Part I: Slap That Bass
Zoom, zoom
Zoom, zoom
Zoom, zoom
Zoom, zoom
Zoom-zoom, zoom
Zoom, zoom
Slap that bass, use it like a tonic
Slap that bass, keep your Philharmonic
Zoom zoom zoom, and the milk and honey'll flow
Today, you can see that the happiest men
All got rhythm
Slap that bass, keep your Philharmonic
Slap that bass (I got to, got to, got to, yeah)
Part II: Get Happy
[Instrumental Break]
Part III: What the World Needs Now Is Love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love

Joaquin Phoenix - For Once in My Life
Let's go, boys, it's showtime
Wakey-wakey
Hey, come on
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
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not likе it's hurt me before
For oncе, I have someone I know won't desert me
And I'm not alone anymore
For once, I can say this is mine, you can't take it
Long as I know I've got love, I can make it
For once in my life, I've got someone who needs me
For once, I can say this is mine, you can't take it
Long as I know I've got love, I can make it
For once in my life, I've got someone
For once in my life, I've got someone
For once in my life, I've got someone
Who needs me
Wakey-wakey
Hey, come on
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
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not likе it's hurt me before
For oncе, I have someone I know won't desert me
And I'm not alone anymore
For once, I can say this is mine, you can't take it
Long as I know I've got love, I can make it
For once in my life, I've got someone who needs me
For once, I can say this is mine, you can't take it
Long as I know I've got love, I can make it
For once in my life, I've got someone
For once in my life, I've got someone
For once in my life, I've got someone
Who needs me

Lady Gaga - If My Friends Could See Me Now
[ Featuring Joaquin Phoenix ]
If they could see me now
That little gang of mine
I'm lookin' at your smile and it's a healthy sign
I'd like those stumble bumps to see for a fact
The kind of top draw, first rate charm I attract
All I can say is, wow
Just look at where I am
Tonight I've landed, pow
Right in a pot of jam
What a setup, holy cow
They'd never believe it
If my friends could see me now
If they could see me now
That little dusty group
Traipsin' 'round this million dollar chicken coop
You're rubbin' elbows with the cream of the crop
Whoever said there ain't no room at the top?
To think this famous man
Which I must say is he
Should pick an unknown gal
Which there's no doubt is me
What a setup, wow, holy cow
They'll never believe it
If my friends could see me
If they all could see me
If my friends could see me now
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now

Lady Gaga - Folie à Deux
Take my hand, stay here, my friend
I'll find my way back to you
Here and now, I knew somehow
We'd tell a story that's true
In our minds, we'd be just fine
If it were only us two
They might say that we're crazy
But I'm just in love with you
I know where we're going, know where we're going
And it's a heaven
An island for when we'll both settle in, a paradise
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
In our minds, we'd be just fine
If it were only us two
They might say that we're crazy
But I'm just in love with, you're so in love with
Insane in love with you
I'll find my way back to you
Here and now, I knew somehow
We'd tell a story that's true
In our minds, we'd be just fine
If it were only us two
They might say that we're crazy
But I'm just in love with you
I know where we're going, know where we're going
And it's a heaven
An island for when we'll both settle in, a paradise
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
In our minds, we'd be just fine
If it were only us two
They might say that we're crazy
But I'm just in love with, you're so in love with
Insane in love with you

Joaquin Phoenix - Bewitched
[ Featuring Lady Gaga ]
[Joker]
She's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have her charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
Lost my heart, but what of it?
She is cold, I agree
She can laugh and I love it
Although the laugh's on me
[Joker, Joker & Lee]
I'll sing to her, bring spring to her
And long for the day when I cling to her
Bewitched, bothered, and bеwildered am I

Lady Gaga - That's Entertainment
Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show
You can make 'em laugh, you can make 'em cry
Anything, anything can go
The clown with his pants fallin' down
Oh, the dance, that's a dream of romance
Oh, the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment
The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with a guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives it a roll
That's entertainment
The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It can be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his mother and causes a lot of bother
The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doing him dirt
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
The doubt while the jury is out
Or the thrill when they're reading the will
Or the chase for the man with the face
That's entertainment
No death like you get in MacBeth
No ordeal like the end of Camille
This goodbye brings a tear to the eye
That's entertainment
Admit it's a hit and we'll go on from there
We played a charade that was lighter than air
A good old-fashioned affair
As I sing this finale I hope it's up your alley
The gag may be wearing a flag
That began with a mystical hand
Hip hooray, the American way
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment
Can happen in a show
You can make 'em laugh, you can make 'em cry
Anything, anything can go
The clown with his pants fallin' down
Oh, the dance, that's a dream of romance
Oh, the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment
The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with a guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives it a roll
That's entertainment
The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It can be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his mother and causes a lot of bother
The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doing him dirt
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
The doubt while the jury is out
Or the thrill when they're reading the will
Or the chase for the man with the face
That's entertainment
No death like you get in MacBeth
No ordeal like the end of Camille
This goodbye brings a tear to the eye
That's entertainment
Admit it's a hit and we'll go on from there
We played a charade that was lighter than air

Joaquin Phoenix - When You’re Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You)
When you're smilin'
When you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughin'
Oh, when you're laughin'
The sun comes shining through
But when you're cryin'
You bring out the rain
So stop your sighin'
Be happy again
Keep on smilin'
'Cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughin'
Oh, when you're laughin'
The sun comes shining through
But when you're cryin'
You bring out the rain
So stop your sighin'
Be happy again
Keep on smilin'
'Cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you

Joaquin Phoenix - To Love Somebody
[ Featuring Lady Gaga ]
From NCB Studios in Gotham City
Ladies and gentlemen
It's the Joker and Harley show
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That's never shone on me
I want my whole life to be
Lived with you, lived with you
There's a way
Everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what good does it bring
If I ain't got you, if I ain't got you?
Oh, you don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
Baby, baby, baby, baby
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

Lady Gaga - (They Long To Be) Close To You
[ Featuring Joaquin Phoenix ]
[Lee]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to make a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
[Lee & Joker]
That is why all the girls in town (Girls in town)
Follow you (Follow me) all around (All around)
Just like me, they long to bе
Close to you
[Lee]
Just like me, thеy long to be
Close to you

Joaquin Phoenix - The Joker
There's always a joker in the pack
There's always a lonely clown
The poor laughing fool falls on his back
And everyone laughs when he's down
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
And everyone looks at him just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
They don't care as long as there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's the rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
They don't care as long as there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
Yeah, there's always a joker, that's the rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
The joker is me
The joker is me
There's always a lonely clown
The poor laughing fool falls on his back
And everyone laughs when he's down
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
And everyone looks at him just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
They don't care as long as there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's the rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
They don't care as long as there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
Yeah, there's always a joker, that's the rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
The joker is me
The joker is me

Lady Gaga - Gonna Build a Mountain
[ Featuring Joaquin Phoenix ]
One, two, three, a two, two
Gonna build a mountain
From a little hill
Gonna build me a mountain
'Least I hope I will
Gonna build a mountain
Gonna build it high
I don't know how I'm gonna do it
Only know I'm gonna try
Gonna build me a daydream from a little hope
Gonna push that daydream up the mountain slope
Gonna build a daydream, gonna see it through
Gonna build a mountain and a daydream
Gonna make 'em both come true
Gonna build me a heaven from a little hell
Gonna build me a heaven and I know darn well
That if I build my mountain, oh, yeah, with a lot of care
I'll take our daydream up the mountain
And heaven will be waitin' there
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When I build that heaven as I will someday
And the Lord sends Gabriel to take me away
Ah, what a fine young son to take my place
I need a son in a heaven on earth
With the good Lord's grace

Lady Gaga - I've Got the World On A String
I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love?
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold that string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let it go
I've got the world on a string
And I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world
Yeah, there ain't no other kind of life
What a world, what a life
Hey now, I'm so in love
Sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love?
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold that string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let it go
I've got the world on a string
And I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world
Yeah, there ain't no other kind of life
What a world, what a life
Hey now, I'm so in love

Joaquin Phoenix - If You Go Away
Hi, it's me, Arthur
And they let me call you to see if you come back
'Cause I, I, I want you here
And I don't want you to go
If you go away on this sunny day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the bright blue sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
And the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll ride on the rain, we'll sail on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
And if you go, go, I won't cry
All the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, ne me quitte pas
If you go away
If you go away, as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your dark
I thought it might have kept me by your side
If you go away
And they let me call you to see if you come back
'Cause I, I, I want you here
And I don't want you to go
If you go away on this sunny day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the bright blue sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
And the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll ride on the rain, we'll sail on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
And if you go, go, I won't cry
All the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, ne me quitte pas
If you go away
If you go away, as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your dark
I thought it might have kept me by your side

Lady Gaga - That's Life
That's life (that's life)
That's what people say
You're ridin' high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change their tune
When I'm back on top in June, oh
That's life (that's life)
Funny as it seems
Some people get their kicks just steppin' on a dream
But I don't let it get me down
'Cause this whole world keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a queen
I've been up and down and over and out
But I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life (that's life)
I can't deny it
I've thought of quitting, but my heart just won't buy it
If I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die
I've been a puppet, a pauper
A pawn and a queen
I've been up and down
But I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life (that's life)
I can't deny it
I've thought of quitting, but my heart just won't buy it
If I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die
That's what people say

Joaquin Phoenix - True Love Will Find You in The End
True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don't be sad, I know you will
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
'Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light, the light?
Don't be sad, I know you will
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end
True love will find you in the end
True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don't be sad, I know you will
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
'Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light, the light?
