#87 Do You Know the Way to San Jose (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I’ve been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I’m going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose🪄
LA is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas🪄
You can really breathe in San Jose
They’ve got a lot of space
There’ll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I’m going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose🪄
Fame and fortune is a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you’re never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You park your car and ride away🪄
I’ve got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?🪄
Oh, LA is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas🪄
I’ve got lots of friends in San Jose
Oh, do you know the way to San Jose?
Can’t wait to get back to San Jose

#42 Theme From ‘Valley of the Dolls (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride🪄
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name🪄
When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What’s in back of the sky, why do we cry🪄
Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I’m bound🪄
When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am🪄
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why
