Let Yourself Go[Celebrating Fred

Stacey Kent Let Yourself Go[Celebrating Fred Lyrics
1.Let Yourself Go

As you listen to the band don't you get a bubble?
As you listen to them play don't you get a glow?
If you step out on the floor
You'll forget your trouble
If you go into your dance
You'll forget your woe
So:

Come
Get together
Let the dance floor feel your leather
Step as lightly as a feather
Let yourself go

Come
Hit the timber
Loosen up and start to limber
Can't you hear that hot marimba?
Let yourself go

Let yourself go
Relax
And let yourself go
Relax
You've got yourself tied up in a knot
The night is cold but the music's hot
So

Come
Cuddle closer
Don't you dare to answer 'no, sir'
Butcher, banker, clerk and grocer
Let yourself go


2.They Can't Take That Away From Me

There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May i list a few

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can't take that away from me

We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But i'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No they can't take that away from me


3.I Won't Dance

Think of what you're losing
By constantly refusing to dance with me.
You'd be the idol of france with me!

And yet you stand there and shake
Your foolish head dramatic'lly.
While i wait here so ecstatic'lly
You just look and say emphatic'lly
Not this season! there's a reason!

I won't dance! don't ask me;
I won't dance! don't ask me;
I won't dance, madame, with you.
My heart won't let my feet do the things they should do!
You know what? you're lovely,

And so what? i'm lovely!

But oh! what you do to me!
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore;
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor!

When you dance you're charming and you're gentle!
'spec'lly when you do the 'continental'.

But this feeling isn't purely mental;
For heaven rest us, i'm not asbestos.
I won't dance! why should i!
I won't dance! how could i?
I won't dance! merci beau coup!
I know that music leads the way to romance:
So if i hold you in my arms i won't dance!


4.Isn't This A Lovely Day(To Be Caught In The Rain)

The weather is fright'ning
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way
But as far as i'm concerned, it's a lovely day
The turn in the weather
Will keep us together
So i can honestly say
That as far as i'm concerned, it's a lovely day
And everything's o.k.

Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain

Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke and oh!
What a break for me

I can see the sun up high
Tho' we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and i
Could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as i can be with you it's a lovely day


5.They All Laughed

The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from missouri never incensed me
Oh, i wasn't a bit concerned
For from hist'ry i had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned

They all laughed at christopher columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when edison recorded sound
They all laughed at wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly

They told marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said i was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune

They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?

They all laughed at rockefeller center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed at fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar

Ford and his lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, 'hello, goodbye.'
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie

They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got the last laugh now?'


6.He Loves And She Loves

He loves and she loves,
And they love
So why can't you love
And i love like too?
Birds love and bees love
And whispering trees love,
And that's what we both should do.

Oh i always knew someday you'd come along,
We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong,
Hear me he loves and she loves
And they love so won't you
Love me as i love you?

Oh i always knew someday you'd come along,
We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong,
Hear me he loves and she loves
And they love so won't you
Love me as i love you?
Won't you love me, as i love you?

Original version:
Verse 1:
Peter:
Now that i have found you
I must hang around you.
Though you may refuse me,
You will never lose me.
If the human race is
Full of happy faces -

Frankie:
It's because they all love
That wonderous thing they call love.

Refrain:
Peter:
He loves and she loves,
And they love
So why can't you love
And i love like too?

Frankie:
Birds love and bees love
And whispering trees love,
And that's what we both should do.

Peter:
Oh i always knew someday you'd come along,

Frankie:
We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong,
Hear me

Peter:
He loves and she loves
And they love so won't you
Love me as i love you?

Verse 2:
Frankie:
Feel a funny feeling
In my heart a-stealing;
If it's love, i'm for it.
Gosh! how i adore it!
You're the silver lining
For which i've been pining.

Peter:
Lonesome days are over;
From now on, we're in clover.

Repeat refrain.


7.Shall We Dance?

Drop that long face
Come on have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues?
If you want this old world on a string
Put on your dancing shoes
Stop wasting time
Put on your dancing shoes
Watch your spirits climb

Shall we dance
Or keep on mopin'?
Shall we dance
And walk on air?
Shall we give in to despair?
Or shall we dance with never a care?
Life is short
We're growing older
Don't you be an also-ran
You'd better dance, little lady
Dance, little man
Dance whenever you can.


8.One For My Baby(And One More For The Road)

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up joe, i got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it, but buddy i'm a kind of poet
And i've got a lot of things i'd like to say
And if i'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away
Well that's how it goes, and joe i know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that i found, it's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road


9.'s Wonderful

Lyrics:ira gershwin
music:george gershwin

Don't mind telling you, in my humble fash
That you thrill me through, with a tender pash,
When you said you care, 'magine my emoshe

You made all other men seem blah
Just you alone filled me with ahhhhhhhh......

You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous!
Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous,
That you should care for me!

You should care for me.

My dear, it's four leaved clover time,
From now on my heart's working overtime,
's exceptional, 's no bagatelle,
That you should care for...
That you should care for...
That you should care for me.......

Original version:
Verse 1:
Peter:
Life has just begun:
Jack has found his jill.
Don't know what you've done,
But i'm all-a-thrill.
How can words express
Your divine appeal?
You could never guess
All the love i feel.
From now on, lady, i insist,
For me no other grls exist.

Refrain 1:
's wonderful, 's marvellous
You should care for me!

Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous,
That you should care for me!
My dear it's four-leaf clover time;
From now on my heart's working overtime.
Oh, 's wonderful! 's marvellous
That you should care for me!


10.A Fine Romance

Lyrics:dorothy fields
music:jerome kern

A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance

A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We two should be like clams in a dish of chowder
But we just fizz like parts of a seidlitz powder (*)
Yes, a fine romance, with no glitches
A fine romance, with no bitches
You're just as hard to land as the 'isle de france'
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance

A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, and i'll take jello
You're calmer than the seals
In the arctic ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
I've never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance

Yes, a fine romance, my dear, duchess
Two old fogeys, who need crutches
True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has
But we don't have the thrills that the march of time has,
ba-ba-da-day
A fine romance, my good woman
My strong, age in the wood, woman
You never give the orchids i sent a glance
No, you like cactus plants, ha ha
This is a fine romance

A fine romance, my dear duchess
Two old fogeys, who need crutches

True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has
You know louis, we don't have half the thrills that the march of
time has,

You telling me; fine romance, my very good woman
My strong, aged in the wood, woman
You never give the orchids i sent a glance

No i prefer cactus plants

This is a fine romance!


11.I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan

Words:howard dietz
music:arthur schwartz

I guess i'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began

Before i knew where i was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when i got there
All that i could get was the air

My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl i'd found

Before i knew where i was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when i got there
All that i could get was the air

My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl
The one girl i'd found


12.I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket

Written:irving berlin

I've been a roaming romeo
My juliets have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything i've got on you

I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through

I've got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey
And i've decided
Love divided
In two
Won't do

So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything i've got on you

I've been a roaming juliet
My romeos have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything i've got on you

I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through

I've tried to love more than one
Finding it just can't be done
Honey
There's one i lie to
When i try to
Be true
To two

So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything i've got on you


13.By Myself

(a. schwartz - h. dietz)

The party's over, the game is ended,
The dreams i dreamed went up in smoke.
They didn't pan out as i had intended;
I should know how to take a joke.

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 to sing.
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing,
I'll face the unknown, 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.
Grey clouds in sky above have put a blot on my fun.
I'll try to fly high above for a place in the sun.
I'll face the unknown, i'll build a world of my own;
No one knows better than i, myself, i'm by myself alone.
