1. _ Meet Me At The Copa
The statue in the harbor is a lovely sight,
The rockettes in precision are a sheer delight,
But i for one would rather visit john mcknight,
Meet me at the copa, meet me at the copa,
Meet me at the copa tonight.
There are those who just adore the art museum,
And out in brooklyn, there's a ballpark and it seems,
But i don't care a whole lot if i never zeem,
Meet me at the copa, meet me at the copa,
Meet at the copa tonight.
The show goes on, and on, and on,
Do you hear the applause and the cheering,
Even if you're wooing, drop what you're doing,
Hurry down to see what you're hearing.
On 52nd street, they now have burleque,
And you count the effervescence and the view,
But all that stuff that squares is my advice to you,
Meet me at the copa, meet me at the copa,
Meet at the copa tonight.
<musical interlude>
Now some of you may like to go to movie shows,
Or walk along fifth avenue to view the clothes,
But here's the place that's famous for geriatric nose,
Meet me at the copa, meet me at the copa,
Meet at the copa tonight.
You'll see the nicest people in the nicest cars,
They constantly use the lounge across the lovely bars,
And it's the spot where stars come just to see the stars,
Meet me at the copa, meet me at the copa,
Meet at the copa tonight.
The show goes on, and on, and on,
Do you hear the applause and the cheering,
Even if you're wooing, drop what you're doing,
Hurry down to see what you're hearing.
The most amazing club in town you will admit,
It's imitated quite a lot but this is it.
And if you want to see where the new acts hit,
Meet me at the copa, meet me at the copa,
Meet at the copa tonight.

2. _ Lover
Writer(s): rodgers/hart
Lover, when i'm near you, and i hear you - speak my name
Softly, in my ear you - breathe a flame
Lover, it's immoral, but why quarrel - with our bliss
When, two lips of coral - want to kiss
I say (that) the devil is in you, and to resists you - i try
But if you didn't continue - i would die
Lover, please be tender, when you're tender - fears depart
Lover, i surrender - to my heart

3. _ Nevertheless
Writer(s): kalmar & ruby
I knew the time had to come
When i'd be held under your thumb
I'm like a pawn in your hand
Moved and compelled, at your command
Whether it's for bad or for good
I would never change it if i could
Maybe i'm right, maybe i'm wrong
Maybe i'm weak, maybe i'm strong
But nevertheless i'm in love with you
Maybe i'll win, maybe i'll lose
And maybe i'm in for cryin' the blues
But nevertheless i'm in love with you
Somehow, i know at a glance, the terrible chances i'm taking
Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe i'll live a life of regret, and maybe i'll give much more than i get
But nevertheless, i'm in love with you
In spite of all i could do
I went ahead falling for you
So if i laugh or i cry
I made my bed, that's where i'll lie
For what happens there's no excuse
I put my own head in the noose

4. _ 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

5. _ Should I?
Should i reveal exactly how i feel?
Should i confess i love you?
Should i recite beneath the pale moonlight?
And swear by the stars above you?
Could i repeat the sweetest story told?
Could i entreat, would it be too bold?
Should i reveal 'xactly how i feel?
Should i confess i love you?
<jazz instrumental>
Could i repeat that sweetest story told?
Could i entreat, would it be too bold?
Should i reveal 'xactly how i feel?
Should i confess i love you?
And swear by stars above you?
Should i confess i love you?

Writer(s): simons
All of me - why not take (come on get) all of me
Can't you see - i'm no good (just a mess) without you

7. _ Bye Bye Baby
Bye bye baby,
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye.
Although i know that you care,
Won't you write and declare
That though on the loose,
You are still on the square.
I'll be gloomy,
But send that rainbow to me,
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while,
I know that i'll be smiling with my baby,
By and by.
(bye, bye baby, so long!)
Bye bye baby (just you remember that you're my baby when.)
When they give you the eye.
(and although we know that you care,
You just write and declare)
That though on the loose,
You are still on the square.
I'll be gloomy (gloomy),
But send that rainbow to me.
(then the shadows will fly)
Though you'll be gone for a while,
I know that i'll be smiling <with my baby by and by>
With my baby by and by (bye, bye baby)

8. _ The Hucklebuck
It's the dance you should know,
When the lights are down low,
Grab your baby,
Then go,
Do the hucklebuck,
Do the hucklebuck,
If you don't know how to do it,
Boy,
You're out of luck,
Push your partner out,
Then you hunch your back,
Have a little movement in your sacroiliac,
Wiggle like a snake,
Wobble like a duck,
That's the way you do it when you do the hucklebuck

9. _ The Continental
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
It's something daring, the continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra-new
It's very subtle, the continental
Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance
You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, ooh, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and so sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with her and she's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the continental all the time
<brief instrumental>
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the continental all the time
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
The continental!

10. _ My Blue Heaven
Whippoorwills call, evenin' is nigh
Hurry to my blue heaven
Turn to the right, there's a little white light
Will lead you to my blue heaven
You'll see a smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room
Little nest that nestles where the roses bloom
Molly and me, and the baby makes three
We're happy in my, in my blue heaven
<instrumental>
You're gonna see a smilin' face, fireplace, cozy room
And a little nest nestled where the roses bloom
Just molly and me, and the baby is three
We're so happy in my blue heaven
We're happy in my blue heaven
We're happy in my blue heaven!

11. _ You Do Something To Me
Writer(s): porter
I was mighty blue
Thought my life was through
'til the heavens opened
And i gazed at you
Won't you tell me, dear
Why, when you appear,
Something happens to me
And the strangest feeling goes through me?
You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
You have the power to hypnotize me?
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
That nobody else could do

12. _ It's Only A Paper Moon
Writer(s): rose/harburg/arlen
I never feel a thing is real
When i'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a barnum and bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

13. _ 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?

14. _ Farewell, Farewell To Love
Farewell, farewell to love,
She's gone and i'm through with love.
My schemes, my dreams of heaven are gone since she went away.
Her lips, her eyes,
Her touch are the things that i'll miss so much.
Her style, her smile so thrilling,
Are joys of a sweeter day.
Sun is shining so lovely,
Days as bright as can be,
Sun keeps shining so lovely,
But that sun ain't shining for me.
So farewell, farewell to love,
She's gone, there's no sun above.
I've news of blues that got me,
I've lost, that's the cost of love.
(musical interlude)
Farewell, farewell to love,
She's gone and i'm through with love.
My schemes, my dreams of heaven are gone since she went away.
Sun is shining so lovely,
Days as bright as can be,
Sun keeps shining so lovely,
But that sun ain't shining for me.
So farewell, farewell to love,
She's gone, there's no sun above.
I've got news of blues that got me,
I'm oh so sad, i feel so bad.
I've lost, that's the cost of love.

15. _ 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

16. _ There's Something Missing
There's something missing in the way you say hello,
Baby, your words don't have that feeling any more,
Every time you hold me in your arms,
It seems we're miles apart.
Am i the one you're holding in your heart?
There's something missing in the way your lips touch mine.
Baby, i miss the flame that came with every kiss.
Is it only my imagination at play
That tells me that there is someone new,
Or must i really go on missing you?
<musical interlude>
Is it only my imagination at play
That tells me that there is someone new,
Or must i really go on missing you?

17. _ I've Got A Crush On You
How glad the many millions of annabelles and lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome romeo
How i won you i shall never never know
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'cause i have got a crush on you
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage
That we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'cause i have got a crush, my baby, on you
