2.Should I(Reveal)(Album Version)

Lyricist:Nacio Herb Brown, A. Freed
Writer(s):Nacio Herb Brown, A. Freed
Mixing:George Siravo

Should I reveal exactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?
Should I recite beneath the pale moonlight?
And swear by the stars above you?

Could I repeat the sweetest story told?
Could I entreat, would it be too bold?

Should I reveal 'xactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?

Could I repeat that sweetest story told?
Could I entreat, would it be too bold?

Should I reveal 'xactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?
And swear by stars above you?
Should I confess I love you?


3.You Do Something To Me(Album Version)

Lyricist:C. Porter
Writer(s):C. Porter
Mixing:George Siravo

I was mighty blue
Thought my life was through
'Til the heavens opened
And I gazed at you

Won't you tell me, dear
Why, when you appear,
Something happens to me
And the strangest feeling goes through me?

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
You have the power to hypnotize me?

Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
That nobody else could do

Lover, when I'm near you, and I hear you - speak my name
Softly, in my ear you - breathe a flame

lover, when we are dancing,keep on glancing in my eyes,
til loves own enchanting music dies

all of my future is in you, you're every plan i design,
promise you'll always continue to be mine

Lover, it's immoral, but why quarrel - with our bliss
When, two lips of coral - want to kiss

I say (that) the devil is in you, and to resists you - I try
But if you didn't continue - I would die

Lover, please be tender, when you're tender - fears depart
Lover, I surrender - to my heart

So stop your sighing
Be happy again

Keep on smiling
Cause when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

When you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

When you're laughing

That sun comes shining through

You bring on the rain
So stop your sighing
Be happy again

Keep on smiling
Cause when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

Lyricist:B. Rose, E.Y. Harbourg, H. Arlen
Writer(s):B. Rose, E.Y. Harbourg, H. Arlen
Mixing:George Siravo

I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place

Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it

Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me


7.My Blue Heaven(78rpm Version)

Lyricist:George Whiting

Little nest that nestles where the roses bloom

Molly and me, and the baby makes three
We're happy in my, in my Blue Heaven

You're gonna see a smilin' face, fireplace, cozy room
And a little nest nestled where the roses bloom

Just Molly and me, and the baby is three

We're happy in my Blue Heaven
We're happy in my Blue Heaven!


8.The Continental(Album Version)

Lyricist:C. Conrad, H. Magidson
Writer(s):C. Conrad, H. Magidson
Mixing:George Siravo

Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm

It's something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra-new
It's very subtle, the Continental
Because it does what you want it to do

It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance

You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, ooh, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and so sentimental

You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with her and she's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time

You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time

Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm

The Continental!

Last Saturday night I got married me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion to jump in the river and drown

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams

Stop rambling
Stop my gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by your fire side bright

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams

(Irene goodnight Irene goodnight)

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams

Goodnight Irene

11.Life Is So Peculiar(78rpm Version)

Lyricist:Johnny Burke
Writer(s):James Van Heusen
Mixing:Percy Faith & His Orchestra

Oh life is so peculiar, you get so wet in the rain,
You get so warm in the sunshine, it doesn't pay to complain,
When I get up each morning, there's nothing to breathe but air.
When I look in the mirror, there's nothing to comb but hair.
When I sit down to breakfast, there's nothing to eat but food.
Life is so peculiar but you can't stay home and brood.

Yes, life is so peculiar, a fork belongs with a knife,
Corn beef is lost without cabbage, a husband should have a wife,
Life is so peculiar, but as everybody says:
That's life (that's life)

Oh, life is so peculiar, the desert's only got sand,
The ocean's only got water, you never know where you stand.
When I get out to dinner, there's nothing to wear but clothes,
Whenever I get sleepy, there's nothing to do but doze,
Whenever I get thirsty, there's nothing to do but drink,
Life is no peculiar that it makes you stop and think,
(Life is so peculiar,) it's so peculiar,
A fork belongs with a knife (a fork belongs with a knife)
Corn beef is lost without cabbage, a husband should have a wife,
Life is so peculiar, but as everybody says:
That's life.

That's right.


12.Accidents Will Happen(Album Version)

Lyricist:Johnny Burke
Writer(s):Jimmy Van Heusen
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

The likes of you may never be
Attracted to the likes of me,
But accidents will happen and I'll be around,
And maybe there'll be no one else but me around.

Forevermore may never start,
You may ignore my hopeful heart,
And chances are not the one to make you fall,
But accidents will happen after all.

A smile may show it,
Your eyes may glow
Before you know it,
I'm sure I'll know.

So if you fall in just that way,
Oh wouldn't I be thrilled
To hear you say
I had a lovely accident today.

Your eyes may glow, I'm sure I'll know

Your eyes may glow
I'm sure I'll know.

Writer(s):I. Novello, A. Melville
Mixing:Axel Stordhal

If only she'd look my way, just stop to say a word of greeting,
This let's-pretend would end there and then,

The every moment when my heart's not feeling,
If only she'd turn to smile that little while, however fleeting,

Would always seem a dream to dream today,
If only she'd look my way.

If only she'd turn to smile that little while, however fleeting,
Would always seem a dream to dream today,

If only she'd look my way


16.London By Night(Album Version)

Lyricist:C. Coates
Writer(s):C. Coates
Mixing:Axel Stordhal

London by night is a wonderful sight
There is magic abroad in the air
I'm often told that the streets turn to gold
When the moon shines on * Circus and Square *

Deep in the dark that envelops the park
There's romance in each cigarette glow
Down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems
Seem to wink at each girl and her beau

Up comes the moon when the city's asleep
He's not alone, for it seems
Somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch
While each Londoner dreams

My love and I saw the sun leave the sky
Then we kissed in the fast-fading light
Most people say they love London by day
But lovers love London by night


17.Meet Me At The Copa(Album Version)

Lyricist:S. Cahn, A. Stordahl
Writer(s):S. Cahn, A. Stordahl
Mixing:Axel Stordhal

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.

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.

Writer(s):Claude Aveling, Ernesto DeCurtis
Mixing:George Siravo

Guarda il mare com'e bello!
Spira tanto sentimento.
Come il tuo soave accento, che me desto fa sognar.

Senti come illeve salle, dai giardini odor d'aranci,
Un perfumo non v'ha eguale per chi palpita d'amore.

E tu dicro parto addio,
T'allontani dal mio core, questa terra del amore,
hai la forza di lasciar.

Ma non mi fuggir, non dar mi piu tormento, torna a Sorrento non
farmi morir

Writer(s):E.Y. Harbourg, V. Duke
Mixing:George Siravo

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to
What have you done to my heart

Mixing:Axel Stordahl

I guess I'll to dream the rest
If you can't remember the things that you said
The night that my shoulder held your sleepy head
If you believe that parting's best,
I guess I'll have to dream the rest.
I guess I'll have to dream alone
Of honeymoon cruises once dear to my heart,
Of one room apartments that we said we'd start
Of foolish things we planned to own,
I guess I'll have to dream alone.
I can see that your heart has gone astray,
As for me, I love you the same old way.
I guess I'll have to dream the rest,
There'll be no friends waiting to throw shoes and rice
Those heavenly moments will never come twice
I'm thankful for the hours you've blessed,
I guess I'll have to dream the rest.


21.Nevertheless(Album Version)

Lyricist:H. Ruby, B. Kalmar
Writer(s):H. Ruby, B. Kalmar
Mixing:George Siravo

I knew the time had to come
When I'd be held under your thumb
I'm like a pawn in your hand
Moved and compelled, at your command
Whether it's for bad or for good
I would never change it if I could

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose
And maybe I'm in for cryin' the blues
But nevertheless I'm in love with you

Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking

Maybe I'll live a life of regret, and maybe I'll give much more
than I get
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you

In spite of all I could do
I went ahead falling for you
So if I laugh or I cry
I made my bed, that's where I'll lie
For what happens there's no excuse
I put my own head in the noose

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

I am loved, absolutely loved,
What a wonderful thing to be able to say.

I'm adored, I'm adored by the one who first led my heart astray,
I'm adored, absolutely adored,
What a wonderful thing to be able to say.

So ring out the bells, and let the trumpets blow,
And beat on the drums, 'cause now I know, I know,

I am loved, I am loved,
What a wonderful thing, what a beautiful thing,
What a glorious thing to be able to say.

What a wonderful thing, what a beautiful thing,
What a glorious thing, I am loved.


25.You Don't Remind Me(Album Version)

Lyricist:C. Porter
Writer(s):C. Porter
Mixing:Axel Stordhal

You don't remind me of the iris in spring,
Or of dawn on the mountain when the bluebirds start to sing.

You don't remind me of the breeze on the bay,
Or a star in the fountain where the silver fishes play.

Through the moonglow in September,
You reveal no resemblance of the first snow in November,

You're not even a semblance.
No, you don't remind me of the world around me,

For behind me for so much such,
My love for you blinds me,

That my darling you only remind me of you,
Of you, of you.

Mixing:George Siravo

There's something missing in the way you say hello,
Baby, your words don't have that feeling any more,
Every time you hold me in your arms,
it seems we're miles apart.
Am I the one you're holding in your heart?
There's something missing in the way your lips touch mine.
Baby, I miss the flame that came with every kiss.
Is it only my imagination at play
That tells me that there is someone new,
Or must I really go on missing you?

Is it only my imagination at play

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

6.I Whistle A Happy Tune(Album Version)

Lyricist:Oscar Hammerstein II, R. Rodgers
Writer(s):Oscar Hammerstein II, R. Rodgers
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I'm afraid.

While shivering in my shoes, I try to tell each toe
To whistle a happy tune and no one ever knows I'm afraid.

The result of this deception is very strange to tell,
For when I fool the people I fear, I fool myself as well.

I whistle a happy tune, and every single time,
The happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid.

Make believe you're brave, that's the trick to take you far,
You may as brave as you make believe you are

(whistle)

Make believe you're brave, that's the trick to take you far,
You may as brave as you make believe you are

(whistle)

You may as brave as you make believe you are.


7.I'm A Fool To Want You(78rpm Version)

Lyricist:Jack Wolf, Joel Herron, Frank Sinatra
Writer(s):Jack Wolf, Joel Herron, Frank Sinatra
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

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 the 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'd have to say:

I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong; it must be wrong...
But right or wrong, I can't get along
Without you

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'd have to say:

Take me back...I love you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong; it must be wrong...
But right or wrong, I can't get along
Without you.

If you'll just call up and say 'I love you, just you'

You're all that I desire, love me
I'd die if you should tire, oh, of me, love me
I'll be kind and I won't mind if you're not near
If you'll only love me, dear

Love me
I'll be kind and I won't mind if you're not near
If you'll only love me, dear

My feet were killing me, my dogs were barkin',
I must have fallen asleep where I was parkin',
And then I dreamed two dogs were talkin', take my word,
It was the doggone-est thing you ever heard.

She said, (Mama will bark.) You look so lovely in the moonlight.
(Yes, but Papa will bark.) Your eyes are shining like the
starlight.
(Yes but Mama will bark.) Your lips are so inviting, darling,
Give me one more kiss. Howl.

(Mama will spank.) The night is young and you are here so near
(But Papa will spank.) Please let me whisper in your ear, my
dear.
(But Mama will spank.) This is the moment I have dreamed of,
darling,
Oh, watch the bliss. Howl.

I think that I shall never see a tree as lovely as thee.
Hot dog, woof. (Take me right now.) I wish tonight would never
end.
(I know that Papa will spank.) I'd like to be more than a
friend.
I know but Mama will bark. You know I'm crazy 'bout you, honey.
Give me one more kiss. Howl.

Give me a kiss. (I really have to go, Mama will worry.)
Give me a kiss. (It's getting late. I really have to hurry.)
Pant. Pant. Pant. (Well, just a teensie weensie little one and
then goodnight.)

Howl. Give me a paw. (That thing inside me says I really
shouldn't).
Let me hold your paw. (If it were anybody else, I wouldn't.)
Give me a paw. (The way you make me stay out late with you,)
(It just ain't right.).

Howl. I swear that I shall never see a canine lovely as thee.
Hot dog, woof. (Take me right home.) I wish the night would
never end.
(I know but papa will spank). I'd like to be more than a friend.
(I know but Mama will bite.) You know I'm crazy about you,
honey,
Give me one more kiss. Howl!

Ow, you out there. This is for keeping me awake every night,
hah?
Well, take that! Yelp. And take that. Yelp. And take that. Yelp.
Yelp, yelp, yelp, yelp, yelp, yelp. Hot dog, woof.

(Come on, sweet, let's walk it. Here we go.)

It's a long way from your house to my house,
And the last bus left us long ago.
Goodnight, my sweet, I love you very very,
Oh my poor feet, is this trip necessary?

It's a long way from your lips to my lips,
And your lips to me are divine.
So have a little sympathy, say that you'll marry me,
It's such a long way from your house to mine.

(Walk those squares, and dodge those lines.)
(Gee, I feel light enough to skip home.)


It's a long way from your house to my house,
Your lips to me are divine.
So have a little sympathy, say that you'll marry me,
It's such a long way from your house to mine.

(Ahem, can I get in for five minutes more?)
(You mean this is goodnight after I walk you all the way home?)
It's such a long way from your house to mine.
(You know it is even longer going back to my house, sweet?)

Mixing:Ray Conniff & His Orchestra

I met her dancing to the Castle Rock,
I held her tight and danced around the clock
We rocked to romance to the Castle Rock,
She kissed me and I kissed my heart goodbye.

I felt like I was drifting 'cross the sky.
We rocked to heaven to the Castle Rock.
Music was soft and low, setting me all aglow,
Holding it to my heart, how could I dream we'd part.

Suddenly she was gone, leaving me dreaming on,
Now everytime they play the Castle Rock,
I'll take myself a walk around the block.
Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock.

I'm mad at dancing to the Castle Rock,
I held her tight and danced around the clock.
We rocked to romance to the Castle Rock.

Now everytime they play the Castle Rock,
I'll take myself a walk around the block,
Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock.

Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock.

Farewell, farewell to love,
she's gone and I'm through with love.
My schemes, my dreams of heaven are gone since she went away.
Her lips, her eyes,
her touch are the things that I'll miss so much.
Her style, her smile so thrilling,
are joys of a sweeter day.
Sun is shining so lovely,
days as bright as can be,
Sun keeps shining so lovely,
but that sun ain't shining for me.
So farewell, farewell to love,
she's gone, there's no sun above.
I've news of blues that got me,
I've lost, that's the cost of love.
(musical interlude)
Farewell, farewell to love,

My schemes, my dreams of heaven are gone since she went away.
Sun is shining so lovely,

So farewell, farewell to love,
she's gone, there's no sun above.

I'm oh so sad, I feel so bad.
I've lost, that's the cost of love.

Deep night, stars in the sky above
Moonlight, lighting our place of love
Night winds seem to have gone to rest
Two eyes, brightly with love are gleaming
Come to my arms, my darling, my sweetheart, my own
Vow that you'll love me always, be mine alone

Deep night, whispering trees above
Kind night, bringing you nearer, dearer and dearer
Deep night, deep in the arms of love

Come to my arms, my darling, my sweetheart, my own
Vow that you'll love me always, and be mine alone

Deep night, whispering trees above
Kind night, bringing you nearer, dearer and dearer
Deep night, deep in the arms of love

Lyricist:E. Green
Writer(s):E. Green

Now here's a story with quite a moral,
And all you gals, you gotta pay some mind,
Make sure you treat him very kind..

You could always get the other kind.
Messing around with another guy.

Then you rave and you'll even start to crave,
Man, you want to see her lying deep down in the grave.
So if the guy's nice, you better take my advice,
You better love him in the morning, kiss him every night,
Ooo, give him plenty of loving, treat him right,
Because a good man nowadays is hard to find.

[One fine day he dug another chick, she took all his loot and
cut him quick.]

Baby, don't you go away, I'm coming right home.

Well, I went back, but I told this doll,
I said: Woman, then is then, but now is now,
If you want me to stay, there's just one but (what?)
Keep a smile on your face, and keep your big mouth shut.

Well, we're back together, and everything is fine,
[For a good gal nowadays are hard to find..

Leroy!]Yes, ma'am!
[I am just .. you better keep those cotton picking hands off all
those other dames or I'll]
Or you'll what? [I'll fly over there and turn off all your
lights.]

Uh yeah, like I was saying, a good gal now adays is hard to find

Is just to tell them;
That I love you, a lot.
Then the world discovers;
As my book ends;
How to make two lovers of friends

Then soft through the starlit skies, I hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue when you're away,
My heart longs for you, so won't you stay?
My darling, hold me tight and whisper to me
Then soft through the starry night I hear a rhapsody

While all the world have frosty noses,
I'm knee-deep in roses,
Walking in the sunshine of your love.

Just so you know dear, I'm gonna tell you,
Your smile's my golden umbrella,

Even the rain-out, trouble and pain out of my heart.
And from the very start you tender affection in my direction.
T'was like a lovely blessing from above.
That's why I go around just beaming, wond'ring if I'm dreaming,
Walking in the sunshine of your love.

After the rain goes, people see rainbows,
But I see rainbows while it storms above,
So baby, is it any wonder I can laugh at thunder,
Walking in the sunshine of your love.

While all the world got big red noses,
I'm knee-deep in roses,
Walking in the sunshine of your love.

Just so you know dear, I'm gonna tell you,
Your smile's my golden umbrella,
Even the rain-out, trouble and pain out of my heart.

You're my girl the boys all know, you're my girl, I've told them

They called me a lucky guy, and I couldn't hide a feeling of
pride.
You're my girl, I've chosen you to be mine, my whole life
through.
And if this heart of mine had a voice, you'd hear it second my
choice,
You're what I've waited for, and you're my girl.

The kids that see me come to call have written your name and my
name on the
wall.
It's common gossip everywhere, that you and I have got it bad
for fair.
You're my girl, I've chosen you to be mine my whole life
through,
And if this heart of mine had a voice, you'd hear it second my
choice,
You're what I 've waited for, and you're my girl.

Her eyes were softer than the night, her lips were honey and
wine
And oh I love her more than life, I worship this love of mine.

(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)
(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)

I worshipped her so blindly till I was told one day,
For love of gold, my true love sold, sold her heart away.

(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)
(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)

The love that I had idolized has sold her heart away,
Too late, too late, I realized my idol had feet of clay.

A moon of red in a sky of white,

You know I'm playing the part of love,
I try my hand in the art of love,
Just for the thrill and glow of it.

Luna rossa, forgive me, luna rossa,
For the vows I made tonight that are untrue,
What else am I to do?

But blushing moon, there's a reason why,
The love I longed for has passed me by,
And so I play at the game but I,
I am lonely, luna rossa.

Luna rossa, forgive me, luna rossa,
For the vows I made tonight that are untrue,
What else am I to do?

But blushing moon, there's a reason why,
The love I longed for has passed me by,
And so I play at the game but I,
I am lonely, luna rossa.

22.The Birth Of The Blues(78rpm Version)

Lyricist:Lew Brown, B.G. DeSylva
Writer(s):Ray Henderson
Mixing:Henry Beau

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!

Gone and got the blues in Paris,
Paris blues called Azure-Te,
How can I be blue in Paris?
Easy 'cause you're far away.
Can't lose these blues, this Azure-Te.

Side-walk tables filled with people,
Always happy, always gay,
Still I'm all alone in Paris,
Praying you'll return someday,
Can't lose this blues, this Azure-Te

Montmarte, springtime, Eiffel Tower,
Funny taxis, the kids at play,
Paris without you is lonesome,
Yearning more and more each day,
Can't lose these blues, this Azure-Te,

If you knew how much I need you,
You'd come back to me to stay,
Having you with me in Paris,
Really is the only way,

You'd lose these blues, this Azure-Te

These Paris blues, this Azure-Te.

Writer(s):Cy Coleman, Joseph Allen McCarthy
Mixing:Percy Faith & His Orchestra

I'm sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I've got some habits
Even I can't explain
Could start for the corner
Turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now
I sit and daydream
I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes
There they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends
Leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now
Why can't I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that's not for me
Cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world
Go passing me by
So let people wonder
Let 'em laugh
Let 'em frown
You know I'll love you
Till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me now

3.Begin The Beguine(Album Version)

Lyricist:C. Porter
Writer(s):C. Porter
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

When they begin the beguine,
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
It brings back a memory ever green.

I'm with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore, an orchestra's playing;
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine.

To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And there we are, swearing to love forever,
And promising never, never to part.

What moments divine, what rapture serene,
'Til clouds came along to disperse the joy we had tasted;
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
I know but too well what they mean.

So don't let them begin the beguine,
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember;
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine.

Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play,
'Til the stars that were there before return above you,
'Til you whisper to me once more, 'Darling, I love you.'
And we suddenly know . . .what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine,
When they begin the beguine.

They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say

And, with a moon up above, it's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me

I can't recall who said it
I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand
And

The thing that's known as romance is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say

To leave your house some morning
And, without any warning
You're stopping people, shouting that love is grand
And

To hold a girl in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way
So they say

Writer(s):Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

That old black magic has me in its spell,
that old black magic that you weave so well.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine,
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
The same old tingle that I feel inside,
and then that elevator starts its ride,
And down and down I go,
round and round I go,
like a leaf that's caught in the tide.
I should stay away,
but what can I do?
I hear your name and I'm aflame,
Aflame with such a burning desire that only your kiss can put
out the fire.
For you're the lover I have waited for,
the mate that fate had me created for.
And every time your lips meet mine, darling,
down and down I go, round and round I go,
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in,
under that old black magic called love.

Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
'stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten

A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be

Love to them is just what they make it
I wish that I were the same
But love is my fav'rite game

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last

My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been FOOLED in the past
And still I fall in love too easily

How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
>From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?

Mixing:Axel Stordahl

I hear music when I look at you
A beautiful theme of every dream I ever knew
Down deep in my heart I hear it play
I can feel it start, then it melts away

I hear music when I touch your hand
A beautiful melody from some enchanted land
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say
'Is this the day?'

I alone have heard this lovely strain
I alone have heard this glad refrain
Must it be forever inside of me?
Why can't I let it go? Why can't I let you know?

Why can't I let you know the song my heart would sing?
Beautiful rhapsody of love and youth and spring
The music is sweet, and the words are true
The song is you

Why can't I let you know the song my heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody of love and youth and spring
The music is sweet, and the words are true
The song is you


12.Soliloquy(Parts 1 & 2)(Album Version)

Lyricist:Oscar Hammerstein II, R. Rodgers
Writer(s):Oscar Hammerstein II, R. Rodgers
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

I wonder what he'll think of me
I guess he'll call me the 'old man'
I guess he'll think I can lick
Ev'ry other feller's father
Well, I can!
I bet that he'll turn out to be
The spittin' image of his dad
But he'll have more common sense
Than his puddin-headed father ever had
I'll teach him to wrassle
And dive through a wave
When we go in the mornin's for our swim
His mother can teach him
The way to behave
But she won't make a sissy out o' him
Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill!
Bill. I will see that he is named after me, I will.
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall
And tough as a tree, will Bill!
Like a tree he'll grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you won't see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll toss him around
I don't give a damn what he does
As long as he does what he likes!
He can sit on his tail
Or work on a rail
With a hammer, hammering spikes!
He can ferry a boat on a river
Or peddle a pack on his back
Or work up and down
The streets of a town
With a whip and a horse and a hack
He can haul a scow along a canal
Run a cow around a corral
Or maybe bark for a carousel
Of course it takes talent to do that well
He might be a champ of theheavyweights
Or a feller that sells you glue
Or President of the United States
That'd be all right, too
His mother would like that
But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be
Not Bill!
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall
And as tough as a tree, will Bill
Like a tree he'll grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you won't see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed
bastard'll boss
him around
And I'll be damned if he'll marry the boss' daughter
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water
Who'll give him a peck
And call it a kiss
And look in his eyes through a lorgnet
Say, why am I talkin' on like this?
My kid ain't even been born, yet!
I can see him when he's seventeen or so
And startin' to go with a girl
I can give him lots of pointers, very sound
On the way to get 'round any girl
I can tell him ...
Wait a minute!
Could it be?
What the hell!
What if he is a girl?
What would I do with her?
What could I do for her?
A bum with no money!
You can have fun with a son
But you got to be a father to a girl
She mighn't be so bad at that
A kid with ribbons in her hair!
A kind o' neat and petite
Little tin-type of her mother!
What a pair!
I can just hear myself bragging about her!
My little girl
Pink and white
As peaches and cream is she
My little girl
Is half again as bright
As girls are meant to be!
Dozens of boys pursue her
Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her
>From her faithful dad
She has a few
Pink and white young fellers of two and three
But my little girl
Gets hungry ev'ry night and she come home to me!
My little girl, my little girl!
I got to get ready before she comes!
I got to make certain that she
Won't be dragged up in slums
With a lot o' bums like me
She's got to be sheltered
And be dressed in the best money can buy!
I never knew how to get money
But, I'll try, by God! I'll try!
I'll go out and make it or steal it
Or take it or die!

All week long I dreamed about our Saturday date
Don't you know that Sunday morning you can sleep late

Give me five minutes more (Here am I begging for), only five
minutes more
(Let me stay, let me stay)
Let me stay, let me stay (stay) in your arms


16.Things We Did Last Summer(Album Version)

Lyricist:Jule Styne, S. Cahn
Writer(s):Jule Styne, S. Cahn
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long

The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long

The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back

The leaves began to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long

I've tried so to forget, at times I do, and yet
The mem'ry of you lingers like our song
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long

19.The Coffee Song(They've Got An Awful Lot Of Coffee In Brazil)(78rpm
Version)

Lyricist:Bob Hilliard, Dick Miles
Writer(s):Bob Hilliard, Dick Miles
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

You can't get cherry soda
'cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil

No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
'cause the planters down in Santos all say 'No, no, no'

The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinkin' water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil

And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why, they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil

No tea, no tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say 'No, no, no'<<<

So you'll add to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunkin' doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee
An awful lot of coffee
Man, they got a gang of coffee in Brazil!!


20.Among My Souvenirs(Alternate Take)

Lyricist:E. Leslie, H. Nicholls
Writer(s):E. Leslie, H. Nicholls
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

There's nothing left for me
Of days that used to be
I live in memory
Among my souvenirs

Some letters sad and blue
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
Among my souvenirs

A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To give me consolation,

I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs

A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To give me consolation,

I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs


21.I Love You(Album Version)

Lyricist:Cole Porter
Writer(s):Cole Porter
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

i love you - I love you
Is all - that I can say

I love - I love you
The same old words - I'm saying in the same old way

(Little girl I love you - can't you see I love you)
(I love you - can't you see I love you)

I love you - I love you
Three words - that are devine
And now, my dear - I'm waiting (begging) to hear
The words - that (will) make you mine


22.September Song(Album Version)

Lyricist:M. Anderson, Kurt Weill
Writer(s):M. Anderson, Kurt Weill
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

Oh, it's a long, long time from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game

Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you


23.Blue Skies(Album Version)

Lyricist:Irving Berlin
Writer(s):Irving Berlin
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blues skies do I see

Bluebirds singing a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things lookin' so right
Noticin' the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on


24.Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry(Album Version)

Lyricist:Jule Styne, S. Cahn
Writer(s):Jule Styne, S. Cahn
Mixing:Axel Stordahl

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

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

Friends ask me out, I tell them I'm busy
I must get a new alibi
I stay at home, and ask myself: 'Who is he?'
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Hanging on a string of dreams
Fly little memories, my little memories
Remind me of our crazy schemes

Somebody said, just forget about her
So 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
