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 |

A foggy day,
in London town, it had me low, and it had me down I viewed the morning, with much alarm, the British Museum, had lost its charm How long I wondered, could this thing last, but the age of miracles, it hadn't past And suddenly, I saw you standing right there And in foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere |

Lately, I find myself gazing at stars, hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me, mostly whenever you're around me. Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings, bump into things like someone in love. Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove, and feeling like someone in love. |

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) |

When you were very young, the world was younger than you,
As merry as a carousel, The circus tent was strung with ever star in the sky, Above the ring you loved so well. Now the young world has grown old, gone are the silver and gold, Chorus : Sit there and count your fingers, what can you do, Old girl, you're through. Just sit there and count your little fingers, unhappy little girl blue. Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you, It's time you knew, All you can count on are the raindrops that fall on little girl blue. No use, old girl, you might as well surrender, Your hopes are getting slender, why won't somebody send a tender Blue boy to cheer up little girl blue. |

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 |

It was winter in Manhattan, falling snow flakes filled the air,
The streets were covered with a film of ice, But a little simple magic that I learned about somewhere, Changed the weather all around, just within a thrice. I bought you violets for your furs and it was spring for a while, remember? I bought you violets for your furs and there was April in that December. The snow drifted down and the flowers, and that is where it lay. The snow looked like dew and the blossoms as on a summer day. I bought you violets for your furs and there was blue in the wintry sky, You pinned my violets to your furs and gave a lift to the crowds passing by, You smiled at me so sweetly, since then one thought occurs, That we fell in love completely, the day I bought you violets for your furs. |

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings One of those bells that now and then rings Just one of those things It was just one of those nights Just one of those fabulous flights A trip to the moon on gossamer wings Just one of those things If we'd thought a bit before the end of it When we started painting the town We'd have been aware that our love affair Was too hot not to cool down So good-bye, dear, and amen Here's hoping we meet now and then It was great fun But it was just one of those things |

NOTE: There may well be more lyrics than this short 1:00 version, which was broadcast on "Your Hit
Parade" in 1944. Additions from a longer version are welcome. I'm blue ev'ry Monday thinkin' over Sunday That one day when I'm with you It seems that I sigh all day Tuesday and I cry all day Wednesday Oh, my, how I long for you And then comes Thursday Gee, it's long and never goes by Friday makes me feel like I'm gonna die But after payday is my fun day, I shine all day Sunday That one day when I'm with you |

When skies are cloudy and grey
They're only grey for a day So wrap your troubles in dreams And dream your troubles away Until that sunshine peeps through There's only one thing to do Just wrap your troubles in dreams And dream all your troubles away Your castles may tumble (that's fate after all) Life's really funny that way No use to grumble, smile as they fall Weren't you king for a day? Just remember that sunshine Always follows the rain So wrap your troubles in dreams And dream your troubles away Your castles may tumble (that's fate after all) Life's really funny that way But no need to grumble, smile as they fall Weren't you king for a day? Just remember that sunshine Always follows the rain So wrap your troubles in dreams And dream... dreeaaam your troubles away |

Here I go again I hear those trumpets blow again All aglow again Taking a chance on love Here I slide again About to take that ride again Starry eyed again Taking a chance on love I thought that cards were a frame-up I never would try Now I'm taking that game up And the ace of hearts is high Things are mending now I see a rainbow blending now We'll have a happy ending now Taking a chance on love Here I slip again About to take that trip again I got that grip again Taking a chance on love Now I prove again That I can make life move again I'm in a grove again Taking a chance on love I walk around with a horseshoe In clover I lie And brother rabbit of course you Better kiss your foot good-bye On that ball again I'm riding for a fall again I'm gonna give my all again Taking a chance on love |

Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those eyes? Gosh all git-up, how'd you get so lit up? Gosh all git up, how'd it get that size? Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on, Woe is me, got to put my cheaters on. Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers? Oh those weepers, how they hypnotize! Where'd you get those eyes? |

Forget your troubles and just get happy, you better chase all your cares away.
Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy, get ready for the Judgment Day. The sun is shining, come on get happy, the Lord is waiting to take your hand. Shout Hallelujah, come on get happy, we're going to the promised land. We're heading 'cross the river, wash your sins 'way in the tide. It's so peaceful on the other side. |

All of me
Why not take all of me Can't you see I'm no good without you Take my lips I wanna lose them Take my arms I'll never use them Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry How can I get along without you You took the part that ones was my heart So why not, why not take all of me All of me Come on get all of me Can't you see I'm just a mess without you Take my lips I wanna lose them Get a piece of these arms I'll never use them Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry How can I ever make it without you You know you got the part Used to be my heart So why not, why not take all of me |
