  4. In the Good Old Summer Time - 1 (ON-STAGE CHORUS ONLY) There’s a time in each year that we always hold dear, good old summer time. With the birds and the trees and sweet scented breezes, good old summer time. When your day’s work is over then you are in clover, and life is one beautiful rhyme; No trouble annoying, each one is enjoying the good old summer time.

  5. In the Good Old Summer Time - 2 (ALL) In the good old summer time, In the good old summer time! Strolling thru' the shady lane with your baby mine. You hold her hand and she holds yours and that's a very good sign That she's your tootseywootsey In the good old summer time!

  6. Oh, What A Beautiful Morning There's a bright golden haze on the meadow, There's a bright golden haze on the meadow. The corn is as high as an elephant's eye, And it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky. Oh, what a beautiful mornin’ Oh, what a beautiful day. I got a beautiful feelin' ev'rything'sgoin' my way. Oh, what a beautiful day!

  7. Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Built for Two) Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer, do! I'm half crazy, All for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage, But you'll look sweet on the seat Of a bicycle built for two.

  8. Take Me Out to the Ballgame - 1 (CHORUS ONLY) Katie Casey was baseball mad, Had the fever and had it bad; Just to root for the hometown crew, ev’rysou Katie blew. On a Saturday her young beau Called to see if she’d like to go To see a show but Miss Kate said, “no, I’ll tell you what you can do:”

  9. Take Me Out to the Ballgame - 2 (ALL) Take me out to the ball game,Take me out with the crowd;Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don't care if I never get back.Let me root, root, root for the [Rockies],If they don't win, it's a shame.For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out, At the old ball game.

  15. I’ve Been Working on the Railroad -1 I've been working on the railroad All the live-long day. I've been working on the railroad Just to pass the time away. Don't you hear the whistle blowing, Rise up so early in the morn; Don't you hear the captain shouting, "Dinah, blow your horn!"

  28. Rocky Mountain High - 1 Colorado SOLO: Simon Kyeune He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year, Comin’ home to a place he’d never been before, He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again, You might say he found a key for ev’ry door.

  29. Rocky Mountain High - 2 Colorado When he first came to the mountains his life was far away, on the road and hangin’ by a song. But the string’s already broken and he doesn’t really care, It keeps changing fast and it don’t last for long.

  30. Rocky Mountain High - 3 (ALL) Colorado But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the sky. The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby. Rocky Mountain high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain high……. Colorado.

  31. Old Folks at Home/Swanee River - 1 Florida Way down upon the Swanee River, far, far away, There’s where my heart is turning ever, there’s where the old folks stay. All up and down the whole creation, sadly I roam, Still longin’ for the old plantation, and for the old folks at home.

  32. Old Folks at Home/Swanee River - 2 Florida All the world is sad and dreary, everywhere I roam; Oh, brothers, how my heart grows weary, far from the old folks at home.

  33. Home on the Range Kansas O give me a home, where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and the antelope play, Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And the skies are not cloudy all day.   Home, home on the range, Where the deer and the antelope play, Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And the skies are not cloudy all day.

  34. You Are My Sunshine Louisiana The other night dear as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke dear I was mistaken and I hung my head and cried: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, You make me happy when skies are gray. You’ll never know dear how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.

  35. Maryland, My Maryland Maryland The despot’s heel is on thy shore, Maryland, My Maryland! His torch is at thy temple door, Maryland, My Maryland! Avenge the patriotic gore that flecked the streets of Baltimore! And be the Battle Queen of yore, Maryland, My Maryland!

  37. Oklahoma - 2 Oklahoma We know we belong to the land (yo-ho)And the land we belong to is grand!And when we say Yeeow! Aye-yip-aye-yo-ee-ay!We're only sayin' you're doin' fine, Oklahoma! Oklahoma O.K.!

  40. SOCIAL ISSUES, CHANGE, AND CIVIL RIGHTS

  41. Lift Every Voice and Sing Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies; Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us; Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on, till victory is won.

  42. Blowin’ in the Wind How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man? Yes, ‘n’ how many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, ‘n’ how many times must the cannon balls fly before they’re forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, the answer is blowin’ in the wind, the answer is blowin’ in the wind.

  43. Bridge Over Troubled Water When you’re weary feelin’ small, When tears are in your eyes, I’ll dry them all; I’m on your side. Oh, when times get rough And friends just can’t be found, Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water I will lay me down. Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water I will lay me down.

  44. Imagine - 1 Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today. Imagine there’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace.

  45. Imagine - 2 You, you may say I’m dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope some day you’ll join us, and the world will live as one.

  46. We Shall Overcome - 1 We shall overcome, we shall overcome, We shall overcome some day. Oh, deep in my heart I do believe, We shall overcome some day. We’ll walk hand in hand, We’ll walk hand in hand, We’ll walk hand in hand today. Oh, deep in my heart I do believe, We shall overcome some day.

  47. We Shall Overcome - 2 We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, We shall live in peacesome day. Oh, deep in my heart I do believe, We shall all overcome some day.

  48. PATRIOTIC SONGS

  49. To Anacreon in Heaven The official song of the Anacreontic Society, an 18th-century gentlemen’s club of amateur musicians in London. Text by Ralph Tomlinson, Esqr., late President of that Society. (SOLO) To Anacreon in heav’n where he sat in full glee, A few sons of harmony sent a petition, That he their inspirer and patron would be, When this answer arrived from the jolly old Grecian: Voice, fiddle and flute, no longer be mute, I’ll lend you my name and inspire you to boot! And besides I’ll instruct you like me to entwine The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus’ vine.

  50. The Star-Spangled Banner - 1 Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro’ the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
