When the sun shines high In the afternoon sky You can always find something to do
But from dusk 'til dawn As the clock ticks on Something will happen 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 ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson Youd be hers if only she would call In the wee small hours of the morning Thats the time you miss her most of all *******************************************************************
There's a saying old says that love is blind Still we're often told "seek and ye shall find" So I'm going to seek a certain girl I've had in mind Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet She's the big affair I cannot forget Only girl I ever think of will regret
I'd like to add her initials to my monogram Tell me where's the shepherd for this lost lamb
There's a somebody I'm longing to see I hope that she turns out to be Someone to watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood I know I could always be good To one who'll watch over me *********************************************************************
How glad a million laddies From millionaires to caddies Would be to capture me ! But you had such persitence, You wore down my resistance : I fell, and it was swell
You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo How I won you, I shall never, never know It's not that you're attractive but, oh, my heart grew active When you came into view.
I've got a crush on you, Sweetie pie. All the day and night-time, hear me sigh I never had the least notion That I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo? Could you care For a cunning cottage we could share? The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you
Could you coo? Could you care For a cunning cottage we could share? Your mush I never shall shush, 'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you *********************************************************************
I never feel a thing is real When I'm away from you Out of your embrace The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm A bubble for a minute Mmm, mm, mm, mm You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, its only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me
Without your love It's a honky-tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world Just as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me
And now the purple dust of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart Now the little stars, the little stars pine Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a love that cannot die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by.
Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely nights Dreaming of a song That melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration Ah, but that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall Where stars are bright You are in my arms That nightingale tells its fairy tale of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain my stardust melody The memory of love's refrain.
Ah, but that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall Where stars are bright You are in my arms That nightingale tells its fairy tale of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain my stardust melody The memory of love's refrain. *********************************************************************
Gee but it's tough to be broke kid It's not a joke kid, It's a curse, My luck is changing it's gotten from simply rotten To something worst Who knows someday i will win too I'll begin to reach my pride Now that i see what our end is All can spend is just my time
I can't give you anything but love, baby. That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby. Dream a while. Scheme a while. We're sure to find, Happiness, and I guess all those things you've always pined for.
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, My little baby Diamond bracelets Woolworth's doesn't sell, baby. till that lucky day you know darn well, baby. I can't give you anything but love. *****************************************************************
After one whole quart of brandy Like a daisy, I'm awake With no Bromo-Seltzer handy I don't even shake
Men are not a new sensation I've done pretty well I think But this half-pint imitation Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again A simpering, whimpering child again Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Lost my heart, but what of it He is cold I agree He can laugh, but I love it Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him And long, for the day when I'll cling to him Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
He's a fool and don't I know it But a fool can have his charms I'm in love and don't I show it Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation Lately I've not slept a wink Since this half-pint imitation Put me on the blink
I've sinned a lot, I'm mean a lot But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
I'll sing to him, each spring to him And worship the trousers that cling to him Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
When he talks, he is seeking Words to get off his chest Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best
Vexed again, perplexed again Thank God, I can be oversexed again Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Wise at last, my eyes at last, Are cutting you down to your size at last Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Burned a lot, but learned a lot And now you are broke, so you earned a lot Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Couldn't eat, was dispeptic Life was so hard to bear Now my heart's antiseptic Since you moved out of there
Romance, finis. Your chance, finis. Those ants that invaded my pants, finis. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more *********************************************************************
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 *********************************************************************
Old man sunshine listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it and I'll start a riot Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare Ever tell me he will care I'm certain it's the final curtain I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas Who tell you fate supplies a mate It's all bananas
They're writing songs of love but not for me A lucky star's above but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi-ho.. alas... and also lack-a-day Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me
I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi-ho.. alas... and also lack-a-day Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me ********************************************************************
Love, love, love, love, What did you do to me? The things I never missed Are things I can't resist.
Love, love, love, love, Isn't it plain to see I just had a change of heart; What can it be?
She's got eyes of blue, I never cared for eyes of blue, But she's got eyes of blue, And that's my weakness now!
She's got dimpled cheeks; I never cared for dimpled cheeks, But she's got dimpled cheeks, And that's my weakness now!
Oh my, oh me! Oh, I should be good, I would be good, But gee!
She likes to bill and coo, I never liked to bill and coo, But she likes to bill and coo And that's my weakness now!
She likes rainy days. I never cared for a rainy day, But she likes rainy days And that's my weakness now!
She likes vestibules, I never stood in a vestibule, But she likes vestibules And that's my weakness now.
Oh gee, poor me! I can hear the clock Striking one-two-three!
She likes long good-nights, I never had a long good-night, But she likes long good-nights And that's my weakness now!
She's got a Chevrolet, I never liked a Chevrolet, But she's got a Chevrolet, And that's my weakness now.
She likes to drive in a certain way, I never drove in a certain way, But she likes to drive in a certain way, And that's my weakness now!
Oh my, oh me! I should be good, I would be good, But gee!
She likes to park and play, I never liked to park and play, But I guess we'd better park and play, So that's my weakness now. ********************************************************************
I never knew the charm of spring I never met it face to face I never new my heart could sing I never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom Holiday tables under the trees April in Paris, this is a feeling That no one can ever reprise
I never knew the charm of spring I never met it face to face I never new my heart could sing I never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris Whom can I run to What have you done to my heart. ********************************************************************
Listen to my tale of woe, it's terribly sad but true, All dressed up, no place to go Each evening I'm awfully blue. I must win some winsome miss Can't go on like this, I could blossom out I know, Which somebody just like you. So...
Oh sweet and lovely, Lady be good, Oh lady be good to me. I am so awflly 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.
Auburn and brunette and blonde: I love em all, tall or small But somehow they don't grow fond; They stagger but never fall. Winter's gone, and now it's spring! Love! where is thy sting? If somebody won't respond, I'm going to end it all. So.....
Oh sweet and lovely lady, be good. Oh lady, be good to me! I am so awfly misunderstood, So, lady be good to me.
This is tulip weather, So let's put two and two together. I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood, So, lady be good, to me. *******************************************************************
Oh Lord, why did you send the darkness to me? Are the shadows forever to be? Where is the love I'm longing to see?
Oh Lord, once we met by the old willow tree Now you've gone and left nothin' to me Nothin' but a sweet memory…
Willow weep for me Willow weep for me Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea Listen to my plea Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream Lovely summer dream Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream Sad as I can be Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan Murmur to the night to hide its starry light So none will see me sighing and crying all alone
Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me
Oh, weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me *********************************************************************
I'm so tired of this dull routine Up to town on the eight-fifteen Back at nine, off to bed and then Get up and start it all over again
Let's take a boat to Bermuda Let's take a plane to Saint Paul. Let's take a kayak to Quincy or Nyack, Let's get away from it all.
Let's take a trip in a trailer No need to come back at all. Let's take a powder to Boston for chowder, Let's get away from it all.
We'll travel 'round from town to town, We'll visit ev'ry state. I'll repeat, "I love you sweet!" In all the forty-eight.
Let's go again to Niag'ra This time we'll look at the Fall. Let's leave our hut, dear, Get out of our rut, dear, Let's get away from it all. *********************************************************************
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 window pane 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've heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why oh why can't I? *******************************************************************
Gather 'round me, everybody Gather 'round me, while I preach some Feel a sermon coming on here The topic will be sin And that's what I'm agin' If you wanna hear my story Then settle back and just sit tight While I start reviewing The attitude of doing right
You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween
You got to spread joy up to the maximum Bring gloom down to the minimum And have faith, or pandemonium Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark Jonah in the whale, noah in the ark, What did they do, just when everything looked so dark? Man, they said, we better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween *********************************************************************
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper Go to sleep, everything is all right.
I close my eyes, then I drift away Into the magic night, I softly say A silent prayer like dreamers do. Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.
In dreams I walk with you In dreams I talk to you In dreams you're mine All of the time, we're together In dreams, in dreams.
But just before the dawn I awake and find you gone. I can't help it, I can't help it, If I cry I remember that you said goodbye.
Its too bad that all these things Can only happen in my dreams Only in dreams In beautiful dreams. *********************************************************************
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 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 longing for you follows wherever I go In the roaring 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 yearning burning inside of me And this torment won't be through Until you let me spend my life making love to you Day and night, night and day *********************************************************************
Goodbye, no use leading with our chins This is where our story ends Ever lovers, never friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day And before you walk away I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the spring To give your heart a song to sing I wish you health And more than wealth I wish you love
And in July some lemonade To cool you in some leafy glade I wish you health And more than wealth I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree That you and I could never be So with my best My very best I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm A cozy fire to keep you warm And most of all When snowflakes fall I wish you love
And most of all When snowflakes fall I wish you love ********************************************************************

I am not such a clever one About the latest fads I admit I was never one Adored by local lads
Not that I ever try to be a saint I'm the type that they classify as quaint
I'm old fashioned I love the moonlight I love the old fashioned things
The sound of rain Upon a window pane The starry song that April sings
This year's fancies Are passing fancies But sighing sighs holding hands These my heart understands
I know I'm old fashioned But I don't mind it That's how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me
(bridge)
I'm old fashioned But I don't mind it That's how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me Oh please stay old fashioned with me
