1. _ When You're Away
When you're away dear,
How weary the lonesome hours,
Sunshine seems gray dear,
The fragrance has left the flowers . . .
Ever i hear you in seeming
Whispering soft love words to me
Ah if i knew it were but dreaming
N'er to be . . .
Then, when you're near me
There's n'yot that i strive to do
Save to endear me
More fondly my love to you . . .
Never again let us part dear,
I'd die without you my own,
Hold me again to your heart,
I love you alone . . .
( never again let us part dear,
I'd die without you my own . . . )
. . . hold me again to your heart,
I love you alone . . .
Love you my own . . .
Love you alone!

2. _ My Funny Valentine
My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart,
Your looks are laughable, un-photographical,
Yet you're my favourite work of art . . .
Is your figure less than greek ?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smiling?
But don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is valentine's day . . .
Each day is valentine's day . . .

4. _ Nobody
When life seems full of clouds an' rain
And i am filled with naught but pain,
Who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain ?
Nobody . . .
When winter comes with snow an' sleet,
And me with hunger and cold feet,
Who says " ah, here's two bits, go an' eat!"
Nobody . . .
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody,
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!
And 'till i get somethin' from somebody, sometime,
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time!
When i try hard an' scheme an' plan,
To look as good as good as i can,
Who says " ah, look at that handsome man!"
Nobody . . .
When all day long things go amiss,
And i go home to find some bliss,
Who hands to me a glowin' kiss?
Nobody . . .
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody,
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!
And until i get somethin' from somebody, sometime,
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time!
Nobody, no time!

6. _ You Do Something To Me
You do somethin' to me,
Somethin' that simply mystifies me,
Tell me, why should it be?
You have the power to hypnotize me . . .
Let me live 'neath your spell,
Do do that 'voodoo' that you do so well!
For you do somethin' to me,
That nobody else could do!
You . . . do . . . somethin' to me,
Somethin' that simply mystifies me,
Tell . . . me . . . why should it be?
You have the power to hypnotize me . . .
Let me live 'neath your spell,
Do do that 'voodoo' that you do so well!
For you do somethin' to me,
That nobody else could do!
That nobody else could do . . .

7. _ It Happened In Monterey
It happened in monterey, a long time ago,
I met her in monterey, in ol' mexico.
Stars an' steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine,
Broke somebody's heart and i'm afraid that it was mine.
It happened in monterey, without thinkin' twice,
I left her an' threw away the key to paradise.
My indiscreet heart, longs for a sweetheart,
That i left in ol' monterey!
( it happened in monterey, a long time ago,
He met her in monterey, in old mexico. )
Stars and steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine,
Broke somebody's heart and i'm afraid that it was mine.
( it happened in monterey, without thinking twice )
I left her an' threw away the key to paradise.
My indiscreet heart, longs for a sweetheart,
That i left in ol' monterey!

8. _ Ain't Misbehavin'
No one to talk with,
All by myself,
No one to walk with,
But i'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
Saving my love for you!
I know for certain,
The one i love,
I'm through with flirtin',
It's just you i'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
Saving my love for you!
Like jack horner,
In the corner,
Don't go nowhere,
But what do i care?
Your kisses . . .
Are worth waitin' for
Believe me!
Don't stay out late,
Don't care to go!
I'm home about eight,
Just me an' my radio!
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
Saving my love for you!
[ instrumental verse ]
Hmm, i don't stay out late,
Don't care to go!
I'm home about eight,
Just me an' my radio!
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
Saving my love for you!

9. _ It's A Good Day
Oh! it's a good day, for singin' a song,
An' it's a good day for movin' along,
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything go wrong?
A good day from mornin' 'till night!
Yes it's a good day, ( it's a lovely day for shinin' ) for shinin' your shoes
An' it's a good day ( if you wan' a silver linin' ) for losin' the blues
( you got . . . ) everything t' gain ( everythin' t' gain and nuthin' ) and nuthin' t' lose,
'cuz it's a good day from mornin' to night! ( you're right! )
I said to the sun, "good mornin' sun!"
"rise an' shine t'day!"
You kno' you gotta get goin' if you're gonna make a showin'
And you kno' you got the right of way!
'cause it's a good day for payin' your bills,
And it's a good day for curin' your ills,
So, take a deep breath, throw away all your pills,
'cause it's a good day from mornin' 'till night!
Just this very day, i said to the sun, "good mornin' sun!"
"rise an' shine, why don't you rise and shine?"
You kno' you gotta get goin' if you wanna make a showin'
And you kno' you've got the right of way!
'cause it's a good day for payin' your bills,
And it's a ' gooood ' day for curin' your ills,
So, take a deep breath ( ahhh! ) throw away all your pills,
'cause it's a good day from mornin' 'till night! ( say that again! )
Oh it's a good day from mornin' 'till night ( that's what he said! )
Yes it's a good day from mornin' 'till night!

10. _ One For My Baby
It's a quarter t' three,
There's no one in the place except you an' me.
So, set 'em up joe, i've got a little story that you otta kno.
We're drinkin' my friend, t' the end of a brief episode,
Make it one for ma baby an' one more for the road . . .
I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine,
I'm feelin' so bad, i wish you'd make the music dreamy an' sad,
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your 'code'
Make it one for ma baby, one more for the road . . .
You'd never kno' it, but buddy, i'm kind of a poet,
And i've got a lot of things to say.
And when i'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me,
Until it's talked away . . .
Well, that's how it goes, and joe i kno' you're gettin' anxious t' close,
So thanks for the cheer, i hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear . . .
This torch that i've found, must be drowned or it soon will explode,
Make it one for ma baby, an' one more for the road . . .
That long, long road!

11. _ For Me And My Gal
The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everybody's been knowin', to a weddin' they're goin'
An' for weeks they've been sewin' every susie and sal' . . .
They're congregatin' ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
For me an' my gal ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
The parson's waitin' ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
For me and my gal ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
An' someday i'm gonna build a little home for two,
Or three or four, or more,
In loveland, for me an' my gal . . .
See the relatives there, lookin' over the pair,
They can tell at a glance, it's a loving romance,
It's a wonderful sight, as the families unite,
See it makes the boy proud, as he says to the crowd . . .
The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everyone's been knowin' ( all our friends and our relations! )
To a weddin' they're goin' ( will be at the railroad station! )
An' for weeks they've been sewin' ( or, they'll send congratulations! )
Every susie and sal' ( . . . for me an' my gal! )

An' someday i'm gonna build a little home for two,

In loveland! ( loveland! )
In loveland! ( loveland! )
In loveland, for me an' my gal!

12. _ 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 . . .
An' when two lovers woo, they still say "i love you,"
On that you can rely, no matter what the future brings,
As time goes by . . .
Moonlight an' love songs never out of date,
Hearts full of passion, jealousy an' 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 an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by . . .
< instrumental verse three >
It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by . . .

13. _ It's The Talk Of The Town
I can't show my face,
Can't go anyplace,
People stop an' stare,
It's so hard to bare,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town . . .
Every time we meet,
My heart skips a beat,
We don't stop to speak,
'though it's just a week,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town . . .
We send out invitations,
To friends and relations,
Announcing our weddin' day
Friends and our relations,
Gave congratulations,
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town . . .
< instrumental repeat of verse >
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town . . . hmm
It's the talk of the town.

14. _ In The Still Of The Night
( do you love me? do you love me? )
In the still of the night, as i gaze from my window,
At the moon in it's flight, my thoughts all stray to you . . .
In the still of the night, while the world is in slumber,
Oh the times without number, darling when i say to you,
"do you love me, as i love you?
Are you my life to be, my dreams come true? ( will you be my dream come true? )
Or, will this dream of mine fade out of sight?"
Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill,
In the chill, still of the night . . . ( do you love me? )
( do you love me? )
In the still of the night . . .

15. _ I've Got The World On A String
I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm in love . . .
I got a song that i sing, i can make the rain go,
Anytime i move my finger, lucky me, can't you see?
I'm in love . . .
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as i hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if i should ever let you go . . .
I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a life, what a world,
I'm in love . . .
( instrumental repeat of verse )
. . . what a world, what a life,
I'm in love . . .

Life is a beautiful thing, as long as i hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if i should ever let you go . . .
Oh! i got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm really in love . . .

16. _ I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues
I gotta right to sing the blues, i gotta right to feel low-down,
I gotta right t' hang around, down around the river . . .
A certain gal in this ol' town, keeps draggin' my poor heart around,
All i see for me, is misery . . .
I gotta right to sing the blues, i gotta right to moan and sigh,
I gotta right to sit and cry, down around the river . . .
I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues! ( doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo )
( he's gotta right to sing the blues ) i gotta right to sing the blues!
( he's gotta right to moan and sigh ) i gotta right t' moan and sigh!
( he's gotta right to sit an' cry ) sit an' cryin' down along the river!
I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues . . . the blues,
I gotta right ( the right! ) tonight ( tonight! )
I gotta right to sing the blues! ( doo doo, doo doo, doo wah! )

17. _ Breezin' Along With The Breeze
I'm just breezin' along with the breeze,
Trailing the rails, i'm a roamin' the seas.
Like the birdies that sing in the trees,
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please.
The sky is the only roof i have over my head,
And when i'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed.
I'm just goin' along as i please,
Breezin' along with the breeze.
< instrumental repeat of verse >
The sky is the only roof i have over my head,
