1. _ Puttin' On The Ritz
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down park avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and narrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
Now, if you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the ritz
Different types who wear a daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fits
Puttin' on the ritz
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like gary cooper
Super-duper
Come, let's mix where rockefellers
Walk with sticks or "umberellas"
In their mitts
Puttin' on the ritz
------ short instrumental break ------
Tips his hat just like an english chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
Very snappy
You'll declare it's simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin' on the ritz

2. _ Easter Parade
In your easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the easter parade.
I'll be all in clover and when they look you over,
I'll be the proudest fellow in the easter parade.
On the avenue, fifth avenue, the photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.
Oh, i could write a sonnet about your easter bonnet,
And of the girl i'm taking to the easter parade.

3. _ Heat Wave
We're having a heat wave,
A tropical heat wave,
The temperature's rising,
It isn't surprising,
She certainly can can-can.
She started a heat wave
By letting her seat wave
In such a way that
The customers say that
She certainly can can-can.
Gee, her anatomy
Makes the mercury
Jump to ninety-three.
We're having a heat wave,
A tropical heat wave,
The way that she moves
That thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can.

4. _ Blue Skies
I was blue, just as blue as i could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do i see
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on
[2]
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what i do

5. _ Cheek To Cheek
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

6. _ Alexander's Ragtime Band
Come on and hear (2x), alexander's ragtime band,
Come on and hear (2x), it's the best band in the land!
They can play a bugle call like you never heard before,
So natural that you want to go to war--
That's just the bestest band what am, honey lamb!
Come on along (2x), let me take you by the hand
Up to the man (2x), who's the leader of the band,
And if you want to hear the swanee river played in ragtime
Come on and hear (2x), alexander's ragtime band!

7. _ I Got Lost In His Arms
Don't ask me just how it happened,
I wish i knew.
I can't believe that it's happened,
And still it's true.
I got lost in his arms, and i had to stay.
It was dark in his arms, and i lost my way.
From the dark came a voice, and it seemed to say,
"there you go, there you go."
How i felt, as i fell, i just can't recall.
But his arms held me fast and it broke the fall.
And i said to my heart as it foolishly
Kepte jumping all around.
I got lost
But look what i found.

8. _ I Love A Piano
[1st verse:]
As a child i went wild when a band played
How i ran to the man when his hand swayed
Clarinets were my pets, and a slide trombone i thought was simply
Divine
But today when they play i could hiss them
Ev'ry bar is a jar to my system
But there's one musical instrument that i call mine
[chorus:]
I love a piano, i love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
Upon a piano, a grand piano
It simply carries me away
I know a fine way to treat a steinway
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories
And with the pedal i love to meddle
When padarewski comes this way
I'm so delighted if i'm invited
To hear that long haired genius play
So you can keep your fiddle and your bow
Give me a p-i-a-n-o, oh, oh
I love to stop right beside an upright
Or a high toned baby grand
[2nd verse:]
When a green tetrazine starts to warble
I grow cold as an old piece of marble
I allude to the crude little party singer who don't know when to pause
At her best i detest the soprano
But i run to the one at the piano
I always love the accomp'niment and that's because

9. _ How's Chances?
When i want to see the boys
I know where to find the boys
I don't go through a club or two
I just find you and there are the boys
To get you alone i strive
You ask me to tea at five
I find you then with other men
And wonder when my chance will arrive
How's chances, say, how are the chances
Of making you love me the way i love you
How many young men must i fight with
To be in right with
In right with you
How's chances for one of those glances
A glimpse of the heaven i'm longing to see
How's chances to end all your romances
And start taking your chances with me
[alternate bridge:]
My castle will need some restoring
Ceiling and flooring
Furniture, too

11. _ You're Easy To Dance With
I could dance nightly
Just holding you tightly
My sweet
I could keep right on
Because you're so light on
Your feet
You're easy to dance with
There is no doubt in
The way we stand out in
The crowd
Though it's called dancing
To me it's romancing
Out loud
You're easy to dance with
Loving you
The way i do
Makes you easy to dance with
That is why i'm always right on the beat
All those charms
In one man's arms
Makes you easy to dance with
I can hardly keep my mind on my feet
Let's dance forever
Come on, say we'll never
Be through
It's so easy to dance with you

12. _ Now It Can Be Told
All the world's great lovers have been glorified
History placed them in a romantic set
In between book covers they are side by side
But the real thing hasn't been written yet
Now it can be told
Told in all its glory
Now that we have met
The world may know the sentimental story
The greatest romance they ever knew
Is waiting to
Unfold
Now it can be told
As an inspiration
Every other tale
Of boy meets girl is just an imitation
The great love story
Has never been told before
But now
Now it can be told

13. _ I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket
I've been a roaming romeo
My juliets have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything i've got on you
I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through
I've got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey
And i've decided
Love divided
In two
Won't do
So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything i've got on you
[2]
I've been a roaming juliet
My romeos have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything i've got on you
I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through
I've tried to love more than one
Finding it just can't be done
Honey
There's one i lie to
When i try to
Be true
To two
So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything i've got on you

14. _ I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm
The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But i can weather the storm!
What do i care how much it may storm?
For i've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse december
Just watch those icicles form!
Oh, what do i care if icicles form?
Oh, i've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, i'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So i will weather the storm!
What do i care how much it may storm?
Oh, i've got my love to keep me warm
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But i can weather the storm!
What do i care how much it may storm?
Oh, i've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse december
Just watch those icicles form!
What do i care if icicles form?
Oh-ho-ho, i've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, i'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So i will weather the storm!
What do i care how much it may storm?
Oh, i've got my love to keep me warm

15. _ Steppin' Out With My Baby
Here he comes lookin' for his baby
It's for sure, sure and not for maybe
Don't ask when will the lucky day be
Here he comes and let him tell you himself:
If i seem to scintillate
It's because i've got a date
A date with a package of
The good things that come with love
You don't have to ask me
I won't waste your time
But if you should ask me
Why i feel sublime
I'm
Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause i'm in right
It's for sure, not for maybe
That i'm all dressed up tonight
Steppin' out with my honey
Can't be bad to feel so good
Never felt quite so sunny
And i keep on knockin' wood
There'll be smooth sailin' 'cause i'm trimmin' my sails
With a bright shine on my shoes and on my nails
[alternate line: in my top hat and my white tie and my tails]
Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause i'm in right
Ask me when will the day be
The big day may be tonight
