1.I Love You Porgy
George and ira gershwin ／ dubose heyward
I love you, porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I want to stay with you forever
And i'll be glad
I love you, porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can keep me
I want to stay with you forever
I like my man
Someday i know he's coming
Back to call me
He's gonna handle me
And hold me so
It's going to be like dying, porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes, i know
I'll have to go
2.You Ain't Gonna Bother Me No More
Toots camarata ／ bob russell
You ain't gonna bother me no more
Nohow
Love just goes so far
No more
Woke up this morining and found
I didn't care for you no more
Nohow
Never felt so good before
You're down to my size
It's over and done
So honey, step down from your throne
That look in your eyes
Don't bother me none
Can take or leave you alone
From my window
Skys ain't grey nomore
Not now
Here's the day
That i've been waiting for
Got only one heart
One heart with no spares
Must save it for loving
Somebody who cares
So you ain't gonna bother me
No more, no more
3.Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do
Porter grainger ／ everett robbins
There ain't nothing i can do
Or nothing i can say
That folks don't criticize me
But i'm going to do
Just as i want to anyway
And don't care just what people say
If i should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
Ain't nobody's business if i do
If i go to church on sunday
Then cabaret all day monday
Ain't nobody's business if i do
If my man ain't got no money
And i say 'take all mine, honey'
Ain't nobody's business if i do
If i give him my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle
Ain't nobody's business if i do
But i'd rather my man would hit me
Than follow him to jump up and quit me
Ain't nobody's business if i do
I swear i won't call no copper
If i'm beat up by my papa
Ain't nobody's business if i do
Nobody's business
Ain't nobody's business
Nobody's business if i do
4.Baby Get Lost
Leonard feather
Well good morning baby welcome back to town
How'd, fine papa, welcome back to town
You're doing so much travelling never know
When you'll be around
You're a fine and mellow fellow
But you're stubborn as a mule
You love me like an angel
But you treat me like a fool
Two-faced daddy don't hand me no doublecross
You'll see any time i'm ready
I can tell you baby get lost
You're cheating on the outside
Doing anything you choose
You better come back on the inside
'cause you got too much to lose
Don't want no trouble i've got to be the boss
And if you can't play it my way
Well now baby get lost
I try to stop your cheating
But i just don't have the time
'cause i got so many men that
They're standing right in line
Keep cool papa, you got to corne across
'cause any time i'm ready, yes any time i'm ready
You know when i'm ready
I can tell you baby get lost
Why don't you get lost
5.Baby, I Don't Cry Over You
Morton krouse
Had my lunch all alone
Waited for you to phone
Said you call me at two
So at abpout twenty of three
I had cocktails with lee
Baby, i don't cry over you
Stood me up in the rain
Tried to hurt me again
Bet you thought i'd be blue
I went out to a show
With a swell guy named joe
Baby, i don't cry over you
These foolish games you keep playing
Might work with somebody else
But i could have told you
Right from the start
No man is man enough
To break my heart
If you don't come tonight
Think you'll give me a fright
Tell you what i will do
I'll put on my best gown
And go painting this town
Baby, i don't cry over you
Listen jack you're sweet jill
Will be out with some bill
Maybe i don't cry over you
6.Big Stuff
Leonard bernstein
So you cry
What's it about, baby？
You ask why
Blues had to go and pick you
So you go
Down to the shore, kid's stuff
Don't you know
There's honey in the store for you, big stuff
Let's take a ride on my gravy train
The door open wide
So you stare
Call it despair, baby
Don't you care
I'm on the square about you
Let's have a try
It maybe that you're my guy
Let's take a ride on my gravy train
The door open wide
Come in from out of the rain
7.Crazy He Calls Me
Carl sigman ／ bob russell
I say i'll move the mountains
And i'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, i'm crazy
Crazy in love, i say
I say i'll go through fire
And i'll go through fire
As he wants it, so it will be
Crazy he calls me
Sure, i'm crazy
Crazy in love, you see
Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult i'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say i'll care forever
And i mean forever
If i have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure, i'm crazy
Crazy in love am i
8.Deep Song
George cory ／ douglass cross
Lonely grief is hounding me
Like the lonely shadow hounding me
It's always there just out of sight
Like a fragling tree on a lightening night
Lonely wind cries out my name
Sad as haunted music in the rain
It's born of grief and born of woe
But i hear it call and i've got to go
Where can i be headed for
The blues call in my north
To lick my heart once more
Love lives in a lonely land
Where there's no helping hand to understand
Why does it bring this hate to me
Why it don't matter why
I only know misery has to be part of me
Never hope to count on love
To be a partner of that heaven above
Never hope to understand
Love is a barrel land
A lonely land, a lonely land
9.Do Your Duty
Wesley 'sox' wilson
If i call three times a day
Come and drive my blues away
When you come, be ready to play
Do your duty
If you want to have some love
Give your baby your last buck
Don't come quackin' like a duck
Do your duty
I heard you say you didn't love me
Numb as mrs. brown
I don't believe a word they say
She's the lyinest woman in town
When i need attention at home
I'll call you on the phone
Come yourself, don't send your friend jones
Do your duty
If my radiator get too hot
Cool it off in lots of spots
Give me all the service you've got
Do your duty
If you don't know what it's all about
Don't sit around my house and pout
If you do you'll catch your mama tippin' now
Do your duty
If you make your own bed hard
That's the way o' life
I'm tired of sleepin' by myself
But you too dumb to realize
I'm not tryin' to make you feel blue
I'm not satisfied with the way you do
I've got to help you find somebody too
Do your duty
10.Don't Explain
Billie holiday ／ arthur herzog jr.
Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that i love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For i'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And i know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain
11.Easy Living
Leo robin ／ ralph rainger
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And i'm so in love
There is nothing in life but you
I never regret the years that i'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do whatever i do for you
For you maybe i'm a fool
But it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand
They just don't understand
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And i'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you
12.Gimmie A Pigfoot(And A Bottle Of Beer)
Wesley 'sox' wilson
Up in harlem every saturday night
Where the highbrows get together
It's just too right
They all congregate and all night hop
And what they do is ooh boppa dap
Ole hanna brown from way across town
Gets full of corn and starts
Bringing them down
And at the break of day
You can hear ole hanna say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me a gate i don't care
Feel just like i wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm yeah, when he stamps his feet
He sends me right off to sleep
Cheek all your razors and all your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me cause i don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy move right in
I feel just like i wanna shout
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm when he stamps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
Do the hueklebuck until the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me, 'cause i'm in my sin
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
13.Girls Were Made To Take Care Of Boys
Ralph blane
Girls were made to take care of boys
To be kind and dutiful
Hmmm...
Girls were made to take care of boys
Made to share their sorrows
Made to share their joys
Made to help and guide them
With ever a patient hand
Made to give affection
In the right direction
(always understand)
Now boys may think they take care of girls
Just because they pass on their fashions and their curls
But i've always found
It's just the other way around
(other way around)
If you need the girl
And declare you do
(tell her that you need her)
She'll be there
To take care of you
(she'll be there)
(now boys may think they take care of girls
Just because they're clever with their fashions and their curls)
But i've always found
It's just the other way around
14.God Bless The Child
Billie holiday ／ arthur herzog jr.
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own
15.Good Morning Heartache
Irene higginbotham ／ ervin drake ／ dan fisher
Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seems you heve gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish i forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems i met you
When my love went away
Now everyday i stop i'm saying to you
Good morning heartache what's new
Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you nohow
Just leave me alone
I've got those monday blues
Straight to sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
You're the one
Who knows me well
Might as well get use to you hanging around
Good morning heartache
Sit down
16.Guilty
Gus kahn ／ harry akst ／ richard whiting
Is it a sin, is it a crime
Loving you dear like i do
If it's a crime, then, i'm guilty
Guilty of loving you
Maybe i'm wrong dreaming of you
Dreaming the lonely night thru
If it's a crime, then, i'm guilty
Guilty of dreaming of you
What can i do？
What can i say？
After i've taken the blame
You say, 'you're through
You'll go your way'
But i'll always feel just the same
Maybe, i'm right, maybe i'm wrong
Loving you dear like i do
If it's a crime, then, i'm guilty
Guilty of loving you
17.I'll Look Around
George cory ／ douglass cross
I'll look around until i've found
Someone who laughs like you
I know somewhere spring must fill the air
With sweetness just as rare
As the flower that you gave me to wear
I look around and when i've found
Someone who sighs like you
I'll know this love i'm dreaming of
Won't be the old love i always knew
18.Keeps On Rainin'
Spencer williams ／ max kortlander
One dark and stormy night
Big john was feeling blue
Ain't he didn't seem right
So he didn't know just what to do
I said do please tell me
Ain't you satisfied？
He looked around so pitiful
And to me he replied
Keeps on raining
Look how it's raining
Daddy he can't make no time
Wind keeps blowing
Howl wind's blowing
Soon i'll find
In the winter time
When it starts to snow
I know, billy
You've got to have some dough
Keeps on raining
Look how it's raining
Daddy he can't make no time
Ain't the rain just beautiful
Some people say
But i'd rather see it
In a fine movie place
Keeps on raining
Look how it's raining
Your daddy he can't make no time
No daddy he can't make no time
19.Lover Man(Oh Where Can You Be)
Jimmy davis ／ ram ramirez ／ james sherman
I don't know why but i'm feeling so sad
I long to try something i never had
Never had no kissin'
Oh, what i've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be？
The night is cold and i'm so alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be？
I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing
Oh, what i've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be？
20.My Man
Channing pollock／maurice yvain ／ albert willemetz／jaques charles
It cost me a lot
But there's one thing that i've got
It's my man
It's my man
Cold or wet
Tired, you bet
All of this i'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much on looks
He's no hero out of books
But i love him
Yes, i love him
Two or three girls
Has he
That he likes as well as me
But i love him
I don't know why i should
He isn't true
He beats me, too
What can i do？
Oh, my man, i love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just a spare
But i don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right
What's the difference if i say
I'll go away
When i know i'll come back
On my knees someday
For whatever my man is
I'm his forevermore
21.My Sweet Hunk O'trash
James p. johnson ／ flournoy e. miller
You don't act up too much
Ain't got that glamour touch
You're trifling lazy
Ain't worth a cigarette ash
Look out here mamma
Look out here
You carry me too fast
You're just my good for nothin'
My sweet hunk o' trash
My, my how you sound
You're very short on looks
Dumb, when it comes to books
Look out, baby
Watch it, honey
And you stay full of corn
Just like a succotash
What you want me to do in my idle moments
You're just a good-for-nothin'
But my sweet hunk o' trash
Let me get a word in there honey, you running your mouth
You said i've worried you for years
I'm just a barfly moochin' beers
While you sweat over a hot stove slinging hash
Work my fingers right down to the elbows
Yes i may be good-for-nothin'
But i'm still your sweet hunk o' trash
First to admit it baby
You said i spread my love all around
And with the chicks all over town
But, how can i when you keep me broke
So i can't spend no cash
Yes i may be good-for-nothin'
But i'm still your sweet hunk o' trash
Listen hear pops,
You know you lie about your youth
I don't lie baby
I'm just careless with the truth, that's all
How careless can you be
Oh, no
With all your chicks
You try to make a flash
Now baby
It ain't like that, no
But you're still my good-for-nothin'
My sweet hunk o' trash
Now when you stay out very late
It sure makes me mad to wait how come, baby？
Cus, you come home too tired
To raise just one eyelash
Watch it baby
Watch it
You're just good-for-nothin'
But you're my sweet hunk o' trash
Yes indeed!
22.No Good Man
Irene higginbotham ／ dan fisher ／ sammy gallop
No good man
Lovin' all the no good things
Never treats me as he should
That ain't no good
He's always bringing me down
He's no saint
Heaven knows thats what he ain't
Spends his money foolishly
Not on me
I'm the one who gets the run-around
I ought to hate him and yet i love him so
For i require
Love that's made of fire
And in his arms
I find
I always get that kind
No good man
Ever since the world began
There have been other fools like me
Born to be
In love with a no good man
23.Now Or Never
Billie holiday ／ curtis r. lewis
Hey fat daddy make up your mind
'cause i've been waiting such a long, long time
Now baby or never 'cause i been so good to you
Now baby or never 'cause i've been so lonesome, too
Now baby or never if i mean anything to you
Now baby or never 'cause you wasted so much time
Now baby or never 'cause you can't make up your mind
Now baby or never and it ain't no fault of mine
It's got to be yes or no
It's either you stay or go
You can't leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It's either you will baby or won't fall
In love with me
Gonna call you once more on the telephone
I'll give you till twelve then i'll be gone
I waited last night for you to call
You give me no consideration at all
It's now baby or never 'cause you wasted so much time
Now baby or never and you must make up your mind
Now babv or never and it ain't no fault of mine
It's got to be yes or no
It's either you stay or go
You can't leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It's either you will baby or won't
You do baby or don't
Either you will baby or won't fall in love with me
24.Please Tell Me Now
Arnold clawson ／ toussaint pope
Please tell me now
How much you care
Before we say good night, my dear
You'll never say
That you'll be mine
Why keep me waiting？
Please tell me now
Day and night i'm wondering
Do you really care？
Must i go on wondering
About this love affair？
My heart will cry
And that's no lie
Don't keep me waiting
Please tell me now
25.Solitude
Duke ellington ／ eddie delange ／ irving mills
In my solitude
You haunt me
With dreadful ease
Of days gone by
In my solitude
You taunt me
With memories
That never die
I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and i stare
I know that i'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm afraid
Dear lord above
Send back my love
26.Somebody's On My Mind
Billie holiday ／ arthur herzog jr.
Somebody's on my mind
Like an old sweet song, 'the lasting time'
Somebody's on my mind
So i'm walking on clouds on a silver line
To dream my dream could be my mistake
But i'd rather be wrong
And sleep right along than wake
Love may be blind i'll take my chances
That it cares this affair, my real romance
That's why you'll find somebody's on my mind
27.That Ole Devil Called Love
Allan roberts ／ doris fisher
It's that ole devil called love game
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shock again
Put a ring in my eyes
Tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly ole-sun-of-a-gun again
He keeps telling me that i'm the lucky one again
But i still have that ring
Still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart
Suppose i didn't stay and ran away
Wouldn't play
That devil-what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me around
Build me up, tear me down
Till i'd be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me
That he's right again
When he sings that siren song
I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love
He'd follow around
Build me up, tear me down
Till i'd be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do
28.The Blues Are Brewin'
Eddie delange ／ louis alter
When the moon's kinda dreamy
Starry eyed and dreamy
And nights are luscious and long
If you're kinda lonely
Then nothin' but the blues are brewin'
The blues are brewin'
When the wind through the window
Blows across your pillow
And tells you sleepin' is wrong
If love goes a thirsting
Till you feel like bursting
Then nothing but the blues are brewin'
The blues are brewin'
Suppose you want somebody
But you ain't got nobody
You only get a gleam in your eyes
Till somebody's found you
And put their lovin' arms around you
You got the feelin' you want to die
But when the lord up above you
Send's someone to love you
The blues are something you loose
You're so busy doing
The things that you're doing
That love ain't got no time
For brewin' the blues
29.Them There Eyes
Maceo pinkard ／ william tracey ／ doris tauber
I fell in love with you first time i looked into
Them there eyes
You've got a certain lil' cute way of flirtin' with
Them there eyes
They make me feel happy
They make me feel blue
No stallin'
I'm fallin'
Going in a big way for sweet little you
My heart is jumpin'
Sure started somethin with
Them there eyes
You'de better watch them if you're wise
They sparkle
They bubble
They're gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble
You're overworkin' them
There's danger lurkin' in
Them there eyes
Maybe you think i'm just flirtin'
Maybe you think i'm all lies
Just because i get romantic when i gaze in
Them there eyes
30.There Is No Greater Love
Isham jones ／ marty symes
There is no greater love
Than what i feel for you
No greater love, no heart so true
There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing to me
You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known
And to think that you are mine alone
There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Than what i feel for you
31.This Is Heaven To Me
Ernest schweikert ／ frank reardon
When i hear them say
There's better living
Let them go their way
To that new living
I won't ever stray
'cause this is heaven to me
Long as freedom grows
(long as freedom grows)
I want to seek it if it's yes or no
(if it's yes or no)
It's me who'll speak it
'cause the lord, he knows
That this is heaven to me
If you've got your hands
And got your feet
To plow your land
And cut your wheat
You raise your head
When night is done
Shout your thanks up to the sun
32.Weep No More
Gordon jenkins ／ tom adair
I'm just about fed up
I've finally had my fill
Of sitting around and crying in my beer
I've drunk the bitter cup
I've downed the bitter pill
While waiting for the silver lining to appear
I'm going to stack my blues up
On the very highest shelf
I'm going to pack my blues up
And get wise to myself
(weep no more, my baby)
(weep no more, my baby)
Weep no more
I'm going to weep no more
I'm putting an end to this lonesome game
(it's such a lonesome game this crying)
Cry no tears, i'm going to cry no tears
Each time that i happen to hear his name
(i hear his name)
I'm going out on the town
This hopeless torch i will drown
'cause i'm tired of running around
(running around)
With just a memory
Weep no more, i'm going to weep no more
Till somebody weeps
(until somebody weeps) for me
33.What Is This Thing Called Love？
Cole porter
What is this thing called love？
This funny thing called love？
Just who can solve its mystery？
Why should it make a fool of me？
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and trew it away
That's why i ask the lord in heaven above
What is this thing called love？
34.You Better Go Now
Irvin graham ／ s. bickley reichner
You better go now
Because i like you much, too much
You have a way with you
You ought to know now
Just why i like you very much
The night was gay with you
There's the moon above
And it gives my heart a lot of swing
In your eyes there's love
And the way i feel it must be spring
I want you so now
You have lips i love to touch
You better go now
You better go, 'cause i like you much, too much
35.You Can't Lose A Broken Heart
James p. johnson ／ flournoy e. miller
Don't lose your head
Then lose your guy
You can't lose a broken heart
If you ever break up
Then try to make up
It's tough to make a brand new start
Take a walk
Think it over
While strolling neath the moon
Don't say things in december
You'll regret in june
Ware your remark
Before you speak
Or you may be sorry soon,
Don't be eratic
Be diplomatic
To keep your heart's in tune
Cruel harsh words
Often spoken
Will upset your applecart
So don't lose your head
Then lose your guy
Cus, you can't lose a broken heart
No, you can't lose a broken heart!
36.You're My Thrill
Jay gorney ／ sidney clare
You're my thrill
You do something to me
You send chills right through me
When i look at you
'cause you're my thrill
You're my thrill
How my pulse increases
I just go to pieces
When i look at you
'cause you're my thrill
Hmmm-nothing seems to matter
Hmmm-here's my heart on a silver platter
Where's my will
Why this strange desire
That keeps morning higher
When i look at you
I cann't keep still
You're my thrill
