Songs were meant to sing while we're young;
Ev' - ry day is spring while we're young.
None can re - fuse; time flies so fast.
Too dear to lose, and too sweet to last.
Though it may be just for to - day,
Share our love we must, while we may;
How blue the sky, all sweet sur - prise,
Shines be - fore our eyes while we're young.
How blue the sky, all sweet sur - prise,
I left a note on his dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these good-bye words
How can I sing?
Good-bye
Oh, sleepy head
I'm packing you in
Like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember, darling
Don't smoke in bed
(Instrumental)
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember, darling
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
Well you are
Such an easy evil
You're such a sensuous sin
Sometimes I don't know where I'm goin'
'Til I been taken in
You're such an easy evil
Such a promise of fun
Sometimes I don't know what I'm doin'
'Til I'm done, you're a sneaky one
Here he comes now touchin' me
Callin' my name
Again
Here I go now
Like a moth to a flame
I'm a puppet for you baby
Such an easy evil
You're such a sensuous sin
Sometimes I don't know where I'm goin'
'Til I been taken in, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, oh
Here he comes now touchin' me
Callin' my name
Again
Here I go now
Like a moth to a flame
I'm a puppet for you baby
Such an easy evil
You're such a sensuous sin
Sometimes I don't know where I'm goin'
'Til I been taken in
Well, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
'Til I been taken in
I been taken in
Do I love you do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?
Would I miss you, would I, if you ever should go away?
If the sun should desert the day, what would life be?
Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forevermore?
Do I love you, do I?
Oh my dear it's so easy to see,
Don't you know I do, don't I show you I do,
Just as you love me.
Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forevermore?
Do I love you, do I?
Oh my dear it's so easy to see,
Don't you know I do, don't I show you I do,
The days of wine and roses,
Laugh and run away,
Like a child at play,
Through a meadowland,
Toward a closing door,
A door marked never more,
That wasnt there before.
The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!
The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
You're my thrill, you do something to me
You send chills right through me when I look at you
'Cause you're my thrill, you're my thrill
How my pulse increases, I just go to pieces
When I look at you 'cause you're my thrill
Mmm, nothing seems to matter
Mmm, here's my heart on a silver platter
Where's my will? Why this strange desire?
That keeps mounting higher when I look at you
I can't keep still, you're my thrill
Where's my will? Why this strange desire?
That keeps mounting higher when I look at you
You're mine, you
You belong to me, you
I will never free you
You're here with me to stay
You're mine you
You are mine completely
Love me strong or sweetly
I need you night and day
Arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand
We will be found together
Heart-to-heart, lips-to-lips
We're chained and bound together
I own you
I don't need to buy love
You're a slave to my love
In every way, you're mine
Arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand
We will be found together
Heart-to-heart, lips-to-lips
We're chained and bound together
I own you
I don't need to buy love
You're a slave to my love
Every kiss, every hug, seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms, I'm addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love was something that I
Could take or leave alone
But now, I couldn't do without my supply
I need you for my own
I just can't break away, I must have you every day
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches and I can't get free
You're getting to be a habit with me
You're getting to be a habit with me
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love was something that I
Could take or leave alone
But now, I couldn't do without my supply
I need you for my own
I just can't break away, I must have you every day
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches and I can't get free
You're getting to be a habit with me
You're getting to be a habit with me
You said someday you'd turn the tide,
And I'd be laughin' on the other side,
And you was right, baby,
Baby, you was so right!
You said someday the worm would turn,
I had some lessons that I had to learn,
And you was right, baby,
Baby, you was so right!
I gave you a story, you gave me the gate!
I wish you'd come back but you say it's too late.
I look kind of silly,
But I guess I'll hold it until you come back.
You said someday you'd pass me by,
That I'd be tellin' you just one too many lies,
And you was right, baby,
Baby, you was so right!
You said someday you'd pass me by,
That I'd be tellin' you just one too many lies,
And you was right, baby,
Baby, you was so right!
And you was right, baby,
You stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful, to be what you seem
Should there be eyes like yours?
Should there be lips like yours?
Should there be smiles like yours?
Honest and truly
You stepped out of a cloud
I wanna take you away, away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart out of a dream
Safe in my heart
You stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful, to be what you seem
Should there be eyes like yours?
Should there be lips like yours?
Should there be smiles like yours?
Honest and truly
You stepped out of a cloud
I wanna take you away, away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart out of a dream
Safe in my heart
You stepped out of a cloud
I wanna take you away, away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart out of a dream
Safe in my heart
Out of a dream
You must have been a beautiful baby,
You must have been a wonderful child . . .
When you were only startin' to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little girls wild!
An' when it came to winning blue ribbons,
You must have shown the other kids how . . .
I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow!
Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby,
'Cause baby look at you now
The more I see you,
The more I want you
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows
With every sigh
I become more mad about you
More lost than I think and so it goes
Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try
*[Other versions may add the following verse:
Each time I look at you
Is like the first time
Each time you're near me
The thrill is new
And there is nothing
That I wouldn't do for
You deserve sixteen lackeys
Waitin' on your night and day
And thirty two hands wavin' fans
Just to brush the flies away
You deserve persian maidens
just to stand and peel your grapes
And dressed in pearls harem girls
in half a dozen sizes and shapes
If i had the riches of Sumatra
I will give you all i own
You deserve a queen like Kleopatra
to come along and share your throne
But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love gonna geetin' from me
You deserve ???? barges
just to float you down the Nile
And when you blue you will have a few jesters
just to make yoou smile
If i had the riches of Sumatra
I will give you all i own
You deserve a queen like Kleopatra
to come along and share your throne
But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love gonna geetin' from me
Baby, gonna get from me
Baby, gonna get from me
You deserve sixteen lackeys
Waiting' on you night and day
And thirty two hands waving' fans
Just to brush the flies away
You deserve Persian maidens
just to stand and peel your grapes
And dressed in pearls harem girls
in half a dozen sizes and shapes
If i had the riches of Sumatra
I would give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
to come along and share your throne
But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love you gonna get from me
You deserve n good barges
just to float you down the Nile
And when you blue you will have a few jesters
just to make you smile
If i had the riches of Sumatra
I would give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
to come along and share your throne
But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love you gonna get from me
Baby, gonna get from me
You came a long way from St. Louis, you climbed the ladder of success,
I've seen the town and country cars that were parked out in front of your fancy address.
You came a long way from St. Louis, you broke a lotta hearts between,
I've seen a gang of gloomy gals who were doing alright till you came on the scene.
You came here from the middle west, and certainly impressed the population hereabouts.
Well, baby, I got news for you, I'm from Missouri too.
So natcherly I got my doubts, you got `em dropping by the wayside,
A feeling I ain't gonna know.
Sweet one, fairer than the flowers
Never will I meet one sweeter than you
Would you turn away or could you
Really learn to care if I ever dare
To say I love you
If the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me
If the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to sleep my whole life through
For you brought a new kind of love to me
I know that I'm the slave, you're the queen
But still you can understand
That underneath it all you're a maid
And I am only a man
I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So If I broke your heart last night,
Winter Weather
I love the winter weather
Because the two of us can get together
There's nothing sweeter and finer
When it's nice and cold, I can hold
Baby closer to me
Collecting all the kisses that are due me
I love the winter weather
Because I've got my love to keep me warm
I love the winter weather
So the two of us can get together
There's nothing sweeter and finer
When it's nice and cold, I can hold
Baby closer to me
Collecting little kisses that are due me
I love the winter weather
I remember dancing to the velvet summer nights
Stars that softly flickered through a thousand colored lights
Sitting patiently until the sun began to rise
When morning turned our laughter to good byes
(Refrain)
Where did they go, all the good times
And the flowers and the wine
The young men who held me
All the lovers who were mine
Where did they go, all the sweet years
Filled with laughter ev'ry day
When time went on forever
Oh, when did they slip away
Driving through the midnight streets in gently falling rain
A man might offer everything except, of course, his name
Leaning close he'd whisper how his love would never die
Till once again the morning meant goodbye
(Refrain)
Now it's time to light another candle on the cake
Join me in a glass of wine, if just for old time's sake
We'll drink to all our wishes now, wherever they may be
If one or two come true just think of me
Sometimes you think you've lived before all that you live today
Things you do come back to you as if they knew the way
Oh, the tricks your mind can play
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the close you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
They call me coquette and mademoiselle
And I must admit I like it quite well
It's something to be the darling of all
Le grande femme fatale
The Belle of the Ball
There's nothing as gay as life in 'Paree'
There's no other person I'd rather be
I like what I do I like what I see.
But where is the schoolgirl that used to be me?
You'll see me at ... and Spain
I follow the sun by boat or by plane
It's any old millionaire in a storm
For I've got my mink to keep my heart warm
And sometimes I drink too much with the crowd
And sometimes I laugh a little too loud
My head may be aching bit it's unbowed
And sometimes I see it all through a cloud.
Ah, the apple tree.
And the hive of bees.
Where we once got stung
Summers at Bordeaux
Rowing the bateau
Where the willow hung
Just a dream ago
If he told me that I should steal,
I guess I would, the way I feel,
For this is one thing I know is real,
What more can a woman do?
And if he told me that I should lie,
I guess at least I'd have to try!
'Cause it's for him I live or die,
What more can a woman do?
It's just another story
Of Jim or Bill or Joe,
But when you really love a man,
You've gotta let him know!
If he told me that I should leave,
That's only one thing I can't conceive,
I'd rather give and not receive,
What more can a woman do?
If he told me that I should leave,
That's only one thing I can't conceive,
I'd rather give and not receive,
What more can a woman do?
Kiss today goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love
Look, my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It's as if we always knew
And I won't forget what I did for love
What I did for love
Gone
Love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember
Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love
What I did for love
What I did for
Love
Love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember
Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow
Point me toward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love what I did for love
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Cold, no I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe slow to warm on a long, lonely night
Let someone start believing in you
Let her hold out her hand
Let her touch you and watch what happens
One someone who can look in your eyes
And see into your heart
Let her find you and watch what happens
Cold, no, I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you
And what magic you'll see
Let someone give her heart
Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
No never before
has someone been more ooh
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles
Dream with me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes the mornin'
We'll roll along
May be blue skies 'bove
Everyone's in love
Up a lazy river
How happy we'll be
Up a lazy river with me
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That lazy lazy river in the noon day sun
You can linger for awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles baby
Dream a dream of me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes a brand new mornin'
Where we can roll along
There may be blue skies up above
But as long as we're in love
Yeah we'll be up a lazy river
How happy we could be
If you're feeling fancy free,
Come wander through the world with me,
And any place we chance to be
Will be our rendezvous.
Two for the road, we'll travel down the years,
Collecting precious memories,
Selecting souvenirs and living life
the way we please.
*In summertime the sun will shine,
In winter we'll drink summer wine,
And every day that you are mine
Will be a lovely day.
As long as love still wears a smile,
I know that we'll be two for the road,
And that's a long, long, while.
In summertime the sun will shine,
In winter we'll drink summer wine,
And every day that you are mine
Will be a lovely day.
As long as love still wears a smile,
I know that we'll be two for the road,
Too late now to forget your smile
The way we cling when we danced awhile
Too late now to forget and go on to someone new
Too late now to forget your voice
The way one word makes my heart rejoice
Too late now to imagine myself away from you
All the things we've done together
I relive when we're apart
All the tender fun together
Stays on in my heart
How could I ever close the door
And be the same as I was before?
Darling, no, no I can't anymore
It's too late now
[Instrumental break]
All the things we have done together
I relive when we're apart
All the tender fun together
Stays on in my heart
How could I ever close the door
And be the same as I was before?
Darling, no, no I can't anymore
It's too late now
Those eyes that smile
My type my style
Be wise be smart
Behave my heart
Don't upset your cart
When he's so close
Be soft be sweet
But be discreet
Don't go off your feet
He's so close for comfort
Too close too close for comfort
Please not again
Too close too close to know
Just when to say "When"
Be firm be fair
Be sure beware
On your guard take care
While there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
He's much too close for comfort now
Be wise be smart
Take care beware
Be soft be sweet
Be nice discreet
Be calm be cool
Don't be a fool
You'll learn in school
Oh it's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Things are swingin',
Birds are singin',
And just what do you think those bells are doin' but ringin'?
'Cause they have to ring to make this whole thing rhyme,
And you know that things are swingin' all the time.
If the news is
What the blues is,
Then we'd better just practice up on our ones and twoses,
'Cause where love is you can always find a rhyme,
And where love is, things are swingin' all the time.
It's as simple as
As a dimple,
Just remember that
You can find some brand new swingin' ideas
Underneath your hat!
So keep countin',
Keep it mountin',
Till you think it must be Ponce de Leon's fountain!
Yes, the fountain of youth, for those who know the score,
Means that things will keep on swingin' for evermore.
Like an ocean
That's in motion,
Like the wind that's blowin' the boat right in to shore,
It's the livin'est thing to live and breathe
And keep on laughin' up your sleeve;
Things are swingin' and they'll keep swingin' some more.
Yes, things are swingin' and they'll keep swingin' some more,
There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there together
There's a bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to share together
Looking through the window
You can see that distant steeple
Not a sign of people -- who wants people?
When the steeple bell says,
"Good night, sleep well,"
We'll thank the small hotel together
And when the steeple bell says,
"Good night, sleep well,"
There'll be a change in the weather;
And a change in the sea,
From now on there'll be a change in me;
My walk will be diff'rent, my talk and my name -
Nothin' about me gonna be the same.
I'm gonna change my way of livin',
And if that ain't enough,
I'm gonna change the way I strut my stuff.
Nobody wants you when you're old and gray -
There'll be some changes made today,
The sweetest sounds Ill ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words Ill ever know, are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all, is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Someday, when I'm awfully low
And the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely
With your smile so warm, and your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that smile that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it, 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
Watch that fringe an' see how it flutters
When I drive them high-steppin' strutters
Nosy pokes will peak through their shutters and their eyes will pop!
The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather.
With eisenglass curtains you can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather
Two bright side-lights winkin' and blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'
You can keep yer rig if yer thinkin' that I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny little surry with the fringe on the top
The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather.
With eisenglass curtains you can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather
Two bright side-lights winkin' and blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'
You can keep yer rig if yer thinkin' that I'd keer to swap
We are Siamese if you please
We are Siamese if you don't please
We are former residents of Siam
There are no finer cat than I am
Do you see what I see with my eyes?
People have been baking up some pies
Peeping jumping up upon their window
Though delicious spice we could get into
Who is that who is living in that wire house
It must be a bird because it's not a mouse
If we're sneakin' up upon it carefully
There will be some bird for you and some for me
Do you seeing that thing swimming round and round?
Maybe we could reaching in and make it drown
If we're sneakin' up upon it carefully
the shadow of yur smile when you are gone
will color all y reams and light the dawn
look into my eyes, my love, and see
all the lovely things are to me
our wistful little star was far too high
a teardrope kissed your lips & so di i
now when i remember spring
all the joy that love can bring
i will be remembeing
That old master painter from the faraway hills painted the violets and the daffodills
He put the purple in the twilight haze, then did a rainbow for the rainy days
Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies, painted the devil in my darlin's eyes
Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills
The old master painter from the faraway hills
Then came his masterpiece and when he was through
He smiled down from heaven and he gave me you
What a beautiful job on that wonderful day
That old master painter from the hills far away
The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid
The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
The party's over
It's time to call it a day
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started to hum
Still its a real good bet, the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come, and wont that be fine
You think youve seen the sun, but you aint seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up is underway
Wait till out lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You aint seen nothin yet
The best is yet to come, and wont that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
Come the day that your mine
Im gonna teach you to fly
Weve only tasted the wine
Were gonna drain that cup dry
Wait till your charms are right, for the arms to surround
You think youve flown before, but you aint left the ground
Wait till youre locked in my embrace
Wait till I hold you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There aint nothin like it here
The best is yet to come, and wont that be fine
That's the way it goes
No one ever knows
Just like that, it only took a minute
And I belong to you
You can never tell
That's how fast I fell
I just thought that there was nothing in it
But that is far from true
Now I thought that I was clever
You couldn't take me by surprise
But I found I'd be in love forever
The moment I looked in your eyes
That's the way it goes
No one ever knows
Here's my heart and you deserve to win it
I can only give you love that lasts forever
And a promise to be near each time you call,
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone,
That's all, that's all.
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall,
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter night,
That's all, that's all.
There are those, I am sure, that have told you
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and ever more,
I was an icky couldn't get in the groove
Till this old band began to move
Ree ree fah fah bye bye bye
That did it Marie.
The heat was rising to a hundred and five
When all the cats gave out the jive
Ree ree fah fah bye bye bye
That did it Marie.
Dig that sax you jumpin jacks
Does that eighty-eighter send ya
Jump jump jump it to that trumpet
Satch is gonna blow a bunch of riffs
They called me squarey when I walked in at eight
By twelve o'clock they called me gate
Ree ree fah fah bye bye bye
That did it Marie.
Note: An "icky" is someone who can't dance.
A "gate" (like a swinging gate) is someone who "swings" (dances).
The chorus (ree ree fah fah bye bye bye) is just a nonsense line,
Did you say I've got a lot to learn?
Well babe, don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Go on, teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Go on, teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me tonight
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation's almost here, my love
Oh oh teach me...
Oh oh
Talk to me baby tell me lies
Tell me lies as sweet as apple pies
And if your lips have never told a fib
You might adlib with your eyes
Ooh, tell me I'm marvelous, exaggerate
Prevaricate if you must just
Talk to me baby soft and low
And then if you decide it's really so
Swear you'll be mine forever otherwise
Just talk to me and tell me lies
Say that we're helpless in the hands of fate
Prevaricate if you must just
Talk to me baby soft and low
And then if you decide it's really so
Then swear you'll be mine forever otherwise
Ah, just talk to me and tell me lies, lies, lies, lies
A great big beautiful wonderful
Beautiful lies, lies, lies, lies
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
Now I'm taking that game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
I got that grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
I'm in a groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondring in the night
What were the chances wed be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -
Ever since that night weve been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all the days of the year that you live be laughing days
With all my heart, sweet happy life
And may the night times that follow the days be dancing nights
Stars for your smile
Moons for your hair
And someone?s wonderful love
For your loving heart to share
My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing
And if a wish can make it be
I wish you spend everyday of your happy life with me
Stars for your smile
Moons for your hair
And someone?s wonderful love
For your loving heart to share
My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing
And if a wish can make it be
Play the guitar, play it again, my Johnny
Maybe you're cold but you're so warm inside
I was always a fool for my Johnny
For the one they call Johnny Guitar
Play it again, Johnny Guitar
What if you go, what if you stay, I love you
But if you're cruel, you can be kind, I know
There was never a man like my Johnny
Like the one they call Johnny Guitar
There was never a man like my Johnny
Like the one they call Johnny Guitar
Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your dad is rich and your mom's good looking
So hush little baby baby don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There ain't nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy mommy standing by
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There ain't nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy mommy standing by
Midnight, you heavy laden, it's midnight
Come on and trade in your old dreams for new
Your new dreams for old
I know where they're bought
I know where they're sold
Midnight, you've got to get there at midnight
And you'll be met there by others like you
Brothers as blue
Smiling on the street of dreams
Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, sliver and gold
All you can hold is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams
Midnight, look at the steeple, it's midnight
Unhappy people, it's ringing with joy
It's ringing with cheer
'Cause yesterday's gone
Tomorrow is near
Midnight, the heart is lighter at midnight
Things will be brighter the moment you find
More of your kind
Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, sliver and gold
All you can hold is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Long as love is sure
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time
The time
So weary all the time
Since he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away
Old rocking chair' will get me
All I do is pray
That the lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy Weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time
I can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy Weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time
Since my man and I we ain't together
Strange dear, but true dear,
When I'm close to you, dear,
The stars fill the sky,
So in love with you am I.
Even without you,
My arms fold about you,
You know darling why,
So in love with you am I.
In love with the night mysterious,
The night when you first were there,
In love with my joy delirious,
When I knew that you could care,
So taunt me, and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm yours, till I die.....
So in love.... So in love....
So in love with you, my love... am I...
Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm blue,
My disposition depends on you.
I never mind the rain from the skies,
If I can find the sun in your eyes.
Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you,
But when I hate you, it's 'cause I love you.
That's how I am so what can I do?
I'm gonna be a shady lady bird
I got an awful lot to learn
But if you tell me that my heart's on fire
I'm gonna let it burn
I'm gonna be a shockin' mockin' bird
I'm gonna mingle with the best
I'm gonna try to find my heart's desire
I'm gonna rob the nest
Just like little miss muffett
Eating her whey and curds
When I act a bit tough
I frighten away the birds
I'm gonna be a slummin' hummin' bird
I'm gonna pass along the word
I'm gonna have my fun and never tire
And if my technique seems absurd
That's because I've never been
A shady lady bird.
(Musical Break)
I'm gonna be a shady lady bird
I hope the payment is deferred
For if I fly back safely to my perch
And find the worst has not occurred
That's because I've never been
I know I stand in line until you think
You have the time to spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two......
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
Something stupid like I love you
I can see it in your eyes that you despise
The same old lines you heard the night before......
And though it's just a line to you for me it's true......
And never seemed so right before
I practice everyday to find some clever lines
To say to make the meaning come true......
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head......
The stars get red and on the nights so blue......
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
the leaves of brown came tumblin' down, remember
in september in the rain
the sun went out just like a dying ember
that september in the rain
to every word of love i heard you whisper
the raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain
though spring is here, to me it's still september
that september in the rain
to every word of love i heard you whisper
the raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain
though spring is here, to me it's still september
that september in the rain
Someone who cares,
Someone who dares to love you,
Someone who thinks enough of you,
To always be willing to share . . .
Someone who gives,
Someone who lives inside you,
Someone who'll be strong beside you,
Through all the days that you live . . .
I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me,
I've made in my heart a soft place for you,
Come, stay with me, dream with me,
Sleep while the morning's new . . .
Someone who dreams,
Of being in your mind tomorrow,
Sharing your joys and your sorrow,
Helping you see what it means,
I'm somebody nobody loves
Oh me, oh my, my, my
I'm somebody nobody loves,
I wonder why, why, why
Although I know it's most alarmin'
I've prayed on bended knee
For that certain gay prince charmin'
Who was meant for me
I've got to find me a somebody soon
Or else I'll die, die, die,
I'd take the man in the moon
If he'd give me a try
I'm just a lonesome Cinderella
That romance passes by
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
I wonder who he can be
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew
Who can he be worries me
For every boy who passes me, I shout 'Hey, maybe'
You were meant to be my loving baby, baby, oh
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe it's you
For every boy who passes me, I shout 'Hey, maybe'
You were meant to be my loving baby, baby
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe, it's
Baby, it's
Somebody else is taking my place,
Somebody else now shares your embrace,
While I am trying,
To keep from crying,
You go around with a smile on your face.
(chorus)
Little you care for vows that you made,
How little you care how much I have paid,
My heart is aching,
My heart is breakin'g
The old prospectors nose for gold
the sailor who can read the sky
the gamblers sense of when to fold
the trick to making apple pie
these mysteries one cannot explain
this old black art
so queer and quaint
like making love, or making rain
either you got it,
aint
Some cats know
you can tell by the touchin
they don't come on huffin and puffin
and grabbin and clutchin
some cats know
how to take it nice and slow
but if a cat don't know
a cat don't know
some cats know
how to stir up the feelin
they keep foolin round
till they're half way to the celin
some cats know
how to make the honey flow
but if a cat don't know
a cat don't know
some cats know just where it's at
they are not like some others
I would ruther one like that
If I had my druthers
Some cats know
how to play nice and pretty
nice and soft
and soon you're off to
good time city
some cats know
how to take it nice and slow
but if a cat don't know
a cat don't know

In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die
I sit in my chair
I'm filled with despair
There's nobody could be so sad
With gloom ev'rywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Refrain:
Put on your slumming clothes and get your car
Let's go sightseeing where the high-toned people are
Come on, there's lots of fun in store for you
See how the other half lives on Park Avenue
Let's go slumming, take me slumming
Let's go slumming on Park Avenue
Let us hide behind a pair of fancy glasses
And make faces when a member of the classes passes
Let's go smelling where they're dwelling
Sniffing ev'rything the way they do
Let us go to it, they do it
Why can't we do it too?
Let's go slumming, nose thumbing, on Park Avenue
[2nd chorus:]
Let's go slumming, take me slumming
Let's go slumming on Park Avenue
Where the social hearts for Broadway lights are throbbing
And they spend their nights in smart cafes hobknobbing, snobbing
Come let's eye them, pass right by them
Looking down our noses as they do
Let us go to it, they do it
Why can't we do it too?
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow too.
Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your ears,
and sing everything you see,
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing along with me.
Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue,
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
Senza fine
Let it always be senza fine
There's no end to our love
Our hopes, our dreams, our sighs
No end at all, no sad goodbyes
No fears, no tears, no love that dies
It's senza fine
Senza fine
Let it always be senza fine
Never-ending
The sunlit days, the moonlit nights
The sea, the sand, the starry heights
Are yours and mine forever more
All we are and all we know
Is love and love alone, so
We'll go floating far above
In never-ending timeless love
(Let it always be senza fine)
Never-ending
The sunlit days, the moonlit nights
The sea, the sand, the starry heights
Are yours and mine forever more
Let it always be senza fine
You see, see, rider, you see what you have done?
You made me love you
Made me love you, now your man done come
You made me love you, now your man have come
Ain't no more potatoes, the frost have killed the vine
Well, the blues ain't nothin' but a good woman on your mind
The blues ain't nothin' but a good woman on your mind
The blues ain't nothin' but a good woman on your mind
You see, see, rider, you see what you done?
You done made me love you
You made me love you
I've told you, baby and your mama told you, too
"You're three times seven, you know what you wanna do,
three times seven, you know what you wanna do,
you're three times seven, you know what you wanna do"
If I had-a listened to my second mind,
Lord, I wouldn't -a been sittin' here and wringin' my hands and cryin'
I wouldn't been sittin' here, wringin' my hands and cryin'
I wouldn't been sittin' here, wringin' my hands and cryin'
You see, see, rider, you see what you have done?
You done made me love you
When my teeth are rinsed in a glass by my bed,
and my hair lies somewhere in a drawer,
you know, the world doesn't seem like a very nice place,
not a very nice place anymore.
But I put in my teeth, and I slap on my hair
and a strange thing occurs when I do,
my teeth start to feel like my very own teeth
and my hair like my very own too.
And I'm ready to begin again.
Ready to begin again.
Reachin' for the soap,
my heart is full o' hope
again, again.
Ready to begin again!
Looking fresh and bright I trust.
Ready to begin again,
Heaven please send to all mankind,
Understanding and peace of mind.
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love.
Show all the world how to get along,
Peace will enter when hate is gone.
But, if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love.
I lay awake night and ponder world troubles.
My answer is always the same.
That unless men put an end to all of this,
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame.
Just because I'm in misery.
I'm not begging for no sympathy.
But if it's not asking too much,
Just send me someone to love.
Heaven please send to all mankind,
Understanding and peace of mind.
But if it's not asking too much,
Little boy lost
In search
Of little boy found
You go on wondering, wandering
Stumbling, tumbling
'Round. . . 'round. . .
When will you find
What's on the tip of your mind
Mmm...Why are you blind
To all you ever were
Never were
Really are
Nearly are
Little boy false
In search
Of little boy true
Will you be ever done
Traveling
Always unraveling
You, . . you. . .
Running away
Could leave you farther astray
And as for fishing in streams
For pieces of dreams
Those pieces will never fit
What is the sense of it
Little boy blue
Don't let your little sheep roam
It's time come blow your horn
Meet the morn
Look and see
Can you be
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
On the sunny side of the street
Cant you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But Im not afraid...this rover? s crossed over
If I never had a cent
Id be rich as rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
(instrumental break)
I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now Im not afraid... this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I? ll still be rich as rockefeller
There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second
You may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I can be here
On the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
An overpowering feeling that any second
It may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, baby, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I won't care if I can be here
On the street where you live
Baby, I won't care if I can be
I look at you and suddenly,
Something in your eyes I see;
Soon begins bewitching me.
It's that old devil moon;
That you stole from the skies.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
You and you glance;
Make this romance;
Too hot to handle.
Stars in the night;
Blazing their light;
Can't hold a candle;
To your razzle-dazzle.
You've got me flyin' high and wide;
On a magic carpet ride;
Full of butterflies inside.
Wanna cry, wanna croon,
Wanna laugh like a loon.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
Just when I think, I'm;
Free as a dove.
Old devil moon,
Deep in your eyes,
When they met, the way they smiled
I saw that I was through
Oh, you crazy moon
What did you do
And when they kissed, they tried to say
That it was just in fun
Oh, you crazy moon
Look what you've done
Once you promised me, you know
That it would never end
You should be ashamed to show
Your funny face my friend
(And) There they are, they fell in love
I guess you think that you're smart
Oh, you crazy moon
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye,
An' it looks like its climbin' clear up to the sky.
Chorus:
Oh what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a wonderful feeling,
Everything's going my way.
Repeat chorus
All the cattle are standing like statues,
All the cattel are standing like statues,
They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by.
But a little brown mav'rick is winking her eye.
Repeat chorus
All the sounds of the earth are like music,
All the sounds of the earth are like music,
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree,
And an ol' Weepin' Willer is laughin' at me.
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
How you can love!
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
Heavens above!
You make my sad heart jump with joy,
And when you're near I just
Can't sit still a minute.
I'm so, Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
Please tell me dear.
What makes me love you so?
You're not handsome, it's true,
But when I look at you,
I just, Oh, Johnny!
Let's take it nice and easy
It's gonna be so easy
For us to fall in love
Hey baby what's your hurry
Relax and don't you worry
We're gonna fall in love
We're on the road to romance - that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way
The problem now of course is
To simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame
My old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
For I haven't met a gent
So innocent or elegant
As my old flame
I've met so many men
With fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Some who sent me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame
I've met so many men
With fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Some who sent me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
It costs me a lot but there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet, tired, you bet
All of that I'll soon forget with my man
He's not much for looks, ain't no hero out of books
He's my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me but I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't good, he isn't true
He beats me too
What can I do?
Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just a spare but I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say, I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still
Through all my school days
I hated boys
Those April Fool days
Brought me loveless joys
I read my Plato
Love, I thought a sin
But since your kiss
My love, forgive me,
I didn't mean to have it end like this,
I didn't mean to have you fall in love, in love with me.
My love, please kiss me,
Arrivederci amore, kiss me,
Remember when we part, you'll have my heart,
I love you so.
It was just a slight flirtation,
That was all it was to be,
How could I know this fascination
Would turn to love for you and me.
How to tell you of my heartache?
How to tell you I'm not free?
How can I bear to see your heart break,
Well - who is the hippie that's happenin' all over our town?
Tearin' up chicks with the message that he lays down
Who is the coolest guy, what is, what am?
That's fast-talkin' - slow walkin' - good-lookin' Mohair Sam.
Chicks are makin; reservations for his lovin' so fine (so fine)
Screamin' and shoutin' he's got 'em all waitin' in line
Who is the coolest guy, what is, what am?
That's fast-talkin' - slow walkin' - good-lookin' Mohair Sam.
Who is the hippie that's happenin' all over our town?
Tearin' up chicks with the message that he lays down
Who is the coolest guy, what is, what am?
you look to me like misty roses,
too soft to touch but too lovely ---too leave alone
if I could be like misty roses,
I'd love you much-you're too lovely--to leave alone
flowers often cried-but too late to find, t
hat the bearty has been lost--with their piece of mind
you look to me like love forever,
Too blue to lust but too lovely--love to try
If I believe in love forever,
I'd forget the past-you're too lovely--not to try
you're too lovely not try
Look at me
I'm an helpless as a kitten up a tree
and I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty
just holding your hand
Walk my way
and a thousand violins begin to play
or it might be the sound of your hello
that music I hear
I get misty
the moment you're near
You can say
that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
that's why I'm following you
On my own
would I wander through this wonderland alone
never knowing my right foot from my left
my hat from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love
You can say...
Melancholy lullaby,
Coming from a troubled sky,
Winging through the clinging vine
Right into this heart of mine.
Melancholy lullaby,
Listen to the night wind sigh,
How can I expect to sleep
When I lay me down to weep?
Your love has cooled
>From flame to ice,
And I've been fooled
Into a fool's paradise!
Hear the music of the rain
Beating on my window pane;
Wish that I could say goodbye
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'
I don't know why
I stay home each night
When you say you phone
You don't and I'm left alone.
Sing the blues and sighin'
You treat me coldly each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever somebody is near, dear
I must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't, for can't you see
Love is just around the corner, any cozy little corner.
Love is just around the corner when I'm around you.
I'm a sentimental mourner, and I couldn't be forlorner,
When you keep me in a corner just waiting for you.
Venus de Milo was noted for her charms,
But strictly between us, you're cuter than Venus,
And what's more you got arms.
So cuddle in a corner, any cozy corner,
Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear you breathe a flame
Lover it's immoral
But why quarrel without bliss
When two lips of coral want to kiss
I see the devil is in you
And to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue I'd die
Lover, please be tender
When you're tender fears depart
Lover,please surrender to my heart
Maybe I should have saved
those left-over dreams
funny, but here's that rainy day!
Here's that rainy day
they told me about
and I laughed at the thought
that it might turn out this way!
Where is that worn-out wish
that I threw aside,
after it brought my lover near?
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny, that rainy day is here!
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny . . .
Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin'
That he's so willin' to make whoopee
Now picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring, yes
He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
Another year, maybe less
What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected, and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee
Yeah, she sits alone,
Most every night
He doesn't phone, he doesn't write
He says he's busy,
But she says, "Is he?"
He's makin' whoopee
Now he doesn't make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You'll pay six to her."
He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
Judge say, "Budge. Right into jail.
You'd better keep her. I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee."
Yes, yeah, you better keep her
Daddy, I think it's cheaper
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly whites
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, sunny morning
Lies a body just oozin' life
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be oh Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat down by the river don'tcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'droopin' on down
Oh that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Mack he's back in town
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Oooh Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town.
Aah I said Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo
The lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of a subway train
The rattle of the taxis
The daffydils who entertain
At Angelo's and Maxi's
When a Broadway baby says good night
It's early in the morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight
Until the dawn
Good night, baby
Good night, the milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Hey!
The band begins to go to town
And everyone goes crazy
You rock-a-bye your baby round
'Til everything gets hazy
Hush-a-bye, I'll buy you this and that
You hear a daddy saying
And baby goes home to her flat
To sleep all day
Good night, ba-aby
Good night, the milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Listen to the lullaby
The sky was blue
And high above
The moon was new
And so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover where can you be
You came at last
Love had its day
That day is past
You've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I grow lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on.
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on.
Look up, look up and greet your maker,
For Gabriel blows his horn.
Weary, totin' such a load,
Travelin' down that lonesome road,
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on.
Weary totin', it's such a load,
Whike I'm travelin' down, travelin' down that lonesome old road,
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You wont believe me but I love you only
Id rather be lonley than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
Therell be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue
I want you love, dont wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
Theres no love for nobody else
Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You wont believe me but I love you only
Id rather be lonley than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
Therell be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue
Say I want your love, dont wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
My love is your love
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
He's my guy, I don't care what he does
'Cause he's my guy, I guess he always was,
He's careless about me, I don't think he tries
But once in a while he'll hug me and smile
Then I can see me in his eyes
Oh he's my guy, I know he'll always be
And I will try to keep him loving me
However he wants me, I'm his until I die
For nobody knows, better than I
I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, I say
I say I'll go through fire
And I'll go through fire
As he wants it, so it will be
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, you see
Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
