I Just Cant See For Lookin
(robinson, stamford)
Maybe I talk too much,
Maybe Ive lost m touch.
I guess I dont know whats cookin
cause I just cant see for lookin.
Other boys have their chicks,
Two, three, four, five or six.
I dont seem to get a bookin
cause I just cant see for lookin.
Im kinda crazy,
Like a daisy
Up that well known tree, poor me.
Im sittin, hopin,
Horoscopin
Wont some sista take a chance with me?
Ive been around the town,
Everyone brings me down.
I give up hope, Im just a dope.
There aint no gals for hookin,
I just cant see for lookin.

I Keep Goin Back To Joes
(fisher/segal)
I keep goin back to joes
To that table in the corner,
Sippin wine and staring at the door.
Our old waiter knows were through,
Still he sets a place for you
Everything the way it was before.
I keep goin back to joes,
But the man who plays piano
Never plays your favorite melody.
Joe keeps busy at the bar,
Never asks me where you are.
He was there when you walked out on me.
Now I pray youll walk back in,
And youll say what fools weve been,
And well celebrate a happy new beginning.
Chances are youll never show,
But youll know just where to find me
Every night until its time to close.
Just in case you miss me, too,

Im A Shy Guy
(nathaniel cole)
Im just a shy guy,
My, Im a fraid-to-try guy
No lie.
Theres a gal that I idolize
But I just cant seem to hypnotize.
And when she pets me,
You betcha, it gets me.
And everytime I hold her hand,
Im just too shy to say the things I plan.
Everytime shes close to me,
My heart is filled with ecstasy,
And like a dope, I let the chance slip by.
There, I should have told her then
But all I did was sit and grin,
And I ended up so mad that I could cry.
cause Im a shy guy
Wish I was a sly guy
Then I could say, baby, baby, I love you
Just like those guys in moving pictures all do.

Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me
(edward duke ellington, bob russell)
Do nothing till you hear from me,
Pay no attention to whats said.
Why people tear the seams of anyones dreams
Is over my head.
Do nothing till you hear from me,
At least consider our romance.
If you should take the words of others youve heard,
I havent a chance.
True, Ive been seen with someone new,
But does that mean that Ive been untrue?
When were apart,
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you.
Some kiss may cloud my memories,
And other arms may hold a thrill,
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me--
And you never will.
~interlude~
Some kiss may cloud my memories,

Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some Mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although its been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you...
*music* {10 stanzas}
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92

Someone To Tell It To
(van heusen, cahn, fuller)
What good is a dream,
A plan or a scheme,
The rainbow that you pursue?
Its everything... and its nothing
Without someone to tell it to.
How eager you are
To get to that star,
But after the journeys through,
Youre only a lonely dreamer
Without someone to tell it to.
Therell be blue days,
Hard to get through days,
Days when youll just want to die.
Soon youre older,
And the worlds colder,
When theres no shoulder to cry on.
Castles in air
Are empty and bare
With no one to share the view.

Ain't Misbehavin'
No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain
The one I love
I'm through with flirtin'
It's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you
Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don't go nowhere
What do I care
Your kisses
Are worth waiting for
Believe me
I don't stay out late

Time And The River
Time and the river
Will bring my love to me
If I must, Ill wait forever
By the river that took her to the sea.
Here by the river
We loved, we laughed, we cried
But with time, my love, my darling,
Left my arms and was gone with the tides.
*How long Ive been lonely, star of love; shine bright.
I need her, oh, lead her to my arms tonight.
Time and the river,
How swiftly they go by.
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)
*How long Ive been lonely, star of love; shine bright.
I need her, oh, lead her to my arms tonight.

How swiftly they go by.

If You Cant Smile & Say Yes
(louis jordan, timmie rodgers)
Knock me a kiss, youll never miss
When Im ready to go.
But if you cant smile and say yes,
Please dont cry and say no!
Squeeze me a squoze in these fine clothes,
Mmmm...i love you so.
But if you cant smile and say yes,
Please dont cry and say no!
When I ask for a date, the answer is no.
You dont know what youre saying.
Dont you know the wars on,
Everything is rationed,
How bout that jive, keep me alive?
Baby, let bygones be bygones,
cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you cant smile and say yes,
Please dont cry and say no!
