You've gotta accent-tcu-ate the positive, eli-my-nate the negative, Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between. You gotta spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the minimum. Have faith or pandemonium's li'ble to walk upon the scene. To illustrate my last remark, Jonah in the whale, Noah in the Ark, What did theyou do just when everything looked so dark, Man, they said we better Accent-tchu-ate the positive, elim-my-nate the negative, Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between, Don't mess with Mister In-between.
The likes of you may never be attracted to the likes of me, But accidents will happen and I'll be around, And maybe there'll be no one else but me around. Forevermore may never start, you may ignore my hopeful heart, And chances are not the one to make you fall, But accidents will happen after all. A smile may show it, your eyes may glow Before you know it, I'm sure I'll know. So if you fall in just that way, oh wouldn't I be thrilled to hear you say I had a lovely accident today. Your eyes may glow, I'm sure I'll know.
Unaccustomed as I am to getting married, I am taking this occasion here to say That me and Adelaide are finally naming the day. Though she knows deep in her heart I'm a phoney and I'm a fake, She wants five children to start, Five's a difficult point to make, but.. Chorus: Adelaide, Adelaide, ever-loving Adelaide, Is taking a chance on me, Taking a chance I'll be respectable and nice, Give up cards and dice, and go for shoes and rice, So gentlemen, deal me out, do not try to feel me out, I got no more evenings free (you may scratch me) Since Adelaide, Adelaide, ever loving Adelaide Is taking a chance (talk about your long shot) Taking a chance on me.

This cannot be transcribed. It is a scat version of the song with Frank Sinatra and the wonderful Louis Armstrong. A SCAT is a form of music and lyrics in which the human voice becomes a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, as part of the orchestra, though it is usually made extempore as in a jam session. The best performances of this type was done by Ella Fitzgerald, especially in her rendition of Lady Is A Tramp.

Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest, all I need now is the girl Got my striped tie, got my hopes high Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm, Now all I need's the girl to go with'em
If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl And if she'll say "My, darling, I'm yours" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed All I really need is the girl

Today I may not have a thing at all except for just a dream or two But I've got lots of plans for tomorrow and all my tomorrows belong to you Right now it may not seem like spring at all, we're drifting and the laughs are few But I've got rainbows planned for tomorrow, and all my tomorrows belong to you No one knows better than I that luck keeps passing me by ... that's fate But with you there at my side, I'll soon be turning the tide ... just wait As long as I've got arms that cling at all, it's you that I'll be clinging to And all the dreams I dream, beg, or borrow on some bright tomorrow they'll all come true And all my bright tomorrows belong to you

All or nothin' at all Half a love never appealed to me If your heart, it never could yield to me Then I'd rather, rather have nothin' at all
I said all, nothin' at all If it's love, there ain't no in-between Why begin then cry for somethin' that might have been No I'd rather, rather have nothin' at all
Hey, please don't bring your lips close to my cheek Don't you smile or I'll be lost beyond recall The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak And my heart, it may grow very dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call I would be, be caught in the undertow Well, you see, I've got to say "No, no, no" All or nothin' at all
And if I fell, fell under the spell of your call Don't you know I would be caught in the undertow? So, you see, I just got to say "No, no" All or nothin' at all
You are the promised kiss of Springtime That makes the lonely winter seem long You are the breathless hush of evening That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

Some day my happy arms will hold you And some day I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine!
(You are the angel-glow that lights a star) The dearest things that I know are what you are

NOTE: some versions may include an intro:
Time and again I've longed for adventure Something to make my heart beat the faster What did I long for? I never really knew Finding your love I've found my adventure Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster All that I want in all of this world is you
Bluebirds, flowers Sunshine and showers Sunsets and rainbows On skies of red and blue Badges, whistles Rockets and missiles Puppies, kittens And penny candy too You make me feel so new Like carnivals and carousels Popsicles and wishing wells And I am so in love with you I can't believe it's true We're gonna make it all the way home
Magic potions, Incense and lotions Bells, books and candles Can make a witches' brew But I don't need witches Love spells or riches You are my treasure My fairy tale come true With you is where I'll stay All the time, anywhere Turn around, and I'll be there It was I, now it's we And I know it will be You and me, all the way home Me and you, all the way home.
You give me your lips and your lips are so heavenly, Stars in the sky are all free and they shine for me, So does the moon in the blue, all this is mine and heaven too. You give me your arms and your arms are like angel wings, Sweet to my ears is the song every bluebird sings, Each rosebud kissed by the dew, all this is mine and heaven too. I own each summer day, each mountain capped with snow, The sentimental breeze, the dreamy streams that flow, Every country lane and every street of stone Are highways of adventure made for me alone. You give me your love and your love is a melody, Deep in my heart I will carry this song with me, You bring a love so divine, all this is mine and heaven too.
All through the day I dream about the night I dream about the night here with you All through the day I wish away the time Until the time when I'm here with you
Down falls the sun, I run to meet you The evening mist melts away Down smiles the moon and soon your lips recall The kiss I dreamed of all through the day
Down falls the sun, I run to meet you The evening mist melts away Down smiles the moon and soon your lips recall The kiss I dreamed of all through the day
Every day, along about evening When the sunlight's beginning to pale I ride through the slumbering shadows Along the Navajo Trail When it's night and crickets are callin' And coyotes are makin' a wail I dream by a smoldering fire Along the Navajo Trail I love to lie and listen to the music When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' It always finds me wishin' on a star Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already There's the dawnin', so silver and pale It's time to climb into my saddle And ride the Navajo Trail
I love to lie and listen to the music When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' It always finds me wishin' on a star Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already There's the dawnin', so silver and pale (like a silvery veil) It's time to climb into my saddle And ride the Navajo Trail Ride the Navajo Trail Ride the Navajo Trail
Daisy is darling, Iris is sweet, Lily is lovely, Blossom's a treat Of all the sweethearts - a guy could meet, well I finally chose an American beauty rose Camelia's tragic, she can't be mine, Magnolia's magic, it makes Maggie shine Laurel will hug you, Orchid's divine, still I finally chose an American beauty rose She's clingier than Ivy, and she's zingier than black-eyed Susan And springier than Mabel in June I'm daffy as a daffodil, it's laughable the way I thrill when roses are in bloom. Pansy is pretty, Willow is tall, Violet's kisses, tulips (two lips) recall (Violet's kiss is Tulip's recall) How can I choose one, I love 'em all, Still I finally chose an American beauty rose
O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties above thy fruited plain! America, America, God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. (O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years) (Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears) America, America, God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
There's nothing left for me of days that used to be, I live in memory among my souvenirs. Some letters tied with blue, photograph or two, I see a rose from you among my souvenirs. A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest, And though they do their best to give me consolation, I count them all apart and as the teardrops start, I find a broken heart among my souvenirs. (a few bars) A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest, And though they do their best to give me consolation, I count them all apart and as the teardrops start, I find a broken heart among my souvenirs.
Amor, amor, amor, this word so sweet that I repeat means "I adore you" Amor, amor, my love, would you deny this heart that I have placed before you?
I can't find another word with meaning so clear My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear As this soft caressing word I know
Amor, amor, my love, when you're away there is no day and nights are lonely Amor, amor, my love, make life divine, say you'll be mine, and love me only
I can't find another word with meaning so clear My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear As this soft caressing word I know
Amor, amor, my love, when you're away there is no day and nights are lonely Amor, amor, my love, make life divine, say you'll be mine, and love me only
Hey drink up all you people And order anything you see Have fun you happy people The drink and the laugh's on me
Try to think that love's not around Still it's uncomfortably near My poor old heart ain't gainin' any ground Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old Devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say that my love's mispent Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all of you people Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The drink and the laugh's on me
Pardon me but I gotta run The fact's uncommonly clear I gotta find who's now the number one And why my angel eyes ain't here 'Scuse me while I disappear
Anything can make me happy, any little thing you'll do, You just have to raise your finger, and the stars will linger in the blue. When you turn your smile on, thrill just seems to pile on If I hear your laughter, tears can follow after. Anything will make me happy, just as long as you love me.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking, was looked on as something shocking Now heaven knows, anything goes. Good authors too who once knew better words Now only use four letter words writing prose Anything goes. The world has gone mad today, and good's bad today And black's white today. and day's night today When most guys today that women prize today, are just silly gigolos So though I'm not a great romancer, I know that you're bound to answer When I propose, anything goes
You could leave tomorrow, fly to Mandalay, darling I would love you anyway, I just couldn't help but care, anytime, anywhere. You can keep me waiting every single day, I'll be there to meet you anyway, You make life a love affair, anytime, anywhere. Why should I lie and pretend I don't belong to you, Why even try when it makes no difference what you do, I'll be true. Take my heart completely, treat me as you may, I am yours forever anyway, All I have is yours to share, anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
Anytime, anytime you want me, honey, just let me know. When you need affection, and you're looking for somewhere to go, I'll be home, 'round the house just waiting, waiting for your call. I mean anytime you want me, anytime at all. Don't be ashamed to let me know you love me, that's such a silly thing to do, 'Cause anytime, you call me, baby, I'll come running straight to you. I'll be there beside you even if I have to crawl, Anytime you want me, I'm saying, anytime at all. (I'll be there beside you even if I have to crawl,) Anytime you want me, I mean, anytime at all.
Anytime you need me babe, just call I'll be there Call and see what a good friend can be When you need someone to care Nothing more than understanding, just a man who's undemanding Like a leaf that's only landing suddenly goes when the wind gently blows And I'm asking nothing of you love, only what you want to give And I wish you what I wish myself, ss long as I may live Other arms will surely hold you, just remember the things that I told you When these arms of mine enfold you It's not out of greed but for love, and for need.
I love you so, I still do, I'm sure you know when I'm holding you The sad part of seeing you is goodbye Call and I'll come when your world's come undone I'm like you, I get lonely too, and I need someone to hold Knowing well this world can be hell and sometimes very cold
Nothing firm and nothing binding, now and then a slight reminding Waking up one day and finding somewhere to run, somewhere to run Somewhere to run when your world's come undone Oh babe, I'll be there, I'll be there anytime
There's a certain thing about you, summer, fall and spring about you I could write and sing about you, and never run out, never run out (no) Never run out of what you're all about Oh babe, I'll be there , I'll be there anytime
April played a fiddle, and my heart began to dance And I was so surprised to find my arms around romance. April played a fiddle and I memorized the tune And later on, a dream and I went singing to the moon. Then May began to gossip, and June just winked her eye, And you should have seen the know-it-all expression on July. April played a fiddle, ah but here's the funny part, I had to pay the fiddler with my one and only heart.
Though April showers may come your way They bring the flowers that bloom in May So if it's raining, have no regrets Because it isn't raining rain, you know It's raining violets
And when you see clouds upon the hills You soon will see crowds of daffodils So keep on looking for a bluebird and listening for his songs Whenever April showers come along.
(verse) do you make the most of your five senses, Or is your life like Old Mother Hubbard's shelf? Well, mark this on your slate, Life is not an empty plate. That's if you appreciate yourself.
(refrain) Ev'ry time you're near a rose, Aren't you glad you've got a nose? And if the dawn is fresh with dew, Aren't you glad you're you? When a meadowlark appears, Aren't you glad you've got two ears? And if your heart is singing, too, Aren't you glad you're you? You can see a summer sky, Or touch a friendly hand, Or taste an apple pie. Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand? And when you wake up each morn, Aren't you glad that you were born? Think what you've got the whole day through, Aren't you glad you're you?
Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight, are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a bright summer day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart. Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare Do you gaze at your doorstep, and picture me there Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
Around the world I've searched for you I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow You'd look at me and I would see the smile you're smiling now
It might have been in County Down Or in New York, in gay Paree , or even London town No more will I go all around the world For I have found my world in you
It might have been in County Down Or in New York, in gay Paree , or even London town No more will I go all around the world For I have found my world in you
As long as there's music and words of romance The spell of a theme starts you to dream there's always a chance As long as there's music, whatever the song
As long as there's music for sweethearts to sing I'll sing you, my love, melodies of the birds on the wing My loneliest days will never seem long As long as there's music and you are the song
As long as there's music for sweethearts to sing I'll sing you, my love, melodies of the birds on the wing My loneliest days will never seem long As long as there's music and you are the song
As you desire me, so shall I come to you, Howe'er you wander, so shall I be, Be it forever, or be it just a day, As you desire me, come what may. I doubt not but you will do what you will with me, I give my life to you 'cause you're my destiny. And now, come take me, my soul is yours. As you desire me, I come to you. And now, come take me, my very soul is yours, As you desire me, I come to you. Transcribed by Larry Henares of the Philippines
Is it an earthquake or simply a shock? Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock? Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy? Or is what I feel the real McCoy?
Is it for all time or simply a lark? Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park? Is it a fancy not worth thinking of? Or is it at long last love?

Sunbeams are gently fading, slowly fading, And birds are waiting to do their mating, When eventide is nigh, moonbeams are descending, The day is ending, a happy ending, The sun is sinking below the western sky. Chorus: Every little breeze is sighing of love at sundown, Every little bird is resting and feather nesting at sundown. Each little rosebud is sleeping, while shadows are creeping, In a little cottage cozy the world seems rosy at sundown Where a loving smile will greet me and always meet me at sundown. I seem to sigh, I'm in heaven, When night is falling and love is calling me home.
Daydreams through fields of clover, will soon be over, And happy hours 'mid sunny flowers will wait another day, Sweet dreams have just begun, dear, the day is done, dear, When skies grow dimmer, And stars will glimmer along the starlit way. Chorus: Every little breeze is sighing of love undying at sundown, Every little bird is resting and feather nesting at sundown. Each little rosebud is sleeping, while shadows are creeping, In a little cottage cozy the world seems rosy at sundown Where a loving smile will greet me and always meet me at sundown. I seem to sigh, I'm in heaven, When night is falling and love is calling me home.
The falling leaves drift by the window, the autumn leaves ff red and gold, I see your lips, the summer kisses, the sunburned hands, I used to hold. Since you went away, the days grow long, and soon I'll hear old winter's song But I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall
Anytime you call, I'm so available, anytime you call, (Anytime, anytime) Anytime at all, I'm so available, anytime at all. (Anytime, anytime) Don't have to bring a cake or a band home, You don't have to phone ahead. Make no mistake, I'm still the old standby, I am as you might guess, at the old address, Chances are that you are unassailable and that we are through. (Chances are, chances are) But what can I do, I'm still available, just like the first evening star, You can trust that I'll be there, summer, spring or fall, I'm in love and available, anytime at all. (But what could I do, I'm still available, like the first evening star) You can trust that I'll be there, summer, spring or fall, I'm in love and available, anytime at all.
Ev'ry morning mem'ries stray, Across the sea where flying fishes play, And as the night is falling I find that I'm recalling That blissful all enthralling day Just before I sailed away, She said the word I longed to hear her say, I tenderly caressed her Close to my heart I pressed her Upon that golden yesterday.
I found my love in Avalon beside the bay, I left my love in Avalon and sailed away. I dream of her and Avalon, from dusk till dawn And so I think I'll travel on To Avalon.

Gone and got the blues in Paris, Paris blues called Azure-Te, How can I be blue in Paris? Easy 'cause you're far away. Can't lose these blues, this Azure-Te. Side-walk tables filled with people, Always happy, always gay, Still I'm all alone in Paris, Praying you'll return someday, Can't lose this blues, this Azure-Te
Montmarte, springtime, Eiffel Tower, Funny taxis, the kids at play, Paris without you is lonesome, Yearning more and more each day, Can't lose these blues, this Azure-Te, If you knew how much I need you, You'd come back to me to stay, Having you with me in Paris, Really is the only way, You'd lose these blues, this Azure-Te These Paris blues, this Azure-Te.
A time for gifts and giving And as the year draws to its close I think about my living The Christmas time when I was young, The magic and the wonder, But colors dull and candles dim, And dark my standing under O little Zachary, shining light You've set my soul to dreaming You've given back my joy in life And filled me with new meaning A Savior King was born that day, A baby just like you, And as the Magi came with gifts, I come with my gift too That peace on Earth fills up your time, That brotherhood surrounds you. That you may know the warmth of love, And wrap it all around you It's just a wish, a dream I'm told
Baby won't you please come home 'cause your daddy's all alone I have tried in vain, never no more to call your name When you left you broke my heart, because I never thought we'd part Every hour in the day you will hear me say: "Baby come home."

Most people live on a lonely island, Lost in the middle of a foggy sea. Most people long for another island, One where they know they would like to be.
Bali Ha'i May call you, Any night, Any day. In your heart You'll hear it call you: "Come away, Come away."
Bali Ha'i Will whisper On the wind Of the sea: "Here am I, Your special island! Come to me, Come to me."
"Someday you'll see me, Floating in the sunshine, My head sticking out >From a low-flying cloud; You'll hear me call you, Singing through the sunshine, Sweet and clear as can be, Come to me, Here am I, Come to me!"
Bali Ha'i, Will whisper On the wind Of the sea: "Here am I, Your special island! Come to me, Come to me."
Where there is sunrise, there is Barbara, only Barbara clothes that way, Where there is laughter, there is Barbara, always Barbara warm and gay. And when there's music, she is the song, the song I'm singing my whole life long. There's no one just like her, like Barbara, only Barbara is so rare. Wherever she is, I'll be there. There's no one just like her, like Barbara, only Barbara, she's so rare, Wherever she is, I'll be there.
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing-jing-a-ling-a Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads. Sparkles, spangles, my heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a Wearing baubles, bangles and beads. I glitter and gleam so, make somebody dream, So that someday he may buy me a ring, ring-a-ling-a I've heard that's where it leads, Wearing baubles, bangles and beads.
All the beautiful strangers who held me for a night, And fell down in the darkness on pillows soft and white, All the beautiful strangers, all in the afternoon, Who praised my flat little summer, and came back to my room, All the beautiful strangers, they spoiled me for a time, And they taught me neon's just as nice as afternoon sunshine.
Be careful, it's my heart, It's not my watch you're holding, it's my heart. It's not the note that I sent you that you quickly burn, It's not the book I lent you that you never return.
Remember, it's my heart, The heart with which so willingly I part It's yours to take, to keep or break, but please, before you start, Be careful, remember it's my heart.
Remember, It's my heart, This heart with which so willingly I part It's yours to take, to keep or break, but please, before you start, Be careful, be careful be careful it's my heart!
There's a garden, what a garden, only happy faces bloom there, And there's never any room there for a worry or a gloom there. Oh there's music, and there's dancing, and a lot of sweet romancing, When they play the polka, they all get in the swing.
Everytime they hear the oom-pah-pah, everybody fells so tra-la-la-la. They want to throw their cares away, they all go lad-de-ya-ya-yay. When they hear a rumble on the floor, it's the big surprise they're waiting for, And all the couples form a ring, for miles around you'll hear them sing.
Roll out the barrel, roll out the barrel of fun. Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run. Zing, boom, tararrel! Ring out the song of good cheer, Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang's all here
When they begin the beguine, it brings back the sound of music so tender, It brings back a night of tropical splendor, it brings back a memory ever green. I'm with you once more under the stars, and down by the shore an orchestra's playing Even the palms seem to be swaying, when they begin the beguine. To live it again is past all endeavor, except when that tune clutches my heart, And there we are, swearing to love forever, and promising never, never to part. What moments divine, what rapture serene, Till clouds come along to disperse the joys we had tasted, And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, I know but too well what they mean. So don't let them begin the beguine, let the love that was once a fire remain an ember; Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember when they begin the beguine. Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play, Till the stars that were there before return above you, Till you whisper to me once more, Darling, I love you! And we suddenly know what heaven we're in, when they begin the beguine When they begin the beguine.
It's not that easy bein' green, having to spend each day the color of the leaves When I think it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold Or something much more colorful like that It's not easy bein' green, it seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're Not standin' out like flashy sparkles on the water, or stars in the sky But green is the color of Spring, and green can be cool and friendly-like And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree When green is all there is to be, it could make you wonder why But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and it'll do fine It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be. And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree When green is all there is to be, it could make you wonder why But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and it'll do fine It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be
The bells, the bells, ringing everywhere for the sound of Christmas is in the air, The bells, the bells, from the steeple above, telling us it's the season of love, Ring out, let the tale be told that inspires the dream of the young and old, Love, love, let your hearts unfold, for the bells of Christmas are ringing. The bells, the bells, on a wintry night, with the friendly fire burning warm and bright, The bells, the bells, on the steeple above, telling us it's the season of love. Ring out, let the tale be told, that inspires the dream of the young and old, Love, love, let your hearts unfold, for the bells of Christmas are ringing. The bells, the bells, they've been here and now, to a world that almost forgotten how The bells, the bells, from the steeple above, telling us it's the season of love. Ring out, let the tale be told that inspires the dream of the young and old, Love, love, let your hearts unfold, for the bells of Christmas are ringing. The bells of Christmas are ringing.
I've tried to break the habit But somehow I just keep waking up alone. There's something deep inside me That refuses to believe you're really gone. And every night I fall asleep By your side of this great big double bed, Remembering that the worst you ever gave me Was the best I ever had. I know I should be sleeping Like a kitten in somebody else's arms, But I lie awake remembering all the ways We used to keep each other warm. I know that nothing's perfect but we came so close, How could it turned out bad? But even so the worst you ever gave me Was the best I ever had. How I missed your tender kisses And the gentle arms that used to hold me tight, Oh they say that all good things must end But endings always leave somebody sad. But I remember that the worst you ever gave me Was the best I ever had. I can't forget the worst you ever gave me Was the best I ever had.
The best of everything - that's (that is) what I wish you all The best of everything - a Rembrandt (hanging) on your (the) wall A yacht that wins you cups, skateboards with style and speed Show dogs or loving pups, the pride of the pound or the pedigreed I hope you win that prize - pass that blue ribbon test I hope your good keeps getting better - 'til your better's best With every wine you taste, with every song you sing By now you may have guest, I hope you get the best of everything
The moon belongs to everyone, The best things in life are free. The stars belong to everyone, They gleam there for you and me. The flowers in spring, the robins that sing, The moonbeams that shine, they're yours, they're mine. And love can come to everyone, The best things in life are free.
Hey now, take a mip mack mop, and a brim bram broom, And klim klam clean up the rim ram room Cause your bim bam baby`s coming home tonight. Get my flim flam slippers, and my easy chair, Run you flim flam fingers through my greasy hair, Then kiss me, baby, let me hold you tight. Been north and south and east and west, But even a honey bee needs some rest. When I get my jacket and my trousers pressed, I'll follow the swallow right back to my nest. Don't you wim wam worry if my train is late, On the shim sham shuttle on a frim fram freight, Cause your bim bam baby is coming home tonight.
Oh, they say some people long ago Were searching for a diff'rent tune, one that they could croon as only they can They only had the rhythm, so they started swayin' to and fro They didn't know just what to use, this is how the blues really began
They heard the breeze in the trees, singin' 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 a part of the blues
From a whippoorwill way upon a hill they took a new note Pushed it through a horn until it was worn into a blue note And then they nursed it, they rehearsed it and then sent out that news That the Southland gave birth to the blues
They nursed it, then they rehearsed it, and they sent out that news That the Southland, they gave birth to the blues
You were my adored one, Then you became the bored one, And I was like a toy that brought you joy one day, A broken toy that you preferred to throw away.
If I expected love when first we kissed, Blame it on my youth. If only just for you I did exist, Blame it on my youth. I believed in everything, Like a child of three. You meant more than anything, All the world to me. If you were on my mind both night and day, Blame it on my youth. If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray, Blame it on my youth. And if I cried a little bit when first I learned the truth, Don't blame it on my heart, Blame it on my youth.
Blue lace, her gown was blue lace, She wore the promise of springtime and laughter. Daybreak, we talked till daybreak Without a warning of what might come after. Her touch was velvet, I still can feel it That one brief moment that ended in space. Sometime in mid-December, I hear the music, the echo of springtime laughter, All day I see the old days, When I'd seen the young girls in blue, blue lace. Her gown was blue lace, such lovely blue lace, Her gown was blue.
Blue moon, you saw me standin' alone Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me sayin' a prayer for Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will hold I heard somebody whisper "please adore me" And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper "please adore me" And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own
We'll have a blue room, a new room-for-two room, Where everyday's a holiday because you're married to me. Not like a ballroom, a small room, a hall room, Where I can smoke my pipe away, with your wee head upon my knee. We will thrive on, keep alive on just nothing but kisses, With Mister and Missus on little blue chairs. You sew your trousseau and Robinson Crusoe Is not so far from worldly cares, As our blue room far away upstairs.
My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants My mama done tol' me, " Son a woman'll sweet talk" And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done A woman's a two-face, A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin, "Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' blues in the night The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' And the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues in the night Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song, He knows things are wrong, and he's right From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the four winds blow I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night My mama was right, there's blues in the night.

This is something new to me when you, ooh, coo to me. Ooh what you do to me, bop! Goes my heart. Lips as sweet as muscatel make me jingle like a bell, Then comes that dizzy spell, oh bop! Goes my heart. Jumping with rhythm and romance, lit up like a Christmas tree, Going around in circles, I ain't a square that I used to be. Something new to shout about, must be love without a doubt.

We walk on every city street We walk in lanes where branches meet And stars send down their blessings from the blue. We go through storms of doubt and fear And so we walk from year to year Believing in each other as we do. Bravely marching forward two by two...

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June We stood beneath an amber moon And softly murmured "Someday soon" We kissed and clung together
Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found me miles away With still a million things to say Now, when twilight dims the sky above Recalling thrills of our love There's one thing I'm certain of Return I will to old Brazil

Like the folks you meet on Like to plant my feet on the Brooklyn Bridge What a lovely view from Heaven looks at you from the Brooklyn Bridge
I love to listen to the wind through her strings The song that she sings for the town I love to look up at the clouds in her hair She's learned to wear like a crown
If you've been a rover Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge Don't let no one tell you I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge
All the folks in Manhattan are sad 'cause they look at her and wish they had The good old Brooklyn Bridge
If you've been a rover Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge Don't let no one tell you I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge
You'll miss her most when you roam `cause you'll think of her and think of home The good old Brooklyn Bridge
The world is full of people, but none like you, They're ordinary people, but none like you. How far away is yesterday before you came along. It seemed to be just a dream to me, until you proved here on. The lanes are full of lovers, but none like you, Just ordinary lovers, not dreams like you, I shut my eyes to realize this grand surprise is true, That I'm the lucky one who found you.
I shut my eyes to realize this grand surprise is true, That I'm the lucky one who found you.
They're writing songs of love - but not for me, a lucky star's above - but not for me With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play - can guarantee I was a fool to fall - and get this way; Hi ho alas and also lackaday Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss I guess she's not - she's not for me Old man sunshine - listen you never tell me dreams come true Just try it - and all start a riot Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare ever tell me she will care I'm certain - it's the final curtain I never want to here from any cheerful Polly-Anna's Who tell you fate supplies a mate - it's all bananas It all began so well - but what an end, this is the time - a fellow needs a friend When every happy plot, ends with a marriage knot And there's no knot, no (k)not for me
Listen, big boy, Now that you got me made, Goodness, but I'm afraid, Somethin's gonna happen to you! Listen, big boy, You gotta be hooked, and how, I would die if I should lose you now!
Button up your overcoat, When the wind is free, Take good care of yourself, You belong to me!
Eat an apple every day, Get to bed by three, Oh, take good care of yourself, You belong to me!
Bye bye baby, remember you're my baby When they give you the eye. Although I know that you care, won't you write and declare That though on the loose, you are still on the square. I'll be gloomy, but send that rainbow to me, Then my shadows will fly Though you'll be gone for a while, I know that I'll be smiling with my baby, by and by. (Bye, bye baby, so long!)

Pack up all my cares and woes, 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, I'll arrive late tonight, blackbird bye, bye.
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising. She'll find the note I left hanging on her door. She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving `Cause I've left that girl so many times before. By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working. She'll probably stop for lunch and give me a call. But she'll just hear the phone keep on ringing, on the wall, that's all. By the time I reach Oklahoma she'll be sleeping. She'll turn softly and call my name out low. And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her, Though time and time again I tried to tell her so. She just didn't know I would really go.
I've known her valleys, I've known her mountains Her missions and her courtyards and her fountains The giant redwoods towering in the skies of her That grow as though as they know they show the size of her
I've often wandered her farthest reaches Her deserts and her snow and, yes, her beaches A land that paradise could well be jealous of That's California, California, blessed by heaven from above That's California, land I love

Call me irresponsible - call me unreliable, throw in undependable too Do my foolish alibis bore you, well I'm not too clever - I just adore you Call me unpredictable - tell me I'm impractical, rainbows I'm inclined to pursue Call me irresponsible - yes I'm unreliable, But it's undeniably true - I'm irresponsibly mad for you
Just a melancholy echo ling'ring when the day is through, It's the call of the canyon, once again I'm dreaming of you. Every night I search the moonlight up and down the river shore, It's the call of the canyon, maybe I will find you once more. Standing there alone by the ashes of the fire we said would never die, Will I ever find an ember burning from the days gone by. Then I hear a lonely whisper as a little spark I see, It's the call of the canyon, bringing back your answer to me.

And I can't get out of this mood, can't get over this feeling Can't get out of this mood, last night your lips were too appealing The thrill should have been all gone by today in the usual way But it's only your arms I'm out of.

I took each word she said as gospel truth the way a silly little child would. I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth, I was no babe in the wild, wild wood. She didn't mean it, I should have seen it, but now it's too late.
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams, now it seems, this is how the story ends: She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?" I thought for once it couldn't go wrong, not for long, I can see the way this ends: She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?" Why should I care though she gave me the air, Why should I cry, heave a sigh, and wonder why, and wonder why? I thought I found the gal I could trust, watta bust, this is how the story ends: She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be just friends?"
Can't you just see yourself in a gingham gown, Little pink ribbons tied in your hair, Sitting there by my side when we ride through town, Folks'll turn around, oh how they'll tell. Can't you just see yourself on a porch with me, Watching a show that stars give for free. One little word can do it, so say the word And we'll have dozens of chicks, a house in the sticks, Where people are glad to be known as hicks, Can't you just see yourself in love with me?

I let my heart fall into careless hands Careless hands broke my heart in two You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through I brought you joy And girl I loved you so But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow If you don't change Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands That can't hold onto love

I let my heart fall into careless hands, Careless hands broke my heart in two, You held my dreams like worthless dreams
I met her dancing to the Castle Rock, I held her tight and danced around the clock We rocked to romance to the Castle Rock, She kissed me and I kissed my heart goodbye. I felt like I was drifting `cross the sky. We rocked to heaven to the Castle Rock. Music was soft and low, setting me all aglow, Holding it to my heart, how could I dream we'd part. Suddenly she was gone, leaving me dreaming on, Now everytime they play the Castle Rock, I'll take myself a walk around the block. Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock. (Go get em, Harry [James], for old time's sake)
I'm mad at dancing to the Castle Rock, I held her tight and danced around the clock. We rocked to romance to the Castle Rock. Now everytime they play the Castle Rock, I'll take myself a walk around the block, Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock. Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock.
Catana, what goddess gave you the name That has this heart of mine so aflame? Tell me, Catana, what heaven gave you your eyes? What elfin fiddler plays for your sighs? Fashioned of Venus, that is your form and your face, Two clinging vines for arms, hold me in tender embrace. While the mood poses from lips made of roses, Each word opposes all else but love, Catana, like a Madonna, you I'll adore forevermore.

When love comes in and takes you for a spin, Oo la la la, c'est magnifique. When every night, your loved one holds you tight, Oo la la la, c'est magnifique. But when one day, your loved one drifts away, Oo la la la, it is so tragique. But when once more she whispers "Je t'adore,:c'est magnifique.
Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man? You have danced with him since the music began. Won't you change partners and dance with me? Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face? Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place? Won't you change partners and dance with me? Ask him to sit this one out. while you're alone, I'll tell the waiter to tell him he's wanted on the telephone. You've been locked in his arms ever since heaven-knows-when. Won't you change partners and then, You may never want to change partners again.

The charm of you is comparable to a Christmas tree with toys, With little girls and boys when first they see the tree. The thrill of you is comparable the thrill I felt when I first learned the heart could sigh, And you were the reason why, and yet, and yet if we two have never met, I'd know your grace that warms a face that only the angels get, and So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do, Because they add up to the charm of you. (musical interlude) So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do. Because they add up to the charm of you.

Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek, when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven, and the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb a mountain and reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to go out fishing in a river or a creek But I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek (Come on and) Dance with me, I want my arm(s) about you That (Those) charm(s) about you will carry me through... (Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging) Out together dancing cheek to cheek

I'm doing my Christmas dreaming a little early this year, no sign of snow around; And yet I go around hearing jingle bells ringing in my ear, Your promise must be the reason, the happy season is here; So I'm doing my Christmas dreaming a little early this year
Singing carols, stringing popcorn, making footprints in the snow, Memories, Christmas memories, they're the sweetest ones I know. Cookies taking in the kitchen, calls in rhythm everywhere, Proxies, Christmas memories, float like snowflakes in the air. Oh the joy of waking Christmas mornings, the family round the tree, We had a way of making Christmas morning as merry as can be, I close my eyes and see shining faces Of all the children who now have children of their own Funny, but comes December, and I remember every Christmas I've known.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows some 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 on 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 phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although its been said Many times, many ways Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to.. You!
Frosted window panes, 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 for 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 the same thing, too
(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 the same thing, too
When the moon hangs low in Napoli, there's a handsome gondolier, Every night he sings so happily, so his lady love can hear. In a manner oh gravissimo, he repeats his serenade, And his heart beats so fortissimo, when she raises her Venetian shade. Ciribiribin, chiribiribin, ciribiribin.
Ciribiribin, he waits for her each night beneath her balcony. Ciribiribin, he begs to hold her tight, but no, she won't agree. Ciribiribin, she throws a rose and blows a kiss from up above, Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love. (musical interlude) Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love.
Each morning the missionary advertises on the neon sign, It tells the native population that civilization is fine. And pre-educated savages holler from the bamboo tree That civilization is not for me to see.
Chorus: Oh bongo bongo bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo oh no, no, no, no, no, Bingle bangle bongle, I don't wanna leave jungle, I refuse to go. I don't want landlords, junkyard, cocktails, caviar, I'll make it clear that no matter how they coax me, I'll stay right here.
I looked through a magazine a missionary's wife concealed. I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobile. When they have two weeks' vacation, they hurry to vacation grounds, They swim and they fish, but that's what I do all year round.
Chorus: Oh bongo bongo bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo oh no, no, no, no, no, Bingle bangle bongle, I don't wanna leave jungle, I refuse to go. I don't want landlords, junkyard, cocktails, caviar, I'll make it clear that no matter how they coax me, I'll stay right here.
They have things like the atom bomb, So I think I'll stay here where I am, Civilization, I'll stay here.
Close to you, I will always stay. Close to you, though you're far away.
You'll always be near as though you were here by my side. No matter where - in my dreams I'll find you there Close to me, sharing you're caress. Can't you see you're my happiness?
Wherever you go, my heart will go, too. What can I do? It only wants to be close to you.
(Musical interlude)
Wherever you go, my heart will go, too. What can I do? It only wants to be close to you.
Way down among Brazilians Coffee beans grow by the billions So they've got to find those extra cups to fill They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You can't get cherry soda 'cause they've got to fill that quota And the way things are I'll bet they never will They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
No tea or tomato juice You'll see no potato juice 'cause the planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no"
The politician's daughter Was accused of drinkin' water And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You date a girl and find out later She smells just like a percolator Her perfume was made right on the grill Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
And when their ham and eggs need savor Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor Coffee pickles way outsell the dill Why, they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
No tea, no tomato juice You'll see no potato juice The planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no"<<<
So you'll add to the local color Serving coffee with a cruller Dunkin' doesn't take a lot of skill They've got an awful lot of coffee An awful lot of coffee Man, they got a gang of coffee in Brazil!!
Guarda il mare com'e bello! Spira tanto sentimento. Come il tuo soave accento, che me desto fa sognar. Senti come illeve salle, dai giardini odor d'aranci, Un perfumo non v'ha eguale per chi palpita d'amore. E tu dicro parto addio, T'allontani dal mio core, questa terra del amore, hai la forza di lasciar. Ma non mi fuggir, non dar mi piu tormento, torna a Sorrento non farmi morir
Make like a Mister Milquetoast and you'll get shut out, Make like a Mister Meek and you'll get cut out, Make like a little lamb, and wham, you're shorn, I tell ya, chum, it's time to come blow your horn.
Make like a Mister Mumbles and you're a zero, Make like a Mister Big; they dig a hero. You've got to sound your "A" the day you're born, I tell ya, chum, it's time to come blow your horn.
The taller the tree is the sweeter the peach, I'll give you the whole maguilla in a one word speach: Reach!
Make like the world's your pudding, but light the brandy, Even the mildest kiss is a dan, dan, dandy, There'll be no love in bloom come doomsday morn, I tell ya, chum, it's time to come blow your horn.
In civilized jungles females adore The lions who come on swingin'; if you wanna score - roar!
You can be either read to or be the reader, You can be either lead or be the leader. Don't wait until you're told you're old and worn, Take in some air and get your lips puckered, Before you find you're simply too tuckered, I'll tell ya, chum, it's time to come blow your horn.
Blow your horn, I tell ya, chum, it's time to come blow your horn.

I always say, comme ci comme ca,* And go my way, comme ci comme ca, Since you are gone, nothing excites me. Since you are gone, no one delights me. And I go on, comme ci comme ca, Midnight till dawn, comme ci comme ca, But should we meet, that would excite me, And should you smile, that would delight me, I'd live again to love again, But until then, comme ci comme ca.

But should we meet, that would excite me, And should you smile, that would delight me, I'd live again to love again, But until then, comme ci comme ca.
It's something daring, the Continental A way of dancing that's really ultra-new It's very subtle, the Continental Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the Continental An invitation to moonlight and romance It's quite the fashion, the Continental Because you tell of your love while you dance
You kiss while you're dancing It's continental, ooh, it's continental You sing while you're dancing Your voice is gentle and so sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through That you're in love with her and she's in love with you You'll find while you're dancin' That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul A certain rhythm that you can't control And you will do the Continental all the time
You'll find while you're dancin' That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul A certain rhythm that you can't control And you will do the Continental all the time
A little dream castle, with every dream gone Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn And my heart is heavy, as I gaze upon a cottage for sale. The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay A beautiful garden has withered away Where you planted roses, the weeds seem to say, A cottage for sale From every single window, I see your face But when I reach the window, there's empty space The key's in the mailbox, the same as before But no one is waiting for me anymore The end of our story is there on the door, A cottage for sale
Could'ya, for an ice cream sundae? Could'ya, for a smile or two? Would'ya, say along about next Monday, keep a guy from feeling blue? Could'ya, for big red apple? Could'ya, for a tootsie roll? Would'ya, for some Philadelphia truffle, brighten up some lonely soul? I don't wanna have the stars in the pocket, or ride a rocket to the moon. I just want what I want when I see what I want, and I hope I get it soon. Could'ya, for a peaceful valley? Could'ya, for the Zuyder Zee? Would'ya for a honeymoon in Bali? Could'ya fall in love with me? Baby, could'ya, would'ya take a chance on romance, Couldya, for a ripe tomato? Could'ya, for a place that's in? Would'ya, for a bowl of sweet potato? Could'ya, for a leopard skin? Could'ya, for a bright red tulip? Could'ya, for a ferris wheel? Would'ya for Kentucky plate of juleps? Could'ya, for a home cooked meal? I don't wanna have the stars in the pocket, or ride a rocket to the moon. I just want what I want when I see what I want, hope I get it soon. Could'ya, for a peaceful valley? Could'ya, for the Zuyder Zee? Would'ya, for a honeymoon in Bali? Would'ya, should'ya, could'ya fall in love with me?

You can count on me, you can count on me. As the adding machine once said, you can count on me. Two four six eight, who do we appreciate? You can count on me.
Lullaby and good night, with roses bestride, With lilies bedecked. 'neath Baby's sweet bed. May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest. May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest.
Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight. Bright angels around, my darling, shall guard. They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms. They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms.
(and these are the original words of Brahms in German)
Guten Abend, gut' nacht! Mit Rosen bedacht, Mit N・lein besteckt schl}f unter die Deck'! Morgen Fr”, wenn Got will, wirst du wieder geweckt, Morgen Fr”, wenn Got will, wirst du wieder geweckt,
Guten Abend, gut' nacht! Von Englein bewacht, Die zeigen in Traum, dir Christkindlein's baum. Schlaf' num selig und suss, schau' in Traum's Paradies, Schlaf' num selig und suss, schau' in Traum's Paradies.
Good evening, good night, covered with roses, With tiny fingernails hidden, slipping under the blankets, Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again. Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again.
God evening, good night, watched over by tiny angels, Who show the little Christ Child's tree in dreams, Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream's paradise. Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream's paradise.
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely. I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue. I know you'd love me as long as you want me, Then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new Worry, why should I let myself worry? Wond'ring what in the world did I do-o-o-o? I'm crazy, for thinking that my love could hold you. I'm crazy for trying and I'm crazy for crying, And I'm crazy for loving you. Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying And I'm crazy for loving you.
Crazy love, people say I'm crazy in love. Just a fool, sighing sighs to the skies up above It isn't normal or real, to feel heaven's right inside your door. But somehow that's how I feel, and I've never felt this way before. Crazy dreams, keep me clinging to this affair. I'm insane to keep dreaming that you could care. But I am a kind of a fool who stayed after school. I've learned my lessons well, And if this crazy love is such a crazy love, I'm glad I fell.
You made me what I am today, I hope you're satisfied, You dragged and dragged me down until the soul within me died. You've shattered each and every dream, fooled me right from the start. And though you're not true, may God bless you, That's the curse of an aching heart. (musical interlude) You made me what I am today, I should hope you're satisfied, You dragged, you dragged me down until the soul within me died. You've shattered each and every dream, you fooled me right from the start. And although you're not true, may God bless you, That's the curse of an aching heart.
So I'm down and so I'm out, but so are many others So I feel like tryin' to hide my head 'neath these covers Life is like the seasons after winter comes the spring So I'll keep this smile awhile, and see what tomorrow brings I've been told and I believe that life is meant for livin' And even when my chips are low, there's still some left for givin' I've been many places maybe not as far as you So I think I'll stay awhile, and see if some dreams come true There isn't much that I have learned through all my foolish years Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles, first there's laughter, then those tears But I'll keep my head up high although I'm kinda tired My gal just up and left last week, Friday I got fired You know it's almost funny, but things can't get worse than now So I'll keep on tryin' to sing, but please, just don't ask me how
Dames ! (repeated 11 times) What do I care for a dame? What do I care for a dame? Every old dame is the same. Every hooky dame is the same. I got a future, a rosy future, You can be sure I'll be tops. I'm independent, I'm no dependent, And I own a nightclub that's tops I'll be in with the cops. What do I care for the skirts? What do I care for the skirts? I'll make `em pay till it hurts. Let them put up till it hurts. I'm gonna own a nightclub, It's gonna be the right club. For the swell gentry, it's elementary, I'll wear a top hat and a cape. Let's play, shall we? Let's play, shall we? Their game, shall we? I can see it plain.
Dance, ballerina, dance And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart Dance, ballerina, dance You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part Whirl, ballerina, whirl And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row This is your moment, girl Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show Once you said his love must wait its turn You wanted fame instead I guess that's your concern We live and learn And love is gone, ballerina, gone So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance Dance on and on and on A thousand people here have come to see the show As 'round and 'round you go So ballerina, dance Dance, dance!

Dancin' in the dark 'til the tune ends We're dancin' in the dark and it soon ends We're waltzin' in the wonder of why we're here Time hurries by, we're here, and we're gone
Lookin' for the light of a new love To brighten up the night, I have you love And we can face the music together Dancing in the dark
What though love is old What though song is old Through them we can be young Hear this heart of mine Wailin' all the time Dear one, tell me that we're one
Lookin' for the light of a new love To brighten up the night I have you love And we can face the music together Dancin' in the dark Dancin' in the dark Dancin' in the dark
The world is lyrical, because a miracle has brought my lover to me Though she's some other place, her face I see At night I creep in bed, and never sleep in bed But look above in the air, and to my greatest joy, my love is there She dances overhead on the ceiling near my bed In my sight, all through the night I try to hide in vain underneath my counterpane But there's my love up there above I whisper, "Go away, my lover, it's not fair" But I'm so grateful to discover, that she's still there I love my ceiling more, since it is a dancing floor, just for my love
All day tomorrow I'll be whispering your name And the day after forever I know I'll do the same May-time or winter I won't let you out of sight And the day after forever we'll talk about tonight
Your laughter is a melody that I'll remember long It plays upon my heartstrings, it's my fav'rite song
All through a lifetime I'll be loving you and then On the day after forever I'll just begin again
