Frank Sinatra Sinatra 80Th:All The Best Lyrics
1.Lean Baby

Lyrics:Roy Alfred/Billy May
Music:Billy May
Arranger:Heinie Beau

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,...)


2.I'm Walking Behind You

Lyrics:Billy Reid
Music:Billy Reid
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

I'm walking behind you - on your wedding day
And I'll here you promise - to love and obey
Though you may forget me - you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder - I'm walking behind

Maybe I'll kiss again - with a love that's new again
But I shall wish again - I was kissing you

'Cause I'll always love you - where ever you go
And though we are parted - I want you to know
That if things go wrong dear - and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder - I'm walking behind


3.I've Got The World On A String

Written:Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world, what a life - I'm in love.

I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger.
Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love.
Life is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string.
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go.

I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger.
What a world, what a life - I'm in love.
Life is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go.

I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! Man, this is the life.
Hey, now! I'm so in love.


4.From Here To Eternity

Written:Robert Wells/Freddie Karger
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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.


5.South Of The Border(Down Mexico Way)

Written:Jimmy Kennedy/Michael Carr
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Band Chorus

South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to
play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way

She was a picture - in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - Mexico way

Then she smiled as she whispered 'manjanna'
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered 'manjanna'
'Cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to
pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way


6.Young At Heart

Written:Johnny Richards/Carolyn Leigh
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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 its 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
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart


7.Three Coins In The Fountain

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless

Three hearts it a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome

Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless

Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a Valentine

Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine


8.Come Fly With Me

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Billy May

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away


Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!


9.Someone To Watch Over Me

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told, 'Seek and ye shall find'
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
Someone who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me


10.Melody Of Love

Lyrics:Tom Glazer
Music:H.Engelmann
Arranger:Dick Reynolds
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Ray Anthony/His Orchestra

Hold me in your arms dear dream with me
Cradled by your kisses tenderly
While a choir of angels from above
Sing our melody of love


Heart to heart forever, lips entwined
I am yours and you are mine, all mine
Heaven wrote the music up above
For our melody of love


11.Night And Day

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you

Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you

Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day


12.Learnin' The Blues

Written:Delores Vicki Silvers
Arranger:Neal Hefti

The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard
it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light - one after another
Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
You just can't forget her - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the (those)
blues


13.Same Old Saturday Night

Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Frank Reardon
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Went to see a movie show
Found myself an empty row
Thought the show was just alright
Same old Saturday night

Then I made the usual stop
Coffee at the coffee shop
Friendly face nowhere in sight
Same old Saturday night

I really thought - the papers I bought
Would help me forget you for a while
Believe me honey - the funnies weren't funny
They didn't even make me smile

How I wish you'd lift the phone
Fun is fun - but not alone
'Til you let me hold you tight
Same old Saturday night

Only your face - can help me erase
That same old Saturday night


14.Love And Marriage

Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary

Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one without the other


15.The Impatient Years

Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

We're going through the impatient years
The years when the day seems twice as long
Restless and sighing and laughing and crying
And dreaming a dream people say is wrong

But we'll journey through
The impatient years
To each other's arms where we belong
Clinging together
I'm certain we'll weather the warm and stormy day
and impatient year

But we'll journey through
The impatient years
To each other's arms where we belong
Clinging together
I'm certain we'll weather the warm and stormy day
And impatient year


16.Love Is The Tender Trap

Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!

Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap

You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!

Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map

You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map

And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap


17.How Little We Know(How Little It Matters)

Written:Carolyn Leigh/Phillip Springer
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

How little we know
How much to discover
What chemical forces flow
From lover to lover

How little we understand - what touches of that tingle
That sudden explosion - when two tingles intermingle

Who cares to define
What chemistry this is
Who cares with your lips on mine
How ignorant bliss is

So long as you kiss me - (and) the world around us shatters
How little it matters - how little we know
(How little we know, how little we know,...)


18.Wait For Me

Midnight hour almost over
Time is running out for the magic pair
I know you gave the best that you have
But one more chance
couldn't be all that hard to bear.

Wait for me please
Wait for me
Alright, I guess
that's more than I should ask
Wait for me please
Wait for me
Although I know the light is fading fast.

You could go either way
Is it easier to stay
I wonder what you'll do
when your chance rolls around
But you gotta know how much I want to keep you
When I'm away I'm afraid it will all fall down.

Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing
But all the time we spent
It must be good for something
Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not
waiting for you.


19.The Lady Is A Tramp

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Billy Byers

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She loves the theater, but doesn't come late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's o'k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to Harlem, in Lincolns or Fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp


20.Well, Did You Evah?

Written:Cole Porter
Arranger:Skip Martin
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Bing Cosby

Have you heard? The coast of Maine just got caught in a
hurricane?
Well did you evah? What a swell party this is!
Have you heard that poor dear Blanche got run down by an
avalanche?
Well, did you evah? What a swell party this is!
What daiquiris! What sherry, please! What burgundy! What
pommery!

Have you heard? Professor Munch ate his wife and divorced his
lunch?
Well, did you evah? What a swell party this is!
Missus Smith in her new Hup crossed the bridge when the bridge
was up,
Well, did you evah? What a swell part this is!
What brandy, wow! What whiskey, here's how!
What gin and what beer, will you sober up, dear?


21.Hey! Jealous Lover

Written:Sammy Cahn/Bee Walker/Kay Twomey
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

(Lover, lover)

Hey, jealous lover
You're actin' so strange
Hey, jealous lover
What is makin' you change?

Hey, jealous lover
How wrong can you be?
I'm yours ever-faithful
Just be faithful to me

I am just as steady as that clock on the shelf
Maybe you're accusin' me of what you're doin' yourself

Hey, jealous lover
I'm tellin' you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you

(Hey, jealous lover)
(You're actin' so strange)
(Hey, jealous lover )
(What is makin' you change?)

(Hey, jealous lover)
(How wrong can you be?)
(I'm yours ever-faithful)
(Just be faithful to me)

Could have cheated lots of times but just couldn't do
I was much too busy, baby, bein' faithful to you

Hey, jealous lover
I'm tellin' you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you


There's no one for me, jealous lover, but you


22.I've Got You Under My Skin

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
That I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin


23.All The Way

Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may

Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way


24.Chicago

Lyrics:Fred Fisher
Music:Fred Fisher
Arranger:Neal Hefti/Billy May

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, I will show you around - I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around - I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things that they never do on Broadway - hey
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, and he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, that's my home town


25.Witchcraft

Written:Carolyn Leigh/Cy Coleman
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft

And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do

'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo

When you arouse the need in my
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you


26.How Are Ya' Fixed For Love

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Billy May
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Keely Smith

How are ya fixed for moonlight ?
How are ya fixed for stars?
How are you fixed for kissin' ?
While we listen to soft guitars?

How are ya fixed for someone to watch the rain with?
To stroll down the lane with
For someone to just go a little insane with?

How are you fixed for mem'ries ?
Mem'ries that shine so bright?
If we let fancy take us
We could make us a few tonight
How are ya fixed for someone who'll fit your arms like a glove?
Hey, tell me, baby, how are you fixed for love?

(brief instrumental)

How are ya fixed for kissin' while we dig those wild guitars?
How are ya fixed for someone to sit and tan with ?
To worry and plan with ?
For someone to dine right from out of a can with?

How are ya fixed for mem'ries, mem'ries that glow so bright?
Ooh, if we let Cupid rack up, we could knock us a few tonight
How are ya fixed for someone who'll fit your arms like a glove?
Hey, tell me, baby how are you fixed for

Tell me baby, how are you fixed for
Tell me, baby, how are you fixed for love?


27.No One Ever Tells You

Written:Carroll Coates/Hub Atwood
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

No one ever tells you what's like to love and lose,
How it feels to waken and have breakfast with the blues,
How to go on living, how to face another day,
No one ever tells you the way.

No one ever tells you how it feels to walk alone,
Listening for those footsteps through the echo of your own.
Suddenly it hits you all those dreams not worth a dime,
Cause no one ever tells you in time.
Long before the icy winds of winter,
Autumn tells the swallows, time to fly,
Why did she pretend till the bitter end
Till it broke my heart to say goodbye.

And no one ever tells you that it's just another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.

(instrumental)

No one ever tells you that it's just another fling,
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.
It never comes easy, no one ever tells you before.


28.Time After Time

Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Jule Styne
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Time after time, I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be the one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know, the passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you


I only know what I know, the passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you


29.In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning

Written:Bob Hilliard/Dave Mann
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

In the wee small hours of the morning,
While the whole wide world is fast asleep,
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never, ever think of counting sheep.

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That's the time you miss her most of all.

(Musical interlude)

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That's the time you miss her most of all.


30.You Make Me Feel So Young

Written:Mack Gordon/Josef Myrow
Arranger:Quincy Jones

You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung
Every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual

The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon

You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young


31.I Get A Kick Out Of You

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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.


32.All My Tomorrows

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Today I may not have a thing at all
Except for just a dream or two
But I've got lots of plans for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you

Right now it may not seem like spring at all
We're drifting and the laughs are few
But I've got rainbows planned for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you

No one knows better than I
That luck keeps passing me by ... that's fate
But with you there at my side
I'll soon be turrning the tide ... just wait

As long as I've got arms that cling at all
It's you that I'll be clinging to
And all the dreams I dream, beg, or borrow
On some bright tomorrow they'll all come true

And all my bright tomorrows belong to you


33.High Hopes

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam

'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam

All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop


34.What Is This Thing Called Love?

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in thorugh my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again

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 threw it away
That's why I ask the Lawd in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?


35.The Moon Was Yellow

Written:Edgar Leslie/Fred Ahlert
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

The moon was yellow and the night was young
A smile brought us together, a
And I was wond'ring whether
We'd meet again some day.

The moon was yellow and a song was sung,
That vocal inspiration gave me the inclination
To give my heart away!

Her we are. Is our romance to continue?
Will it be my luck to win you?
May I look that far?

Ah! My love is mellow and my hopes are strung,
Around that cupid fellow,
Behold! The moon is yellow,
And the night is young


36.I Love Paris

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Neal Hefti/Billy May

I love Paris in the spring time
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why oh why do I love Paris
Because my love is here


37.Blues In The Night

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants
My mama done tol' me, ' Son a woman'll sweet talk'
And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two-face, A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing
the blues in the night

Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin, 'Whooee!'
(My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross
the trestle, 'Whooee!'
(My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's
a-echoin' back th' blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' and the moon'll
hide its light when you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song,
he knows things are wrong, and he's right

From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the
four winds blow
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there
is one thing I know
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing
the blues in the night

My mama was right, there's blues in the night.


38.Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
Now when that twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels

When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue, blue as the sky
Since love has gone, I can't get myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
I've got to get a new alibi
I hang around at home, and ask myself: 'Where is she?'
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Moving on a stream of dreams
My little memories, those precious memories
Remind me of our crazy schemes

Then somebody says, just forget about her
But I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by - oh well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry


39.Nice 'N' Easy

Written:Alan Bergman/Marilyn Bergman/Lew Spence
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Let's take it nice and easy
It's gonna be so easy
For us to fall in love

Hey baby what's your hurry
Relax and don't you worry
We're gonna fall in love

We're on the road to romance - that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way

The problem now of course is
To simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime
'Cause nice and easy does it every time


40.The Christmas Song(Chestnut Roasting On An Open Fire)

Written:Mel Torme/Bob Wells
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Nat King Cole

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos

Everybody knows some turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to.. You!
