1.Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart

Lyrics:James F.Hanley
Music:James F.Hanley


Never could carry a tune, never knew where to start
You came along when everything was wrong and put a song in my
heart

Dear when you smiled at me, I heard a melody
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me started a symphony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart

'Twas like a breath of spring, heard a robin sing
About a nest set apart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart

Your eyes made skies blue again
What else could I do again
Keep repeating through again
'I love you, love you'

I still recall the thrill, guess I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart


Your eyes made skies blue again
What else could I do again?
Keep repeating through again
'I love you, I do love you'

I still recall the thrill, I guess that I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart


2.I Can't Give You Anything But Love

Lyrics:Dorothy Fields
Music:Jimmy Mchugh

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
You're sure to find
Happiness and I guess
All those things you've always pined for

Now, gee I love to see you lookin' 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


3.This Is It

Music:Arthur Schwartz

This is it, my great romance
I want to hang on to this one big chance
You're mine, my loneliness dies
I feel fine, with stars in my eyes

Oh, it fills me up to such a height
To know this is so very real and right
And I, thought love passed me by
But I must admit this is it!

Repeat last verse

This is it, this is it, this is it...


4.More Than You Know

Written:Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I am growing fonder of you

Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
Give you the break you need

More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find, you're on my mind
More than you know

Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
I need you so
Much more than you'll ever know

Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it

Oh how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry
If you got tired, and said good-bye
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know


5.I Am Loved

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter

I am loved, I am loved by the one I love in every way,
I am loved, absolutely loved,
What a wonderful thing to be able to say.

I'm adored, I'm adored by the one who first led my heart astray,
I'm adored, absolutely adored,
What a wonderful thing to be able to say.

So ring out the bells, and let the trumpets blow,
And beat on the drums, 'cause now I know, I know,
I am loved, I am loved,
What a wonderful thing, what a beautiful thing,
What a glorious thing to be able to say.

What a wonderful thing, what a beautiful thing,
What a glorious thing, I am loved.


6.I Hadn't Anyone Till You

Lyrics:Ray Noble
Music:Ray Noble

I hadn't anyone
Till you
I was a lonely one
Till you
I used to lie awake and wonder
If there could be
A someone in this wide world
Just made for me
And now I see
I had to save my love
For you
I never gave my love
Till you
And through my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took a hand in it
I hadn't anyone
Till you
And through my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took a hand in it
I hadn't anyone
Till you


7.I Concentrate On You

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter

Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you

When fortune cries 'Nay, nay' to me
And people declare 'You're through'
Whenever the blues become my only songs
I concentrate on you

On your smile, so sweet, so tender
When at first my kiss you do decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine

And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even the wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you


8.I'm Confessin'(That I Love You)

I'm Confessin' that I love you,
Tell me do you love me too
I'm Confessin' that I need you, honest I do
In your eyes I read such strange thing
But your lips deny they are true
Will your answer really change things
Making me blue
I'm afraid someday you'll leave me
Saying can't we still be friends
If you go you'll grieve me
All in life on you depends
I'm I guessing that you love me
Dreaming dreams of you in vain
I'm Confessin' that I love you
Over again


9.Do I Love You?

Written:Phil Spector/Vince Poncia Jr./Pete Andreoli

Do I want you for my baby
Do I want you by my side
Do I wanna run and kiss your lips
Say you're my loving guy - oh oh...
(Do I love you)
(Yes I love you)
Do I need your arms around me
Do I live my life for you
Do I always feel so warm each time
I look in your eyes of blue - oh oh...
(Do I love you)
(Yes I love you)
Oh Oh

And do I need you every minute of the day
And would I die if you should ever go away
And does it mean so much to feel your tender touch
Do I love you (Do I love you)
Oh I swear I'm gonna get you if takes me all my life
I'll hope and pray and dream and scheme
Cause I'm gonna be your wife
(Do I love you)
(Yes I love you)

Do I love you
Yes I love you
Do I love you
Yes I love you (fade)


10.Do It Again

In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in but they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' so they put you on the street

You go back, Jack, do it again, wheels turinin' 'round and
'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

When you know she's no high climber then you find your only
friend
In a room with your two timer, but you're sure you're near the
end
Then you love a little wild one, and she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin', you'll be on your knees
tomorrow

Chorus

Guitar Solo
Keyboard Solo

Now you swear and kick and beg us that yopu're not a gamblin'
man;
Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
Your black cards can bring you money so you hide them when
you're able
In the land of milk and honey you must put them on the table

Chorus


11.Day In-Day Out

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Rube Bloom

Day in - day out
That same old voodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart, whenever I think of you
And baby I think of you
Day in and day out

Day out - day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I get up with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

Come rain - come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
When there it is, day in - day out


12.By Myself

I'll go my way by myself
This is the end of romance
I'll go my way by myself
Love is only a dance
I'll try to apply myself
And teach my heart how to sing
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing
I'll face the unkown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself alone
I'll go my way by myself
Here's how the comedy ends
I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends
Gray clouds in the sky above
Have put a blotch on my fun
I'll try to fly high above
For my place in the sun
I'll face the unkown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
No one knows better than I myself
How I wanted love and fell
Now I say what the hell
All of those black days are gone
Cause its solo, all alone
By myself, from now on


13.Little Girl Blue

Written:Lorenz Hart/Richard Rodgers

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do
Old girl you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue

When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung with every star in the sky
Above the ring I love so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold

All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue


14.Me And My Shadow

Written:Al Jolson/Dave Dreyer/Billy Rose

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you'll never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.

Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza

Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog when it clings to L.A.
We're closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue

And when it's sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!

Me and my shadow
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at Jilly's right after Toot's Shore
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me!

Say Frank?
What is it, Sam?
Do me a favor?
What do you want, now?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time?
From the top?
No! From the ending!
Wonderful!

And while we are swinging, to mention a few
We'll drop in at Danny's, The Little Club too
But wind up at Jilly's, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Wow!)
For my shadow and me!

Frank?
Oh, forget it Sam.


15.Among My Souvenirs

Lyrics:Edgar Leslie
Music:Horatio Nichols

There's nothing left for me of days that used to be,
I live in memory among my souvenirs.
Some letters tied with blue, 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.

(a few bars)

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.


16.I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues

Lyrics:Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler
Music:Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low-down
I gotta right to hang around
Down
around the river

A certain gal in this old town
Keeps draggin' my poor (old) heart around
All I see,
for me is - misery

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to
sit and cry
Down around the river

I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love -
say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues


17.I Get The Blues When It Rains

I get the blues when it rains
Oh! them mean old blues when it rains
Each little drop fallin' on my window pane
Reminds me of them tears I shed in vain
I sit and wait for the sun
To shine down on me once again
Oh! It rained when I found you
It rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues when it rains

(Instrumental)

Well, it rained when I found you
Oh! it rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues
That's why I get the blues
I get those goddamn blues
That's why I get the blues when it rains


18.Mean To Me

Lyrics:Roy Turk
Music:Fred Ahlert

Sweetheart I love you
Think the world of you
But I'm afraid you don't care for me
You never show it
Don't let me know it
Everyone says I'm a fool to be
Pining the whole day through
Why do you act like you do

You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me
Gee honey it seems to me
You love to see me crying

I don't know why I stay home
Each night when you say you'll phone
You don't and I'm left alone
Singing the blues and sighing

You treat me coldly each day of the year
You always scold me whenever somebody is near dear

It must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't for can't you see
What you mean to me

You treat me coldly each day of the year
You always scold me whenever somebody is near dear

It must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't for can't you see
What you mean to me


19.How About Me?

Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin

It's over
All over
And soon somebody else will make a fuss about you
But how about me?

It's over
All over
And soon somebody else will tell his friends about you
But how about me?

You'll find somebody new
But what am I to do?
I'll still remember you
When you have forgotten

And maybe
A baby
Will climb upon your knee and put its arms about you
But how about me?


20.Just A Memory

The sadness comes when it's least expected
It shot out of the dark, and slammed in our face
The hurt it brings can't be stopped
The hurt it brings can't be cured, oh

Just when I thought things were alright
You came in and broke my heart
My stomach's full of butterflies
The thought of you gone, it tears me apart

I remember you and me when we used to
Laugh all night until we fell asleep, oh
And i know we're through
But i've still got thoughts of you left inside my head

Well... in my head...

The love that I have for you
Is done and dead, it's so far away
And you're still here in my head
And you're still here, you'll never leave my heart

Just when I thought things were alright
You came in and broke my heart
My stomach's full of butterflies
The thought of you gone, it tears me apart

I remember you and me when we used to
Laugh all night until we fell asleep, oh
And i know we're through
But i've still got thoughts of you left inside my head

So stop me now
Stop my thoughts cause you're killin me
But you don't know
Even though we've grown apart
I'll still be there for you
Cause I don't wanna be just a memory to you
Cause I don't wanna be just a memory to you


21.Blue Prelude

Let me cry, let me sigh when I'm blue
Let me go away from this lonely town
It won't be long till my song will be through
Now I know I'm on my last go round

All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Couldn't heal all this pain in my soul
Why is love but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak, a heartbreak ahead for your goal

All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Couldn't heal all this pain in my soul
Why is love but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak, a heartbreak ahead for your goal

Go now you know why I'm leaving
Got the blues
What can I lose
Goodbye


22.Happy New Year

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are
Me and you
Feeling lost
And feeling blue
It's the end
Of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike
Yesterday
Now's the time for us to say

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't, we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see
How it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be ok
Dragging on (ooh)
Feet of clay (ooh)
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going
Anyway

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't, we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead
Nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end (end)
Of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say (ooh)
What we'll find (ooh)
What lies waiting
Down the line
In the end of
Eighty-nine?

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't, we might as well lay down and die
You and I


23.Then You've Never Been Blue
