Now it's always once upon a timeIn New York City

It's a big old, bad old, tough old town, it's trueBut beginnings are contagious thereThey're always setting stages thereThey're always turning pages there for you

Ain't it great the way it all beginsin New York City?Right away you're making time and making friendsNo one cares where you were yesterdayIf they pick you out you're on your way

2/5

To a once upon a time that never ends

So, Oliver, don't be shyGet out there, let go and tryBelieving that you're the guyThey're dying to see'Cause a dream's no crimeNot once upon a timeOnce upon a time in New York City

If it's always once upon a timeIn New York CityWhy does nightfall find you feeling so alone?How could anyone stay starry eyedWhen it's raining cats and dogs outsideAnd the rain is saying, "Now you're on your own"?

So, Oliver, don't be scaredThough yesterday no one caredThey're getting your place preparedWhere you want to beKeep your dream aliveDreaming is still how the strong surviveOnce upon a time in New York City

Keep your dream aliveDreaming is still how the strong surviveOnce upon a time in New York CityKeep your dream aliveDreaming is still how the strong surviveOnce upon a time in New York CityAnd it's always once upon a timeIn New York City

Perfect Isn't EasyFrom "Oliver & Company"Music: Barry ManilowLyrics: Jack Feldman & Bruce SussmanPerformed by: Bette Midler [Georgette]

Girl, we've got work to doPass me the paint and gluePerfect isn't easyBut it's meWhen one knows the world is watchingOne does what one mustSome minor adjustments, darling

Not for my vanityBut for humanity

Each little step a poseSee how the breeding showsSometimes it's too much for even meBut when all the world says, "Yes"Then who am I to say "No"?Don't ask a mutt to strut like a show girlNo, girl, you need a pro

Not a flea or a flawTake a peek at that pawLa la la laPerfection becomes me, nest ce pas?Unrivaled, unruffledI'm beauty unleashedYeah!Jarred rock, hard stockSo classc and classyWe're not talking Lassie

And Ah! Ah! Ooo. . .

Tho' many covet my bone and bowlThey're barking up the wrong treeYou pretty pups all over the cityI have your hearts and you have my pityPretty is nice but stillIt's just prettyPerfect, my dearsIs me

oliver/streets::::::::::::::Streets of GoldFrom "Oliver & Company"Music: Tom SnowLyrics: Dean PitchfordPerformed by: Ruth Pointer [Rita]

Now listen upYou've got a lot to learnAnd if you don't learn you don't eatBut if you're toughAnd always use your head

You'll feel right at home on the streetWhen you've got talent ev'rything is freeWatch how we do things, oooh, I guarantee

You're gonna see how the best surviveWe make an art out of staying aliveIf you do just as you're toldThese are streets of goldEv'ry boulevard is a miracle mileYou'll take the town and you'll take it with styleIf you play it brave and boldThese are streets of gold

To live from week to weekYou need techniqueSo you practice ev'ry dayThe only rule is:Thou shalt not get caughtGet what you can and then get awayRemember all the places you can hideRemember we are always on your side

You're gonna see how the best survive

From "Oliver & Company"Music & Lyrics: Dan Hartman & Charlie MidnightPerformed by: Billy Joel [Dodger]

One minute I'm in Central ParkThen I'm down on Delancey StreetFrom the Bow'ry to St MarksThere's a syncopated beat

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whooI'm streetwiseI can improviseWhoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

I'm streetsmartI've got New York City heart

Why should I worry?Why should I care?I may not have a dimeBut I got street savoire faireWhy should I worry?Why should I care?It's just bebopulationAnd I got street saviore faire

The rhythm of the city

But once you get it downThen you can own this townYou can wear the crown

Why should I worry?Why should I care?I may not have a dimeBut I got street savoire faireWhy should I worry?Why should I care?

It's just bebopulationAnd I got street saviore faire

Ev'rything goesEv'rything fitsThey love me at the ChelseaThey adore me at the Ritz

Why should I worry?Why should I care?And even when I cross that lineI got street savoire faire

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
