This is the 2016 vocal Django Fakebook with songs that are often heard in the gypsy jazz scene (music in the style of the Quintette du Hot Club de France, also known as jazz manouche). Key features of this style are swing music (let’s dance!), fun, acoustic string instruments, jam sessions, interaction, campfire, etc. Vocal input is sometimes rare nowadays, although most songs were in fact composed for singing purposes (musical).
Some practical tips for hot club vocalists: For vocalists it is very important to memorize these songs when playing and singing in this style of music with other musicians. This document is just a tool for practicing at home! You can save this document on your smartphone, the index is a nice tool to pick songs. This document contains the basic text of all songs (one chorus). Usually you sing the lyrics at the beginning and end of a song. But always feel free to improvise on that. When singing don’t be shy. In this style you have to be forcefully and very clear. As a vocalist you are bringing the message: always look the public in the eye, stand straight up, use your arms and the rest of your body to bring your message. If you do not have a strong voice (volume), this is no problem at all! Just indicate your fellow musicians by raising and lowering your hand to bring down the volume of the band. Don’t be shy to conduct your fellow musicians. Don’t be afraid to start a song clearly count off the beat. Usually in a four-beat song this is like: one, .., two, .., one, two, three, four. Counting off is no weakness, it is the start of very important shared pleasure-time and great togetherness. If you want to sing your song in another key that is commonly used (usually for female singers, as most music was composed for male singers), always know your right key. You singing in the wrong key is always your own responsibility and mistake. Try to circumvent the beat of the music bar. Start your words before or after the beat, as a vocalist you are bouncing on the beat. Syncopation is your best friend. Some vocalists have no instrument experience. Therefore they do not know or understand the intended melody, and then they miss out the beautiful 7 and 9 notes. Try to figure out the melody with other musicians really well, listen very carefully to others. Understand the words of the song: when the words are happy, sing happy. When the words are sad, don’t be shy to be sad! Singing is acting! When drinking alcohol, your shyness might drop a bit. But your capacity to listen, to sing and to improvise drops a lot harder. Always feel free to have a beer or a glass wine, but remember: for good vocal music, being sober brings the best result. When playing with other musicians, improvisation is the key element. In jam sessions, there are never fixed arrangements. Therefore: adapt and fit in, over and over again. Most of all: enjoy what you are doing! Show and share your excitement with others. Angry, shy or boring looking musicians often play angry, shy or boring music. Joyful, swinging and happy looking musicians improve interaction and improvisation.

After You´ve Gone
After you've gone and left me crying After you've gone, there's no denying You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it There'll come a time, when you'll regret it Some day when you'll grow lonely Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only After you've gone, after you've gone away
Second part:
After I´m gone, after we break up After I´m gone, you´re gonna wake up You will find you were blind To let somebody come and change your mind
After the years we´ve been together Thought joy and tears, all kinds of weather Someday blue and downhearted You´ll long to be with me right back where you started After I´m gone, after I´m gone away
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 1 Ain't Misbehavin'
No one to walk with, all by myself No one to talk with, but I'm happy on the shelf Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain, the one I love I'm through with flirtin', it's you that I'm thinkin' of Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you
Like Jack Horner, in the corner Don't go nowhere, what do I care? Your kisses are worth waitin' for, Believe me
I don't stay out late, don't care to go I'm home about eight, just me and my radio Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 2 All Of Me
All of me, why not take all of me? Can't you see I'm no good without you? Take my lips, I want to lose them Take my arms, I'll never use them
You're good-bye left me with eyes that cry How can I get along without you? You took the part that once was my heart So why not, why not take all of me?
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 3 Almost Like Being In Love
What a day this has been What a rare mood I'm in Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel When the bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 4 Angel Eyes
Hey drink up all you people And order anything you see Have fun you happy people The drink and the laugh's on me
Try to think that love's not around Still it's uncomfortably near My poor old heart ain't gainin' any ground Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old Devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say that my love's misspent Misspent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all of you people Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The drink and the laugh's on me
Pardon me but I gotta run The fact's uncommonly clear I gotta find who's now the number one And why my angel eyes ain't here 'Scuse me while I disappear
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 5 Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves Drift by the window, The autumn leaves Of red and gold,
I see your lips, The summer kisses, The sunburned hands, I used to hold
Since you went away, The days grow long, And soon I'll hear Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling, When autumn leaves start to fall
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 6 Bei Mir Bist Du Schön
Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some Until I first met you, I was lonesome And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light And this old world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit you Deserve expressions that really fit you And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist do schön, please let me explain Bei mir bist do schön means you're grand Bei mir bist do schön, again I'll explain It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say Bella, bella, even sehr wünderbar Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist do schön So kiss me and say you’ll understand
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 7 Besame Mucho
Besame, besame mucho, Each time I cling to your kiss, I hear music divine, Besame, besame mucho, Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine.
This joy is something new, my arms enfolding you, Never knew this thrill before. Whoever thought I'll be holding you close to me, Whispering it's you I adore.
Dearest one, if you should leave me, Each little dream would take wing and my life would be through. Besame mucho, love me forever and make all my dreams come true.
Besame, besame mucho, Como si fuera esta noche la ultima vez. Besame, besame mucho, Que tengo miedo tenerte y perderte depues. Quiero tenerte muy cerca mirarme en tus ojos estar junto de ti. Pienso que tal vez mañana estarte muy lejos muy lejos de ti. Besame, besame mucho, Como si fuera esta noche la ultima vez. Besame, besame mucho, Que tengo miedo tenerte y perderte despues.
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 8 Beyond The Sea
Somewhere beyond the sea Somewhere waiting for me My lover stands on golden sands And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea She's there watching for me If I could fly like birds on high Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star, it's near beyond the moon I know beyond a doubt my heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore We'll kiss just as before Happy we'll be beyond the sea And never again I'll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt, my heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet I know we'll meet, beyond the shore We'll kiss just as before, happy we'll be beyond the sea, And never again I'll go sailing
Together we'll be just you and me Beyond the sea
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 9 Blue Moon
Blue moon, You saw me standing alone, Without a dream in my heart, Without a love of my own
Blue moon, You knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for, Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared Before me, the only one my arms Will ever hold I heard somebody whisper "Please Adore me," And when I looked the moon Had tuned to gold!
Blue moon, Now I'm no longer alone, Without a dream in my heart, Without a love of my own
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 10 Blue Skies
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
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 11 Body And Soul
My heart is sad and lonely For you I sigh, for you, dear, only Why haven't you seen it? I'm all for you, body and soul
I spend my days in longin' And wond'ring why it's me you're wrongin' I tell you, I mean it I'm all for you, body and soul
I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it That you'd turn away romance Are you pretending? It looks like the ending Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck you're making You know I'm yours for just the taking I'd gladly surrender myself to you, body and soul
My life a wreck you're making You know I'm yours for just the taking I would gladly surrender myself to you, body and soul
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 12 Boulevard of Broken Dreams
I walk along the street of sorrow The boulevard of broken dreams Where gigolo and gigalette Can take a kiss without regret So they forget their broken dreams
You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow When you behold your shattered dreams And gigolo and gigalette Awake to find their eyes are wet With tears that tell of broken dreams
Here is where you'll always find me Always walking up and down But I left my soul behind me In an old cathedral town
The joy that you find here you borrow You cannot keep it long it seems But gigolo and gigalette Still sing a song and dance along Boulevard of broken dreams
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 13 Bye, Bye Blackbird
Pack up all my cares and woes, Here I go singing low, bye, bye blackbird Where somebody waits for me, Sugar's sweet, so is she, bye, bye blackbird
No one here can love and understand me, oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me, Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight, blackbird bye, bye
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 14 Can't Help Lovin' that Man
Oh listen, sister, I love my mister man, And I can't tell yo' why, There ain't no reason Why I should love that man It must be sumpin' that the angels done plan
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly, I got to love one man till I die Can't help lovin' that man of mine Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow, Tell me I'm crazy (maybe I know) Can't help lovin' that man of mine
When he goes away, that's a rainy day, But when he comes back that day is fine, The sun will shine!
He can come home as late as can be, Home without him ain't no home to me Can't help lovin' that man of mine
My man is shif'less An' good for nuthin' too (He's mah man jes' de same) He's never round here When there is work to do He's never round here when there's workin' to do The chimney's smokin', the roof is leakin' in, But he don't seem to care He can be happy with a sip of gin Ah even love him when his kisses got gin!
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 15 Can't We Be Friends?
I took each word she said as gospel truth the way a silly little child would I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth, I was no babe in the wild, wild wood She didn't mean it, I should have seen it, but now it's too late
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams, Now it seems, this is how the story ends: She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong, Not for long, I can see the way this ends: She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
Why should I care though she gave me the air, Why should I cry, heave a sigh, And wonder why, and wonder why?
I thought I found the gal I could trust, Watta bust! This is how the story ends: She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be just friends?"
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 16 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 dancin' 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 dancin' cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain And to reach the highest peak But it doesn't boot me half as much As dancin' cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishin' In a river or a creek But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancin' cheek to cheek
Dance with me, I want my arm about you That charm about you will carry me through
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 17 Chicago
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town Chicago, Chicago, I will show you around - I love it Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say They do things they don't do on Broadway They have the time, the time of their life I saw a man, he danced with his wife In Chicago, Chicago, my home town
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around - I love it Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday could not shut down
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say They do things that they never do on Broadway-hey They have the time, the time of their life I saw a man, and he danced with his wife In Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, that's my home town
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 18 Coquette
Hear me, why you keep fooling little coquette Making fun of the one who loves you Breaking hearts you are ruling little coquette True hearts tenderly dreaming of you
Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you Maybe the one you love will just be fooling too And when you are alone with all your regrets You know, my little coquette, I love you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 19 Cry Me A River
Now you say you're lonely, You cried the long night through Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river, I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry, For being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river, I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember? I remember all that you said Told me love was to plebeian Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me. Well, just to prove you do Cry me a river, cry me a river. I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember? I remember all that you said Told me love was to plebeian Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me Well, just to prove that you do Come on! Come on! Cry me a river Cry me a river, I cried a river over you I cried a river over you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 20 Deed I Do
Do I want you? Oh my do I Honey, indeed I do
Do I need you? Oh my do I Honey, deed I do
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you That's why I'm always hanging around you
Do I love you? Oh my do I Honey, deed I do
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 21 Don't Get Around Much Anymore
Missed the Saturday dance, Heard they crowded the floor Couldn't bear it without you, Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club, Got as far as the door They have asked me about you, Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess My mind's more at ease But nevertheless, Why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates, Might have gone, but what for? Awfully different without you, Don't get around much anymore
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 22 Dream of You
When I walk down the street Hearing and feeling the wind go through my hair I dream of you, I dream about you
When I lay in my bed Turning and watching the shadows on the wall I dream of you, I dream about you
You're gone I'm so lonely without you Alone I am counting the hours At dawn I wake up and feeling blue
When I drive in my car staring and looking at people passing by I dream of you, I dream of you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 23 East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)
East of the sun and west of the moon, We'll build a dream house so lovely Near to the sun in a day, near to the moon at night, We'll live in a lovely way dear Living our love in memory
Just you and I, forever and a day, Love will not die, we'll keep it that way, Up among the stars we'll find A harmony of life, too lovely tune East of the sun and west of the moon, dear, East of the sun and west of the moon
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 24 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 these arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby Come to papa, come to papa do My sweet embraceable you
I love all the many charms about you Above all, I want my arms about you
So don't you be, a naughty baby Come to papa do My sweet embraceable you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 25 Exactly Like You
I know why I've waited Know why I've been blue I pray each night for someone Exactly like you
Why should we spend some money On a show or two No one plays those love themes Exactly like you
You make me feel so grand I wanna give the world to you You make me understand Every foolish little dream I'm dreaming Every scheme I'm scheming
I know why my mother Taught me to be true She meant me for someone Exactly like you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 26 Fly Me To The Moon
Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is like On a-Jupiter and Mars In other words, hold my hand In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song And let me sing for ever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words, please be true In other words, I love you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 27 Georgia On My Mind
Melodies bring back memories That linger in my heart Make me think of Georgia Why did we ever part? Some sweet day when blossoms fall And all the world's a song I'll go back to Georgia 'Cause that's where I belong
Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you
Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 28 The Girl From Ipanema
Tall and tan and young and lovely, The girl from Ipanema goes walking and when she passes, each one she passes goes – ah. When she walks, she's like a samba That swings so cool and sways so gentle, That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh
Ooh, but I watch her so sadly, How can I tell her I love her Yes I would give my heart gladly. But each day, when she walks to the sea, She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely, The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see) She just doesn't see, she never sees me
Olha que coisa mais linda mais cheia de graça É ela menina que vem e que passa nun doce balanço, caminho do mar...
Moça do corpo dourado, do sol de Ipanema O seu balançado é mais que un poema é a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar...
Ah! Porque estou tão sozinho Ah! Porque tudo é tão triste Ah! A beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha que também passa sozinha
Ah! Se ela soubesse que quando ela passa o mundo sorrindo se enche de graça e fica mais lindo por causa do amor
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 29 Golden Earrings
There's a story the gypsies know is true, That when your love wears golden earrings He belongs to you
An old love story that's known to very few, But if you wear these golden earrings, Love will come to you
By the burning fire, they will glow with every coal You will hear desire whisper low inside your soul
So be my gypsy, make love your guiding light, And let this pair of golden earrings Cast their spell tonight
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 30 Have You Met Miss Jones
Have you met Miss Jones Someone said as we shook hands She was just Miss Jones to me
And then I said Miss Jones You’re a girl who understands I’m a man who must be free
And all at once I lost my breath And all at once was scared to death And all at once I on the Earth and sky
And now I’ve met miss Jones And we’ll keep on meeting till we die Miss Jones and I
Miss Jones and I Miss Jones and I
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 31 Honeysuckle Rose
Every honeybee fills with jealousy When they see you out with me I don't blame them, goodness knows Honeysuckle rose
When you're passin' by, flowers drop and sigh And I know the reason why You're much sweeter, goodness knows Honeysuckle rose
Don't buy sugar, you just have to touch my cup You're my sugar, it's so sweet when you stir it up
When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips You're confection, goodness knows Honeysuckle rose
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 32 How High The Moon
Somewhere there's music How faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven How high the moon There is no moon above When love is far away too Till it comes true That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music How near, how far Somewhere there's heaven It's where you are The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon Until you will, how still my heart How high the moon
Somewhere there's music How faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven How high the moon The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon Until you will, how still my heart How high the moon
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 33 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
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 34 I'll see you in my dreams
I'll see you in my dreams And then I'll hold you in my dreams Someone took you right out of my arms Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine Tender eyes that shine They will light my way tonight I'll see you in my dreams
Yes, I will see you in my dreams You know I'll hold you in my dreams I know that someone took you right out of my arms But still I feel the thrill of your charms
I dream of lips that once were mine And those tender eyes that shine I know they'll light my way tonight When I see you in my dreams
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 35 In A Mellow Tone
In a mellow tone Feeling fancy free And I'm not alone I've got company
Everything's ok The live long day With this mellow song I can't go wrong
In a mellow tone That's the way to live If you mope and groan Something's gotta give
Just go your way And laugh and play There's joy unknown In a mellow tone
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 36 In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning
In the wee small hours of the morning While the whole wide world is fast asleep You lie awake thinking of the girl Never even think of counting sheep
While the whole wide world has learned it's lesson She'd be yours if only she would call In the wee small hours of the morning It's the time I miss her most of all
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 37 Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall
Into each life some rain must fall But too much is falling in mine Into each heart some tears must fall But some day the sun will shine
Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts But when I think of you another shower starts Into each life some rain must fall But too much is falling in mine
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 38 I Surrender Dear
We've played the game of, 'Stay away' But it costs more than I can pay Without you I can't make my way I surrender, dear
I may seem proud and I may act gay It's just a pose, I'm not that way 'Cause deep down in my heart I say "I surrender, dear"
Little mean things we were doing Must have been part of the game Lending a spice to the wooing Oh, but I don't care who's to blame
When stars appear and shadows fall By then you'll hear my poor heart call To you my love, my life, my all I surrender, dear
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 39 It Could Happen To You
Hide your heart from sight, Lock your dreams at night It could happen to you
Don't count stars or you might stumble Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble
Keep an eye on spring, Run when church bells ring It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be And it happened to me
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 40 It Don't Mean A Thing (if it Ain't Got That Swing)
What good is melody, what good is music If it ain't possessin' something sweet It ain't the melody, it ain't the music There's something else that makes the tune complete
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot Just give that rhythm everything you got
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 41 It Had To Be You
Why do I do, just as you say Why must I just, give you your way Why do I sigh, why don't I try to forget
It must have been, That something lovers call fate Kept me saying: "I have to wait" I saw them all, Just couldn't fall 'til we met
It had to be you, it had to be you I wandered around, and finally found The somebody who, could make me be true, And could make me be blue And even be glad, just to be sad, thinking of you
Some others I've seen, might never be mean Might never be cross, or try to be boss But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill With all your faults, I love you still It had to be you, wonderful you It had to be you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 42 I Thought About You
I took a trip on a train, And I thought about you I passed a shadowy lane And I thought about you
Two or three cars parked under the stars A windin' stream Moon shining down on some little town And with each beam, the same old dream
And every stop that we made Oh I thought about you And when I pulled down the shade Then I really felt blue
I peeked through the crack and looked at the track The one goin' back to you And what did I do? I thought about you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 43 It’s A Good Day
Yes, it's a good day for singing a song And it's a good day for moving along Yes, it's a good day, how could anything be wrong A good day from morning' till night
Yes, it's a good day for shining your shoes and it's a good day for losing the blues Everything to gain and nothing' to lose A good day from morning' till night
I said to the Sun, "Good morning sun Rise and shine today" You know you've gotta get going If you're gonna make a showin' And you you've got the right of way
'Cause it's a good day for paying your bills And it's a good day for curing your ills So take a deep breath and throw away the pills 'Cause it's a good day from morning' till night
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 44 It's Only A Paper Moon
It is only a paper moon Sailin' 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
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 45 It's All Right With Me
It's the wrong time and the wrong place Though your face is charming, It's the wrong face It's not her face, but such a charming face That it's all right with me
It's the wrong song in the wrong style Though your smile is lovely, It's the wrong smile It's not her smile, but such a lovely smile So it's all right with me
You can't know how happy I am that we've met I'm strangely attracted to you There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget Don't you want to forget someone, too?
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips Though your lips are tempting, They're the wrong lips They're not her lips, But they're such tempting lips That if some night you're free Dear, it's all right Yes, it's all right with me
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 46 I've Found A New Baby
Everybody look at me, happy girlie, you will see I've got someone nice, oh gee, oh joy, what bliss
Just the treasure that I need, pure as gold and guaranteed Is he handsome? Yes, indeed! Let me tell you this
I found a new baby A sweet honey boy My fashion-plate baby Has thrilled me with joy
His new way of lovin' Has made me his slave His sweet turtle dovin' Is all that I crave
Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss Can't resist, somehow Tells me lies, but he's wise Naughty eyes mesmerize, I vow and how
I don't mean maybe I just had to fall I found a new baby A new baby, new baby that's all
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 47 I've Got The World On A String
I've got the world on a string, Sittin' on a rainbow Got the string around my finger What a world, what a life I'm in love
I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go Anytime I move my finger Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love
Life is a beautiful thing As long as I hold the string I'd be a silly so-and-so If I should ever let it go
I've got the world on a string, Sitting on a rainbow Got the string around my finger What a world, what a life I'm in love
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 48 I've Got You Under My Skin
I've got you under my skin I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin
I'd tried so not to give in I said to myself: this affair never will go so well But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of havin' you near In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win? Use your mentality, wake up to reality But each time that I do just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin 'Cause I've got you under my skin
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 49 I Won't Dance
I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, Madame, with you My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do
You know what?, you're lovely You know what?, you're so lovely And, oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle 'specially when you do the Continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos
And that's why I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance, So if I hold you in arms I won't dance
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 50 J’attendrai
J'attendrai le jour et la nuit J'attendrai toujours ton retour
J'attendrai car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit Vient chercher l'oubli dans son nid
Le temps passe et court en battant tristement Dans mon cœur si lourd Et pourtant j'attendrai ton retour
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 51 Joseph, Joseph
Oh Joseph, Joseph, won't you make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart's no clock that I can stop and wind up Each time we make up after being through
So listen Joseph, Joseph time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 52 Just A Gigolo
I'm just a gigolo and everywhere I go, People know the part I'm playin'. Pay for every dance, sellin' each romance, Ooohh what they're sayin'? There will come a day, when youth will pass away, What will they say about me? When the end comes I know, There was just a gigolo's Life goes on without me.
I... Ain't got nobody and there's Nobody cares for me there's nobody cares for me I'm so sad and lonely, oh lonely, oh lonely, lonely Won't some sweet mama come and rescue me? Cause I ain't no bad. Baby, mama, sugar, darling I ain't got nobody baby And there is nobody (There is nobody) 3x There is no one (There's no one) 2x Nobody (repeat x times) Nobody cares for me
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 53 Just Friends
Just friends, lovers no more, Just friends, but not like before To think of what we've been, and not to kiss again Seems like pretending, it isn't the ending
Two friends, drifting apart, Two friends, but one broken heart We loved we laughed we cried, Then suddenly love died The story ends and we're just friends
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 54 Lady Be Good
Oh, sweet and lovely Lady be good Oh lady be good to me
I am so awfully misunderstood So lady be good, to me
Oh, please have some pity I'm all alone in this big city
I tell you I'm just A lonesome babe in the wood So lady be good to me
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 55 The Lady Is A Tramp
I've wined and dined on Mulligan Stew, and never wished for Turkey As I hitched and hiked and grifted too, from Maine to Albuquerque Alas, I missed the Beaux Arts Ball, and what is twice as sad I was never at a party where they honored Noel Ca-ad (Coward) But social circles spin too fast for me. My "hobohemia" is the place to be
I get too hungry, for dinner at eight I like the theater, but never come late I never bother, with people I hate That's why the lady is a tramp
I don'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 the girls That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the free, fresh wind in her hair. Life without care. I'm broke, it's ok. Hate California, it's cold and it's damp. That's why the lady is a tramp
I go to Coney, the beach is divine I go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine I find a Winchell, and read every line That's why the lady is a tramp
I like a prizefight, that isn't a fake I love the rowing, on Central Park lake I go to Opera and stay wide awake That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the green grass under my shoes What can I lose, I'm flat, that's that I'm alone when I lower my lamp That's why the lady is a tramp
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 56 La Vie En Rose
Quand il me prend dans ses bras Il me parle tout bas, je vois la vie en rose Il me dit des mots d'amour, Des mots de tous les jours et ça me fait quelque chose Il est entré dans mon cœur Une part de Bonheur, dont je connais la cause
C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie Et dès que je l'aperçois Alors je sens en moi, mon cœur qui bat
In English:
Hold me close and hold me fast The magic spell you cast, this is la vie en rose When you kiss me, heaven sighs And though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose When you press me to your heart I'm in a world apart, a world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels, sing from above Everyday words seem to turn into love songs Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be, la vie en rose
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 57 Like Someone in Love
Lately, I find myself gazing at stars, Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me, Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings, Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove, And feeling like someone in love
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 58 Little White Lies
The moon was all aglow And heaven was in your eyes The night that you told me Those little white lies
The stars all seemed to know That you didn't mean all those sighs The night that you told me Those little white lies
I try but there's no forgetting when evening appears, I sigh but there's no regretting in spite of my tears
The devil was in your heart But heaven was in your eyes The night you told me those little white lies
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 59 Look For The Silver Lining
As I wash my dishes, I'll be following a plan, Till I see the brightness in every pot and pan I am sure this point of view will ease the daily grind, So I'll keep repeating in my mind
Look for the silver lining Whenever a cloud appears in the blue Remember somewhere, the sun is shining And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you
A heart, full of joy and gladness Will always banish sadness and strife So always look for the silver lining And try to find the sunny side of life
So always look for the silver lining And try to find the sunny side of life
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 60 Love Me Or Leave Me
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely, You won't believe me that I love you only, I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time The right time for kissing, But night time is my time for just reminiscing, Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no else Unless that someone is you, you, you I intend to be independently blue
I want your love, but I don't want to borrow, I have it today and give back tomorrow, For my love is your love, But there's no love for nobody else
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 61 Lover Come Back To Me
The sky was blue, and high above, The moon was new and so was love This eager heart of mine was singing: "Lover, where can you be?"
You came at last, love had its day, That day is past, you've gone away This aching heart of mine is singing: "Lover, come back to me!"
When I remember every little thing you used to do, I'm so lonely Every road I walk along, I walk along with you, No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold, The moon is new, but love is old, And while I'm waiting here, This heart of mine is singing: "Lover, come back to me!"
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 62 Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be)
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad I long to try something I never had Never had no kissin' Oh, what I've been missin' Lover man, oh, where can you be?
The night is cold and I'm so alone I'd give my soul just to call you my own Got a moon above me But no one to love me Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance Can be like a heavenly dream I go to bed with a prayer That you'll make love to me Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet And you'll dry all my tears Then whisper sweet Little things in my ear Hugging and a-kissing Oh, what I've been missing Lover man, oh, where can you be?
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 63 Love For Sale
Love for sale, Appetizing young love for sale, Love that's fresh and still unspoiled, Love that's only slightly soiled, Love for sale
Who will buy? Who would like to sample my supply? Who's prepared to pay the price For a trip to paradise Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love in their childish way, I know every type of love better far than they If you want the thrill of love, I've been through the mill of love,
Old love, new love, every love but true love
Love for sale, Appetizing young love for sale If you want to buy my wares, Follow me and climb the stairs Love for sale
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 64 Lullaby Of Birdland
Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I Always hear when you sigh Never in my wordland Could there be ways to reveal In a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love? That's the kind of magic Music we make with our lips when we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow He really knows how to cry That's how I'd cry on my pillow If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low Kiss me sweet and we'll go Flyin' high in Birdland High in the sky up above All because we're in love
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 65 Me, Myself and I
Me, myself and I are all in love with you We all think you're wonderful we do
Me, myself and I, have just one point of view We're convinced there's no one else like you
It can't be denied dear You brought the sun to us We'd be satisfied dear If you, you'd belong to one of us
So if you pass me by, three hearts will break in two Cause me, myself and I, are all in love with you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 66 Ménilmontant
Ménilmontant mais oui madame C'est là que j'ai laissé mon cœur C'est là que je viens retrouver mon âme Toute ma flamme Tout mon bonheur...
Quand je revois ma petite église Où les mariages allaient gaiement Quand je revois ma vieille maison grise Où même la brise Parle d'antan
Elles me racontent Comme autrefois De jolis contes Beaux jours passés je vous revois
Un rendez-vous Une musique Des yeux rêveurs tout un roman Tout un roman d'amour poétique et pathétique Ménilmontant !
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 67 Mister Bojangles
I knew a man Bojangles And he'll dance for you In worn out shoes With silver hair and ragged shirt baggy pants He will do the old soft shoe He would jump so high Jump so high That he lightly touched down
Told me of the time he worked with minstrel shows Travelling throughout the south He spoke with tears for fifteen years How his how his dog and him They will travel about But his dog up and died Got up and died After twenty years he still grieves
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for my drinks and tips. But most the time I, I spend behind these country bars. You see I drinks a bit Then he shook his head Oh Lord, when he shook his head I can swear I heard somebody saying please, please
That's mister Bojangles Calling mister Bojangles Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance and dance please dance
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 68 Misty
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud, I can't understand I get misty, just holding your hand,
Walk my way, and a thousand violins begin to play Or it might be the sound of your hello The music I hear, I get misty the moment you're near
You can say that you're leading me on, But it's just what I want you to do Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost, That's why I'm following you
On my own, Would I wander through this wonderland alone Never knowing my right foot from my left, My hat from my glove I'm too misty, And too much in love
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 69 Moonglow
It must have been Moonglow Way up in the blue It must have been Moonglow That led me straight to you
I still hear you saying, Dear one, hold me fast And I start in praying, Oh Lord, let this last
We seem to float right through the air, Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's Moonglow, Way up in the blue I always remember that Moonglow gave me you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 70 The More I See You
Each time I look at you is like the first time Each time you're near me the thrill is new And there is nothing that I wouldn't do for The rare delight of the sight of you for
The more I see you, the more I want you Somehow this feeling just grows and grows With every sigh I become more mad about you More lost without you and so it goes
Can you imagine how much I love you? The more I see you as years go by I know the only one for me can only be you My arms won't free you, my heart won't try I know the only one for me can only be you My arms won't free you, my heart won't try
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 71 Mr. Sandman
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream Make him the cutest that I've ever seen Give him two lips like roses and clover Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I'm so alone Don't have nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream Make him the cutest that I've ever seen Give him the word that I'm not a rover Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone Don't have nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold Would be so peachy before we're too old So please turn on your magic beam Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please Mr Sandman, bring us a dream
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 72 My Melancholy Baby
Come to me, my melancholy baby Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe You know, dear, that I'm in love with you
Every cloud must have a silver lining Wait until the sun shines through
So smile my honey dear While, I kiss away each tear Or else, I shall be melancholy too
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 73 Nature Boy
There was a boy, A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, Very far, Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye, But very wise was he
And then one day, A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things, Fools and kings This he said to me: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, Is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return"
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 74 Ne Nah Nah
I got on the phone and called the girls, said "Meet me down at Curly Pearls, for a Ney nah neh nah" (Ney, nah neh nah)
In my high-heeled shoes and fancy fads I ran down the stairs, hailed me a cab, going Ney, nah neh nah (Ney, nah neh nah)
When I pushed the door, I saw Eleanor And Mary-Lou swinging on the floor, going Ney nah neh nah (ney nah neh nah) Sue came in, in a silk sarong She waltzed across as they played that song, I mean Ney nah neh nah (ney nah neh nah)
Annie was a little late She had to get out of a date with a Ney nah neh nah (ney, nah neh nah) Curly fixed another drink As the piano man began to sing that song Ney nah neh nah (ney, nah neh nah)
It was already half past three But the night was young and so were we dancing Ney, nah neh nah (Ney, nah neh nah) Oh Lord, did we have a ball Still singing, walking down that hall, that Ney nah neh nah (ney nah neh nah) Ney, nah neh nah (Ney, nah neh nah) Oh nah ney nah neh nah
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 75 Night And Day
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom When the jungle shadows fall Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock As it stands against the wall Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops When the summer shower is through So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun Whether near to me or far It's no matter, darling, where you are I think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it so That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ? In the roarin' traffic's boom In the silence of my lonely room I think of you day and night
Night and day, under the hide of me There's an oh, such a hungry yearnin' burnin' inside of me And its torment won't be through Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you Day and night, night and day
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 76 On The Sunny Side Of The Street
Grab your coat and get your hat, Leave your worry at the doorstep Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat And that happy tune is your step Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade With those blues on parade But I'm not afraid 'cause this rover, crossed over
If I never had a cent I'll be as rich as Rockefeller Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street
Alternative lyrics (Dizzy Gillespie)
Grabbin´ up your hats, coats, boots and everything Leave your worries on the doorstep just by going bye bye Just direct your feet, you look neat on the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter and the patter of the rain drops trickling down the fire scape ladder Life can be so fine, fine as man as shelve is wine
I used to walk, walk in the shade with those blues on parade But I'm not afraid it´s over, Casanova
If I never had one cent I'll be as rich as Rockly Fella Gold dust at my feet, on the sunny, on the shady, on the sunny side of the street
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 77 Out Of Nowhere
You came along from out of nowhere, You took my heart and found it free, Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere, Make every hour as sweet as a flower to me
If you should go back to your nowhere Leaving me with just a memory, I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere, Hoping you bring your love to me
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 78 Putting On The Ritz
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 day coat, Pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits. Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper, Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper) Come let's mix where Rockefellers Walk with sticks or umbrellas In their mitts puttin' on the Ritz 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 Arrowed collars, white spats and lots of dollars Spending every dime for a wonderful time

FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 81 Shine
Well, just because my hair is curly And just because my teeth are pearly Just because I always wear a smile Likes to dress up in the latest style
Just because I'm glad I'm livin' Takes trouble smilin', never whine Just because my color's shady Slightly different maybe That's why they call me shine.
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 82 Smile
Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile

FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 84 Somewhere 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 dreamed of Once in a lullaby
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 laughter falls like lemon drops away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
Somewhere, over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true
If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I?
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 85 Summertime
Summertime an' the livin' is easy, Fish are jumping an' the cotton is high Oh, yo' daddy's rich, and yo' ma is good lookin', So hush little baby don't you cry
One of these mornin's, You goin' to rise up singing, The you'll spread yo' wings An' take to the sky, But till that mornin', there's nothin' can harm you, With Daddy an' Mammy standing by
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 86 Sweet Georgia Brown
No gal made has got a shade on sweet Georgia Brown Two left feet but oh, so neat has sweet Georgia Brown They all sigh and want to die sweet Miss Georgia Brown And I'll tell you just why, You know that I do not lie, not much

FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 87 Sweet Sue
Every little star above knows the one I love Sweet Sue, just you

In this heart of mine you live all the time Sweet Sue, just you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 88 There Is No Greater Love
There is no greater love than what I feel for you No greater love, no heart so true
There is no greater thrill than what you bring to me No sweeter song than what you sing to me
You're the sweetest thing I have ever known And to think that you are mine alone
There is no greater love in all the world, it's true No greater love than what I feel for you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 89 There Will Never Be Another You
This is our last dance together, Tonight soon will be long ago. And in our moment of parting, This is all I want you to know...
There will be many other nights like this, And I'll be standing here with someone new, There will be other songs to sing, Another fall, another spring, But there will never be another you
There will be other lips that I may kiss, But they won't thrill me like yours used to do, Yes, I may dream a million dreams, But how can they come true, If there will never ever be another you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 90 The Way You Look Tonight
Someday, when I'm awfully low When the world is cold I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm And your cheeks so soft There is nothing for me but to love you And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows Tearin' my fear apart And that laugh, wrinkles your nose Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change Keep that breathless charm Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you Just the way you look tonight
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 91 They All Laughed
They odds were a hundred to one against me The world thought the heights were too high to climb But people from Missouri never incensed me Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned For from history I had learned How many, many times the worm had turned
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 was a phony It's the same old try
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 would be happy Darling, let's take a bow But ho, ho, ho Who's got the last laugh now?
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 92 They Can't Take That Away From Me
There are many, many crazy things That will keep me loving you, And with your permission May I list a few?
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 No, no - they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again On that bumpy road to love Still I'll always, Always keep the memory of:
The way you hold your knife The way we danced until three The way you've changed my life No, no - they can't take that away from me No, they can't take that away from me
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 93 Undecided
First you say you do and then you don't And then you say you will and then you won't You're undecided now So what are you gonna do?
Now you want to play and then it's no And when you say you'll stay that's when you go You're undecided now So what are you gonna do?
I've been sitting on a fence And it doesn't make much sense 'Cause you keep me in suspense and you know it
Then you promise to return When you don't I really burn Well, I guess I'll never learn and I show it
If you've got a heart and if you're kind Then don't keep us apart make up your mind You're undecided now So what are you gonna do?
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 94 What A Difference A Day Made
What a difference a day made, twenty four little hours, Brought the sun and the flowers where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue, dear, today I'm part of you, dear, My lonely nights are through dear, since you said you were mine
What a difference a day made, there's a rainbow before me, Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss,
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu, What a difference a day made and the difference is you
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 95 What A Wonderful World
I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred nights And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll ever knew And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 96 What Is This Thing Called Love
What is this thing called love? This funny thing called love? Just who can solve its mystery? Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above What is this thing called love?
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 97 When The Saints Go Marching In
We are trav'ling in the footsteps Of those who've gone before, And we'll all be reunited, On a new and sunlit shore
Oh, when the saints go marching in Oh, when the saints go marching in Lord, how I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in
And when the sun refuse to shine And when the sun refuse to shine Lord, how I want to be in that number When the sun refuse to shine
And when the moon turns red with blood And when the moon turns red with blood Lord, how I want to be in that number When the moon turns red with blood
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call Lord, how I want to be in that number When the trumpet sounds its call
Some say this world of trouble, Is the only one we need, But I'm waiting for that morning, When the new world is revealed.
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 98 When You're Smiling
When you're smiling, when you're smiling And the whole world smiles with you And when you're laughing, oh, when you're laughing Mmm, man, the sun comes shining through
When you're crying, you bring on the rain Stop your sighing, won't you be happy again? When you're smiling, keep on smiling And the whole world smiles with you
When you're laughing, you bring on the joy Be happy, you've got to groove, my boy When you're smiling, keep on smiling And the whole world smiles with you, oh!
FAVORITE VOCAL JAZZ - 99 You Took Advantage Of Me
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all What's the use of trying not to fall? I have no will, you've made your kill 'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm just like an apple on a bough And you're gonna shake me down somehow So, what's the use, you've cooked my goose 'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know my elbow from my ear I suffer something awful each time you go And much worse when you're near
Here I am with all my bridges burned Just a babe in arms where you're concerned So lock the doors and call me yours 'Cause you took advantage of me
