1. _ 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!

2. _ 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

3. _ 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

4. _ 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

5. _ 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

6. _ 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

7. _ 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

8. _ 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

9. _ 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

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. _ 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

12. _ Come Fly With Me
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use, some exotic booze
There's a bar in far bombay
Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away
Come on, fly with me, let's float down to peru
In lama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come on fly with me, we'll float down in the blue
Once i get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry eyed
Once i get you up there, i'll be holding you so near
You may here, angels cheer - because were together
Weather wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words, and we'll beat the birds
Down to acapulco bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come on, fly with me, lets fly lets fly away

13. _ Someone To Watch Over Me
Writer(s): gershwin/gershwin
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So i'm going to seek a certain lad i've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair i cannot forget
Only man i ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody i'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know i could always be good
Someone who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me

14. _ In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning
Writer(s): mann/hilliard
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all

15. _ 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

17. _ Come Dance With Me
Verse:
There are three new movies op'ning tonight,
A baseball game, a championship fight,
A big band concert under the stars,
And a rodeo, midget racing cars,
For some gals and gents the above events
Hold their own vicarious charms,
But i'd rather go to a place i know,
Where i can hold you in my arms!
Chorus:
Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me,
Come dance with me, what an evening for some terpsichore.
Pretty face, i know a swingin' place, so come dance with me,
Romance with me on a crowded floor.
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things i'll be sayin',
For what is dancing but making love set to music, playin'.
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam,
As we wing home, cheek to cheek we'll be,
Come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
[repeat, but instead substitute the following words line 1:
Dancin/basie, line 5: lovely/cuckoo, line 8: wing/waltz and the first
3 "come on"'s in the last line are repeated.]

18. _ Night And Day
Writer(s): cole porter
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
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 shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, 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
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

19. _ 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

20. _ Put Your Dreams Away
Writer(s): lowe/weiss/mann
Put your dreams away for another day
And i will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then i'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
