[Xena]:
Listen to me now. War is a thing that I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears in thousands of mother's eyes
When their young go off to fight and lose their lives
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Joxer]:
War!
[Xena]:
Good god, y'all
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Joxer]:
What is it good for?
[Xena]:
Absolutely...
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Joxer]:
...nothing!
[Xena]:
Say it again, yeah. War!
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Joxer]:
What is it good for?
[Xena]:
Absolutely...
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Joxer]:
...nothing!
[Xena]:
War!
[Gabrielle]:
It ain't nothing but a heart breaker
[Xena]:
War!
[Joxer]:
Friend only to the undertaker!
[Amoria]:
War is the enemy of all of mankind
The thought of war just blows my mind
War is handed down from generation to generation
Induction and destruction, who wants to die?
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Joxer]:
War! What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
[Xena]:
Say it again, yeah
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Joxer]:
War! What is it good for? Nothing!
[Xena]:
Say it again
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Joxer]:
War! What is it good for? Nothing!
[Xena]:
Say it again
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Joxer]:
War! What is it good for?
[Draco, spoken]:
Absolutely nothing
Hi, Vargus.
[Vargus]:
Hi, Spiro. What's the hurry? Why the scurry?
Where's the fire? Why the lyre?
[Spiro]:
Did you hear, there's a concert in town!
[Sarah]:
Hi, Cory!
[Cory]:
Hi, Sarah! News I'm bringing, time for singing.
Can you hum? Get your drum.
[Sarah]:
Oh, my gosh, there's a concert in town!
[Villagers]:
Is there really a jam?
[Spiro]:
Yeah!
[Villagers]:
Can we participate?
[Spiro]:
Sure!
[Villagers]:
Should we go there right now?
[Spiro]:
Why not?
[Villagers]:
Or is it too late?
[Spiro]:
No!
[Villagers]:
Yeah, there's really a jam
For you and the rest
So tune your sitars
And give it your best
[Alabartus]:
Hello, farmer Paxon, I am Alabartus.
Won't you let me sing with you?
[Farmer Paxon]:
Is there really a jam?
[Alabartus]:
Yes, there is.
[Farmer Paxon]:
I've got talent to spare.
[Alabartus]:
That's why I asked.
[Farmer Paxon]:
Just take over my stand.
[Alabartus]:
But, I thought --
[Farmer Paxon]:
And get out of my hair!
[Villager 1]:
Hit your note in your key.
[Villager 2]:
That's too high.
[Villager 3]:
Not for me!
[Alabartus]:
Hello, Miss Leandra, I am Alabartus.
Won't you let me sing with you?
[Villager 4]:
Got no talent. I got money.
I just need to bribe the judges.
[Amazons]:
Oh, they think they're so cool.
[Warlords]:
We've got talent.
[Amazons]:
Playing music's a gas.
[Warlords]:
We've got music.
[Amazons]:
When they get up on stage...
[Warlords]:
We've got singing.
[Amazons]:
...they'll fall down on their --
[Alabartus]:
Hello, kind barbarians, I am Alabartus.
Please just let me sing with you.
[Gabrielle]:
But you've got it all wrong.
[Villagers]:
Getting ready!
[Gabrielle]:
There's no talent to find.
[Villagers]:
Getting ready!
[Gabrielle]:
If the concert's too big...
[Villagers]:
Getting ready!
[Gabrielle]:
...I'll go out of my mind!
[Villagers]:
When you gotta sing, really gotta sing!
[Villager 5]:
When the music plays, then my hips will sway.
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
[Villagers]:
Is there rally a jam? (Whoa, man!)
Can I participate? (Whoa, man!)
Should I go there right now? (Whoa, man!)
Or is it too late?
Getting ready! (Let's rock!)
Getting ready! (Let's rock!)
Ready to rock! Getting ready!

Getting ready!
Ready! Ready! Ready!
Ready! Ready! Ready to —
Ready! Ready! Ready! Ready!
Everybody here is out of sight
They won't bark and they won't bite
They keep it loose, they keep it light
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
[Jace & Chorus]:
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
[Jace]:
We like our fun but never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
[Jace & Chorus]:
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
[Jace, spoken]:
Baila! Mi amigo! Baila! You think that was something?
This is how we dance before breakfast where I come from!
Repeat after me: Ole, ole!
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Chorus]:
Ole, ole!
[Jace]:
Ole, ole!
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Chorus]:
Ole, ole!
[Jace]:
Ole, ole!
[Xena, Gabrielle, & Chorus]:
Ole, ole!
[Jace & Chorus, sung]:
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing, yeah!
When there is always something there to remind me!
Always something there to remind me!
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me!
When the shadows fall, I pass a small cafe
Where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling
How it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Oh, how can I forget you...
When there is always something there to remind me!
Always something there to remind me!
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me!
If you should find you miss
The sweet and tender love we used to share
Just come back to the places where we used to go
And I'll be there
Oh, how can I forget you...
When there is always something there to remind me!
When there is always something there to remind me!
When there is always something there to remind me!
When there is always something there to remind me!
When there is always something there to remind me!
When there is always something there to remind me!
Always something there to remind me!
Always! Something! Always! Something!
[Amoria]:
But in these times of change
You know it's no longer true
So, we're coming out of the kitchen
'Cause there's something we forgot to say to you, yeah
[Xena, Amoria, & Amazons]:
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bells
[Xena]:
Now, this a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state
[Amoria]:
Oh, I'm talking about a state of mind
Mothers and daughters, and their daughters too
Woman to woman, we're singing with you
[Xena, Amoria, & Amazons]:
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bells
[Xena]:
Oh, we ain't making stories
And we ain't laying plans
[Amoria]:
'Cause a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man
[Xena, Amoria, & Amazons]:
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bells
[Amoria]:
Oh, ringing on my bells, now, yeah
[Xena, Amoria, & Amazons]:
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doing it for themselves
Standing on their own two feet
Ringing on their own bells
[Xena]:
Sisters are doing it for themselves...
Well, I'm feelin' pretty good
And I guess that I could
Get crazy now, baby
'Cause we all got in tune
When the dressing room
Got hazy, yeah
I know how you want it, girl
Hot, quick, and tight
The girl gets hotter
When you're doin' it right
So, let me up on the stand
Let me kick out the jams
Yeah! Kick out the jams
I gotta kick 'em out!
I'm starting to sweat
You know my shirt's all wet
What a feeling, yeah!
From the sound that abounds
And resounds and rebounds off the ceiling
You got to have it, baby
You can't do without
When you got that feelin'
You got to sock 'em out
So, put the mike in my hands
Let me kick out the jams
Yeah! Kick out the jams
I gotta kick 'em out
[Draco]:
I'm the baddest rapper there is
And you're the saddest there is
And that's the way it is
[Xena]:
You're just a copycat
That's where your head is at
You chase the rhythm from a place you was never at
[Draco]:
Ain't nobody told you
That payback's a mother?
[Xena]:
Heads up, my brother
'Cause here comes another...fight!
[Draco]:
It's time to face the funk blastin' at ya
You better give it up 'cause you ain't gonna match my rhyme
[Xena]:
Just like old times, when you be trippin'
In your own stuff, didn't know what
[Draco]:
I'm the number one warlord, king of the horde
And I'm out to collect my reward
[Xena]:
Let's get it on 'cause I'm getting bored!
[Jace]:
Mi amigo! Listen to me!
You should see
What a lovely, lovely world this would be
If everyone learned to live together
[Joxer]:
Seems to me
Such an easy, easy thing it should be
[Joxer & Jace]:
Why can't you and me
Learn to love one another?
[Joxer]:
Oh, yeah!
[Xena & Chorus]:
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Can't understand, it's so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free! (Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!)
[Gabrielle]:
If there's a man
Who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand
And to pull him through
[Xena]:
Uh-huh, it seems to me
We gotta solve it individually, yeah
I'll do unto you what you do to me
[Jace, spoken]:
You're a very good singer, but you can't be in my show.
[Xena & Chorus, sung]:
Shout it from the mountains all out to the sea
[Jace]:
Out to the sea!
[Xena & Chorus]:
No two ways about it, people have to be free
[Jace]:
Got to be free!
[Xena & Chorus]:
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
Natural situation for a man to be free (Oh-ho, yeah!)
Oh, what a feeling's just come over me
[Xena]:
Come over me
[Xena & Chorus]:
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see
[Jace]:
No two ways about it
[Xena & Chorus]:
Everybody, sing it now, world could see —
Everybody, sing it now, come on
Peace in the valley, now, we ought to be free
