I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow Got the string around my finger What a world, what a life - I'm in love I've got a song that I sing I can make the rain go Any time I move my finger Lucky me, can't you see - I'm in love Life's a beautiful thing As long as I hold the string I'd be a silly so-and-so If I should ever let her go |

My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically everything leaves me totally cold. The exception I know is the case When I'm out on a quiet spree, Fighting vainly the old ennui, And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face. I get no kick from champagne. Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all. So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you? Some, they may go for cocaine. I'm sure that if I took even one sniff It would bore me terrifically, too. Yet I get a kick out of you. I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me. I get a kick though it's clear to see you obviously do not adore me. I get no kick in a plane. Flying too high with some gal in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do. Yet I get a kick - um you give me a boot - I get a kick out of you. [2 different verses] (Some like the perfume from Spain) (I'm sure that if I took even one sniff) (It would bore me terrifically too) (But I get a kick out of you) (Some like the bop-type refrain) (I'm sure that if, I heard even one riff) (It would bore me terrifically too) (But I get a kick out of you) |

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 the bumpy road to love But I'll always, always keep the memory of The way you hold your knife The way we danced till three The way you've changed my life No they can't take that away from me No they can't take that away from me We may never, never, never meet again, on the bumpy road to love Still I'll always, always keep that memory of The way you hold your knife The way we danced till 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 They won't take that away 'Cause they can't take that away From me |

My funny valentine...
Sweet, comic valentine... You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable, unphotographable yet you're my favorite work of art Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak, are you smart? But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine Stay Each day is valentine's day. Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak, Are you smart? But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine Stay Each day is Valentine's Day |

Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you If you're young at heart For it's hard you will find To be narrow of mind If you're young at 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 it's way Don't you know that it's worth Every 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 105 Look at all you'll derive Out of being alive And here is the best part You've had a head start If you are among the very Young at heart And if you should survive to 105 Think of all you'll derive Out of being alive And here is the best part You've had a head start If you are among the very Young at heart... |

When the sun is high
In the afternoon sky You can always find something to do But from dusk til dawn As the clock ticks on Something happens to you In the wee small hours of the morning While the whole wide world is fast asleep You lie awake and think about the girl And never even think of counting sheep When your lonely heart has learned its lesson You'd be hers if only she would call In the wee small hours of the morning That's the time you miss her most of all When your lonely heart has learned its lesson You'd be hers if only she would call In the wee small hours of the morning That's the time you miss her most of all |

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart so that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin I tried so not to give in I said to myself this affair, it never will go so well But why should I try to resist when baby, I know so well That I've got you under my skin I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of having you near, In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night It 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 I do, just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin, 'Cause I've got you under my skin I would sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of having you near, In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night It repeats, how it yells in my ear Don't you know little fool, you never can win Why not use your mentality, step up, wake up to reality But each time I do, just the thought of you Makes me stop just before I begin, 'Cause I've got you under my skin Yes, I've got you under my skin |

You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung Every time I see you grin I'm such a happy individual The moment that you speak I want to go and play hide-and-seek I want to go and bounce the moon Just like a toy balloon You and I, are just like a couple of tots Running across the meadow Picking up lots of forget-me-nots You make me feel so young 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 |

It happened in Monterey
A long time ago I met her in Monterey In old Mexico Stars and steel guitars And luscious lips as red as wine Broke somebody's heart And I'm afraid that it was mine It happened in Monterey Without thinking twice I left her and threw away the key to paradise My indiscreet heart Longs for the sweetheart That I left in old Monterey It happened in Monterey A long time ago I met her in Monterey In old Mexico Stars, guitars, Lips red as wine Broke somebody's heart And I fear that it was mine It happened in Monterey And without thinking twice I left her and I threw away the key to paradise My indiscreet heart How it longs for that sweetheart That I left in old Monterey |

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such I never cared much Oh, look at me now! I never knew the technique of kissing I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch I never knew much Oh, look at me now! I'm a new man better than casanova at his best With a new heart and a brand new start Why I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest So I'm the guy who turned out a lover Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings One of those things Oh, look at me now! I'm not the guy who cared about love And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such I never cared much Oh, look at me now! And I never knew the technique of kissing I never knew the thrill I could get form your touch I never knew much Oh, look at me now! I'm a new man better than casanova at his very best With a new heart and a brand new start I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest So I'm the guy who turned out a lover Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings One of those things Oh, look at me now! Look at me now! |

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 beneath the moon and 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 longing 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 'Til you let me spend my life making love to you Day and night Night and day Night and day You are one Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun Whether near to me or far It's no matter, baby, where you are I think of you Day and night Night and day Why is it so That this longing 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 height of me There's an oh such a hungry yearnin' burnin' inside of me And its torment won't be through 'Til you let me spend life making love to you Day and night Night and day |

Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare That strips my conscience bare It's witchcraft. And I've got no defense for it, The heat is too intense for it. What good would common sense for it do? 'Cause it's witchcraft, Wicked witchcraft, And although I know it's strictly taboo When you arouse the need in me, My heart says yes indeed in me, Proceed with what your leading me to It's such an ancient pitch, But one I wouldn't switch, 'Cause there's no nicer witch than you **Instrumental break** 'Cause it's witchcraft, That crazy witchcraft, And although I know it's strictly taboo When you arouse the need in me, My heart says yes indeed in me, Proceed with what your leading me to... It's such an ancient pitch, But one that I would never switch, 'Cause there's no nicer witch than you |

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She likes the theater and never comes late She never bothers, with people she'd hate That's why the lady is a tramp Doesn't like crap games, with barons or 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 She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair Life without care She's broke and it's oak Hates California, it's cold and it's damp That's why the lady is a tramp She gets too hungry to wait for dinner at eight She loves the theater but never comes late She'd never bother with people she'd hate That's why the lady is a tramp She'll have no crap games with sharpies and frauds And she won't go to Harlem, in Lincoln's or Ford's And she won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the broads That's why the Lady is a Tramp She loves the free, fresh, wind in her hair Life without care She's broke, but it's oak Hates California, it's so cold, and so damp That's why the lady, that's why the lady That's why the lady is a tramp |

When somebody loves you
Its no good unless he loves you... All the way Happy to be near you When you need someone to cheer you All the way Taller than the tallest tree is Thats how its got to feel Deeper than the deep blue sea is Thats how deep it goes if its real When somebody needs you Its no good unless she needs you All the way Through the good or lean years And for all those in between years Come what may Who knows where the road will lead us Only a fool would say But if you let me love you Its for sure I'm gonna love you All the way All the way.... So if you let me love you Its for sure I'm gonna love you All the way All.. The ... Way...... |

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze there's a bar in far Bombay Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru In llama-land there's a one man band and he'll toot his flute for you Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied We'll just glide, starry eyed Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near You may hear, the angels cheer because we're together Weather-wise it's such a lovely day Just say the words and we'll beat those birds down to Acapulco Bay It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon they say So come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied We'll just glide, starry eyed Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near You may hear, all the angels cheer because we're together Weather-wise it's such a lovely day You just say those words, and we'll beat those birds down to Acapulco Bay It's so perfect for a flying honeymoon they say Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly Pack up! let's fly away |

Put your dreams away for another day And I will take their place in your heart Wishing on a star never got you far And so it's time to make a new start When your dreams at night Fade before you Then I'll have the right To adore you Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling And put all your dreams away |

It's quarter to 3
Theres no one in the place Except you and me. So set em' up, Joe I got a little story I think you should know. We're drinkin' my friends to the end of a brief episode. Make it one for my baby and one more for the road I got the routine Put another nickel in the machine Feelin' so bad Can't you make the music Easy and sad. I could tell you a lot but you've gotta be True to your code Just make it one for my baby and one more for the road You'd never know it But buddy I'm a kind of poet And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say And when I'm gloomy Won't you listen to me Till' its talked away? Well, thats how it goes And Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close. And thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear. But this torch that I've found It's gotta be drowned Or it soon might explode. So make it one for my baby and one more for the road The long, it's so long... The long, very long... |

There are three new movies op'ning tonight,
A baseball game, a championship fight, A big band concert under the stars, And a rodeo, Midget racing cars, For some gals and gents the above events hold their own vicarious charms, But I'd rather go to a place I know, Where I can hold you in my arms! Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me, Come dance with me, what an evening for some terpsichore. Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, so come dance with me, Romance with me on a crowded floor. And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin', For what is dancing but making love set to music, playin'. When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam, As we wing home, cheek to cheek we'll be, Come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me (Repeat, but instead substitute the following words line 1: dancin/Basie, line 5: lovely/cuckoo, line 8: wing/waltz and the first 3 "come on"'s in the last line are repeated.) |
