1. _ Let Me Try Again
Writer(s): anka/cahn/caravelli
I know i said that i was leaving
But i just couldn't say good-bye
It was only self-deceiving
To walk away from someone who
Means everything on earth to you
You learn with every lonely day
I've learned, and now i'm (i've come) back to stay
Let me try again - let me try again
Think of all we had before - let me try once more
We can have it all - you and i again
Please forgive me or i'll die - let me try again
I was such a fool to doubt you
To try to go it all alone
There's no sense to life without you
Now all i do is just exist
And think about the chance i've missed
To beg is not an easy task
(but) pride is such a foolish mask
Let me try again - let me try again
Think of all we had before - let me try once more
We can have it all - you and i again
Please forgive me or i'll die - (please) let me try again

2. _ My Way
and now, the end is near;
And so i face the final curtain.
My friend, i'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which i'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, i've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what i had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, i'm sure you knew
When i bit off more than i could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and i stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, i've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think i did all that;
And may i say - not in a shy way,
"no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows i took the blows -
And did it my way!

3. _ Angel Eyes
Writer(s): dennis/brent
Hey drink up all you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The laugh and the drinks on me
Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My poor old heart ain't gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need i say that my love's mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all of you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me
Pardon me but i got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I got to find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while i disappear

4. _ 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. _ My Kind Of Town
now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may i say to each of you most gratefully
As i throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of people too
People who smile at you
And each time i roam, chicago is
Calling me home, chicago is
Why i just brim like a cload
It's my kind of town
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz
And each time i leave, chicago is
Tuggin my sleeve, chicago is
The wrigley building, chicago is
The union stockyard, chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town

7. _ Autumn In New York
Writer(s): duke
Autumn in new york
Why does it seem so exciting (inviting)
Autumn in new york
It spells the thrill of first-knighting
Shimmering clouds - glimmering crowds (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 a (the) promise of new love
Autumn in new york
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
(they) all sigh for exotic lands
(but) it's autumn in new york
It's good to live it again
This autumn in new york
Transforms the slums into mayfair
Autumn in new york
You'll need no castles in spain
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in central park
(but) it's autumn in new york
It's good to live it again
(- in new york)

8. _ It Was A Very Good Year
When i was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When i was seventeen
When i was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When i was twenty-one
When i was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When i was thirty-five
But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now i think of my life as vintage wine
>from fine old kegs
>from the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
It was a mess of good years

9. _ Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
Writer(s): croce
Now the south side of chicago
Is (it's) the baddest part of town
And if you (you're gonna) go down there, you better (just) beware
Of a man (cat) named leroy brown
Now leroy (brown) he's trouble
And he stands about six feet four
All the downtown ladies call him: "treetop lover"
The studs they call him: "sir"
(yeah) he's bad, bad leroy brown
Meanest (baddest) man (cat) in the whole damn town
Badder that old king kong
(and( (he's) meaner that a junkyard dog
Now leroy he's a gambler
And he likes (digs) his (those) fancy clothes
He likes to wave his (that) (great big / big fat) (shinny) diamond ring(s)
Under (in front of) everybody's nose
He's got a custom continental
He's got an eldorado too
He's got a 22 (32) gun in his pocket for fun
He's got a razor in his (the razor in the) shoe
(yeah) he's bad, bad leroy brown
Meanest (baddest) man (cat) in the whole damn town
Badder that old king kong
(and (he's) meaner that a junkyard dog
Now friday - 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the end (edge) of the bar, sat (was) a lady (chick) named dorris (morris)
Man she sure looked nice
And (well/then) he layed his eyes upon her
That's when the big scene (trouble soon) began
And leroy brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
With the wife of a jealous man
(yeah) he's bad, bad leroy brown
Meanest (baddest) man (cat) in the whole damn town
Badder that old king kong
(and) (he's) meaner that a junkyard dog

10. _ 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

11. _ 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

12. _ House I Live In, The
Writer(s): robinson/allen
What is america to me
A name, a map, or a flag i see
A certain word, democracy
What is america to me
The house i live in
A plot of earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher
Or the people that i meet
The children in the playground
The faces that i see
All races and religions
That's america to me
The place i work in
The worker by my side
The little town the city
Where my people lived and died
The howdy and the handshake
The air a feeling free
And the right to speak your mind out
That's america to me
The things i see about me
The big things and the small
That little corner newsstand
Or the house a mile tall
The wedding and the churchyard
The laughter and the tears
And the dream that's been a growing
For more than two hundred years
The town i live in
The street, the house, the room
The pavement of the city
Or the garden all in bloom
The church the school the clubhouse
The millions lights i see
But especially the people
- yes especially the people
That's america to me

13. _ 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
