"Stay" by: Nick Swan Well I can't tell you to stay But I don't want you to go There's no easy way to say But I gotta let you know So I'll tell you how I feel Once and for all I want you to stay... Ooh Ooh (3x) Girl with me... Baby don't you make walk away I did not mean to piss you off I just have a certain way Of making fun of how you talk I will promise how to tease When you're not smart Chorus Bridge - Dm-F - Ooooh.... Baby don't you make that face It makes me crazy when you pout How bout a kiss for old time's sake? Girl you know what I'm about I'm begging please I'm on my knees Chorus End - Cha cha cha

"No Hablo Espanol" by: Nick Swan Well the times they are a changin' Winds are blowing from the south People coming up from Mexico To America they're bound Now I don't mind the diversity I love tacos in my mouth But no hablo espanol Well I tried to learn in high school But it never seemed to stick Foreign languages are difficult Like making fire with a stick I even went to Cancun, Mexico But I just wound up drunk and sick And no hablo espanol Ooooh... How I wish that I spoke Spanish I could charm the senoritas With my grasp of romance language Ooooh... But I only know the English So I'll have to play guittara Like Santana with Rob Thomas (Guitar solo) To all my boys back in the kitchen I sure do wish that we could talk We could rap over cervezas Making jokes about your boss But it probably won't happen Cause I'm from America And no hablo espanol No hablo espanol I don't speak no Spanglish, man

“When Night Falls on Washington Heights” by: Nick Swan When the sun goes down on the northwest side, all the pretty ladies come round The air gets cooler and the lights go down, all the bars are getting their crowd When the bridge gets covered in light, and you know the stars they’re shinin out bright It just feels right… When night falls on Washington Heights Well the sweet senoritas drink the Red Room wine – Manny keeps the music up loud The old folks at Reynolds drink til closin time, no one leaves until the last round You know Jins stays open all night, just to give the drunk folks one last bite It just feels right… When night falls on Washington Heights Bridge Oh… The days are long Oh… But not for long As I walk along I wonder where we’ll go together while the night is young Where the beer flows just like wine and you know we’ll all have a real good time It just feels right… When night falls on Washington Heights Outro Na na na…

“Noche Mi Amor” By: Nick Swan Now the night’s drawing to a close Noche mi amor… Goodnight, my love Just one kiss, ‘fore I take you home Noche mi amor… Goodnight, my love Oh… How the time it went so fast Oh… How I wish that it would last Now the stars are shining up above Noche mi amor… Goodnight, my love Watch the lights go out on the street Noche mi amor… Goodnight, my love Think of me ‘fore you go to sleep Noche mi amor… Goodnight, my love Oh… How I long to touch you so Oh… Say you’ll come back again tomor-row… Now I’ll wait ‘til we meet again Noche mi amor… Goodnight, my love Oh… Watch the sun begin to set Oh… As I kiss your sleepy head Now we lay ourselves down to sleep Noche mi amor… Goodnight, my love
