Hits of 1953

You You You (The Ames Brothers #1) - Eb

You, you, you
I'm in love with you, you, you
I could be so true, true, true
To someone like you, you, you

That Doggie in the Window - Eb

How much is that doggie in the window? *(arf! arf!)*
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? *(arf! arf!)*
I do hope that doggie's for sale

Istanbul (Not Constantinople) (Four Lads #10) - Fm

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Stranger in Paradise (Tony Bennett #2) - F (first chord Gm)


Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart) (Percy Faith #1) (Instrumental) - F


Don't the Stars Get In Your Eyes (Perry Como #1) - F

Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes,
Don't let the moon break your heart.
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies;
Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes,
Oh keep your heart for me, for someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love.

Ebb Tide (Frank Chatsfield #2, Instrumental) - C


Rags To Riches (Tony Bennett #1) - C



That's Amore (Dean Martin #2) - C

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

April in Portugal (Les Baxter #2) (instrumental) - C


I've Got the World On a String (Sinatra #14) - F

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - I'm in love

I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see - I'm in love

Life's a wonderful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let her go

South of the Border (Down Mexico Way) (Sinatra #18) C

South of the border
Down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love
When stars above
Came out to play
And now as I wander
My thoughts ever stray
South of the border
Down Mexico way

Aye Aye Aye Aye
