One For My Baby (And One
More For The Road) 
Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, Frank Sinatra
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/ Till it's talked away
Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin' / Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer / I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that I found, It's gotta be drowned / Or
it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby / And one more for the road
~ From the Hollywood musical The Sky's the
Limit
~ Featured in the 1955 Hollywood musical Young at Heart
You make me feel so young.
You make me feel so "Spring has sprung",
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual.
The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide-and-seek.
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon.
You and I are just like a couple of tots
Runnin' across the meadow
Pickin' up lots of forget-me-nots.
You make me feel so young.
You make me feel there are songs to be sung,
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung,
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young.
You make me feel so young.
You make me feel so young.
Ooo - you make me feel so young.
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And 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
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, in other words
I love ... you
I’m gettin’ married in the morning
Ding-dong the bells are gonna chime
We’ll have a whopper, pull out the stopper
Get me to the church on time
I’ve got to get there in the morning
Spruced up and lookin’ in my prime
Girls come and kiss me,
Show how you'll miss me,
But get me to the church on time
If I am flying, then shoot me down,
If I am wooing, get her out of town!
Or, Sinatra version:
If I am dancing, roll up the floor
If I am whistling, out the door
I’m gettin’ married in the morning
Ding-ding-dong they’re gonna chime
Pull out your compass, kick up a rompass
Get me to the church on time
| Ain’t
That a Kick in the Head? Key of Eb |
Dean
Martin, Robbie Williams
|
How lucky can one guy be? / I kissed her and she kissed me.
Like a fella once said: “Ain’t that a kick in the head?”
The room was completely black, / I hugged her and she hugged
back.
Like a sailor said quote: “Ain’t that a hole in a boat?”
My head keeps spinnin’, / I go to sleep and keep grinnin’
If this is just the beginnin’ / My life is gonna be beautiful.
I’ve sunshine enough to spread, / It’s just like the fella said.
Tell me quick, / ain’t that a kick in the head?
Like the fella once said: / “Ain’t that a kick in the head?”
Like the sailor said quote: / “Ain’t that a hole in a boat?”
My head keeps spinnin’, / I go to sleep and keep grinnin’
If this is just the beginnin’ / My life is gonna be beautiful.
She’s telling me we’ll be wed, / She’s picked out a king size bed,
I couldn’t feel any better or I’d be sick.
Tell me quick, / Oh, ain’t that a kick...?
Tell me quick, / ain’t that a kick in the head?
When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie, That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine, That's
amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling, And you'll sing
"Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay, Like a
gay tarantella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet,
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not, Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli, That's amore

Lucky fella
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
(That) My sometime is now
Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
(That) My someplace is here
If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I've found in your arms
Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you
| Sway |
Dean Martin (#15 in 1954),
Michael Buble, Peter Cincotti
|
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Sammy Davis Jr.
Too Close For
Comfort
From “Mr. Wonderful”, 1956
Sammy Davis, Jr.
Be wise, be smart, behave my heart,
Don’t upset your cart when she’s so close.
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet,
Don’t go off your beat, she’s too close for comfort.
Too close, too close for comfort, Please not again.
Too close, too close to know when to say “when”.
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware, on your guard, take care
When there’s such tempation.
One thing leads to another, too late to run for cover,
She’s much to close for comfort now!
| What Kind
Of Fool Am I |
Anthony Newley, Sammy
Davis Jr, Stop the World, I Want To Get Off!
|
What kind of fool am I?
Who never fell in love
It seems that I’m the only one
That I have been thinking of
What kind of man is this? An empty shell
A lonely cell in which An empty heart must dwell
What kind of lips are these
That lied with every kiss
That whispered empty words of love
That left me alone like this
Why can’t I fall in love
Like any other man
And maybe then I’ll know
What kind of fool I am.
What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life?
Why can’t I cast away the mask of play And live my life?
Why can’t I fall in love Till I don’t give a damn
And maybe then I’ll know What kind of fool I am
When an irresistible force duch as you.
Meets an old immovable object like me.
You can bet as sure as you live.
Something gotta give
Something gotta give
Something gotta give.
When an irrepressible smile such as yours.
Warms an old implacable heart / Such as mine.
Don't say no. Because I insist.
Somewhere, Somehow, Someone's gonna be kissed.
So on guard.
Who knows what the fates have in store.
From there fast mysterious sky.
I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore.
But how long can anyone try.
Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight.
Fight it with all of our might.
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night.
You'll find out as sure as we live.
Something's really got to give
Steve and Edie
| This Could Be the
Start of Something Big
|
Steve Allen, 1956 |
You're walking along the street or you're at a party,
Or else you're alone and then you suddenly dig;
You're lookin' in someone's eyes, you suddenly realize,
This could be the start of something big!
You're lunching at "Twenty One" and watching your diet,
Declining a Charlotte Rusee, accepting a fig,
When out of the clear blue sky it's suddenly gal and guy,
And this could be the start of something big!
There's no controlling the unrolling of your fate, my friend,
Who know what's written in the magic book?
But when a lover you discover at the gate, my friend,
Invite her in without a second look!
You're u in an aeroplane, or dining at Sardi's
Or lying at Malibu, alone on the sand;
You suddenly hear a bell, and right away you can tell
That this could be the start of something grand!
Verse 2:
You're doin' your income tax, or buyin' a toothbrush,
Or hurryin' home because the hour is late;
Then suddenly there you go, the very next thing you know,
Is this could be the start of something great!
You're havin' a snowball fight, or pickin' up daisies,
You're singin' a happy tune, or knockin' on wood;
When all of the sudden you, look up and there's someone
new,
Oh, this could be the start of something good!
Your destined lover you'll discover in a frightning flash,
So keep your heart awake both night and day.
Because the meeting may be fleeting as a lighting flash
And you don't want to let it slip away!
You're watching the sun come up, or counting your money,
Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine;
When suddenly there she is, you want to be where she is,
And this must be the start of something,
This could be the start of something
This could be the start of something fine!
| I've Gotta Be Me |
Steve Lawrence, from Golden Rainbow
|
Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong.
I've Gotta Be Me! I've Gotta Be Me!
What else can I be but what I am?
I want to live! Not merely survive!
And I won't give up this dream of life that keeps me alive!
I've Gotta Be Me! I've Gotta Be Me!
The dream that I see makes me what I am!
That far away prize, a world of success,
Is waiting for me if I heed the call.
I won't settle down, or settle for less,
As long as there's half a chance that I can have it all!
I'll go it alone. That's how it must be.
I can't be right for somebody else if I'm not right for me.
I've gotta be free! I've gotta be free!
Daring to try to do it or die!
I've Gotta Be Me!
Nat 'King' Cole
Mister . . . you may . . . have travelled near or far,
But you haven't seen the country,
'Till you've seen the country by car!
Mister . . . may I . . . recommend a royal route?
It starts in Illinois, let me tell you boy!
Well if you ever plan to motor west
Just take my way that's the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well goes from St. Louie down
to Missouri / Oklahoma city looks oh so pretty
You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico /
Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66 Chorus
L is for the way you look at me
O if for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can love
It's all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Orange
Colored Sky
Nat ‘King’ Cole
I was walking along, minding my business, / When out of the orange
colored sky,
Flash, bam, alacazam, Wonderful you came by.
I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine, / When out of
that orange colored view
Wham, bam, alacazam, I got a look at you.
One look and I yelled timber / Watch out for flying glass.
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout / I've been hit, This is it,
this is it, this is it.
I was walking along minding my business / When love came and hit me in
the eye
Flash, bam, alacazam, / Out of the orange colored sky
Well, one look and I yelled timber / Watch out for flying
glass.
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout / I've been hit, This is it,
this is it, this is it.
I was walking along minding my business / When love came and hit me in
the eye
Flash, bam, alacazam, / Out of the orange colored, purple
stripes,
Pretty green polka-dot sky / Flash, bam, alacazam,
Went the sky
Tonight I’ll serve a banquet, We’ll eat some food that’s rare.
And at the head of the table, I’ll place brother Henry’s chair
Invite all the local big dogs, We’ll laugh and talk and eat,
But we’ll save the bones for Henry Jones, ‘cause he don’t
eat no meat
Today I’ll go to market - and buy a lot of fish,
That will thrill Brother Henry, Because that’s his special dish.
Get a large can of molasses, so we’ll have something sweet,
But we'll save the bones for Henry Jones, “cause he don’t
eat no meat.
Henry is not a drinker, he rarely takes a nip,
He don’t need a napkin, ‘cause the things he eats don’t drip.
One day we had a banquet, It really was a bake,
They started off with some short ribs, they finished off with a steak.
But when the feast was over, brother henry just kept his seat,
and we served the bones to Henry Jones, ‘cause he don’t eat no meat.
Tony Bennett
If I ruled the world, ev’ry day would be the first day
of spring,
Ev’ry heart would have a new song to sing
And we’d sing of the joy ev’ry morning would bring.
If I ruled the world, ev’ry man would be as free as a bird,
Ev’ry voice would be a voice to be heard.
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.
My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams.
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams.
If I ruled the world, ev’ry man would say the world was his friend,
There’d be happiness that no man could end,
No, my friend, not if I ruled the world.
Ev’ry head would be held up high,
There’d be sunshine in ev’ryone’s sky
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world.
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I’ve been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I’m going home to my city by the bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill it calls to me
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don’t care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I came home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town.....
Look out, old Macky's back!!
Beyond
the Sea Key of F
Somewhere Beyond the Sea, Somewhere waiting for me,
My lover stands on golden sands and watches the ships that go sailing;
Somewhere Beyond the Sea, She's there watching for me,
If I could fly like birds on high,
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing.
It's far beyond a star, it's near beyond the moon,
I know beyond a doubt, my heart will lead me there soon.
We'll meet beyond the shore, we'll kiss just as before,
Happy we'll be beyond the sea and never again I'll go sailing.

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone,
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die
It's not unusual to go out at any time,
But when I see you out and about it's just a crime,
If you should ever wanna be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual, it happens every day,
No matter what you say
You'll find it happens all the time
Love will never do, what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine.
It's not unusual to be mad with anyone,
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at any time
It's not unusual, to find that I'm in love with you
Woh woh woh woh

Perry
Como
Papa Loves Mambo
Perry Como
'Papa Loves Mambo and Mama loves
mambo!' So sang Perry Como, who popularized this catchy dance
number on his NBC television show. Como's 1954 recording climbed to No.
4 in the U.S.A. and sold over one million copies.
Bandleader Perez Prado introduced the sizzling,
screeching mambo to the United States in 1949, but it caught on with a
bang in 1954, and this recording was one reason why. The song writing
team of Al Hoffman and Dick Manning was joined by veteran Bix Reichner,
composer of such hits as "The Fable of the Rose" and "The Red We Want
Is The Red We've Got ( in the Old Red, White and Blue )", to produce
this bright novelty for Perry. The grunts heard from the chorus are
humorous references to bandleader Prado's yelps to his musicians as
they whipped dancers into a mambo frenzy.
Papa loves mambo / Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it, gettin' so gay
with it
Shoutin' "olé" with it, wow! (ooh!)
Papa loves mambo / (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo / (Mama loves mambo)
Papa does great with it, swings like a gate with it
Evens his weight with it, now!
He goes to, she goes fro / He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right / (Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is
nowhere in sight)
Papa loves mambo / Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again, younger than Spring again / Feelin' that zing
again, wow! (ooh!)
Papa loves mambo / (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo / (Mama loves mambo)
Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba / 'cause papa loves mama
tonight (ooh!)
(Papa loves mambo) / (Mama loves mambo) / (Papa loves mambo) / (Mama
loves mambo)
He goes to, she goes fro / He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right / (Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is
nowhere in sight)
Papa loves mambo / (Papa loves mambo) / Mama loves mambo / (Mama loves
mambo)
Havin' their fling again, younger than Spring again / Feelin' that zing
again, wow! (ooh!)

On a clear day, rise and look around you, and you'll see
who you are.
On a clear day, how it will astound you
That the glow of your feelings outshines every star.
You will follow every mountain, sea and shore,
You will see from far and near a world you've never seen before.
On a clear day, on a clear day,
you can see forever,
and ever, and ever more.

Cool Cool Cool Of The Evening
Frank Sinatra, originally made famous by Bing Crosby
Sue wants a barbeque / Sam wants to boil a ham
Grace votes for builabaise stew
Jake wants a weenie bake, stake and a layer cake
He’ll get a tummy ache too / We’ll rent a tent or teepee
Let the town cryer cry / And if it’s RSVP
This is what I’ll reply.
In the cool cool cool of the evening / Tell em’
I’ll be there
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening / Better save
a chair
When the party’s gettin’ a glow on / And singing
fills the air
In the shank of the night / when the doins’ are right
You can tell em’ I’ll be there
If there’s room for one more / and you need me why sure
You can tell em’ I’ll be there / If I can climb out of bed
Put a hat on my head / You can tell em’...
I’ll be there Chorus
By Hoagy Carmichael (M) and Johnny

This Hoagy Carmichael-Johnny Mercer delight had been
slated for a Betty Hutton movie, then dropped, when Bing
Crosby got wind of it. At Bing's insistence it was
slotted into his 1951 file "Here Comes the Groom" (1951), among
tunes by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans - and walked off with that year's
Oscar as Best Film Song.

She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
And her hair has a kind of curl
To my mind, she's my kind of girl
She's wise, like an angel's wise
With eyes like an angel's eyes
And her smile kinda like a pearl
To my mind, she's my kind of girl
Pretty little face
That face just knocks me off my feet
Pretty little feet
She's really sweet enough to eat
She looks like an angel looks
She cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
To my mind, she's my kind of girl
And my heart's kind of full of joy
Because she told me I'm her kind of boy

Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your
make-up, soon he will open the door,
Don’t think because there’s a ring on your finger, you needn’t try any
more.
For wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment that he comes home to you.
I’m warning you...
Day after day, there are girls at the office and the men will always
be men,
Don’t stand him up, with your hair still in curlers, you may not see
him again.
Wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
He’s almost here,
Hey, little girl, better wear something pretty,
Something you wear to go to the city,
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music, time to get ready
for love.
Time to get ready for love, yes it’s time to get ready for love,
It’s time to get ready, kick your shoes off, baby....,
Call Me Irresponsible, call me unreliable,
Throw in undependable too.
Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Well, I’m not too clever, I just adore you.
Call me unpredictable, tell me I’m inpractical,
Rainbows I’m inclined to pursue.
Call Me Irresponsible, yes, I’m unreliable,
But it’s undeniably true;
I’m irresponsibly mad for you!
