A clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that's a dream of romance Or the scene where the villain is mean. That's entertainment! The lights on the lady in tights Or he bride with the guy by her side Or the ball where she gives it her all. That's entertainment! The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex A gay divorcee who is after her ex It could be Oedipus Rex Where a chap kills his father and causes lots of bother. The clerk who is thrown out of work By the boss who is thrown for a loss By the skirt who is doing him dirt The world is a stage; the stage is a world of entertainment! It might be a fight like you see on the screen A swain getting slain for the love of a queen Some great Shakespearean scene Where a ghost and a prince meet, and everyone ends in mincemeat. The guy who was waving the flag That began with the mystical hand Hip hooray! The American way The world is a stage; the stage is a world of entertainment! |

Waking skies
At Sunrise, Every sunset too, Seems to be Bringing me Memories of you. Here and there, Everywhere, Scenes that we once knew, And they all Just recall Memories of you. How I wish I could forget Those happy yesteryears That have left a rosary of tears. Your face beams In my dreams, Spite of all I do! Everything Seems to bring Memories of you. How I wish I could forget Those happy yesteryears That have left a rosary of tears. Your face beams In my dreams, Spite of all I do! Everything Seems to bring Memories, All those memories of you. |

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, I heard a robin sing About a nest set apart All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony Zing! Went the strings of my heart [Chorus] Your eyes made skies seem blue again What else could I do again But keep repeating through and through "I love you, love you" I still recall the thrill, guess I always will I hope 'twill never depart Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine Zing! Went the strings of 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, I heard a robin sing About a nest set apart All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony Zing! Went the strings of my heart [Chorus] I still recall the thrill, I guess I always will I hope 'twill never depart Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine Zing! Oh, Oh, Oh went the strings of my heart |

Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely
Standing on the corner feeling blue Sweethearts out for fun Pass me one by one Guess I'll wind up like I always do With only Me and my shadow Strolling down the avenue Me and my shadow Not a soul to tell our troubles to And when it's twelve o'clock We climb the stair We never knock For nobody's there Just me and my shadow All alone and feeling blue When the sun sets on the far horizon And the parlor lamps begin to glow Jim and Jack and John Put their slippers on They're all set but we'restill on the go So lonely Me and my shadow Strolling down the avenue Me and my shadow Not a soul to tell our troubles to And when it's twelve o'clock We climb the stair We never knock For nobody's there Just me and my shadow All alone and feeling blue. |

When April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May So when it's raining have no regrets Because it isn't raining rain you know It's raining violets And when you see clouds up on a hill You know they'll bring crowds of daffodils So just keep looking for a bluebird And listening for his song Whenever April showers come along And when you see clouds up on the hill You know there'll be crowds of daffodils So just keep looking for a bluebird And listening for his song Whenever April showers come a-long... |

You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me? Gee, honey, it seems to me You love to see me cryin' I don't know why I stay home each night When you say you phone You don't and I'm left alone. Sing the blues and sighin' You treat me coldly each day in the year You always scold me Whenever somebody is near, dear I must be great fun to be mean to me You shouldn't, for can't you see What you mean to me |

Whether you are here or yonder, whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander, I'm 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 You need me so Much more than you'll ever know (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 |

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
Come rain or come shine. High as a mountain and deep as a river, Come rain or come shine. I guess when you met me It was just one of those things, But don't ever bet me, "Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me. You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me, Come rain or come shine. Happy together, unhappy together And won't it be fine. Days may be cloudy or sunny, We're in or we're out of the money, But I'm with you always, I'm with you rain or shine. |

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 arrowed collars, wide spats and fifteen dollars Spending every dime for a wonderful time If you're blue and you don' know where to go to Why don't you go where fashion sits ? Putting on The Ritz Different types who wear a day, co-pants with stripes And cut away coat, perfect fits, putting on The Ritz Dressed up like a million dollar trooper Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper, super duper Come, let's mix where rocker fellas walk with sticks Or umbrellas in their mitts, putting on The Ritz Spangled gowns upon a beauty of hand-me-downs On clown and cutie, all misfits putting on The Ritz Tips his hat just like an English chappie To a lady with the wealthy happy, very snappy You'll declare it's simply topping to be there And hear them swapping smart tidbits Putting on The Ritz, putting on The Ritz Putting on The Ritz |

Day in, day out
The same old hoodoo follows me about The same old pounding in my heart whenever I think of you And, darling, 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 awaken 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 The ocean's roar A thousand drums Can't you see it's love Can there be any doubt When there it is Day in, day out |

I'll go, I'll go, 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 unknown, I'll build a world of my own No one knows better than I myself, I'm by myself alone I'm sure that love's an overrated past time It's the last time I'll ever be anything but fancy free For love is just a junior high version, one way excursion I'm sure that I am old enough to fly alone And I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own No one knows better than I myself I'm by myself alone, I'll go, I'll go by myself alone |

I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see Soon begins bewitching me It's that old devil moon That you stole from the skies It's that old devil moon in your eyes You and you glance make this romance Too hot to handle Stars in the night Blazing their light Can't hold a candle To your razzle-dazzle You've got me flyin' high and wide On a magic carpet ride Full of butterflies inside Wanna cry, wanna croon Wanna laugh like a loon It's that old devil moon in your eyes Just when I think I'm free as a dove Old devil moon Deep in your eyes Blinds me with love |

People are queer, they're always crowing, scrambling and rushing about
Why don't they stop someday, address themselves this way? Why are we here? Where are we going? It's time that we found out We're not here to stay; we're on a short holiday Life is just a bowl of cherries Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious You work, you save, you worry so But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go So keep repeating it's the berries The strongest oak must fall The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned So how can you lose what you've never owned? Life is just a bowl of cherries So live and laugh at it all Life is just a bowl of cherries Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious At eight each morning I have got a date To take my plunge 'round the Empire State You'll admit it's not the berries In a building that's so tall There's a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss Get thousands a week just for crooning like this Life is just a bowl of, aw, nuts! So live and laugh at it all! |

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I 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 Someday 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, bluebirds 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? |
