1. _ 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.]

2. _ Nothing In Common
<both> we've got nothin', got nothin' in common, just nothin' in common
<keely> my darling, at all
<keely> i love the opera, i detest the best pop
<frank> can't stand the opera, i like music that bops
<keely> we're not fated, not heaven-created
<frank> we're really mis-mated, our chances are small
<both> let's part, be real smart and not start with this romance
<keely> 'cause outside of both having stars in our eyes
<frank> and outside of sighing the same kind of sighs
<both> we've got nothin' in common at all
<instrumental>
<both> we've got nothin', got nothin' in common, just nothin' in common
<frank> it never could last
<frank> i love picasso, he's all style and he's all flair
<keely> i've seen picasso and i think he's a square
<keely> our two goals are apart as the poles are
<frank> as lovers our roles are completely miscast
<both> let's make a clean break and not take any chances
<frank> 'cause outside of thinking you're something divine
<keely> and outside of wanting your lips close to mine
<both> we've got nothin' in common
<both> we've got nothin' in common at all
Spoken by frank: "waiter, separate checks."

3. _ Day In, Day Out
Writer(s): mercer/bloom
Day in - day out
That same old voodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart, whenever i think of you
And baby i think of you
Day in and day out
Day out - day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When i awake i get up with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you
Come rain - come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then i kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
When there it is, day in - day out

4. _ Just In Time
Writer(s): comden/green/styne
I was resting comfortably, face down in the gutter
Life was serene, i knew where i was at
"there's no hope for him," my dearest friends would mutter
I was something dragged in by the cat. then ...
Just in time
I found you just in time
Before you came my time
Was running low
I was lost
The losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed
Nowhere to go
Now you're here
And now i know just where i'm going
No more doubt or fear
'cause i found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And saved my lonely life
That lovely day

5. _ Baubles, Bangles And Beads
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles and beads
You'll glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so that
Some day he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that's where it leads
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
<instrumental>
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, all those bright, shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
You'll, you'll glitter and gleam so
You're gonna make somebody dream so that
Some day he may, he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that that's where it leads
If you're wearin' baubles bangles and them cool, cool beads

6. _ It All Depends On You
Writer(s): desylva/brown/henderson
Lovers depend on moonlight for a love affair
Babies depend on mothers for their tender care
Flowers depend on sunshine, and the morning dew
Each thing depends on something, and i depend on you
I can be happy, i can be sad
I can be good, i can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, i can be proud
It all depends on you
I can save money, or spend it
Go roght on living, or end it
You're to blama, baby, for what i do
I know that i can be beggar, i can be king
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you
Isn't it sweet to know, dear, you can help me on?
Wouldn't it hurt, to know, dear, all my hopes were gone?
Wouldn't it make you proud, dear, if i made a name?
But if i failed to win, dear, would you want all the blame?

7. _ Cheek To Cheek
Writer(s): irving berlin
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

8. _ Something's Gotta Give
When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no, because i insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gotta be kissed
So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store?
>from their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that i adore
But how long can anyone try?
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
<instrumental>
Fight fight fight it with all of your might
Chances are that some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Spoken: aww, let's tear it up!

9. _ Song Is You, The
Writer(s): kern/hammerstein
I hear music when i look at you;
A beautiful theme of ev'ry
Dream i ever knew.
Down deep in my heart i hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I hear music when i touch your hand;
A beautiful melody
>from some enchanted land.
Down deep in my heart, i hear it say,
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't i let it go,
Why can't i let you know,
Why can't i let you know the song
My heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true -
The song is you.

10. _ I Could Have Danced All Night
Writer(s): lerner/loewe
I could have danced all night, i could have danced all night
And still have danced some more
I could have spread my wings, and done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
But all at once my heart took flight
I only know that she, began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, all night

11. _ Too Close For Comfort
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's so close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
<instrumental>
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, much too close
She's much too close for comfort now

12. _ Dancing In The Dark
Writer(s): schwartz/dietz
Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and we're gone
Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, i have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
What - though love is old
What - though song is old
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Wailin' all the time
Dear one, tell me that we're one
Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, i have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark, dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark

13. _ The Same Old Song And Dance
It's just the same old song and dance, the same old song and dance,
Turns out you never cared at all, turns out you bound me like a ball,
Whoever thought i'd fall for the same old song and dance,
It's just the same old smooth routine, the same old moonlit scene,
Turns out you only used those eyes simply to tell me all those lies,
I really went king-size for the same old song and dance.
Me with a built-in radar, me with a cushion hard,
Winding up number one on the all-time loser's card.
I should forget you but i won't, should hate you but i don't,
It didn't turn out like i planned but if you smile and wave your hand,
I'd go out and hire a band, and wait for one more chance,
At the same old song and dance.
(instrumental)
It didn't turn out just like i planned,
But if you smile and wave your lily white hand,
I'd go out and hire a band, then wait for one more chance,
At the same old, same old song and dance.

14. _ Last Dance, The
It's the last dance, we've come to the last dance
They're dimming the lights down, they're hoping we'll go
It's obvious they're aware of us, the pair of us
Alone on the floor
Still i want to hold you like this forever and more
It the last song, they're playing the last song
The orchestra's yawning, they're sleepy i know
They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave
Keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
And save me the first dance in your dreams tonight

15. _ How Are Ya' Fixed For Love
<frank> how are ya fixed for moonlight ?
How are ya fixed for stars?
<keely> how are you fixed for kissin' ?
While we listen to soft guitars?
<frank> how are ya fixed for someone to watch the rain with?
<keely> to stroll down the lane with
<frank> for someone to just go a little insane with?
<keely> how are you fixed for mem'ries ?
Mem'ries that shine so bright?
<frank> if we let fancy take us
We could make us a few tonight
<keely> how are ya fixed for someone who'll fit your arms like a glove?
<both> hey, tell me, baby, how are you fixed for love?
(brief instrumental)
<frank> how are ya fixed for kissin' while we dig those wild guitars?
<keely> how are ya fixed for someone to sit and tan with ?
<frank> to worry and plan with ?
<both> for someone to dine right from out of a can with?
<frank> how are ya fixed for mem'ries, mem'ries that glow so bright?
<keely> ooh, if we let cupid rack up, we could knock us a few tonight
<frank> how are ya fixed for someone who'll fit your arms like a glove?
<both> hey, tell me, baby how are you fixed for
Tell me baby, how are you fixed for
Tell me, baby, how are you fixed for love?

16. _ Saturday Night (is The Loneliest Night Of The Week)
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
'cause that's the night that my sweetie and i
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don't mind sunday night at all
'cause that's the night friends come to call
And monday to friday go fast
And another week is past
But saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that i sang for the memories i usually seek
Until i hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Mmmm... saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that i sang for the memories i usually seek
Until i hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Until i hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
