'Cause I don't wanna walk alone I'm ready for this, there's no denying I'm ready for this, you stop me falling I'm ready for this, I need you all in I'm ready for this, so darling, hold my hand

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge] Don't wanna know that feeling when I'm all alone So please don't make me wait, 'cause I don't wanna break And I don't wanna fall When you're next to me can tell I'm not afraid to be That you don't make me wait, and never let me break You never let me fall

[Verse] Days can be sunny, With never a sigh; Don't need what money can buy. Birds in their tree sing Their day full of song; Why shouldn't we sing along? I'm chipper all the day, Happy with my lot; How do I get that way? Look at what I've got…

[Chorus] I got rhythm I got music I got my man Who could ask for anything more? I got daisies In green pastures, I got my man/girl Who could ask for anything more? Old Man Trouble? I don't mind him. You won't find him 'Round my door! I got starlight, I got sweet dreams, I got my man, Who could ask for anything more? Who could ask for anything more?

[Repeat All]

5 – Rockstar (A Great Big World) Writer/s: C.Vaccarino, I.Axel Vocal Arrangement: Sing Up

CD Track #: 5 – Rockstar (2-Part Arrangement)

[Verse 1] There's a girl in the backyard bangin' on her drum, Sittin’ in a junk pile laughing at the sun, Singin’ ‘ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar. There's a boy in the backseat singin’ to the song Playing on the radio, knowing he's the one, Singin’ ‘ah ha ha I just wanna be a rockstar, Singin’ ‘ah ha ha I was born to be a rockstar.

[Verse 2] There's a girl in the treetop looking at the stars, Waiting for a touchdown comin’ in from Mars, Thinking… is there anybody out there? There's a boy thinkin’ of her playin’ his guitar, Searching for the answer buried in his heart, Thinkin’ ‘ah ha ha is there anybody out there? Singin’ ‘ah ha ha is there anybody out there?

[Chorus] If there's a meaning can you show me a sign? The more I look, it just gets harder to find. The world is spinnin’ and I wanna know why.

[Verse 3] And we're all getting older wishing we were young, Hanging on the memory of what we would be become, Singin’ ‘ah ha ha I was born to be a rockstar Singin’ ‘ah ha ha I just wanna be a rockstar Singin’ ‘ah ha ha I was born to be a rockstar

[Short Instrumental]

[Outro] Singing ‘ah ha ha I was born to be a rockstar

6 – Bare Necessities (The Jungle Book) Writer/s: T.Gilkyson Vocal Arrangement: Sing Up

CD Track #: 6 – Bare Necessities (Melody only) CD Track #: 7 – Bare Necessities (3/4-Part Arrangement)

[Vocal sheet music included showing full arrangement]

[Chorus 1] Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities, Forget about your worries and your strife! I mean the bare necessities, old Mother Nature’s recipes, That bring the bare necessities of life.

[Verse 1] Wherever I wander, wherever I roam, I couldn’t be fonder of my big home. The bees are buzzing in the trees To make some honey just for me. When you look under the rocks and plants And take a glance at the fancy ants, And maybe try a few, The bare necessities of life will come to you!

[Chorus 2] Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities, Forget about your worries and your strife! I mean the bare necessities, that’s why a bear can rest at ease With just the bare necessities of life.

[Verse 2] Now, when you pick a paw-paw, or a prickly pear The you prick a raw paw, next time beware! Don’t pick a prickly pear by the paw, When you pick a pear try to use the claw! But you don’t need to use the claw When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw, Have I given you a clue? (You better believe it!) The bare necessities of life will come to you!

[Repeat Chorus 2]
