... Sings Stevie Wonder

# Very superstitious

# Writing's on the wall

# Very superstitious

# Ladder's 'bout to fall

# 13-month-old baby

# Broke the looking glass

# Yeah

# Seven years of bad luck... #

# Baby

# Everything is all right

# Uptight

# Out of sight

# Baby

# Everything is all right

# Uptight

# Out of sight

# I'm a poor man's daughter from across the railroad tracks

# The only shirt I own is hanging on my back

# But I've got my choice of every single guy

# Since I'm the apple of my baby's eye

# When we go out stepping on the town for a while

# My spirit is low and my clothes out of style

# But it's all right if my clothes aren't new

# Out of sight because my heart is true

# He says, "Baby

# "Baby, everything is all right

# "It's uptight

# "Out of sight"

# Baby

# Everything is all right

# Uptight Out of sight

# Baby

# It's all right

# Uptight

# Out of sight

# Baby

# Everything is all right

# Uptight

# Out of sight

# Baby

# Everything is all right

# Uptight

# Out of sight. #

# Discovering love to be so true when shared by two

# Not only one

# When you said you loved me

# When you said you loved me

# We could not be parted

# We could not be parted

# And I built my world around you

# Built my world around you

# I'm so thankful that I found you

# Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever

# And I never felt like this before

# Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever

# Each night I pray we never part

# All the love within my heart grows stronger

# From day to day

# As best I can How I try

# To reassure and satisfy

# Cos I'd be lost if you went away

# Yes, I really need you

# Yes, I really need you

# And I need for you to need me too

# For you to need me too

# I built my world around you

# Built my world around you

# I'm so thankful that I found you

# Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever

# And I never felt like this before

# Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever

# And I never felt like this before

# Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever

# And I never felt like this before

# Loving you. #

# For once in my life

# I have someone who needs me

# Someone

# I've needed so long

# For once, unafraid

# I can go where life leads me

# And somehow

# I know I'll be strong

# For once

# I can touch what my heart used to dream of

# Long before I knew

# Someone

# Warm like you

# Would make my dream come true

# For once in my life

# I won't let sorrow hurt me

# Not like it's hurt me

# Before

# For once I have someone

# I know won't desert me

# I'm not alone any more

# For once I can say

# This is mine You can't take it

# As long as I know I have love

# I can make it

# For once in my life

# I have someone

# Who needs me

# For once I can say

# This is mine You can't take it

# As long as I

# Know I have love

# I can make it

# For once in my life

# I have

# Someone who needs me. #

# I never dreamed

# You'd leave in summer

# I thought you would go

# Then come back home

# And I thought the cold

# Would leave by summer

# But my quiet nights

# Will be spent alone

# You said then there'd be warm love

# In springtime

# But that was when you started

# To be cold

# No, I never dreamed

# You'd leave in summer

# But now I find myself

# All alone

# You said then you'd be my love

# In autumn

# Said you'd be the one

# To show the way

# No, I

# I never dreamed

# You'd leave in summer

# But now I find my love

# Has gone away

# Why didn't you stay?

# Why didn't you stay?

# Why didn't you stay?

# Why didn't you stay?

# Why didn't you stay?

# Ooh-hoo

# Why?

# Why didn't you stay?

# Why didn't you stay? #

Right now, we'd like to do a medley of songs

written by our favourite composer. That is our friend Stevie Wonder!

# The people

# Keep on learning

# Soldiers

# Keep on warring

# World

# Keep on turning

# Cos it won't be too long

# Oh, no

# I'm so darn glad he let me try it again

# Cos I'm so tired of living in the home of the sin

# I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then

# But I keep on trying

# Till I reach my highest ground

# Till I reach my highest ground

# Till I reach my highest ground. #

Oh, yeah! Hey!

# Like a fool I went and stayed too long

# Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong

# Ooh, baby

# Here I am

# Signed, sealed, delivered

# I'm yours, baby

# Here I am, baby

# Signed, sealed, delivered

# I'm yours, baby

# Here I am, baby

# Signed, sealed, delivered

# I'm yours. #

All right, now! Let's everybody clap our hands and sing along

to Superstition!

# Very superstitious

# Writing's on the wall

# Very superstitious

# Ladder's 'bout to fall

# 13-month-old baby

# Broke the looking glass

# Seven years of bad luck

# The good things in the past

# When you believe in things

# You don't understand

# Don't you know you're gonna suffer

# Superstition ain't the way

# Superstition

# Ah, superstition ain't the way

# Very superstitious

# Yeah. #

# For once in my life I have someone who needs me

# Someone I've needed so long

# For once, unafraid I can go where life leads me

# Somehow I know I'll be strong... #

# For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of

# Long before I knew

# Oh-oh, someone warm like you

# Oh, could make my dreams come true

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me

# Not like it's hurt me before

# For once, unafraid I can go where life leads me

# I'm not alone any more

# For once I can say This is mine, you can't take it

# As long as I know I have love I can make it

# For once in my life I have someone who needs

# Someone who needs me

# Someone who needs me... #

You know, there's someone that we sure need,

and that's the fine orchestra behind us.

I wish you'd all help us to thank HB Barnum and his Orchestra!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

From the magical pen...

..of Stevie Wonder.

APPLAUSE

# All in love

# Is fair

# For love's a crazy game

# Two people vow to stay

# In love as one

# They say

# But all is changed

# With time

# The future

# None can see

# The roads you leave behind

# Ahead lies

# Mystery

# But all in love is fair

# I had to go away

# A writer takes his pen

# To write these words again

# That all in love

# Is fair

# All

# Of fate's a chance

# It's either good

# Or it's bad

# I tossed my coin to say

# In love with me

# You'll stay

# And all in war

# Is so cold

# You either win

# Or you lose

# And when the game is played

# The winner must be paid

# Love

# Love is fair

# I should have never, never, never, never

# Left your side

# A writer takes his pen

# To write these words again

# That all in love

# Is fair

# A writer

# Takes his pen

# To write these words again

# That all in love

# Is fair

# All in love

# Is fair. #

APPLAUSE

# Shattered dreams

# Worthless years

# Here am I encased inside an empty shell

# Life began

# Then was done

# Now I stare into a cold and empty well

# The many sounds that meet our ears

# The sights our eyes behold

# Will open up our merging hearts

# And feed our empty souls

# I believe when I fall in love with you

# It will be for ever

# I believe when I fall in love this time

# It will be for ever

# Without despair

# We will share

# And the joys of caring will not be replaced

# What has been

# Must never end

# And with the strength we have won't be erased

# When the truths of love are planted firm

# They won't be hard to find

# And the words of love I speak to you

# Will echo in my mind

# I believe when I fall in love with you

# It will be for ever

# I believe when I fall in love

# This time it will be for ever

# I believe when I fall in love with you

# It will be for ever

# I believe when I fall in love

# This time it will be for ever

# I believe when I fall in love with you

# It will be for ever

# I believe when I fall in love

# This time it will be for ever

# I believe when I fall in love with you

# It will be for ever... #

APPLAUSE

# Isn't she lovely?

# Isn't she wonderful?

# Isn't she precious?

# Less than one minute old

# I never thought through love we'd be

# Making one as lovely as she

# But isn't she lovely made from love?

# Isn't she precious?

# Truly the angel's best

# Boy, I'm so happy

# We have been heaven blessed

# I can't believe what God has done

# Through us he's given life to one

# Isn't she lovely made from love?

# Isn't she lovely?

# Love and life are the same

# Life is Aisha

# The meaning of her name

# Londie, it could have not been done

# Without you who conceived the one

# That's so very lovely made from love

# Isn't she lovely?

# Isn't she wonderful?

# Isn't she precious?

# Less than one minute old

# I can't believe what God has done... #

APPLAUSE

# Music is a world within itself

# With a language we all understand

# With an equal opportunity

# For all to sing and dance and clap their hands

# But just because a record has a groove

# Don't make it in the groove

# But you can tell right away from letter A

# When the people start to move

# You can feel it all over

# You can feel it all over, people

# You can feel it all over

# You can feel it all over, people

HE SCATS

# Music knows it is and always will

# Be one of the things that life just won't quit

# But here are some of music's pioneers

# That time will not allow us to forget

# Well, there's Basie Miller, Satchmo

# And the king of all, Sir Duke

# And with a voice like Ella's ringing out

# There's no way this band can lose

# They can feel it all over

# They can feel it all over, people

# They can feel it all over

# They can feel it all over, people

# Oh! #

HE SCATS

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

# Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty

# His parents give him love and affection

# To keep him strong Moving in the right direction

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# His father works some days for 14 hours

# And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

# His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

# You'd best believe she hardly gets a penny

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# Whoa-oah!

# His sister's black But she is good and pretty

# Her skirt is short But, Lord, her legs are sturdy

# To walk to school She's got to get up early

# Her clothes are old But never are they dirty

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# Ohh-ohh!

# Her brother's smart He's got more sense than many

# His patience's long But soon he won't have any

# To find a job is like a haystack needle

# Cos where he lives They don't use coloured people

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# His hair is long His feet are hard and gritty

# He spends his life walking the streets of New York City

# He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution

# He tried to vote But to him there's no solution

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# Yeah!

# I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow

# It motivates you to make a better tomorrow

# This place is cruel Nowhere could be much colder

# If we don't change The world will soon be over

# Living just enough

# Living just enough for the city Yeah!

# Just enough

# Just enough for the city

# Just enough

# Just enough for the city. #

# Always reachin' out in vain

# Just taking the things not worth having

# But don't you worry 'bout a thing

# Don't you worry 'bout a thing, baby

# Cos I'll be standing on the side

# Peace has come to Zimbabwe

# Third World's right on the one

# Now's the time for celebration

# Cos we've only just begun

# Didn't know you

# Would be jamming until the break of dawn

# And nobody ever told you that you
