1.Stranger on Earth
Lyrics:R.Ward/S.Feller
Music:R.Ward/S.Feller
Some fools don't know what's right from wrong,
But somehow those folks belong.
Me, I travel all I'm worth,
But I still remain a stranger on this earth.
Some people gloom, other folks fly.
Me, I got to struggle to keep alive.
Ever since the day of my birth,
I've been a stranger on earth.
I try to be what all folks should,
Forgetting the bad and doing good.
But no matter how I try,
My troubles always multiply.
I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began.
The day is gonna come
when I don't have to prove my worth
I won't be a stranger on earth.
I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began.
The day's gonna come when
I don't have to prove my worth
And I won't be no stranger,
Won't be no stranger
Won't be no stranger
On this earth.
2.Nature Boy
Lyrics:E.Abbez
Music:E.Abbez
There was a boy,
a very small enchated boy.
They say he wandered very far, very far,
over land and sea.
A little shy and sad of eye,
but very wise was he.
And then one day.
One magic day he came my way.
And as we spoke of many things,
fools and kings,
this he said to me.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return.

Hey there baby make up your mind
'Cause I've been waiting such a long, long time
Now baby or never 'cause I been so good to you
Now baby or never 'cause I've been so lonesome, too
Now baby or never if I mean anything to you
Now baby or never 'cause I've wasted so much time
Now baby or never and you must make up your mind
Now baby or never it ain't no fault of mine

4.Laziest Girl In Town
Lyrics:C.Porter
Music:C.Porter
I've a beau, his name is Jim,
He loves me and I love him,
But he tells me I'm too prim,
That means I'm too slow.
I let him rant, I let him rave,
I let him muss my permanent wave,
But when he says 'Let's misbehave,'
My reply is 'No!'
It's not 'cause I wouldn't,
It's not 'cause I shouldn't,
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't,
It's simply becasue I'm the laziest gal in town.
My poor heart is achin'
To bring home the bacon,
And if I'm alone and forsaken,
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.
Though I'm more than willing to learn
How these gals get money to burn,
Ev'ry proposition I turn down,
'Way down,
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't,
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't,
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.
Nothing ever worries me,
Nothing ever hurries me.
I take pleasure leisurely
Even when I kiss.
But when I kiss they want some more,
And wanting more becomes a bore,
It isn't worth the fighting for,
So I tell them this:
It's not 'cause I wouldn't,
It's not 'cause I shouldn't,
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't,
It's simply becasue I'm the laziest gal in town.
My poor heart is achin'
To bring home the bacon,
And if I'm alone and forsaken,
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.
Though I'm more than willing to learn
How these gals get money to burn,
Ev'ry proposition I turn down,
'Way down,
It's not 'cause I wouldn't
It's not 'cause I shouldn't,
And, Lord knows, it's not 'cause I couldn't,
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.
5.It Had To Be You
Lyrics:G.Kahn/I.Jones
Music:G.Kahn/I.Jones
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
somebody who
could make me be true,
could make me be blue,
and even be glad just to be sad thinkin?of you.
Some others Ie seen might never been mean
might never been cross or tried to be boss,
but they wouldn do.
'Cause nobody else gave me that thrill.
With all your faults, I love you still.
It had to be you,
had to be you,
had to be you
6.Down With Love
Lyrics:H.Arlen/E.Y.Harburg
Music:H.Arlen/E.Y.Harburg
Down with love
With flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love
The root of all midnight blues
Down with things
That give you that well-known pain
Take that moon
And wrap it in cellophane
Down with love let's liquidate
All it's friends
Like moon, June, roses
And rainbow's ends
Down with songs
That mourn about night and day
Down with love
Take it away, away
Take it away, take it away
Give it back to the birds
To bees and the Viennese
Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs, down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Take it away, take it away
Give it back to the birds
To bees and the Viennese
Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs, down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Down down down
Down with love
7.What Is This Thing Called Love
Lyrics:C.Porter
Music:C.Porter
I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in thorugh my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
/: I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?
8.Tea For Two
Lyrics:V.Youmans/I.Caesar
Music:V.Youmans/I.Caesar
I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own
Darling this place is a lover's oasis
Where life's weary chase is unknown
Far from the cry in the city
Where flowers pretty caress the streams
Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in
Don't let it abide in my dreams
Picture me upon your knee
Just tea for two and two for tea
Just you for me and me for you, alone
Nobody near us
To see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone
Day will break and you'll awake
And I will bake a sugar cake
For you to take
For all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A girl for you and a boy for me
Can't you see how happy we would be
We will raise a family
A girl for you and a boy for me
Can't you see how happy we would be
9.The Lonely One
Lyrics:L.Hambro/R.Heller
Music:L.Hambro/R.Heller
There is a very quiet girl
They call the lonely one
The sorrow in her face
And sadness in her eyes
And if you look into the heart
Within the lonely one
You'll find it's been deceived
That broken was in lies
Is it good to have cried?
With the longing to hide
On your heartaches and fears
Is it wise to be cold, to struggle, to hold back with tears
If you could only see the girl
They call the lonely one
You'd know that since you're gone
The lonely one is me
Is it good to have cried?
With the longing to hide
On your heartaches and fears
Is it wise to be cold, to struggle, to hold back with tears
If you could only see the girl
They call the lonely one
You'd know that since you're gone
The lonely one is me
10.I Get A Kick Out Of You
Lyrics:C.Porter
Music:C.Porter
My story is much to sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know in this case
When I'm out in a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Then 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 like the bop-type refrain
I'm sure that if, I heard even one riff
That would bore me terrifically too
But 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 don't adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gay in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
Yet I get a kick out of you
11.Just For A Thrill
Lyrics:L.H.Armstrong/D.Raye
Music:L.H.Armstrong/D.Raye
Just for a thrill
You turned the sunshine to rain
Just for a thrill
You filled my heart with pain
To me you were my pride and joy
To you, I was mere little toy
A plaything, that you could toss around at will
Just for a thrill
You made my life one sad song
Just for a thrill
You just led me along
Although you are gone and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
'Cause you made my heart stand still
It was just for a thrill
You made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill
Just for a thrill
You made my life one sad song
Just for a thrill
You just left me alone
Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
It was just for a thrill
Yes you made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill
12.Night And Day
Lyrics:C.Porter
Music:C.Porter
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drop of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
There's no matter darling where you are
I think of you night and day,
Night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you night and day,
Night and day Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Til you let me spend my life
making love to you
Day and night, night and day
