from Irving Berlin: A Hundred Years (1988)
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 dancing, cheek to cheek. Heaven, I'm in Heaven, And the cares that hang around me thro' the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek. Oh! I love to climb a mountain, And to reach the highest peak, But it doesn't thrill me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek. Oh! I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek, But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek. Dance with me I want my arm about you; The charm about you Will carry me thro' to 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 dancing cheek to cheek. |

At any gambling casino
From Monte Carlo to Reno, They tell you that a beginner Comes out a winner. Beginner fishing for flounder Will catch a seventeen pounder; That's what I've always heard And always thought absurd, But now I believe every word! For I've got beginner's luck; The first time I'm in love I'm in love with you, Gosh I'm lucky! I've got beginner's luck; There never was such a smile Or such eyes of blue, Gosh I'm fortunate! This thing we've begun Is much more than a pastime, For this time is the one Where the first time is the last time! I've got beginner's luck, Lucky through and through, For the first time that I'm in love, I'm in love with you! I've got beginner's luck; The first time I'm in love I'm in love with you, Gosh I'm lucky! I've got beginner's luck; They told me beginners win, Now I know it's true, Gosh I'm fortunate! This thing we've begun Is much more than a pastime, For this time is the one Where the first time is the last time! I've got beginner's luck, Lucky through and through, For the first time that I'm in love, I'm in love with you! |

Bad news go 'way,
Call round some day, In March or May, I can't be bothered now! My bonds and shares May fall downstairs; Who cares, who cares? I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now! I'm up among the stars, On earthly things I frown, I'm throwing off the bars That held me down! I'll pay the piper When times are riper; Just now I shan't Because you see I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now! |

Loosen up and start to limber. Can't you hear that hot marimba? Let yourself go. Let yourself go. Relax and let yourself go. Relax. You've got yourself tied up in a knot. The night is cold but the music's hot. So... Come! Cuddle closer. Don't you dare to answer, "No, sir." Butcher, baker, clerk and grocer, Let yourself go. With CHORUS: Come! Get together.

(verse) Things have come to a pretty pass, Our romance is growing flat, For you like this and the other While I go for this and that. Goodness knows what the end will be; Oh, I don't know where I'm at... It looks as if we two will never be one, Something must be done. (refrain) You say eether and I say eyether, You say neether and I say nyther; Eether, eyether, neether, nyther, Let's call the whole thing off! You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto; Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto! Let's call the whole thing off! But oh! If we call the whole thing off, Then we must part. And oh! If we ever part, Then that might break my heart! So, if you like pajamas and I like pajahmas, I'll wear pajamas and give up pajahmas. For we know we need each other, So we better call the calling off off. Let's call the whole thing off! You say laughter and I say lawfter, You say after and I say awfter; Laughter, lawfter, after, awfter, Let's call the whole thing off! You like vanilla and I like vanella, You, sa's'parilla and I sa's'parella; Vanilla, vanella, Choc'late, strawb'ry! Let's call the whole thing off! But oh! If we call the whole thing off, Then we must part. And oh! If we ever part, Then that might break my heart! So, if you go for oysters and I go for ersters I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters. For we know we need each other, So we better call the calling off off! Let's call the whole thing off! From: Gloria "Montcomags" |

(spoken) In me, you see a youth who is completely on the loose. No yens, no yearnings… No strings And no connection No ties to my affections I'm fancy free And free for anything fancy No dates that can't be broken, No words that can't be spoken, Especially when I am feeling romancy Like a robin upon a tree, Like a sailor that goes to sea, Like an unwritten melody, I'm free, that's me! So bring on the big attraction, My decks are cleared for action, I'm fancy free, I'm free for anything fancy. (Repeat) |

Please teacher, teach me something,
Nice teacher, teach me something. I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst, My two feet haven't met yet, But I'll be teacher's pet yet, 'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst. Nothing's impossible I have found, For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, Dust myself off, Start all over again. Don't lose your confidence if you slip, Be grateful for a pleasant trip, And pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again. Work like a soul inspired, Till the battle of the day is won. You may be sick and tired, But you'll be a man, my son! Will you remember the famous men, Who had to fall to rise again? So take a deep breath, Pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again. I'll get some self assurance If your endurance is great. I'll learn by easy stages If you're courageous and wait. To feel the strength I want to, I must hang on to your hand, Maybe by the time I'm fifty I'll get up and do a nifty. Nothing's impossible I have found, For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, Dust myself off, Start all over again. Don't lose your confidence if you slip, Be grateful for a pleasant trip, And pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again. Work like a soul inspired, Till the battle of the day is won.

By the Adriatic waters Venetian sons and daughters Are strumming a new tune upon their guitars. It was written by a Latin, a gondolier who sat in His home out in Brooklyn and gazed at the stars. He sent his melody across the sea to Italy, And we know they wrote some words to fit that catchy bit And christened it the Piccolino. And we know that it's the reason why Ev'ryone this season is strumming and humming a new melody. Come to the Casino and hear them play the Piccolino. Dance with your bambino to the strains of the catchy Piccolino. Drink your glass of Vino, and when you've had your plate of Scallopino, Make them play the Piccolino, the catchy Piccolino. And dance to the strains of that new melody, the Piccolino. |

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, Tearing my fear apart... And that laugh that wrinkles your nose, It touches my foolish heart. Lovely ... Never, ever change. Keep that breathless charm. Won't you please arrange it ? 'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight. Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm, Just the way you look to-night. |

I just got an invitation through the mail. "Your presence is requested this evening. It's formal. Top hat, white tie and tails." Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails, Because I'm invited to step out this evening In top hat, white tie and tails. Oh, I'm puttin' on my top hat, Tying up my white tie, Brushing off up my tails. I'm doodin' up my shirt front, Puttin' in the shirt studs, Polishing my nails. I'm stepping out, my dear, To breathe an atmosphere That simply reeks with class. And I trust That you'll excuse my dust When I step on the gas. For I'll be there... Puttin' down my top hat Mussin' up my white tie Dancing in my tails. |

Must you dance every dance With the same fortunate man? You have danced with him since the music began. Won't you change partners and dance with me? Must you dance quite so close With your lips touching his face? Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place? Won't you change partners and dance with me? Ask him to sit this one out And while you're alone, I'll tell the waiter to tell him He's wanted on the telephone. You've been locked in his arms Ever since heaven knows when. Oh, won't you change partners, and then... You may never want to change partners again. |

The 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 world 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 phoney. 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? |

An old sailor, in old time, would sing an old song: Rolling down to Rio by the sea. A young sailor, in these times, would sing a new song, Flying down to Rio, come with me! Where the lovely Brazilian ladies will catch your eye, By the light of the million stars in the evening sky, My Rio, Rio by the Sea-o, Flying down to Rio where there's rhythm and rhyme. Say feller, twirl that old propeller, Got to get to Rio and we've got to make time. You'll love it, soaring high above it, Looking down on Rio from a heaven of blue. Send a radio to Rio de Janeiro, With a big hello just so they'll know and stand by there, We'll fly there. Oh, Rio, ev'rything will be okay, We're singing and winging our way to you. |

Except you and me So set 'em up Joe, I got a little story You oughta know We're drinking my friend, to the end Of a brief episode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road I got the routine, so drop another nickel In the machine I'm feeling so bad, I wish you'd make the music Dreamy and sad Could tell you a lot, but that's not In a gentleman's code 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 to say And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me Until it's all talked away Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know you're gettin' Ready to close Thanks for the beer I hope you didn't mind My bending your ear Don't let it be said Little Freddie couldn't carry his load Make it one for my baby And one more for the road That long long road |

Please teacher, teach me something,
Nice teacher, teach me something. I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst, My two feet haven't met yet, But I'll be teacher's pet yet, 'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst. Nothing's impossible I have found, For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, Dust myself off, Start all over again. Don't lose your confidence if you slip, Be grateful for a pleasant trip, And pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again. Work like a soul inspired, Till the battle of the day is won. You may be sick and tired, But you'll be a man, my son! Will you remember the famous men, Who had to fall to rise again? So take a deep breath, Pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again. I'll get some self assurance If your endurance is great. I'll learn by easy stages If you're courageous and wait. To feel the strength I want to, I must hang on to your hand, Maybe by the time I'm fifty I'll get up and do a nifty. Nothing's impossible I have found, For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, Dust myself off, Start all over again. Don't lose your confidence if you slip, Be grateful for a pleasant trip, And pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again. Work like a soul inspired, Till the battle of the day is won. You may be sick and tired, But you'll be a man, my son! Will you remember the famous men, Who had to fall to rise again? So take a deep breath, Pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again. |

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 Arrow collars, white spats and lots of dollars Spending every dime, for a wonderful time 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 trouper Trying mighty hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper) Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks or "umberellas" in their mitts, Puttin' 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) (Puttin' on the ritz) (Puttin' on the ritz |
