Nat King Cole Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.The Frim Fram Sauce

(joe ricardel, redd evans)

I don't want french fried potatoes,
Red ripe tomatoes,
I'm never satisfied.
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.

I don't want pork chops and bacon,
That won't awaken
My appetite inside.
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.

A fella really got to eat
And a fella should eat right.
Five will get you ten
I'm gonna feed myself right tonight.

I don't want fish cakes and rye bread,
You heard what i said.
Waiter, please serve mine fried
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.

~interlude~

A fella really got to eat
And a fella should eat right.
Five will get you ten
I'm gonna feed myself right tonight.

I don't want fish cakes and rye bread,
You heard what i said.
Waiter, please serve mine fried
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.

(now if you don't have it, just bring me a check for the water!)


2.The Christmas Song(Merry Christmas To You)

Nat king cole
Written:mel torme and robert walls

- (#3-1946)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that santa's on his way -
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And ev'rymother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so i'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said many times,
Many ways: 'merry christmas to you'.
(repeat) (from 9th line)


3.The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot

(connor/carr/leach)

He's the little boy that santa claus forgot,
And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot.

He sent a note to santa
For some soldiers and a drum,
It broke his little heart
When he found santa hadn't come.

In the street he envies all those lucky boys,
Then wanders home to last year's broken toys.
I'm so sorry for that laddie,
He hasn't got a daddy,
The little boy that santa claus forgot.

Spoken:
(you know, christmas comes but once a year for every girl and
boy,
The laughter and the joy they find in each brand new toy.
I'll tell you of a little boy that lives across the way...
This little fella's christmas is just another day.
He's the little boy that santa claus forgot,
And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot.)

In the street he envies all those lucky boys,
Then wanders home to last year's broken toys.
I'm so sorry for that laddie,
He hasn't got a daddy,
The little boy that santa claus forgot.

Each time i look at you is like the first time
Each time you're near me the thrill is new
And there is nothing that i wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight of you for

The more i see you, the more i want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh i become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much i love you?
The more i see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try


I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

-introduced by judy holliday in her last film 'bells are
ringing' (1956), also starring
-dean martin and jean stapleton -charted by doris day at # 63 in

The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid

The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend


The party's over

It's time to call it a day

Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend

It's all over, my friend


6.The Rules Of The Road

(cy coleman, carolyn leigh)

So these are the ropes,
The tricks of the trade,
The rules of the road.

You're one of the dopes
For whom they were made,
The rules of the road.

You follow that kiss and recklessly miss
A bend of the road,
Then suddenly this--
The end of the road.

So love is a hoax,
A glittering stream
Of little white lies.
But these are the jokes,
And what if they bring
The tears to your eyes?

Well, love often shows a funny return.
The brighter it glows,
The longer you burn.
And lord only knows
Love has little concern for the fools of the road.

But that's how it goes,
You live and you learn,
The rules of the road.

But that's how it goes,
You live and you learn,
The rules of the road.

And everyone knows that that's how it goes,
The rules of the road.


7.The Sand And The Sea

-artist:nat king cole
-peak billboard position # 23 in 1955
-words and music by hal hester and barry parker

If i find peace of mind in the sand and the sea
There's a hope in my heart that you'll soon be with me
There's a prayer that i share with the sand and the sea
And it cries 'come to me, come to me.'

As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore
You are here in my arms for a moment or more
Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea
And it cries 'come to me, come to me.'

But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea
As long as there's time i'll wait hopefully
As long as there's heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me

But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea
As long as there's time i'll wait hopefully
As long as there's heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me

-sung by doris day in the 1950 film 'man with a horn'

The very thought of you and i forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till i'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love


The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till i'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love


9.There Goes My Heart

-artist:nat king cole
-words and music by benny davis and abner silver
-charted at # 19 in 1958 by joni james

There goes my heart, there goes the one i love
There goes the girl i wasn't worthy of
There goes my happiness, it couldn't be
There goes somebody else in place of me

Goodbye romance, it couldn't last somehow
I had my chance but it's all over now
I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am i


I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am i


10.There Will Never Be Another You

(harry warren, mack gordon)

This is our last dance together,
Tonight soon will be long ago.
And in our moment of parting,
This is all i want you to know...

There will be many other nights like this,
And i'll be standing here with someone new.
There will be other songs to sing,
Another fall...another spring...
But there will never be another you.

There will be other lips that i may kiss,
But they won't thrill me,
Like yours used to do.
Yes, i may dream a million dreams,
But how can they come true,
If there will never, ever be another you?

~interlude~

Yes, i may dream a million dreams,
But how can they come true,
If there will never, ever be...
Another you?


11.There's A Lull In My Life

(m. gordon, h. revel)

Oh...there's a lull in my life.
It's just a void, an empty space,
When you are not in my embrace.

Oh...there's a lull in my life.
The moment that you go away,
There is no night, there is no day.

The clock stops ticking,
The world stops turning.
Everything stops
But that flame in my heart
That keeps burning...burning...

Oh...there's a lull in my life.
No matter i may pretend,
I know that you alone can end
The ache in my heart,
The call of my arms...
The lull in my life.


12.These Foolish Things(Remind Me Of You)

(strachey/marvell/ link)

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,
An airline ticket to romantic places,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.

A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,
A fairground's painted swings...
These foolish things remind me of you.

You came, you saw,
You conquered me.
When you did that to me,
I knew somehow this had to be.

The winds of march that made my heart a dancer,
A telephone that rings,
And who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings...
These foolish things remind me of you.

The first daffodil and long excited cables,
And candle lights on little corner tables,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.

The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
The 'ile-de-france' with all the gulls around it,
The beauty that is spring's...
These foolish things remind me of you.

How strange, how sweet
To find you still,
These things are dear to me,
They seem to bring you near to me.

The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,
Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations.
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you...

These foolish things remind me of you.


13.This Can't Be Love

As recorded by nat king cole, who didn't make the top 100
Words by lorenz hart and music by richard rogers and sung in the
broadway
Musical 'the boys from syracuse' by eddie albert and marcy
westcott
A # 6 hit for horace heidt in 1938
A # 2 hit for benny goodman in 1939

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 skies.

My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.

This can't be love, because i feel so well,
But still i love to look in your eyes.

(instrumental interlude)

My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.

This can't be love, because i feel so well,
But still i love to look in your eyes.
Still i love to look in your eyes.


14.Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer

-artist:nat king cole
-peak billboard position # 6 in 1963
-words by charles tobias and music by hans carste

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies
Then lock the house up, now you're set
And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis
As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
You'll wish that summer could always be here

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Don't hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in
Or some romantic moon it seems
Right from the moment that those lovers start arrivin'
You'll see more kissin' in the cars than on the screen

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
You'll wish that summer could always be here

You'll wish that summer could always be here
You'll wish that summer could always be here


15.Thou Swell

(words by lorenz hart, music by richard rodgers)
This lyrics are like performed by natalie cole

Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty? wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me
Hear me holler, i choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee

I'd feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen i'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of, not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand


16.To Whom It May Concern

(nathaniel cole, charlotte hawkins)

To whom it may concern,
You've found another love, i know
To whom it may concern,
My heart won't ever let you go.

You tore my heart apart
When you found somebody new,
But you found out that your heart
Could be broken, too.

So to whom it may concern,
You've learned that heartache has no pride,
Pretending unconcerned won't stop the tears
You try to hide.

And when you're all alone
With just a memory,
That's when i'll bet you'll learn
The one who's most concerned is me.

~interlude~

And when you're all alone
With just a memory,
That's when i'll bet you'll learn
The one who's most concerned
...is me.

They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of

And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all


And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that i am unforgettable too


Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that i am unforgettable too

Gee, it's great after bein' out late
Walkin' my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walkin' my baby back home

We go 'long harmonizing a song
Or i'm recitin' a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Walkin' my baby back home

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her head on my chest
We start in to pet and that's when i get
Her talcum all over my vest

After i kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
Once kiss then i continue again
Walkin' my baby back home


She's 'fraid of the dark so i have to park
Outside of her door till it's light
She says if i try to kiss her she'll cry
I dry her tears all through the night

Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
Walkin' my baby
Talkin' my baby
Lovin' my baby
I don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby back home


20.Wee Baby Blues

(pete johnson, joe turner)

It was early one monday mornin',
And i was on my way to school.
It was early one monday mornin',
When i was on my way to school.
That was the mornin'
When i broke my mother's rule.

I've been in love with you, baby,
Before i learned to call your name.
I've been in love with you, baby,
Before i learned to call your name.
Now you're in love with someone else
I know that's gonna drive me insane!

~interlude~

Ooh wee baby,
You sure look good to me.
Ooh wee baby,
You sure look good to me.
Please tell me, pretty mama
Who can your great new lover be?


21.What'll I Do

(irving berlin)

What'll i do when you
Are far away
And i'm so blue,
What'll i do?

What'll i do when i
Am wondering who
Is kissing you,
What'll i do?

What'll i do with just
A photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When i'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll i do?

~interlude~

When i'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll i do?


22.When I Fall In Love

-
artist:nat king cole (whose recording, if released
As a single, did not chart)
- doris day's version hit #20 in 1952 and
The lettermen's went to # 7 in 1962
- words and music by edward heyman and victor young

When i fall in love it will be forever
Or i'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When i give my heart it will be completely
Or i'll never give my heart
And the moment i can feel that you feel that way too
Is when i fall in love with you.


And the moment i can feel that you feel that way too
Is when i fall in love with you.


23.Where Can I Go Without You?

(peggy lee, victor young)

I went to londontown
To clear up my mind,
Then on to paris
For the fun i couldn't find.
I found i couldn't leave my memories behind.
Where can i go without you?

Tried seeing singapore,
But that wouldn't do.
Went to vienna,
But i found you there, too.
Even in switzerland, your memory came through.
Where can i go without you?

I wanted travel, i wanted romance,
I chased that rainbow across the sea.
I'm tired of faces, and quaint old places
If you can't be there with me.

Back on the boat again
And farewell to france,
Farewell to londontown,
They haven't a chance.
I'll trade the sights i've seen
For just one loving glance.
Where can i go without you?

~interlude~

I'm tired of faces, and quaint old places
If you can't be there with me.

Back on the boat again
And farewell to france,
Farewell to londontown,
They haven't a chance.
I'll trade the sights i've seen
For just one loving glance.
Where can i go without you?


24.Where Did Everyone Go?

(jimmy van heusen, mack david)

It wasn't my intention to eavesdrop,
But there a guy sat, two stools away,
And you could tell the bartender knew him
And that he'd been there some other day.
And while i sipped my libation,
I overheard his conversation...

're---member
How i'd walk in,
What excitement there would be?
Never less than twenty people,
I had lots of friends, you see.

'i gave the party, i was the host.
Everyone loved me,
I was the most.

'champagne and plenty of it,
Real imported caviar,
And the hat check girl got fifty
Just for lighting my cigar.

'i kept 'em laughin', jokes by the yard.
Everyone loved me,
I was a card.

'and i had a girl,
A beautiful girl,
Her whole world, i think, consisted of mink
And diamonds and pearls.

'because she was mine,
I'd glitter and shine,
And life was a ball, and wasn't it all
So cozy 'n fine?

'but nothing lasts forever,
And the deepest well runs dry.
Just 'cause i've stopped rolling sevens
Doesn't mean i have to cry.

'i'll take that nightcap,
One more won't show.
And incidentally...maybe you know...
Where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?'

'where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?'


25.Who's Next In Line?

(clyde otis, rose marie mccoy)

You used me for a stepping stone
'til something better came along.
Now you've moved along
And left me behind.
I wonder, darling,
Who's next in line?

You left a trail of broken hearts
Torn into a million parts.
How many more
Will crumble like mine?
I wonder, darling,
Who's next in line?

Who will the next fool be?
Who will you kiss,
Like you kissed me?
Who will be next
To look in your eyes,
And believe all your beautiful lies?

I know, my love, the day will come
You'll pay for all,
All the wrong you've done.
You'll meet someone
Who isn't so blind.
My darling, your heart
Is next in line.

My darling, your heart
Maybe next in line.

My darling, your heart
Is next in line.

(repeat to fade)


26.Wild Is Love

(dorothy wayne, ray rauch)

(chorus sings:)
Wild is love!
Wild is love!
Wild-wild-wild
Is love!

(nat's spoken words:)
As a rule, man's a fool.
When it's hot, he wants it cool.
When it's cool, he wants it hot.
Always wanting
What is not.

(nat sings:)
Wild is love
Whenever two hearts meet,
Wild is love,
Bitter, but oh so sweet.

And i know
I must go
Wherever love takes me,
Whatever love makes me,
I will be!

Like a fire
Burning beyond control,
Wild is love
Deep in my heart and soul

And though wild as the wind
And wild as the rolling sea,
Nothing could ever be
As wild as love.

~interlude~

And i know
I must go
Wherever love takes me,
Whatever love makes me,
I will be!

~interlude~

And though wild is the wind
And wild is the rolling sea,
Nothing could ever be
As wild as love...
As wild as love...
As wild as love...
As wild is love!


27.With You On My Mind

(nathaniel cole, charlotte hawkins)

(with you on my mind,
With you on my mind)

With you on my mind,
How can i do anything?
With you on my mind,
All the time remembering.

Got an achin' heart
Thinkin' how it used to be.
With you on my mind,
When you gave your love to me.

I believed in your love (your love)
Thought i was your true love (true love),
But you found a new love (new love)
Who changed your mind (who changed your mind).

Now that you are gone,
I just seem to spend my time
Feelin' so forlorn,
With you always on my mind.

~interlude~

28.You Call It Madness(But I Call It Love)

(con conrad, gladys dubois, russ columbo, paul gregory)

I can't forget the night i met you,
That's all i'm dreaming of.
Now you call it madness,
But i call it love.

You made a promise to be faithful
By all the stars above.
And now you call it madness,
But i call it love.

My heart is beating,
It keeps repeating for you constantly.
You're all i'm needing
And so i'm pleading,
Please come back to me.

You made a plaything out of romance,
What were you thinking of?
Now you call it madness,
But i call it love.

~interlude~

You made a plaything out of romance,
And what were you thinking of?
For now you call it madness,
But i call it love.


29.You Stepped Out Of A Dream

(nacio h. brown, gus kahn)

You
Stepped out of a dream,
You are too wonderful
To be what you seem.

Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?

You
Stepped out of a cloud,
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd,
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart.
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart.

~interlude~

You
Stepped out of a cloud,
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd,
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart.
Out of a dream,
Safe into my heart...
Wa-dee-la-la
Out of a dream!
