Cash Changes Everything

Ps: The black words are the original lyrics, the green onces are the spoofed version.

Cash Changes Everything (I)
Love, love chang-es ev-‘ry-thing: hands and faces, earth and sky
Cash, cash chang-es ev-‘ry-thing: hands and faces, earth and sky

Love, love chang-es ev-‘ry-thing: how you live and how you die.
Cash, cash chang-es ev-‘ry-thing: how you live and how you die.

Love can make the sum-mer fly or a night seem like a life-time.
Cash now give us end-less fun or a night seem like a life-time.

Yes love, love chang-es ev-‘ry-thing: Now I tremble at your name.
Yes cash, cash chang-es ev-‘ry-thing: Now I tremble at your name.

Noth-ing in the world will ev-er be the same.
Noth-ing in the world will ev-er be the same.

Cash Changes Everything (II)
Off in-to the world we go; plan-ning futures, shap-ing years.
Off in-to the world we go; plan-ning shop-ping, try-ing shoes.

Love, bursts in and sud-den-ly, all our wis-dom dis-ap-pears.
Cash, bursts in and sud-den-ly, all our wor-ries dis-ap-pears.

Love makes fools of ev-ery-one; all the rules we make are bro-ken.
Cash makes fools of ev-ery-one; all the nets and cre-dit cards too.

Yes love, love chang-es ev-‘ry-one; live or pe-rish in its flame.
Yes cash, cash -es ev-‘ry-one; live or pe-rish in its bills.

Love will nev-er, nev-er let you be the same.
Cash will nev-er, nev-er let you be the same.

Lover will nev-er, nev-er let you be the same.
Cash will nev-er, nev-er let you be the same.

Ah –
Yes cash –

First Man You Remember

[Guys] I want to be the first man you remember
I want to be the last man you forget
I want to be the one you’ll always turn to
I want to be the one you won’t regret

May I be first to say you look delightful
May I be first to dance you round the floor
The very first to see your face by moonlight
The very first to walk you to the door

[Girls] Well young man I’ll be delighted
There is nothing I would rather do
What could be a sweeter mem’ry
Than sharing my first bill with you?

[Guys] I want to be the first man you remember
[Girls] The very first to buy me a big treat
[Guys] I want to be the one you always turn to
[Girls] The first to make my young heart miss a beat
(Away from the guys, but facing the audience) ew!
[Both] The very first...
The very first!

Other Pleasures

Other pleasures, and I've known many...
Afternoons in warm Venetian squares
Brief encounters, long siestas...
Pleasures old and new, can't compare with you

You amaze me! Where did you come from?
You do things champagne could never do.
Crystal winters, crimson summers...
Other pleasures, I would trade them all for you.

Pleasures old and new, can't compare with you...
Wild mimosa, the scent of evening,
Shuttered rooms, with sunlight breaking through,
Crazy soirees, lazy Sundays...
Other pleasures, I would trade them all for you.

Sailing off in the night on a silver lake
Taking more from this life than I ought to take...
Other pleasures, I would trade them all for you.

Mermaid Song

Guys: (I am a mermaid with golden hair)
I am a rich man with stylish hair

Girls:
I've never seen one like you

Guys: (Not all us mermaids have......I have no tail at all)
Not all us rich men love credit cards
I only want your love

Girls: (Well I've never seen any....Maybe a touch too tall)
Well I've never seen any spoilt brats with such big hearts,
I'd say this tale was a touch too tall
Maybe a touch too tall

Guys: (Sailors would smash on my jagged rock, lured by my siren song)
You are so pretty and beautiful
I only have eyes for you

Girls: (It isn't the song of the......that's where it all goes wrong)
It isn't your charm and your good looks that captured me
That's where your theory goes sadly wrong
That's where it all goes wrong

Guys: I thought you'd know better
You know nothing about rich men

Girls: You know nothing about poor girls

Guys: I do, much more than you
If I gave you ev'ry thing that I had
Would you stay here for me?

Girls: I wouldn't be foolish enough to stay by your side
I'd drive my Ferrari out of here
(say) Hasta la vista, baby!

For the first half songs, we will be wearing our gowns and the suits yeah.
Girls pls check that you still have the belts, & if you lost your belt etc,
Pls inform us asap so we can prepare the ribbons to act as your belt (:

For guys:
You all will be acting as rich guys, so its fine to just wear your choir suits. However, please bring your own tie as part of the costume (not the choir costume one, another tie of your own selection).

For girls:
Dress as simply as possible.
Plain tops, dress or skirts.
NO shorts, slippers...
NO tight fitting or skirts that are too short.
Keep it as SIMPLE and POOR looking :D
NO heels pls (:

Just bring your costumes on Wednesday for checking yeah (:

NUMBER FIVE: Updates
Over the weekend, please visit this blog regularly
and also check your tpjc.net because we will be sending information over there as well (This blog is public so it's not kinda safe =P).
Another important thing to take note,
please check your hotmail/gmail/email etc because Victoria will be sending over
the invitation for the private tpjchoir yahoo group,
And it will be much more convenient to disseminate any information over there.
The recording will also be uploaded via the yahoo group yeah (:

NUMBER SIX: Fine system (:

Latecoming:
$n+1, n being the number of times being late without a valid reason.
For example, late first time: $2. Late second time: $3. Late third time: $4.
There is CAP at $4, which means that for eg this person is late 3 times, the person still pays $4.

Skipping practice without valid reason:
For pon-ing without reason, please note that there is NO fine system.
We follow the school's system because hehe pon CCA without reason is same as truancy according to the teachers =X.
So NOTE that there is no acceptance of parent's letter if you are sick! Only MC.
For those that cannot come on Wed/Fri due to studies, it's a valid reason so its accepted.
According to the teachers, first time skipping without valid reason, the teachers would have to be informed. The third time would result in being banned from CCA. x[
So please please please have a valid reason yeah (:

Scores:
For scores, it is $1 for every set of score that you forgot to bring. SLs would have to check for each song they do with the section!

IMPORTANT: THERE IS NO MORE 5 MINS GRACE. So if you come in at 3.01pm/2.31pm, its considered late (if you do not have valid excuse la). We look at the clock! So PLEASE come early okayy!!!

Thats all for now!
Please remember to check this blog, your hotmail and your tpjc.net mail regularly alrights!

Oh yes if there are any mistakes (as usual T.T) please feel free to edit this post :D
Thanks loads!
