Hello, young lovers whoever you are.
I hope your troubles are few.
All my good wishes go with you tonight.
I've been in love like you.
You, be brave, young lovers, and follow your star
Brave and faithful and true.
And cling very close to each other tonight.
I've been in love like you.
And I know how it feels to have wings on your heels.
And to fly down the street in a trance.
You fly down the street on a chance that you'll meet.
And you'll meet, not by chance.
Don't cry, young lovers, whatever you do.
Say don't cry because I'm alone.
All of my wishes go with you tonight.
I had a love of my own.
And I know how it feels to have wings on your heels.
And to fly down the street in a trance.
You fly down the street on a chance that you'll meet.
And you'll meet, not by chance.
Don't cry, young lovers, whatever you do.
Say don't cry because I'm alone.
All of my memories are happy tonight.
I've had a love of my own. Hallelujah
I've had a love of my own, like yours.
I have had a love of my own.

Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But, that was once upon a time
Very long ago.

Once upon a time
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars
And waiting for the dawn
But, that was once upon a time
Now the tree is gone.

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed
As though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young
And didn't have a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But, somehow once upon a time
Never comes again.

There are so many fabulous faraway places to see!
Such as Mexico, Sweden, Hawaii, Japan and Capri!
There are so many exciting & wonderful places!
Mountains and jungles, deserts and oases!
Pleasant as home is,
It isn't what Rome is!
So why stay there?
When there are so many fabulous faraway places to see!
Why should Spain and Tahiti and Rio
Just be only names to you and me?
I feel certain there are people
We'd be glad to know there!
So tell me why don't we get up and go there?
Go to those fabulous places where we long to be?
Like Bangkok & Hong Kong & Paris & Venice!
Tokyo & Cairo & Lisbon & London!
Wonderful fabulous places we're longing to see!

There are so many
Simply incredible places to see!
When I think of the warm Caribbean,
I see a new world for you and me!......
I'd give anything just to have one single day there!
And once we get there,
I know that we'll stay there!
Stay in those fabulous places
Where we long to be!
Like Bangkok, Hong Kong, Paris and Venice
Tokyo and Cairo and Lisbon and London
Siam! Sienna! Vienna! verona!
Java! Jamaica! Bombay! Barcelona!
Show me those fabulous places
We're longing to see!

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.

Hey, there, mister black man, can you hear me?
I don't want your diamonds or your game
I just wanna be someone known to you as me
I will bet my life you want the same.

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.

Seven hundred million are ya list'nin'?
Most of what you read is made of lies
But, speakin' one to one ain't it everybody's sun
To wake to in the mornin' when we rise?

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.

Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy?
If not, won't you drop this friend a line
Tell me if the man who is plowin' up your land
Has got the war machine upon his mind?

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.

Now, no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So, let's all build them shelves
Where they can fight among themselves
Leave the people be who love to sing.

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.

I say... let it fill the air...
Tellin' people everywhere...
We, the people, here don't want a war.

Off comes the makeup,
Off comes the clown's disguise
The curtain's falling, the music softly dies
But I hope you're smiling as your filing out the door
As they say in this biz that's all there is,
There isn't any more
We've shared our moment
And as the moment ends
I've got a funny feeling we're parting now as friends
Your cheers and laughter will linger after they've torn down these dusty walls
If I had this to do again
I would spend it with you again...
People say I was made for this
Nothing else would I trade for this and just think I get paid for this ..
Good night
Ladies and gentlemen and God love you

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on a high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing

It is far beyond the stars
It is near beyond the moon
But I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

And I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We're gonna kiss just as before
And happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye bye sailing...

I'll go my way by myself, this is the end of romance.
I'm gonna go my way by myself, love is only a dance.
I'll try to apply myself, teach my heart to sing.
Yeah you can bet 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;
There ain't nobody knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone.

When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours, all evening shadows bring
Such lonely lonely hours, with memories lingering
Just like faded flowers, life will never mean anything
When your lover has gone

Work it out

I'll face the unknown, I might even go out to make me a world of my own;
There ain't nobody not in this room no time never knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone.

Some of these days
You're gonna miss me, baby
Some of these days
You'll feel so lonely.

You're gonna miss my huggin'
You'll miss my kissin'
You may even miss me, baby
When I'm gone away.

You're gonna feel lonely
And want me only
'Cause you know, honey
You always got your way.

Say baby if you really want me, oh yeah
You know it's gonna grieve me
You're gonna miss your boney little daddy
'Cause one of these... YEAH!

Said some of these days (I'll do it, Sophie!)
You're gonna miss me honey
And I'm talkin' about da-a-ays
When you feel all blue.

You're gonna miss my huggin'
You're gonna miss my kissin'
You may even miss me, baby
When I'm long gone away...

I hope you feel lonely
And want me only
'Cause you know lover
Ya always had your way.

And if-a you-a leave me
You know it's gonna grie-ee-ee-ve me
You'll miss-a your brown eyed daddy (Grab it now!)
Some of these daaaaa-ays...

Whatever you've done it's all over
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.

Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.

It's fun to wander along a yesterday road
Trying so hard to retain
All of the wondrous and beautiful times that never can happen again.

So get yourself up off your past, friend
There's so much to rearrange
Tomorrow sits right next to never
Damned if what your feelin' isn't change.

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me,
Carrin' the pots I made,
Followin' behind me.

Save my love through loneliness,
Save my love through sorrow,
I'm given you my onliness,
Give your tomorrow.

If I worked my hands in wood,
Would you still love me?
Answer me babe, "Yes I would,
I'll put you above me."

If I were a miller, yeah
At a mill wheel grinding,
Would you miss your color box,
Little girl, your soft shoe shining

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Would you marry anyway?
Would you have my baby?

Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find.
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind.

Did you hear this poor little child was only nine years of age
When mother and Dad went away;
Still she brav-el-y worked
At the one thing she knew
To earn her few pennies a day.

She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear;
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers,
Fashions from Annie's despair.

With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum.
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb.

From makin' artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair.

They found little Annie all covered with ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears.

There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers.

No more artificial flowers;
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Those dumb-dumb flowers,
Fashioned from Annie's,
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's
Des-pa-a-a-air.

(Give her the real thing!)

I can only give ya love that lasts forever
And the promise to be near each time you call
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all... that's all.

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And a love who's burnin' light
Will warm the winter night.
That's all... that's all.

There are those I am sure who have told you
They would give you the world for a toy
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy.

If you're wonderin' what I'm askin' in return, dear
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and evermore
That's all... that's all.

Scat singing...

There are those I am sure who have told you

As long as I'm singin'
There's a bell
Up in my brain that's ringin'
Makin' a crazy ding dong.

And if this band don't desert us
Then there's nothin'
In the world can hurt us
Long as we're singin' our song.

Give me trumpets... legato
Put some saxes with 'em
Strings... pizzicato
Add some rhythm.

As long as we're singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as we're singin' our...
Long as we're singin' our...
Long as we're singin' our song.

Ummmm... makin' music
Is more to me than a pleasure
'cause me and music
We go together like notes in a measure.

As long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as I'm singin' my...
Long as I'm singin' my...
Long as I'm singin' my song.

Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy, lazy river in the new day sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, dream a dream of me.

You know, before your sister was born
This is what your mama did for a living
Music over the whole new world to me
No matter how bad I feel, no matter how sad or sick I am
I just touched these keys and,
Oh, like magic
I've always seemed to feel better
I've always known you had talent, Bobbie
This piano is for you
Charlie worked hard for it
??? so much
So you gotta make up for it later

How happy you can be
Up a lazy river with me

Throw away your troubles, dream a dream with me.

Up a lazy river with me

From the half way mark

To be a star, a big star
You gotta be talented obviously
You gotta be tenacious, have charisma
But most importantly, you gotta have it
A great, intangible, and you've got it all, Bobbie
You're gonna be bigger than Sinatra
??? mama, mama, mama

A-a-a, threre are blue skies up above
Forever long as we're in love,
We'll be up a lazy river,
Up a crazy lazy river,
Up a lazy river,
I ain't goin' your way,
Get out'a my way,
Up a lazy river with me...

Words by Johnny Mercer and Music by Henry Mancini

When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played

Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade

Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on

Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I always will
Best on the bill
Charade

Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on and on

Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I guess I always will
Best on the bill
Charade

Every night I hope and pray a dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms
Because I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you with a love, oh, so true?
And a hand that I can hold, to feel you near as I grow old?
Because I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Someday, I don't know how, I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how, she'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do, till all my lover's dreams come true
Because I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do, till all my lover's dreams come true
Because I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't you make me dream alone
No, no, I don't wanna dream alone
Come on, my darling, don't make me dream alone
Please don't make me dream alone...

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
But fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Let the thing swing
On the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Tell me, could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag's just a-hangin on down
Oh, that cement is there strictly for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, dear
After drawin' out, feel good, all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Come on, come on

Jenny Diver, ho, ho, ho, Sukey Tawdry
And Miss Lotte Lenya, good everning, Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms way on the right, babe
And now that Macky's back in olderly town

I said Jenny Diver, look out, Sukey Tawdry
Stay back, Lotte Lenya, move it over Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms way on the right, babe
And now that Macky's back in town
Look out, old Macky is back!!

Splish Splash, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright
Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor,
I wrapped the towel around me and I
Opened the door, and then I
Splish, Splash! I jumped back in the bath.
Well how was I to know there was a party going on?

They was a-splishin' and a-splashin',
Reelin with the feelin, movin' and a-groovin',
Rockin' and a-rollin', yeah! [Sax solo]

Bing bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancin' on my living room rug, yeah!
Flip flop, they was doin' the bop
All the teens had the dancin' bug
There was lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good Golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too!
A-well-a, Splish Splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin' shoes on

I was a-splishin' and a splashin'
I was a rollin' and a strollin', yeah
I was a-moving and a groovin
I was reelin' with the feelin'
We were a rollin' and a strollin'
Moving and a groovin
Splish Splash

I was a-splishin' and a splashin'...
I was a-splishin' and a splashin'...
