1. _ 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 more free lyrics |
2. _ Give It Back To The Indians
Old Peter Minuet had nothing to lose when he bought the isle of Manhatten For twenty-six dollars and a bottle of booze and they threw in the Bronx and Staten Pete thought that he had the best of the bargin but the poor red man just grinned, And he grunted "ugh!" meaning okay in his jargon for he knew poor Pete was skinned. We've tried to run the city....but the city ran away... And now Peter Minuet We can't continue it... Broadway's turning into Coney, Champagne Charlie's drinking gin, Old New York is new and phony Give it back to the Indians! Two cents more to smoke a Lucky, Dodging busses keep you thin, Now New York is simply ducky, Give it back to the Indians! Take all the reds, on the boxes made for soap Whites on Fifth Avenue Blues down in Wall Street losing hope.. Big bargain today...Chief take it away! Come you busted city slickers, Better take it on the chin Father Nick has lost his knickers Give it back to the Indians! instrumental break Take all the reds, on the boxes made for soap Whites on Fifth Avenue Blues down in Wall Street losing hope.. Big bargain today...Chief take it away! Come you busted city slickers, Better take it on the chin Father Nick has lost his knickers Give it back to the Indians! more free lyrics |
3. _ Easy To Love
I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time In thinking such a thing could be That you could ever care for me I'm sure you hate to hear That I adore you, dear But grant me Just the same I'm not entirely to blame For love You'd be so easy to love So easy to idolize All others above So worth the yearning for So swell to keep every homefire burning for We'd be so grand at the game So carefree together That it does seem a shame That you can't see Your future with me 'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love more free lyrics |

5. _ Early Autumn
When an early autumn walks the land and chills the breeze and touches with her hand the summer trees, perhaps you'll understand what memories I own. There's a dance pavilion in the rain all shuttered down, a winding country lane all russet brown, a frosty window pane shows me a town grown lonely. That spring of ours that started so April-hearted, seemed made for just a boy and girl. I never dreamed, did you, any fall would come in view so early, early. Darling if you care, please, let me know, I'll meet you anywhere, I miss you so. Let's never have to share another early autumn. more free lyrics |
6. _ By Strauss
Away with the music of Broadway Be off with your Irving Berlin Oh I give no quarter to Kern or Cole Porter And Gershwin keeps pounding on tin How can I be civil when hearing this drivel It's only for nightclubbin' souses Oh give me the free 'n' easy waltz that is Vienneasy and Go tell the band If they want a hand The waltz must be Strauss's Ya, ya ya, give me oom-pa-pah When I want a melody Lilting through the house Then I want a melody By Strauss It laughs, it sings, the world is in rhyme Swinging to three-quarter time Let the Danube flow along And the Fledermauss Keep the wine and give me song By Strauss By Jove, by Jing, by Strauss is the thing So I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus! Just give me your oom-pa-pah, by Strauss! (bridge) Let the Danube flow along And the Fledermauss Keep the wine and give me song By Strauss By Jove, by Jing, by Strauss is the thing So I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus!

7. _ A-Tisket A-Tasket
A-tisket a-tasket A green-and-yellow basket I bought a basket for my mommie On the way I dropped it I dropped it, I dropped it Yes, on the way I dropped it A little girlie picked it up And took it to the market She was truckin' on down the avenue Without a single thing to do She was peck, peck, peckin' all around When she spied it on the ground A-tisket a-tasket She took my yellow basket And if she doesn't bring it back I think that I shall die (Was it red?)

8. _ Come Rain Or Come Shine
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you Come rain or come shine High as a mountain, deep as a river Come rain or come shine I guess when you met me It was just one of those things But don't you ever bet me 'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me Come rain or come shine We'll be happy together, unhappy together Now won't that be just fine The days may be cloudy or sunny We're in or out of the money But I'm with you always I'm with you rain or shine more free lyrics |
9. _ But Not For Me
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've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play - could guarantee I was a fool to fall - and get that way Hi ho alas and also lackaday Although I can't dismiss The memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me (bridge) I was a fool to fall - and get that way Hi ho alas and also lackaday Although I can't dismiss The memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me more free lyrics |
10. _ Misty
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree; And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud, I can' t understand I get misty, just holding your hand. Walk my way, And a thousand violins begin to play, Or it might be the sound of your hello, That music I hear, I get misty, the moment you're near. Can't you see that you're leading me on? And it's just what I want you to do, Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost That's why I'm following you. On my own, When I wander through this wonderland alone, Never knowing my right foot from my left My hat from my glove I'm too misty, and too much in love. Too misty, And too much In love..... more free lyrics |
11. _ Bewitched
After one whole quart of brandy Like a daisy, I'm awake With no Bromo-Seltzer handy I don't even shake Men are not a new sensation I've done pretty well I think But this half-pint imitation Put 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 He is cold I agree He can laugh, but I love it Although the laugh's on me I'll sing to him, each spring to him And long, for the day when I'll cling to him Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I He's a fool and don't I know it But a fool can have his 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 half-pint imitation Put me on the blink I've sinned a lot, I'm mean a lot But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I I'll sing to him, each spring to him And worship the trousers that cling to him Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I When he talks, he is seeking Words to get, off his chest Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best Vexed again, perplexed again Thank God, I can be oversexed again Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I Wise at last, my eyes at last, Are cutting you down to your size at last Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more Burned a lot, but learned a lot And now you are broke, so you earned a lot Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more Couldn't eat, was dispeptic Life was so hard to bear Now my heart's antiseptic Since you moved out of there Romance, finis.

13. _ Change Partners
Must you dance every dance with the 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? 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. 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. more free lyrics |

I fetch his slippers, fill up the pipe he smokes I cook the kippers, laugh at his oldest jokes Yet here I anchor, I might have had a banker Boy! what love has done to me His nature's funny, quarrelsome half the time And as for money, he hasn't got a dime And here's the joker, I might have had a broker Boy! what love has done to me When a guy looks my way Does he get emphatic, say he gets dramatic? I just wanna fly 'way But if I left him I'd be all at sea I'm just a slavey, life is a funny thing He's got the gravy, I got a wedding ring And still I love him, there's nobody above him Boy! what love has done to me His brains are minus, Never a thought in sight And yet his highness Lectures me day and night; Oh where was my sense To sign that wedding licence? Boy! What love has done to me! My life he's wrecking, bet you could find him now Out somewhere necking somebody else's frau You get to know life when married to a low life Boy! what love has done to me I can't hold my head up The butcher, the baker, oh no he's a faker Brother I am fed up But if I left him he'd be up a tree Where will it wind up, I don't know where I'm at I make my mind up, I oughta leave him flat But I have grown so, I love that dirty so-and-so Boy! what love has done to me. more free lyrics |

17. _ As Long As I Live
Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to. Life isn't long enough baby, but I can love you as long as I live. Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to, But I can promise you, baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live. I never cared, but now I'm scared, I won't live long enough.

Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live. musical interlude I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow I'm gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu, And that would never never do What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to.

18. _ Blue Room
We'll have a blue room A new room for two room Where ev'ry day's a holiday Because you're married to me. Not like a ballroom A small room, A hall room Where I can smoke my pipe away With your wee head upon my knee.

You sew your trousseau And Robinson Crusoe Is not so far from worldly cares As our blue room far away upstairs! more free lyrics |

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm That pit-a-pats through my brain; So darn persistent, The day isn't distant When it'll drive me insane. Comes in the morning Without any warning, And hangs around me all day. I'll have to sneak up to it Someday, and speak up to it. I hope it listens when I say: Refrain: Fascinating Rhythm, You've got me on the go! Fascinating Rhythm, I'm all a-quiver. When a mess you're making! The neighbours want to know Why I'm always shaking Just like a flivver. Each morning I get up with the sun - Start a-hopping, Never stopping - To find at night no work has been done. I know that Once it didn't matter - But now you're doing wrong; When you start to patter I'm so unhappy. Won't you take a day off? Decide to run along Somewhere far away off - And make it snappy! Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be! Fascinating rhythm, On won't you stop picking on me? more free lyrics |

Oh my dear it's so easy to see, Don't you know I do, don't I show you I do, Just as you love me. Will I leave you, never? Could the ocean leave the shore? Will I worship you forever?

40. _ Autumn In New York
[Ella]
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel - I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
[Louis]
Autumn in New York
The gleaming rooftops at sundown
Oh, Autumn in New York
It lifts you up when you run down
Yes, jaded rou

51. _ Every Time We Say Goodbye
Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little, Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little, Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know. Think so little of me, they allow you to go. When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it, I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it, There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to minor, Everytime we say goodbye. When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it, I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it, There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to minor, Everytime we say goodbye. more free lyrics |

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.

The world is lyrical Because a miracle Has brought my lover to me Though she's some other place, her face I see At night I creep in bed And never sleep in bed But look above in the air And to my greatest joy, my love is there She dances overhead On the ceiling near my bed In my sight All through the night I try to hide in vain Underneath my counterpane But there's my love up there above I whisper, "Go away, my lover It's not fair" But I'm so grateful to discover That she's still there I love my ceiling more Since it is a dancing floor Just for my love more free lyrics |

Oh, it really wasn't my intention To disregard convention It was just an impulse That had to be obeyed.

74. _ Begin The Beguine
When they begin the beguine It brings back the sound of music so tender, It brings back a night of tropical splendor, It brings back a memory ever green. I'm with you once more under the stars, And down by the shore an orchestra's playing And 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 part. What moments divine, what rapture serene, Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted, And 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 ember; Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember When they begin the beguine. Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play Till the stars that were there before return above you, Till you whisper to me once more, Darling, I love you! And we suddenly know What heaven we're in, When they begin the beguine more free lyrics |

After one whole quart of brandy Like a daisy, I'm awake With no Bromo-Seltzer handy I don't even shake Men are not a new sensation I've done pretty well I think But this half-pint imitation Put 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 He is cold I agree He can laugh, but I love it Although the laugh's on me I'll sing to him, each spring to him And long, for the day when I'll cling to him Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I He's a fool and don't I know it But a fool can have his 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 half-pint imitation Put me on the blink I've sinned a lot, I'm mean a lot But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I I'll sing to him, each spring to him And worship the trousers that cling to him Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I When he talks, he is seeking Words to get, off his chest Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best Vexed again, perplexed again Thank God, I can be oversexed again Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I Wise at last, my eyes at last, Are cutting you down to your size at last Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more Burned a lot, but learned a lot And now you are broke, so you earned a lot Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more Couldn't eat, was dispeptic Life was so hard to bear Now my heart's antiseptic Since you moved out of there Romance, finis.

77. _ Ev'rything I've Got
VERSE 1 Don't stamp your foot at me, It's impolite To stamp your foot at me Is not quite right. At man's ingratitude A woman winks, But such an attitude just stinks. REFRAIN 1 I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks. I have words that do not come from children's books there's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do And ev'rything I've got belongs to you. I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist, And the perfect wrist to give your neck atwist. There are hammerlock holds, I've mastered a few, And ev'rything I've got belongs to you. Share for share, share alike, You get struck each time I strike. You for me- me for me- I'll give you plenty of nothing. I'm not yours for better but for worse, And I've learned to give the well-known witches' curse. I've a terrible tongue, a temper for two, And ev'rything I've got belongs to you. VERSE 2 Don't raise your voice at me, That's very rude. To raise your voice at me Is rather crude. It's wrong essentially when woman yells, And confidentially, it smells. REFRAIN 2 I'll converse with you on politics at length, I'll protect you with my superhuman strength. If you're ever attacked I'll scream and say , "Boo!'' And ev'rything I've got belongs to you. I will never stray from home, I'll just stay put, 'Cause I've got a brand-new thing called athlete' s foot. I'm a victim of colds, anemia, too, And ev'rything I've got belongs to you. Off to bed we will creep, Then we'll sleep and sleep and sleep Till the birds start to peep. I'll give you plenty of nothing. I'll be yours forever and a day If the first good breeze does not blow me away. You're enough for one man, that's why I'll be true, And ev'rything I've got belongs to you. ENCORE You may have some things that I can't use at all. When I look at you, your manly gifts are small. I've a wonderful way of saying adieu, And ev'rything I've got belongs to you. You won't know how good I am until you try And you'll let my well of loneliness run dry. I've a marvelous way of telling you no, And ev'rything I've got belongs to you. And ev'rything you want belongs to me! And ev' rything you need belongs to me! REPRISE VERSE Life has no shape or form And no design. It isn't life without That fool of mine. I used to gad about With any chap And now I'm sad about my sap. REFRAIN He's a living thing that isn't quite alive, He has brains enough for any child of five. Oh, he isn't too rich in vigor and vim, But ev'rything I've got belongs to him. He's a naughty brat that can't be left alone. He has eyes for ev'ry skirt except my own. Even under a tree, he grabs for the limb, But ev'rything I've got belongs to him. Something beats in his chest, But it's just a pump at best. I'm for him, he's for him. He gives me plenty of nothing. When I see that funny face, I know Something scared his mother twenty years ago. But I'll never let go, he'll never be free! Till ev'rything he's got belongs to me! CODA And ev'rything I've got belongs to him! And ev'rything I've got belongs to us! more free lyrics |
78. _ Cheek To Cheek
Heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven And the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb a mountain And reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill (boot) 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 (Come on and) Dance with me I want my arm(s) about you That (Those) charm(s) about you Will carry me through... (Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging) Out together dancing cheek to cheek more free lyrics |
79. _ Anything Goes
Times have changed And we've often rewound the clock Since the Puritans got a shock When they landed on Plymouth Rock. If today, any shock they should try to stem, 'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock would land on them. In olden days a glimpse of stocking Was looked on as something shocking Now heaven knows, anything goes Good 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 gigolos So though I'm not a great romancer I know that you're bound to answer When I propose, anything goes more free lyrics |
80. _ Boy Wanted
Verse: I've just finished writing an advertisement Calling for a boy. No half-hearted Romeo or flirt is meant; That's the kind I'd not employ. Though anybody interested can apply, He must know a thing to qualify. For instance: Refrain 1: Teddy: He must be able to dance. he must make life a romance. I said a boy wanted, One who can smile; Boy wanted, Lovable style. He must be tender and true, And he must know how to woo. I know we'll get acquainted mighty soon, Out in a garden 'neath a harvest moon; And if he proves to be the right little laddie, I'll make him glad He'll answer my ad! Refrain 2: Toots: To be the boy of my choice, He needn't own a Rolls Royce. The kind of boy wanted* Needn't have gold; Boy wanted, Mustn't be cold. If he has oodles of charm, I'll even life on a farm. if he fits into my picture of a home, I'll be so nice he'll never have to roam.** Yes, if he proves to be the right little laddie, I'll make him glad He answered my ad. Refrain 3: Babe: He must like musical shows, And he must wear snappy clothes. Yes, that is my story, And to it I'll stick; There's no glory In having a hick. He must know how to say "Yes!"*** When I look at a new dress. Oh, I'll be ready when the right one calls, And I'll start vamping him until he falls; And if he subsidises me, oh, sweet daddy! I'll make him glad He answered my ad! Refrain 4: Bunny: The movies he must avoid, He'll know his Nietzsche and Freud. I said a boy wanted, One who knows books; Boy wanted Needn't have looks. He must be such a saint, But, Oh! he dassent say 'ain't.' I don't care if his bankroll totals naught, For we can live on love and food for thought. If he's a scholar, when I see him I'll holler, 'My lad, I'm glad You answered my ad!' *Alternative version of this line: 'The sort of boy wanted' ** Alternative version of this line: 'I'll be so nice he'll never care to roam' *** Alternative version of refrain 3, lines 7-8: 'And so his boots mustn't squeak; And he must love like a sheik.' Primrose Version: Verse: I've just finished writing an advertisement Calling for a boy. No half-hearted Romeo or flirt is meant; That's the kind I won't employ. Though anybody interested can apply, He must know a thing to qualify. For instance: Refrain 1: To have a ghost of a chance, He must be able to dance. The sort of boy wanted Must have a smile Boy wanted, Lovable style. He must be tender and true, And if he knows what to do, I think I'll learn to love him very soon; I'll want him morning, night and afternoon. So if you know of one who's wanting employment, Just tell him that I'm wanting a boy! Refrain 2: To be the boy of my choice, He's got to own a Rolls Royce. He must be quite reckless Buying me things: Pearl necklace, Diamond rings. He must be ready to pay A dozen bills ev'ry day. I'll simply smothing him with tender care If I could find a multimillionaire. So if you could seen one dining at the Savoy-oh! Just tell him I'm wanting a boy! Refrain 3: I won't have anyone small, He must be handsome and tall. I said a boy wanted, Beautifully dressed; Boy wanted, Trousers well pressed. He must have wonderful eyes; He must wear wonderful ties. I want a boy who'll always look as though He's only just come out of Savile Row. So if some Paris wants a Helen of Troy-oh! Just tell him that I'm wanting a boy. more free lyrics |
81. _ Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me
Do nothing till you hear from me Pay no attention to what's said Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream Is over my head Do nothing till you hear from me At least consider our romance If you should take the word of others you've heard I haven't a chance True, I've been seen with someone new But does that mean that I'm untrue? While we're apart, the words in my heart Reveal how I feel about you Some kiss may cloud my memory And other arms may hold a thrill But please do nothing till you hear it from me And you never will! more free lyrics |
82. _ All Through The Night
The day is my enemy, the night my friend, For I'm always so alone Till the day draws to an end. But when the sun goes down And the moon comes through, To the monotone of the evening's drone I'm all alone with you. All through the night, I delight in your love, All through the night, you're so close to me. All through the night, from a height far above, You and your love brings me ecstasy. When dawn comes to waken me You're never there at all. I know you've forsaken me, Till the shadows fall. But then once again I can dream, I've the right To be close to you All through the night. more free lyrics |

84. _ A Foggy Day
I was a stranger in the city Out of town were the people I knew I had that feeling of self-pity What to do, what to do, what to do The outlook was decidedly blue But as I walked through the foggy streets alone It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known A foggy day, in London town Had me low, had me down I viewed the morning, with much alarm British Museum, had lost its charm How long I wondered, Could this thing last But the age of miracles, hadn't past For suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London town, The sun was shining everywhere For suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London town, The sun was shining everywhere Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere more free lyrics |
