1. _ Too Marvelous For Words
Writer(s): r. whiting/j. mercer
You're just to marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the phrase
That says enough, tells enough
I mean just aren't swell enough
You're much too much, and just too very very
To ever be, to ever be in the dictionary
And so i'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words

2. _ 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

3. _ She's Funny That Way
I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
Just glad i'm livin' and happy to be
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
She'd never holler, she'd live in a tent
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
Though she'd love to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if i went away
But why should i leave her, why should i go?
She'd be unhappy without me, i know
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
<very brief instrumental>
When i hurt her feelin's once in a while
Her only answer is one little smile
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way

4. _ 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

5. _ Goody, Goody
Writer(s): mercer/malneck
So you met someone who set you back on your heals - goody, goody
You met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody
You gave him your heart too
Just as i gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces
Now how do you do
You lie awake just singing the blues all night - goody, goody
And you think that loves a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
You had it coming to y'a
Goody goody for him, goody goody for me
I hope your satisfied you rascal you
I hope your satisfied 'cause you got yours

6. _ A Foggy Day
A foggy day,
In london town,
It had me low,
And it had me down
I viewed the morning,
With much alarm,
The british museum,
Had lost its charm
How long i wondered,
Could this thing last,
But the age of miracles,
It hadn't past
And suddenly,
I saw you standing right there
And in foggy london town,
The sun was shining everywhere

7. _ Out Of This World
You're clear out of this world when i'm looking at you
I hear out of this world, the music that no mortal ever knew.
You're right out of a book,
A fairy tale i read when i was so high.
No armored knight out of a book
Was more enchanted by a lorelei than i,
After waiting so long for the right time,
After reaching so long for a star,
All at once, from the long and lonely night time
And despite time, here you are.
I'd cry out of this world, if you said you were through.
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you.

8. _ When You're Smiling
When you're smilin', when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughin', when you're laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through
But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop that cryin', be happy again
Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're smilin', when you're smilin'
The whole world, it smiles with you
When you're laughin', oh babe, when you're laughin'
The sun would-a come shining through
But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop that sighin', come on and be happy again
Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin', baby
The whole world smiles with you

9. _ 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

10. _ 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

11. _ Me And My Shadow
Writer(s): dave dreyer - al jolson - billy rose
(this is the duet with sammy davis, jr.)
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you'll never get rid of me
Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.
Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhound's ?????
Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog when it clings to l.a.
We're closer than bobby is to j.f.k.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue
And when it's sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy new year!
Me and my shadow
And now to repeat what i said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at jilly's right after toot's shore
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me!
Say frank?
What is it, sam?
Do me a favor?
What do you want, now?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time?
From the top?
No! from the ending!
Wonderful!
And while we are swinging, to mention a few
We'll drop in at danny's, the little club too
But wind up at jilly's, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(wow!)
For my shadow and me!
Frank?
Oh, forget it sam.

12. _ An Evening In Roma
como e` bella ce` la luna brille e` strette
Strette como e` tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di roma
Down each avenue or via, street or strata
You can see'em disappearing two by two
On an evening in roma
Do they take'em for espresso
Yeah, i guess so
On each lover's arm a girl i wish i knew
On an evening in roma
Though there's grining and mandolining in sunny italy
The beginning has just begun when the sun goes down
So please meet me in the plaza near your casa
I am only one and that's one too few
On an evening in roma
Don't know what the country's coming to
But in rome do as the romans do
Will you on an evening in roma
Como e` bella ce` la luna brille e` strette
Strette como e` tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di roma
Don't know what the country's coming to
But in rome do as the romans do
Will you on an evening in roma
Sott'er celo de roma
On an evening in roma

13. _ When Your Lover Has Gone
Writer(s): swan
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

14. _ What Kind Of Fool Am I
What kind of fool am i, who never fell in love?
It seems that i'm the only one i have been thinking of.
What kind of man is this? an empty shell, a lonely cell
In which an empty heart must dwell?
What kind of lips are these that lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
Why can't i fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then i'll know what kind of fool i am.
What kind of clown am i? what do i know of life?
Why can't i cast away the mask of play and live my life?
Why can't i fall in love, till i don't give a damn?
And maybe i'll know what kind of fool i am.

15. _ I Can't Give You Anything But Love
I can't give you anything but love, baby,
That's the only thing i've plenty of, baby.
Dream awhile, scheme awhile, we're here to find
Happiness and i guess, all those things you've always pined for.
Gee, i'd like to see you looking swell, baby,
Diamond bracelets woolworth doesn't sell, baby.
Till that lucky day you know darn well, baby,
I can't give you anything but love.

16. _ I Left My Heart In San Francisco
The loveliness of paris seems somehow sadly gay,
The glory that was rome is just another day,
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in manhattan,
I'm going home to my city by the bay.
Chorus: i left my heart in san francisco, high on a hill it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.
The morning fog may chill the air, i don't care.
My love waits there in san francisco, above the blue and windy sea,
When i come home to you, san francisco, your golden sun will shine for me.

17. _ You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You
Writer(s): morgan/stock/cavanaugh
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king, you might possess, the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness, when you're growing old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love

18. _ Birth Of The Blues, The
Writer(s): desylva/brown/henderson
Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diff'rent tune
One that they could croon
As only they can
They only had the rhythm
So they started swaying to and fro
They didn't know just what to use
That is how the blues really began
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start of the blues
And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail
And they played that
As part of the blues
From a whippoorwill
Out on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn
'til it was worn
Into a blue note
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it
And gave out the news
That the southland gave birth to the blues!

19. _ Volare (nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu)
Volare, oh oh, cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let's fly way up to the clouds, away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that i know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh oh, e contare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno cosi non ritorni mai piu
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito
Volare, oh oh, e contare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lassu
E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiu
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me
Volare, oh oh, e cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lassu
(this is the english version)
Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears,
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears,
But you and i have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us.
Volare, oh, oh! cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let's fly way up in the clouds,away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that i know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh, oh! cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings, your love has given me wings
(this is the italian version)
Penso che un sogno cosþ non ritorni mai pi-
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu

20. _ 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
