ABA DABA HONEYMOON

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Said the Chimpie to the Monk,

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Said the Monkey to the Chimp.

All night long they'd chatter a way, All day long they were happy and gay,

Swinging and singing in their honky, tonkey way.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," means Monk I love but you,"

"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk, means "Chimp, I love you too,"

Then the big baboon, one night in June, he married them, and very soon

They went upon their aba, daba, honeymoon.

ABI GEZUNT

A bisl zun, a bisl regn, a ruik ort dem kop tzu legen, abi gezunt, ken men gliklekh zayn.

A shukh, a zok, a kleyd on lates, in keshene a dray, fir zlotes, abi gezunt, ken men gliklekh zayn

Di luft iz fray far yedn glaykh, di zun zi shaynt far yedn eynem orem oder raykh

A bisl freyd, a bisl lakhn, a mol mit fraynt a shnepsl makhn, abi gezunt, ken men gliklekh zayn.

Zoln ale zukhn, zoln ale krikhn, nor ikh trakht bay mir

A bisl zun, a bisl regn, a ruik ort dem kop tzu legen, abi gezunt, ken men gliklekh zayn.

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE

Youve got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative, dont mess with Mr. In Between.

Youve got to spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the minimumHave faith or pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate my last remark, Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark

What did they do, after everything looked so dark, looked so dark, Man, they said:

Youve got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative, dont mess with Mr. In Between, no,

Dont mess with Mr. In Between, no, dont mess with Mr. In Between.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY

Ba da da doom

They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky

They're all together ooky, the Addams Family

Their house is a museum, when people come to see-em

They really are a scre-um the Addams Family

Ba da da doom

So get a witch's shawl on, a broomstick you can crawl on

We're going to make a call on the Addams Family

AFTER THE BALL

After the ball is over, after the break of morn.

After the dancers' leaving, after the stars are gone.

Many a heart is aching, if you could read them all.

Many the hopes that have vanished, after the ball

AFTER YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT, YOU DON'T WANT-Irving Berlin

Listen to me, honey dear, something's wrong with you, I fear

It's getting harder to please you, harder and harder each year

I don't want to make you blue, but you need a talking to

Like a lot of people I know, here's what's wrong with you

After you get what you want, you don't want it

If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon.

You're like a baby, you want what you want when you want it.

But after you are presented with what you want, you're discontented

You're always wishing and wanting for something

When you get what you want, you don't want what you get

And though I sit upon your knee, you'll grow tired of me,

'Cause after you get what you want, you don't want what you wanted at all.

Don't you say that I'm unkind, think it over and you'll find

You've got a changeable nature, you're always changing your mind

There's a longing in your eye, that is hard to satisfy

You're unhappy most of the time, here's the reason why

After you get what you want, you don't want it

If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon.

And though I sit upon your knee, you'll grow tired of me,

'Cause after you get what you want, you don't want what you wanted at all.

AFTER YOU'VE GONE

Now won't you listen, honey, while I say, "How could you tell me that you're going away?"

Don't say that we must part. Don't break your baby's heart.

You know I've loved you for these many years, loved you night and day

Oh, honey, baby, won't you see my tears? Listen while I say......

After you've gone, and left me crying; After you've gone, there's no denying

You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad, you'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it. There'll come a time when you'll regret it

Some day when you grow lonely, your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only

After you've gone, after you've gone away.

After I'm gone, after we break up; after I'm gone, you're gonna wake up

You will find, you were blind to let somebody come and change your mind.

After the years we've been together, their joy and tears, all kinds of weather.

Some day, blue and down hearted, you'll long to be with me right back where you started

After I'm gone, after I'm gone away.

AINT MISBEHAVIN

No one to talk with, all by myself, no one to walk with, but Im happy on the shelf,

Aint misbehavin Im savin my love for you

I know for certain the one I love, Im through with flirtin its just you Im thinkin of

Aint misbehavin Im savin my love for you

Like Jack Horner in the corner, dont go nowhere, what do I care?

Your kisses are worth waitin for, believe me

I dont stay out late, dont care to go, Im home about eight, just me and my radio

Aint misbehavin Im savin my love for you.

AINT SHE SWEET

Aint she sweet? See her coming down the street. Now I ask you very confidentially, aint she sweet?

Aint she nice? Look her over once or twice. Now I ask you very confidentially, aint she nice?

Just cast an eye in her direction. Oh, me! Oh, my! Aint that perfection?

I repeat, dont you think thats kind of neat? And I ask you very confidentially, aint she sweet?

AIN'T THAT A KICK IN THE HEADHow lucky can one guy be? I kissed her and she kissed me

Like a fella once said "Ain't that a kick in the head?"

The room was completely black, I hugged her and she hugged back

Like a 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.... beautiful

1. I've sunshine enough to spread, It's just like the fella said

"Tell me quick, ain't that a kick in the head?" (repeat the song)

2.She's tellin' me we'll be wed..She's picked out a king sized bed

I couldn't feel any better or I'll be sick. Tell me quick...ain't that a kick

Tell me quick, ain't that a kick in the head. Tell me quick, ain't that a kick in the head.

AINT WE GOT FUN?

Every mornin, every evenin, aint we got fun? Not much money, oh, but honey, aint we got fun?

The rents unpaid, dear, we havent a car, but anyway, dear, well stay as we are.

Even if we owe the grocer, dont we have fun? Tax collectors getting closer, still we have fun.

Theres nothing surer, the rich get rich and the poor get poorer.

In the meantime, in between time, aint we got fun?

THE AIR THAT I BREATHE

If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass, can't think of anything I need.

No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound, nothing to eat, no books to read.

Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm and tired.

What more could I ask? There's nothing left to be desired.

Peace came upon me, and in peace we weep, so sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you.

All I need is the air that I breathe, and to love you. All I need is the air that I breathe

ALBUQUERQUE IS A TURKEY

Albuquerque is a turkey, and hes feathered and hes fine,

Albuquerque is a turkey, and hes absolutely mine.

Hes the best pet you can get yet, better than a dog or cat,

And he wobbles and he gobbles, and hes awfully proud of that.

Albuquerque is a turkey, and hes happy in his bed,

Because for Thanksgiving dinner, we eat egg foo yung instead!

ALEXANDERS RAGTIME BAND

Come on and hear, come on and hear Alexanders Ragtime Band

Come on and hear, come on and hear, its the best band in the land

They can play a bugle call like you never heard before

So natural that you want to go to war

That is the bestest band what am my honey lamb

Come on along, come on along, let me take you by the hand

Up to the man, up to the man whos the leader of the band

And if you care to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime

Come on and hear, come on and hear Alexanders Ragtime Band.

ALL BY MYSELF

I'm so unhappy, what'll I do, I long for somebody who will sympathize with me

I'm growing so tired of living alone, I lie awake all night and cry

Nobody loves me, that's why.

All by myself, in the morning, all by myself in the night I sit alone with a table and a chair, so unhappy there, playing solitaire All by myself, I get lonely, watching the clock on the shelf

I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder

I hate to grow older all by myself!ALL I DO IS DREAM OF YOU

All I do is dream of you the whole night through. With the dawn I still go on and dream of you

You're every thought, you're everything, you're every song I ever sing

Summer, winter, autumn and spring.

And were there more than twenty-four hours a day, they'd be spent in sweet content, dreaming away.

When skies are grey, when skies are blue, morning, noon and nighttime too,

All I do the whole day through is dream of you.

All I do is dream of you the whole night through. With the dawn I still go on and dream of you

You're every thought, you're everything, you're every song I ever sing

All I do the whole day through is dream of you

All I do the whole day through is dream of you.

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM

Dreeeeeam, dream, dream, dream, dreeeeam, dream, dream, dream. When I want you in my arms, when I want you and all your charms

Whenever I want you all I have to do is dreeeeam, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night and I need you to hold me tight,

Whenever I want you all I have to do is dreeeeeeeeam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine anytime, night or day

Only trouble is gee whiz, Im dreaming my life a-way

I need you so that I could die, I love you so and that is why

Whenever I want you all I have to do is dreeeeam (Repeat last 4 lines)

ALL I NEED IS THE GIRLOnce my clothes were shabby, tailors called me Cabbie.

So I took a vow, said this bum'll be Beau Brummel Now I'm smooth and snappy, now my tailor's happyI'm the cat's meow, my wardrobe is a wow!

Paris silk, Haris tweed

There's only one thing I need

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

ALL MY LIFE'S A CIRCLE

All my life's a circle, sunrise and sundown;

The moon rolls thru the nighttime till the daybreak comes around.

All my life's a circle but I can't tell you why;

The seasons spinning 'round again, the years keep rollin' by.It seems like I've been here before, I can't remember when;But I have this funny feeling that we'll all be together again.There's no straight lines make up my life and all my roads have bends;There's no clear-cut beginnings and so far no dead-ends.

Chorus:I found you a thousand times, I guess you done the same;But then we lose each other, it's like a children's game;

As I find you here again a thought runs through my mind;Our love is like a circle, let's go 'round one more time.

Chorus

ALL MY LOVING

Close your eyes and Ill kiss you, tomorrow Ill miss you, remember Ill always be true

And then while Im away Ill write home every day, and Ill send all my loving to you

Ill pretend that Im kissing the lips I am missing, and hope that my dreams will come true

And then while Im away Ill write home every day, and Ill send all my loving to you

All my loving I will send to you

All my loving, darling, Ill be true.

ALL OF ME

All of me, why not take all of me? Cant you see Im no good without you?

Take my lips, I want to lose them. Take my arms, Ill never use them.

Your good-byes left me with eyes that cry. How can I go on without you?

You took the part that once was my heart, so why not take all of me?

ALL OF YOU

I love the look of you, the lure of you The sweet of you, the pure of you The eyes, the arms, the mouth of you The east, west, north and the south of you

I'd love to gain complete control of you And handle even the heart and soul of you So love, at least, a small percent of me, do For I love all of you

ALL SHOOK UP

A-well-a bless my soul whats wrong with me, Im itching like a man on a fuzzy tree

My friends say Im acting queer as a bug, Im in love, UH! Im all shook up

Mm mm mm mm mm, yeah yeah yeah

My hands are shaky and my knees are weak, I cant seem to stand on my own two feet

Who do you thank when you have such luck? Im in love, UH! Im all shook up


Please dont ask whats on my mind, Im a little mixed up but Im feeling fine

When Im near that girl that I love best, my heart beats so it scares me to death

When she touched my hand, what a chill I got, her kisses are like a volcano on top

Im proud to say that shes my buttercup, Im in love, UH! Im all shook up.



My tongue gets tied when I try to speak, my insides shake like a leaf on a tree

There's only one cure for this body of mine, that's to have that girl that I love so fine.

(When she touched my hand.....)

ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE

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.

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.You are the angel glow that lights a star, the dearest things I know are what you are.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!

ALL THE WAY

When somebody loves you, it's no good unless he loves you all the way

Happy to be near you, when you need someone to cheer you all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is, that's how it's go to feel

Deeper than the deep blue sea is, that's how deep it goes, if it's real

When somebody needs you, it's no good unless he needs you all the way

Through the good or lean years, and for all the in between years, come what may

Who knows where the road will lead us, only a fool would say

But if you let me love you, it's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way, all the way.

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee, all through the night

Guardian angels God will send thee, all through the night

Soft, the drowsy hours are creeping, hill and dale, in slumber steeping

I my longing vigil keeping, all through the night

While the moon her watch is keeping, all through the night

While the weary world is sleeping, all through the night

O'er thy spirit gently stealing, visions of the light revealing

Breathes a pure and holy feeling, all through the night.

ALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE

What a day this has been, what a rare mood I'm inWhy it's almost like being in loveThere's a smile on my face for the whole human raceWhy it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be

Like a bell that is ringing for meAnd from the way that I feel when that bell starts to pealI would swear I was falling, I could swear I was fallingIt's almost like being in love

ALONE TOGETHER

Alone together, beyond the crowd, above the world, we're not too proud To cling together, we're strong, as long as we're together Alone together, the blinding rain, the starless night, were not in vain For we're together and what is there to fear together

Our love is as deep as the sea. Our love is as great as a love can be And we can weather the great unknown, if we're alone together

ALWAYS

I'll be loving you, always, with a love that's true, always

When the things you've planned need a helping hand

I will understand, always, always.

Days may not be fair, always. That's when I'll be there, always.

Not for just an hour, not for just a day

Not for just a year, but always.

ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Always and forever, each moment with you is just like a dream to met that somehow came trueAnd I know tomorrow will still be the same, 'cause we've got a life of love that won't ever change and

Everyday, love me your own special way, melt all my heart away with a smile

Take time to tell me, you really care, and we'll share tomorrow, together

I'll always love you forever, foreverThere'll always be sunshine when I look at you, it's something I can't explain just the things that you doAnd if you get lonely, phone me and take a second to give to me that magic you make and

Everyday, love me your own special way, melt all my heart away with a smile

Take time to tell me, you really care, and we'll share tomorrow, together

I'll always love you forever

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed.

repeat 1st verse

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain.

For purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plain.

America! America! God shed His grace on thee.

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

Oh, 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.



AMIE

I can see why you think you belong to me,I never try to make you think, or let you see one thing for yourself,But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone,

You see I thought that I might keep you for my own,

Amie What you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, for a while, maybe longer if I do,Don't you think the time is right for us to find,All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time and can you see,Which way we should turn, together or alone,I can never see what's right or what is wrong. Will it take to long to see,

Amie What you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, for a while, maybe longer if I do,Now it's come to what you want you've had your way,All the things you thought before just faded into gray and can you see,That I don't know if it's you or if it's me. If it's one of us I'm sure we both will see,Won't you look at me and tell me,

Amie What you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, for a while, maybe longer if I do,Falling in and out of love with you, falling in and out of love with you,Don't know what I'm gonna do, I keep falling in and out of love with you

AND I LOVE HER

I give her all my love, thats all I do.

And if you saw my love, youd love her too, I love her.

She gives me everything, and tenderly.

The kiss my lover brings, she brings to me, and I love her.

A love like ours could never die, as long as I have you near me.

Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky.

I know this love of mine will never die, I love her.

ANGEL EYES

Try to think that loves not around, but its uncomfortably near

This old heart aint gaining no ground because my Angel Eyes aint here.

Angel Eyes, that old devil sent, they glow unbearably bright

Need I say that my loves misspent, misspent with Angel Eyes tonight

So drink up, all you people, order anything you see

Have fun, you happy people, the drink and the laughs on me

Pardon me, but I gotta run, the facts uncommonly clear

Gotta find whos now number one, and why my Angel Eyes aint here;

Why my Angel Eyes aint here; Scuse me while I disappear!

ANNIVERSARY SONG

Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed

We vowed our true love though a word wasnt said.

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies

Except for the few that were there in your eyes

Dear, as I held you so close in my arms, angels were singing a hymn to your charms

Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low, My darling, I love you so. The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn

The sun shone a-new but the dance lin

Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime

Wed find that our love is unaltered by time

Dear, as I held you so close in my arms........ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I got some money 'cause I just got paid

How I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in an awful wayI got in town a month ago, I seen a lotta girls since thenIf I could meet 'em I could get 'em but as yet I haven't met 'em

That's why I'm in the shape I'm in

Here's another Saturday night........................Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fineInstead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance to a cat named Frankenstein

Here's another Saturday night........................ It's hard on a fella, when he don't know his way aroundIf I don't find me a honey to help me spend my money, I'm gonna have to blow this town

Here's another Saturday night........................

ANSWER ME, MY LOVE

Answer me, oh, my love; Just what sin have I been guilty of?

Tell me how I came to lose your love, please answer me, sweet-heart.

You were mine yesterday; I believed that love was here to stay.

Won't you tell me where I've gone astray? Please answer me, my love.

If you're happier with-out me, I'll try not to care;

But if you still think a-bout me, please listen to my prayer.

You must know I've been true; Won't you say that we can start anew?

In my sorrow, now I turn to you, please answer me, my love.

In my sorrow, now I turn to you, please answer me, my love.

ANYTHING GOES

In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shockingNow heaven knows, anything goesGood 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 gigolosSo though I'm not a great romancer, I know that you're bound to answerWhen I propose, anything goes

ANY TIME

Any time you're feeling lonely, any time you're feeling blue,

Any time you feel downhearted, that will prove your love for me is true.

Any time you're thinking 'bout me, that's the time I'll be thinkin' of you

So any time you say you want me back again, that's the time I'll come back home to you.

APRIL IN PARIS

April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom, holiday tables under the treesApril in Paris, this is a feeling no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring, never met it face to faceI never knew my heart could sing, never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris, whom can I run to? What have you done to my heart?

APRIL SHOWERS

Though April showers may come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in May

So if its raining, have no regrets, because it isnt raining rain, you know, its 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 song, whenever April showers come along.

ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?

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?

AS TEARS GO BY

It is the evening of the day. I sit and watch the children playSmiling faces I can see, but not for me, I sit and watch as tears go by

My riches can't buy everything. I want to hear the children sing

All I hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground. I sit and watch as tears go by

It is the evening of the day. I sit and watch the children play

Doing things I used to do, they think a-new. I sit and watch as tears go by

AS TIME GOES BY

You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh;

The fundamental things apply, as time goes by.

And when two lovers woo, they still say I love you, on that you can re-ly;

No matter what the future brings, as time goes by

Moonlight and love songs never out of date, hearts full of passion jealousy and hate,

Woman needs man, and man must have his mate, that no one can deny.

It's still the same old story, a fight for love and glory, a case of do or die,

The world will always welcome lovers, as time goes by.

AT LAST

At last my love has come a-long, my lonely days are over, and life is like a song.

At last the skies above are blue; my heart was wrapped in clover, the night I looked at you.

I found a dream that I can speak to, a dream that I can call my own,

I found a thrill to press my cheek to, a thrill I've never known.

You smiled, and then the spell was cast,

And here we are in heaven, for you are mine at last.

AT SUNDOWN

Sunbeams are gently fading, slowly fading, the birds are waiting

To do their mating, when eventide is nigh

Moonbeams are descending, day is ending, a happy ending

The sun is sinking, below the western sky.

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.

AULD LANG SYNE

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne

Well take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

AUTUMN LEAVES/LES FEUILLES MORTES

Oh! je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes, des jours heureux o nous tions amis

En ce temps-l la vie tait plus belle, et le soleil plus brlant qu'aujourdhui.

Les Feuilles Mortes se ramassent la pelle, tu vois, je n'ai pas oubliLes Feuilles Mortes se ramassent la pelle, les souvenirs et les regrets aussi

Et le vent du Nord les emporte dans la nuit froide de l'oubli

Tu vois, je n'ai pas oubli la chanson que tu me chantais.

Cest une chanson qui nous ressemble, toi tu maimais et je taimais.

Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble, toi qui maimais moi qui taimais.

Mais la vie spare ceux qui saiment, tout doucement sans faire de bruit.

Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants dsunis.

The falling leaves drift by my window, the Autumn Leaves of 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 Ill hear old winters song.

But I miss you most of all, my darling, when Autumn Leaves start to fall.

AVALON

Ev'ry morn' my memories stray across the sea where flying fishes play

And as the night is falling, I find myself recalling that blissful, all-enthralling day

I found my love in Avalon, beside the bay

I left my love in Avalon, and sailed a way

I dream of her and Avalon from dusk 'til dawn

And so I think I'll travel on to Avalon

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

chorus

BABY FACE

Baby Face, you've got the cutest little Baby Face, there's not another one couldTake your place, Baby Face,My poor heart is jumpin; you sure have started somethin'Baby Face; I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace,I didn't need a shove 'Cause I just fell in love with your pretty Baby Face.BABY, YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES

Well now it takes more than a robin to make the winter goAnd it takes two lips for fire to melt away the snowWell it takes two hearts that are cookin' to make a fire growAnd baby you've got what it takes

You know it takes alot of kissin' to make a romance sweetOh it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life completeOh well it takes somebody special to knock me off my feetAnd baby you've got what it takes

I said ooooooooooooooo.....Aha ooooooooooooooo.

You know you've got just what it takesBecause it takes more effort to stay away from youAnd it takes more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be trueBut it takes somebody special to make me say I doAnd baby you've got what it takes

BACK HOME AGAIN IN INDIANA

Back home again in Indiana and it seems that I can see

The gleaming candlelight still shining bright through the sycamores for me

The new mown hay sends all its fragrance from the fields I used to roamWhen I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash, then I long for my Indiana home

When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash, then I long for my Indi-ana homeBALLAD OF DAVY CROCKETT

Up through the woods he's a-marchin' along, makin' up yarns an' singin' a song Itchin' for a fightin', and a-rightin' a wrong, grizzly as a bear and twice as strong.


His land is biggest an' his land is best, from grassy plains to the mountain crest He's ahead of us all meetin' the test, followin' his legend into the West


BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS

In 1814 we took a little trip, along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.We took a little bacon and we took a little beansAnd we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

Chorus: We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.

We fired once more and they began to runnin' on

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.We looked down the river and we see'd the British come.And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum.They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring.We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

ChorusOld Hickory said we could take 'em by surpriseIf we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eyeWe held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well.Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well

ChorusYeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the bramblesAnd they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'emDown the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behindAnd when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.

ChorusYeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the bramblesAnd they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'emDown the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

BAY MIR BISTU SHEYN

Of all the girls I've known, and I've known some, until I first met you I was lonesome

And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light

And this old world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit you deserve expressions that really fit you

And so I've wracked my brain, hoping to explain

All the things that you do to me

Bay mir bistu sheyn, please let me explain, bay mir bistu sheyn means that you're grand

Bay mir bistu sheyn, again I'll explain, it means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "Bella, bella," even say "Wunderbar."

Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bay mir bistu sheyn, so kiss me and say you'll understand.

Bay mir bistu sheyn, bay mir hostu kheyn, bay mir bistu sheynster oyf der velt

Bay mir bistu git, bay mir hostu "it", bay mir bistu tayerer fun gelt.

Fil sheyne meydlekh hobn shoyn gevolt nemen mir, un fun zey ale oysgeklibn hob ikh nor dikh.

Bay mir bistu sheyn, again I'll explain, it means you're the fairest in the land,

BEAUTIFUL DREAMER

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee.Sounds of the rude world heard in the day, lulled by the moonlight have all passed away.Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, list' while I woo thee with soft melody.Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,

Beautiful dreamer awake unto me. Beautiful dreamer awake unto me.

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea, mermaids are chanting the wild Lorelei,Over the streamlet vapors are borne, waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.Beautiful dreamer, beam in my heart, e'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea,Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me, Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me.

BEAUTIFUL OHIO Long, long ago, someone I know had a little red canoe, in it room for only two.

Love found its start, sang in my heart, and like a flower grew....

Drifting with the current down a moonlit stream

While above the Heavens in their glory gleam

And the stars on high twinkle in the sky.

Seeming in a Paradise of love divine

Dreaming of a pair of eyes that looked in mine.

Beautiful Ohio, in dreams again I see

Visions of what used to be....

BEAUTIFUL THAT WAY

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a childSmile, no matter what they tell you. Don't listen to a word they say'Cause life is beautiful that way.

Tears, a tidal wave of tears. Light, that slowly disappearsWait, before you close the curtain. There is still another game to playAnd life is beautiful that way

Here with his eyes forevermore, I will always be as close as youremember from beforeNow that you're out there on your ownRemember what is real andwhat we dream is love alone

Keep the laughter in your eyes. Soon your long awaited prizeWe'll forget about our sorrows, and think about a brighter day'Cause life is beautiful that way.

We'll forget about our sorrows, and think about a brighter day,Cause life is beautiful that wayThere's still another game to play, and life is beautiful that way.

BECAUSE-Dave Clark Five

It's right that I should care about you, and try to make you happy when you're blue

It's right, it's right to feel the way I do, because, because I love you

It's wrong to say I don't think of you

'Cause when you say these things, you know it makes me blue

Give me one kiss and I'll be happy, just, just to be with you

Give me, give me, a chance to be near you, because, because I love youBECAUSE OF YOU

Because of you there's a song in my heart. Because of you my romance had its startBecause of you the sun will shine, the moon and stars will say you're mine

Forever, and never to partI only live for your love and your kiss. It's paradise to be near you like thisBecause of you my life is now worthwhile, and I can smile, because of youBEGIN THE BEGUINE

When they begin the beguine, it brings back the sound of music so tenderIt brings back a night of tropical splendor, it brings back a memory ever greenI'm with you once more under the stars, and down by the shore an orchestra's playingAnd 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 partWhat moments divine, what rapture serene,till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tastedAnd 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 emberLet it sleep like the dead desire I only remember, when they begin the beguineOh yes, let them begin the beguine, please make them playTill the stars that were there before return above youTill you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"Then we suddenly know what heaven we're inWhen they begin the beguine, when they begin the beguine

BE MY LIFE'S COMPANIONBe my life's companion and you'll never grow old,I'll love you so much that you'll never grow oldWhen there's joy in living you just never grow oldYou've got to stay young 'cause you'll never grow old

THE BEST OF MY LOVE

Every night, I'm lying in bed, holding you close in my dreams

Thinking about all the things that we said, and coming apart at the seams

We try to talk it over, but the words come out too rough

I know you were trying to give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud empty places, look at the way that we live

Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine, left us so little to give

That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above

But here in my heart, I give you the best of my love

Oh-oh-oh ohhhh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love


I'm going back in time and it's a sweet dream

It was a quiet night and I would be all right if I could go on sleeping

But every morning I wake up and worry, what's gonna happen today?

You see it your way, and I see it mine, but we both see it slipping away

You know we always had each other baby, I guess that wasn't e-nough; o-o-ohh

But here in my heart, I give you the best of my love



THE BEST OF TIMES

The best of times is now, what's left of summer but a faded rose

The best of times is now, as for tomorrow well, who knows, who knows, who knows

So hold this moment fast, and live and love as hard as you know how

And make this moment last, because the best of times is now, is now, is now

Now, not some forgotten yesterday

Now, to-morrow is too far away

So hold this moment fast, and live and love as hard as you know how

And make this moment last, because the best of times is now, is now, is now

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE

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 sunbeams that shine, theyre yours, theyre mine!

And love can come to everyone, the best things in life are free

The best things in life are free.

BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA

Is there anyone around who can not see it's the well-known runaround you're giving me

I suppose you'll tell me I'm all wrong.

It's a bitter pill to take, coming from you, though I've made a big mistake, what can I do?

I don't know what makes me string along.

I don't want you, but I'd hate to lose you,

You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

I forgive you, 'cause I can't forget you,


I ought to cross you off my list, but when you come knocking at my door

Fate seems to give my heart a twist, and I come running back for more

I should hate you, but I guess I love you


BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED

She's a fool, and don't I know it, but a fool can have her charms

I'm in love, and don't I show it, like a babe in arms

Love's the same old sad sensation, lately I've not slept a wink

Since this silly situation has me on the blink

I'm wild again, beguiled again, a simpering, whimpering child again

Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I

Couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep, when love came and told me I shouldn't sleep

Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I

Lost my heart, but what of it? She is cold, I agree

She can laugh, but I love it, although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to her, each spring to her, and long for the day when I'll cling to her

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

BEYOND THE SEA

Somewhere beyond the sea, somewhere waiting for me,

My lover stands on golden sands, and watches the ships that go sailing.

Somewhere beyond the sea, hes there watching for me

If I could fly like birds on high, then straight to his arms Id go sailing.

Its far beyond a star, its near beyond the moon.

I know beyond a doubt, my heart will lead me there soon.

Well meet beyond the shore, well kiss just as before.

Happy well be beyond the sea and never again Ill go sailing.

BILL BAILEY, WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME

Wont you come home, Bill Bailey, wont you come home, she moans the whole day long.

Ill do the cooking, honey, Ill pay the rent, I know Ive done you wrong.

Member that rainy evening I drove you out, with nothin but a fine tooth comb:?

I know Im to blame, well, aint that a shame? Bill Bailey, wont you please come home?

BIRD DOG

Johnny is a joker (hes a bird) a very funny joker (hes a bird)

But when he jokes my honey (hes a dog), his jokin aint so funny (what a dog)

Johnny is the joker whos tryin to steal my baby (hes a bird dog!)

Johnny sings a love song (like a bird), he sings the sweetest love song (you ever heard)

But when he sings to my gal (what a howl), to me hes just a wolf dog (on the prowl)

Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby (hes a bird dog!)

Hey, bird dog, get away from my quail; hey, bird dog, youre on the wrong trail.

Bird dog, youd better leave my lovey dove alone.

Hey, bird dog, get away from my chick; hey, bird dog, youd better get away quick.

Bird dog, youd better find a chicken little of your own.

Johnny kissed the teacher (hes a bird), he tiptoed up to reach her (what a bird)

Hes the teachers pet now (hes a dog), what he wants he can get now (what a dog)

He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby (hes a bird dog!)

Chorus (Hey,bird dog.)

BIRDS AND THE BEES

Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees, and the flowers and the trees, And the moon up above, and a thing called love.

Let me tell ya 'bout the stars in the sky, and a girl and a guy,

And the way they could kiss, on a night like this

When I look into your big brown eyes, it's so very plain to see,

That it's time you learned about the facts of life, starting from A to Z.

Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees, and the flowers and the trees,And the moon up above, and a thing called love,

And a thing called love, and a thing called love

BIRTH OF THE BLUES

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 a 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, and rehearsed it, and gave out the news

That the Southland gave birth to the blues.

They nursed it, rehearsed it, and gave out the news

That the Southland gave birth to the blues.

BLAME IT ON THE BOSSA NOVA

I was at a dance when he caught my eye, standin' all alone lookin' sad and shyWe began to dance, swaying' to and fro, and soon I knew I'd never let him go

Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spellBlame it on the bossa nova that he did so wellOh, it all began with just one little dance, but then it ended up a big romanceBlame it on the bossa nova, the dance of love

(Now was it the moon?) No, no, the bossa nova(Or the stars above?) No, no, the bossa nova(Now was it the tune?) Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova (The dance of love)

Now I'm glad to say I'm his bride to be, and we're gonna raise a familyAnd when our kids ask how it came about, I'm gonna say to them without a doubt

Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spellBlame it on the bossa nova that he did so wellOh, it all began with just one little dance, but then it ended up a big romanceBlame it on the bossa nova, the dance of love

(Now was it the moon?) No, no, the bossa nova(Or the stars above?) No, no, the bossa nova(Now was it the tune?) Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova (The dance of love)

BLOWIN IN THE WIND

How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?

Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes and how many times must the cannonballs fly before theyre forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind, the answer is blowin in the wind.

How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?

Yes and how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?

Yes and how many deaths will it take til he knows that too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind, the answer is blowin in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?

Yes and how many years can some people exist before theyre allowed to be free?

Yes and how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesnt see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind, the answer is blowin in the wind.BLUEBERRY HILLI found my thrill on Blueberry Hill, on Blueberry Hill when I found you

The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill, and lingered un-til my dreams came true.

The wind in the willow played loves sweet melody.

But all of those vows we made were never to be.

Tho were apart, youre part of me still,

For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLLCome on, baby, let the good times roll, come on, baby, let me thrill your soul

Come on, baby, let the good times roll, roll all night long,

Come on, baby, let me hold you tight, tell me everything will be all right

Come on, baby, let the good times roll, roll all night long.

Feels so good, when youre home, come on, baby, rock me all night long,

Come on, baby, let the good times roll, come on, baby, let me thrill your soul

Come on, baby, let the good times roll, roll all night long,

THE WAY YOU DO THE THINGS YOU DO

You got a smile so bright, you know you couldve been a candle

Im holding you so tight, you know you couldve been a handle

The way you swept me off my feet, you know you couldve been a broom

The way you smell so sweet, you know you couldve been some perfume

Well, you couldve been anything that you wanted to, and I can tell.

The way you do the things you do.

The way you do the things you do. BLUE CHRISTMAS

Ill have a blue Christmas without you. Ill be so blue thinking about you.

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree wont mean a thing if youre not here with me.

Ill have a blue Christmas thats certain. And when that blue heartache starts hurtin

Youll be doin all right with your Christmas of white, but Ill have a blue, blue Christmas.

BLUE MOON

Blue Moon you saw me standing 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 saying a prayer for someone I really could care for

CHORUS:

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

CHORUS

BLUE ON BLUE

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache. Blue on blue now that we are through.

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache, and I find I can't get over losing you.

I walk along the street we used to walk, two by two, lovers pass,

And as they're passing by, I could die, 'cause you're not here with me.

Now the trees are bare, there's sadness in the air, and I'm as blue as I can be.



Night after lonely night, we meet in dreams, as I run to your side,

You wait with open arms, open arms that now are closed to me.

Through a veil of tears, your vision disap-pears, And I'm as blue as I can be.



BLUESETTE

Poor little, sad little blue Bluesette, don't you cry, don't you fret

You can bet one lucky day you'll waken and your blues will be forsaken

One lucky day lovely love will come your way

Long as there's love in your heart to share, dear Bluesette, don't despair

Some blue boy is longing just like you to find a someone to be true to

Two loving arms he can nestle in and stay

Get set, Bluesette, true love is coming. Your troubled heart soon will be humming.

Hum..............................................................

Dooya, dooya, dooya,dooya, dooya, dooya, doo- oo - oo Bluesette

Pretty little Bluesette, mustn't be a mourner,

Have you heard the news yet? Love is 'round the corner

Love wrapped in rainbows and tied with pink ribbon

To make your next spring-time your gold wedding ring time

So, dry your eyes, don't-cha pout, don't-cha fret, goody good times are coming, Bluesette

Long as there's love in your heart to share, dear Bluesette, don't despair

Some blue boy is longing, just like you, to find a someone to be true to

One lucky day lovely love will come your way

That magic day may just be today

BLUE SKIES

Blue skies smiling at me, nothing but blue skies do I see

Blue birds singing a song, nothing but blue birds all day long.

Never saw the sun shining so bright, never saw things going so right

Noticing the days hurrying by, when youre in love my how they fly

Blue days all of them gone, nothing but blue skies from now on.

BLUE SUEDE SHOES

Well, it's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go cat go!

CHORUS:

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.

You can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down, step in my face slander my name all over the place

Do anything that you want to do but uh-uh, honey, lay off of my shoesCHORUS

Well, you can burn my house, steal my car, drink my cider from my old fruit jar

Do anything that you want to do but uh-uh, honey, lay off of my shoesCHORUS

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes (X4), you can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

BODY AND SOUL

My heart is sad and lonely, for you I sigh, for you, dear, onlyWhy haven't you seen it? I'm all for you body and soulI spend my days in longin', and wondering why it's me you're wrongingI tell you I mean it. I'm all for you body and soul

I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it, that you'd turn away from romanceAre you pretending, it looks like the endingUnless I could have one more chance to prove, dearMy life a wreck you're making, you know I'm yours for just the takingI'd gladly surrender myself to you, body and soul

BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO

You tell me that youre leaving, I cant believe its true.

Girl, theres just no living without you.

Dont take your love away from me. Dont you leave my heart in misery

If you go, then Ill be blue. Breaking up is hard to do.

Remember when you held me tight, and you kissed me all through the night.

Think of all that weve been through. Breaking up is hard to do.

They say that breaking up is hard to do, now I know, I know that its true.

Dont say that this is the end, instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again.

I beg of you, dont say goodbye, cant we give our love a brand new try?

Yeah, come on babe, lets start anew, cause breaking up is hard to do.

Breaking up is so very hard to do.

BRING BACK MY NEIGHBORS TO ME

Last night as I lay on my pillow

Last night as I lay on my bed

I stuck my feet out of the window

In the morning my neighbors were dead

Bring back, bring back, oh, bring back my neighbors to me, to me

Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my neighbors to me.BRING ME SUNSHINE

Bring me sunshine in your smile, make me happy all the while

In this world where we live there should be more happiness

So much joy we can give to each brand new bright tomorrow

Make me happy through the years, never bring me any tears

Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above

Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.

BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME?

They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob

When there was earth to plow or guns to bear I was always there right on the job

They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead

Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?Once I built a railroad, I made it run, I made it run against time

Once I built a railroad, now it's done, brother, can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower, up to the sun, bricks and mortar and lime

Once I built a tower, now it's done, brother, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell, full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum

Half a million boots went slogging through Hell, and I was the kid with the drum

Say, don't you remember, you called me "Al." It was Al all the time.

Say, don't you remember, I was your pal, brother, can you spare a dime?

BUFFALO GALS

As I was walking down the street, down the street, down the street

A pretty girl I chanced to meet, under the silvery moon.

Buffalo gals, wont you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight,

Buffalo gals, wont you come out tonight and dance by the light of the moon.

I asked her if shed stop and talk, stop and talk, stop and talk,

Her feet covered up the whole sidewalk, she was fair to view.

REFRAIN

I asked her if shed be my wife, be my wife, be my wife

Then Id be happy all my life, if shed marry me.

REFRAIN

BURPING BUBBLES

Tiny bubbles in my Coke, make me hiccup, make me choke,

Tiny bubbles make me shake all over,

With the feeling that Im gonna burp until the end of time.

So heres to soda pop, its good to the very last drop, but if you drink too much, your teeth will rot!

Tiny bubbles in my Coke, make me hiccup, make me choke,

Tiny bubbles make me shake all over,

With the feeling that Im gonna burp until the end of time.

With the feeling that Im gonna belch until the end of time.

BUSHEL AND A PECK

I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck

Hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap, barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep

About you, about you, 'cause I love you a bushel and a peck, y' bet your pretty neck I do.

Doodle oodle doodle, doodle oodle doodle, doodle oodle oodle ooo.

I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck though you make my heart a wreck

Make my heart a wreck and you make my life a mess, make my life a mess, yes a mess of happiness

About you, about you, 'cause I love you a bushel and a peck, y' bet your pretty neck I do.

Doodle oodle doodle, doodle oodle doodle, doodle oodle oodle ooo.

BUT NOT FOR ME

Old Man Sunshine, listen, you, never tell me dreams come true.

Just try it, and I'll start a riotBeatrice Fairfax don't you dare ever tell me she will care.

I'm certain, It's the final cutain.Don't want to hear from and cheerful Pollyannas

Who tell me love will find a way, it's all bananas.

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 found more clouds of grey, than any Russian play could guarantee.I was a fool to fall, and get that way. Hi ho! Alas! And also Lack a day!Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss, I guess she's not for me.

BUTTON UP YOUR OVERCOAT

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


Be careful crossing streets, oo oo, don't eat meats, oo oo, cut out sweets, oo oo

You'll get a pain and ruin your tum tum!

Keep away from bootleg hootch when you're on a spree


Button up your overcoat when the wind is free

Take good care of yourself, you belong to me.

Wear your flannel underwear when you climb a tree

Take good care of yourself, you belong to me.

Don't sit on hornets' tails, oo oo, or on nails, oo oo, or third rails, oo oo

You'll get a pain and ruin your tum tum!

Don't go out with college boys when you're on a spree

Take good care of yourself (X3), you belong to me!

There goes my baby with someone new; she sure looks happy I sure am blue

She was my baby till he stepped in; goodbye to romance that might have been

CHORUS ("Bye, bye, love.......")

I'm through with romance, I'm through with love.

I'm through with countin' the stars above

And here's the reason that I'm so free:

My lovin' baby is through with me CHORUS (Bye, bye, love.)

BY THE BEAUTIFUL SEA

By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea, you and me, you and me, oh, how happy well be

When each wave comes a-rolling in we will duck or swim

And well float and look around the water

Over and under and then up for air, Pa is rich, Ma is rich, so now what do we care?

I love to be beside your side, beside the sea, beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea.

"What good is sitting alone In your room? Come hear the music play.Life is a Cabaret, old chum, come to the Cabaret.Put down the knitting, The book and the broom, it's time for a holiday.Life is a Cabaret, old chum, come to the Cabaret.

Come taste the wine, come hear the band, come blow a horn, start celebrating;

Right this way, your table's waiting.What good's permitting Some prophet of doom to wipe every smile away.Life is a Cabaret, old chum, so come to the Cabaret!

I used to have a girlfriend Known as Elsie, with whom I shared A four sordid rooms in ChelseaShe wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower...as a matter of fact she rented by the hour.The day she died the neighbors Came to snicker:

"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor."But when I saw her laid out like a Queen, she was the happiest... corpse... I'd ever seen.I think of Elsie to this very day. I remember how she'd turn to me and say:"What good is sitting all alone in you room? Come hear the music play.Life is a Cabaret, old chum, come to the Cabaret.And as for me, and as for me, I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,When I go, I'm going like Elsie.

Start by admitting, From cradle to tomb, it isn't that a long a stay.Life is a Cabaret, old chum, it's only a Cabaret, old chumAnd I love a Cabaret.

CAMPTOWN RACES

O the Camptown ladies sing this song, dooda dooda

The Camptown race track's five miles long, oh dooda day

Goin' to run all night,

Goin' to run all day

I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag,

Somebody bet on the bay.

I went down South with my hat caved in, dooda dooda

I come back North with a pocket full of tin, oh dooda day

CAN'T BUY ME LOVE

Can't buy me lo-ove, lo-ove, can't buy me lo-ove

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright

I'll get you anything my friend, if it makes you feel alright

'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

I'll give you all I've got to give, if you say you want me too

I may not have a lot to give, but what I got I'll give to you

'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me lo-ove, everybody tells me so

Can't buy me lo-ove, no, no, no....NO!

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied

Tell me that you want the kind of things that money just can't buy

I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me lo-ove, lo-ove, can't buy me lo-o-ove.

CAN'T GET USED TO LOSING YOU

Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round, guess I'll get dressed and do the townI'll find some crowded avenue, though it will be empty without you

Can't get used to losing you, no matter what I try to do

Gonna live my whole life through....loving youCalled up some girl I used to know. After I heard her say "Hello"Couldn't think of anything to say, since you're gone it happens every day

Can't get used to losing .....I'll find somebody, wait and see. Who am I kidding, only meFor no one else could take your place, guess that I am just a hopeless case

Can't get used to losing .....

CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE

Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay? Would it be a sin, if I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows, surely to the sea, darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life, too, for I can't help falling in love with you

CANT TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU

Youre just too good to be true, cant take my eyes off of you

Youd be like heaven to touch, I wanna hold you so much

At long last love has arrived, and I thank God Im alive


Pardon the way that I stare, theres nothing else to compare

The sight of you leaves me weak, there are no words left to speak

But if you feel like I feel, please let me know that its real


Instrumental interlude

I love you, baby, and if its quite all right, I need you, baby

To warm the lonely night, I love you baby, trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby, dont bring me down, I pray, oh pretty baby,

Now that Ive found you, stay, and let me love you, baby, let me love you

Youre just too good to be true..

CAROLINA IN THE MORNING

Nothing could be finer than to be in Caro-li-na in the morn---ing,

No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morn---ing.

Where the morning glories twine around the door,

Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more.

Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morn---ing,

Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup at dawn--ing,

If I had Aladdins lamp for only a day, Id make a wish and heres what Id say:Nothing could be finer than to be in Caro-li-na in the morn-------ing.

CAROLINA MOONCarolina moon keep shining, shining on the one who waits for me

Carolina moon I'm pining, pining for the place I long to be How I'm hoping tonight you'll go, go to the right window

Scatter your light say I'm all right please do

Tell her that I'm blue and lonely, dreamy Carolina moon

THE CAT CAME BACK

Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own. He had a yellow cat who wouldn't leave its home;He tried and he tried to give the cat away, he gave it to a man who was goin' far away.

But the cat came back the very next day,

The cat came back, they thought he was a goner

But the cat came back, he just couldn't stay away.He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note. He told him for to take it up the river in a boat;He tied a rope around its neck, it must have weighed a poundNow they drag the river for a little boy that's drowned.

But the cat came back......The man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight,He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite;He waited and he waited for the cat to come around,Ninety seven pieces of the man is all they found.

But the cat came back......The atom bomb fell just the other day. The H-Bomb fell in the very same way;Russia went, England went, and then the U.S.A.The human race was finished without a chance to pray.

But the cat came back......

CATCH A FALLING STAR

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away.

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day.

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder, some starless night.

And just in case you feel you want to hold her, youll have a pocket full of starlight.

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away


For when your troubles start in multiplying and they just might.

Its easy to forget them without trying, with just a pocket full of starlight.

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away.


Save it for a rainy day, save it for a rainy day.

CATHY'S CLOWN

Don't want your love any more

Don't want your kisses that's for sure

I die each time I hear this sound

Here he comes that's Cathy's clown

I've gotta stand tall. You know a man can't crawl

For when he knows you tell lies, and he hears 'em passin' by, he's not a man at all

When you see me shed a tear and you know that it's sin-cere

Don'tcha think it's kinda sad that you're treatin' me so bad, or don't you even care

A CERTAIN SMILE

A certain smile, a certain face, can lead an unsuspecting heart on a merry chase A fleeting glance can say so many lovely things, suddenly you know why my heart sings

You love a while and when love goes, you try to hide the tears inside with a cheerful pose. But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again CHANCES ARE

Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin, the moment you come into view,Chances are you think that I'm in love with you.Just because my composure sort of slips, the moment that your lips meet mine,Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine.

In the magic of moonlight, when I sigh, "Hold me close, dear,"

Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes.Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for meAnd, if you think you could, well, chances are your chances are awfully good.

CHANGE PARTNERS

Must you dance every dance with that 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

Oh, 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, and 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.

CHANUKAH, O CHANUKAH

Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah, come light the Menorah,Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora.Gather round the table, we'll give you a treat.Dreydls to play with, Latkes to eat.And while we are playing,The candles are burning low.One for each night, they shed a sweet light,To remind us of days long ago.One for each night, they shed a sweet light,To remind us of days long ago.

CHAPEL OF LOVE

Spring is here and the sky is so very blue, wo-o-o-oh

Birds all sing, as if they knew

Todays the day well say I do, and well never be lonely any more.

Because were goin to the chapel and were gonna get married

Goin to the chapel and were gonna get married

Gee I really love you and were gonna get married, goin to the chapel of love.

Bells will ring, and the sun is gonna shine, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh,

Im gonna be his, and.. hes gonna be mine

Were gonna love, until the end of time, and well never be lonely any more.

CHORUS

CHARLESTON

Charleston, charleston, made in Carolina. Some dance, some prance I'll say better than finer

Than the charleston, charleston, boy, how you can shuffle

Every step you do leads to something new. Man, I'm telling you it's a lopazoo

Buck dance, wing dance will be a back number

But the charleston, the new charleston, that dance is surely a comer

Sometime you'll dance it one time, that dance called the charleston, made in South Caroline

Sometime you'll dance it one time, that dance called the charleston, made in South Caroline

CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO

Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo, track 29, boy, you can give me a shine.

I can afford to board the Chattanooga Choo Choo, I've got my fare, and just a trifle to spare.

You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four

Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore

Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer, than to have your ham and eggs in Carolina

When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar

Then you know that Tennessee is not very far,

Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rollin', woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are

There's gonna be a certain party at the station, in satin and lace, I used to call funny face

She's gonna cry until I tell her that I'll never roam

So Chattanooga Choo Choo won't you choo choo me home.

CHATTANOOGA SHOE SHINE BOY

Have you ever passed the corner of Fourth and Grand

Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoeshine stand

People gather round and they clap their hands he's a great big bundle of joy

He pops a boogie woogie rag Chattanooga shoeshine boy

Well he charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe

He makes the oldest kind of leather look like new

You feel as though you wanna dance when he gets through

He's a great big bundle of joy

He pops a boogie woogie rag Chattanooga shoeshine boy

Well it's a wonder that the rag don't tear the way he makes it pop

You oughta see him fan the air with his hoppity-hippity-hoppity-hippity...hop, hop, hopHe opens up for business when the clock strikes nineHe likes to get 'em early when they're feelin' fineEverybody gets a little rise and shine with a great big bundle of joyHe pops a boogie woogie rag Chattanooga shoeshine boy

Well it's a wonder that the rag...

CHEEK TO CHEEKHeaven, I'm in Heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speakAnd I seem to find the happiness I seek when we're out together dancing cheek to cheekHeaven, I'm in Heaven, and the cares that hang around me through the weekSeem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh! I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak

But it doesn't thrill 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

Dance with me, I want my arm about you

The charm about you will carry me through toHeaven, I'm in Heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speakAnd I seem to find the happiness I seek, when we're out together dancing,

Out together dancing, out together dancing cheek to cheek.

CHEERS THEME

Making your way in the world today takes everything you got

Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.

Wouldnt you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name

And they're always glad you came

You wanna be where you can see troubles are all the same

You wanna be where everybody knows your name

You wanna go where people know people are all the same

You wanna go where everybody knows your name

Climbing the walls when no one calls; youve lost at love again

And the more youre down and out, the more you need a friend

When you long to hear a kind hello

(Sometimes you want to go)

CHERRY PINK AND APPLE BLOSSOM WHITE

It's cherry pink and apple blossom white, when your true lover comes your way

It's cherry pink and apple blossom white, the poets say.

The story goes that once a cherry tree, beside an apple tree did grow

And there a boy once met his bride to be long long ago

The boy looked into her eyes, it was a sight to enthrall,

The breezes joined in their sighs, the blossoms started to fall.

And as they gently caressed, the lovers looked up to find,

The branches of the two trees were intertwined.

And that is why the poets always write, if there's a new moon bright above

It's cherry pink and apple blossom white, when you're in love

CHRISTMAS ISLAND

How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?

How'd you like to spend a holiday away across the sea?

How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?

How'd you like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?

How'd you like to stay up late, like the islanders do,

Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe?

If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island,

You will never stray for ev'ry day your Christmas dreams come true.

On Christmas Island, your dreams come true. (On Christmas Is - land)

THE CHRISTMAS SONG

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose,

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folds dressed up like Eskimos.

Evrybody knows a turkey and mistletoe help to make the season bright.

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santas on his way; hes loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.

And evry mothers child is gonna spy to see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so, Im offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety-two.

Although its been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you.

CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE

Christmas time is here. Happiness and cheerFun for all, that children call their favorite time of the yearSnowflakes in the air, carols everywhereOlden times and ancient rhymes of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air, beauty everywhere

Yuletide by the fireside, and joyful memories thereChristmas time is here, we'll be drawing nearOh, that we could always see such spirit through the yearOh, that we could always see such spirit through the year...

THE CHRISTMAS WALTZ

Frosted window panes, candles gleaming inside, painted candy canes on the tree

Santas on his way; hes filled his sleigh with things, things for you and for me

Its that time of year, when the world falls in love, every 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.

THE CIRCLE GAME

Yesterday a child came out to wander. Caught a dragonfly inside a jar

Fearful when the sky was full of thunder, and tearful at the falling of a star

Then the child moved 10 times round the seasons. Skated over 10 clear frozen streams

Words like "when you're older" must appease him and promises of "someday" make his dreams

And the seasons they go round and round

And the painted ponies go up and down

We're captive on a carousel of time

We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came

And go round and round and round in the circle game.

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now

Cartwheels turn to carwheels through the town

And they tell him, take your time, it won't be long now

'Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down

CHORUS

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty

Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true

There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty

Before the last revolving year is through.

CHORUSCITY OF NEW ORLEANS

Riding on the City of New Orleans, Illinois Central Monday morning rail

Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders, three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.

All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out at Kankakee

Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.

Passin' trains that have no names, freight yards full of old black men

And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.

Good morning America how are you?

Don't you know me I'm your native son,

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Dealin' card games with the young man in the club car, penny a point ain't no one keepin' score.

Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle, feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor.

And the sons of pullman porters and the sons of engineers

Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel.

Mothers with their babes asleep, are rockin' to the gentle beat

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

CHORUS

Nighttime on The City of New Orleans, changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.

Half way home, we'll be there by morning, through the Mississippi darkness, rolling down to the sea.

And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream, and the steel rails still ain't heard the news.

The conductor sings his song again, the passengers will please refrain

This train's got the disappearing railroad blues.

Good night, America, how are you?

Don't you know me I'm your native son,

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

CLEMENTINEOh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling, Clementine

You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.

In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine

Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter, Clementine.Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling, Clementine


CLEMENTINE-The Whole Story

In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine

Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter, Clementine.

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling, Clementine


Light she was, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number nine.

Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine.

Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine

Hit her foot against a splinter, fell in-to the foaming brine.

CHORUS

Ruby lips above the water blowing bubbles soft and fine

As for me, I was no swimmer and I lost my Clementine

How I missed her, how I missed her, how I missed my Clementine.

Then I kissed her little sister and for-got dear Clementine

CHORUS

CLOSE TO YOU

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near

Just like me, they long to be close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by


On the day that you were born the angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold

And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the boys in town follow you all around



Ah................................close to you, Ah................................close to you

COCKLES AND MUSSELS (MOLLY MALONE)In Dublin's fair city, where girls are so pretty,

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Ma-lone,

As she wheeled her wheel-barrow through streets broad and narrow,

Crying, "Cockles and mussels, a-live, alive-o!"

"A-live, alive-o! A-live, alive-o!"


She was a fish-monger, but sure 'twas no wonder,

For so were her father and mother be-fore,

And they each wheeled their barrow through streets broad and narrow,


(CHORUS)She died of a fever, and no one could save her.

And that was the end of sweet Molly Ma-lone,

But her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow,


(CHORUS)

COLOR MY WORLD

As time goes on, I realize just what you mean to me.And now, now that you're near, promise your love that I'v
