Spreadin' Rhythm Around
Ted Koehler Jimmy McHugh
Music everywhere, feet are pattin'
Puttin' tempo in old Manhattan
Everybody is out high hattin'
Spreadin' rhythm around
Everywhere you go trumpets are blarin'
Drums and saxophones rip and tearin'
Everybody you meet is rarin'
Spreadin' rhythm around
Up in Harlem in every flat they give it that zing
Which according to one and all is what they call swing
Those who can't afford silk and satin
Dance with Gigolos who are Latin
Come from Yonkers, the Bronx and Staten
Spreadin' rhythm around

Here It Is Tomorrow Again
P. gibson / roy ringwald
See the house lights start to blink
And the sky is turnin pink
Gosh what will the neighbors think
Cause here it is tomorrow again
We could share a perfect day
But weve danced the night away
Guess youd better hit the hay
Cause here it is tomorrow again
We saw the sunset in the sky
Soon well see the dawn
Mother natures about to rise
And father time is marchin on
Dit you hear my daddy yell?
Weve been leaning on the bell
Kiss me quick and run like sixty
Because here it is tommorrow again

Now They Call It Swing
W. hirsch / vaughn deleath / n. cloutier / l. handman
Once they called it ragtime
And it had its fling
Its the same old syncopation
Now they call it swing
Then they played it jazz time
To a buck-and-wing
Once again it sweeped the nation
Now they call it swing
When singers used to sing
They would go hot cha
But with this modern thing
Now they go dru-du du, dra-da-da
Rhythm has its seasons
Summer, fall and spring
But for seven silly reasons
Someone pulled the string
And they started dancing
Now they call it swing

No Good Man
Irene higginbotham / dan fisher / sammy gallop
No good man
Lovin all the no good things
Never treats me as he should
That aint no good
Hes always bringing me down
Hes no saint
Heaven knows thats what he aint
Spends his money foolishly
Not on me
Im the one who gets the run-around
I ought to hate him and yet I love him so
For I require
Love thats made of fire
And in his arms
I find
I always get that kind
No good man
Ever since the world began
There have been other fools like me

Easy Livin'
Leo Robin / Ralph Rainger
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There is nothing in life but you
I never regret the years that I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do whatever I do for you
For you maybe I'm a fool
But it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand
They just don't understand
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

They Say
Edward heyman / paul mann / stephan weiss
They say you have no lips
For a fool such as i
They say you just believe
In hello and goodbye
And they say that the one I admire
Isnt even remotely concerned
And that Ill go on playing with fire
Until I have learned
My heart has been burned
They say I shouldnt dream
Of your face in the moon
They say all of my dreams will be
Nightmares too soon
Let them talk
Let them think what they want to
If it makes them feel happy that way
I know Ill always love you
No matter what they say

April In My Heart
H. meinardi / hoagy carmichael
Theres snowflakes in the sky
And geese are flying high
But its april in my heart again
The devil got his due
Loves holiday is through
Love and I have made a happy start again
Through leaves lie on the ground
The world just turned around
It isnt fall at all you see
Its spring that I have found
Theres frost in central park
At five its almost dark
Whats the difference
When youve heard loves sweet amend
Theres snowflakes in the sky
And geese are flying high
But theres april in my heart again

Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orelans
Eddie DeLange / Loise Alter
Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans
I miss it, each night and day
The longer I stay away
Miss the moist covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds use to sing
And I like to see the lazy Mississippi
Are hurrying to spring
The Mardi Gras memories
Of creol tunes that fill the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And soon I'm wishing that I was there
Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans
And there is something more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

You Showed Me The Way
Ella fitzgerald / teddy mcrae / chick webb / green
You showed me the way
When I was someone in distress
A heart in search of happiness
You showed me the way
My sky was so gray
I never knew Id feel a thrill
I couldnt dream a dream until
You showed me the way
The moment you found me
The shadows around me
Just disappeard from view
The world became rosy
Each corner so cozy
Darling, all because of you
You showed me the way
And if Ive learned that love can be a paradise
For you and me
Heres all I can say
You showed me the way
