When I’m President

Song by Extreme

I remember it well, I was just about three

My dad said, "Son, what do you want to be?"

It didn't ring no bell, but I said

"Daddy, I'm a bit too young, what do you want from me?"

I'm much older now, I'm almost a man

I can do anything, you bet I can

Raise a family, now wouldn't that be grand

So sorry, but I got bigger plans

You can be anything in the world today

Like a preacher, a teacher, a baseball player

Those kind of things I just don't care

I want to represent the USA

Oh, as far as the eye oh say can you see

(I want to be)

I want to be the leader of the country

When I'm President

Things will be different

We'll start a new government

When I'm President

You can be in my cabinet

I'll be your heaven sent

President

First things first, we're gonna change the rules

Better listen up, all you boys and girls

Your prez says there'll be no after school

So vote for me, now wouldn't that be cool

, yeah

(Yeah), yeah

Now I know there's trouble in the Middle East

I'll spend all the money when I stop the Arms Race

On my brothers in the desert, gonna have themselves a feast

When that's done, then we'll start on world peace

Oh, you know what he said

(What did he say?)

"Remember, I wanna be elected"

When I'm president

Things will be different

We'll start a new government

When I'm president

You can be in my cabinet

I'll be your heaven sent president... huh!

President

When I'm president

Things will be different

We'll start a new government

When I'm president

You can be in my cabinet

I'll be your heaven sent...

I'm President!

Things will be different

I'd like a new government

When I'm president

Say, you can be in my cabinet

I'll be your heaven sent president... oh, yeah!

Not gonna do it!

"Li'l Jack Horny"

Extreme

Mother Goose

Never should have ever let that Jack get loose

But that little boy blue

Keeps messing all the things he gets his hands into

Now look what you've done

Stuck in your thumb, pulled out a plum

Mama says, "Boys will be boys."

That Little Jack Horny

Mama says, "Boys will be boys."

That Little Jack Horny

Jack and Jill

Went up and down and up and fooled around the hill

Now only time will tell

How late the rabbit will arrive in Wonderland

Now look what you've done

Stuck in your thumb, pulled out a plum

Mama says, "Boys will be boys."

That Little Jack Horny

Daddy says, "Don't need no birth control."

That Little Jack Horny

Decadence Dance

Extreme

Track 1 on Extreme II: Pornograffitti

[Intro]

Francis!

Francis! Be careful!

Let's go!

[Verse 1]

Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses

Running a rat race won by our noses

Always put one foot in front of the other

And dance to the beat of the decadent drummer

[Pre Chorus]

Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes

Climbing to the top, never gonna stop

It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance

[Chorus]

Dance, dance

Dancing to the decadence dance, dance

Everybody decadancing

Dancing to the decadence

Dancing to the decadence dance, dance, dance

[Verse 2]

It's hard to stop once the music gets started

'Til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did

Stepping in line with the sign of the timer

Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer

Whoo! The decadent dancer

[Pre Chorus]

Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes

Climbing to the top, never gonna stop

It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance

[Chorus]

Dance, dance

Dancing to the decadence dance, dance

Everybody decadancing

Dancing to the decadence

Dancing to the decadence dance, dance, dance, dance

Dancing to the decadence dance, dance

Everybody decadancing

Dancing to the decadence

Dancing to the decadence dance, dance, dance

Dance, dance, dance

Rock & Roll Over

Song by Mr. Big

When the honeymoon's over

Where do we go from here

What do we do when we get there

Who's at the other end

Yeah, one minute after midnight

When it's all been said and done

Is that the way it is in real life

Time marches on

After the shock

We rock & roll over, over & then

Show your true colors

Put on a new face

Love is like a faucet

Turnin' off and on

Rock & roll over

Will the real you stand up

Same time next year

Life is full of chances

It's the lady or the tiger

There's never any answers

Uhh, one minute after midnight

When it's all been said and done

Is that the way it is in real life

Time marches on

After the shock

We rock & roll over, over & then

Show your true colors

Put on a new face

Love is like a faucet

Turnin' off and on

Rock & roll over

Will the real you stand up

Love and hate is a fine, fine line

But if you're the cure, now, baby, I'll make the time

Uhh, one minute after midnight

When it's all been said and done

After the shock

Yeah, baby, we rock

Rock & roll over, over & then

Anything for You

Song by Mr. Big

You have me burnin' up

With your bad timing

One small moment

I'm lost in your love

I'm lost and innocent

Turn my head around

Your one liners

I can do without

Easy come, easy go

I can't back down baby

I should have let you know that

I would do anything for you

Anything for you

If I only had you by my side

I would do anything for you

Anything for you

So wave goodbye

Anything for you

One day comes

And I disappear

You'll get your independence

Free and clear

Ah, you got it in you

A chance to make it work

Your heart will keep on beating

And I'll still hurt

Easy come, easy go

Before we throw it away

Can't you hear me sayin', baby?

I would do anything for you

Anything for you

If I only had you by my side

I would do anything for you

Anything for you

If we say goodbye, I'll be waiting for you

(Solo)

Easy come, easy go

I can't back down now, baby...

I should've let you know that

I would do anything for you

Anything for you

If I only had you by my side

I would do anything for you

Anything for you

If you wave goodbye, I'll still be waiting

I would do anything for you (I'll do anything for you)

Anything for you

If I only had you by my side

Anything for you

So wave goodbye

Anything for you...

How Can You Do What You Do

You can knock me out
I've been down for the ten-count before
Better give it up
Don't have to show me I've had enough

[1st B-Section:]
I've seen the way you've been
Stealin' with those eyes.
You're high-heeled trouble
You're dangerous
With a criminal mind

[Chorus:]
How can you do what you do
What you've done to me
Take the pain and the pleasure
Turn it around on me
How can you do what you do
Is what I don't believe

Break down the walls
Live and learn from a hurricane
You just can't come and go
Another hit on the hurt parade

[2nd B-Section:]
You think I love it when you're
Tearin' me apart
Don't you see, you're playin' games
With my heart

[Chorus:]
How can you do what you do
What you've done to me
Take the pain and the pleasure
Turn it around on me
How can you do what you do
Is what I don't believe

[Bridge:]
What went wrong
Who's to blame
Tell me now
You're never gonna change

[Lead Solo]

[1st B-Section:]
I've seen the way you've been
Stealin' with those eyes
You're high-heeled trouble
You're dangerous with a criminal mind

Big Love

Song by Mr. Big

I swear by loveYou got itAll and much moreThan one could ever hope for'Cause I would take a numberJust to wait in line for a lookAnd to gimme the high sign

Red lights, green lightsGo for the goldSomething inside, I want you nowI want it all, and more than you know

My mind is twisted, tied up in knotsMy heart is achin' from a shot in the darkI got a feeling; what this is all about?I think it's time for the big loveI'm gettin' ready for the big love

Everytime I think about youI get a lump in my throatFrom the big beat in my heartI am helpless, hungry for attentionI know you could see me fall apart

Red lights, green lightsGo for the goldSomething inside, I want you nowI want it all, and more than you know

My mind is twisted, tied up in knotsMy heart is achin' from a shot in the darkI got a feeling; what this is all about?I think it's time for the big loveI'm gettin' ready for the big love

Ready, willing, and ableGive me the chance to show youI want it allMore than you know
