1.Opening Theme

(Instrumental)


2.When You're Smiling(The Whole World Smiles With You)

Written:Larry Shay/Joe Goodwin/Mark Fisher

When you're smilin', when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughin', when you're laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through

But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop that cryin', be happy again
Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you

When you're smilin', when you're smilin'
The whole world, it smiles with you
When you're laughin', oh babe, when you're laughin'
The sun would-a come shining through

But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop that sighin', come on and be happy again
Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin', baby
The whole world smiles with you


3.Almost Like Being In 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 the bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love

Almost like being in love

Just like being in love

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

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


4.This Can't Be Love

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers

In Verona my late cousin Romeo
Was three time as stupid as my Dronio
for he fell in love
and then he died of it
poor half-wit!

This can't be love because I feel so well
no sob. No sorrow ,no sight
This can't be love I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
just here It beats
this is too sweet to be love
This can't be love because I fell so well
but still I love to look in your eyes

Though your cousin love my cousin Juliet
loved her with a passion much more truly yet
some poor playwright
wrote their drama just for fun,
It won't run!

This can't be love because I feel so well
no sob. No sorrow ,no sight
This can't be love I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
just here It beats
this is too sweet to be love
This can't be love because I fell so well
but still I love to look in your eyes


5.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


6.You Go To My Head

You go to my head
and you linger like a haunting refrain
and I find you spinning 'round in my brain
like the bubbles in a glass of champagne.

You go to my head
like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
and I find the very mention of you
like the kicker in a julep or two.

The thrill of the thought
that you might give a thought to my plea
casts a spell over me
till I say to myself
get ahold of yourself!
Can't you see that it never can be?

You go to my head
with a smile that makes my temperature rise
like a summer with a thousand Julys.
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes.

Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
hasn't a ghost of a chance
in this crazy romance,
you go to my head.


7.Alone Together

Alone together, beyond the croud,
Above the world, we're not to proud
To cling together,We're strong
As long as we're together.
Alone together, the blinding rain
The starless night, were not in vain;
For we're together, and what is there
To fear together.
Our love is as deep as the sea,
Our love is as great as a love can be,
And we can weather the great unknown,
If we're alone together.


8.Who Cares(As Long As You Care For Me)

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin

Who cares if the sky cares to fall in the sea?
Who cares how history rates me?
Long as your kiss intoxicates me!
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee,
So long as I care for you,
And you care for me.


9.Puttin' On The Ritz

Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

High hats and narrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time

Now, if you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper

Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or 'umberellas'
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz

------ short instrumental break ------

Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
Very snappy

You'll declare it's simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin' on the Ritz


10.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


11.Just You Must Me


12.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.


13.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!


14.That's Entertainment

Written:Howard Deitz/Arthur Schwartz

The clown with his pants falling down or the dance that's a
dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean.
That's entertainment!

The lights on the lady in tights or the bride with a guy on the
side,
Or the ball where she gives him her all.
That's entertainment!

The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex,
a gay divorcee who is after her 'ex'.
It can be Oedipus Rex, where a chap kills his father
and causes a lot of bother.
The clerk who is thrown out of work by the boss,
Who is thrown for a loss by the skirt who is doing him dirt.
The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment.


15.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


16.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


17.You're Nearer

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers

Verse
Time is a healer
But it cannot heal my heart,
My mind says I've forgotten you
And then I feel my heart.
Though the miles lie between us
But your fingers touch my own,
You're never far away from me
For you're too much my own.

Refrain

You're nearer
Than my head is to my pillow,
Nearer than the wind is to the willow.
Dearer than the rain is
To the earth below,
Precious as the sun to
The things that grow.
You're nearer than the ivy to the wall is,
Nearer than the Winter to the Fall is,
Leave me
But when you're away
You'll know you're nearer
For I love you so.


18.If Love Were All

Lyrics:Noel Coward
Music:Noel Coward

Fate may often treat me meanly
But I keenly pursue
A little mirage in the blue,
Determination helps me through.

Though I never really grumble,
Life's a jumble indeed
And in my efforts to succeed
I've had to formulate a creed.

I believe in doing what I can
In crying when I must
In laughing when I choose
Hey ho, if love were all
I should be lonely.

I believe the more you love a man,
The more you give your trust,
The more you're bound to lose.
Although when shadows fall
I think if only
Somebody splendid really needed me
Someone affectionate and dear
Cares would be ended if I knew that he
Wanted to have me near.

But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just a talent to amuse.
Hey ho, if love were all.
Hey ho, if love were all.

Although when shadows fall
I think if only
Somebody splendid really needed me
Someone affectionate and dear
Cares would be ended if I knew that he
Wanted to have me near.

But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just a talent to amuse.
Hey ho, if love were all.
Hey ho, if love were all.

Hey ho, if love were all.


19.A Foggy Day(In London Town)

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin

A foggy day, in London town
It had me low, and it had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
The British Museum, had lost its charm

How long I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles, it hadn't past
And suddenly, I saw you standing right there
And in foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere


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


21.Stormy Weather

Lyrics:Ted Koehler
Music:Harold Arlen

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time

Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all the time

When she went away, the blues walked in and they met me
If she stays away, that old rockin' chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time
Keeps rainin' all the time


(When she went away, the blues walked in and met me)
(If he stays away, old rockin' chair will get me)
(All I do is pray the Lord above will let me)
(Walk in the sun once more)

Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time, the time
Keeps rainin' all the time


22.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.


23.For Me and My Gal

Lyrics:Edgar Leslie/Ray Goetz
Music:George W.Meyer
Artist:Judy Garland/Gene Kelly

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)


24.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.


25.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


26.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.


27.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!


28.After You've Gone

Written:Henry Creamer/Turner Layton

After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Someday, when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away

After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You're gonna feel blue, and you're gonna feel sad
You're gonna feel bad
And you'll miss, and you'll miss,
And you'll miss the bestest pal you ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
But baby, think what you're doin'
I'm gonna haunt you so, I'm gonna taunt you so
It's gonna drive you to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away.


29.San Francisco(Reprise)

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!


30.Sail Away

Lyrics:Randy Newman
Music:Randy Newman

In America you get food to eat
Don't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet
You just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American

Ain't no lions or tigers
Ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Everybody is as happy as a man can be
So climb aboard little wog and sail away with me

Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American

Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay


31.Something's Coming

Lyrics:Stephen Sondheim
Music:Leonard Bernstein

Could be!
Who knows?
There's something due any day;
I will know right away,
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down through the sky,
Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose!

Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to me!

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something's coming, I don't know what it is,
But it is
Gonna be great!

With a click, with a shock,
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock,
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon;
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch!

Around the corner,
Or whistling down the river,
Come on, deliver
To me!
Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holding still,
It'll be there!

Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!
The air is humming,
And something great is coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight . . .


32.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


33.Get Me To The Church On Time

Written:Alan Jay Lerner/Frederick Loewe

I'm gettin' married in the morning
Ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, let's have a whopper
But get me to the church on time

I gotta be there in the morning
Spruced up and looking in my prime
Girls, come and kiss me, show how you'll miss me
But get me to the church on time

If I am dancing, roll up the floor
If I am whistling, whisk me out the door, for

I'm gettin' married in the morning
Ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus but don't lose your compass
And get me to the church, get me to the church
For Pete's sake, get me to the church on time


34.Joey Joey Joey

Lyrics:Bob Dylan
Music:Bob Dylan

Born in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in the year of who knows when
Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion
Always on the outside of whatever side there was
When they asked him why it had to be that way, 'Well,' he
answered, 'just because.'

Larry was the oldest, Joey was next to last.
They called Joe 'Crazy,' the baby they called 'Kid Blast.'
Some say they lived off gambling and runnin' numbers too.
It always seemed they got caught between the mob and the men in
blue.

Joey, Joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, Joey,
What made them want to come and blow you away?

There was talk they killed their rivals, but the truth was far
from that
No one ever knew for sure where they were really at.
When they tried to strangle Larry, Joey almost hit the roof.
He went out that night to seek revenge, thinkin' he was
bulletproof.

The war broke out at the break of dawn, it emptied out the
streets
Joey and his brothers suffered terrible defeats
Till they ventured out behind the lines and took five prisoners.
They stashed them away in a basement, called them amateurs.

The hostages were tremblin' when they heard a man exclaim,
'Let's blow this place to kingdom come, let Con Edison take the
blame.'
But Joey stepped up, he raised his hand, said, 'We're not those
kind of men.
It's peace and quiet that we need to go back to work again.'

Joey, Joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, Joey,
What made them want to come and blow you away?

The police department hounded him, they called him Mr. Smith
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
'What time is it?' said the judge to Joey when they met
'Five to ten,' said Joey. The judge says, 'That's exactly what
you get.'

He did ten years in Attica, reading Nietzsche and Wilhelm Reich
They threw him in the hole one time for tryin' to stop a strike.
His closest friends were black men 'cause they seemed to
understand
What it's like to be in society with a shackle on your hand.

When they let him out in '71 he'd lost a little weight
But he dressed like Jimmy Cagney and I swear he did look great.
He tried to find the way back into the life he left behind
To the boss he said, 'I have returned and now I want what's
mine.'

Joey, Joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, Joey,
Why did they have to come and blow you away?

It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun
'I'm around too many children,' he'd say, 'they should never
know of one.'
Yet he walked right into the clubhouse of his lifelong deadly
foe,
Emptied out the register, said, 'Tell 'em it was Crazy Joe.'

One day they blew him down in a clam bar in New York
He could see it comin' through the door as he lifted up his
fork.
He pushed the table over to protect his family
Then he staggered out into the streets of Little Italy.

Joey, Joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, Joey,
What made them want to come and blow you away?

Sister Jacqueline and Carmela and mother Mary all did weep.
I heard his best friend Frankie say, 'He ain't dead, he's just
asleep.'
Then I saw the old man's limousine head back towards the grave
I guess he had to say one last goodbye to the son that he could
not save.

The sun turned cold over President Street and the town of
Brooklyn mourned
They said a mass in the old church near the house where he was
born.
And someday if God's in heaven overlookin' His preserve
I know the men that shot him down will get what they deserve.

Joey, Joey,
King of the streets, child of clay.
Joey, Joey,
What made them want to come and blow you away?


35.Never Will I Marry

Never, never will I marry
Never, never will I wed
Born to wander solitary
Wide my world narrow my bed
Never, never will I marry
Born to wander till I'm dead
No burdens to bear, no conscious, no care
No memories to mourn, no turning on
For I was born to wander solitary
Wide my world narrow my bed
Never, never will I marry
Born to wander till I'm dead.


36.Hey Look Me Over

Lyrics:Carolyn Leigh
Music:Cy Coleman

Refrain

Hey, look me over,
Lend me an ear,
Fresh out of clover,
Mortgaged up to here,

But don't pass the plate, folks,
Don't pass the cup,
I figure whenever you e down and out,
The only way is up,

And I'll be up like a rosebud,
High on the vine,
Don't thumb your nose, bud,
Take a tip from mine,

I'm a little bit short of the elbow room,
But let me get me some,
And look out, world,
Here I come!

(repeat refrain)


37.The Party's Over(Hopelessly In Love)

Lyrics:Steve Perry
Music:Steve Perry

Hello
You never call me up
When I'm alone at night.
What can this poor boy do,
When he's hopelessly in love with you?
So I will tell you now
This love is fallin' down.
Just what more can I do,
When I'm hopelessly in love with you?

Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you.

So I will tell you this,
Our love is in a fix.
Just what more can I do.
When I'm hopelessly in love with you?

You never call me up
When I'm alone at night.
What can this poor boy do,
When he's hopelessly in love with you?

Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love with you

Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
I'm hopelessly in love with you

Oh, bye-bye, baby
The party's over,
I have gone away.
The party's over,
I have gone away.
The party's over,
I have gone away.
The party's over,
I have gone away.
Oo, the party's over,
I have gone away.


38.Some People

Some people can get a thrill
knitting sweaters and setting still.
That's okay for some people
who don't know they're alive.

Some people can thrive and bloom
living life in the living room.
That's perfect for some people
of one hundred and five.

But I at least gotta try
when I think of all the sights that I gotta see
and all the places I gotta play,
all the things that I gotta be at.
Come on, papa, what do you say?

Some people can be content
playing bingo and paying rent.
That's peachy for some people,
for some hum-drum people to be,
but some people ain't me!

I had a dream,
a wonderful dream, papa,
all about June in the Orpheum circuit.
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.

I had a dream.
Just as real as can be, papa.
There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
and he was saying to me, 'Rose,
get yourself some new orchestrations,
new routines and red velvet curtains.
Get a feathered hat for the baby;
photographs in front of the theatre.
Get an agent and in jig time
you'll be being booked in the big time.'

Oh, what a dream.
A wonderful dream, papa.
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.
That's what he said, papa.
Only eighty-eight bucks.

'You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose.'

'Well, I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And get my
kids out!'

Goodbye to blueberry pie.
Good ridance to all the socials I had to go to,
all the lodges I had to play,
all the shriners I said hello to.
Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way!

Some people sit on their butts;
got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
That's living for some people,
for some hum-drum people I suppose.
Well, they can stay and rot!
But not Rose!
