There’s no doubt of that If today He just don’t know wrong from right Any shock they should try to stem Like an Alley Cat ‘Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock would land on them.

He meets ’em (Mee-ow) Chorus 2: When Grand-mama, whose age is eighty, And loves ’em (Mee-ow) In nightclubs is getting matey with gigolos, And leaves ’em (Mee-ow) Anything goes. That’s what Catsanova does When mothers pack and leave poor father It’s no way to treat a pal Because they decide they’d rather be tennis pros, She should tell him, “Scat!” Anything goes. Aren’t you sorry for that gal With her Alley Cat If driving fast cars you like, If low bars you like, If old hymns you like, If bare limbs you like, If Mae West you like, Or me undressed you like, Why, nobody will oppose. When ev’ry night the set that’s smart is Intruding in nudist parties in studios, Anything goes.

Morgan Story by Gogi Grant dubbing for Ann Blyth But a fool can have his charms. I’m in love and don’t I show it Verse 1: I used to dream that I would discover Like a babe in arms. The perfect lover someday. Love’s the same old sad sensation. I knew I’d recognize him Lately, I’ve not slept a wink, If ever he came round . Since this half-pint imitation I always used to fancy then Put me on the blink. He’d be one of the Godlike kind of men, With a giant brain and a noble head Chorus 1: I’m wild again, beguiled again Like the heroes bold in the books I read. A simpering, whimpering child again Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I But along came Bill Couldn’t sleep and wouldn’t sleep Who’s not the type at all; When love came and told me I shouldn’t sleep You’d meet him on the street Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I And never notice him. His form and face, his manly grace Lost my heart, but what of it? Are not the kind that you He is cold, I agree. would find in a statue. He can laugh, but I love it, And I can’t explain, Although the laugh’s on me. It’s surely not his brain I’ll sing to him, each spring to him, That makes me thrill. And long for the day when I’ll cling to him I love him because he’s wonderful Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I Because he’s just old Bill.

Chorus 2: Seen a lot; I mean a lot! Verse 2: He can’t play golf or tennis or polo But now I’m like sweet seventeen a lot. Or sing a solo or row. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I. He isn’t half as handsome I’ll sing to him, each Spring to him, As dozens of men that I know. And worship the trousers that cling to him. He isn’t tall and straight and slim; Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I. And he dresses far worse than Ted or Jim. And I can’t explain why he should be When he talks he is seeking Just the one, one man in the world for me. Words to get off his chest. Horizontally speaking, He’s just my Bill, an ordinary boy, He’s at his very best. He hasn’t got a thing that I can brag about. Vexed again, perplexed again, And yet to be upon his knee, Thank God I can be oversexed again. So comfy and roomy feels natural to me. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I. And I can’t explain, It’s surely not his brain that makes me thrill. I love him because he’s, I don’t know, Because he’s just my Bill.

I’m longing to teach you ‘Tis you, ’tis you must go and I must bide. Love’s sweet melody. But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow, I’ll sing a dream song to you, Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow, Painting a picture for two: ‘Tis I’ll be there in sunshine or in shadow. Oh, Danny Boy, Oh, Danny Boy, I love you so. Chorus: Blue heaven and you and I, And sand kissing a moonlit sky. But when ye come and all the flow’rs are dying, A desert breeze whisp’ring a lullaby, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, Only stars above you to see I love you. You’ll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Ave there for me. Oh, give me that night divine, And I shall hear tho’ soft you tread above me. And let my arms in yours entwine. And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be. The desert song, calling, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, Its voice enthralling, Then I shall sleep in peace until you come to me. Will make you mine.

The dogies bawl and bawl and bawl There may come a time Deep in the heart of Texas When a hard boiled employer Thinks you’re awful nice. But get that “ice” or else no dice. He’s your guy when stocks are high,

But beware when they start to descend. It’s then that those louses Go back to their spouses. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. (I don’t mean rhinestones.) Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

When you put your arms around me, It takes thought and time and rhyme to make a poem ring. I get a fever that’s so hard to bear. With music and words I’ve been playing. You give me fever, For you I have written a song. When you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight. To be sure that you know what I’m saying, Fever! - in the morning, fever all through the night. I’ll translate as I go along.

Sun lights up the daytime; Chorus: Moon lights up the night. Fly me to the moon I light up when you call my name, And let me play among the stars And you know I’m gonna treat you right Let me see what Spring is like You give me fever, On Jupiter and Mars When you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight In other words hold my hand Fever! - in the morning, fever all through the night. In other words, darling kiss me

Everybody’s got the fever; Fill my heart with song That is something you all know. And let me sing forever more Fever isn’t such a new thing, You are all I long for Fever started long ago.

When her Daddy tried to kill him, Though I see the danger there, She said “Daddy-o, don’t you dare If there’s a chance for me, He give me fever, Then I don’t care. With his kisses, fever when he holds me tight. Fools rush in where wise men never go. Fever!- I’m his Missus, But wise men never fall in love, Daddy, won’t you treat him right.” So how are they to know? When we met I felt my life begin. Now you’ve listened to my story, So open up your heart and let Here’s the point I have made: This fool rush in. Chicks were born to give you fever, Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade. They give you fever When you kiss them, fever if you live and learn. Fever! - till you sizzle, What a lovely way to burn. What a lovely way to burn. What a lovely way to burn.

I’m in love again, And I can’t rise above it, I’m in love again, And I love, love, love it! I’m in love again, And I’m darn glad of it, Good news!

I’ve grown accustomed to the tune They liked his Irish smile. She whistles night and noon So made him chief Panjandrum, the nabob of them all. Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs They called him Jijiboo Jhai, Are second nature to me now And rigged him out so gay, Like breathing out and breathing in So he wrote to Dublin Bay I was serenely independent To his sweetheart just to say: And content before we met Surely I could always Chorus: Be that way again and yet “Sure, I’ve got rings on my fingers, bells on my toes, I’ve grown accustomed to her looks Elephants to ride upon, my little Irish Rose.

Are second nature to me now She started shedding a tear. Like breathing out and breathing in Said he, “Now have no fear! I’m very grateful she’s a woman I’m keeping these wives here And so easy to forget Just for ornament, my dear.” [Repeat Chorus] Rather like a habit One can always break, and yet Verse 3: I’ve grown accustomed to the trace Em’rald green he robed his queen to share with him his Of something in the air throne.

With all your faults I love you still In the still of the night, It had to be you, wonderful you While the world is in slumber, It had to be you Oh, the times without number,

Darling, when I say to you: “Do you love me as I love you? Are you my life-to-be, my dream come true?” Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight Like the moon, growing dim, on the rim of the hill In the chill, still of the night?

If you should tell me farewell and goodbye. Love walked right in Lullaby of Birdland, whisper low, And drove the shadows away. Kiss me sweet and we’ll go Love walked right in Flyin’ high in Birdland, And brought my sunniest day. High in the sky up above One magic moment (All because) we’re in love. And my heart seemed to know

That love said, “hello” Though not a word was spoken. One look And I 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.

I think it’s cheaper Than makin’ whoopee.”

The sun sits high in a sapphire sky I need no soft lights to enchant me, When my ship comes in. If you’ll only grant me, the right To hold you ever so tight. I can wait the years till it appears, And to feel in the night, the nearness of you. One fine day one Spring; But the pearls and such, they won’t mean much If there’s missing just one thing. I do not care if that day arrives, That dream need never be, If the ship I sing doesn’t also bring My own true love to me. If the ship I sing doesn’t also bring My own true love to me.

When there are clouds in the sky, Some enchanted evening you may see a stranger You’ll get by You may see a stranger across a crowded room. If you smile through your fear and sorrow. And somehow you know, you know even then, Smile, and maybe tomorrow That somewhere you’ll see her again and again. You’ll see the sun come shining thru for you. Some enchanted evening someone may be laughing You may hear her laughing across a crowded room Light up your face with gladness. And night after night, as strange as it seems, Hide ev’ry trace of sadness The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams. Altho’ a tear may be ever so near. That’s the time you must keep on trying; Who can explain it? Who can tell you why? Smile, what’s the use of crying. Fools give you reasons. Wise men never try. You’ll find that life is still worthwhile Some enchanted evening when you find your true love, If you’ll just smile. When you feel her call you across a crowded room, Then fly to her side and make her your own. Or all thru your life you may dream all alone.

Once you have found her never let her go Once you have found her never let her go

Only man I ever think of with regret. Who knows what the fates have in store from their vast mysterious sky? I’d like to add his initial I’ll try hard ignoring those lips I adore. To my monogram.

My heart wants to sigh Like a chime that flies From a church on a breeze. To laugh like a brook When it trips and falls over Stones on its way, To sing through the night Like a lark who is learning to pray.

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely I know I hear what I’ve heard before My heart will be blessed With the sound of music And I’ll sing once more

Or would you rather be a mule Here I slide again About to take that ride again, A mule is an animal with long, funny ears Starry eyed again, He kicks up at anything he hears Taking a chance on Love. His back is brawny and his brain is weak I thought that cards were a frame-up; He’s just plain stupid with a stubborn streak I never would try. And by the way, if you hate to go to school But now I’m taking the game up, You may grow up to be a mule And the ace of hearts is high. Things are mending now. Or would you like to swing on a star I see a rainbow blending now. Carry moonbeams home in a jar We’ll have our happy ending now And be better off than you are Taking a chance on Love. Or would you rather be a pig [Chorus 2] Here I come again. A pig is an animal with dirt on his face I’m gonna make things hum again, His shoes are a terrible disgrace Acting dumb again, He’s got no manners when he eats his food Taking a chance on Love. He’s fat and lazy and extremely rude Here I stand again. But if you don’t care a feather or a fig About to beat the band again, You may grow up to be a pig Feeling grand again, Taking a chance on Love. Or would you like to swing on a star I never dreamed in my slumbers Carry moonbeams home in a jar And bets were taboo. And be better off than you are But now I’m playing the numbers Or would you rather be a fish on a little dream for two. Wading in again, A fish won’t do anything but swim in a brook I’m leading with my chin again, He can’t write his name or read a book I’m starting out to win again To fool the people is his only thought Taking a chance on Love. And though he’s slippery he still gets caught But then if that sort of life is what you wish [Chorus 3] Here I slip again, You may grow up to be a fish About to take that tip again, Got my grip again And all the monkeys aren’t in the zoo Taking a chance on Love. Ev’ry day you meet quite a few Now I prove again So you see it’s all up to you That I can make life move again, You can be better than you are In the groove again You could be swinging on a star Taking a chance on Love. I walk around with a horseshoe in clover I lie. And brother rabbit, of course you Better kiss your foot goodbye. On the ball again, I’m riding for a fall again, I’m gonna give my all again Taking a chance on Love.

Like you’ve had too much wine You wonder how it all came about. That’s amore It’s too late now, there’s no getting out. Bells will ring, ting-a-ling-a-ling You fell in love.

That’s amore When you dance down the street The shore was kissed with sea and mist tenderly. With a cloud at your feet I can’t forget how two hearts met breathlessly. You’re in love Your arms opened wide and closed me inside, When you walk in a dream You took my lips, you took my love, so tenderly.

That old black magic has me in its spell, That old black magic that you weave so well. Those icy fingers up and down my spine, The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine. The same old tingle that I feel inside And then that elevator starts its ride. And down and down I go. ‘Round and ’round I go, Like a leaf that’s caught in the tide.

And so I’m borrowing I’ll be a dandy and I’ll be a rover; A love song from the birds. You’ll know who I am by the song that I sing. To tell you that you’re marvelous, I’ll feast at your table, I’ll sleep in your clover. Too marvelous for words. Who cares what tomorrow shall bring?

One day he seized her and gently squeezed her. Heavenly shades of night are falling And then beneath the bamboo green, It’s twilight time He begged her to become his queen. Out of the mist your voice is calling The dusky lady blushed unseen, It’s twilight time And joined him in his song: When purple colored curtains [To chorus] Mark the end of day I hear you my dear at twilight time Verse 3: This little story, strange but true, Deepening shadows gather splendor Is often told in Mataboo, As day is done Of how this Zulu tried to woo Fingers of night will soon surrender His jungle lady in tropics shady. The setting sun Although the scene was miles away, I count the moments darling Right here at home I dare to say, Till you’re here with me You’ll hear some Zulu ev’ry day Together at last at twilight time Gush out this soft refrain: [To Chorus]

Verse 1: Down in the jungles lived a maid, Of royal blood though dusky shade. A marked impression once she made Upon a Zulu from Matabooloo. And ev’ry morning he would be Down underneath a bamboo tree, Awaiting there his love to see. And then to her he’d sing:

Chorus: If you lak-a me lak I lak-a you And we lak-a both the same, I lak-a say, this very day, I lak-a change your name. ‘Cause I love-a you and love-a you true And if you-a love-a me, One live as two, two live as one Under the bamboo tree.

Gee, it’s great after bein’ out late And that laugh that wrinkles your nose, Walkin’ my baby back home Touches my foolish heart. Arm in arm over meadow and farm Lovely, Walkin’ my baby back home Never, never change, We go ’long harmonizin’ a song Keep that breathless charm, Or I’m reciting a poem Won’t you please arrange it, Owls go by and they give me the eye ‘Cause I love you, Walkin’ my baby back home Just the way you look tonight.

We stop for awhile She gives me a smile And snuggles her head to my chest We start in to pet and that’s when I get Her powder all my vest After I kinda straighten my tie She has to borrow my comb One kiss and then I continue again Walkin’ my baby back home

That old gang of mine You must go your way and I must go mine, All the boys are singing love songs Now that our love song has ended. They forgot “Sweet Adeline” Those wedding bells are breaking up [Chorus] What’ll I do, when you are far away That old gang of mine And I am blue, what’ll I do? What’ll I do when I am wond’ring who There goes Jack, there goes Jim Is kissing you, what’ll I do? Down to Lover’s Lane Now and then we meet again What’ll I do, with just a photograph But they don’t seem the same To tell my troubles/secrets to? Gee I get a lonesome feeling When I’m alone with only dreams of you When I hear those church bells chime That won’t come true, what’ll I do?

And I think to myself And too many moonlight kisses What a wonderful world Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.

The colors of the rainbow When I give my heart, it will be completely. So pretty in the sky Or I’ll never give my heart. Are also on the faces of people goin’ by And the moment I can feel that I see friends shakin’ hands sayin’ “How do you do” You feel that way too They’re really sayin’ “I love you” Is when I fall in love with you. I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world

But I can’t remember where or when. ‘Cause I never take her where the gang goes, The clothes you’re wearing are the clothes you wore. When I take my sugar to tea. The smile you are smiling you were smiling then. I’m a rowdy dowdy, that’s me. But I can’t remember where or when. She’s a high hat baby, that’s she. So I never take her where the gang goes, Some things that happen for the first time When I take my sugar to tea. Seem to be happening again. And so it seems that we have met before, Ev’ry Sunday afternoon we forget about our cares, And laughed before, and loved before, Rubbing elbows at the Ritz with those millionaires. But who knows where or when? When I take my sugar to tea, I’m as Ritzy as I can be, Will I Ever Tell You? 1-40 ‘Cause I never take her where the gang goes, Medley with Lida Rose on page 1-40.

Witchcraft (1957) When You Wish Upon a Star (1940) (w) Carolyn Leigh (m) Cy Coleman (P) Frank Sinatra (CR) Matt (w) Ned Washington (m) Leigh Harline (I) Film: Pinocchio by Belsante Cliff Edwards Academy Award Winner (CR) Glenn Miller and his Orchestra (CR) Rosemary Clooney Those fingers in my hair, That sly, come hither stare When you wish upon a star, That strips my conscience bare Makes no difference who you are. It’s witchcraft. Anything your heart desires will come to you. And I’ve got no defense for it; If your heart is in a dream, The heat is too intense for it No request is too extreme, What good would sense When you wish upon a star as dreamers do. For it do?

Fate is kind; she brings to those who love ‘Cause it’s witchcraft, The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing. Wicked witchcraft, Like a bolt out of the blue, And although I know it’s strictly taboo, Fate steps in and sees you through. When you wish upon a star, When you arouse the need in me, Your dreams come true. My heart says, “Yes, indeed” in me “Proceed with what You’re leadin’ me to.” It’s such an ancient pitch; But one I wouldn’t switch ‘Cause there’s no nicer witch than you

You and I are just like a couple of tots I speak your name in my ev’ry prayer. Running across a meadow If there is some other way to prove that I love you, Picking up lots of forget-me-nots I swear I don’t know how. You make me feel so young You’ll never know if you don’t know now. You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung And a wonderful fling to be flung And even when I’m old and gray I’m gonna feel the way I do today ‘Cause you make me feel so young

[Verse 1] There’s a feeling comes a stealing, Your clothes may be Beau Brummel-ly, And it sets my brain a-reeling, May stand out a mile, When I’m list’ning to the music of a military band. But brother, you’re never fully dressed without a smile. Any tune like “Yankee Doodle” Simply sets me off my noodle, Who cares what they’re wearing It’s that patriotic something that no one can understand. On Main Street or Saville Row? “Way down South in the land of cotton,” It’s what you wear from ear to ear Melody untiring; And not from head to toe that matters. Ain’t that inspiring? So, Senator, so, janitor, so long for a while. Hurrah! Hurrah! We’ll join the jubilee, Remember you’re never fully dressed And that’s going some, Though you may look the best, For the Yankees, by gum! You’re never fully dressed without a smile! Red, White and Blue, I am for you. Honest, you’re a grand old flag!

[Chorus] You’re a grand old flag. You’re a high flying flag. And forever in peace may you wave. You’re the emblem of The land I love, The home of the free and the brave. Ev’ry heart beats true ‘Neath the Red, White and Blue, Where there’s never a boast or brag. But should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep you eye on the grand old flag!

For it’s hard you will find I hope ’twill never depart. To be narrow of mind Dear, with your lips to mine, If you’re young at heart A rhapsody divine, Zing, went the strings of my heart. You can go to extremes With impossible schemes You can laugh when your dreams Fall apart at the seams And life gets more exciting With each passing day And love is either in your heart Or on the way Don’t you know that it’s worth Ev’ry treasure on earth To be young at heart? For as rich as you are It’s much better by far To be young at heart. And if you should survive To a hundred and five, Look at all you’ll derive Out of being alive. And here is the best part. You have a head start If you are among the very young at heart

Verse 1: Just like a melody that lingers on, Amor, Amor, Amor. You seem to haunt me night and day This word so sweet that I repeat means I adore you. I never realized till you had gone Amor, Amor, my love. How much I cared about you, Would you deny this heart that I have placed before you? I can’t live without you. I can’t find another word with meaning so clear. Refrain: All alone, I’m so all alone My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear. There is no one else but you. But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear All alone by the telephone As this soft caressing word I know. Waiting for a ring a ting a-ling Amor, Amor, my love I’m all alone ev’ry evening, When you’re away there is no day and nights are lonely All alone feeling blue. Amor, Amor, my love Wond’ring where you are, Make life divine. Say you’ll be mine, and love me only And how you are Amor, Amor And if you are all alone too. ***************

There’s nothing left for me of days that used to be. I live in memories among my souvenirs. Some letters tied in blue, a photograph or two, I see a rose from you among my souvenirs.

A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest. And though they do their best to give me consolation, I count them all apart, and as the teardrops start, I find a broken heart among my souvenirs.

Step around the floor kind of nice and light. It’s good to live it again. Then you twis’ around and twis’ around with all your might. Stretch your lovin’ arms straight out in space. Then you do the Eagle Rock with style and grace. Swing your foot way ’round then bring it back. Now that’s what I call “Ballin’ the Jack.”

Verse 1: It’s being done at all the Cabarets. All society now has got the craze. It’s the best dance done in modern days. That is why I rave about it so.

That I wanted to possess each tender bloom. Somewhere, beyond the sea, she’s there watching for me. Then my dream took wings If I could fly like birds on high, then straight to her arms I’d And through a thousand springs, go sailing. Blue orchids seemed in a world apart. But when I met you It’s far, beyond a star, it’s near beyond the moon. Something pale and blue I know beyond a doubt, my heart will lead me there soon. Came stealing from the meadows of my heart. We’ll meet, beyond the shore. We’ll kiss just as before. I saw my two blue orchids, Happy we’ll be beyond the sea, and never again, I’ll go My beautiful blue orchids, sailing. Last night and what a sweet surprise. (No more sailing. Bye-bye sailing, so long sailing) When you looked at me It was plain to see Blue orchids only bloom in your eyes.

I heard him singing a most peculiar cowboy song. Why can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, It was a ditty he learned in the city: cold heart? “Cum-a-ti-yi-yi-ay, Cum-a-ti-yip-it-tl-e-yi-ay. Git along. Git hip little dogies. Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue. Git along. And so my heart is paying now for things I didn’t do. Better be on your way.

Verse 1: Once I was happy, but now I’m forlorn And darling I think of you, Like an old coat that is tattered and torn; Day in and day out. Left on this world to fret and to mourn, Day out, day in, Betrayed by a maid in her teens. I needn’t tell you how my day begins.

The girl that I loved she was handsome; When I awake, I awaken with a tingle, I tried all I knew her to please One possibility in view, But I could not please her one quarter so well That possibility of maybe seeing you. As the man upon the trapeze. Come rain, come shine, I meet you and to me the day is fine. Chorus Then I kiss your lips, He’d fly through the air with the greatest of ease, And the pounding becomes, That daring young man on the flying trapeze. The ocean’s roar, a thousand drums. His movements were graceful, all girls he could please Can’t you see it’s love, And my love he purloined away. Can there be any doubt? When there it is, day in, day out.

To see her throw herself away. In the still of the night ‘Twas all no avail, she went there every night, Once again I hold you tight. And would throw him bouquets on the stage, Tho’ you’re gone your love lives on when moonlight Which caused him to meet her; how he ran me down, beams. To tell you would take a whole page.

Page 2-17 El Paso (1959) And at last here I (wm) Marty Robbins (P) Marty Robbins No. 1 chart record Am on the hill overlooking El Paso Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I can see Rosa’s cantina below. I fell in love with a Mexican girl. My love is strong and it pushes me onward Nighttime would find me in Rosa’s cantina Down off the hill to Felina I go. Music would play and Felina would whirl. Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys. Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina, Off to my left ride a dozen and more. Wicked and evil while casting her spell. Shouting and shooting I can’t let them catch me. My love was deep for this Mexican maiden. I have to make it to Rosa’s back door I was in love, but in vain I could tell. Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel One night a wild young cowboy came in, A deep burning pain in my side. Wild as the West Texas wind. Though I am trying to stay in the saddle Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing I’m getting weary, unable to ride. With wicked Felina, the girl that I loved. But my love for Fe- So in anger I lina is strong, and I rise where I’ve fallen. Challenged his right for the love of this maiden. Though I am weary I can’t stop to rest. Down went his hand for the gun that he wore. I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle; My challenge was answered; in less than a heartbeat I feel the bullet go deep in my chest. The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor. From out of nowhere Felina has found me, Just for a moment I stood there in silence, Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side. Shocked by the foul, evil deed I had done. Cradled by two loving arms that I’ll die for, Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there. One little kiss and Felina, goodbye. I had but one chance, and that was to run.

Out through the back door of Rosa’s I ran, Out where the horses were tied. I caught a good one, it looked like it could run; Up on its back and away I did ride.

Just as fast as I

Could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out to the badlands of New Mexico. Back in El Paso my life would be worthless. Everything’s gone in life, nothing is left. It’s been so long since I’ve seen the young maiden. My love is stronger than my fear of death.

I saddle up and away I did go Riding alone in the dark Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothing’s worse than this pain in my heart

I’d like to see your name right beside mine. I’m her booby. She’s my trap. I can see we’re in harmony, I am caught and I don’t wanna run, Looks like we both agree on what to do. Cause I’m having so much fun with honey bun. And I like it, how about you? Believe me sonny. She’s a cookie who can cook you till you’re done. Ain’t bein’ funny. Sonny, put your money on my honey bun.

You lie awake and think about the girl, and never ever think What a world, what a life, I’m in love! of counting sheep. When your lonely heart has learned its lesson, you’d be hers Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß 2-19 if only she would call. See Falling in Love Again on page 2-19. In the wee small hours of the morning, that’s the time you miss her most of all. If I Didn’t Care (1939) (wm) Jack Lawrence (P) The Ink Spots Grammy Hall of Fame (R) 2008 film Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Amy Adams & Lee Pace

If I didn’t care more than words can say, If I didn’t care would I feel this way? If this isn’t love then why do I thrill? And what makes my head go ’round and ’round While my heart stands still? If I didn’t care would it be the same? Would my ev’ry prayer begin and end with just your name? And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare? Would all this be true if I didn’t care for you?

If You Were the Only Girl in the World (1916) (w) Clifford Grey (m) Nat D. Ayer (I) London Revue The Bing Boys Are Here by George Robey and Violet Loraine (R) 1929 film The Vagabond Lover by Rudy Vallee

Refrain: If you were the only girl in the world, and I were the only boy, Nothing else would matter in the world today. We could go on loving in the same old way. A garden of Eden just made for two with nothing to mar our joy. I would say such wonderful things to you. There would be such wonderful things to do, If you were the only girl in the world and I were the only boy.

Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo? ‘Cause I want her, I’m gonna ask her: That means I offer my love to you to be your own. If you refuse me, I will be blue Refrain: Is you is or is you ain’t my baby? And waiting all alone The way you’re acting lately makes me doubt. But if when you hear my love call ringing clear, You have always been my baby, baby. And I hear your answering echo so dear, Seems the flame in your heart has gone out. Then I will know our love will become true. You’ll belong to me, I’ll belong to you. Well a girl is a creature who has always been strange. Just when you think you’re hers, you know, She’s gone and made a change. So Is you is or is you ain’t my baby? Has my baby found somebody new? Or is my baby still my baby true?

Do the sweet magnolias blossom at ev’rybody’s door? Do folks keep eating possum till they can’t eat no more? Is it true what they say about Swanee? Is a dream by that stream so sublime? Do they laugh, do they love, like they say in ev’ry song? If it’s true, that’s where I belong.

Academy Fair. (P) Dick Haymes Award winner. (P) Dick Haymes. (CR) Rosemary Clooney Refrain: Refrain: I’m as restless as a willow in windstorm, It’s a grand night for singing! The moon is flying high. I’m as jumpy as a puppet on a string And somewhere a bird who is bound he’ll be heard I’d say that I had spring fever Is throwing his heart at the sky. But I know it isn’t spring. It’s a grand night for singing! The stars are bright above. I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented The earth is aglow and to add to the show, Like a nightingale to sing. I think I am falling in love. Falling, falling in love. Oh, why should I have spring fever When it isn’t even spring? Interlude: Maybe it’s more than the moon, Maybe it’s more than the birds, I keep wishing I were someone else Maybe it’s more than the sight of the night in a light too Walking down a strange new street lovely for words! Hearing words that I have never heard Maybe it’s more than the earth, shiny in silvery blue. From a man I’ve yet to meet. Maybe the reason I’m feeling this way I’m as busy as a spider spinning daydreams. Has something to do with you! I’m as giddy as a baby on a swing. [Repeat Refrain] I haven’t seen a crocus or a rosebud Or a robin on the wing.

Christy

It’s a most unusual day. Feel like throwing my worries away. As an old native-born Californian would say, It’s a most unusual day. There’s a most unusual sky, Not a sign of a cloud passing by. And if I want to sing, throw my heart in the ring, It’s a most unusual day.

There are people meeting people. There is sunshine ev’ry where. There are people greeting people, And a feeling of spring in the air. It’s a most unusual time. I keep feeling my temp’rature climb. If my heart won’t behave in the usual way, Well, there’s only one thing to say: It’s a most unusual, most unusual, Most unusual day.

If you break my heart I’ll die.” So, kiss me once, then kiss me twice, So be sure that it’s true when you say Then kiss me once again. "I love you." It’s been a long, long, time.

I’ll never, never, ever tell another white lie. Took a little doll out on a date last night Refrain: You sigh, the song begins, Next to her, “Gravel Gertie” You speak and I hear violins, would have looked all right. It’s magic. Now I’m between the devil and the deep blue sea The stars desert the skies ‘cause I said "Baby, you look good to me." And rush to nestle in your eyes, I told her I loved her but, oh, how I lied. It’s magic. And now she’s gettin’ set to be my blushin’ bride. If she leads me to the altar, then I’m sunk. Without a golden wand or mystic charms ‘cause I can’t tell the preacher I was drunk. Fantastic things begin when I am in your arms. So Lord have mercy on a no ’count sinner, When we walk hand in hand, Give me one more chance to let another guy win ’er The world becomes a wonderland. Cross my heart and I hope to die It’s magic. I’ll never, never, EVER tell another white lie. How else can I explain Those rainbows when there is no rain? I will never tell another white lie. It’s magic. Why do I tell myself these things that happen are all really true? When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you.

But you take-a too long when you say the good night. Chorus 1: I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair, You no finish till half-a past two. Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air; Say why you no bring-a your feller upstairs? I see her tripping where the bright streams play, Ravioli with peppers I cook. Happy as the daisies that dance on her way. You can make-a the love with the kiss and the hug, Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour, And the mom and the pop they no look. Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o’er: Patter 3: Don’t I bring-a you up and I make-a you fat, I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair, With the soup and the pasta fazool? Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air. Now you stay up-a late and it make-a you thin. What’s-a matter you make-a me fool? Chorus 3: I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed Why you no get marriage and raise-a the fam’? Far from the fond hearts round her native glade; Then I make-a you promise I keep: Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown, I’ll buy you the furnish’ and pay for your rent. Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone. Then we all-a can get-a the sleep. Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore While her gentle fingers will cull them no more: Chorus 2: Josefina, please no lean-a on the bell. I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair, When you moosh, please no poosh on the bell. Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air. I heard Missus Calingo say she’d call the police.

One little smile, and after a while, An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day. A longing to forget. Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way. One little heartache left as a token, When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw, One little plaything carelessly broken. A’plowin’ through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.

[Refrain] Remember the night, the night you said Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o! "I love you." Remember? Ghost riders in the sky. Remember you vowed By all the stars above you. Remember? Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made Remember we found a lonely spot of steel. And after I learned to care a lot; Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he You promised that you’d forget me not could feel. But you forgot to remember. A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky; He saw the riders comin’ hard and he heard their mournful cry:

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o! Ghost riders in the sky.

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat. They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd but they ain’t caught them yet. They’ve got to ride forever in that range up in the sky On horses snortin’ fire, as they ride on, hear their cry:

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o! Ghost riders in the sky.

As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name: "If you want to save your soul from hell a’ ridin’ on our range, Then, cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride A-tryin’ to catch the Devil’s herd across these endless skies."

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o! Ghost riders in the sky. (Ghost riders in the sky.)

Spring is here! Let’s make that day come soon. Why doesn’t the breeze delight me? Stars appear. [Refrain 2] Soon, my dear, you’ll never be lonely. Why doesn’t the night invite me? Soon you’ll find I live for you only. Maybe it’s because nobody loves me. When I’m with you who cares what time it is, Spring is here, I hear. Or what the place or what the climate is?

You’re the starch in my collar, But you were the kind who would hurt me, desert me when You’re the lace in my shoe, I needed you. You will always be my necessity, Yes! You! You’re driving me crazy!

You’re the salt in my Stew, I keep tossing in my sleep at night. You will always be my necessity, And what’s more I’ve lost my appetite. I’d be lost without you. Stars that used to twinkle in the skies You’re the starch in my collar, Are twinkling in my eyes; I wonder why. You’re the lace in my shoe, You will always be my necessity, [Melody 2] You don’t need analyzing, I’d be lost without you. It is not so surprising You give life savor, bring out its flavor; That you feel very strange, but nice. So this is clear, dear, Your heart goes pitter patter; You’re my Worcestershire, dear. I know just what’s the matter, You’re the sail of my love boat, Because I’ve been there once or twice. You’re the captain and crew, Put your head on my shoulder, You will always be my necessity, You need someone who’s older, I’d be lost without you. A rubdown with a velvet glove. There is nothing you can take To relieve that pleasant ache, You’re not sick, you’re just in love! [Repeat, with duet of both parts together]

(CR) Billie Holiday (R) 1933 film version by Anna Neagle; 1940 film version by Jeanette MacDonald [Chorus] You’ve changed. That sparkle in your eyes is gone. [Refrain] Play to me beneath the summer moon, Zigeuner, You’re smile is just a careless yawn. Zigeuner, Zigeuner! You’re breaking my heart, All I ask of life is just to listen to the songs that you sing, You’ve changed. My spirit like a bird on the wing, You’ve changed. Your melodies adoring, soaring! Your kisses are now so blasé. Call to me with some barbaric tune, Zigeuner, Zigeuner, You’re bored with me in ev’ry way. Zigeuner! I can’t understand, Now you hold me in your power, You’ve changed. Play to me for just an hour, Zigeuner!

You’ve forgotten the words “I love you,” Each memory that we’ve shared. You ignore ev’ry star above you. I can’t realize you ever cared. You’ve changed. You’re not the angel I once knew, No need to tell me that we’re through. It’s all over now, you’ve changed.

When tears come down like fallin’ rain. You’ll toss around and call my name. You’ll walk the floor the way I do, Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you.

[Chorus 2] Your cheatin’ heart will pine some day And crave the love you threw away. The time will come when you’ll be blue, Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you. When tears come down like fallin’ rain. You’ll toss around and call my name. You’ll walk the floor the way I do, Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you.
