People (Live in Central Park)

[spoken]

At this time I should like very much to thank my wonderful conductor

And what he does is this - it sort of reminds me of an old Mae West picture

I don't know how I make that association but -

You see, he makes this orchestra sound as if there were 70 pieces and it reminds me of the scene where Mae was teaching a classroom and she said, "Well, uh, 1+1 is 2, and 2+2 is 4, and 4+4 make 10 if you know how to work it right."

And I would also like to say that I'm thrilled and delighted

I can't believe there's 128,000 people out there

Can you imagine?

Fantastic!

Thank you

But, I would like to thank you

You lovely bunch of...

People

People who need people

Are the luckiest people in the world

We're children, needing other children

And yet letting our grown up pride

Hide all the need inside

Acting more like children than children

Lovers

Are very special people

They're the luckiest people in the world

With one person

One very special person

A feeling deep in your soul

Says you were half now you're whole

No more hunger and thirst

First, be a person who needs people

People who need people

Are the luckiest people in the world

With one person

One very special person

No more hunger and thirst

First, be a person who needs people

People who need people

Are the luckiest people in the world
