Friends / Oh My My Lyrics


And I am all alone.
There is no one here beside me.
And my problems have all gone.
There is no one to deride me.Ah, But you got to have friends!
The feeling's oh so strong.
You got to have friends,
Mmm, To make that day last long.I had some firends but they're gone, yeah.
Somethin' came and took them away.
And from the dusk 'til the dawn
Here is where I'll stay.
I got to stay, Woo![Harlettes:] She called up the doctor
to see what's the matter.
He said, "Come on over."[Bette:] I said, "Do I have to?"
My knees started aching,
my wrists started shakin'
when the doctor said to me,Whoa, he said
Oh my my, oh my my,
can you boogie? Can you slide?

Oh my my, oh my my,
you can boogie if you try.
Oh my my, oh my my,
you know it's guaranteed
to keep you alive.Whoa, no no no no no!
Now don't make me go![Harlettes:] The head nurse, she blew in
just like a tornado.
When they started dancin'
[Bette:] I jumped off the table.
I felt myself reeling,
and as I was healing,
this is what he said to me,Ow! Oh my my, oh my my,
can you boogie? Can you slide?
Oh my my, oh my my,
you can boogie if you try.
Oh my my, oh my my,
you know it's guaranteed
to keep you alive.[Harlettes:] Can you boogie?
[Bette:] Whoa, my my my my
mu mu my mu mu my mu mu my
my my my
Can I boogie? Can I boogie? Can I boogie?
Can I boogie woogie?[Harlettes:] Can you boogie?
[Bette:] Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can.
[Harlettes:] Can you boogie?
[Bette:] Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can.
[Harlettes:] Can you boogie?
[Bette:] Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can."Can I boogie?
Can I boogie?
What kind of asshole
question is that? . . ."Hello, Cleveland!
Did ya' miss me? Good!
How many of you thought we were
gonna do the entire show in the bed?
How many of you were hoping
we would do the entire show in the bed?
I don't do shows in bed no more, I'm an artiste.
Oh, now this hospital motif was suggested to me,
By my recent stay in a very plush,
Beverly Hills Medical Center.
Now many of you, may have heard,
that I was striken with apendicitis.
But I am here to tell you the truth, Cleveland.
And that is, that in a spasm of sisterly generosity,I donated my tits to Cher!
Oooh! And she was so glad to get 'em,
I can't even begin to tell you!
Oh Honey, we spared no expense for you this time!
We did it all!
We washed,
We showered,
We Shaved,
We FDS'd ourselves into a stuper!
And why, why did we do all this?
I'll tell you why we did all this!
On account of we heard, On account of we heard
there was a depression goin' on out here,
And we all wanted to cheer you up,
But y'all, y'all don't look to depressed,
except for you honey, You look like shi-i-it!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bette Midler (December 1, 1945) is an American singer, actress, and comedian, also known to her fans and especially in gay culture, as The Divine Miss M. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Jewish parents from New Jersey, and raised there. Midler relocated to New York City to pursue acting on stage, and in 1970 she began singing at the Continental Baths, a gay bathhouse in the city, where she became close to her piano accompanist, Barry Manilow, who produced her first major album, The Divine Miss M in 1973. She is named after the actress Bette Davis although Davis pronounced her name in two syllables, and Midler uses one.

During her career, she has won four Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award, and has been nominated for two Academy Awards. She is currently performing a new concert show, The Showgirl Must Go On, live five nights a week as one of the current headliners at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (together with Cher and Elton John).
