The Quintessential - Volume 1

S. cahn / s. chaplin

You're just a no account
You never will amount to nothin' at all
When there is work to do and someone yells for you
You don't hear them call
The good lord set aside his sundays
For folks to rest
More that one day's rest is wrong
You start restin' sunday and rest so hard
You're tired the whole week long
You're just a no account
You never will amount to nothin' at all

I just can't figure how each time you milk the cow
The tit gets so small
We got machines to do your work for you
But you won't press the button on the wall
You're just a no account
You never will amount to nothin' at all

You're just a no account
You never will amount to nothin'al all
I just can't figure how each time you milk the cow
The tit gets so small
We got machines to do your work for you
But you won't press the button on the wall
You're just a no account
You never will amount to nothin' at all

Cole porter

Like the beat, beat, beat of the tomtom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops
When the summer show'r is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you

Night and day you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and sun
Whether near me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day
Day and night

Why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever i go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day

Night and day under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And its torment won't be trough
'till you spent my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day

Maceo pinkard / william tracey / doris tauber

I fell in love with you first time i looked into
Them there eyes
You've got a certain lil' cute way of flirtin' with
Them there eyes
They make me feel happy
They make me feel blue
No stallin'
I'm fallin'
Going in a big way for sweet little you
My heart is jumpin'
Sure started somethin with
Them there eyes
You'de better watch them if you're wise
They sparkle
They bubble
They're gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble
You're overworkin' them
There's danger lurkin' in
Them there eyes

Maybe you think i'm just flirtin'
Maybe you think i'm all lies
Just because i get romantic when i gaze in
Them there eyes

Arthur herzog jr. / irene kitchings

I'm pulling trough and it's because of you!
When i was stranded came your helping hand
Lonely, hurt i had not known which way to turn
'til you said, "try smiles, not tears, just laugh and learn"

I'm pulling trough and it's because of you!
You made me see how lovely life could be
Lifted up my heart and made me count the cost
To find i'd gained, not lost!

When i thought that hope was really gone
You showed me i was wrong
And you taught me how to carry on
Thanks for the lift in time and thanks for this song!

I'm pulling trough and it's because of you!
I'd do the same for youif your turn came
Hope it never will
For i've been though the mill
I won't get this debt
I'm pulling trough

George and ira gershwin

Someday he'll come along
The man i love
And he'll be big and strong
The man i love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
Then in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe i shall meet him sunday
Maybe monday, maybe not
Still i'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
That's meant for two
From which i'll never roam
Who would, would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man i love

Johnny w. green / edward heyman / robert sour / frank eyton

You're making me blue
All that you do
Seems unfair
You try not to hear
Turn a deaf ear
To my prayer
It seems you don't want to see
What you are doingg to me
My arms are waiting to caress you
And to my heart they long to press you, sweet heart

My heart is sad and lonely
For you i cry
For you, dear, only
I tell you i mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul

I spend my days in longing
And wondering it's me you're wronging
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you
Body and soul

I can't believe it
It hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending
Don't say it's the ending
I wish i could have one more change to prove, dear
My life a hell your'e making
You know i'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you
Body and soul

Life's dreary for me
Day's seem to be long as years
I've looked for the sun
But can see none
Through my tears
Your heart must be like a stone
To leave me like this alone
When you could make my life worth living
By taking what i'm set on giving, sweet heart

My heart is sad and lonely
For you i cry
For you, dear, only
I tell you i mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul

Harold adamson / mack gordon / vincent youmans

Time on my hands, you in my arms
Nothing but love in view
Then if you fall, once and for all
I'll see my dreams come true
Moments to spare
With someone you care tor
One love affair for two
And so with time on my hands
And you in my arms
And love in my heart all for you

Irene wilson / arthur herzog jr.

What is this going to get us
Where are we headin' in
When do we start to i rye dear
When do we really begin

What is this going to get us
Hanging around till tour
Saying goodnight at daybreak
Kissing goodbye in the doorway

We can go on the way we've gone
I'm at the end of my rope
I can't live on love i've so much of
And i can't keep livin' on hope

What is this going to get us
Only an aching heart
When is this going to get us
Together never to part

Sammy cahn / saul chaplin

You're a lucky guy when you consider

The gleam in your eyes
You're a lucky guy
Thank you lucky stars
You've got a honey who wants no money
She'll take you just as you are
Thank you lucky stars
Hey fellow, say fellow
Don't you realise it's fated, you rated
Open up your eyes

You're just beginning so have your inning
And let your troubles boom by
No one can deny you're a lucky guy

Hey fellow, say fellow

So why not treasure your highest pleasure
And live right up till you die
No one can deny boy
You're a lucky guy
