It's only a Shanty, in old Shanty Town.
The roof is so slanty, it touches the ground.
My tumbled down shack, by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back.
I'd give up a palace if I were a king,
It's more than a palace, it's my everything.
And there's a queen waiting there, with a silvery crown,
In a Shanty in old Shanty Town.
Oh, it's only a Shanty, in old Shanty Town.
The roof is so slanty, it touches the ground.
My tumbled down shack, by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back.
I'd give up a palace if I were a king,
Say It's more, it's more than a palace, Baby it's my
everything.
There's a queen waiting there, with a silvery crown,
In a Shanty in old Shanty Town.
I'd give up a palace
If I were a king,
Why it's more, it's more than a palace,
Baby, it's my everything.
There's a queen waiting there, with a silvery crown,
In a Shanty in old Shanty Town. (Shanty Town)
In a Shanty in old Shanty Town.

Suddenly - Nia Peeples & Billy Hufsey - Song of the Month
"Suddenly"
is a beautiful ballad written in 1984 by Billy Ocean and Keith Diamond.
Originally it was released by Billy Ocean as the title track of his 1985 Album
and released as the 3rd single from that album.
In Fame it is performed by Nia Peeples and Billy Hufsey in the Season 5 episode "His Majesty Donlon", where Chris Donlon has replaced his lookalike, the Prince of Vatonia and the Princess just happens to be the spitting image of Nicole, who Chris secretly has a crush on.
The song was never released on a Fame Single or Album and so far has never been performed during any of the Fame Concerts.

"I used to think that love was just a fairy tale.
Until that first hello, until that first smile.
But if I had to do it all again,
I wouldn't change a thing.
'Cause this love is everlasting.
Suddenly, life has new meaning to me.
There's beauty up above
And things we never take notice of.
You wake up and suddenly, you're in love.
Girl, you're everything a man could want and more.
One thousand words are not enough,
to say what I feel inside.
Holding hands as we walk along the shore.
Never felt like this before,
now you're all I'm living for.
Suddenly, life has new meaning to me.
There's beauty up above And things we never take notice of.
You wake up and suddenly, you're in love."
You wake up and suddenly, you're in love."
The
song was originally recorded by Billy Ocean in 1984 as the title track of his
5th album. The song was also released as a the 3rd single from the album in
March/May 1985 and reached number 4 on both the U.K. and U.S. Singles charts.

Who plays Across The
Silver Screen.
Where Are The Dudes
Who Saved The Damsels In Distress?
The Team Men, The
Pirates, The Captains, The Cowboys
Who Braved the Fray,
They save The Day.
Back When A Guy Had Pizzazz
like Basil Rathbone,
Or The Swashbuckling
charm of Errol Flynn.
All Gone Are the
Guys, We Used To Play I Spy With,
Now Who’s A Guy
Supposed To Identify with?
Where Have All The Movie
Heroes Gone?
You Mean Like
Cagney,
“You Dirty Rat, You
Dirty Rat”.
Bogart,
“All You Gotta Do Is
Puck Up Your Lips And Blow Sweetheart”.

Around Her, You Understand, It’s Me So say So”.
John Wayne,
“When I Say Kill A
Brick I Mean Kill A Brick!”
And Rod Chester,
“Mr Billy, I’m
calling You Mr Billy.
I’d Walk a Million
Miles For One Of You Smiles, Mr Billy!”
Now We Never Analyzed
Or Criticized Them,
Every Saturday Afternoon,
We Just Idolized Them.
Where Have All The Movie Heroes Gone?
I Mean Look At Who
You Got Nowadays?
Superman’s A Cartoon
and Kermit’s A Frog,
ET’s An Alien and Benji’s
A Dog,
Oh Where? Where Did They
Go?
Where’s W C Fields,
Now That We Need Him So?
Where Have All The Movie
Heroes Gone?
Oh, Bring them Dudes
Back One More Time. Yeah!
