And I said (A)oh my, what a (B)mar vel ous tune.

The (A)whole place was (B)dressed to the nines and we were (E)danc ing, danc ing like we’re made of (A)star light, star light, like w’re made of (E)star light, star light.

He said, “Look at you, wor ry ing too much a bout (B)things you can’t change.

Don’t you see the (A)star light, star light?

Don’t you dream im (E)pos si ble things?
