Sweet Georgia Brown

No gal made has got a shade
On sweet Georgia brown,
Two left feet, but oh, so neat,
Has sweet Georgia brown!
They all sigh, and want to die,
For sweet Georgia brown!
I'll tell you just why,
You know I don't lie, not much:
It's been said she knocks 'em dead,
When she lands in town!
Since she came, why it's a shame,
How she cools them down!
Fellas she can't get
Are fellas she ain't met!
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
Sweet Georgia Brown

Tennessee Waltz

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

What is this thing called love
This funny thing called love
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
Thats why I ask the lord in heaven above
What is this thing called love?

Honeysuckle Rose

Ev'ry honeybee.... fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
When you're passin' by....flowers drop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
Don't buy sugar....you just have to touch my cup
you're my sugar....it's so sweet when you stir it up
When I'm taking sips...from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection.....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose.
On the avenue... People look at you
And I know just what they do
I don't blame'em goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose

Love for sale

Love for sale,
Appetising young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,
Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish way,
I know every type of love
Better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love,
I've been through the mill of love;
Old love, new love
Every love but true love
Love for sale.
Appetising young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares.
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale.

Skylark
Have you anything to say to me
Won't you tell me where my love can be
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed
Skylark
Have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a-journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane
And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music of the night
Wonderful music, faint as a will o' the wisp
Crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon
Skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there
Skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there

Boogie Blues

Don't the moon look lonesome shinin' through the trees,
Don't the moon look lonesome shinin' through the trees,
Don't your arms look lonesome when your baby packs up to leave!
Then I'm goin'up on the mountain to call that baby of mine,
Said I'm goin'up on the mountain to call that baby of mine,
But somethin' tells me he's not comin' back this time!
Would like to go to the country, can't take you!
We're goin'up to the country, can't take you!
Nothin' up there a man like you could do!
He's got a face like a fish, shape like a frog,
When he loves me I holler, "Ooh, hot dog!";
Love that man better than I do myself,
But I'm all alone, all alone on the shelf!
Do you hear the drummer boogin'!

I want a grown up man
01:50
|
|||
|
I want me a grown up man to sing to,
I want me a grown up man to cling to!
I guess I've just had enough
Of all this puppy love stuff,
Wanna grown up man!
I want me a grown up man who will please me,
I'm tired of all the ones who tease me!
I wanna sigh till I'm weak,
Don't wanna kiss on the cheek,
Wanna grown up man!
Then I'll just mature Cary Grant's allure
on the theme of my glamorous dream
I've got to get away from this adolescent label,
I'm ready, willing, but not quite Grable!
I don't want romance with Mickey Rooney,
Or any of the kids that ever knew me!
But I'll still take what I can,
'Cause somebody else wants a grown up man;
You know who!
I know who!
Our Uncle Sam!

Just one of those things
02:48
|
|||
|
It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

Angel eyes
06:19
|
|||
|
Try to think that love's not around
But it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laughs and the jokes are on me
Pardon me but I got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Got to find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear

Tea for two
03:53
|
|||
|
Picture me upon your knee,
Tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you
And you for me 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, dear;
Dawn will break and you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake,
For me to take
For all the boys to see.
We will raise a family,
A boy for you, a girl for me.
Oh, can't you see
How happy we're gonna be?
Can't you see how happy we could be?
