What do ya wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say
They make me glad, they make me sad
They make me want a lot of things that I never had
You're fooling around with me now
Well you lead me on and then you run away
Well that's all right, I'll get you alone some night
And baby you'll find, you're messing with dynamite
So what do ya wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say
What do ya wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say
They make me glad, they make me sad
They make me want a lot of things that I never had
You're fooling around with me now
Well you lead me on and then you run away
Well that's all right, I'll get you alone some night
And baby you'll find, you're messing with dynamite
So what do ya wanna make those eyes at me for
If they don't mean what they say
I gotta move.
I gotta move.
That's what I tell my landlord, landlord!
I gotta move!
Cause there's a man lives right upstairs from me
Making a nightmare of some melody.
This is a situation not likely to improve.
He goes a' rumble rumble rumble on the left hand.
He goes a' tinkle tinkle tinkle on the right.
Rumble rumble rumble,
tinkle tinkle tinkle
Plays piano all night!
He goes a' rumble rumble rumble on the bottom.
He goes a' tinkle tinkle tinkle on the top.
Rumble rumble rumble,
Tinkle tinkle tinkle
Positively won't stop!
I tried a' knocking knocking knocking on the ceiling.
I tried a' knocking knocking knocking on the wall.
He takes a breather-
No he doesn't either!
Just when I figured that's all
He goes a' rumble rumble rumble on the black keys.
He goes a' tinkle tinkle tinkle on the white.
Rumble rumble rumble,
Tinkle tinkle tinkle,
Plays piano all right,
But he plays piano all night!
Instead of cooking himself a fine kettle of tea up there
Or maybe getting himself a girl and taking her out somewhere,
Instead of sitting around, reading the jokes, washing his socks, writing his folks, taking his pills, sleeping the night through,
What does he do?
What does he do?!?
He goes a' rumble rumble rumble
Look at the whole building crumble!
Tinkle tinkle tinkle
Look at the wallpaper wrinkle!
Rumble rumble rumble,
Tinkle tinkle tinkle,
He could give insomnia to Rip Van Winkle!
With his rumble rumble rumble
I've got a good right to grumble!
Tinkle tinkle tinkle
I'm going to reach for the... stop it, will you?
Rumble, tinkle,
PLEASE somebody break his lease!
I tried to hammer hammer hammer on the steampipe.
I tried to hollar hollar hollar down the hall.
I got a feeling
He'll come through the ceiling
With the piano and all.
He goes a' pummling pummling pummling with his left hand.
He goes groove groove grooving with his right.
A' pummling and groove, pummling and groove, pummling groove
Pummling till he gets it right.
Then he plays piano
I was alone on the shelf
I was alone on the shelf
In a world by myself.
Oh where could me prince charming be?
But a man came along,
Made my life like a song
And taught me these words of ecstacy tenderly.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin' and some muggin' and some teasin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some pettin' and some spoonin' and some happy honeymoonin'
And some stuff like that there.
I used to think that love was just a lot of rubbish.
A mess of cabbage, a mess of cabbage.
But now my attitude is only lovey-doveish.
And baby you done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin' and some missin' and some mopin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin' and some weapin' and some pacin'
And some stuff like that there.
And when I get a certain feeling I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin' and some muggin' and some teasin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want to be hugged, squeezed, mugged, teased
Stuff like that there.
I want to be petted, spooned, honeymooned,
Stuff like that there.
I used to think romance was bunk,
A double mickey for the ickeys.
But all at once my heart was sunk
And baby you done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin' and some missin' and some mopin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin' and some weapin' and some pacin'
Stuff like that there
And when I get a certain feeling I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin', squeezin', muggin', teasin'
And some stuff, stuff like that there.
Stuff like that there!
In a world by myself.
Oh where could me prince charming be?

Bye bye baby
Time to hit the road to dreamland
You're mine baby
Dig you in the land of nod
Hold tight baby
We'll be swinging up in dreamland
All night baby
Where the little cherubs trot
Well look at that knocked out moon
You been a-blowing his top in the blue
Never saw the likes of you
Bye bye baby
Time to hit the road to dreamland
Don't cry baby
It was divine but the rooster has finally crowed
Time to hit the road
Look at that knocked out moon
He been a-blowing his top in the blue
Never saw the likes of you
Bye bye baby
Time to hit the road to dreamland
Don't cry baby
Well it was divine but the cuckoo has finally crowed
Time to hit the road Time to hit the road
At the early age of three
It first occurred to me
A girl should always try to improve herself.
While the others played with toys,
I practiced charm and poise
And finished Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf,
I exercised each morning,
Cold-creamed my face each night,
Saw my dentist twice a year,
Curbed my appetite,
And so I modestly admit
It didn't help one single bit!
Some girls can make any man dream
By flashing an innocent gleam.
Me, I do a hiccup,
Curl my upper lip up,
Light a roman candle and scream.
I have to do it the hard way!
Some girls can wear any old rags
And capture the wolves and the stags.
Me, I dress in sables,
Walk across the tables
Waving three American flags.
I have to do it the hard way!
Let's say there's a dance,
They're playing a waltz
And I want romance...
That's when I begin turning somersaults.
Some girls can keep men on their toes
By smiling and throwing a rose.
Me, I wrack my noodle
Whistle "Yankee Doodle",
Balancing a broom on my nose
Oh I'm a-telling you why
I have to do it the hard way!
I have to do it the hard way!
Suppose there's a park
A boy on a bench
I'm out for a lark
So I make him fall with a monkey wrench.
When someone like Hedy Lamarr
Steps into the swankiest bar
All the fellas get up
Light her cigarette up
Me, I'd have to smoke a cigar
And then they call me a car.
Doin' everything the hard way!
Doctor, is there a chance for me?
Can't you cure this insanity?
I'm tired of tearing up the town being one of the sights
Wearing funny hats trimmed in neon lights.
Why must all I always be bettered and scorned
Doin' everything the hard way?
Verses not Included on this version:
My freshman year in college
I remember I was mild
I wore pretty clothes, got an A in Geometry
A normal child
But nobody wanted to date me
I'd sit at home and dream
So in order to get attention
I had to scream
The fellas liked girls who wore perfurme
So I bought Forbidden Flower
But I had to mix it with ether
To get them in my power
I didn't want to go crazy
But I ain't kidding, Jack
Since that time I'm telling you I'm
A raving, ranting, impetuous, panning, violent maniac
The girls who read books and wear specs
Get fellas with great intellects
Me, I get fanatics
Guys who live in attics
Yes, I even pick up the checks
I was walking along, minding my business,
When out of an orange-colored sky,
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Wonderful you came by.
I was humming a tune, drinking in sun - shine,
When out of that orange-colored view,
Wham! Bam! Alakazam! I got a look at you.
Bridge;
One look and I yelled "Timber! Watch out for flying glass!"
'Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out,
I went into a spin, and I started to shout,
"I've been hit, this is it, this is it!"
I was walking along, minding my business,
When love came and hit me in the eye
finally found a fella
almost completely divine
but his vocabulary
is killing this romance of mine
we get into an intimate situation
and then begins this character's conversation
he says, murder, he says
every time we kiss
he says, murder, he says
at a time like this
he says, murder, he says
is that the language of love?
he says, solid, he says
takes me in his arms
and says, solid, he says
meaning all my charms
he says, solid, he says
is that the language of love?
he says, chick chick
you torture me
zoom, are we livin?
i'm thinkin of leaving him flat
he says, dig dig the jumps
the old ticker is giving
he can talk plainer than that
he says, murder, he says
every time we kiss
he says, murder, he says
keep it up like this
he says, murder, he says
in that impossible tone
we'll bring on nobody's murder
but his own
he says, jackson, he says
and my name's marie
he says, jackson, he says
shoot the snoot for me
he says, jackson, he says
is that the language of love?
he says, mmmhmm
when he likes my hat
he says, tsk tsk tsk
what the heck is that?
he says, woo hoo! he says
is that the language of love?
he says hep hep with helium
now babe, we're cookin
another expression's too ill
he says, we're in the groove
and the groove is good lookin
sounds like his uppers don't fit!
he says, murder, he says
every time we kiss
he says, murder, he says
keep it up like this
in that, murder, he says
in that impossible tone
we'll bring on nobody's murder
It's oh so quiet
It's oh so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until
You fall in love
Zing boom
The sky up above
Zing boom
Is caving in
Wow bam
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
But soon again
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
So what's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love
It's oh so quiet
It's oh so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until
You ring the bell
Bim bam
You shout and you yell
Hi ho ho
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is 'gorge and I got hit
There's no mistake, this is it
'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
But soon again
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
So what's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love
The sky caves in
The devil cuts loose
You blow blow blow blow blow your fuse
When you've fallen in love
It's lovin' time, I've turned the light low,
There's heavenly music on the radio,
And if my little brother
Is safely in bed, why?
Mother and dad are at the movies,
They were young once, too!
It's all so wonderful, yet I'm so lonely and blue!
It's lovin' time baby, but baby, where are you?
It's all so wonderful, yet I'm so lonely and blue!
It's lovin' time baby, but baby, where are you?
Why do I do just as you say?
Why must I just give you your way?
Why do I sigh?
Why do I try to forget?
It must have been that something lovers call "Fate"
Kept on saying I had to wait
I saw them all
Just couldn't fall till we met
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
I must sit down for a minute, I'm ready to fall in a heap
Willie's been fed and I've tucked him in bed, thank goodness the darling's asleep
He's a wonderful boy and a joy and a boon
SPOKEN: Ahh, gee, you should have seen him this afternoon
Bang went the bridge lamp, down went the table, crash went the china tray
But he said "I couldn't help it, my rocking horse ran away!"
Rip rip went the curtain, wham went the window, crunch went the new buffet
And I heard him tell his daddy "My rocking horse ran away"
Somehow Indians got into our front room
Our cowboy grabbed for his gun and went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Slam went the screen door, smash went the mirror, looks like I'll soon be gray
But he smiles and what's the difference and maybe some Mother's Day
I'll remember when his rocking horse ran away
Got up early this morning, wore a flimsy negligee
Had to hurry to fix the breakfast and get daddy on his way
Figured I could get the paper, so the neighbors wouldn't see
So I sneaked out on the porch, very, very quietly
Wham went the dish pan, then came a holler, up went the neighbor's shade
It was Mother's little darling, out on a commando raid
Came home late from a picture. I was tired, my shoes were tight
Took off my stockings, dropped my girdle
Got undressed and pulled the light. boy!
Slipped into my night gown, then tiptoed across the floor
Better have a look at Junior, so I peeked into his door
Clang, clang, clang went a cowbell, whee went a whistle, I nearly had a stroke
It was mother's precious baby, just havin' his little joke
Always just when I'm breathin' a peaceful sigh
There's G-Men, coppers and robbers and hi-yo silver!
Bam went the book case, boot went the fruit bowl, boom went the glass bouquet
But he smiles and what's the difference and maybe some mother's day
I'll remember when, bang went the lamp, down went the table
Crash went the tray, rip rip went the curtain, wham went a window
Clang went a bell, whee went a whistle, bam went a pan, slam went a door
There's a doctor livin' in your town
There's a lawyer and an Indian, too
And neither doctor, lawyer nor Injun chief
Could love you any more than I do
There's a barrel of fish in the ocean
There's a lot of little birds in the blue
And 'Neither fish nor fowl" says the wise old owl
Could love you any more than I do
No! No! No! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
I'm gonna warn all the *dead-eyed dicks*
That you're the chick with the slickest tricks
And every tick of my ticker ticks for you, follow through
Tell the doc to stick to his practice
Tell the lawyer to settle his case
Send the Injun chief and his tommy-hawk
Back to little Rain-In-the-Face
'cause you
Know! Know! Know! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
(No! No! No! it couldn't be true)
(That anyone else could love you like I do)
And, confidentially, I confess
I sent a note to the local press
That I'll be changin' my home address for you, follow through
Tell the doc to stick to his practice
Tell the lawyer to settle his case
Send the Injun chief and his tommy-hawk
Back to little Rain-In-the-Face
'cause you
Know! Know! Know! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
No! No! No! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
I'm gonna send a hot *communeek*
To warn the boys down at Cripple Creek
That every dimple on your dimpled cheek is mine, so to speak
Tell the (doc!) to stick to his practice
Tell the (lawyer!) to settle his case
Send the (Injun chief!) and his tommy-hawk
Back to little Rain-In-the-Face (woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woo)
'cause you
Know! Know! Know! it couldn't be true
That anyone else could love you like I do
(Like I do)
(Like I do)
His eyes, his nose, his fingers, his toes
His smile when he says please
And when he sneezes, his sneeze
His arms, chest, coat, vest
His everything is sweeter than sweet
I try and try but honest to Pete
I can't stop talkin' about him
And talkin' about him and talkin' about him
I can't stop talkin' about the man that I adore
I can't stop talkin' about him
And talkin' about him and talkin' about him
I can't stop talkin' about him and though I seem a bore
I can't stop tellin' about him and yellin' about him
And tellin' about him
I can't stop hollerin' over the moment that we met
He had a pinstriped whatd'yecallit
A beautiful smile, a barrel of money
I can't stop talkin' about him yet
He kissed me a bell went "boing"
A whistle went "whoo"
A trapped door opened and I flipped right through
And now I can't stop talkin' about him
And talkin' about him and talkin' about him
And if he was yours, well neither would you!
Stop talkin' about him and talkin' about him,
And talkin' about him and talkin' about him
Until your face turned blue
Talkin' about him and talkin' about him,
Talkin' about him and talkin' about him
Blue skies smiling at me,
Nothing but blue skies do I see.
Blue birds singing a song,
Nothing but blue birds all day long.
Never saw the sun shining so bright.
Never saw things go oh so right.
Noticing the days hurrying by.
When you're in love, my my how they fly.
Blue days, all of them gone.
Nothing but blue skies from now on.
Blue skies smiling at me.
Nothing but blue skies do I see.
Blue bird singing a song.
Nothing but blue birds all day long.
Never saw the sun shining so bright.
Never saw things go oh so right.
Dig those days hurrying by.
When you're in love, my my how they fly.
Blue days, all of them gone.
Nothing but blue skies from now on.

Life was so peaceful at the laundry,
Life was so calm and serene,
Life was tres gay
Till that unlucky day
I happened to read that magazine!
Why did I read that advertisement,
Where it says, "Since I rumba, Jim thinks I'm sublime!?
Why, oh why Did I ever try
When I didn't have the talent, I didn't have the money,
And teacher did not have the time? Boy!
Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry;
I had a week to spare,
He showed me the ground work, The walkin' around work,
And told me take it from there!
Arthur Murray Then advised me not to worry;
It would come out all right!
To my way of thinkin' My dance is stinkin',
I don't know my left from my right!
The people around me can all-sing,
"A-one and a-two and a-three",
But any resemblance to waltzing
Is just coincidental with me!
'Cause Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry;
And so I took a chance.
To me it resembles The nine day trembles,
But he guarantees it's a dance!
My tango resembles a two-step,
My rumba makes people turn pale,
My conga goes into a goose-step,
Till the FBI is doggin' my trail!
'Cause Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry;
Maybe the stars were wrong,
If I ain't a menace To Ruth St Dennis,
I'll do until one comes along!
Turkey trot
Or gavotte?
Don't know which,
Don't know what.
Jitterbug?
Bunny hug?
Long as you
Cut a rug!
Walk the dog,
Do the frog,
Lindy hop
Till you drop!
Ball the jack
Back to back,
Cheek to cheek
Till you're weak.
You've heard of Pavlova?
Well Jack, move over!
I used my silver spoon at birth
For throwing meatballs at my nurse
And much to my regret
I can't mingle with the social set.
I use the wrong fork at the Stork in New York
My manners ain't fit for a goof
I'm just a square in the social circle
Who put that fly in my soup?
I'd rather go out with a lout to a bout
Than sleep in a symphony hall
I'm just a square in the social circle
Who knocked my gum off that wall?
When the orderly order flows like butter
I want to start pitchin' a curve
With a silly old blighter on a first nighter
I feel like a pickled hors d'ouvres, no verve
I never felt gay in a fancy beret
I wear babooshka or burst
I'm just a square in the social circle
Finger bowls hurt me the worst
They just don't quench my thirst!
Mrs. Vanderhorst will greet me with a fourteen carat shout
"My Dear, you've simply got to come to my daughter's coming out"
Her daughter is a Frankenstein, a Dracula in mink
When she comes out, each stag will shout "Gadzooks, I need a drink"
I've dined in clubs, I've elbow rubbed from Yonkers to Cheyenne
Phoo to you, bud, take your blue blood and stick it in your fountain pen!
I wanna brush all the plush and the gush
I'd rather get left than be right
I'm just a square in the social circle
Anyone here want a fight?
None of me fits with the wits at the Ritz
I'd rather relax on a stool
I'm just a square in the social circle
Anyone wanna shoot pool?
When the cookie with cabbage gets too savage
Wrastle him three out of four
I would rather a sailor hop in my trailer
And show me his nautical lore, why sure
The ladies in frills only fill me with chills
They're soft as a ball of chenille
I'm just a square in the social circle
I got a muscle of steel
Anyone here want to feel?
I'm as square as a pair in a bootaneer
Fancy silk won't stay on
I'm designed for rayon
But I just don't seem to care

Hot dog! That made him mad
I've got a guy, I like him fine
But he takes me for granted all of the time
To teach him a lesson and make him mad,
I went out on a date with the best friend he had
That made him mad boy, hot dog, that made him mad
And he hugged me and he kissed me and he asked me not
to do it again
Oh, late last night when I came in, he demanded to know
just where I'd been
But I really put him right in his place
Instead of an answer, I laughed in his face
That made him mad boy, hot dog, that made him mad
So he hugged me and he kissed me and he asked me not to
do it again
He said my heart is on my sleeve, and if I didn't
change that he would leave
Well, you shoulda seen him, was his face red,
when I laughed and told him just go right ahead
That made him mad boy, hot dog, that made him mad
So he hugged me and he kissed me and he asked me not to
do it again
The moral is, to play it cool
Let your guy know you're nobody's fool
When he gets to thinking you're all his own,
let him know that you can take him or leave him alone
That makes him mad boy, hot dog, that makes him mad
And he'll hug you and he'll kiss you and he'll ask you
not to do it again
Yeah, he'll hug you and he'll kiss you
He'll squeeze you and he'll please you
Everyone tells me he's no good
He doesn't love me like he should
I would forget him if I only could
He's a demon, he's a devil, he's a doll
That man can look me in the eye
And tell the biggest, sweetest lie
And I forget that lipstick on his tie
He's a demon, he's a devil, he's a doll
Sometimes I make up my mind
That I'll stop being so blind
And tell him off real bad
But then he turns on those charms
And there I am in his arms
And I forget why I'm mad
I ought to tell him "drop dead!"
But I keep loving him instead
My momma must have dropped me on my head
He's a demon, he's a devil, he's a doll
Sometimes he thrills me through and through
Sometimes he's sweet, sometimes he's true
Sometimes I wish he were in Timbuktu
He's a demon, he's a devil, he's a doll
He says he'll call for me late at night
And take me out somewhere to dine
Then staggers in and sings "Sweet Adeline"
He's a darling, he's a dreamboat, he's a dog
I had the measles at two, the chicken pocks and the flu
My whooping cough was grim
I had the itch and the mumps, the poison ivy and clumps
To top it, now I've got him
He's a palooka, he's a brute
He drives me crazy but he's cute
Why do I love a guy I ought to shoot
I'm nobody's baby
I wonder why
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Please send me down somebody to love
But nobody wants me
I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Nobody's baby
And I've got to know the reason why
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
"Hey! Maybe I was meant for you"
But he only shook his head and said "Goodbye"
He kept on walking down the avenue
Nobody wants me
I'm mighty blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
