2 - Bugsy Malone (the Three Girl Singers)
He's a sinner
Candy-coated
For all his friends
He always seems to be alone
But they love him
Bugsy Malone
City slicker
He can charm you
With a smile and a style all his own
Everybody loves that man
Bugsy Malone
Hot-headed Bugsy makes his mind up
Don't mess with Bugsy or you'll wind up
Wishing you'd left well enough alone
He's a man, a mountain
He's a rolling stone
And will he leave you
Sad and lonely, crying
I couldn't say, but it's known
That everybody wants that man
Bugsy Malone

5 - Tomorrow (Fizzy)
Tomorrow
Tomorrow never comes
What kind of a fool
Do they take me for?
Tomorrow
A resting place for bums
A trap set in the slums
But I know the score
I won't take no for an answer
I was born to be a dancer now, Yeah!
 Tomorrow
Tomorrow, as they say
Another working day and another chore
Tomorrow
An awful price to pay
I gave up yesterday
But they still want more
They are bound to compare me
To Fred Astaire when I'm done
Anyone who feels the rhythm
Movin' through em
Knows it's gonna do em good
To let the music burst out
When you feel assured
Let the people know it
Let your laughter loose
Until your scream
Becomes a love-shout, ah_____________
Tomorrow
Tomorrow's far away
Tomorrow, as they say,
Is reserved for dreams
Tomorrow
Tomorrow's looking grey
A playground always locked
Trains no winning teams
I won't take no for an answer
I was born to be a dancer now Yeah!
Anyone who feels the rhythm moving through
em
Knows it's gonna do em good
To let the music burst out
When you feel assured
Let the people know it.
Let your laughter loose
Until your scream becomes a love shout

7 - Show Business (Lena)
MAY BE SHORTENED!
I’m in show bus'ness
I've travelled far.
That's right you got it, a neon star.
I started at the bottom
But I reached the top
And once your name’s in lights
You know you'll never stop.
Show bus'ness is all I need
Gimme the chance and I'll take the lead.
When the music's playing
I can't help but sing,
And with the dancers swaying
I'm right in the swing of it.
Show bus'ness.
It's lucky breaks.
A chance to show if
You got what it takes.
Give it your best and
You're on your way.
Let the big band play!

8 - Bad Guys (Fat Sam’s Gang)
We could've been anything that we wanted to be
But don't it make your heart glad
That we decided, a fact we take pride in
We became the best at being bad
We could've been anything we wanted to be
With all the talent we had
No doubt about it, we whine and we pout it
We're the very best at being bad guys
We're rotten to the core
And my congratulations no one likes you any more
Bad guys, we're the very worst
Each of us contemptible, we're criticised and cursed
We made the big time, malicious and mad
We're the very best at being bad
We could've been anything we wanted to be
We took the easy way out
With little training, we mastered complaining
Manners seemed unnecessary
We're so rude, it's almost scary
We could've been anything that we wanted to be
With all the talent we had
With little practice, we made every black list
We're the very best at being bad
We're the very best at being bad
We're the very best at being bad
9 - I’m Feeling Fine (Blousey)
I'm feeling fine
Filled with emotions
Stronger than wine
They give me the notion
That this strange new feeling
Is something that you're feeling
too________________
Matter of fact
I'm forced to admit it
Caught in the act, and maybe we've hit it
Is this strange new feeling
Something that you're feeling
too? __________________

(Blousey – slower than normal)
Hot-headed Bugsy makes his mind up
Don't mess with Bugsy or you'll wind up
Wishing you'd left well enough alone
He's a man, a mountain
He's a rolling stone
And will he leave you
Sad and lonely, crying
I couldn't say, but it's known
That everybody wants that man

 10 - My Name is Talullah
Lonely
(Tallulah and Grand Slam Girls???)
You don't have to be lonely
My name is Tallulah Come and see Tallulah
My first rule of thumb We can chase your troubles away
I don't say where I'm going If you're lonely
Or where I'm coming from You don't have to be lonely
I try to leave a little reputation behind me When they talk about Tallulah
So if you really need to You know what they say
You'll know how to find me No one south of Heaven's
Gonna treat you finer
My name is Tallulah Tallulah had her training
I live till I die In North Carolina
I'll take what you give me
And I won't ask why
I've made a lot of friends
In some exotic places 11 - So You Wanna Be A Boxer (Cagey Joe)
I don't remember names
So you wanna be a boxer
But I remember faces
In the golden ring
Can you punch like a south-bound freight train
Lonely
Tell me just one thing
You don't have to be lonely
Come and see Tallulah
Can you move in a whirl like a humming bird's wing
We can chase your troubles away, oh
If you need to
If you're lonely
Can you bob, can you weave can you fake and
You don't have to be lonely
deceive when you need to?
When they talk about Tallulah
Well, you might as well quit
You know what they say
If you haven't got it
No one south of Heaven's
Gonna treat you finer
So you wanna be a boxer
Tallulah had her training
Can you pass the test?
In North Carolina
I can tell you've got it in you
I've trained the best
My name is Tallulah
And soon I'll be gone
When you work and you sweat
An open invitation
And you bet that you train to a buzz-saw
Is the road I'll travel on
Then you near lose your mind
I'll never say goodbye
When you find that your boy has a glass jaw
Because the words upset me
So you might as well quit
You may forgive my going
But you won't forget me If you haven't got it.
 Put him in the ring, Joe
Look at what you found
We can use the fun, Joe
Pushing him around
Well show him the ropes
And destroy his hopes
Put him in the ring, Joe
Give the guy a chance
Let him feel the sting, Joe
We can make him dance
We'll pulp him to bits
Then he'll call it quits for sure, Joe
So you wanna be a boxer
Wanna be the champ
There's a golden boy inside you
Not a punched-out tramp
If you listen and you learn
There's an honour you can earn and defend here
When you do see the crown
You're a king not a clown
A contender
But you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
Put him in the ring, Joe
Something new to punch
Let me have a swing, Joe
Then we'll go to lunch
We'll make it quite swift
Then he'll get the drift
Put him in the ring, Joe
Chicken a la carte
Let me have a wing, Joe
Tearing him apart
That chicken will crow
oh let me have him Joe
12 - Ordinary Fool (Blousey)
Only a fool, like fools before me
I always think with my heart
Only a fool
That same old story
Seems I was born for the part
It's a lesson that I've learned
And a page I should have turned
I shouldn't cry, but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When his ordinary dreams fall through
How many times have I mistaken
Good looks and laughs for bad news
How many times have I mistaken
Love songs and laughs for the blues
When a road I've walked before
Ends alone at my front door
I shoudn't cry, but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When her ordinary dreams fall through.
Instrumental
It's a lesson that I've learned

I shouldn't cry, but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When his ordinary dreams fall through
 13 - Down and Out (Down and Outs)
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
Think of all the time you waste
And time's a precious thing to let go by
Sure you've hit the bottom
But remember you'll be building from the ground up
Ev'ry day's another step
That takes you even closer to the sky, so give a try
I'd be delighted to give it some thought
May-be you'll agree that we really ought
(Two, three, four)
We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
Yes, that decision was ours
It's been decided we're weaker divided
Let friendship double up our powers
We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
And I'm not saying we should
But if we try it, we'd learn to abide it
We could be the best at bein' good guys

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out Flowers of the earth
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out Who can even guess how much
A real friend is worth?
You don't have to sit around Good guys, shake an open hand
Depressed about the way that luck deceived you
Fortune sailed away, you missed that boat
Maybe we'll be trusting
And found that you'd been left behind
If we try to understand
Fight and fight some more
No doubt about it
Until you know the world is ready to receive you
It must be worthwhile
Lady luck's a fickle bird
Good friends do tend to make you smile
But a lady is allowed to change her mind

We could've been anything

You don't have to sit around
That we wanted to be
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
Yes, that decision was ours
So be a man you know you can't be certain
It's been decided we're weaker divided
That you'll lose until you try
Let friendship double our powers
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
You give a little love
So be a man you know you can't be certain
And it all comes back to you
That you'll lose until you try, so give it a try
(Da da da ra da da da)
You know you gonna be remembered
We as one shout up, up, up and out
For the things that you say and do
(Repeat and fade)
(Da da da ra da da da)
14 - You Give a Little Love (all)
(Repeat and fade)
We could've been anything
