Judy Garland The Best Of Judy Garland Lyrics
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.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.

Lyrics:Gus Kahn
Music:Bronislau Kaper


5.I'm Always Chasing Rainbows

Written:Joseph Mccarthy/Harry Carroll

At the end of the rainbow there's happiness,
And to find it often I've tried,
But my life is a race, just a wild goose chase,
And my dreams have all been denied.
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame,
I wonder if it could be me.

Chorus:
I'm always chasing rainbows,
Watching clouds drifting by,
My schemes are just like all my dreams,
Ending in the sky.
Some fellows look and find the sunshine,
I always look and find the rain.
Some fellows make a winning sometime,
But I never even make a gain, believe me,
I'm always chasing rainbows,
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain.


6.It's A Great Day For The Irish

Lyrics:Roger Edens
Music:Roger Edens

It's a Great Day for the Irish,
It's a great day for the fair!
The sidewalks of New York are thick with blarney,
For sure you'd think of New York was ol' Killarney!

It's a great day for the shamrock,
For the flags in full array.
We're feeling so inspirish,
Sure because for all the Irish,
It's a Great, Great, DAY!

Music:Sammy Fain


8.How About You?

Lyrics:Ralph Freed
Music:Burton Lane

When a girl meets boy,
Life can be a joy,
But the note they end on,
Will depend on little pleasures they will share;
So let us compare.

I like New York in June, how about you?
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due.
I like potato chips, moonlight and motor trips,
How about you?
I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill,
and Franklin Roosevelt's looks give me a thrill.
Holding hands at the movie show,
when all the lights are low
may not be new, but I like it,
How about you?

I like Jack Benny's jokes.
To a degree.
I love the common folks.
That includes me.
I like to window shop on 5th Avenue.
I like banana splits, late supper at the Ritz,
How about you?
I love to dream of fame, maybe I'll shine.
I'd love to see your name right beside mine.
I can see we're in harmony,
Looks like we both agree
On what to do,
And I like it, how about you?

I'm so delighted I've ignited the spark within you.
Let me continue to make it burn.
With you I will be like a Trilby, so let's not dally.
Come on Svengali, I've lots to learn.
When you're arisin', start exercisin' daily.
For example, just a sample?
Bend and touch the floor fifty times or more.
Ha! A fine start to be a Bernhardt!
A dictionary's necessary but not for talking,
it's used for walking the Ziegfeld way.
Is this OK?
That's the trick, you're catching on quickly.
Should I take a bow?
A-ho! Let me show you how!
Just like partners on the stage.
If you can use a partner,
I'm the right age.

10.Bidin' My Time

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Artist:Judy Garland/Leo Diamond Harmonica Quintet

But I'm Bidin' My Time;
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' My Time.

Next year, next year,
Somethin's bound to happen;
This year, this year,
I'll just keep on nappin'

And Bidin' My Time
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm.
There's no regrettin'
When I'm settin'
Bidin' My Time.


11.Could You Use Me?

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Artist:Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney

Have some pity on an easterner
Show a little sympathy
No one possibly could be sterner
Than you have been with me.

There's a job that I'm applying for
Let me put it to you thus:
It's a partnership I'm dying for -
Mr. and Mrs. Us.

Now before you file it on the shelf
Let me tell you of myself.

Oh, I'm the chappie to make you happy,
I'll tie your shoesies and chase your bluesies.
Oh, lady would you
Oh, lady could you use me?

Now I'd shake the matt out and put the cat out,
I'd clean the garret and feed the parrot.
Oh, lady would you,
Oh, tell me, could you use me?

Do you realize what a good man you're getting in me?
I'm no Elk or Mason or Woodman who gets home at three.

The girls who see me grow soft and dreamy,
But I'm a gander who won't philander.
Oh, could you use me,
Cuz I certainly could use you.

There's a chap I know in Mexico
Who's as strong as he can be -
Eating nails and drinking Texaco,
He is the type for me.

There is one in California
More romantic, far, than you.
When he sings Ha Cha Chachoronia,
I often think he'll do.

But as for you sir, I'm afraid
You will never make the grade.
For you're no cowboy, you're soft, and how, boy!
I feel no muscle that's fit for tussle
I must refuse you, I cannot use you!

'Scuse me!

No night life for you, the birds would bore you,
The cows won't know you, a horse would throw you.
You silly many, you, to ask me, 'Can you use me?'

Though at love you may be a wizard,
I'm wanting to know -
Could you warm me up in a blizard,
Say forty below?

Your ties are freakish, your knees are weakish,
You're not a sender, you elbow bender,
Though you can use me,
I most certainly can't use you!


12.Embraceable You

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin

Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you - my heart grew tipsy in me.
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all,
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa - come to papa - do!
My sweet embraceable you.

I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all,
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa - come to papa - do!
My sweet embraceable you.


13.But Not for Me

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin

Old Man Sunshine - Listen, you!
Never tell me Dreams Come True!
Just try it -
And I'll start a riot.
Beatrice Fairfax - don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care;
I'm certain
It's the Final Curtain.
I never want to hear
From any cheer-
Ful Polyannas,
Who tell you Fate
Supplies a Mate -
It's all bananas!

They're writing songs of love,
But not for me;
A lucky star's above,
But not for me.

With Love to Lead the Way,
I've found more skies of Gray
Than any Russian play
Could Guarantee.

I was a fool to fall
And Get That Way;
Heigh ho! Alas! And al-
So Lackaday!

Although I can't dismiss
The mem'ry of his kiss -
I guess he's not for me.


14.I Got Rhythm

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin

Days can be sunny, with never a sigh
Don't need what money can buy
Birds in the trees sing their day full of song
Why shouldn't we sing along?

I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot
How do I get that way? Look at what I've got

I got rhythm, I got music
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daisys, in green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more ?


Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him, 'round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more ?

I got rhythm, I got music
I got daisys, in green pastures
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more ?


15.I'm Nobody's Baby

Written:Milton Ager/Lester Santly/Benny Davis

I woke up this morning and the sun was shining,
but I didn't see it.
Think I drank my orange juice, but I don't know,
I wouldn't guarantee it.
Wore my yellow dress - or was it blue?
Oh what's the use, I don't remember.
Is it Monday, is it Tuesday,
is it June or is it still December?
Sat beside my window, watched the couples strolling by
Felt so sorry for myself I couldn't even cry.
Finally I pulled the shade,
I couldn't stand the gaff.
So I sat down and wrote my epitaph.

I'm nobody's baby,
I wonder why.
Each night and day
I pray the lord up above
please send me down
somebody to love.
But nobody wants me,
I'm blue somehow.
Won't someone hear my plea
and take a chance with me,
because I'm nobody's baby now.

Believe me...

No, Nobody's baby,
and I've got to know the reason why.
Last week I was walkin' down the street
and met a boy and I said
'Hey, maybe I was meant for you'.
But he only tipped his hat
and shook his head,
kept on walkin' down the avenue.

Oh, nobody wants me,
I'm mighty blue somehow.
Won't someone hear my plea
and take a little chance with me?
Because I'm no-nobody's baby.
I'm blue somehow.
Won't someone hear my plea
and take a chance with me?
There's no denyin' I'm cryin',
I'm lonesome on my own-some.
I don't mean maybe,
I'm nobody's baby!

18.In Between

Lyrics:Roger Edens
Music:Roger Edens

Hold the light up to me
Get underneath my skin
I feel a little undefined
But I want to let you in
And I listen to the messages
The endless train of thought
But now it feels like I'm returning
Most everything I bought

Some say... it's all coming to an end
Some fool themselves with thoughts of new beginnings
It makes me wonder what they believe
'Cause we're in between
Sometimes it's just better to get on with it
Sometimes, lord knows, you gotta get off
There's no use holding on to what I mean
'Cause I'm in between
No use wondering what I mean

Saints and sinners, losers, winners
Masters and their slaves
The more you hide one or the other
The earlier your grave
The triumph and the tragedy
The endless bright parade
I know that most of us are innocent
But some should be afraid

'Cause they say we're all coming to an end
They fool themselves with thoughts of new beginnings
Well I don't buy it... it's just too clean
'Cause we're in between
Sometimes it's just better to get on with it
Sometimes, lord knows, you gotta get off
No use holding on to what I mean
'Cause I'm in between
No use wondering what I mean
'Cause I'm in between
Are you still wondering what I mean

Hold the light up to me... get underneath my skin
Humming like the wind
I feel a little undefined... I'm sorry if I seem...
So in between
It's so much better when you run your fingers through my hair
Humming like the air
I wish that I could hold you... I'm sorry if I seem...
So in between


19.Stompin' At The Savoy

Lyrics:Andy Razaf
Music:Benny Goodman/Chick Webb/Edgar Sampson

Savoy, the home of sweet romance,
Savoy, it wins you with a glance,
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance.

Your old form just like a clinging vine,
Your lips so warm and sweet as wine,
Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine.

How my heart is singing,
While the band is swinging,
I'm never tired of romping,
And stomping with you at the Savoy.
What joy - a perfect holiday,
Savoy, where we can glide and sway,
Savoy, let me stomp away with you;

The home of sweet romance,
It wins you at a glance,
Gives happy feet a chance to dance.
Just like a clinging vine,
So soft and sweet as wine,
So soft and close to mine, divine.

How my heart is singing,
While the band is swinging,
I'm never, never, never tired of romping,
And stomping with you at the Savoy.
What joy - a perfect holiday,
Savoy, where we can glide and sway,
Savoy, let me stomp away with you.


20.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

22.The Jitterbug

Lyrics:E.Yip Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen

DOROTHY:Did you just hear what I just heard?
LION:That noise don't come from no ordinary bird.
DOROTHY:It may be just a cricket , or a critter in the trees.
TIN MAN: It's giving me the jitters, in the joints around my
knees.

SCARECROW: I think I see a jijik, and he's fuzzy and he's furry.
I haven't got a brain but I think I ought to worry.
TIN MAN: I haven't got a heart, but I got a palpitation.
LION: As Monarch of the forest, I don't like the sitchy-ation

DOROTHY: Are you gonna stand around and let him fill us full of
horror?
LION: I'd like to roar him down, but I think I lost my roarer.

TIN MAN: It's a whozis.
SCARECROW: It's a whosis?
LION: It's a whatzis.
SCARECROW: It's a whatzis?
TIN MAN: Whozat?
LION: Whozat?

DOROTHY (singing chorus):
Who's that hiding,
In the tree top?
It's that rascal
The Jitterbug.

Should you catch him buzzin' round you,
Just look out for the Jitterbug.

Oh, the bees in the breeze
And the bats in the trees
Have a terrible, horrible buzz.
But the bees in the breeze
And the bats in the trees
Couldn't do what the Jitterbug does.

So be careful Of that rascal
Keep away from
The Jitterbug!

24.Good Morning

Lyrics:Arthur Freed
Music:Nacio Herb Brown

Good mornin', good mornin'!
We've danced the whole night through,
good mornin', good mornin' to you.

Good mornin', good mornin'!
It's great to stay up late,
good mornin', good mornin' to you.

When the band began to play
the sun was shinin' bright.
Now the milkman's on his way,
it's too late to say goodnight.

So, good mornin', good mornin'!
Sunbeams will soon smile through,
good mornin', my darlin', to you.

Here we are together,
a couple of stand-uppers.
Our day is done, breakfast time
starts with our supper.

Here we are together,
ah, but the best of friends must party.
So let me sing this party song
from the bottom of my hearty.

Good morning, it's a lovely morning.
Good morning, what a wonderful day.
We danced the whole night through.
Good morning, good morning to you.

I said good morning, see the sun is shinin'.
Good morning, hear the birdies sing.
It's great to stay up late.
Good mornin', good mornin' to you.

When the band began to play
the stars were shinin' bright.
Now the milkman's on his way,
it's too late to say goodnight.

Good morning, good morning!
Sunbeams will soon smile through.
Good mornin', good morning',
Good mornin', my darlin', to you!

26.Everybody Sing

Lyrics:Arthur Freed
Music:Nacio Herb Brown

When the whole world seems wrong
just learn the words of a simple song,
of blue skies above,
be a troubadour and all is love.

When April showers stray
the silver lining will come they say,
and singin' in the rain's the thing
that those happy days again will bring.

So, everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring.
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear the orchestra play?

Everybody sing, everybody start!
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart.
Everybody sing, get into the swing,
get happy, everybody sing.

Yeah, everybody sing, come on now, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring.
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear la-da-de-oo-de-lay-de-lay-o?

Everybody sing, everybody start.
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart.
Everybody sing, come on now get into that swing
Go Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do
Everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring.

Sing before breakfast, help the birdies along.
Before you have your buttered toast, have a song.
Sing before breakfast, never quiet a thing.
Before you eat your shredded wheat, sing, sing, sing!

Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye
four and twenty blackbirds baked into a pie.
When the pie was opened and set before the king,
four and twenty blackbirds started into sing.

Sing a melody of love, a song will win your lady fair.
Sing a song that mentions love and you will
yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi.

Sing a song of cheer again,
the skies above will be clear again,
those happy days are here again,
sing a song of cheer again.

If you worry, if you fret, if you're getting deep in debt,
let your frown turn summerset, get yourself a good quartet.

In the evening by the moonlight
you can hear those darkies singin'.

Sing good, sing bad,
Sing loud, sing soft,
Sing sweet, sing hot,
Sing!

Everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring.
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear la-da-de-oo-de-lay-de-lay-o?
Everybody sing, everybody start.
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart
Everybody sing, get into the swing,
Go Do Re Me Fa So La Si Do
Get Happy, get happy
amd everybody sing!

Lyrics:Roger Edens

I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen,
And I'll do anything
For little run away child

Gave my heart an engagement ring,
She took ev'rything,
Ev'rything I gave her,
Oh sweet sixteen

Built a moon
For a rocking chair,
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh.

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in.

Well I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh I'll do anything
For little runaway child

Well, memories may burn you,
Memories grow older as people can
They just get colder
Like sweet sixteen

I see it's clear
Baby, that you are
All through here
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in.
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in.

And I do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I do anything
For run away girl.

Yeah, sad and lonely and blue.
Yeah, gettin' over you.
How, how do you think it feels
Yeah to get up in the morning, get over you.
Up in the morning, get over you.
Wipe away the tears, get over you, get over, get over...

My sweet sixteen,
Oh runaway child
Oh sweet sixteen
Little runaway girl.

Gave my heart an engagement ring,
She left everything,
Everything I gave her,
Oh sweet sixteen
Built a moon
For a rocking chair,
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
And house her in.
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
And house her in.

And I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I'll do anything
For little runaway child

Do anything
For my sweet sixteen
I'll do anything
For little runaway girl
Little runaway girl
Oh sweet sixteen
Oh sweet sixteen

28.The Wearing Of The Green

Written:Roger Edens/Public Domain

Oh, Paddy dear, and did you hear
The news that's going round?
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on Irish ground!
St. Patrick's Day no more we'll keep,
His color can't be seen,
For there's a bloomin' law agin'
The wearing of the green.
I met with Napper Tandy
And he took me by the hand,
And he said, 'How's poor old Ireland
And how does she stand?'
'She's the most distressful country
That ever yet was seen;
They're hanging men and women there
For wearing of the green.'

Then since the color we must wear
Is England's cruel red,
Sure Ireland's songs will ne'er forget
The blood that they have shed.
You may take the shamrock from your hat now,
Cast it on the sod,
But 'twill take root and flourish still,
Tho' under foot it's trod.
When the law can stop the blades of green
From growing as they grow,
And when the leaves in summertime
Their verdue dare not show,
Then I will change the color that I
Wear in my canteen;
But 'till that day, please God, I'll stick
To wearing of the green.

Arranger:Roger Edens

Twas on a bright morning in Summer
When I first heard his voice spakin' low
As he said to a colleen beside him
'Who's that pretty girl milking her cow?'

Och many times often ye met me
And told me that I should be
You darling, Acushla,
A Lana Mavourneen, Asuilish machree

Purty girl, purty girl,
With no on there to show her how
The purt, purt, purty girl is now
Milking her cow

I have not the manners or graces
Of the girls in the world where ye move
And I have not their beautiful faces
But oh, I've a heart that can love

And if it please ye, I'll dress me in satin
With jewels, jewels in me brow
But och, don't be after forgettin'
Your purty girl milking her cow

Purty girl, purty cow,
I'm sure this song would have never been wrote
If the pretty girl hadda been milking her goat
But the goat wasn't feeling well anyhow
So the pretty girl was milking her cow.

Her cow, her cow...
La, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la la, la, la, la La, la, la, la
A purty girl milking her cow!


32.Americana

Lyrics:Con Conrad
Music:Con Conrad

Well I'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place
Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away

Where culture's defined by the
Ones least refined
And you'll be left behind
If you don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my way

Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true

Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait

My future's determined by
Thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way

Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true

I'm a product
Of my environment
So don't blame me, i just work here
But i want to fuck it up

My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way

My nightmare has come true
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true


33.Embraceable You

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin

Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you - my heart grew tipsy in me.
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all,
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa - come to papa - do!
My sweet embraceable you.

I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all,
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa - come to papa - do!
My sweet embraceable you.
