Be With You
Be With You
(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)
Verse 1
You remember the day we met
The rain was pouring we were soaking wet
Running for shelter from the storm
I tripped and fell right into your arms
Bridge 1
Now every time I see your face
I can hardly sleep at night
When you're not by my side
I know, yes I know
Chorus
I just want to be with you
I just want to be with you
Feel your touch and see you smile
I just wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Verse 2
I remember the day we met
It didn't really happen quite like that
I found you face down in the mud
and had to stop and help you up
Bridge 2
When I close my eyes I can see your face
Shining like a star
Without you I'm incomplete
I know, yes I know
Chorus
I just want to be with you
I just want to be with you
Feel your touch and see you smile
I just wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Let’s Take a Walk
Let's Take A Walk Together
(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)
Johnny and Jane grew up together
Two houses by the old oak tree
Riding the bus to school each day
Year after year
Johnny and Jane went to prom together
Danced away the night
By the light of the moon, shared a kiss
Under the old oak tree
Chorus:
Let's take a walk - together
Down the road of life - forever
Let's take a walk - together
Just you and I
Just you and I
Johnny and Jane went away together
Seeking out their dreams
When they came home they tied the knot
The next step on their path
Johnny and Jane bought a house together
Next to the old oak tree
They had two kids and settled down
Happy as can be
Chorus:
Let's take a walk - together
Down the road of life - forever
Let's take a walk - together
Just you and I
Just you and I
Bridge: (not in Radio Edit version)
Let us all join hands together
Celebrate this Life
Dance and Sing the Night Away
Until the morning light
Until the morning light
Until the morning light
Chorus:
Let's take a walk - together
Down the road of life - forever
Let's take a walk - together
Just you and I
Just you and I

Louisiana Rain
(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)

I miss the Louisiana Rain
Beating down on the old metal roof
Drinking wine, playing cards
Lazy Sundays out on the porch

Children Playing without care
This is where my soul finds peace

Life can get weary, when you're out on the road
Big City Lights, shining all bright
Life's moving fast and there's no time to rest

Looking forward to coming back home
Cypress Trees and that old front porch

Jeremiah
Jeremiah
(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)
Verse 1
Jeremiah was a little ant
How he wished
to be a big ole elephant
Bridge 1
His wish came true, but it turned out wrong
His life turned upside down
Wandered far away from home
Fell down the rabbit hole
Verse 2
A traveling circus took him in, It seemed so wonderful
He thought he'd made new friends
Bridge 2
Then they whipped him with a hook
Taught him dirty tricks
Shackled him and locked him up
Tried to break his will
Chorus
Learn to love the skin you're in, Love to be yourself
Learn to love the skin you're in, Find what makes you strong
Verse 3
Jeremiah planned his escape, had to get out
of the mess he had made
Bridge 3
They tried to keep him, he made it out
Back down the rabbit hole
Back an ant, he figured out
It's what's inside that counts
Chorus
Learn to love the skin you're in, Love to be yourself
Learn to love the skin you're in, Find what makes you strong
Solo
Chorus
Learn to love the skin you're in, Love to be yourself
Learn to love the skin you're in, Find what makes you strong
Simple Things
Simple Things
(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)
Verse 1
Daddy told me when I was just a little child
To always see the wonder in ordinary things
The miracles in life you seek
They're right before your eyes
A Puppy's Kiss
A Baby's Laugh
A Sweet Sunrise
Chorus
It's the simple things in life, that make us happy
It's the simple things in life, that make us smile
It's the simple things in life, that make us happy
It's the simple things in life, that make us smile
Verse 2
Momma taught me growing up
To treasure all my friends
Fancy cars and fancy trips
Can't buy you happiness
She said everything I own is from the dollar store
But your daddy loves me
And we have you that is all we need
Chorus
It's the simple things in life, that make us happy
It's the simple things in life, that make us smile
It's the simple things in life, that make us happy
It's the simple things in life that make us smile
Bridge
When did I stop enjoying simple things
When did I lose my wonder of the world
And if I could just be that innocent again
I'd treasure what my Mom and Daddy said
Solo
Chorus
It's the simple things in life, that make us happy
It's the simple things in life, that make us smile
It's the simple things in life, that make us happy
It's the simple things in life, that make us smile
New Orleans Shuffle
New Orleans Shuffle
(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)
My back is breaking and My Arms are Weak
I am so damn tired, can't even fall asleep
You wanna know why?
I did the New Orleans Shuffle all night long
I did the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn
It all started out with Ole Willie’s Band
Swinging on Bourbon, playing Dixie Land
The first drink, the first dance and Then It Went On
I did the New Orleans Shuffle all night long
I did the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn
You wanna know how?
Take two steps to the right - right foot back and forth
Take two steps to the left - now left foot back and forth
Throw your hands up in the air, And let it all out
Sashay to the right - Move your hips
Sashay to the left
Everybody Shuffle Dance
Chorus
Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long
Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long
Let's do the New Orleans Till We Can't Go on
Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long
Let’s do the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn
Solos
Chorus
Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long
Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long
Let's do the New Orleans Till We Can't Go on
Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long
Let’s do the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn
My back is breaking and My Arms are Weak
I am so damn tired, can't even fall asleep
You wanna know why?
I did the New Orleans Shuffle all night long
I did the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn

Cause Soon Ole Saint Nick
