If you do, it\u2019s gonna be too bad.\u201d So those fellas, poor souls, they couldn\u2019t keep it, they told some of the secrets, that got back to the lodge, so the members decided to take `em out. So one evening late they took `em out to a place where there was a septic tank. They said, now you won\u2019t talk after tonight and we know it. Get in! Oooooo, ooooo! They hated to get in there, but they started walking. Mess kinda got up to their knees, kinda got up here kinda got up here.

Next day he went, Gonzales\u2013 Santiago said to him, \u201cPoncho, what you going to get today?\u201d He said \u201cOh, I get butter from the butterfly.\u201d So, then when he come back he was loaded down with butter, two buckets of butter.

Song 9: \u201cThe Greatest Love of All\u201d by George Benson<\/em><\/p>\n

I believe the children are our future
\nTeach them well and let them lead the way
\nShow them all the beauty they possess inside
\nGive them a sense of pride to make it easier
\nLet the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
\nEverybody searching for a hero
\nPeople need someone to look up to
\nI never found anyone who fulfill my needs
\nA lonely place to be
\nAnd so I learned to depend on me
\nI decided long ago
\nNever to walk in anyone’s shadows
\nIf I fail, if I succeed
\nAt least I lived as I believed
\nNo matter what they take from me
\nThey can’t take away my dignity
\nBecause the greatest love of all
\nIs happening to me
\nI found that greatest love of all
\nInside of me
\nThe greatest love of all
\nIs easy to achieve
\nLearning to love yourself
\nIs the greatest love of all
\nI believe the children are our future
\nTeach them well and let them lead the way
\nShow them all the beauty they possess inside
\nGive them a sense of pride to make it easier
\nLet the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
\nI decided long ago
\nNever to walk in anyone’s shadows
\nIf I fail, if I succeed
\nAt least I’ll lived as I believed
\nNo matter what they take from me
\nThey can’t take away my dignity
\nBecause the greatest love of all
\nWas happening to me
\nI found that greatest love of all
\nInside of me
\nThe greatest love of all
\nIs easy to achieve
\nLearning to love yourself
\nIs the greatest love of all
\nAnd if, by chance, that special place
\nThat you’ve been dreaming of
\nLeads you to a lonely place
\nFind your strength in love<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hicks<\/strong>: (Sings) Can it be that it was all so simple then?
\nOr has time re-written every line?
\nAnd if we had the chance to do it again
\nTell me, would we?
\nCould we?
\nMemories
\nLight the corners of my mind

\nFor the way we were
\nOh, could it be that it was all so simple then?
\nOr has time re-written every line?
\nAnd if we had the chance to do it all again
\nTell me, would we?
\nCould we?
\nMemories
\nWere beautiful and yet
\nWhat’s too painful to remember
\nWe simply to choose to forget
\nOh it’s the laughter
