Except you and me So set 'em up Joe, I got a little story I think you should 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 know the routine, put another nickel In the machine I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music Easy and sad I could tell you a lot, but it'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 I'd like to say And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me Till it's talked away Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin' Anxious to close Thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind My bending your ear But this torch that I found, it's gotta be drowned Or it's gonna explode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road
I've got you under my skin I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin.
I try so not to give in I say to myself this affair, it never will go so well But why do I try to resist when honey, I know damn well That I've got you under my skin.
(1) I would sacrafice anything come what might For the sake of having you near, in spite Of a warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, how it yells in my ear "Don't you know you fool, aint' no way you can win Why not use your mentality, Get up, wake up to reality" But each time I try, just the thought of you Makes me stop just before I begin, 'Cos I've got you under my skin.
Isn't it rich, are we a pair Me here at last on the ground - you in mid-air Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve One who keeps tearing around - and one who can't move Where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors Finally knowing the one that I wanted - was yours Making my entrance again with my usual flair Sure of my lines - noone is there
Don't you love a farce; my fault I fear I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear But where are the clowns - there ought to be clowns Quick, send in the clowns
What a suprise who could forsee I come to feel about you what you felt about me why only now that I see that you drifted away What a suprise, what a klich?br /> Isn't it rich, isn't it queer Losing my timing this late in my career But where are the clowns - send in the clowns Well maybe next year
Every time it rains, It rains pennies from heaven Don't you know each cloud contains Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune's falling All over the town Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers If you want the things you love, you must have showers So when you hear it thunder don't run under a tree There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
It's the wrong time and the wrong place Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face It's not her face, but such a charming face That it's all right with me
It's the wrong song in the wrong style Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile It's not her smile, but such a lovely smile So it's all right with me
You can't know how happy I am that we've met I'm strangely attracted to you There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget Don't you want to forget someone, too?
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips They're not her lips, but they're such tempting lips That if some night you're free Dear, it's all right Yes, it's all right with me
DISCLAIMER: This is a 3:15 live TV version and Frank may never have sung it exactly this way before or after.
My story is much to sad to be told But practically everything leaves me totally cold The only exception I know is the case When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui Then I suddenly turn and see Your fabulous face
Chorus:
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
[3 different verses for every song]
(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)
(Some they may go for cocaine) (I'm sure that if, I took even one sniff) (It would bore me terrifically too) (But 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 But I get a kick out of you
The stars have lost their glitter The winds grow colder Suddenly you're a lot older And all because of the gal that got away No more her eager call The writing is on the wall All those dreams you dreamed They have all gone astray The gal who won you She's run off and undone you That great beginning Has seen its final inning I don't know what happened It's all a crazy game No more - no more that all time thrill Because you have been put though the mill And never a new love Will ever be the same Good riddance good-bye Every trick of hers you are on to But fools will be fools And where's she gone? - Where has she gone? The road gets rougher It's lonelier and it's tougher With hope you burn up Tomorrow maybe she'll turn up There ain't no let up Live long night, night and day Ever since, (since) this world began There ain't nothin' sadder than A long lost loser Lookin' for his gal who got away Please come back Won't you come back
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 rarified We'll just glide, starry-eyed Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together
Weather-wise it's such a lovely day You just say the words and we'll beat the birds Down to Acapulco Bay It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
(instrumental)
Once I get you up there where the air is rarified We'll just glide, starry-eyed Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together
Weather-wise it's such a lovely day You just say the words and we'll beat the birds Down to Acapulco Bay It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly Pack up, let's fly away!!
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 and 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 likes the free, fresh wind in her hair Life without care She's broke--and it's "oke" Hates California, it's cold and it's damp That's why the lady is a tramp

When I was seventeen It was a very good year It was a very good year for small town girls And soft summer nights We'd hide from the lights On the village green When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one It was a very good year It was a very good year for city girls Who lived up the stair With all that perfumed hair And it came undone When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five It was a very good year It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls Of independent means We'd ride in limousines Their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five
But now the days grow short I'm in the autumn of the year And now I think of my life as vintage wine From fine old kegs From the brim to the dregs And it poured sweet and clear It was a very good year
Strangers in the night exchanging glances Wond'ring in the night What were the chances we'd be sharing love Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting, Something in you smile was so exciting, Something in my heart, Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people We were strangers in the night Up to the moment When we said our first hello. Little did we know Love was just a glance away, A warm embracing dance away and -
Ever since that night we've been together. Lovers at first sight, in love forever. It turned out so right, For strangers in the night
This, is - my kind of town, Chicago is - my kind of town, Chicago is - My kind of - people, too - People who - smile at you. And each time - I roam, Chicago is - calling me home Chicago is - why I just grin like a clown, It's my kind of town! My kind of town - Chicago is - My kind of town - Chicago is, My kind of - razzamatazz, And it has, all that jazz - and - each time I leave - Chicago is - Tugging my sleeve - Chicago is, The wriggly building - Chicago is The union stockyard - Chicago is - one town that won't let you down - It's my kind of town......
Ya make me feel so young. You make me feel so "Spring has sprung", And every time I see you grin I'm such a happy individual. The moment that you speak I wanna go play hide-and-seek. I wanna go and bounce the moon Just like a toy balloon. You and I are just like a couple of tots Runnin' across the meadow Pickin' 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. You make me feel so young. You make me feel so "Spring has sprung", And 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 Runnin' across the meadow Pickin' 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, wonderful fling to be flung. And even when I'm old and gray I'm gonna feel the way I do today 'Cause you - you make me feel so young. You make me feel so young.
For once in my life i have someone who needs me Someone i've needed so long For once, unafraid, i can go where life leads me And somehow i know i'll be strong
For once i can touch what my heart used to dream of Long before i knew Someone warm like you Would make my dreams come true
For once in my life i won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before For once, i have something i know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore
For once, i can say, this is mine, you can't take it As long as i know i have love, i can make it For once in my life, i have someone who needs me
What now my love, now that you've left me How can I live through another day Watching my dreams turn to ashes And my hopes turn to bits of clay
Once I could see, once I could feel Now I am numb, I've become unreal I walk the night, without a goal Stripped of my heart and my soul
What now my love, now that it's over I feel the world falling all around me Here come the stars, tumbling around me There's the sky, where that sea should be
What now my love, now that you're gone I'd be a fool to go on and on No one would care, no one would cry If I should live if I should live or die
What now my love, now there is nothing Only my last, my last good-bye
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear And he shows 'em, pearly white Just a jack knife has Macheath, dear And he keeps it, keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows, they begin to spread Fancy white gloves though has Macheath, dear So there's rarely, never one trace of red
On the sidewalk, one Sunday mornin' Lies a body oozin' life Someone's sneaking 'round the corner Could that someone, perhaps, perchance, be Mack the Knife?
From a tugboat on the river goin' slow A cement bag, it is dropping down Yeah, the cement is just for the weight, dear You can make a large bet Macheath is back in town
My man Louie Miller, he split the scene, babe After drawin' out all the bread from his stash Now Macheath spends just like a pimp, babe Do you suppose that our boy, he did something rash?
Ah, old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin They did this song nice, Lady Ella too They all sang it, with so much feeling That Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new
But with Quincy's big band, right behind me Swinging hard, Jack, I know I can't lose When I tell you, all about Mack the Knife babe It's an offer, you can never refuse
We got George Benson, we got Newman & Foster We got the Brecker Brothers, and Hampton's bringing up the rear All these bad cats, and more, are in the band now They make the greatest sounds, you ever gonna hear
Hey Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver, Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lulu Brown Oh the line forms, on the right dear Now that Macheath, I mean that man Macheath Yeah he's bad, mercy mercy Yeah he's badder than old Leroy Brown You better lock your door, and call the law Because Macheath's, that bum, He's back in town
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 lad I've had in mind Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget Only man I ever think of with regret I'd like to add his initial to my monogram Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longing to see I hope that he turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood I know I could always be good Someone who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome To my heart he carries the key Won't you tell him please to put on some speed Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me
The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea It lingered there, so warm and fair - to walk with me All summer long, we sang a song - and strolled on golden sand Two sweethearts, and the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights - went flyin' by The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you And I lost you, to the summer wind
The autumn wind, and the winter wind - have come and gone And still the days, those lonely days - go on and on And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end My fickle friend, the summer wind
When all the songs are out of tune, And all the rhymes ring so untrue; When I don't find the words to say - The thoughts I long to bring to you; When I hear lonely singers Who are just as lost as me - Making noise, not melody:
You will be my music. You will be song. You will be my music. I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
I'll never find the song to tell me All the things I need to say. And I'm afraid as time goes by That someday soon you'll go away. And I'll be lost in trying For songs I'll never sing. Wanting you is everything:
You will be my music. You will be song. You will be my music. I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong. I can't wait any longer for my song.
Where there is sunrise, there is Barbara, only Barbara clothes that way, Where there is laughter, there is Barbara, always Barbara warm and gay. And when there's music, she is the song, the song I'm singing my whole life long. There's no one just like her, like Barbara, only Barbara is so rare. Wherever she is, I'll be there. There's no one just like her, like Barbara, only Barbara, she's so rare, Wherever she is, I'll be there.
When most us saddle up for the old trail for our last ride, we leave little enough behind to show that once we have camped here. Some leave more than others, some a memory and some a fortune, some a song. And a song can be as fine a memorial to a man as anything that can be left behind, 'cause you see it's gold, and it's gold that all can share. We have a great song to remember Lorenz Hart by, that wonderful melody that he and Dick Rodgers wrote for the Connecticut Yankee, of course you know, My Heart Stood Still [sings] I took one look at you, that's all I meant to do And then my heart stood still, My feet could step and walk, my lips could move and talk And yet my heart stood still. Though not a single word was spoken, I could tell you knew That unfelt clasp of hands told me so well you knew I never lived at all until the thrill of that moment When my heart stood still. (That unfelt clasp of hands told me how well you knew, hmmmm) I laughed at sweethearts I met at schools All indiscreet hearts seemed romantic fools (A house in Iceland was my heart's domain) (I saw your eyes, now castles rise in Spain!) [a brief interlude through the first verse] Though not a single word was spoken, I could tell you knew That unfelt clasp of hands told me so well that you knew I never lived at all [until the thrill of that moment] [When my heart stood still.]
[Version 2]
I took one look at you, That's all I meant to do And then my heart stood still My feet could step and walk My lips could move and talk And yet my
I've been alive forever, And I sang the very first song, I put the words and the melodies together, I am music and I sing this song:
I sing the songs that make the whole world sing, I sing the songs of love and special things, I sing the songs that make the young girls cry, I sing the songs, I sing the songs.
My home is deep within you, And I've got my own place in your soul, Now when I look out through your eyes, I am young again even though I'm growing old.
I sing the songs that make the whole world sing, I sing the songs of love and special things, I sing the songs that make the young girls cry, I sing the songs, I sing the songs.
My music makes you dance, It gets your spirit to take a chance, And if the music's from the heart, It's a real fine way to start, It's from me, it's to you, It's from you, it's to me, It's a world-wide symphony.
I sing the songs that make the whole world sing, I sing the songs of love and special things, I sing the songs that make the young girls cry, I sing the songs, I sing the songs.
I sing, and the whole world sings, I sing the songs of love and special things, I sing the songs that make the young girls cry, I sing the songs, I sing the songs. I am music, and I sing the songs.
The music she moves to, is music that makes me a dancer I brought her my wildest of dreams, and she came up with the answer I leave behind a part of myself, whenever I leave her But oh, when I'm back in her arms She smiles and then - I am home again
'Cause L.A. is my lady She's always there for me L.A. is my lady She knows how to care for me No lady's sweeter - you know it the moment you meet her
I've been in love more times, than I care to remember And love's kept me cool in July and warm in December It may not have lasted, but each time I thought it was heaven You name it, I've been there and back Lookin' for someone who - I'd be faithful to
L.A. is my lady She's always there for me L.A. is my lady She knows how to care for me She's good to me - yeah she's good to me
And that's why L.A. is my lady - L.A. is my lady And you're lookin' at a man who - doesn't ever plan to Kiss his lady bye-bye
You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart
I know that this is the beginning Though I loved you for one million years But if I thought our love was ending I'd find myself drowning in my own tears
You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart
You must have known that I was lonely Because you came to my rescue And though I know that this is heaven How could so much love be inside of you
You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart
('Cause you are) You are the sunshine - of my life (Of my life, of my life) (Light my fire baby, light my fire,
All or nothing at all Half a love, never appealed to me If your heart, never could yield to me Then I'd rather (rather) have nothing at all
All or nothing at all If it's love, there is no in between Why begin then cry, for something that might have been No I'd rather (rather) have nothing at all
But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak And my heart may go dizzy and fall
And if I fell (I fell) under the spell of your call I would be, caught in the undertow So you see, I've got to say no, no All or nothing at all
One day you turn around and it's summer Next day you turn around and it's fall And the springs and the winters of a lifetime Whatever happened to them all?
As a man who has always had the wand'ring ways Now I'm reaching back for yesterdays 'Til a long-forgotten love appears And I find that I'm sighing softly as I near September, the warm September of my years
As I man who has never paused at wishing wells Now I'm watching children's carousels And their laughter's music to my ears And I find that I'm smiling gently as I near September, the warm September of my years
And now the end is near 이제 마지막이 가까워 졌군 And so I face the final curtain 내 생의 마지막 순간을 대하고 있어 My friend, I'll say it clear 내 친구여, 확실하게 말하고 싶은게 있어 I'll state my case of which I'm certain 나는 내가 확신한대로 살았던 내 삶의 방식을 애기할께
I've lived a life that's full 나는 바쁘게 살아왔지 I've traveled each and every highway 정말 많은것을 경험하며 돌아 다녔지만 And more, much more than this 그보다 더 중요한건 I did it my way 난 항상 내방식으로 해왔다는 거야.
Regrets, I've had a few 후회, 하기야 했지만 But then again, too few to mention 하지만, 말할거리가 있을 만큼 후회한 건 없어 I did what I had to do 나는 할일만을 했고 And saw it through without exemption 그리고 있는 그대로만을 지켜봐왔어
I planned each charted course 나는 정석만을 따랐고 Each careful step along the byway 한걸음 한걸음 조심해서 걸어왔고 Oh, and more, much more than this 그리고 그리고 그것보다 더 중요한건 I did it my way 난 그걸 항상 내 방식대로 해왔어
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you know 그리고 그런 때도 있었지. 아마 너도 알겠지. When I bit off more than I could chew 그렇다고 걱정할 만큼 많은 것도 아니야 But through it all when there was doubt 하지만 그동안 남은 후회들은 I ate it up and spit it out 다 씹어버리고 뱉어내었어 I faced it all and I stood tall 그 모든 걸 대면하고 그 앞에 꿋꿋히 섰어 And did it my way 그리고 그 모든걸 내 방식으로 해왔지
I've loved, I've laughed and cried 사랑했고, 웃었고, 울었지 I've had my fill, my share of losing 고생도 했고, 쉬엄쉬엄한 적도 있었지 And now as tears subside 이제 눈물이 말라가면서 I find it all so amusing 난 그 모든게 재밌어 보이는 거야 To think I did all that 그 모든 것을 내가 다 거쳐왔다는 것이 And may I say, not in a shy way 그리고, 이렇게 말해도 될까, Oh, no, no not me 난 안 그랬다고.. 난 당당하게 I did it my way 항상 내 방식대로 해왔어
For what is a man, what has he got 남자로서, 그가 가진 것으로서 If not himself, then he has not 그 자신이 아니라면, To say the things he truly feels 그는 그가 진짜 느낀 것 들을 말해서는 안 되지 And not the words of one who kneels 무릎 꿇는 자의 목소리로 들려서는 안 돼. The record shows I took the blows 세상이 내가 당당하게 살아왔다는 것을 알고 있어 And did it my way 그리고 내 방식으로 해왔다는 것을. The record shows I took the blows 세상이 나의 당당한 삶을 알지 And did it my way 항상 내 방식대로 해왔어
