Time for another list. This time it's songs that includes "lyrics" that are spoken rather than sung. Here are a few to get you thinking:

"Saturday Love," Cherrelle and Alexander O’Neal
"The End of the Road," Boyz II Men
"I've Never Been to Me," Charlene
"Leader of the Pack," Shangri-La's
"19," Paul Hardcastle
"Rock Me Amadeus," Falco
"One Night in Bangkok," Murray Head
"Giving Him Something He Can Feel," En Vogue

Rap does not count. It's lyrical by its nature.

What's spoken in Dark Side of the Moon?

First thing that came to mind to me is Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady.

Hank,

Every Body Plays The Fool, was also the Main Ingredient featuring Cuba Gooding Sr.

The Streak Ray Stevens (Okay that's not a real song)

Float On By The Floaters

Who could forget those classic lyrics

Cancer and my name is Larry, huh
And I like a woman that loves everything and everybody
Because I love everybody and everything
And you know what, ladies, if you feel that this is you
Then this is what I want you to do
