a scene

it's wrong for her to hang me up this way

oh, where you been?

'cause it's so hard to make it through the day



there's no tomorrow 'cause my dreams did not last

so i live in the past

Billy Joel - You Look So Good To Me
ah, you look so good to me

with my eyes open wide, i can see

ah, you feel so good to me

and it's so good when you're here 'cause i'm free



feelin' the glory from that smile upon your face

it's liftin' me high above my ordinary place

and i am so happy when i'm in your warm embrace



ah, you look so good to me

with my eyes open wide, i can see

ah, you feel so good to me

and who knows what your next move will be?



ah, you look so good to me

with my eyes open wide, i can see

ah, you feel so good to me

and it's so good when you're here 'cause i'm free

Billy Joel - Zanzibar
ali dances and the audience applauds

though he's bathed in sweat he hasn't lost his style

ali don't you go downtown

you gave away another round for free



me, i'm just another face at zanzibar

but the waitress always serves a secret smile

she's waiting out in shantytown

she's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me



chorus

i've got the old man's car,

i've got a jazz guitar

i've got a tab at zanzibar

tonight that's where i'll be



rose, he knows he's such a credit to the game

but the yankees grab the headlines every time

melodrama's so much fun

in black and white for everyone to see

me, i'm trying just to get to second base

and i'd steal it if she only gave the sign

she's gonna give the go ahead

the inning isn't over yet for me



chorus



tell the waitress i'll come back to zanzibar

i'll be hiding in the darkness with my beer.

she's waiting out in shantytown

she's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me



chorus
