1.Daddy's Little Girl
Lyricist:Bobby Burke, Horace Gerlach
You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold
A precious gem is what you are
You're mommy's bright and shining star
You're the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree
You're the Easter Bunny to mommy and me
You're sugar, you're spice, you're everything nice
And you're daddy's little girl
You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold
A precious gem is what you are
You're mommy's bright and shining star
You're the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree
You're the Easter Bunny to mommy and me
You're sugar, you're spice, you're everything nice
And you're daddy's little girl
2.Across the Alley from the Alamo
Lyricist:Joe Greene
Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who sang a sort of Indian 'Hi-de-ho'
To the people passin' by
The pinto spent his time a-swishin' flies
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
On the people passin' by
One day, they went a-walkin'
Along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin'
Toot, toot, they never came back
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian 'Hi-de-ho'
To the people passin' by
Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto a-pony and a Navajo
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough
For the people passin' by
They thought that they would make some easy bucks
By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux
A pair of very conscientious clucks
To the people passin' by
Then they took this cheap vacation
Their shoes were polished bright
Though they never heard the whistle
Toot, toot, they're clear out of sight
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the starlight beams its tender glow
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough
For the people passin' by
One day, they went a-walkin'
Along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin'
Toot, toot, they never came back
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian 'Hi-de-ho'
To the people passin' by
Across the alley from the Alamo
3.Cab Driver
Cab driver drive by Mary's place,
I just wanna chance to see her face.
I hope God to meet her any place,
Cab driver drive by Mary's place.
Cab driver once more round the block,
Never mind the ticket or the clock.
I only wish we could have had a talk,
Cab driver once more round the block.
Cab driver once more down her street,
There's a little place we use to meet.
That's where I laid my future at her feet,
Cab driver once more down her street.
Cab driver take care by her door,
I just want to hold her in my arms once more.
And then maybe just like we were before,
Cab driver take care by her door.
Cab driver you better take me home,
I guess that I was meant to be alone.
I hope God gives me a lover of my own,
Cab driver you better take me home.
Cab driver you better take me home,
Cab driver you better take me home.

I'LL BE AROUND
The Mills Brothers

I'll be around,
No matter how
You treat me now
I'll be around from now on.
Your latest love
Can never last,
And when its past,
I'll be around when he's gone
Good-bye again,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Oh drop a line to say you 're feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
So I'll be around when he's gone.
Good-bye again,

5.I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm
Lyricist:Irving Berlin
The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
For I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
Oh, what do I care if icicles form?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So, I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form?
Ho, ho, ho, I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So, I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

Maybe I'll live a life of regret,
And maybe I'll give much more than I'll get

7.Paper Doll
Lyricist:J. Black
I'm gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
When I come home at night she will be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl
I guess I had a million dolls or more
I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er
I just quarreled with Sue, that's why I'm blue
She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do
I'll tell you boys, it's tough to be alone
And it's tough to love a doll that's not your own
I'm through with all of them, I'll never fall again
Say boy, whatcha gonna do?
I'm gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
When I come home at night she will be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl
8.The Glow Worm
Lyricist:J. Mercer, L.c. Robinson, P. Lincke
Shine little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer
Shine little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer
Lead us lest too far we wander
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder
Shine little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer
Hey, there don't get dimmer, dimmer
Light the path below, above
And lead us on to love
Glow little glow worm, fly of fire
Glow like an incandescent wire
Glow for the female of the species
Turn on the AC and the DC
This night could use a little brightnin'
Light up you little ol' bug of lightnin'
When you gotta glow, you gotta glow
Glow little glow worm, glow
Glow little glow worm, glow and glimmer
Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer
Thou aeronautical boll weevil
Illuminate yon woods primeval
See how the shadows deep and darken
You and your chick should get to sparkin'
I got a gal that I love so
Glow little glow worm, glow
Glow little glow worm, turn the key on
You are equipped with taillight neon
I don't know who you took a shine to
Or who you're out to make a sign to
I got a gal that I love so
Glow little glow worm, glow
Glow little glow worm, glow
Glow little glow worm, glow
Glow little glow worm, glow!
9.Till Then
Lyricist:Sol Marcus, Edward Seiler, Guy B. Wood
Till then, my darling, please wait for me
Till then, no matter when it will be
Some day, I know I'll be back again
Please wait, till then
Our dreams will live though we are apart
Our love, I know it'll keep in our hearts
Till then, when of the world will be free
Please wait for me
Although there are oceans we must cross
And mountains that we must climb
I know every gain must have a loss
So pray that our loss is nothing but time
Till then, let's dream of what there will be
Till then, we'll call on each memory
Till then, when I will hold you again
Please wait till then
Although there are oceans we must cross
And mountains that we must climb
I know every gain must have a loss
So pray that our loss is nothing but time
Till then, let's dream of what there will be
Till then, we'll call on each memory
Till then, when I will hold you again
Please wait till then
10.You Always Hurt the One You Love
Lyricist:Doris Fisher, Allan Roberts
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So if I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So if I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
Crush it, till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So if I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all
11.Here Lies Love
Lyricist:Ralph Rainger, Leo Robin
Night winds, cold & melancholy
Wail a blue from holly
Oh, my tragedy
Like a misery meant for only me
While I linger weary 'neath a willow tree
Right here our romance was started
Here again we parted
When I set you free
All my thoughts are jumbled
And everything is blurred
Oh, all the world has crumbled, shattered by a word
The end has come, my heart is numb
It was like a volt from the blue above
I can't believe it but you're gone, darling
And here lies love
The sky is dark and I hear a lark
He sounds as sad as a mournful dove
The dew appears like the tears of dawn
Darling, for here lies love
All my dreams lost beyond recall
Dreams of spring blessed within the fall
You gave lips, you gave arms, I gave all
I ought to cry, my eyes are dry
There's only one thing I'm conscious of
I only know that I can't go on
Darling, here lies love
The end has come and my heart is numb
It was like a volt from the blue above
I can't believe it but you're gone, darling
And here lies love
I only know that I can't go on
Darling, for here lies love
12.Dedicated To You
Lyricist:Sammy Cahn, Saul Chaplin, Hy Zaret
If I should write a book for you
That brought me fame and fortune too
That book would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
And if I should paint a picture too
That showed the loveliness of you
My art would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
To you because your love is the beacon
That lights up my way
To you because with you I know
A lifetime could be just one heavenly day
If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wondrous as you are
That star would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
To you because your love is a beacon
That lights up my way
To you because with you I know
A lifetime could be just one heavenly day
If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wondrous as you are
That star would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you

And listen, if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all, is my advice
We're parting, you go your way, I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a kiss
I hope that this brings lots of luck to you
Makes no difference how I carry on

But baby, I'm confused about you
You get me in a spin, oh, what a stew I'm in
'Cause I don't know enough about you
Jack-of-all-trades, master of none
And isn't it a shame?
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me
If you'd only play my game
You know I went to school and I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you
I know a little bit about a lot of things
But I don't know enough about you

You get me in a spin, oh, what a stew I'm in

Painted lips, painted eyes
Wearin' a bird of paradise
Well, it all seems wrong somehow
But you're nobody's sweetheart now
You're nobody's sweetheart now

You'd be out of place in your own home town

Wearin' a bird of paradise
Well, it all seems wrong somehow
But you're nobody's sweetheart now
27.Opus One
Lyricist:Larry Banks, Milton Bennett
Oh, baby, I'm a-rackin' my brain, to think of a name
To give to this tune, so Perry can croon
And maybe old Bing will give it a fling
And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing
The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that's the main thing, to make it complete
'Cause everyone's swingin' today
So we call it 'Opus One'
It's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey
It's 'Opus One'
It's got to swing, not sway, baby
If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned
And Ray Anthony could rock it for me
There's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out
Whenever you get near 'Opus One'
I'm rackin' my brain to think of a name
To give to this tune, so Perry can croon
And maybe old Bing will give it a fling
And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing
The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that's the main thing, to make it complete
'Cause everyone's swingin' today
So we call it 'Opus One'
It's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey
It's 'Opus One'
It's got to swing, not sway, baby
If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned
And Ray Anthony could rock it for me
No doubt out, it's 'Opus One'

All dobbin', shay
Fields of clover, down the Dover
Golden wedding day
Put on your old grey bonnet with the blue ribbons on it
And we'll hitch old dobbin to the shay
And through fields of clover

Grey bonnet, ribbons on it

Golden wedding day
Golden wedding day
Gonna go down on our golden wedding day
