1.Once In A Lifetime

Lyrics：Bricusse／Newley
Music：Bricusse／Newley

Just once in a lifetime
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes his hand

And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When i can explore
A new and exciting land

For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As tho' i had wings

For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And tho' it may be
Just once in my lifetime
I'm going to do great things


2.More

More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love that I give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day.

More than you'll ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever, you'll be mine
I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love that I give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day.

More than you'll ever know
My arms got to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long, long time
But far beyond forever, you'll be mine
I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.


3.Charade

Lyrics：Mancini／Mercer
Music：Mancini／Mercer

When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played

Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade

Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on

Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I always will
Best on the bill
Charade


4.Beyond The Sea

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye, bye sailing...


5.As Long As I'm Singing

As long as I'm singin'
There's a bell
Up in my brain that's ringin'
Makin' a crazy ding dong.

And if this band don't desert me
Then there's nothin'
In the world can hurt me
Long as I'm singin' my song.

Give me trumpets ... legato
Put some saxes with 'em
Strings ... pizzicato
Add some rhythm.

As long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as I'm singin' my song.

Ummmm... makin' music
Is more to me than a pleasure
'cause me and music
We go together like notes in a measure.

Long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as I'm singin' my ...

Long as I'm singin' my ...
Long as I'm singin' my song.


6.Mack The Knife

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife？

There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river don'tcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Now d'ja hear bout Louie Miller？ He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash？

Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town.....
Look out, old Macky's back!!


7.On The Street Where You Live

Lyrics：Lerner／Loewe
Music：Lerner／Loewe

I have often walked
Down the street before,
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am i
Several stories high,
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town？
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town？
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door？
No, it's just on the street where you live.

And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear.

People stop and stare
They don't bother me,
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be.

Let the time go by,
I won't care if i
Can be here on the street where you live.


People stop and stare
They don't bother me,
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be.

Let the time go by
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live,
Let me be on the street where you live.


8.Hello, Dolly!

Hello, Dolly, this is Louis, Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You lookin' swell Dolly, I can tell Dolly
You still glowin', you still growin', you still goin' strong
I feel the room swayin', while the band's playin'
One of their old favourite songs from way back when
So, take a wrap fellas, find her an empty lap fellas
Dolly... never go away again

I feel the room swayin', but the band's playin'
One of our old favourite songs from back when
So, golly gee fellas, have a little faith in me fellas
Dolly, never go away
Promise, you'll never go away
Dolly, never go away again


9.A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

Lyrics：M.Sherwin／E.Mashuritz
Music：M.Sherwin／E.Mashuritz

That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole darned world seemed upside down

The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said good-night
A nightingale sang
A nightingale sang
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square


10.The Good Life

Lyrics：Distel／Reardon／Broussole
Music：Distel／Reardon／Broussole

Oh, the good life, full of fun,
Seems to be the ideal
Yes, the good life let's you hide
All the sadness you feel.

You won't really fall in love,
For you can't take the chance
So be honest with yourself,
Don't try to fake romance.

It's the good life
To be free and explore the unknown,
Like the heartaches
When you learn you must face them alone.

Please remember, I still love you,
And in case you don't know,
Well, just wake up,
Kiss the good life 'hel-lo'.


11.I Got Rhythm

Lyrics：Gershwin／Gershwin
Music：Gershwin／Gershwin

I got rhythm, I got music
I got my man, who could ask for anything more
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my man, who could ask for anything more

Old Man Trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams
I got my man, who could ask for anything more
Who could ask for anything more

Days can be sunny, with never a sigh
Don't need what money can buy
Birds in the tree sing their day full of song
Why shouldn't we sing along
I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot
How do I get that way, look at what I've got


12.Oh! Look At Me Now

Lyrics：Bushkin／Devries
Music：Bushkin／Devries

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest

So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

And I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get form your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest

So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
Look at me now!


13.Moon River

Lyrics：Mancini／Mercer
Music：Mancini／Mercer

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style one day.
Old dream maker, you heart breaker,
Where ever you're going,
I'm going your way.

Two drifters, off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end,
Waiting 'round the bend,
My huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.


14.You're The Reason I'm Living

You're the reason I'm livin'...

You're the breath that I take
You're the stars in my heaven
You're the sun when I wake.

You're the reason I'm livin'...

Whoa... you carry me through
All of life's little burdens
I'd be lost without you.

A long, long time ago
When I was down
Whoa... you picked me up
And showed me
True love still could be found.

You're the reason I do things
You're the things that I do
You're the reason I'm livin'
I'd be lost without you.

Come and tell me again...

You're the reason I'm livin'...

Whoa... you carry me through
All of life's little burdens
I'd be lost without you.


15.Call Me Irresponsible

Call me irresponsible
Call me unreliable
Throw in undependable, too.

Do my foolish alibis bore you？
Well, I'm not too clever
I just adore you.

Call me unpredictable
Tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue.

Call me irresponsible
Yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
That I'm irresponsibly mad for you.

Go on and call me unpredictable
Tell me that I'm impractical
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue.

You go ahead call me irresponsible
I admit I'm unreliable
But it is undeniably true
That I'm irresponsibly mad for you.


16.Goodbye, Charlie

Goodbye... Charlie
Hate to see you go
Goodbye, Charlie
Gee ... I'm feelin' low
But, I'm cluein' you in
Someone's doin' you in, pal.

Goodbye... Charlie
Hate to see you fade
My, my Charlie
Thought you had it made
But, they're dumpin' you off
After bumpin' you off, pal.

Don't you know lechery
Leads you to treachery
Things boomerang
Someone you trifle with
Pulls out a rifle without a pang
Bang... bang... bang!

Goodbye... Charlie
Cashin' in your chips
Wild-eyed Charlie
Time you came to grips
There ain't... no doubt...
Strike three... you're out...
Goodbye... Charlie
Goodbye!

Now don't you know lechery
Leads you to treachery
Things boomerang
Someone you trifle with
Pulls out a rifle without a pang
Bang... bang... bang!

Goodbye... Charlie
Cashin' in your chips
Wild-eyed Charlie
Time you came to grips
And, there ain't... no doubt...
Strike three... you're out...
Goodbye... Charlie
Goodbye!


17.Softly, As I Leave You

Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break
If you should wake
And see me go
So I leave you softly...

Long before you miss me
Long before your arms
Can beg me stay
For one more hour
Or one more day...

After all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
So softly as I leave you there
As I leave you there
As I leave you there...

Softly... after all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
So softly as I leave you there...

As I leave you there...
As I leave you there...

As I leave you there...
As I leave you there.


18.Venice Blue


19.If A Man Answers

If a man answers your phone when I call
Ooh... there's gonna be some screamin'
And that ain't all
'cause if I'm here callin' you
Then who's the who I'm talkin' to？

Why any fool could see
That for sure it ain't me
So, if a man answers your phone
Then, honey we're through!

Now... everything between us used to be fine
Till I became a third party
Where there ain't no party line
Ya hear me talkin'...

Gonna hang this phone up now and dial again
Ooh... and there better be a soprano
On the other end
'cause if the voice is baritone
When you told me you'd be home alone.

Well... then I'm wastin' my time
A-not to mention my dime
So, if a man answers your phone
Then, honey I'm gone!

Now... everything between us used to be fine
Till I became a third party
Where there ain't no party line
Ya hear me talkin'...

Gonna hang this phone up now and dial again
Ooooh... and there better be a soprano
On the other end
'cause if the voice is baritone
When you told me you'd be home alone.

Well... I'm wastin' my time
Not to mention my dime
So, if a man answers your phone
Then, honey I'm gone!


20.18 Yellow Roses

Eighteen yellow roses came today
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
When the boy came to the door
I didn't know what to say
But, eighteen yellow roses came today.

I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I had read
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today.

I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do.

But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
'cause eighteen yellow roses
Will wilt and die one day ...

But... a father's love will never fade away
Will never fade away...


21.If I Were A Carpenter

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
And have my baby？

If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me
Carryin' the pots I made
Followin' behind me？

Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrows
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrows.

If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me？
Answer me, babe, 'Yes, I would.
I would put you above me.'

If I were a miller... yeah...
At a mill wheel grindin'
Would you miss your colored blouse
Little girl, your soft shoe shinin'？

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
And you have my baby？

Would you marry me anyway
And have my baby？


22.Hits Medley

Splish Splash／Beyond The Sea／Artificial Flowers／Clementine

Splish Splash

Splish, splash
I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night... yeah!
Rub-a-dub
Just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was all right.

Well... I stepped out the tub
Put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me
And I opened the door.

And... then-a... splish, splash
I jumped back in the bath
Well... how was I to know
There was a party going on.

They was a splishin' and a splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Moving and a groovin'
Rockin' and a rollin'... yeah!

Bing, bang
I saw the whole gang
Dancin' on my living room rug... yeah...
Flip flop
They was doin' the bop
All the teens had the dancin' bug.

There was Lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good Golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too!
A-well-a.... splish, splash
I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin' shoes on... yea!

I was a rollin' and a strollin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a groovin'
Splishin' and a splashin'... yeah!

Yes... I was a splishin' and a splashin'
I was a rollin' and a strollin'
Yeah... I was a movin' and a groovin' ... woo!
We was a reelin' with the feelin'... ha!
We was a rollin' and a strollin'
Movin' with the groovin'
Splish, splash... yeah!

I was a splishin' and a splashin'... one time...
I was a splishin' and a splashin'... woo-woo!
I was a movin' and a-groovin'...


Beyond The Sea

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye, bye sailing...


Artificial Flowers

Alone in the world
Was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find.

Her parents had gone
To their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind.

Did ya hear？

This ... poor little child
Was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away.

Still she brav-el-y worked
At the one thing she knew
To earn her few pennies a day.

She made artificial flowers
Artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear.

She made artificial flowers
Ya know ... those artificial flowers
Fashioned from Annie's despair.

With paper and shears
With some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum.

As snowflakes drifted
Into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb.

From makin' artificial flowers
Those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.

She made artificial flowers
Artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair.

They found little Annie
All covered with ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears.

Amidst all the blossoms
She had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears.

There must be a heaven
Where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers.

And instea-a-ad of a halo
She'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers.

No more artificial flowers
Throw away those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.

Throw away those artificial flowers
Those dumb-dumb flowers ...
Fashioned from Annie's ...

Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's des-pa-a-a-air.

Give her the real thing!


Clementine

In a cavern
Down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner
From North Carolina
And... his daughter
Chubby Clementine.

Now, every mornin'
Yeah... just about dawnin'
When the sun
Began to shine
You know she would rouse up
Wake all-a-dem cows up
And... walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.

I took the footbridge
Way 'cross the water
Though she weighed
Two ninety-nine
The old bridge trembled
And disassembled... oops!
Dumped her into the foamy brine.

Hey... crack like thunder... hut, hut...
You know she went under... hut, hut...
Blowin' bubbles down the line
Hey! I'm no swimm'a
But were she slimm'a
I might'a saved
That Clementine.

Ho... she broke the record
Way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous
Not until the service
That they held
For Clementine.

Hey... you sailor... hut, hut...
Way out in your whaler
A-with your harpoon an' your trusty line
If she shows now,yell......
A-there she blows now!
It just may be
Chunky, Clementine.

One more time!

Oh, my darlin'... oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin' ... oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin'... sweet Clementine
You may be gone... but...
You're not forgotten
Fare thee well...
So long...
Clementine...
Bye!

24.The Curtain Falls

Off comes the make up
Off comes the clown's disguise
The curtain's fallin'
The music softly dies.

But I hope your smilin'
As you're filin' out the door
As they say in this biz
That's all there is... there isn't anymore.

We've shared a moment
And as the moment ends
I got a funny feelin'
We're parting now as friends.

Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They've torn down these dusty walls
If I had this to do again
And the evening were new again
I would spend it with you again
But now the curtain falls.

Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They've torn down these dusty walls
People say I was made for this
Nothin' else would I trade for this
And just think I get paid for this...

'Goodnight ladies and gentlemen and God love you, thank you.'
