1. _ Learnin' The Blues
Writer(s): delores silvers
The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light - one after another
Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues
When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
You just can't forget her - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the (those) blues

2. _ High Hopes
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam
'cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop

3. _ Nice 'n' Easy
Writer(s): spence/keith/bergman
Let's take it nice and easy
It's gonna be so easy
For us to fall in love
Hey baby what's your hurry
Relax and don't you worry
We're gonna fall in love
We're on the road to romance - that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way
The problem now of course is
To simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime
'cause nice and easy does it every time

4. _ Same Old Saturday Night
Writer(s): cahn/reardon
Went to see a movie show
Found myself an empty row
Thought the show was just alright
Same old saturday night
Then i made the usual stop
Coffee at the coffee shop
Friendly face nowhere in sight
Same old saturday night
I really thought - the papers i bought
Would help me forget you for a while
Believe me honey - the funnies weren't funny
They didn't even make me smile
How i wish you'd lift the phone
Fun is fun - but not alone
'til you let me hold you tight
Same old saturday night
Only your face - can help me erase
That same old saturday night

5. _ All The Way
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure i'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way

6. _ Chicago
Writer(s): fischer
Chicago, chicago that toddling town
Chicago, chicago i'll show you around - i love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in chicago
The town that billy's sunday could not shut down
On state street that great street i just want to say
They do things that they don't do on broadway - say
They have the time the time of their life
I say a man and he danced with his wife
In chicago, my home town

7. _ Witchcraft
those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And i've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do
'cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, i know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one i wouldn't switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you

8. _ Melody Of Love
Writer(s): engelmann/glazer
Hold me in your arms dear - dream with me
Cradled by your kisses - tenderly
While a choir of angels - from above
Sing our melody of love
Heart to heart forever - lips entwined
I am yours - and you are mine
Heaven wrote the music - up above
For our melody of love

9. _ How Little We Know
Writer(s): springer/leigh
How little we know
How much to discover
What chemical forces flow
From lover to lover
How little we understand - what touches of that tingle
That sudden explosion - when two tingles intermingle
Who cares to define
What chemistry this is
Who cares with your lips on mine
How ignorant bliss is
So long as you kiss me - (and) the world around us shatters
How little it matters - how little we know
(how little we know, how little we know,...)

10. _ Young At Heart
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way
Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it's much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

11. _ 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

12. _ South Of The Border
Writer(s): kennedy/carr
South of the border - down mexico way
That's where i fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
And now as i wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down mexico way
She was a picture - in old spanish lace
Just for a tender while, i kissed a smile - upon her face
'cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then i lied as a whispered "manjanna"
'cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - i jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that i musn't stay
South of the border - mexico way

13. _ I'm Walking Behind You
Writer(s): reid
I'm walking behind you - on your wedding day
And i'll here you promise - to love and obey
Though you may forget me - you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder - i'm walking behind
Maybe i'll kiss again - with a love that's new again
But i shall wish again - i was kissing you
'cause i'll always love you - where ever you go
And though we are parted - i want you to know
That if things go wrong dear - and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder - i'm walking behind

14. _ Love And Marriage
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This i tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one without the other

15. _ Don't Worry 'bout Me
Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along
Just you forget about me
Be happy my love
Just say that our little show is over
And so the story ends
Why not call it a day, the sensible way
And we'll remain friends
Look out for yourself
Should be the rule
Just give your heart and your love, to whom ever you love
Don't you be a fool
Baby why stop and cling, to some fading thing
That used to be
So if you can't forget
Don't you worry 'bout me

16. _ 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

17. _ I've Got The World On A String
Writer(s): harold arlen/t. koehler
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - i'm in love
I've got a song that i sing
I can make the rain go
Any time i move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see - i'm in love
Life's a beautiful thing
As long as i hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If i should ever let her go

18. _ Three Coins In The Fountain
Writer(s): styne/chan
Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless
Three hearts it a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of rome
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a valentine
Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine

19. _ From Here To Eternity
You vowed your love
From here to eternity
A love so true,
It never would die
You gave your lips
Gave them so willingly
How could i know
Your kiss meant goodbye?
Now i'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...
Though you are gone
This love that you left with me
Will live from here to eternity.
Now i'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...
Though you are gone
This love that you left with me
Will live...
From here to eternity.
