1. _ You're Just A No Account
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

2. _ I'm All For You
Bresler / wynn
Let our friends say what they want to say
If i'm wrong i'll be the one to pay
No matter if it's true
You'll find that i'm all for you
Let the cards predict we'll drift apart
And the stars forfeit of broken heart
No matter it they do
You'll find that i'm all for you
I only know come what may
You'll always find me by your side
I may be a fool
Time alone will decide
Let them all say that it's just a game
And i'm sure to lose
But just the same no matter if i do
You'll find that i'm all for you

3. _ Night And Day
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

4. _ I Hear Music
Frank loesser / burton lane
I hear music
Mighty fine music
The murmur of a morning breeze up there
The rattle of the milkman on the stair
Sure that's music
Mighty fine music
The singing of a sparrow in the sky
The perking of the coffee right near by
That's my favorite melody
You my angel, phoning me
I hear music
Mighty fine music
And anytime i think my world is wrong
I get me out of bed and sing this song

5. _ Them There Eyes
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

6. _ Ghost Of Yesterday
Irene wilson / arthur herzog jr.
Ghost of yesterday
Stalking 'round my room
All night long you stay
Walk around profound gloom
When the darkness falls
When i've gone to bed
Weirdly come your calls
Mournfully, scornfully dead
Folly of a love i strangled
Pulsing heart i thought was gone
Gives no peace
Will not cease
Prowling 'round till dawn
Ghost of yesterday
Every night you're here
Whispering away
"might have been, might have been, oh, my dear"
Foolish heart must pay
Ghost of yesterday
Yesterday

7. _ I'm Pulling Through
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

9. _ The Man I Love
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

10. _ Body And Soul
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

11. _ It's The Same Old Story
M. field / n. oliphant
The same old story
It's as old as the stars above
The same old story
Of a boy and a girl in love
The scenes say more moonlight
The times say more june light
Romance's the thing
Two hearts away deep in a dream
The same old story
It's been told much too much before
The same old story
But it's worth telling just once more
It's all fun and laughter
They lived ever after in ecstacy
The same old story but it's new to me

Nick kenney / charles f. kenney / c. todd / b. todd
Don't mind the rain drops
Wait till the rain stops
Smile through your tears, laughing at liife
No road is lonely, if you will only
Lose all your blues laughing at life
Live for tomorrow, be happy today

Lose all your blues laughing at life

Nothing but love in view

14. _ Practice Maker Perfect
D. roberts / e. gold
If practice makes perfect
Let's try that old embrace
In some romantic place
Where we can take out time
If practice makes perfect
Just close you eyes again
We'll try those sights again
And make them more sublime
We're in love's kindergarden
Learning from a to z
And if it's fun just starting
Think what it's going to be
If practice makes perfect
Let's have that kiss again
We must'n miss again
We're not doing bad right now
We're not doing bad
Let's practice some more
We're not doing bad right now

15. _ What Is This Going To Get Us?
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

16. _ Falling In Love Again
F. hollander / s. lerner
Failing in love again
Never wanted to
What am i to do?
Can't help it
Love's always been my game
Play it as i may
I was born that way
Can't help it
Men flock around me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know i'm not to blame
I'm falling
Can't help it

17. _ You're A Lucky Guy
Sammy cahn / saul chaplin
You're a lucky guy when you consider
The highest bidder can't buy
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 lucky guy
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
Look at mr. jones
He's there and he's staring
Even he must know
You're a lucky guy
So why not treasure your highest pleasure
And live right up till you die
No one can deny boy
You're a lucky guy

18. _ Tell Me More And More (and Then Some)
Billie holiday
Tell me more and more and then some
You know what i long to hear
I want more and more and then some
Of that "i love you only dear"
Tell me more and more and then some
The way that you feel and then
When you've told that old sweet story
And you're through, start right in again
I've made that old mistake
Know the awful ache
Of a heart that's double crossed
The waitin's been so long
Hard to believ'in
If i've missed my guess, happiness is lost
Tell me more and more and then some
You know how i love that stuff
Whisper on from now
'til doomsday
But i never will hear enough
Tell me more and more and then some
The way that you feel and then
When you've told that old sweet story
And you're through, start right in again
I've made that old mistake
Know the awful ache
Of a heart that's double crossed
The waitin's been so long
Hard to believ'in
If i've missed my guess, happiness is lost
Tell me more and more and then some
You know how i love that stuff
Whisper on from now
'til doomsday
But i never will hear enough
