1. _ My Funny Valentine
Writer(s): rodgers/hart
My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
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 smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine's day
Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine's day

2. _ At Long Last Love
Writer(s): porter
Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what i feel the real mccoy?
Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it granada i see or only asbury park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long last love?
Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup, or is it merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what i feel the real mccoy?
Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it granada i see or only asbury park?
Is it a fancy, not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long long long last love?

3. _ It Happened In Monterey
Writer(s): wayne/rose
It happened in monterey, a long time ago
I 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, and without thinking twice
I left her and through away, the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheart
That i left in old monterey

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance madame with you
My heart won't let me feet do things that they should do
You know what, you're lovely you know what, you're so lovely
And you know what you do to me

5. _ You Make Me Feel So Young
Writer(s): myrow/gordon
You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung
Every time i see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and i, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when i'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way i do today
'cause you make me feel so young

6. _ One For My Baby
one for my baby (from "duets")
Writer(s): johnny mercer/harold arlen
It's quarter to three,
There's no one in the place 'cept you and me
So set 'em' up joe
I got a little story i think you oughtta know
We're drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine
Put another nickel in that there machine
I'm feeling so bad
Won't you make the music easy and sad
I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it
But buddy i'm a kind of poet
And i've got a lot of things i wanna say
And if i'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's all, all talked away
Well, that's how it goes
And joe i know you're gettin' anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that i found
It's gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

7. _ Hey Jealous Lover
Writer(s): cahn/walker/twomey
Hey! jealous lover
You're acting so strange
Hey! jealous lover
What is making you change
Hey! jealous lover
How wrong can you be
I'm yours ever faithful
Just be faithful to me
I am just as steady - as that clock on the shelf
Maybe you're accusing me of - what you're doing yourself
Hey! jealous lover
I'm telling you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you
Could have cheated lots of times - but just couldn't do
I was much to busy baby - being faithful to you
Hey! jealous lover
I'm telling you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you
- no one for me - jealous lover but you

8. _ A Foggy Day
A foggy day,
In london town,
It had me low,
And it had me down
I viewed the morning,
With much alarm,
The british museum,
Had lost its charm
How long i wondered,
Could this thing last,
But the age of miracles,
It hadn't past
And suddenly,
I saw you standing right there
And in foggy london town,
The sun was shining everywhere

9. _ Just One Of Those Things
Writer(s): cole porter
It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
If we'd thought a bit before the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

10. _ Lady Is A Tramp, The
Writer(s): rodgers/hart
She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She loves the theater, but doesn't come late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's o'k
She hates california, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to harlem, in lincolns or fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp

11. _ Oh! Look At Me Now
I'm not the guy who cared about love
And i'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill i could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I'm a new man better than casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why i'm so proud i'm bustin' my vest
So i'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes i'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
I'm not the guy who cared about love
And i'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
And i never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill i could get form your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I'm a new man better than casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud i'm bustin' my vest
So i'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes i'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
Look at me now!

12. _ When Your Lover Has Gone
Writer(s): swan
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

13. _ Tender Trap, The
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

14. _ Violets For Your Furs
It was winter in manhattan, falling snow flakes filled the air,
The streets were covered with a film of ice,
But a little simple magic that i learned about somewhere,
Changed the weather all around, just within a thrice.
I bought you violets for your furs and it was spring for a while, remember?
I bought you violets for your furs and there was april in that december.
The snow drifted down and the flowers, and that is where it lay.
The snow looked like dew and the blossoms as on a summer day.
I bought you violets for your furs and there was blue in the wintry sky,
You pinned my violets to your furs and gave a lift to the crowds passing by,
You smiled at me so sweetly, since then one thought occurs,
That we fell in love completely, the day i bought you violets for your furs.

15. _ I Get A Kick Out Of You
Writer(s): porter
Verse:
My story is much to sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception i know is the case
When i'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Then i suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face
Chorus:
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That i get a kick out of you
Some like the perfume from spain
I'm sure that if i took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
But i get a kick out of you
( some like the bop-type refrain )
( i'm sure that if, i heard even one riff )
( it would bore me terrifically too )
( but i get a kick out of you )
( some they may go for cocaine )
( i'm sure that if, i took even one sniff )
( it would bore me terrifically too )
( but i get a kick out of you )
I get a kick every time i see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see, you obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But i get a kick out of you

16. _ Glad To Be Unhappy
Writer(s): rodgers/hart
Look at yourself, if you had a sense of humor
You would laugh to beat the band
Look at yourself, do you still believe the rumor
That romance is simply grand?
Since you took it right on the chin
You have lost that bright toothpaste grin
My mental state is all a-jumble
I sit around and sadly mumble
Fools rush in, so here i am
Very glad to be unhappy
I can't win, but here i am
More than glad to be unhappy
Unrequited love's a bore
And i've got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It's a pleasure to be sad
Like a straying baby lamb
With no mammy and no pappy
I'm so unhappy
But oh, so glad!

17. _ I've Got You Under My Skin
i've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should i try to resist, when baby will i know than well
That i've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time i do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before i begin
'cause i've got you under my skin

18. _ They Can't Take That Away From Me
Writer(s): george and ira gershwin
There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May i list a few
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
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 they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But 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 they can't take that away from me
