Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy When he's playing with his choo-choo toy When I'm with my sweet Lorraine She's got a pair of eyes That are bluer than the summer sky When you see her you're gonna realize Why I love my sweet Lorraine When it's raining I don't miss the sun 'cause it's in my sweeties smile Just think that I'm the lucky one Who will lead her down the aisle Each night how I pray That nobody steals her heart away I can't wait until that lucky day When I marry my Lorraine When it's raining I never miss the sun 'cause it's in my sweeties smile Just the think that I'm the lucky one Who's gonna lead her down the aisle Each night how I pray That nobody steals her heart away I can't wait until that lucky day When I marry my Lorraine That'll be the day when I marry my Lorraine |

A small caf, mam'selle
Our rendez-vouz, mam'selle The violins were warm and sweet and so were you, mam'selle And as the night danced by A kiss became a sigh Your lovely eyes Seem to sparkle just like wine does No heart ever yearned the way that mine does, for you And yet I know too well Someday you'll say goodbye Then violins will cry And so will I, mam'selle. |

The song a robin sings,
Through years of endless springs, The murmur of a brook at evening tides. That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide. That great symphonic theme, That's Stella by starlight, And not a dream, My heart and I agree, She's everything on this earth to me. That great symphonic theme, That's Stella by starlight, And not a dream, My heart and i agree, She's everything on this earth to me. |

It's quarter to 3
Theres no one in the place Except you and me. So set em' up, Joe I got a little story I think you should know. We're drinkin' my friends to the end of a brief episode. Make it one for my baby and one more for the road I got the routine Put another nickel in the machine Feelin' so bad Can't you make the music Easy and sad. I could tell you a lot but you've gotta be True to your code Just 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 when I'm gloomy Won't you listen to me Till' its talked away? Well, thats how it goes And Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close. And thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear. But this torch that I've found It's gotta be drowned Or it soon might explode. So make it one for my baby and one more for the road The long, it's so long... The long, very long... |

Autumn in New York Why does it seem so exciting (inviting) Autumn in New York It spells the thrill of first-knighting Shimmering clouds - glimmering crowds (glittering crowds and shimmering clouds) In canyons of steel They're making me feel - I'm home It's autumn in New York That brings a (the) promise of new love Autumn in New York Is often mingled with pain Dreamers with empty hands (They) All sigh for exotic lands (But) It's autumn in New York It's good to live it again This autumn in New York Transforms the slums into Mayfair Autumn in New York You'll need no castles in Spain Lovers that bless the dark On benches in Central Park (But) It's autumn in New York It's good to live it again (- in New York) |

There was a boy...
A very strange enchanted boy. They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea, A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he. And then one day, A magic day, he passed my way. And while we spoke of many things, Fools and kings, This he said to me, The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return. There was a boy... A very strange enchanted boy.

The statue in the harbor is a lovely sight,
The Rockettes in precision are a sheer delight, But I for one would rather visit John McKnight, Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa, Meet me at the Copa tonight. There are those who just adore the Art Museum, And out in Brooklyn, there's a ballpark and it seems, But I don't care a whole lot if I never zeem, Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa, Meet at the Copa tonight. The show goes on, and on, and on, Do you hear the applause and the cheering, Even if you're wooing, drop what you're doing, Hurry down to see what you're hearing. On 52nd street, they now have burleque, And you count the effervescence and the view, But all that stuff that squares is my advice to you, Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa, Meet at the Copa tonight. <musical interlude> Now some of you may like to go to movie shows, Or walk along Fifth Avenue to view the clothes, But here's the place that's famous for geriatric nose, Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa, Meet at the Copa tonight. You'll see the nicest people in the nicest cars, They constantly use the lounge across the lovely bars, And it's the spot where stars come just to see the stars, Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa, Meet at the Copa tonight. The show goes on, and on, and on, Do you hear the applause and the cheering, Even if you're wooing, drop what you're doing, Hurry down to see what you're hearing. The most amazing club in town you will admit, It's imitated quite a lot but this is it. And if you want to see where the new acts hit, Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa, Meet at the Copa tonight. |

I'm a fool to want you I'm a fool to want you To want a love that can't be true A love that's there for others too I'm a fool to hold you Such a fool to hold you To seek a kiss not mine alone To share a kiss that Devil has known Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I had to say Take me back, I love you ...I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along Without you |

If they asked me, I could write a book; About the way you walk, and whisper; And look. I could write a preface; On how we met; That the world will never forget. And the simple; Secret of the plot; Is just to tell them; That I love you, alot. Then the world discovers; As my book ends; How to make two lovers of friends |

My girl is violin and candlelight,
My girl is star-shine on a summer night. Lucky heart to be part of a love like this, Where every single kiss is a short-cut to heaven. Heaven knows, she's everything that's dear to me, She smiles, and cloudy days are clear to me. Yes, the world is my oyster and I got the pearl, And I'm happy 'cause I got my girl. My girl is autumn days and skies of gold, A fire to dream by, when the night is cold. Yes, the world is my oyster and I've got the pearl, I'm happy 'cause I've got my girl. |

Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diff'rent tune One that they could croon As only they can They only had the rhythm So they started swaying to and fro They didn't know just what to use That is how the blues really began They heard the breeze in the trees Singing weird melodies And they made that the start of the blues And from a jail came the wail Of a down-hearted frail And they played that As part of the blues From a whippoorwill Out on a hill They took a new note Pushed it through a horn 'Til it was worn Into a blue note And then they nursed it, rehearsed it And gave out the news That the Southland gave birth to the blues! |

My lean baby - tall and thin
Five feet seven - of bones and skin But when she tells me maybe she loves me I feel as mellow as a fellow can be She's so skinny - she's so drawn When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) she's gone But when she calls me: "baby" - I feel fine To think she's frantically, romantically mine She's slender, but she's tender She makes my heart surrender And every night, when I hold her tight The feeling is nice - my arms can go around twice My lean baby - she's so slim A broomstick's wider - but not as trim And when she starts to kiss me - then I know I love her so, I'll never, ever, let her go My lean baby - strange to see And all that nothing - it belongs to me And though she may be scrawny - she's OK Because I wouldn't want her any other way She's so skinny - she's so drawn When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) she's gone But when she calls me: "baby" - I feel fine To think she's frantically, romantically mine I chased her - and I caught her Then a diamond ring - I bought her (Hey) The diamonds shine - the ring is so fine But here is the twist - she wears it right on her wrist My lean baby - she's so slim A broomstick's wider - but not as trim And when she starts to kiss me - then I know I love her so, I'll never, ever, let her go My lean baby - tall and thin... (do-do-do-do-do,...) |

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow Got the string around my finger What a world, what a life - I'm in love I've got a song that I sing I can make the rain go Any time I move my finger Lucky me, can't you see - I'm in love Life's a beautiful thing As long as I hold the string I'd be a silly so-and-so If I should ever let her go |

Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along Just you forget about me Be happy my love Just say that our little show is over And so the story ends Why not call it a day, the sensible way And we'll remain friends Look out for yourself Should be the rule Just give your heart and your love, to whom ever you love Don't you be a fool Baby why stop and cling, to some fading thing That used to be So if you can't forget Don't you worry 'bout me |

You vowed your love
From here to eternity A love so true, It never would die You gave your lips Gave them so willingly How could I know Your kiss meant goodbye? Now I'm alone With only a memory My empty arms Will never know why... Though you are gone This love that you left with me Will live from here to eternity. Now I'm alone With only a memory My empty arms Will never know why... Though you are gone This love that you left with me will live... From here to eternity. |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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. |

Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you If you're young at heart For it's hard you will find To be narrow of mind If you're young at heart You can go to extremes With impossible schemes You can laugh when your dreams Fall apart at the seams And life gets more exciting with each passing day And love is either in your heart Or on it's way Don't you know that it's worth Every treasure on earth To be young at heart For as rich as you are It's much better by far To be young at heart And if you should survive to 105 Look at all you'll derive Out of being alive And here is the best part You've had a head start If you are among the very Young at heart And if you should survive to 105 Think of all you'll derive Out of being alive And here is the best part You've had a head start If you are among the very Young at heart... |
