1.Over the Rainbow

Lyrics:E.Y.'Yip'Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen

Someplace where there isn't any trouble...
...do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?
There must be. It's not a place you can get to
by a boat or a train. It's far, far away...
Behind the moon
Beyond the rain

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?


2.Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody

Climb upon my knee Sonny boy
You are only 3 Sonny boy
You have no way of knowing
I have no way of showing
What you mean to me Sonny boy
When they are gray skies honey
I don't mind those gray skies
I'll still have you Sonny boy
Don't you know that
My friends may forsake me
Let them go on and forsake me
You're gonna pull me straight through
Sonny boy
You're sent from heaven
And I know your worst
You've made a heaven for me
Right here on earth

I'm coming yes I'm coming
I'm sorry that I made you wait
Yes I'm coming, good God I'm coming
I hope and pray it's not too late
Can't you hear my mammy
My little mam, my little mammy
I walk a million miles for one of your smiles
My mam, my my mam my little mammy

Weep no more, weep no more my lady
Sing that song again for me
Sing a song that low just as though
You had me you had me right there on your knee
A million baby kisses I'm gonna deliver
As many that you sing that's what I deliver

Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby
With a Dixie melody

Friends may forsake me
Let them forsake me
I'll still have you Sonny boy


3.Judy's Olio Medley:

a.(Dear Mr. Gable) You Made Me Love You
Lyrics:Joseph Mccarthy
Music:Jimmy Monaco

Dear Mr. Gable,
I am writing this to you
and I hope that you will read it so you'll know
My heart beats like a hammer
and I stutter and I stammer
every time I see you at the picture show.
I guess I'm just another fan of yours
and I thought I'd write and tell you so.

You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it.
You made me love you
and all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it.
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad.
But there were times, sir, you made me feel so sad.
You made me sigh 'cause
I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you
I think you're grand, that's true
Yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do.
I must tell you what I'm feeling
The very mention of your name
sends my heart reeling.
You know you made me love you!

(dialogue)

Aw, gee, Mr. Gable, I don't wanna bother you! Guess you got a
lotta girls that tell you the same thing. And if you don't wanna
read this, well, you don't have to. But I just had to tell you
about the time I saw you in 'It Happened One Night'. That was
the first time I ever saw you, and I knew right then you were
the nicest fella in the movies! I guess it was 'cause you acted
so, well so natural like - not like a real actor at all, but
just like any fella you'd meet at shool or at a party. Then one
time I saw you in a picture with Joan Crawford, and I had to cry
a little 'cause you loved her so much and you couldn't have her
- not 'till the end of the picture, anyway. And then one time I
saw you in person. You were making a personal appearance at the
theatre, and I was standing there when you got out of your car,
and you almost knocked me down! Oh - but it wasn't your fault!
Naw, I was in the way. But you looked at me, and you smiled.
Yeah! You smiled right at me as if you meant it, and I cried all
the way home just 'cause you smiled at me for being in your way!
Aw, I'll never forget it, Mr. Gable. Honest injun. You're my
favorite actor!

(singing)

I don't care what happens, let the whole world stop.
As far as I'm concerned, you'll always be the top,
'cause you know you made me love you.

b.For Me And My Gal
Lyrics:Edgar Leslie/Ray Goetz Music:George W.Meyer

What a beautiful day
For a wedding in May!
See the people all stare
At the loveable pair.

She's a vision of joy,
He's the luckiest boy.
In his wedding array
Hear him smilingly say:

The bells are ringing for me and my gal,
The birds are singing for me and my gal.
Everybody's been knowing
To a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewing,
Every Susie and Sal.
They're congregating for me and my gal,
The Parson's waiting for me and my gal.
And sometime
I'm goin' to build a little home for two,
For three or four or more,
In Love-land for me and my gal.

See the relatives there
Looking over the pair!
They can tell at a glance
It's a loving romance.

It's a wonderful sight
As the families unite.
Gee! It makes the boy proud
As he says to the crowd:

The bells are ringing for me and my gal,
The birds are singing for me and my gal.
Everybody's been knowing
To a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewing,
Every Susie and Sal.
They're congregating for me and my gal,
The Parson's waiting for me and my gal.
And sometime
I'm goin' to build a little home for two,
For three or four or more,
In Love-land for me and my gal.

(repeat chorus)

c.The Boy Next Door
Lyrics:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane Music:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane

The moment I saw him smile,
I knew he was just my style,
My only regret is we've never met,
Though I dream of him all the while.

But he doesn't know I exist,
No matter how I may persist,
So it's clear to see there's no hope for me,
Though I live at 5135 Kensington Avenue
And he lives at 5133.

How can I ignore
The boy next door?
I love him more than I can say.
Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me,
And he never sees me glance his way.

And though I'm heart-sore
The boy next door affection for me won't display,
I just adore him, so I can't ignore him,
The boy next door.

I just adore him, so I can't ignore him,
The boy next door.

d.The Trolley Song
Lyrics:Ralph Blane/Hugh Martin Music:Ralph Blane/Hugh Martin

With my high starched-collar and my high-topped shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head,
I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley, and lost my heart
instead.
With his light brown derby and his bright green tie,
He was quite the handsomest of men.
I started to yen so I counted to ten, then I counted to ten
again.

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley, ding, ding, ding went the
bell,
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings, from the moment I saw
him I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor, bump, bump, bump went the
brake,
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings, when he smiled I
could feel the car shake.
He tipped his hat, and took a seat, he said he hoped he hadn't
stepped upon my feet.
He asked my name, I held my breath.
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor, pop, pop, pop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to go then I started to know how it feels, when
the universe reels.
The day was bright, the air was sweet,
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet.
You tried to sing, but couldn't squeak, in fact you loved him so
you couldn't even speak.
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer, plop, plop, plop went the
wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to leave, I took hold of his sleeve with my hand,
And as if it were planned, he stayed on with me and it was grand
just to stand
With his hand holding mine to the end of the line.


4.I'm Old Fashioned

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Jerome Kern

I am not such a clever one
About the latest fads
I admit I was never one
Adored by local lads

Not that I ever try to be a saint
I'm the type that they classify as quaint

I'm old fashioned
I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things

The sound of rain
Upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings

This year's fancies
Are passing fancies
But sighing sighs holding hands
These my heart understands

I know I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

(bridge)

I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
Oh please stay old fashioned with me


5.Come Rain Or Come Shine

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harold Arlen

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


6.Last Night When We Were Young

Lyrics:E.Yip Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen

Last night when we were young
Love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real so right
Ages ago last night

Today the world is old
You flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star that shone so bright
Ages ago last night?

To think that spring had depended
On merely this: a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
Could slip away in one little daybreak

So now, let's reminisce
And recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung

When we were young last night


7.Me And My Shadow

Written:Al Jolson/Dave Dreyer/Billy Rose

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.


8.By Myself

I'll go my way by myself
This is the end of romance
I'll go my way by myself
Love is only a dance
I'll try to apply myself
And teach my heart how to sing
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing
I'll face the unkown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself alone
I'll go my way by myself
Here's how the comedy ends
I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends
Gray clouds in the sky above
Have put a blotch on my fun
I'll try to fly high above
For my place in the sun
I'll face the unkown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
No one knows better than I myself
How I wanted love and fell
Now I say what the hell
All of those black days are gone
Cause its solo, all alone
By myself, from now on


9.Then You've Never Been Blue


10.It's So Lovely To Be Back Again In London


11.Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart

Lyrics:James F.Hanley
Music:James F.Hanley


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


12.Day In-Day Out

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Rube Bloom

Day in - day out
That same old voodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart, whenever I think of you
And baby I think of you
Day in and day out

Day out - day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I get up with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

Come rain - come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
When there it is, day in - day out


13.I Can't Give You Anything But Love

Lyrics:Dorothy Fields
Music:Jimmy Mchugh

I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while
You're sure to find
Happiness and I guess
All those things you've always pined for

Now, gee I love to see you lookin' swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
Till that lucky day, you know darn well, baby
I can't give you anything but love


14.Purple People Eater

Lyrics:Sheb Wooley
Music:Sheb Wooley

Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye.
I commenced to shakin' and I said 'ooh-eee'
It looks like a purple people eater to me.

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater.
(one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater)
A one-eyed one-horned,flyin' puple people eater
Sure looks strange to me. (one eye?)

Well he came down to earth and lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you 'cos you're so tough

It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me. (one horn?)

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flying purple
people eater.
Pidgeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(we wear short shorts) Flyin' purple people eater
sure looks strange to me.

And then he swung from the tree and lit on the ground.
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy little ditty with a swingin' tune
(sing awop bop aloo bop lop bam boom)

Well, bless my soul, rock and roll
flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater.
Flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me. (puple people?)

And then he went on his way, and then what do you know.
I saw him last night on a TV show.
He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead
Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head

(sax solo)

Tequila!


15.Do It Again

In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in but they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' so they put you on the street

You go back, Jack, do it again, wheels turinin' 'round and
'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

When you know she's no high climber then you find your only
friend
In a room with your two timer, but you're sure you're near the
end
Then you love a little wild one, and she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin', you'll be on your knees
tomorrow

Chorus

Guitar Solo
Keyboard Solo

Now you swear and kick and beg us that yopu're not a gamblin'
man;
Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
Your black cards can bring you money so you hide them when
you're able
In the land of milk and honey you must put them on the table

Chorus


16.When The Sun Comes Out

Lyrics:Harold Arlen
Music:Harold Arlen

When the sun comes out
And that rain stops beatin' on my window pane,
When the sun comes out
There'll be bluebirds 'round my door, singin' like they did
before

That ol' storm broke out
And my gal walked off and left me in the rain.
Though she's gone, I doubt
If she'll stay away for good -- I'd stop livin' if she should.

Love is funny,
it's not always peaches, cream and honey.
Just when everything looked bright and sunny,
Suddenly the cyclone came -- I'll never be the same

Til that sun comes out
And the rain stops beatin' on my window pane.
If my heart holds out,
Let it rain and let it pour; it may not be long before
There's a knockin' at my door --

Then you'll know the one I love walked in
When the sun comes out.


17.The Worst Kind Of Man


18.The Red Balloon


19.How Long Has This Been Going On?

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin

I could cry some chin-chin tears
Where have I been all these years
A little while come on tell me now
How long has this been going on
What a kick and how I buzz
My son you click like nobody does
Listen sweet I repeat
How long has this been going on

CHORUS:
I feel like I could melt right into heaven
I've heard
And now I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once and then again once more
God what a dunce I was before
What a break for heaven sake
How long has this been going on

Chorus


20.It Never Was You


21.Swanee

Lyrics:Irving Caesar
Music:George Gershwin

I've been away from you a long time.
I never thought I'd miss you so.
Somehow I feel, your love was real,
Near you I long to be.

The birds are singing, it is song time.
The banjo's strummin' soft and low.
I know that you yearn for me too,
Swanee you're calling me.

Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my
Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me
Down by the Swanee

The folks up North will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore.
Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee.
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home.

Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I even know my Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore.


22.Happiness Is Just A Thing Called Joe

It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's, passing by

Sometimes the cabin's gloomey and the table's bare
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Trouble's fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good, that's all I need to know

Seems like happiness, is just a thing called Joe

Repeat second verse

Little Joe, my little Joe, little Joe!


23.Almost Like Being In Love/This Can't Be Love

Written:Alan Jay Lerner/Frederick Loewe

What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's, almost like being In Love

There's a smile on my face,
For the whole Human race
Why it's, almost like being In Love

All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me

And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I could tell I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love

It's almost, it's almost...
But this can't be love,
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love, I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the sky
My heart does not stand still
Hear it beat, this too sweet
To be love

This can't be love,
Because I feel so well
And yet I love to love
Glad I'm alive
Love to live, think I'll survive

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me

And from the way, that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I could tell I was falling
I would swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love...

Almost like being in love!


24.The Man That Got Away

The night is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter;
The winds grow colder
And suddenly you're older -
And all because of the man that got away.

No more his eager call,
The writing's on the wall;
The dreams you dreamed have all
Gone astray.

The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen the final inning.
Don't know what happened. It's all a crazy game!

No more that all-time thrill,
For you've been through the mill -
And never a new love will
Be the same.

Good riddance, good-bye!
Ev'ry trick of his you're on to.
But, fools will be fools -
And where's he gone to?

The road gets rougher,
It's lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up -
Tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no letup the live-long night and day!

Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman looking for
The man that got away....
The man that got away.


25.San Francisco

I never will forget, Mmmm...Jeanette MacDonald
Just to think of her, it gives my heart a pang
I never will forget, how that brave Jeanette
Just stood there in the ruins and sang, and sang...

San Francisco, open your golden gate
You'll let nobody wait outside your door
San Francisco, here is your wanderin' one
Saying I'll wander no more.

Other places only make me love you best
Tell me you're the one in all the golden west
San Francisco, I'm coming home again
Never to roam again...

San Francisco, right when I arrive
I really come alive...
And you will laugh to see me,
Perpendicular, hanging on a cable car

San Francisco, let me beat my feet
Up and down Market Street
I'm gonna climb Nob Hill, just to watch it get dark
From the top of the mark

There's Brooklyn Bridge, London Bridge,
And the Bridge of San Louis Rey
But the only bridge, that's a real gone bridge,
Is the bridge accross the bay

San Francisco, I'm coming home again,
Never to roam again, by gum
San Francisco, I don't mean Frisco
San Francisco, here I come!


26.Comes Once In A Lifetime

Lyrics:Betty Comden/Adolph Green

27.Sweet Danger


28.Just In Time

Lyrics:Betty Comden/Adolph Green
Music:Jule Styne

Just in time, I found you just in time
Before you came, my time was runnin' low
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go
Now you're here and now I know just where I'm goin'
No more doubt or fear, I found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely day


Now you are here and now I know just where I'm goin'
No more doubt or fear, 'cause I've found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely
Lonely life that lovely
Lonely life that lovely day


29.Whay Can't I?


30.I Could Go On Singing

When a dove is in love, with a doll of a dove,
He is out all night coo cooing
When the owl's on a prowl, or a femimine fowl,
He goes out all night woo wooing

Every bird and bee has it's loonacy
In the way he works his dream off
But when I feel high, here's the way that I
Like to get my kind of steam off:

Owls, hoo hoo
Others sigh
Doves coo coo
Ah, how I...

I could go on singing, til the cows come home
And the rooster starts to crow, crow, crow
When I see your eyes, I go all out
I must vocalize til you shout 'enough already!'

I could go on singing, til the moon turns pink
Anything from Faust to Ink-a-dink-a-dink
Love does funny things, when it hits you this way!

Repeat Chorus

I must keep on singing, like a lark, going strong,
With my heart on the wings of a song, singing day!


31.As Long As He Needs Me

Lyrics:Lionel Bart
Music:Lionel Bart

He doesn't say the things he should
He acts the way he thinks he should.
But all the same I'll play... his game his way

As long as he needs me
Oh yes he does need me
In spite of what you see
I'm sure that he needs me.

As long as life is long
I'll love him right or wrong
And somehow I'll be strong
As long as he needs me.

I miss him so much when he is gone
But when he's near me, I carry on

The love I feel inside
The love I have to hide
The hell, I've got my pride
As long as he needs me.

If you are lonely, then you will know
When someone needs you, you love him so.

I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true just
As long he needs me

35.Maggie May

Wake up Maggie
I think I've got something to say toyou
It's late September
And I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused
But I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from hme
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and
That's what really hurts

All I needed was a friend of lend a guiding hand
It's learning to a lover and
Mother what a lover and you wore me out
All you do is wreck my bed
And in the morning kickme in the head
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
I couldn't leave if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and go back to school
I'll steal my dad's cue
And make a iving out of playing pool
I'll find myself a rock n roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie,I wish I'd never seen you face

You made a first class fool of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart
But I love you anyway


36.Don't Rain On My Parade

Lyrics:Bob Merrill/Jule Styne
Music:Bob Merrill/Jule Styne

Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter.
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.

Don't tell me not to fly-- I've simply got to.
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you.
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade!

I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, Your turn at bat, sir.
At least I didn't fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it!

But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection,
Or freckle on the nose of life's complexion,
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye,
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?

Ooh, love is juicy, juicy, and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir!
Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a 'comer'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer.
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade!

I'm gonna live and live now,
Get what I want--I know how,
One roll for the whole shebang,
One throw, that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target--and wham--
One shot, one gun shot, and bam--
Hey, Mister Arnstein, here I am!

I'll march my band out, I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it.

Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a 'comer'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer.
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rain on my parade!


37.What Now, My Love?

Lyrics:Carl Sigman
Music:Gilbert Becaud

What now my love, now that you've left me
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turn to ashes
And my hopes turn to bits of clay

Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am numb, I've become unreal
I walk the night, without a goal
Stripped of my heart and my soul

What now my love, now that it's over
I feel the world falling all around me
Here come the stars, tumbling around me
There's the sky, where that sea should be

What now my love, now that you're gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live if I should live or die

What now my love, now there is nothing
Only my last, my last good-bye
