1.Let's Fall In Love
Written:Ted Koehler/Harold Arlen
Arranger:Johnny Mandel
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing - I don't know
why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, I am falling, love is calling - why be shy
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
2.You'd Be So Easy To Love
Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Johnny Mandel
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
And we would be so grand at the game
Carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
'cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love
You'd be so easy to love
Easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep all the home fires burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
'cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love
Easy to love
Easy to love
3.The Coffee Song(They've Got An Awful Lot Of Coffee In Brazil)
Lyrics:Bob Hilliard
Music:Dick Miles
Arranger:Johnny Mandel
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
The planters down in Santos all say no no no
The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking 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
So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
4.Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart
Lyrics:James F.Hanley
Music:James F.Hanley
Arranger:Johnny Mandel
Never could carry a tune, never knew where to start
You came along when everything was wrong and put a song in my
heart
Dear when you smiled at me, I heard a melody
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me started a symphony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
'Twas like a breath of spring, heard a robin sing
About a nest set apart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies blue again
What else could I do again
Keep repeating through again
'I love you, love you'
I still recall the thrill, guess I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies blue again
What else could I do again?
Keep repeating through again
'I love you, I do love you'
I still recall the thrill, I guess that I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
5.The Last Dance
Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
It's the last dance, we've come to the last dance
They're dimming the lights down, they're hoping we'll go
It's obvious they're aware of us, the pair of us
Alone on the floor
Still I want to hold you like this forever and more
It the last song, they're playing the last song
The orchestra's yawning, they're sleepy I know
They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave
Keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
And save me the first dance in your dreams tonight
6.The Second Time Around
Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Love is lovelier, the second time around
Just as wonderful, with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the
young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say, what brought us to this miracle we've found
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once - and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
7.Tina
Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
You simply can't forget her
The moment you have met her, your heart will never ever be the
same
Tina, Tina, nobody else but Tina, that's the little lady's name
And once you've gone and kissed her
Give up, you can't resist her, your thoughts will wear her
picture like a frame
Tina, Tina, nobody quite like Tina, that's the little lady's
name
She'll merely smile, and in a twinkling
You'll swear that smile contains a star
Before that smile, you had no inkling
How much in love you really are
Let others look for angels
I have no time for angels, I've found someone more than just
divine
Tina, Tina, no sir, you can't have Tina
Tina is mine, all mine
Tina is mine, all mine
8.Without A Song
Written:Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans
Arranger:Sy Oliver
Without a song the day would never end
Without a song the road would never bend
When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn would never see a plow
That field of corn would be deserted now
A man is born but he's no good no how
Without a song
I got my trouble and woe but, sure as I know, the Jordan will
roll
And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes that grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song
I've-a got my trouble and woe and, sure as I know, the Jordan
will roll
And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
I'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song
9.It Started All Over Again
Written:Bill Carey/Carl Fischer
Arranger:Sy Oliver
It started all over again the moment I looked in your eyes
It started all over again, the thrill we can never disguise
The day that we parted, so broken hearted, will never return
again
Dreams I've delayed, promises made are starting anew just for
you
It started all over again the moment I held you so tight
It started all over again when we kissed away the night till
dawn's early light
Now we're together, sweethearts forever, we'll build our romance
anew
It started all over again the moment I looked at you
It started all over again the moment I held you so tight
It started all over again when we kissed away the night, the
dawn's early light
Now we're together, sweethearts forever, we'll build our romance
anew
It started all over again the moment I looked at you
10.Love Walked In
Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Billy May
Love walked right in and drove the shadows away
Love walked right in and brought my sunniest day
One magic moment and my heart seemed to know that love said
hello
Though not a word was spoken
One look, and I forgot the gloom of the past
One look and I had found my future at last
One look and I had found a world completely new
When love walked in with you
One magic moment and my heart seemed to know that love said
hello
Though not a word was spoken
One look and I had found a world completely new
When love walked in with you
11.You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You
Written:Larry Stock/Russ Morgan/James Cavanaugh
Arranger:Billy May
You're a nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old
The world still is the same, you'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
Find yourself somebody to love
You're a nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be a king, you may possess the whole world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're gettin' old
The world still is the same, you'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody, nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody
Gotta get yourself somebody
Because you're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may a king, you might possess the big fat world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old
The world, the whole world's the same, you'll never change it
change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're a nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody somebody to love
12.Don't Take Your Love From Me
Lyrics:Henry Nemo
Music:Henry Nemo
Arranger:Heinie Beau/Don Costa
Tear a star from out the sky
And the sky feels blue
Tear a petal from a rose
And the rose weeps too
Take your heart away from mine
And mine will surely break
My life is yours to make
So please keep the spark awake
Would you take the wings from birds
So that they can't fly
Would you take the ocean's roar
And leave just a sigh
All this your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me
13.Come Rain Or Come Shine
Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Don Costa
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
14.Night And Day
Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Don Costa
Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath 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 longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' 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 yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
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 burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
15.All Alone
Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
All alone, I'm so all alone
There is no one else but you
All alone by the telephone
Waiting for a ring, a ting-a-ling
I'm all alone every evening
All alone, feeling blue
Wond'ring where you are and how you are
And if you are all alone too
I wonder where you are (remember me) and how you are (remember
me)
And if you are (I love you) all alone (I love you) too
NOTE: Backup in final stanza is a soprano
16.What'll I Do
Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
What'll I do?
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do?
What'll I do?
When I am wond'ring who
Is kissing you
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?
17.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.
18.Don'Cha Go 'Way Mad
Written:Illinois Jacquet/Al Stillman/Jimmy Mundy
Arranger:Neal Hefti
I must confess what you say is true
I had a rendez-vous with somebody new
(But) That's the only one I ever had
Baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad
Cheatin' shows and it never goes
You've got a reason to be mad I suppose
But she only was a passing fad
Baby, don'cha be mad
Her kind's a dime a dozen
And that's not the kind I want (I should have past her by)
Who'd ever dream your cousin
Would wander in to that restaurant (Would come along and give us
the eye)
I understand that you feel (you're quite) upset
What do you say that you forgive and forget
Come on and kiss me just to show your glad
Baby, baby (baby, baby.....) don'cha go 'way mad
(Now don'cha go 'way mad)
19.A Garden In The Rain
Written:James Dyrenforth/Carroll Gibbons
Arranger:Robert Farnon
'twas just a garden in the rain
Close to a little leafy lane
A touch of color 'neath skies of gray
The raindrops kissed the flower beds
The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed 'Thank you' they seemed to say
Surely here was charm beyond compare - to view
Maybe it was just that I was there - with you
'twas just a garden in the rain
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way
'twas just a garden in the rain
But then that sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way
20.A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
Written:Manny Sherwin/Eric Maschwitz
Arranger:Robert Farnon
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 Berkley 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 Berkley 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 darn world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And, as we kissed and said goodnight,
A nightingale sang in Berkley Square
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And, as we kissed and said goodnight,
A nightingale sang in Berkley Square
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkley Square
21.Please Be Kind
Written:Sammy Cahn/Saul Chaplin
Arranger:Neal Hefti
This is my first affair - please be kind
Handle my heart with care - please be kind
This is all so grand
My dreams are on parade
If you'll just understand
They'll never, never fade
So tell me your love's sincere - please be kind
Tell me I needn't fear - please be kind
'Cause if you leave me dear, I know my heart - will lose its
mind
If you love me - please be kind
22.Pennies From Heaven
Written:Arthur Johnston/Johnny Burke
Arranger:Neal Hefti
Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
Every time, every time it rains, it's gonna rain pennies from
heaven
Don't you know every cloud contains lots of pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune's fallin', baby, all over the town
Be sure, be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you've got to have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
23.Me And My Shadow
Written:Al Jolson/Dave Dreyer/Billy Rose
Arranger:Billy May
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Sammy Davis Jr.
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you'll never get rid of me
Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.
Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza
Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog when it clings to L.A.
We're closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue
And when it's sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!
Me and my shadow
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at Jilly's right after Toot's Shore
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me!
Say Frank?
What is it, Sam?
Do me a favor?
What do you want, now?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time?
From the top?
No! From the ending!
Wonderful!
And while we are swinging, to mention a few
We'll drop in at Danny's, The Little Club too
But wind up at Jilly's, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Wow!)
For my shadow and me!
Frank?
Oh, forget it Sam.
24.I Have Dreamed
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely
And I have dreamed what a joy you'll be
I have dreamed ev'ry word you'll whisper
When you're close, close to me
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
I will love being loved by you
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
I will love being loved by you
25.America The Beautiful
Written:Katherine Lee Bates/Samuel Ward
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
(America, America, America, America)
O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain
For purple moutain majesties above thy fruited plain!
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
(O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years)
(Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears)
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
26.California
Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
I've known her valleys, I've known her mountains
Her missions and her courtyards and her fountains
The giant redwoods towering in the skies of her
That grow as though as they know they show the size of her
I've often wandered her farthest reaches
Her deserts and her snow and, yes, her beaches
A land that paradise could well be jealous of
That's California, California, blessed by heaven from above
That's California, land I love
(I've known her valleys, I've known her mountains)
(Her missions and her courtyards and her fountains)
(The giant redwoods towering in the skies of her)
(That grow as though as they know they show the size of her)
I've often wandered her farthest reaches
Her deserts and her snows and, yes, her beaches
A land that paradise could well be jealous of
That's California, California, bless'd by heaven from above
That's California, the land I love
27.Soliloquy
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
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!
28.Luck Be A Lady
Lyrics:Frank Loesser
Music:Frank Loesser
Arranger:Billy May
They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out
Your on this date with me
The pickin's have been lush
And yet before the evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady never leaves her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice
Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
A lady never flirts with strangers
She'd have a heart, she'd be nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice
Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
29.Here's To The Losers
Written:Robert Wells/J.Segal
Arranger:Marty Paich
Here's to those who love not too wisely, know not wisely, but
too well
To the girl who sighs with envy when she hears that wedding bell
To the guy who'd throw a party if he knew someone to call
Here's to the losers, bless them all
Here's to those who drink their dinners when that lady doesn't
show
To the girl who'll wait for kisses underneath that mistletoe
To the lonely summer lovers when the leaves begin to fall
Here's to the losers, a-bless them all
Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of the rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne
Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still
believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, bless them all
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of that rain

Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, here's to the losers, here's to the losers
Bless them all!
30.The Way You Look Tonight
Written:Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.
31.My Kind Of Town
Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
And so I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people too
People who, smile at you
And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz
And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Chicago Cubbies, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town
32.The Best Is Yet To Come
Lyrics:Carolyn Leigh
Music:Cy Coleman
Arranger:Quincy Jones
Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up is underway
Wait till out lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
Come the day that your mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain that cup dry
Wait till your charms are right, for the arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I hold you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
33.Fly Me To The Moon
Written:Bart Howard
Arranger:Quincy Jones/Patrick Williams
Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me
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, I love you
34.September Song
Written:Maxwell Anderson/Kurt Weill
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around, she came
When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring
You court them in song and rhyme
They answer with words and a clover ring
But if you could examine the goods they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And the plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time
Oh, it's a long, long while 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
35.It Was A Very Good Year
Written:Ervin M.Drake
Arranger:Quincy Jones/Billy Byers
When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
It was a mess of good years
36.This Is All I Ask
Lyrics:Gordon Jenkins
Music:Gordon Jenkins
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
As I approach the prime of my life, I find I have the time of my
life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure all the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
That this is all I ask, this is all I need
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange, enchanted land grown-ups seldom
understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has
flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than Spring
37.I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her
Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Torrie Zito
I'll only miss her, when I think of her
And I'll think of her, all the time
Likely I'll spend my days - hearing her turn of phrase
Things I found hard to praise - right now, would seem sublime
The truth is...
I'll Only miss her, when some stranger laughs
'Cause it's still her laugh - my hearts hears
Maybe in time - I guess, the longing will grow, the slightest
bit less
And there will be moments - yes - when it disappears
I'll bet I'll forget her completely - in about a hundred years
38.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
39.Moonlight Serenade
Lyrics:Glenn Miller Orchestra
Music:Mitchell Parish
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
I stand at your gate.
And the song that I sing is of moonlight.
I stand and I wait
For a touch of your hand in a June night.
The roses are sign of moonlight serenade.
The stars are all aglow.
And tonight how their light set me dreaming.
My love, do you know
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you, and I sing you a moonlight serenade.
Let us trace 'til break of day
In love's valley of dreams.
Just you and I, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze, kiss on a tree.
So don't let me wait.
Come to me tenderly in a June night.
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in a moonlight.
A love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade.
40.I Wished On The Moon
Written:Dorothy Parker/Ralph Rainger
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Every night was long and gloomy, shadows gathered in the air
No one ever listened to me, no one wondered did I care
None in all the world to love me, none to count that stars that
hung
Then the moon came out above me and I saw that it was young
I wished on the moon for something I never knew
Wished on the moon for more than I ever knew
A sweeter rose, a softer sky
An April day that would not dance away
I begged of a star to throw me a beam or two
Wished on a star and asked for a dream or two
I looked for ev'ry loveliness, it all came true
I wished on the moon for you
41.Oh, You Crazy Moon
Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Johnny Burke
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
When they met, the way they smiled, I saw that I was through
Oh, you crazy moon, what did you do?
And when they kissed, they tried to say that it was just in fun
Oh, you crazy moon, look what you've done
Once you promised me, you know, that it would never end
You should be ashamed to show your funny face, my friend
There they are, they fell in love, I guess you think that you're
smart
Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart
Once you promised me, you know, that it would never end
You should be ashamed to show your funny face, my friend
And there they are, they fell in love, I guess you think that
you're smart
Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart
42.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
43.The Shadow Of Your Smile
Written:Johnny Mandel/Paul Francis Webster
Arranger:Quincy Jones/Billy Byers
The shadow of your smile when you have gone
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star, it was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips and so, so did I
Now when I remember Spring and every little lovely thing
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile
Your lovely smile
44.Street Of Dreams
Lyrics:Sam Lewis
Music:Victor Young
Arranger:Billy May
Love laughs at a king, kings don't mean a thing on the street of
dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new on the street of
dreams
Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold's up there on a moonbeam
Poor, there ain't nobody poor
Long as love is sure on the street of dreams
All the gold, silver and gold
All you can hold's up there on a moonbeam
Poor, nobody's poor
Long as love is sure on the street of dreams
45.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
46.Strangers In The Night
Written:Charles Singleton/Bert Kaempfert/Eddie Snyder
Arranger:Ernie Freeman
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night what were the chances
We'd be sharing love before the night was through
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in you smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
and
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
47.Summer Wind
Written:Johnny Mercer/Henry Mayer
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
The summer wind, came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden
sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind
The autumn wind and the winter winds, they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
The summer wind
Warm summer wind
Mmm, the summer wind
48.All Or Nothing At All
Written:Arthur Altman/Jack Lawrence
Arranger:Joe Beck
All or nothing at all
Half a love, never appealed to me
If your heart, never could yield to me
Then I'd rather (rather) have nothing at all
All or nothing at all
If it's love, there is no in between
Why begin then cry, for something that might have been
No I'd rather (rather) have nothing at all
But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall
And if I fell (I fell) under the spell of your call
I would be, caught in the undertow
So you see, I've got to say no, no
All or nothing at all
49.That's Life
Written:Kelly Gordon/Dean Kay
Arranger:Ernie Freeman
That's life - that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I say, that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks steppin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet - a pawn and a
king
I've been up and down and over and out - and I know one thing:
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life - I tell you - I can't deny it:
I thought of quittin', baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy
it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird an then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet - a pawn and a
king
I've been up and down and over and out - and I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, laying flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life. that's life, and I can't deny it:
Many times I thought of cuttin' out, but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball...
And die
My, my
50.I Concentrate On You
Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Claus Ogerman
Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you
When fortune cries 'Nay, nay' to me
And people declare 'You're through'
Whenever the blues become my only songs
I concentrate on you
On your smile, so sweet, so tender
When at first my kiss you do decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine
And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even the wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you
51.Dindi
Written:Ray Gilbert/Antonio Carlos Jobim
Arranger:Claus Ogerman
Sky, so vast is the sky, with far away clouds just wandering by,
Where do they go? Oh I don't know, don't know;
Wind that speaks to the leaves, telling stories that no one
believes,
Stories of love belong to you and to me.
Oh, Dindi, if I only had words I would say all the beautiful
things that I see when you're with me, Oh my Dindi.
Oh Dindi, like the song of the wind in the trees, that's how my
heart is
singing Dindi, Happy Dindi, When you're with me.
I love you more each day, yes I do, yes I do;
I'd let you go away, if you take me with you.
Don't you know, Dindi, I'd be running and searching for you like
a river
that
can't find the sea, that would be me without you, my Dindi.
can't find the sea that would be me without you Dindi.
Like a river that can't find the sea, that would be me without
you, my
Dindi.
52.Once I Loved(O Amor En Paz)
Written:Antonio Carlos Jobim/Ray Gilbert/Vinicius Demoraes
Arranger:Claus Ogerman
Once, once I Loved
And I gave so much love to this world you were the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye
And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls I'll never let you go
I will hold you close
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away
53.How Insensitive(Insensatez)
Written:Antonio Carlos Jobim/Ray Gilbert/Vinicius Demoraes
Arranger:Claus Ogerman
How insensitive I must have seemed
when she told me that she loved me.
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
when she told me so sincerely.
Why,she must have asked, did I just turn
and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say? What can you say
when a love affair is over?
Now she's gone away and I'm alone
with the memory of her last look.
Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still,
all her heartbreak in that last look.
How, she must have asked, could I just turn
and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do? What can one do
when a love affair is over?
54.Drinking Again
Written:Johnny Mercer/Doris Tauber
Arranger:Claus Ogerman
Drinking again,
And thinking of when you loved me
I'm having a few
And wishing that you were here.
Making the rounds...
Accepting a round from a strangers
Being a fool
Just hoping that you'll appear.
Sure, I can borrow a smoke
Maybe tell some joker a bad joke
But nobody laughs,
They don't laugh at a broken heart.
Oh, yeah, I'm drinking again
It's always that same old story
After the kicks
There's little old mixed-up me
Tryin' to lose, a dream that used to be.
55.Something Stupid
Written:C.Carson Parks
Arranger:Billy Strange
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Nancy Sinatra
I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: 'I love you'
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: 'I love you'
('I love you, I love you,...')
56.All I Need Is The Girl
Written:Stephen Sondheim/Jule Styne
Arranger:Billy May
Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest, all I need now is the
girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes high
Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm,
Now all I need's the girl to go with'em
If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl
And if she'll say 'My, darling, I'm yours'
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed
All I really need is the girl
Got my tweed pressed, I got my best vest, all I need now is the
girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes 'way up high
I got the time and the place and the rhythm
All I need's the girl to go with'em
Mm, if she'll just appear we'll take this, this great big town
for a whirl
And if, if she'll say 'My, darlin', I'm yours'
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed
All I real, really need is the girl
< more instrumental with scat>
All I need is the girl
57.Indian Summer
Written:Al Dubin/Victor Herbert
Arranger:Billy May
Summer, you old Indian Summer
You're the tear that comes after June-time's laughter
You see so many dreams that don't come true
Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new
You are here to watch over
Some heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray
Fading too soon, that's why I say
'Farewell to you, Indian Summer'
You are here to watch over
A heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray
Fading too soon, that's why I say
'Farewell to you, Indian Summer'
You old Indian Summer
58.My Way
Written:Paul Anka/Claude Francois Ravaux/Gilles Thibault
Arranger:Don Costa
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
'No, oh no not me,
I did it my way'.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
59.Wave
Written:Antonio Carlos Jobim
Arranger:Eumir Deodato
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Antonio Carlos Jobim
So close your eyes
For thats a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
together
You can't deny don't try to fight the rising sea
Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
together
When I saw you first the time was halfpast three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
together
When I saw you first the time was halfpast three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream
together
60.A Man Alone
Lyrics:Rod Mckuen
Music:Rod Mckuen
Arranger:Don Costa
In me you see a man alone
Held by the habit of being on his own
A man who listens to the trembling of the trees
With sentimental ease
In me you see a man alone
Behind the wall he's learned to call his home
A man who still goes walking in the rain
Expecting love again.
A man not lonely
Except when the dark comes on
A man learning to live with
Memories of midnights
That fell apart at dawn
In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Only other people's dreams.
A man learning to live with
Memories of midnights
That fell apart at dawn
In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Just other people's dreams.
61.Forget To Remember
Written:Victoria Pike/Teddy Randazzo
Arranger:Don Costa
Pretend there is no silence, alone in your apartment
Don't notice things that once were hers,
Ignore the endless hours
Don't chase the dream that your hearts were after, children's
laughter
Somehow believe in living, forget about the giving
Just tell your life it must go on
Run from yourself until you can't be found
But don't remember, refuse to remember
Forget to remember love
62.There Used To Be A Ballpark
Lyrics:Joe Raposo
Music:Joe Raposo
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
And there used to be a ballpark where the field was warm and
green
And the people played their crazy game with a joy I'd never seen
And the air was such a wonder from the hot dogs and the beer
Yes, there used a ballpark right here
And there used to be rock candy and a great big Fourth of July
With the fireworks exploding all across the summer sky
And the people watched in wonder, how they'd laugh and how
they'd cheer
And there used to be a ballpark right here
Now the children try to find it
And they can't believe their eyes
'cause the old team just isn't playing
And the new team hardly tries
And the sky has got so cloudy
When it used to be so clear
And the summer went so quickly this year
Yes, there used to be a ballpark right here
63.What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?
Lyrics:Alan Bergman/Marilyn Bergman
Music:Michel Legrand
Arranger:Don Costa
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
64.Just As Though You Were Here
Written:Eddie Delange/John Benson Brooks
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
I'll wake each morning and I'll promise to laugh
I'll say 'Good morning' to your old photograph
Then I'll speak to you, dear, just as though you were here
When purple shadows start to welcome the dark
I'll take the same old stroll we took through the park
And I'll cling to you, dear, just as though you were here
But I know so well that distance and time will finally tear us
apart
The farther you go, the longer you stay, the deeper the doubts
in my heart
Each night before I wander off into sleep
I'll bring to light the tears I've buried so deep
Then I'll kiss you, my dear, just as though you were here
And when I hear a lonesome train, I'm afraid
I'll think of all those trips we never quite made
Fragile dreams that we planned
Then I'll reach for your hand
Just as though, just as though you were here
65.The Lady Is A Tramp(Live)
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
66.Empty Tables
Written:Johnny Mercer/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Bill Miller
It's like singin' to empty tables
Or a gallery full of ghosts
Or like givin' a great big party
Where nobody shows but the host
That's what it's been like, baby
That's what it's been like all night
Without you around to applaud me
Every night's just like closing night
And I'm singin', singin' the same old numbers
'n' I'm tellin' the same sad jokes
And there's nothin' out front but mem'ries
And lot of transparent folks
So, please call, call and make a reservation
In our favorite spot for two
'cause I'm singin' to empty tables without you
Without you
Without you
67.Send In The Clowns
Lyrics:Stephen Sondheim
Music:Stephen Sondheim
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
Isn't it rich, aren't we a pair
Me here at last on the ground - and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around - and one who can't move
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted - was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines - nobody there
Don't you love a farce; my fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Well maybe next year
68.I Love My Wife
Written:Cy Coleman/Michael Stewart
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
My thoughts may stray
My eyes may roam
The neighbor's grass may seem much greener
Than the grass right here at home
If pretty girls excite me
Well, that's life
But just in case, you didn't know
I love my wife
My mind at times
May dwell on sex
If someone's rating dreams
Then most of mine I guess are double X
So dimpled knees delight me
Well, that's life
But just in case, you hadn't heard
I love my wife
Like bait that wriggles
And it makes catfish bite
A lady jiggles
And my eyes gotta light
Upon so sweet a sight
And if I shake
Break out in spots
Don't fret, it's not swine fever dear
Your swine has merely got the hots
If rosy lips invite me
Well, that's life
But just in case, you couldn't guess
I love my wife
My mind at times
May dwell on sex
If someone's rating dreams
Then most of mine I guess are double X
If rosy lips invite me
Well, that's life
But just in case, you couldn't guess
Or hadn't heard
Or didn't know
I love my wife
I love my wife
I love my wife
mmm
I love my wife
69.Nancy(With The Laughing Face)
Written:Phil Silvers/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
If I don't see her each day, I miss her
Gee what a thrill, each time I kiss her
Believe me, I've got a case
On Nancy, with the laughing face
She takes the winter and makes it summer
And summer could take some lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the laughing face
Have you ever heard mission bells ringing
Well she'll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just hear her say hello
I swear to goodness, you can't resist her
She's mighty sweet, and wait till you see her sister
No angel could replace
Nancy, with the laughing face
70.Emily
Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Johnny Mandel
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Emily, Emily, Emily
Has the murmuring sound of May
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels
And the laughter of children at play
They say 'Emily, Emily, Emily'
And we fade to a marvelous view
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see dreamily, Emily
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see dreamily, Emily
71.Sweet Lorraine
Written:Mitchell Parish/Cliff Burwell
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
When he's playing with his choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine
She's got a pair of eyes
That are bluer than the summer sky
When you see her you're gonna realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
When it's raining I don't miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie's smile
Just think that I'm the lucky one
Who will lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry my Lorraine
When it's raining I never miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie smile
Just the think that I'm the lucky one
Who's gonna lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
That'll be the day when I marry my Lorraine
72.My Shining Hour
Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Billy May
This moment, this minute, and each second in it
Will leave a glow upon the sky
And as time goes by
It will never die
This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
And in my dreams, your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night
Like the lights of home, before me
Or an angel, who's watching o'er me
This will be my shining hour
'Til I'm with you again
73.More Than You Know
Written:Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans
Arranger:Billy May
Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I am growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
Give you the break you need
More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find, you're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
I need you so
Much more than you'll ever know
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it
Oh how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry
If you got tired, and said good-bye
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know
74.The Song Is You
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Billy May
I hear music when I look at you;
A beautiful theme of ev'ry
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt 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?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true -
The song is you.
75.New York, New York(Theme From)
Lyrics:Fred Ebb/John Kander
Music:Fred Ebb/John Kander
Arranger:Don Costa
Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York
New York...New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm A number one, top of the list
King of the hill, A number one....
These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York New York!!!
76.Something
Lyrics:George Harrison
Music:George Harrison
Arranger:Don Costa
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way that she woos me
Don't want to leave her now
Better believe, and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
Better believe, and how
You're asking me will my love grow
Well, I don't know, no, I don't know
You stick around, Jack, it might show
I don't know, no, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
All I gotta do is just think of her
Something in the things that she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
Better believe, and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, no, I don't know
But you hang around, Jack, it might show
I don't know, no, I don't know
Something in the way she knows me
And all I gotta do is just think of her
Something in those things that she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
Better believe, and how
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
I don't plan to leave her now
77.The Gal That Got Away/It Never Entered My Mind
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
a.The Gal That Got Away
Lyrics:Ira Gershwin/Harold Arlen Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder, suddenly you're a lot older
And all because of a gal who got away
No more her eager call, the writing is on the wall
All those dreams you dreamed, they have all gone astray
The gal who won you, she's run off and undone you
That great beginning has seen the final inning
I don't know what happened, its all a crazy game
No more - no more that all time thrill because you have been put
though the mill
And never a new love will ever be the same
Good riddance, good-bye
Every trick of hers you are on to
But fools will be fools and where's she gone?
Where has she gone?
The road gets rougher, it's lonelier and it's tougher
With hope ya burn up, tomorrow maybe she'll turn up
There ain't no let up, live-long night, night and day
Ever since, since this world began
There ain't nothin' sadder than
A long-lost loser
Lookin' for his gal who got away
Please come back
Won't ya come back?
Mm, mm, mm
Mm mmmm
b.It Never Entered My Mind
Lyrics:Lorenz Hart Music:Richard Rodgers Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Once I laughed when I heard you say
That I'd be playing solitaire uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
Once you told me I was mistaken that I'd awaken with the sun
And order orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
You have what I lack myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lover's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
78.A Long Night
Written:Alec Wilder/Loonis Reeves Mcglohon
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
Long night, it's a long night, my friend
The barrooms and the back street's dead end
Sometimes I thought I saw the sunrise and good times in the air
It was just, it was just another big town with midnight's neon
glare
Long night, it's a long night, I know
The bus rides and the 'nowhere to go'
I've seen what the street corners do to things like love and
dreams
Seen what the bottle can do to a man with his hopes and his
schemes
A long night, what a long night it has been
The wheelers and the dealers, they win
I've tasted the 90-proof gin and chased it away with the blues
I rarely paid debts that I owed but I sure have paid my dues
No daylight, just a long night for me
79.Here's To The Band
Written:Arthur Bruce Schroek/Alfred G.Nattoli
Arranger:Joe Parnello
Hear that music playing, listen to what it's saying
Throughout the years I've made a lot of friends
Many became famous, most of them go nameless
But I dedicate this song to all of them
I've sung with the best and I've had it all
I've gone from neighborhood saloons to Carnegie Hall
I've been down and out and I've been in demand
But I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!
Those magical notes, those musical pearls
I've sung with all the Counts, the Dukes, the Kings, and the
Earls
And the experience, I have to say, was grand
But I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!
Strings soaring, horns boring
Drums pounding in my ear
To start at the ground and reach for the top
To have such a wonderful career, I just gotta stop
Stop and turn around to thank everyone that sits on the stand
'cause I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!
Here's to those ladies and the gentlemen
Here's to the AF of M
I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!
Here's to the band!
NOTE: 'AF of M' is a musician's union,
the American Federation of Musicians
80.It's Sunday
Written:Jule Styne/Susan Burkenhead
Drowsy morning sunlight, gentle kisses for my love
It's Sunday, it's Sunday
She needn't waken, I'll fix the eggs and bacon her way
While she just dozes
Lately I've taken to bringing her a flower on her tray
She's fond of roses
We'll talk away the morning, read the papers, misbehave
Enjoying each other
The world is ours to play in, we'll take a walk or stay in
Long and lazy hours to have and hide away in for one day
Thank goodness, it's Sunday
It is Sunday, it's Sunday
Lately I've taken to bringing her a flower on her tray
She's fond of roses
We'll talk away the morning, read the papers, misbehave
Enjoying each other
The world is ours to play in, we'll take a walk or stay in
Long and lazy hours to have and hide away in for one day
Thank goodness, it's Sunday
81.Mack The Knife
Written:Kurt Weill/Marc Blitzstein
Arranger:Frank Foster
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows 'em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though has Macheath dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife
From a tugboat, on the river going slow
A cement bag is dropping on down
You know that cement is for the weight dear
You can make a large bet Mackie's back in town
My man Louis Miller, he split the scene babe
After drawing out all the bread from his stash
Now Macheath spends like a sailor
Do you suppose our boy, he's done something rash
Old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin
Did this song nice, Lady Ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
That Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new
But with this big band, jumping behind me
Swinging hard, Jack, I now I can't lose
When I tell you, all about Mack the Knife babe
It's an offer, you can never refuse
We got Patrick Williams, Bill Miller playing that piano
And this great big band, bringing up the rear
All the band cats, in this band now
They make the greatest sounds, you're ever gonna hear
Oh Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver, Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lulu
Brown
Hey the line forms, on the right dear
Now that Macheath's back in town
You'd better lock your doors, and call the law
Because Macheath's back in town
