The Swinging Side Of Bobby Darin

Bobby Darin The Swinging Side Of Bobby Darin Lyrics
1.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


2.I'm Beginning To See The Light

Written:Ellington/Hodges/George/James

I never cared much for moonlit skies,
Never winked back at fireflies,
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light.

I never went in for afterglow,
Or candlelight on the mistletoe,
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light.

I used to ramble through the park
Shadow boxing in the dark
Then you came and caused the spark
That's a four-alarm fire, now.

I never made love by lantern shine,
I never saw rainbows in my wine,
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light.

I never cared much for moonlit skies,
I never winked back at fireflies,
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light.

I never went in for afterglow,
Or candlelight on the mistletoe,
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light.

You know I used to ramble through the park
Shadow boxing in the dark
Then you came and lit that spark
That's a four-alarm fire, now

I never made love by lantern shine,
I never saw rainbows in my wine,
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light.


3.I'm Sitting On Top Of The World

Written:Ray Henderson/Sam Lewis/Joseph Young

I'm sitting on top of the world,
Just rolling along
Just rolling along.

I'm quitting the blues of the world,
Just singing a song
Just singing a song.

Glory, hallelujah, I just phoned the parson,
'Hey, Par, get ready to call!'
Just like humpty dumpty
I'm ready to fall.

I'm sitting on top of the world,
Just rolling along
Just rolling along.

I'm quitting the blues of the world,
Just singing a song
Just singing a song.


4.There's A Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder

Lyrics:Dreyer/Jolson/Rose
Music:Dreyer/Jolson/Rose

There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
How the sun shines bright
The world's all right
'cause I'm in love.

There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And it fits me like a glove
Let it blow, let it storm
I'll be warm
'cause I'm in love.

Hallelujah... how the folks will stare
When they see the solitaire
That my little sugar baby is gonna wear.

There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
And, I'm shoutin' so
The world will know
That I'm in love.

Hallelujah... how the folks are gonna stare
When they see that diamond solitaire
That my own true baby's gonna wear.

There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And a sky of blue above
And, I'm shoutin' so...
So the world will know...
I'm in love...
I'm in love...

There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder
And I'm in love.


5.Fly Me To The Moon

Lyrics:B.Howard
Music:B.Howard

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love you


6.All Of You

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter

I love the look(s) of you, (and) the lure of you, the sweet of
you, and the pure of you
The eyes, the arms, and the (that) mouth of you,
The east, west, north, and the (that) south of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you, handle even the heart
and soul of you
Love at least a small percent of me do 'cause (Because) I love
all of you.


7.Hello Young Lovers

Lyrics:O.Hammerstain Ii
Music:R.Rodgers

Hello young lovers whoever you are
I hope your troubles are few
All my good wishes go with you tonight
I've been in love like you

Be brave young lovers and follow your star
Be brave and faithful and true
Cling very close to each other tonight
I've been in love like you

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels
And to fly down the street in a trance
You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet
And you meet, not really by chance

Don't cry young lovers whatever you do
Don't cry because I'm alone
All of my mem'ries are happy tonight
I've had a love of my own

I've had a love of my own like yours
I've had a love of my own


8.Just In Time

Lyrics:Styne/Comden/Freen
Music:Styne/Comden/Freen

Now you're here
And now I know just where I'm goin'
No more doubts or fears
I've found my way.

For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life
That lovely day.

Just in time
I found you just in time
Before you came my time
Was runnin' low.

I was lost
The losin' dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed
Nowhere to go.

Now you're here
And now I know where I'm goin'
No more doubts or fears
I've found my way.

For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life
That lovely day.

Now you're here
And now I know exactly where I'm goin'
No more doubts or fears
I have found my way.

For love came just in time
You found me just in time
You changed my lonely life
That lovely...
It will always be lovely
Lonely life that lovely day.


9.This Nearly Was Mine

Lyrics:O.Hammerstain Ii
Music:R.Rodgers

One dream in my heart, one love to be living for,
One love to be living for, this nearly was mine.
One girl for my dream, one partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise, this nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she came, only to fly away,
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight.
Now, now I'm alone, still dreaming of paradise,
Still saying that paradise once nearly was mine.


10.Make Someone Happy

Lyrics:Styne/Comden/Green
Music:Styne/Comden/Green

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy.
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you.
One gal you're everything to.

Fame, if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her,
Build your world around her.
Make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy
And you will be happy too.


11.I Wanna Be Around

Lyrics:Mercer/Vimmerstedt
Music:Mercer/Vimmerstedt

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks
your heart,
Somebody twice as smart as I.
Somebody who will swear to be true like you used to do with me,
Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves company, wait and
see.
I wanna be around to see how he does it when he breaks your
heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits, so fine,
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine.
That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine,
Like you, like you broke mine.


12.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.


13.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'.
