I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues
Harold arlen / ted koehler
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan inside
I gotta right to sit and cry
Down around the river
A certain man in this little town
Keeps draggin my poor heart around
All I see for me is misery
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan inside
I gotta right to sit and cry
Down around the river
A certain man in this little town
Soon that deep blue sea
Will be callin me
It must be love say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and cry
I gotta sit and sigh

They Cant Take That Away From Me
George and ira gershwin
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they cant take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they cant take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still Ill 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, no they cant take that away from me
No, they cant take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still Ill always, always keep the memory of

Aint Nobodys Business If I Do
Porter grainger / everett robbins
There aint nothing I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks dont criticize me
But Im going to do
Just as I want to anyway
And dont care just what people say
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
Aint nobodys business if I do
If I go to church on sunday
Then cabaret all day monday
Aint nobodys business if I do
If my man aint got no money
And I say take all mine, honey
Aint nobodys business if I do
If I give him my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle
Aint nobodys business if I do
But Id rather my man would hit me

Nice Work If You Can Get It
George and ira gershwin
The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isnt necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
Theres no guarantee that time wont erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boys meant
Fall in love you wont regret it
Thats the best work of all if you can get it
Holding hands at midnight
neath the starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Scrolling with the one girl
Sighing after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagen someone waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for more

Me, Myself And I
Irving gordon / allan roberts / alvin s. kaufman
Me, myself and i
Are all in love with you
We all think you're wonderful
We do
Me, myself and i
Have just one point of view
We're convinced
There's no one else like you
It can't be denied dear
You brought the sun to us
We'd be satisfied dear
If you, you'd belong to one of us
So if you pass me by
Three hearts will break in two
Cause me, myself and i
Are all in love with you
Me, myself and i
Are all in love with you
We all think you're wonderful

Weep No More
Gordon jenkins / tom adair
Im just about fed up
Ive finally had my fill
Of sitting around and crying in my beer
Ive drunk the bitter cup
Ive downed the bitter pill
While waiting for the silver lining to appear
Im going to stack my blues up
On the very highest shelf
Im going to pack my blues up
And get wise to myself
(weep no more, my baby)
(weep no more, my baby)
Weep no more
Im going to weep no more
Im putting an end to this lonesome game
(its such a lonesome game this crying)
Cry no tears, Im going to cry no tears
Each time that I happen to hear his name
(I hear his name)

That Ole Devil Called Love
Allan roberts / doris fisher
Its that ole devil called love game
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shock again
Put a ring in my eyes
Tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
Its that sly ole-sun-of-a-gun again
He keeps telling me that Im the lucky one again
But I still have that ring
Still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart
Suppose I didnt stay and ran away
Wouldnt play
That devil-what a potion he would brew
Hed follow me around
Build me up, tear me down
Till Id be so bewildered
I wouldnt know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well hell convince me

As Time Goes By
Herman hupfeld
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and lovesongs
Never out of date
Hearts filled with passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Its still the same old story
A fight for love and glory

My Old Flame
Arthur johnson / sam coslow
My old flame
I cant even think of his name
But its funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame
My old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
For I havent met a gent
So innocent or elegant
As my old flame
Ive met so many men
With fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Som who sent me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I cant even think of his name
But Ill never be the same

Everything I Have Is Yours
Burton lane / harold adamson
Everything I have is yours
You are part of me
Everything I have is yours
My destiny
I would gladly give the sun to you
If the sun were only mine
I would gladly give the earth to you
And the stars that shine
Everything that I posses
I offer you
Let my dream of happyness
Come through
Ill be happy just to spent my life
Waiting at your backend call
Everything I have is yours
My life
My all
Everything I have is yours
You are part of me
