1. _ 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

2. _ I Won't Dance
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 sould do
You know what, you're lovely you know what, you're so lovely
And you know what you do to me
I´m like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance, you're chairming and you're gentle
Specially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, i'm not asbestos
And that's why i won't dance, why sould i?
I won't dance, how could i?
I won't dance, merçi beacoup
I know that music lead the way to romance
So if i hold you in arms i won't dance
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 want to do
You know what, you're so lovely, ring a ding-ding, you're lovely
And you know what you do to me
I´m like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance, you're chairming and you're gentle
Specially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, i'm not asbestos
And that's why i won't dance, i won't dance
I won't dance, merçi beacoup
I know that music lead the way to romance
So if i hold you in arms i won't dance

3. _ Nice Work If You Can Get It
Writer(s): author; gershwin/gershwin
Verse:
The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love and you won't regret it
That's the best work of all, if you can get it
Chorus:
Holding hands at midnight
'neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It's nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?

4. _ Pennies From Heaven
Writer(s): johnny burke, arthur johnston
Every time it rains,
It rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune's falling
All over the town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So when you hear it thunder don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

5. _ My Kind Of Girl
She walks like an angel walks,
She talks like an angel talks,
And her hair has a kind of curl,
To my mind, she's my kind of girl.
She's wise like an angel's wise,
With eyes like an angel's eyes,
And a smile like a kind of pearl,
To my mind, she's my kind of girl.
A pretty little face,
That face just knocks me off my feet,
A pretty little feet,
She's really sweet enough to eat.
She looks like an angel looks,
She cooks like an angel cooks,
And my mind in a kind of whirl,
To my mind, she's my kind of girl.
(full instrumental interlude)
Hmmm, pretty little face,
That face just knocks me off my feet,
Pretty little feet,
She's really sweet enough to eat.
She looks like an angel looks,
And she cooks like an angel cooks,
And my mind in a kind of whirl,
To my mind, she's my kind of girl.
Yes, my poor heart's in a whirl,
She's just my kind, she's a girl.
And i'm glad.

6. _ 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

7. _ I Only Have Eyes For You
Writer(s): warren/dubin
My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you
And dear, i wonder if you find love
An optical illusion, too?
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'cause i only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But i can't see a thing in the sky
'cause i only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am i
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And i only have eyes for you

8. _ Please Be Kind
Writer(s): cahn/chaplin
This is my first affair - please be kind
Handle my heart with care - please be kind
This is all so grand
My dreams are on parade
If you'll just understand
They'll never, never fade
So tell me your love's sincere - please be kind
Tell me i needn't fear - please be kind
'cause if you leave me dear, i know my heart - will lose its mind
If you love me - please be kind

9. _ I'm Going To Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter
Writer(s): ahlert/young
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad i got 'em
I'm gonna smile and say: "i hope you're feeling better"
And close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit (right) down and write myself a letter
(and make believe it came, though i know it's not the same)
And (i'll) make believe (that) it came from you

10. _ Looking At The World Thru Rose Colored Glasses
Looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Looking at the world and everything that passes,
Seems of rosy hue somehow.
Why do i feel surprise, don't wink your eyes,
Needn't guess i'll confess, certain someone just said yes.
In a bungalow all covered with roses, i will settle down i vow,
That's why i'm looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
(full instrumental interlude)
Oh yes, i'm looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Looking at the world and everything that passes,
Seems of rosy hue somehow.
Why do i feel surprise, don't wink your eyes,
Needn't guess i'll confess, certain someone just said yes.
In a bungalow all covered with roses, i will settle down i vow,
That's why i'm looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Yes, everything is rosy now.
