The Quintessential - Volume 1

Irving gordon / allan roberts / alvin s. kaufman

Me, myself and i
Are all in love with you
We all think you're wonderful
We do

Me, myself and i
Have just one point of view
We're convinced
There's no one else like you
It can't be denied dear
You brought the sun to us
We'd be satisfied dear
If you, you'd belong to one of us

So if you pass me by
Three hearts will break in two
Cause me, myself and i
Are all in love with you

Me, myself and i
Are all in love with you
We all think you're wonderful
We do

Me, myself and i
Have just one point of view
We're convinced
There's no one else like you

It can't be denied dear
You brought the sun to us
We'd be satisfied dear
If you'd belong to one of us

So if you pass me by
Three hearts will break in two
Cause me, myself and i
Are all in love with you

Ralph rainger / howard dietz

Moanin' low, my sweet man, i love him so
Though he's mean as can be
He's the kind of man needs the kind
Of a woman like me

Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by
If i die where'ii he be
He's the kind of a man needs the kind
Of a woman like me

Don't know any reason why
He treats me so poorly
What have i gone and done
Makes me troubles double with his worries
When surely i ain't deserving of none

Moanin' low
My sweet man is gonna go
When he goes, oh lordy
He's the kind of a man needs the kind
Of a woman like memoanin' low, my sweet man, i love him so
Though he's mean as can be
He's the kind of man needs the kind
Of a woman like me

Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by
If i die where'ii he be
He's the kind of a man needs the kind
Of a woman like me

Don't know any reason why
He treats me so poorly
What have i gone and done
Makes me troubles double with his worries
When surely i ain't deserving of none

Moanin' low
My sweet man is gonna go
When he goes, oh lordy
He's the kind of a man needs the kind
Of a woman like me

Al dubin / harry warren

Just when romance got a start
You decided it was time to part
How could you?
How could you?

It was on a night like this
You left me and didn't leave a kiss
How could you?
How could you?

You know that love is just like apple pie
It's either sweet or tart
You could be the apple of my eye
But you, you, you upset the apple cart

I was looking forward to
All those little things you didn't do
How'could you,
Could you break my heart?

Roy turk / fred e. ahlert

You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'
I don't know why
I stay home each night
When you say you phone
You don't and i'm left alone.
Sing the blues and sighin'
You treat me coldly each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever somebody is near, dear
I must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't, for can't you see
What you mean to me

Charles f. kenney / nick kenney / n. ellis

How carelessly
You gave me your heart
And carelessly i broke it, sweetheart
I took each tender kiss you gave to me
Every kiss made you a slave to me

Then carelessly
I told you good-bye
But now at night i wake up and cry
I wish i knew a way to find the love
I threw away so carelessly

John (?) redmond / lee david

Oh clouds above me
Where are the birds that used to sing?
Everything's wrong
Oh where is their song of love?

Where is the one
Who said he loved me
Far, like those clouds he used to bring
Can it be true there's somebody new to love?
Listen my heart
Don't feel so bad
Think of the kisses we knew
You know my heart
The moments we had
Maybe he's missing them too
Where is the sun?

Oh clouds above me
Don't lake the dreams to which i cling
Where is the sun?
Oh where is the one i love?

George and ira gershwin

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still i'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still i'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you change my life
No, no they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from

George and ira gershwin

You say either
And i say either
You say neither
And i say neither
Either, either, neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off

You like potatoes
And i like potatoes
You like tomatoes
And i like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes
Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart

So it you like pajarnas and i like pajamas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajamas
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off

So if you go for oysters
And i go for oysters
I'll order oysters and cancel the oysters
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off
