All of me - why not take (come on get) all of me Can't you see - I'm no good (just a mess) without you Take my lips - I want to lose them Take (Get a piece of) my (these) arms - I'll never use them Your good-bye - left me with eyes that cry How can I - get along (ever make it) without you (You know) You took (got) the part - that once was (used to be) my heart So why not - why not take all of me

Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb You came along and everything started to hum Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine Wait till the warm-up is underway Wait till out lips have met Wait till you see that sunshine day You ain't seen nothin' yet The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine Come the day that your mine I'm gonna teach you to fly We've only tasted the wine We're gonna drain that cup dry Wait till your charms are right, for the arms to surround You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground Wait till you're locked in my embrace Wait till I hold you near Wait till you see that sunshine place There ain't nothin' like it here The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine

Chicago, Chicago that toddling town Chicago, Chicago I'll show you around - I love it Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago The town that Billy's Sunday could not shut down On State Street that great street I just want to say They do things that they don't do on Broadway - say They have the time the time of their life I say a man and he danced with his wife In Chicago, my home town
Writer(s): Cahn/Van Heusen
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away If you can use, some exotic booze There's a bar in far Bombay Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru In lama land, there's a one man band And he'll toot his flute for you Come fly with me, we'll float down in the blue Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied We'll just glide, starry eyed Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near You may here, angels cheer - because were together Weather wise it's such a lovely day You just say the words, and we'll beat the birds Down to Acapulco Bay It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away
Writer(s):
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you Come rain or come shine High as a mountain, deep as a river Come rain or come shine I guess when you met me It was just one of those things But don't you ever bet me 'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me Come rain or come shine We'll be happy together, unhappy together Now won't that be just fine The days may be cloudy or sunny We're in or out of the money But I'm with you always I'm with you rain or shine
Writer(s):
Don't worry 'bout me I'll get along Just you forget about me Be happy my love Just say that our little show is over And so the story ends Why not call it a day, the sensible way And we'll remain friends Look out for yourself Should be the rule Just give your heart and your love, to whom ever you love Don't you be a fool Baby why stop and cling, to some fading thing That used to be So if you can't forget Don't you worry 'bout me
Writer(s): Gershwin/Gershwin
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you Embrace me, you irreplaceable you Just one look at you My heart grew tipsy in you You and you alone Bring out the Gypsy in me I love all, the many charms about you Above all, I want my arms about you Don't you be a naughty baby Come to papa, come to papa do My sweet embraceable you
Writer(s): Howard
Fly me to the moon Let me sing among those stars Let me see what spring is like On Jupiter and Mars In other words, hold my hand In other words, baby kiss me Fill my heart with song Let me sing for ever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words, please be true In other words, I love you
Writer(s): Murden/Miller
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me Someone I've needed so long For once unafraid I can go where life leads me And somehow I know I'll be strong For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of Long before I knew Someone warm like you Could make my dreams come true For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before For once I've got someone I know won't desert me And I'm not alone anymore For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it" As long as I've got love I know I can make it For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

The torch I carry is handsome It's worth its heartache in ransom Now when that twilight steals I know how the lady in the harbor feels When I want rain, I get sunny weather I'm just as blue, blue as the sky Since love has gone, I can't get myself together Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy I've got to get a new alibi I hang around at home, and ask myself: "Where is she?" Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops Moving on a stream of dreams My little memories, those precious memories Remind me of our crazy schemes Then somebody says, just forget about her But I gave that treatment a try Strangely enough, I got along without her Then one day she passed me right by - oh well I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Writer(s): Cahn/Van Heusen
Next time your found, with your chin on the ground There a lot to be learned, so look around Just what makes that little old ant Think he'll move that rubber tree plant Anyone knows an ant, can't Move a rubber tree plant But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes So any time your gettin' low 'stead of lettin' go Just remember that ant Oops there goes another rubber tree plant When troubles call, and your back's to the wall There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall Once there was a silly old ram Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam No one could make that ram, scram He kept buttin' that dam 'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes So any time your feelin' bad 'stead of feelin' sad Just remember that ram Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam All problems just a toy balloon They'll be bursted soon They're just bound to go pop Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Writer(s): Porter
I've got you under my skin I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin I've tried so not to give in I've said to myself this affair never will go so well But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well That I've got you under my skin I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of having you near In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear Don't you know you fool, you never can win Use your mentality, wake up to reality But each time I do, just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin 'Cause I've got you under my skin
Writer(s): Porter
Verse: My story is much to sad to be told But practically everything leaves me totally cold The only exception I know is the case When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui Then I suddenly turn and see Your fabulous face Chorus: I get no kick from champagne Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you Some like the perfume from Spain I'm sure that if I took even one sniff It would bore me terrifically too But I get a kick out of you ( Some like the bop-type refrain ) ( I'm sure that if, I heard even one riff ) ( It would bore me terrifically too ) ( But I get a kick out of you ) ( Some they may go for cocaine ) ( I'm sure that if, I took even one sniff ) ( It would bore me terrifically too ) ( But I get a kick out of you ) I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to see, you obviously do not adore me I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some gal in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do But I get a kick out of you
Writer(s): Rodgers/Hart
She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight She loves the theater, but doesn't come late She'd never bother, with people she'd hate That's why the lady is a tramp Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those girls That's why the lady is a tramp She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair Life without care She's broke, but it's o'k She hates California, it's cold and it's damp That's why the lady is a tramp Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds Won't go to Harlem, in Lincolns or Fords Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads That's why the lady is a tramp

Love and marriage, love and marriage Go together like a horse and carriage This I tell you brother You can't have one without the other Love and marriage, love and marriage It's an institute you can't disparage Ask the local gentry And they will say it's elementary Try, try, try to separate them It's an illusion Try, try, try, and you will only come To this conclusion Love and marriage, love and marriage Go together like a horse and carriage Dad was told by mother You can't have one without the other
Writer(s): Henry Mancini
Moon River wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style someday All the dream makers, you heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going your way Two drifters off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbows And waiting round the band My huckleberry friend, Moon River And me
Writer(s): Revaux/Francois/Anka
And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and ev'ry highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way". For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today I want to be a part of it - New York, New York These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York I want to wake up in a city, that doesn't sleep And find I'm king of the hill - top of the heap These little town blues, are melting away I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere It's up to you - New York, New York
Writer(s):
Once in awhile, will you try to give one little thought to me, Though someone else may be nearer your heart. Once in a while, will you dream of the moments I shared with you, Moments before we two drifted apart. In love's smoldering ember, just one spark may remain, If love still can remember, that spark may burn again. I know that I'd be contented with yesterday's memory, Knowing you think of me once in a while.
Writer(s): Johnny Burke, Arthur Johnston
Every time it rains, It rains pennies from heaven Don't you know each cloud contains Pennies from heaven You'll find your fortune's falling All over the town Be sure that your umbrella is upside down Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers If you want the things you love, you must have showers So when you hear it thunder don't run under a tree There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
Writer(s): Kaempfert/Singleton/Snyder
Strangers in the night exchanging glances Wond'ring in the night What were the chances we'd be sharing love Before the night was through. Something in your eyes was so inviting, Something in you smile was so exciting, Something in my heart, Told me I must have you. Strangers in the night, two lonely people We were strangers in the night Up to the moment When we said our first hello. Little did we know Love was just a glance away, A warm embracing dance away and - Ever since that night we've been together. Lovers at first sight, in love forever. It turned out so right, For strangers in the night.

That's life - that's what all the people say You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top, back on top in June I say, that's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks steppin' on a dream But I don't let it, let it get me down Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinning around I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet - a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over and out - and I know one thing: Each time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race That's life - I tell you - I can't deny it: I thought of quittin', baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird an then I'd fly I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet - a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over and out - and I know one thing: Each time I find myself, laying flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race That's life. that's life, and I can't deny it: Many times I thought of cuttin' out, but my heart won't buy it But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball... And die My, my

Those fingers in my hair That sly come hither stare That strips my conscience bare It's witchcraft And I've got no defense for it The heat is too intense for it What good would common sense for it do 'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft And although, I know, it's strictly taboo When you arouse the need in my My heart says yes indeed in me Proceed with what your leading me to It's such an ancient pitch But one I wouldn't switch 'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
Writer(s): Porter
A thorough knowledge I've got about girls I've been around And after learning a lot about girls This is the important fact I found I've no proof when people say I'm more or less aloof But you're sensational I don't care if you are called, "The Fair Miss Frigidaire" 'Cause you're sensational Making love is quite an art What you require Is the proper squire To fire your heart And if you say That one fine day You'll let me come to call We'll have a ball 'Cause you're sensational, sensational That's all, that's all, that's all

Never could carry a tune Never knew where to start You came along, when everything was wrong And put a song in my heart Dear when you smiled at me I heard a melody It haunted me from the start Something inside of me, started a symphony Zing! Went the strings of my heart 'Twas like a breath of spring Heard a robin sing 'Bout a nest set apart All nature seemed to be, in perfect harmony Zing! Went the strings of my heart Your eyes made skies blue again What else could I do again Keep repeating through again I love you, I love you I still recall the thrill Guess I always will I hoped will never depart All nature seemed to be, in perfect harmony Zing! Went the strings of my heart All songs are © their respective copyright owners.
