You Go To My Head
Haven gillespie / j. fred coots
You go to my head
You linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round
In my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought
To my plea, casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself
Get ahold of yourself
Cant you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile
That makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes

Comes Love
Lew brown /sammy stept / charles tobias
Comes rain, put your rubber on your feed
Comes a snow, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a fire, you know what to do
Blow a tyre, buy another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done
Dont try hiding, cause there isnt any use
You start sliding when youre heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a heatwave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes the ...., you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes the measels...
Comes love, nothing can be done
That all brother, if youve ever bin in love
That all brother, you know where Im speaking of
Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake

Baby Get Lost
Leonard feather
Well good morning baby welcome back to town
Howd, fine papa, welcome back to town
Youre doing so much travelling never know
When youll be around
Youre a fine and mellow fellow
But youre stubborn as a mule
You love me like an angel
But you treat me like a fool
Two-faced daddy dont hand me no doublecross
Youll see any time Im ready
I can tell you baby get lost
Youre cheating on the outside
Doing anything you choose
You better come back on the inside
cause you got too much to lose
Dont want no trouble Ive got to be the boss
And if you cant play it my way
Well now baby get lost
I try to stop your cheating

Youre Just A No Account
S. cahn / s. chaplin
Youre just a no account
You never will amount to nothin at all
When there is work to do and someone yells for you
You dont hear them call
The good lord set aside his sundays
For folks to rest
More that one days rest is wrong
You start restin sunday and rest so hard
Youre tired the whole week long
Youre just a no account
You never will amount to nothin at all
I just cant figure how each time you milk the cow
The tit gets so small
We got machines to do your work for you
But you wont press the button on the wall
Youre just a no account
You never will amount to nothin at all
Youre just a no account
You never will amount to nothinal all

I Love My Man
Billie holiday
I love my man
On my life i say i don't
I love my man
On my life i say i don't
But i'll quit my man
On my life i say i won't
I've been your slave baby
Ever since i've been your way
I've been your slave
Ever since i've been your faith
But before i be your dog
I'll see you in your grave
My man wouldn't give me no breakfast
Wouldn't give me no dinner
Squacked about my supper
Then he put me outdoors
Heaven erred to late
A matchbox on my clothes
I didn't have so many

One For My Baby
Johnny mercer / harold arlen
It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up joe, i got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it, but buddy i'm a kind of poet
And i've got a lot of things i'd like to say
And if i'm gloomy, please listen to me

Ill Be Seeing You
Sammy fain / irving kahal
Ill be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carrousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well
Ill be seeing you
In every lovely summers day
In everything thats light and gay
Ill always think of you that way
Ill find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
Ill be looking at the moon
But Ill be seeing you
Ill be seeing you
In every lovely summers day

Do Your Duty
Wesley sox wilson
If I call three times a day
Come and drive my blues away
When you come, be ready to play
Do your duty
If you want to have some love
Give your baby your last buck
Dont come quackin like a duck
Do your duty
I heard you say you didnt love me
Numb as mrs. brown
I dont believe a word they say
Shes the lyinest woman in town
When I need attention at home
Ill call you on the phone
Come yourself, dont send your friend jones
Do your duty
If my radiator get too hot
Cool it off in lots of spots
Give me all the service youve got

Everything Happens To Me
Matt dennis / tom adair
Black cats creep across my path
Until Im almost mad
I must have roused the devils wrath
cause all my luck is bad
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess Ill go thru life kust catchin colds and missin trains
Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
Ive had the measels and the mumps
And every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess Im just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me
At first my heart thot you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But know I just cant fool this head that thinks for me
Ive mortgaged all my castlesin the air
Ive telegraphed and phoned

I Get Along Without You Very Well
Hoagy carmichael
I get along without you very well
Of course, I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves
Then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course, I do
But I get along without you very well
Ive forgotten you just like I should
Of course, I have
Except to hear your name
Or someones laugh that is the same
But Ive forgotten you just like I should
What a guy
What a fool am i
To think my breaking heart
Could kid the moon
Whats in store
Should I fall once more
