1. _ Summertime
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is fine
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So, hush, little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings,
You're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But till the morning,
There's a-nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by

2. _ Love Walked In
Love walked right in
And drove the shadows away
Love walked right in
And brought my sunniest day
One magic moment
And my heart seemed to know
That love said hello
Though not a word was spoken
One look
And I'd forgot the gloom of the past
One look
And I had found my future at last
One look
And I had found a world completely new
When love walked in with you

4. _ 'S Wonderful
'S wonderful, 's marvelous
You should care for me
'S awful nice, 's paradise
'S what I love to see
You've made my life so glamorous
You can't blame me for feeling amorous
Oh, 's wonderful, 's marvelous
That you should care for me

5. _ Stiff Upper Lip
What made good Queen Bess
Such a great success?
What made Wellington do
What he did at Waterloo?
What makes every Englishman
A fighter through and through?
It isn't roast beef or ale or home or mother
It's just a little thing they sing to one another
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
Carry on, old fluff
Chin up, keep muddling through
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
When the going's rough
Pip pip to old man trouble
And a toodly-oo too
Carry on through thick and thin
When you feel you're in the right
Does the fighting spirit win?
Quite quite quite quite quite
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
When you're in a stew
Sober or blotto, this is your motto
Keep muddling through
SCATTING INTERLUDE
When a bounder starts to hiss,
You must give him blow for blow
Make the blighter say, "What's this?
'Ullo 'ullo 'ullo 'ullo 'ullo"
Stiff upper lip, stout fella
When you're in a stew
Sober or blotto, this is your motto
Keep muddling through
Keep muddling through
Keep muddling through

6. _ I Got Rhythm
I got rhythm
I got music
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies
In green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?

7. _ By Strauss
Away with the music of Broadway
Be off with your Irving Berlin
No, I give no quarter to Kern or Cole Porter
And Gershwin keeps pounding on tin
How can I be civil when hearing that drivel?
It's only for night-clubbing souses
Just give me the free-'n'-easy waltz, that is Vienneasy and
Go tell the band if they want a hand,
The waltz must be Strauss's
Ja ja ja, give me oom-pa-pah
When I want a melody
Lilting through the house
Then I want a melody
By Strauss
It laughs, it sings, the world is in rhyme
Swinging in three-quarter time
Let the Danube flow along
And the Fledermauss
Keep the wine and give me song
By Strauss
By Jove, by Jing, by Strauss is the thing
So, I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus!
Just give me an oom-pa-pah by Strauss!
OPERATIC SCATS OF TUNES BY STRAUSS
Let the Danube flow along
And the Fledermauss
Keep the wine and give me song
By Strauss
By Jove, by Jing, by Strauss is the thing
So, I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus!
Just give me an oom-pa-pah by Strauss!

8. _ Naughty Baby
Naughty baby
Naughty baby
Who will tease you
I can show the way
And know the way
To please you
If you're wanting a beginner,
I shan't do
I could make a saint a sinner
When I want to
If you find
The simple kind
Are rather slow, dear,
Then you ought to try
A naughty one
You know, dear
But you'll never meet another
Who will be
A naughty baby, naughty baby
Just like me
If you want a girl who's sentimental,
One who'll never set you in a whirl,
One who will be always sweet and gentle,
I am not that sort of girl
But if you prefer a rather swift one,
If you think you'd like to run around
With a bright one,
I am just the right one
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
If you find
The simple kind
Are rather slow, dear,
Then you ought to try
A naughty one
You know, dear
But you'll never meet another who will be
A naughty baby, naughty baby just like
Naughty baby, naughty baby just like
Naughty baby, naughty baby just like me

10. _ The Man I Love
Someday, he'll come along, the man I love
And he'll be big and strong, the man I love
And when he comes my way,
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
And in a little while, he'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still, I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good-news day
He'll build a little home just meant for two
From which I'll never roam, who would, would you?
And so all else above,
I'm waiting for the man I love
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still, I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good-news day
He'll build a little home just meant for two
From which I'll never roam, who would, would you?
And so all else above,
I'm waiting for the man I love

11. _ Clap Yo' Hands
Clap-a yo' hands, slap-a yo' thigh
Halleluyah, halleluyah
Ev'rybody, come along and join the jubilee
Clap-a yo' hands, slap-a yo' thigh
Don'tcha lose time, don'tcha lose time
Come along, it's shake-yo'-shoes time
Now for you and me
Oh, I got no lock on my door
That's no way to be
See, they can steal the rug from my floor
That's okay with me
'Cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the skies
They're all free

12. _ Embraceable You
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you,
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you

14. _ Little Jazz Bird
I'm a little jazz bird
And I'm telling you to be one too
For a little jazz bird
Is in heaven when she's singing blue
I say this with regret
But you're out of date
You ain't heard nothin' yet
Till you syncopate
When the going gets rough,
You will find your troubles all have flown
If you warble your stuff
Like the moaning of a saxophone
Just try my recipe
And I'm sure you'll agree
That a little jazz bird
Is the only kind of bird to be
SCATTING
When the going gets rough,
You will find your troubles all have flown
If you warble your stuff
Like the moaning of a saxophone
Just try my recipe
And I'm sure you'll agree
That a little jazz bird
That a little jazz bird
That a little jazz bird
Little jazz bird, little jazz bird
Is the only bird to be

15. _ Somebody Loves Me
It seems there's none for me although
My aching heart discovers
In a story play or picture show,
A host of perfect lovers
The first of all was Romeo
That passion isn't cool yet
This world would have a rosy glow
If I had been his Juliet
For Antony, I'd learn to care
Ah, he was strong and graceful
If other lovers held two pair
That fellow held an aceful
Somebody loves me
I wonder who
I wonder who he can be
Somebody loves me
I wish I knew
Who can he be worries me
For ev'ry boy who passes me,
I shout, "Hey! Maybe
You were meant to be my loving baby"
Somebody loves me
I wonder who
Maybe it's you
At one time, Harold Lloyd, I thought,
Was grand in every flashback
To see him, oh, the seats I bought
I wish I had the cash back
'Twas big Bill Hart who took his place
He's Western and he's classy
He had an open space's face
And oh, girls, what a chassy!
Then, Jackie Coogan came along
He had the other shown-up
And to him, I will sing my song
As soon as he is grown up
Somebody loves me
I wonder who
I wonder who he can be
Somebody loves me
I wish I knew
Who can he be worries me
For every boy who passes me,
I shout, "Hey! Maybe
You were meant to be my loving baby"
Somebody loves me
I wonder who
Maybe it's you

16. _ Strike Up the Band
Let the drums roll out
Let the trumpets call
While the people shout,
"Strike up the band!"
Let the cymbals ring
Callin' one and all
While the saxes swing
Strike up the band
There is work to be done, to be done
There are songs to be sung, to be sung
Hey, you son-of-a-, son-of-a-gun
Here's a plan
Come along, yea a bow
Get it on, let's go
Hey, leader, say, leader
Hey, leader, strike up the band!

17. _ Fascinating Rhythm
Fascinating rhythm,
You've got me on the go
Fascinating rhythm,
I'm all a-quiver
What a mess you're making
The neighbors want to know
Why I'm always shaking
Just like a flivver
Each morning, I wake up with the sun,
Start a-hopping, never stopping
To find at night no work has been done
I know that once it didn't matter
But now, you're doing wrong
When you start to patter,
I'm so unhappy
Won't you take a day off?
Decide to come along
Somewhere far away off
And make it snappy
Oh, how I long to be the girl I used to be
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm
Fascinating rhythm,
Stop picking on me

18. _ They All Laughed
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
They told Marconi wireless is a phony
It's that same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you,
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now, they'll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho ho ho!
Who's got the last laugh...?
Hee hee hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha ha ha!
Who's got the last laugh now?

19. _ (I've Got) Beginner's Luck
For I've got beginner's luck
The first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you
Gosh, I'm lucky
I've got beginner's luck
There never was such a smile
Or such eyes of blue
Gosh, I'm fortunate
This thing we've begun
Is much more than a pastime
For this time is the one
Where the first time is the last time
I've got beginner's luck
Lucky through and through
For the first time that I'm in love
I'm in love
First time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you

20. _ A Corner of Heaven With You
In a cozy, little four-by-two
With an angel half as sweet as you,
I'd live contently
Oh, how happy I'd be
That old landlord comin' 'round for rent
Couldn't put a dent in my content
Love's what the poet meant
Who'll write our heaven
Oh, the kisses that you'd give to me
I would use to sweeten up my tea
I'd sit upon your knee
Paradise, it would be
And oh, the billing and cooing
That I would be doing
In that corner of heaven with you
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
And oh, the billing and cooing
That I would be doing
In that corner of heaven with you

Nohow

If you ain't goin', wid you I'm stayin'
Porgy, I's yo' woman now

From dis minute I'm tellin' you
I keep dis vow:

22. _ Things Are Looking Up
Things are looking up
I've been looking the landscape over
Now, it's covered with four-leaf clover
Oh, things are looking up
Since love looked up at me
Bitter was my cup
But no more will I be the mourner
For I've certainly turned the corner
Oh, things are looking up
Since love looked up at me
See the sunbeams
Every one beams
Just because of you
Love's in session
And my depression
Is unmistakably through
Things are looking up
It's a great little world we live in
Oh, I'm happy as a pup
Since love looked up at me

23. _ How Long Has This Been Going On?
'Neath the stars at bazaars,
Often I've had to caress men
Five or ten dollars then,
I'd collect from all those yes-men
Don't be sad, I must add
That they meant no more than chess-men
Darling, can't you see
'Twas for charity?
Though these lips have made slips,
It was never really serious
Who'd have thought I'd be brought
To a state that's so delirious?
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been going on?
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, oh I repeat
How long has this been going on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt
As into heaven, I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?

24. _ Love Is Here to Stay/Of Thee I Sing
The more I read the papers,
The less I comprehend
The world and all its capers
And how it all will end
Nothing seems to be lasting
But that isn't our affair
We have something permanent
I mean in the way we care
Of thee I sing, baby
Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby
You're my silver lining
You're my sky of blue
There's a lovelight shining
Just because of you
Of thee I sing, baby
You have got that certain thing, baby
Shining star and inspiration
Worthy of a mighty nation
Of thee I sing

25. _ They Can't Take That Away from Me
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No no, they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
Oh no, they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
Oh no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
