WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?
Sammy Davis, Jr.
What kind of fool am I
Who never fell in love
It seems that I'm the only one
that I have been thinking of
What kind of man is this?
An empty shell-
A lonely cell in which
an empty heart must dwell
What kind of lips are these
That lied with every kiss
That whispered empty words of love
that left me alone like this
Why can't I fall in love
Like any other man
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am.
What kind of clown am I?
What do I know of life?
Why can't I cast away the mask of play
and live my life?
Why can't I fall in love
Till I don't give a damn
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am

The Shelter Of Your Arms
Sammy Davis Jr.
In this cold world no matter where I go the clouds are all the same.
To them I'm just a pebble in the sand, a face without a name.
Nobody gives a hang for what I say or do . .but you;
And in the shelter of your arms I find peace and comfort and care:
For I am wanted there (wanted there)
In this cold world I struggle to survive and sometimes I would fall.
You think someone would lend a helping hand, they'd sooner see me crawl.
But just when life itself seems more than I can bear you're there
And in the shelter of your arms I find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again (start again).
Just give me one good reason to keep in living,
to keep on trying for what,
I ask you for what,
If not for you and all your love to see me through!
When times looked bad,
the shelter of your arms would keep away each fear.
And this cold world can never get me down as long as you are near.
That's why I pray to God you'll never say goodbye;
And i will know the shelter of your arms and your love
Until the day I die (day I die). (Mmm-mm-mm)
transcribed by Ron Mausolf

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

In this cold world no matter where I go the clouds are all the same.
To them I'm just a pebble in the sand, a face without a name.
Nobody gives a hang for what I say or do . .but you;
And in the shelter of your arms I find peace and comfort and care:
For I am wanted there (wanted there)
In this cold world I struggle to survive and sometimes I would fall.
You think someone would lend a helping hand, they'd sooner see me crawl.
But just when life itself seems more than I can bear you're there
And in the shelter of your arms I find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again (start again).
Just give me one good reason to keep in living,
to keep on trying for what,
I ask you for what,
If not for you and all your love to see me through!
When times looked bad,
the shelter of your arms would keep away each fear.
And this cold world can never get me down as long as you are near.
That's why I pray to God you'll never say goodbye;
And i will know the shelter of your arms and your love

Oh,... they say my people long ago.
Where lookin' for a different tune.
One that we can croon
As only we can.
We only had the rhythm.
So, we started swingin' to and fro.
We didn't know just what to use.
But this is how the blues.
I said the blues really began.
Ohhh yeah.
We..heard... the breeze.
Through the trees.
Singing weird melodies.
And we named that the start of the blues.
Then from a jail.
There came a whale.
From a down-hearted frail.
And we played that.
To be a part of our blues.
From a whippoorwill
High on a hill.
They took a new note.
Pushed it through a horn.
Till it was worn into a blue note.
You better believed me we nursed it.
And we rehearsed it.
Than we gave out the news.

Smile, darn ya, smile
You know this old world is a great world after all
Smile, darn ya, smile
And right away watch "Lady Luck" pay you a call
Things are never black as they are painted
Time for you and joy to get acquainted
Make life worthwhile
Come on and smile, darn ya, smile
Smile, darn ya, smile
For there is nothing that you cannot overcome
Smile, darn ya, smile
And where the clouds appear you soon will find the sun
Life is really only what you make it
Stand right up and show them you can take it
Make life worthwhile

Don't go to bed with no price on your head
Don't do it
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time
Keep your eye on the sparrow
When the going gets narrow
Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price
Don't do it
Don't run your feet down a dead-end street
Keep your eye on the sparrow
When the going gets narrow
Don't do me dirt or you're gonna get hurt
Don't do it
Don't run away till you hear what I say
Keep your eye on the sparrow
When the going gets narrow
Ain't gonna fight with no thief in the night
Won't do it
I'm gonna go where the cold wind don't blow
Keep your eye on the sparrow

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
That I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin

I'm always chasing rainbows
watching clouds drifting by
my dreams are just like all my schemes
ending by a sight
some fellows look and find rainbows
I always look and find the rain
some fellows make a winning sometimes
I never even make a gain, believe me
I'm always chasing rainbows

I'll begin again
I will build my life
I will live to know
I fulfilled my life
I'll begin today
Throw away the past
And the future I build
Will be something that will last
I will take the time
That I have left to live
And I'll give it all
That I have left to give
I will live my days
For my fellow men
And I'll live in praise
Of that moment when
I was able to begin again
I'll begin again
I will change my fate
I will show the world
That it is not too late
I will never stop
While I still have time
'Till I stand at the top
Of the mountain I must climb
I will start anew
I will make amends
And I will make quite certain
That the story ends
On a note of hope
On a strong amen
And I'll thank the world
And remember when
I was able to begin again

I'm not anyone
No not just anyone
I have the right to leave
A life forfilled with every need
I'm not any man
Designed to fit someones plan
I have my own desires
All the things a man aspires
No i'm not be used
Misled, deceived or abused
No sir not me,
I'm free
I'll not give away
The freedom I have is to stay
To say I do, I don't
I will, I won't
No thyself these words are true
No thyself I hope I do
Cried a while but not invain
I removed the child
The man remain
Life fill with those who fail

One day I'll have me a
chauffeur... and a block long limousine
Eee-o-Eleven.
Eee-o-Eleven.
Someday I'll have me a penthouse.
Stacks and stacks of folding green.
Eee-o-Eleven.
Eee-o-Eleven.
It's all a state of mind.
Whether or not you'll fine.
That place down there or heaven.
In the meantime.
Eee-o Eee -o
Eee - o- Eleven.
Eee- o - Eleven.
Eee- o -Eleven.
Show me a man without a dream.
And I'll show you a man that's dead.
Real Dead.
Once I had me a dream.
But that dream got kicked in the head.
Dream dead.
I nearly had me that chauffeur
And that block long limousine.
Eee-o-Eleven
Eee-o-Eleven
I nearly had me that penthouse.
All them stacks of folding green.
Eee-o-Eleven
Eleven.
Some Judge is gonna say.
I'm putting you away.
For four score years add seven.
In the meantime.
Eee-o-Eleven

Goin' to Detroit, Michigan
Girl, I can't take you
Hey, I'm goin' to Detroit, Michigan
Girl, you got to stay here behind
Goin' to get me a job
On the Cadillac assembly line
I'm tired of whoopin' and hollerin'
Up and down the Mississippi road
Hey, I'm tired of whoopin' and hollerin'
Pickin' that nasty cotton
Gonna catch me a bus up North
I won't have to keep sayin' yes, sir, boss
Goin' to Detroit, Michigan
Girl, I can't take you
Hey, I'm goin' to Detroit, Michigan
Girl, you got to stay here behind
Goin' to get me a job
On the Cadillac assembly line
Well, girl, if you'll be alright
And keep your blue jeans zipped up tight
When I make my first check
I'll put you on the Delta jet, hey hey
I'm gonna send for you, darlin'

Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh -- what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light

Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood,
Stardust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this Azure interlude.
I'm not wanted
I'm so all alone;
Always haunted
By the dreams I own;
But, though I
m tormented
I must be contented
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood!
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood,
Star dust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this

A man with a dream, a mighty man is he.
For dreams make a man the man he wants to be.
His coat may be worn, and threadbare at the seams.
Who cares what he wears? His pocket's full of dreams.
So spin, dreamer spin, a dream or two.
Believe as you weave,
for when you do, dreams come true.
A man with a dream, a mighty monarch stands --

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
I've got those icy, icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
That same old tingle I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its ride
And down and down I go, all around I go
Like a leaf that's caught in a tide
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name, and I'm aflame
A flame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Kiss can put out that fire
You're the lover I have for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Darling, down and down I go
Round and round I go
Like a leaf that's caught in a tide
Well, I should stay away
But what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame
A flame with such a burning desire
That only your kisssss put out that fire
You're the lover I have for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby, down and down and down I go
Round and round and round I go
In a spin, ooooh, and I'm lovin' that spin that I'm in
Ooooh, under that old black magic called
Your a dirty robber
Old black magic called
Oooh-oh get out the car
Old black magic called
Mean while back at the ranch

If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it
Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah
What a neat achievement that would be.
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
Maybe take an animal degree.
We'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle,
Alligator, guinea pig, and flea.
We would converse in polar bear and python,
And we could curse in fluent kangaroo.
If people asked us, can you speak in rhinoceros,
We'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?"
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
Think of all the things we could discuss
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals,
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals,

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old, immovable object like me
You can bet as sure as you live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna be kissed
So on guard, who knows what the faiths have in store
From there fast mysterious sky
I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore
But how long can anyone try
Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
You'll find out as sure as we live

It's lonely out tonight
And the feelin' just got right
For a brand new love song
Somebody done somebody wrong song
Hey, wontcha play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby,
While I miss my baby
So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry-y-y-y
A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong
'Cause I don't want to cry all alone
Hey, wontcha play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby,
While I miss my baby
(Instrumental Break)
So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry-y-y-y
A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong
'Cause I don't want to cry all alone
Hey, wontcha play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby,
While I miss my baby
(Hey) wontcha play (wontcha play) another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby,
While I miss my baby
(Hey) wontcha play (wontcha play) another
Somebody done
FADE
Somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby,

Hey there you with the stars in your eyes
love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise.
Hey there you on that high flying cloud
tho' she won't throw a crumb to you
you think someday she'll come to you.
Better forget her, her with her nose in the air
she has you dancing on a string, break it and she won't care.
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a brother
or are you not seeing things too clear
are you too much in love to hear
is it all going in one ear and out the other.
Better forget her, her with her nose in the air
she has you dancing on a string, break it and she won't care.
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a brother
or are you not seeing things too clear
are you too much in love to hear

You're a fighter, you're a lover
You're strong and you recover
From whatever gets you down
And there's so many many reasons
Any time, any season
Is the right time, to be with you
Hello Detroit
You've won my heart
Your renaissance, and waterfronts
Give you a flare of your own
Irresistible you
Hug and kissable you
You're alive with so much feeling
And I will always, be there for you
I will say, a little prayer for you
And I will always care for you
Hello Detroit
You've touched my soul
Thanks for the memories I cherish so
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
You've got it all
Hello Hello Hello
Hello Detroit
On a stroll through Belle Isle Park
Greektown after dark
You instill in the young, the will to become
Stars and champions
Hello my friend
How have you been?
It's in the air
It's everywhere
The magical touch of you
Irresistible you
Hug and kissable you
You're alive with so much feeling
And I will always be there for you
I will say a little prayer for you
I will always care for you
Hello
Big D
Motor City
And the Motown sound that's got the whole world singin'
I will always be there for you
I will always say a little prayer for you
I will always care for you
Hello Detroit
Hello Detroit

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am
I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am
That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am
I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am
That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die

Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she'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
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm and 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
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, much too close

There are chicks just ripe for some kissin'
And I mean to kiss me a few!
Then those chicks don't know what they're missin',
I got a lot of living to do!
Sizzlin' steaks all ready for tastin'
And there's Cadillacs all shiny and new!
Gotta move, cause time is a-wastin',
There's such a lot of livin' to do!
Kim:
There are men of nineteen or twenty
Who are suave and reckless and true
Older men who give a girl plenty
I've gotta a lot of livin' to do
Birdie:
There's music to play,
Places to go, people to see!
Everything for you and me!
Birdie:
There's music to play,(You know it, you know it!)
Places to go, people to see!
Everything (Yeah!)
For you and me!
All:
Oh, Life's a ball
if only you know it
And it's all just waiting for you
You're alive,
So come on and show it
We got a lot of livin'
Such a lot of livin'

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She likes the theater, and never comes late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games, with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
She likes the free, free fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's o'k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
She gets far too hungry, to eat for dinner at eight
She adores the theater, and she doesn't arrives late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Won't have a dice game, with any barons or earls
She will never go to Harlem, dessed in ermine and pearls
And she won't dish the dirt, with all the other girls
That is why the lady is a tramp
She loves the free, free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke
Hates California, 'cause it's so cold and so damp
That's why the lady
That's why the lady

If I am fancy free,
And love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
There's something calling me
From way out yonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
I've got to give vent to my emotions,
I'm only content havin' my way
There is no other life,
Of which I'm fonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
No cares!
No strings!
My heart has wings!
If I am fancy free,
And I love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
(Instrumental Break)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey
and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
and goodies in his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple song
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.
And so I'm offering this simple song
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

Your's is my heart alone
And without you, life holds no charm
Your's every thought I own
Our love the theme of every dream
All that makes life seem worthwhile
Dwells in your eyes and the spell of your smile
There is no song half so sweet to me
As your voice whispering I love you dear
When far away or near you
In dreams I see and hear you
And yielding to your fascination
I kneel to you in adoration dear, you alone
My queen shall reign and my heart you enchain
All day I sigh for you and I dream on the night
I live or die for you my adored vision bright
All that makes life seem worthwhile
Was in your eyes and the spell of your smile
There is no song half so sweet to me

You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be king
You may posses the world and its gold
But gold wont bring you happiness when you're growing old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be a king
You may posses the all world and its gold
But gold wont bring you happiness when you're getting old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody, nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody
You got to get yourself somebody because you're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody to somebody cares
You may be a king
You may posses big fat world and its gold
But gold wont bring you happiness when you're going old
The world's always the same, you'll never change it, change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody, nobody till somebody loves you

Yes I can,
Suddenly yes I can.
Gee I'm afraid to go on , has turn into
Yes I can
Take a look what do you see
133 pounds of confidence me.
Got the feeling,
I can do anything.
Yes I can.
Something that sinks in my blood is telling me.
Yes I can
I was just born today.
I can go all the way.
Yes I can.
(Instrument solo)
Yes I can
Yes I can
Yeah yes I can
yes I can.
Wind me up and watch me fly.
A regular sort of sunburned superman I.
Are you ready.
I can clime Everest.
Yes I can.
I can fight here all night and never rest.
Yes I can.
I have just found the key
Hay doors swing wide for me.
I was just born today.
I can go all the way.

Who can I turn to .
When nobody needs me .
My heart wants to no, and so I must go where destiny leads me.
With no star to guide me.
And no one beside me.
I'll go on my way and after the day the darkness will hide me.
And maybe tommorrow.
I'll fine what I'm after.
I'll throw off my sorrow.
Beag , steal, or borrow, my share of laughter.
With you I can learn to .
With you on a new day.

There's some million things
That we could do this evening
With all the night life
And the silver screen
Oh, we got time
And we could take the town in
Or take the fast cab
Baby, down to New Orleans
But what I got in mind
Is a small cafe, out of the way
Oh baby, we won't stay
No and be too late
What I got mind is to disappear
And baby, let's stay right here
Oh, to tell the truth
What I've got in mind is making love to you
Well, I confess then you can find me guilty
Yes, I'm a selfish lover, I can't deny
But I love you and I don't want to share you
With any night lights or darling, any other eyes
But what I got in mind
Is a small cafe, out of the way
Oh baby, we won't stay
No, no and be too late
What I got mind is to disappear
And, baby, let's stay right here
Oh, to tell the truth
What I've got in mind is making love to you
Oh, to tell the truth

Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold
And the ways of a gentleman I've been told
Kind-of-a-guy that wouldn't even harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met
The guy that invented that cigarette
I'd murder that son-of-a gun in the first degree
It ain't cuz I don't smoke 'em myself
and i don't reckon that it'll hinder your health
I smoked 'em all my life and I ain't dead yet
But nicotine slaves are all the same
at a pettin' party or a poker game
Everything gotta stop while they have a cigarette
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff until you smoke yourself to death.
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait,
But you just gotta have another cigarette.
In a game of chance the other night
Old dame fortune was good and right
The kings and queens they kept on comin' around
Aw, I was hittin' em good and bettin' 'em high
But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy
He kept callin' and layin' his money down
See, he'd raise me then I'd raise him
and I'd say to him buddy ya gotta sink or swim
Finally called me but didn't raise the bet!
''Hmmph! I said Aces Full Pal'' I got you!
He said, "I'll pay up in a minute or two
But right now, i just gotta have another cigarette."
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff until you smoke yourself to death.
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait,
But you just gotta have another cigarette.
Now the other night I had a date
with the cutest little gal in any state
A high-bred, uptown, fancy little dame
She said she loved me and it seemd to me
That things were sorta like they oughtta be
So hand in hand we strolled down lovers lane
She was a long way from a chunk of ice
And our pettin' party was goin' real nice
And I got an idea I might have been there yet
So I give her a kiss and a little squeeze
Then she said, "Travis, Excuse me Please
But I just gotta have a cigarette."
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff until you smoke yourself to death.
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait,

Oh, its a long long while
From May to December.
But the days grow short when you reach September.
And the autumn weather turns
The leaves to flames.
And I haven't got time
For the waiting games.
Oh the days dwindle down
To a precious few.
September......November.
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you.
These golden days

(Here's a happy tune)
A happy tune
(You'll love to croon)
You'll love to croon
(They call it Dean's song)
Hey, you don't seem to understand
(Catchy as can be)
I must agree
(The melody)
The melody
(They call it Dean's song)
Looks like I'm gonna
Have to explain this thing
You don't dig this scene
I'm saying, Dean
The song is Sam's song
(Sam, you're just a ham)
But, Dean, here's the scam
The song was named after Sam
(Sam who) Sam Houston (ohh)
(May I say with pride
Where I reside
They call it Dean's song)
And that's quite a group
You have going for you
(There's no bigger choir that you
Could hire for singing Dean's song)
They make the Mormon Tabernacle
Sound like a trio
(Sam, it's plain to see
That you're put out with me)
Log on to Top40db.
No, I'm not just singing along
(Tell you what I'll do
Since I'm with you
We'll call it Clyde's song)
Clyde's song
(Here's a happy tune)
It's a sweet melody and I'm
Happy to say it was named
After me but he's calling it
(Clyde's song)
(Catchy as can be)
No, I don't like to beef
And I'm sorry to say
The man is a thief
Cause he's calling it
(Clyde's song)
(Nothing on your mind)
There's a lot on my mind
And I'm standing here
Saying you're being unkind
Cause you're calling it
(Clyde's song)
My Italian friend
We have reached the end
(We don't seem to blend)
(Sam, let's compromise)
Oh, I hear what you say
But by that do you mean
That you'll do it your way
And call it (Sam's song)
Did he say Sam's song
Let's give the ending a rhyme
(But don't nobody tell Clyde)
That the name of this song
(Is Sam's song)
It's not Irving's song
(Sam's song)
It's not even Mona's song
(Sam's song)
Only thing I know is
When this record comes out
It better have Sam's song on it
Or else you'll get a nasty letter
From Calhoun and a telephone call too
Hmm, I'm thinking you're starting

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Oh honey, though our friendship ceases from now on
And listen, if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all is my advice
We're parting, you go your way I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a kiss I hope that this brings lots of luck to you
And it makes no difference how I carry on
Remember, please don't talk about me when I'm gone
We're parting, you go your way I'll go mine
It's best that we do
And here's a kiss I hope that this brings lots of luck to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
Remember, please don't talk about me
Please don't talk about me

Once In a lifetime
Just once in a lifetime.
A man knows a moment.
One wonderful moment
When faith takes his hand.
And this is my moment.
My once in a lifetime.
When I can explore a new and exciting land.
For once in my lifetime,
I fell like a giant.
I sore like an eagle,
As though I had wings.
For this is my moment.
My destiny calls me.
And though It maybe just once in my lifetime,

Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set set me free oh lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me
I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
She's flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me
Well I'll bet she's not like me...

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
Its no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffics boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
Theres an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment wont be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you

My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little valentine, stay!

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like youll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, youll never get rid of me
Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, weve got us.
Me and my shadow
Were closer than pages that stick in a book
Were closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, youll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds ? ? ? ? ?
Me and my shadow
Were closer than smog when it clings to l.a.
Were closer than bobby is to j.f.k.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue
And when its sleeping time
Thats when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks dont chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy new year!
Me and my shadow
And now to repeat what I said at the start
Theyll need a large crowbar to break us apart
Were alone but far from blue
Before we get finished, well make the town roar
Well make all the late spots, and then a few more
Well wind up at jillys right after toots shore
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me!
Say frank?
What is it, sam?
Do me a favor?
What do you want, now?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time?
From the top?
No! from the ending!
Wonderful!
And while we are swinging, to mention a few
Well drop in at dannys, the little club too
But wind up at jillys, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(wow!)
For my shadow and me!
Frank?

(billy strayhorn)
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life...
From jazz and cocktails.
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distant gay traces
That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day...
Twelve o'clock tales.
Then you came along with your siren of song
To tempt me to madness!
I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me.
Ah yes! I was wrong...
Again,
I was wrong.
Life is lonely again,
And only last year everything seemed so sure.
Now life is awful again,
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore.
A week in paris will ease the bite of it,
All I care is to smile in spite of it.
I'll forget you, I will
While yet you are still burning inside my brain.
Romance is mush,
Stifling those who strive.
I'll live a lush life in some small dive...
And there I'll be, while I rot

(Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn)
Love me or leave me
Or let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely
Then happy with someone else
You might find the night time
The right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
For just reminiscin'
Regretting instead of forgetting
With somebody else
Now there'll be no one
Unless that someone is you, you, you
I intend to be independently blue, blue, blue
I want your love
But I don't want to borrow
Have it today, give it back tomorrow
Your love for my love

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The t'ings dat yo' li'ble
To read in de Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.
Li'l David was small, but oh my !

He fought Big Goliath
Who lay down an' dieth !

Well, it ain't necessarily so

Dey tells all you chillun

But it ain't necessarily so !
To get into Hebben
Don' snap for a sebben !
Live clean ! Don' have no fault !
Oh, I takes dat gospel
Whenever it's pos'ble,
But wid a grain of salt.
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years,
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years,
But who calls dat livin'
When no gal will give in
To no man what's nine hundred years ?
I'm preachin' dis sermon to show,
It ain't nece-ain't nece
Ain't nece-ain't nece

When lights are low my thoughts always go
To a far off land 'cross the sea
Amber moon and the sweet perfume
Of the mystic East call to me
In a Persian market place
Love and I came face to face
While the temple bells were ringing
Two hearts shared a sweet embrace
Like a dream she soon was gone
But her spell still lingers on
It was in a Persian market
I found love and lost my heart
(Orchestral Break)
Like a dream she soon was gone
But her spell still lingers on
It was in a Persian market
I found love and lost my heart
I found love and lost my heart
Sweee-oooo-eeeeeeeeee-oooo-eee-oooo
Weeeeee-ooooo-eeeeeeee-ooo-eeeee-ooooo

(Don't blame it on the children)
You know we read in the papers
And we hear on the air
Of killing and stealing
And crime everywhere
And we sigh and we say
As we notice the trend
This young generation
Where will it end
But can we be sure
That it's their fault alone
I mean, that maybe a
Part of it isn't our own
Are we less guilty
Who place in their way
Too many things
That lead them astray
Like too much money to spend
And too much idle time
Too many movies
The kind of passion and crime
Too many books, man
That are not even fit to be read
Too much evil in what they hear said
And too many children
Encouraged to roam
By too many parents
Who won't even stay at home
(Don't blame it on the children)
Well, man, kids don't make the movies
And they don't write the books
And they don't go out
And paint gay pictures
Of gangsters and crooks
They don't make the liquor
And they don't run the bars
And they don't make the laws
And they don't buy the cars
They don't peddle junk that
Well, that addles the brain
That's all done by older folks, man
Greedy for gain
Delinquent teenagers, oh, man
How quick we do condemn
The sins of a nation
And then go and blame it on them
But the laws that are blameless
The Savior makes known
Now you tell me who is there
Among us to cast the first stone
For in so many cases
It's sad but it's true
That the title Delinquent
Fits older folks too
(Don't blame it on the children)
(Don't blame it on the children)

It's Christmas time all over the World
It's Christmas here at home
The church bells chime wherever we roam
Så riktig God Jul
Feliz Natal
Shenoraavor Nor Dari

To you
The snow is thick in most of the world
Childrens' eyes are wide
As old Saint Nick gets ready to ride
So Feliz Navidad
Sretan Bozic
And Happy New Year
New Year
To you
Though the customs might change
And the language is strange
This appeal we feel is real
In Holland or Hong Kong
It's Christmas time all over the World
In places near and far
And so my friend wherever you are
Ein fröhliches Weihnachten

This means a very Merry Christmas
Christmas, Christmas

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet

Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diffrent tune
One that they could croon
As only they can
They only had the rhythm
So they started swaying to and fro
They didnt know just what to use
That is how the blues really began
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start of the blues
And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail
And they played that
As part of the blues
From a whippoorwill
Out on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn
til it was worn
Into a blue note
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it
And gave out the news

(I really can't stay) But baby it's cold outside
(Got to go away) But baby it's cold outside
(This evening has been) Been hoping you'd drop in
(So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful watch you're wearing
(My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar
(So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful please don't hurry
(Well maybe just half a drink) Put some records on while I pour
(The neighbors might think) Baby it's bad out there
(Say what's in this drink) No cabs to be had out there
(I wish I knew how) Your eyes are like starlight now
(To break this spell) I'll take your hat your hair looks swell
(I ought to say no no) Mind if I move in closer
(At least I'm going to say I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride
(I really can't stay) Baby don't hold out
(Both) Baby it's cold outside
(I simply must go) Baby it's cold outside
(The answer is no) Baby it's cold outside
(The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in
(So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm
(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious
(My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore
(My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious
(But maybe just a cigarette) Never such a blizzard before
(I got to get home) But baby you'd freeze out there
(Say lend me a comb) It's up to your knees out there
(You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand
(But don't you see) How can you do this to me
(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow
(At least they'll be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died
(I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt
(Both) Baby it's cold

How lucky can one guy be?
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said,
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"
The room was completely black,
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said, quote,
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"
My head keeps spinnin',
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin',
my life is gonna be bee-yoo-tee-ful
I've sunshine enough to spread,
it's just like the fella said
Tell me quick, ain't love a kick in the head?
Like the fella once said,
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"
Like the sailor said, quote,
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"
My head keeps spinnin',
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin',
my life is gonna be bee-yoo-tee-ful
She's tellin' me we'll be wed,
she's picked out a king-size bed
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick
Tell me quick oh, ain't love a kick?
