“Everything” (Lilo & Stitch) You're a falling star, you're the get away car. You're the line in the sand when I go too far. You're the swimming pool, on an August day. And you're the perfect thing to say. And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times It's you, it's you, you make me sing. You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

“Friend like me” (Aladdin) Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves, Scheherazade had a thousand tales. But master you're in luck, 'cause up your sleeves You've got a brand of magic never fails Life is your restaurant and I'm your maitre'd Come on whisper what it is you want; You ain't never had friend like me!

“Best of friends” (Fox & the Hound) When you're the best of friends Having so much fun together You're not even aware You're such a funny pair You're the best of friends If only the world wouldn't get in the way If only people would just let you play They say you're both being fools You're breaking all the rules They can't understand Your magic wonderland

“Consider Yourself” (Oliver) Consider yourself at home, Consider yourself one of the family We've taken to you so strong, It's clear we're going to get along Consider yourself well in, Consider yourself part of the furniture There isn't a lot to spare Who cares? What ever we've got, we share! If it should chance to be We should see, Some harder days, Empty larder days Why grouse? Always-a-chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill Then the drinks are on the house! Consider yourself our mate We don't want to have no fuss, For after some consideration, we can state, Consider yourself One of us!

“Under the sea” (The little Mermaid) The seaweed is always greener In somebody else's lake You dream about going up there But that is a big mistake Just look at the world around you Right here on the ocean floor Such wonderful things surround you What more is you lookin' for?

“The circle of Life” (The Lion King) From the day we arrive on the planet And blinking, step into the sun There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done Some say eat or be eaten Some say live and let live But all are agreed as they join the stampede You should never take more than you give

“Son of man” (Tarzan) Oh. the power to be strong, And the wisdom to be wise All these things will come to you in time On this journey that you're making, There'll be answers that you'll seek And it's you who'll climb the mountain It's you who'll reach the peak Son of Man, look to the sky, Lift your spirit, set it free Some day you'll walk tall with pride Son of Man, a man in time you'll be Though there's no one there to guide you, No one to take your hand But with faith and understanding You will journey from boy to man

“Let it go” (Frozen) I don't care What they're going to say Let the storm rage on, The cold never bothered me anyway! It's funny how some distance Makes everything seem small And the fears that once controlled me Can't get to me at all! It's time to see what I can do To test the limits and break through No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!

“Wouldn’t it be loverly?” (My Fair Lady) All I want is a room somewhere, Far away from the cold night air With one enormous chair Oh, wouldn't it be loverly? Lots of chocolate for me to eat, Lots of coal makin' lots of heat. Warm face, warm hands, warm feet Oh, so lovely sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still I would never budge till spring crept over me window sill Someone's head restin' on my knee, Warm and tender as he can be Who takes good care of me, Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?

“A little help from my friends” What would you think if sang out of tune, Would you stand up and walk out on me ? Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song And I'll try not to sing out of key. Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends What do I do when my love is away (Does it worry you to be alone ?) How do I feel by the end of the day, (Are you sad because you're on your own ?) No, I get by with a little help from my friends
