Opening song in Savoy Theater

[danim]

Hello,

Just got off the Mariner of the Seas and each night before the show in the Savoy Theater they started it with a song to get the crowd going. It was something like Everybody Love... (something like that).

 

If anyone knows of what it might be please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Danielle

MIKA LYRICS

 

"Love Today"

 

Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di

 

Everybody's gonna love today,

Gonna love today, gonna love today.

Everybody's gonna love today, gonna love today.

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

 

I've been crying for so long,

Fighting tears just to carry on,

But now, but now, it's gone away.

 

Hey girl why can't you carry on,

Is it 'cause you're just like your mother,

A little tight, like to tease for fun,

Well you ain't gonna tease no other,

Gonna make you a lover.

 

Everybody's gonna love today,

love today, love today.

Everybody's gonna love today,

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

Girl in the blue with the big bust on,

Big bust on, big bust on.

Wait till your mother and your papa's gone,

Papa's gone

Momma, momma papa, shock shock me,

Shock shock me, shock shock.

 

Everybody's gonna love today,

Gonna love today, gonna love today

I said,

Everybody's gonna love today, gonna love today,

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

 

Carolina sits on ninety five

Give her a dollar and she'll make you smile.

 

Hook her, book her, nook her, walk away!

 

Girl dresses like a kid for fun,

Licks her lips like they're something other,

Tries to tell you life has just begun,

But you know she's getting something other

Than the love from her mother

 

Everybody's gonna love today,

Love today, love today

Everybody's gonna love today,

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

 

Girl in the blue with the big bust on,

Big bust on, big bust on.

Wait till your mother and your papa's gone,

Papa's gone

Momma, momma papa, shock shock me,

Shock shock me, shock shock.

 

I said,

Everybody's gonna love today,

Gonna love today, gonna love today

I said,

Everybody's gonna love today,

Gonna love today,

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

 

Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di.....

 

Everybody's gonna love today,

Gonna love today, gonna love today

Everybody's gonna love today,

Gonna love today,

Anyway you want to, anyway you've got to,

Love love me, love love me, love love.

 

Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di Doom da da di da di.....
