1. Grease
I solve my problems and I see the light
We got a lovin thing. We gotta treat it right.
There ain’t no danger coming from afar
We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word…
They think our love is just growin pain
Why don’t they understand?
It’s just a cryin shame.
Their lips are lying but we know it’s real
We stop fighting now, We got to be what we feel.
Grease is the word (is the word, is the word that you heard etc)
It’s got groove
It’s got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling.
REPEAT
We take the pressure and we throw away.
Conventionality belongs to yesterday.
There is a chance that we can make it so far.
We start believing now that we can be who we are.
Grease is the word
It’s got groove
It’s got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling.
This is a life of illusion
Wrapped in troubles, laced in confusion.
What are we doing here?
We take the pressure and we throw away.
Conventionality belongs to yesterday.
2. Summer nights
B Summer lovin, had me a blast
G Summer lovin, happened so fast

All Summer days, drifting away to
Uh oh, those summer nights.

B Do you think she’s a star?
G Tell me more. Tell me more.
G Like does he have a car?
B She swam by more; she got the cramp
G He ran by me; got my suit damp
B Saved her life; she nearly drowned.
G He showed off; splashing around.
ALL Summer sun, something’s begun
But uh, Oh those summer nights.
Well a well a well a uh
G Tell me more, tell me more
G Was it love at first sight?
B Tell me more, tell me more.

B Took me bowling in the arcade
G We went strolling, drank lemonade

But uh, oh those summer nights.
G Tell me more, tell me more
G How much dough did he spend?
B Tell me more, tell me more
B Could she get me a friend?
G it turned colder; that’s where it ends
B So I told her, we’d still be friends.
G We’ll meet up. I wonder how?

All summer dreams, ripped at the seams,
But oh, those summer nights!
Tell me more, tell me more.
3. Sandra Dee
Look at me, I’m Sandra dee
Sweet and shy as you can see.
I like it at school but I long to be cool
I’m just plain Sandra Dee.
Look at me, I’m Sandra Dee
There is only one of me
Let’s make amends I just want to be friends.
I’m just plain Sandra Dee.
Look at me, there has to be
Something more than what they see.
It’s really true I am scared and unsure
I’m not plain Sandra Dee.
Sandy, you must start anew,
Don’t you know what you must do?
Hold your head high, take a deep breath and cry.
Goodbye, to Sandra Dee.
4. Hopelessly devoted to you.
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I’m not the first to know
There’s just no getting over you.
You know I’m just a fool who’s willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby, can’t you see
There’s nothing else for me to do?
I’m hopelessly devoted to you.
But now there’s nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I’m out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you.
My head is saying, “Fool, forget him”
My heart is saying, “Don’t let go. Hold on til the end.”
And that’s what I intend to do
I’m hopelessly devoted to you.
But now, there’s nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I’m out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you.
5. Greased lightning
Well this car is automatic, it’s systematic, it’s hydromatic
Why it’s a grease lightning!
We’ll get some overhead lifters and four barrel pods, oh yeah
Keep talkin, whoah keep talkin
Fuel injection cut off and chrome plated rods, oh yeah
I’ll get the money, I’ll see you get the money
With a four-speed on the floor, we’ll be waitin at the door
When we get this baby fitted all the girls are gonna hit on
Greased lightning
Chorus
Go, Greased lightning, you.re burnin up the quarter mile
Greased lightnin, go greased lightning
Go, greased lightning, you’re coastin through the heat lap trial
You are supreme, the chicks’ll scream, for greased lightning.
We’ll get some purple French tail lights and thirty inch fins, oh yeah.
A palomino dashboard and duel muffler twins, oh yeah
With new piston plugs and shocks, I can get off starting blocks
You know that I ain’t bragging, she’s a real classy wagon
Greased lighhtnin.
Chorus repeat x2
6. Born to Hand Jive
Before I was born, late one night
My papa said ev’rything’s alright
The doctor made mamma lay down
As she kept on bouncing all around
Cause a be-bop stork was about to arrive
Mama gave birth to the hand jive.
I could barely walk when I milked a cow
And when I was three I pushed a plough
While choppin wood, I’d move my legs
And I started dancing while I gathered eggs
The town folk clapped, ui was only five
He’ll out dance ‘em, He’s born to hand jive.
Born to hand jive baby
Born to hand jive baby
Verse 1 again
Now you can hand jive baby
Oh you can hand jive baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah. Born to hand jive, oh yeah.
7. Grease – I got chills
I got chills, they’re multiplyin and I’m losin control
Cause the power you’re supplyin (it’s electrifyin)
You better shape up, cause I need a boy
And my heart is set on you, you better shape up
You better understand, to my heart I must be true
(Nothin left, nothing left for me to do)
Chorus
You’re the one that I want (oo..oo..honey)
You’re the one that I want (oo..oo..honey)
You’re the one that I want, You..oo are what I need
Oh yes..indeed.
If you’re filled with affection,
You’re too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction, walk this way,
I better shape up
Cause you need a boy who can look you in the eye
I better shape up
If I’m gonna prove that my faith is justified.
Are you sure? Yes, I’m sure down deep in side.
Chorus
