1. _ Right as the Rain
Right as the rain
That falls from above
So real, so right
Is our love
It came like the spring
That breaks through the snow
I can't say what it may bring
I only know, I only know
It's right to believe
Whatever gave your eyes this glow,
Whatever gave my heart this song
Can't be wrong
It's right as the rain
That falls from above
And fills the world with the bloom
Of our love
As rain must fall
And day must dawn,
This love, this love
Must go on

2. _ A Sleepin' Bee
When you're in love and you are wonderin'
If he really is the one,
There's an ancient sign sure to tell you
If your search is over and done
Catch a bee and if he don't sting you,
You're in a spell that's just begun
It's a guarantee 'til the end of time
Your true love you have won, have won
When a bee lies sleepin'
In the palm of your hand,
You're bewitched and deep in
Love's long looked after land
Where you'll see a sun-up sky
With a mornin' dew
And where the days go laughin' by
As love comes a-callin' on you
Sleep on, bee, don't waken
Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the takin'
I'm so happy at last
Maybe I dreams, but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee done told me
I'll walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found, has found

3. _ 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
The fairy tale I read when I was so high
No armored knight out of a book
Could find a more enchanted Lorelei
Than I
After waiting so long for the right time,
After reaching so long for a star,
All at once from a long and lonely night time
And despite time, here you are
I'd cry, "Out of this world"
If you said we were through
So, let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two
With you
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
I'd cry, "Out of this world"
If you said we were through
So, let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two
With you
With you
With you
With you

4. _ Over the Rainbow
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway,
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullabye
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday, I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why, then, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can't I?

5. _ My Shining Hour
This moment, this minute
And each second in it
Will leave a glow upon the sky
And as time goes by, it will never die
This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
In my dreams, your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night
Like the lights of home before me
Or an angel watching o'er me
This will be my shining hour
'Til I'm with you again

6. _ Come Rain or Come Shine
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me,
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

7. _ Don't Like Goodbyes
Don't like goodbyes, tears, or sighs
I'm not too good at leavin' time
I got no taste for grievin' time
No no, not me
You've been my near ones, always my dear ones
I never thought that I would find
Another love, a different kind
But it came to be
Well, if you think I'm tellin' you lies,
Go try your luck and look into his eyes
But remember, you must remember he's mine
And my world overhead has a clear new shine
Don't want to leave you, sorry to grieve you
It's travelin' time and I must move on
Found the man to lean upon
And if I could arrange it,
Oh, would I care to change it, not me

8. _ Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home
Free and easy, that's my style
Howdy-do me, watch me smile
Fare-thee-well me after a while
'Cause I gotta roam
And any place I hang my hat is home
Sweetenin' water, cherry wine
Thank you kindly, suits me fine
Kansas City, Caroline
That's my honeycomb
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go, and the goin' proves
That's how it oughta be
I pick up too when the spirit moves me
SAXOPHONE SOLO
Cross the river, 'round the bend
Howdy stranger, so long friend
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
That keeps whisp'ring, "Roam!"
I'm going where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home

9. _ It's Only a Paper Moon
Say, it's 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
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

10. _ Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead
Once, there was a Wicked Witch
In the lovely land of Oz
And a wickeder, wickeder, wickeder,
Wickeder Witch, there never was
She filled the folks in Munchkinland
With terror and with dread
'Til one fine day from Kansas way,
A cyclone caught a house that brought
The Wicked, Wicked Witch her doom
As she was flying on her broom
For the house fell on her head
And the coroner pronounced her dead
And through the town, the joyous news was spread
Ding dong! The Witch is dead
Which old witch, the Wicked Witch!
Ding dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up, you sleepy-head
Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead
She's gone where the goblins go, below
Below, below, yo-ho
Let's open up and sing
And ring the bells out
Ding dong! The merry-oh
Sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!
SCATTING INTERLUDE
Ding dong! The Witch is dead
Which old witch, the Wicked Witch!
Ding dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up, you sleepy-head
Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Ding dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
She's gone where the goblins go, below
Below, below, yo-ho
Let's open up and sing
And ring the bells out
Ding dong! The merry-oh
Sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!
SPOKEN:
She's dead!

11. _ Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive/Get Happy
You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And e-lim-i-nate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between
You got to spread joy up to the maximum
And bring gloom down to the minimum
And have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark,
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark,
What did they do just when everything looked so dark?
Man, they said we better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And e-lim-i-nate that negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between
'Cause we're headin' 'cross the river,
Wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side
Forget your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon, get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shinin', c'mon, get happy
The Lord is waitin' to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon, get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land
'Cause we're headin' 'cross the river,
Wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side
Forget your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon, get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
Get ready for the judgment day
Get ready for the judgment day

12. _ Let's Take a Walk Around the Block
I never traveled further North than old Van Courtland Park
And never further South than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City, but first, let me remark
I saw it from the Empire State solarium
But I've been putting nickels in the postal savings bank
And when those nickels pile up, we can toddle off in swank
And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
I mean a cabin de-luxe tour
Someday, we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant
But at present,
Let's take a walk around the block
I give you my promise
We'll visit St. Thomas
And then, at the Virgins, we'll dock
The Virgins can wait, sir
It grows late, sir
Let's take a walk around the block
Gangway, we'll begin
When our ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap
All over the map
To London in May time
To Venice in play time
To Paris in time for a frock
To Boston in bean time
Darling, meantime,
Let's take a walk around the block
SCATTING INTERLUDE
Gangway, we'll begin
When our ship comes in
You'll sit on my lap
All over the map
We'll send the folks cables,
Accumulate labels,
Buy souvenirs 'til we're in hock
Right now, we are flat in
Old Manhattan,
Let's take a walk around the block
Let's take a walk around the block

13. _ The Man that Got Away/Stormy Weather/Blues
Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of his, you're on to -
But fools will be fools, and where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher
With hope, you burn up
Tomorrow, he may turn up
There's just no let-up
The livelong night and day
Ever since this world began,
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman
Looking for the man that got away
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all the time
When he went away,
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away,
Old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
My mama done tol' me
When I was in pigtails,
My mama done tol' me,
"Hon, a man's gonna sweet-talk
And give ya the big eye,
But when the sweet talkin's done,
A man is a two-face,
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night"
Now, the rain's a-fallin',
Hear the train a-callin, "Whooee!"
My mama done tol' me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
My mama done tol' me
Ah-whooee-ah-whooee
Ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back
The blues in the night
The evenin' breeze will start
The trees to cryin'
And the moon will hide its light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word
The mockingbird'll sing
The saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
Whooee-ooh
Whooee-ooh
From Natchez to Mobile,
From Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow
I' been in some big towns
I heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night
Whooee-ooh
Whooee-ooh
My mama was right
I know she was right
There's blues in the night
