Mrs. Barbary's Miraculous Show of Shows
A Variety Show to Benefit Our Scholarship Fund

WHAT IS IT? -- A rather zany variety show featuring current and past members of Mrs. Barbary's Homeschool Choirs, their families and friends. Acts have included: Irish step dancing, magic tricks, square dancing, Tae Kwon Do forms, juggling, joke telling, the Oh-So-Fabulous One-Rehearsal-Only Parent Choir . . .  and, of course, lots and lots of singing.

WHEN IS IT? -- SATURDAY, September 29  at 7:00 P.M. (6:30 CALL)

WHERE IS IT? -- Valley Presbyterian Church, 945 Portola Road, Portola Valley

Please contact Mrs. Barbary straightaway with your brilliant performance ideas. Preference will be given to ensemble pieces. Parents are particularly encouraged to participate.

$20/Family suggested donation collected at the door. (No one turned away for lack of funds.) 100% of proceeds benefit the scholarship fund.

Members of both choirs will join to perform 3 songs:

TAKE THE "A" TRAIN

You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem

If you miss the A train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem

 

Hurry, get on, now it's coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming

 

All 'board, get on the A train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

 

 

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.


Chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
(oh, baby, don't let me go!)
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring. (Chorus)


Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say, (Chorus)

 

 

TWIST AND SHOUT

 

Chorus: Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (Twist and shout)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now (Come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)

Well, work it on out (Work it on out)
You know you look so good (Look so good)
You know you got me goin', now (Got me goin')
Just like I knew you would (Like I knew you would)

Chorus

You know you twist, little girl (Twist little girl)
You know you twist so fine (Twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer, now (Twist a little closer)
And let me know that you're mine (Let me know you're mine)

Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah


Chorus

Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now (Shake it up baby)
Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now (Shake it up baby)
Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now (Shake it up baby)


Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
