... Sings the Great American Songbook

# My baby don't care for shows

# My baby don't care for clothes

# He cares for me

# I wonder what's wro-o-ong with baby

# My baby just cares for me. #

APPLAUSE

# I've wined and dined on mulligan stew

# And never wished for turkey

# I've hitched and hiked and drifted to

# From Maine to Alberquque

# Alas, I missed the Beaux Arts ball

# And what is twice as sad

# I was never at my own party

# When I honoured Bernard Ball

# His social circles moved too fast for me

# My hobohemia is the place to be

# I get too hungry for dinner at eight

# I love the theatre, but never come late

# I never bother with people I hate

# That's why this lady is a tramp

# I don'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 this lady is a tramp

# I like the free, fresh

# Wind in my hair

# Life without care

# I'm broke, that's oke

# Hate California, it's cold and it's damp

# That's why this lady is a tramp

# And I love it

# Yes, I'm a tramp

# And I love it

# And I wish that you were coming my way

# Yeah

# I wish that you were coming my way

# Yeah

# I wish that you were coming my way

# Yes, I'm a lady-y-y-y

# But a tra-a-a-a-amp. #

APPLAUSE

# You're my

# Funny Valentine

# Sweet, comic

# Valentine

# You make me smile

# With my heart

# Your looks are laughable

# Unphotographable

# Yet you're my favourite work of art

# Is your figure less than Greek

# Is your mouth a little weak

# When you open it

# To speak

# Are you smart

# Well

# Don't change a hair for me

# Not if you care for me

# Stay, little Valentine

# Sta-a-a-ay

# Each day

# Is Valentine's day. #

# Every time APPLAUSE

# We say goodbye

# I die a little

# Every time we say goodbye

# I wonder why a little

# Why the gods above me

# Who must be in the know

# Think so little of me

# They allow you to go

# When you're near

# There's such an air of spring about it

# I can hear a lark somewhere

# Begin to sing about it

# There's no love song finer

# But how strange the change

# From major to minor

# Every time we say

# Goodbye

# Goodbye. #

APPLAUSE Thank you.

# Another bride

# Another June

# Another sunny

# Honeymoon

# Another season

# Another reason

# For makin' whoopee

# A lot of shoes

# A lot of rice

# The groom is nervous

# He answers twice

# It's really killing

# That he's so willing

# To make whoopee

# Picture a little love nest

# Down where the roses cling

# Picture that same sweet love nest

# Think what a year can bring

# He's washing dishes

# And baby clothes

# He's so ambitious

# He even sews

# But don't forget, folks

# That's what you get, folks

# For makin' whoopee

# Another year

# Or maybe less

# What's this I hear

# Well, can't you guess

# She feels neglected

# And he's suspected

# Of makin' whoopee

# She sits alone

# Most every night

# He doesn't phone her

# He doesn't write

# He says he's busy

# But she says, "Is he?"

# He's makin' whoopee

# He doesn't make much money

# Only five thousand per

# Some judge who thinks he's funny

# Says, "You'll pay six to her"

# Now he says, "Judge

# "Suppose I fail"

# The judge says, "Budge

# "Right into jail

# "You'd better keep her

# "I think it's cheaper

# "Than makin' whoopee"

# Than makin' whoopee

# Than makin' whoopee. #

# When an irresistible force such as you

# Meets an old immoveable object like me

# You can bet as sure as you live

# Something's gotta give, something's gotta give, something's 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 get kissed

# So, en garde, who knows what the fates have in store

# From their vast, 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

# We'll find out as sure as we live

# Something's gotta give, something's gotta give, something's gotta give

# Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might

# Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night

# We'll find out as sure as we live

# Something's gotta give, something's gotta give, something's gotta give

# Something's gotta give, something's gotta give, something's gotta give. #

# They ask me how I knew

# My true love was true

# Oh-oh-oh

# I, of course, replied

# Something here inside

# Cannot be denied

# They said someday you'll find

# All who love are blind

# Oh-oh-oh

# When your heart's on fire

# You must realise

# Smoke gets in your eyes

# So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed

# To think they could doubt

# My love

# Yet today

# My love has flown away

# I am without my love

# Now laughing friends deride

# Tears I cannot hide

# Boo-oo-hoo

# So I smile and say

# When a lovely flame dies

# Smoke gets in your eyes. #

APPLAUSE

# 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 impractical

# Rainbows

# I'm inclined to pursue

# Call me irresponsible

# Yes, I'm unreliable

# But it's undeniably true

# I'm irresponsibly mad

# For you. #

# Keep talking happy talk

# Talk about things you'd like to do

# You've got to have a dream

# If you don't have a dream

# How you gonna have a dream come true

# Talk about the moon

# Floating in the sky

# Looking like a lily on a lake

# Talk about the bird

# Learning how to fly

# Making all the music he can make

# Happy talk

# Keep talking happy talk

# Talk about things you'd like to do

# You've got to have a dream

# If you don't have a dream

# How you gonna have a dream come true

# Let's talk about the star

# Looking like a toy

# Peeking through the branches of a tree

# Talk about the girl

# Talk about the boy

# Counting all the ripples on the sea

# Happy talk

# Keep talking happy talk

# Talk about things you'd like to do

# You've got to have a dream

# If you don't have a dream

# How you gonna make a dream come true? #

All right!

# Talk about the boy

# Saying to the girl

# "Golly, baby, I'm a lucky cus"

# Talk about the girl

# Saying to the boy

# "You and me are lucky to be us"

# Happy talk

# Keep talking happy talk

# Talk about things you'd like to do

# You've got to have a dream

# If you don't have a dream

# How you gonna make a dream come true

# And if you don't talk happy

# And you never have a dream

# Then you'll never have

# A dream come true. #

# It's that ole devil called love again

# Gets behind me

# And keeps giving me that shove again

# Putting rain in my eyes

# Tears in my dreams

# And rocks in my heart

# It's that sly old son of a gun again

# He keeps telling me

# That I'm the lucky one again

# But I still have that rain

# Still have those tears

# And those rocks in my heart

# S'pose I didn't stay

# Ran away

# Wouldn't play

# The devil, what a potion he would brew

# He'd follow me round

# Build me up

# Tear me down

# Till I'd be so bewildered

# I wouldn't know what to do

# Might as well

# Give up that fight again

# I know darn well he'll convince me

# That he's right again

# When he sings that sorry song

# I've just gotta tag along

# With that ole devil called love

# He'd follow me round

# Build me up

# Tear me down

# Till I'd be so bewildered

# I wouldn't know what to do

# Might as well

# Give up that fight again

# I know darn well he'll convince me

# That he's right again

# When he sings that sorry song

# I've just gotta tag along

# With that ole devil called love

# With that ole devil called love. #

# It had to be you

# It had to be you

# I wandered around

# And I finally found

# The somebody who

# Could make me be true

# Could make me be blue

# Or even be glad

# Just to be sad

# Thinking of you

# Some others I've seen

# Might never be mean

# They might never be cross

# Or try to be boss

# But they wouldn't do

# For nobody else gave me a thrill

# With all your faults

# I love you still

# It had to be you

# Wonderful you

# It had to be you

# Some others I've seen

# They might not be mean

# They might never be cross

# Try to be boss

# They wouldn't do

# For nobody else gave me a thrill

# With all your faults

# I love you still

# It had to be you

# Wonderful you

# It had to be you. #

# It's quarter to three

# There's no one in the place except you and me

# Set 'em up, Joe

# I've got a little story that you ought to know

# We're drinking, my friends

# To the end of a brief episode

# Make it one for my baby

# And one more for the road

# I've got the routine

# Drop another nickel in the machine... #

Nickel!

# I'm feeling so bad

# I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad

# I could tell you a lot

# But you gotta to be true to your code

# Make it one for my baby

# One more for the road

# Now, you'd never know it

# Buddy, I'm a kind of poet

# And I got a lot of things to say

# When I'm gloomy

# You gotta listen to me

# Before they're all talked away

# Well, that's how it goes

# That's how it goes. #

Take it, Ralph. Thank you.

# This torch that I found

# Must be drowned

# Or it soon might explode

# Make it one for my baby

# And one more for the road

# That long, long

# That long, long

# Road

# Ba-do-ba da-da-da-do-day. #

A-ha. One more time.

That's the right beat.

Well... Huh?

# Make it one for my baby

# And one more for the road

# That long, long

# That long, long, long

# Road

# Ba-do-ba da-da-da-do-day. #

# Miss Otis regrets

# She's unable to lunch today

# Madam

# Miss Otis regrets

# She's unable to lunch today

# She is sorry to be delayed

# But last evening down on Lovers' Lane, she strayed

# Madam

# Miss Otis regrets

# She's unable to lunch today

# When she woke up and found

# That her dream of love was gone

# Madam

# She ran to the man

# Who had led her so far astray

# And from under her velvet gown

# She drew a gun and shot her lover down

# Madam

# Miss Otis regrets

# She's unable to lunch today

# When the mob came and got her

# And dragged her from the jail

# Madam

# They strung her upon

# The old willow across the way

# And the moment before she died

# She lifted up her lovely head and cried

# Madam

# Miss Otis regrets

# She's unable to lunch today

# Miss Otis regrets

# She's unable to lunch today. #

# All of me

# Why not

# Take all of me

# Can't you see

# I'm no good without you

# Take my lips

# I'll never use them

# Take my arms

# I'll not refuse them

# Your goodbye

# Left me with eyes that cry

# How can I go on, dear, without you?

# You took the part

# That once was my heart

# Why not take all of me

# All of me

# Why not take all of me

# Can't you see

# I'm no good without you

# Take my lips

# I'll never use them

# Take my arms

# I'll not refuse them

# Your goodbye

# Left me with eyes that cry

# How can I go on, dear, without you

# You took the part

# That once was my heart

# Why not

# Take all

# Why not take all

# Of me? #

# 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

# Let's fly, let's fly away

# Come fly with me

# Let's float down to Peru

# In llama land there's a one-man band

# And he'll toot his flute for you

# Come fly with me

# Let's take off 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 hear

# Angels cheers cos we're together

# Weather-wise, such a lovely day

# Just say the words and we'll beat those birds

# Down to Acapulco Bay

# It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say

# So come fly with me

# Let's fly, let's fly... # Come on, boys!

Pack up! Fly away with me now!

# Once I get you up there

# Where the air is so rarefied

# We are gonna glide

# Starry-eyed

# Once I get you up there

# I'll be holding you so very near

# That you may even hear

# All the angels cheer

# Come...

# Weather-wise, such a lovely day

# You just say the words

# We'll beat those birds

# Down to Acapulco Bay

# It's just so perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say

# So come fly with me

# Let's fly, let's fly

# Pack up, let's fly

# Away. #

CHEERING

# My story is much too sad

# To be told

# But practically everything

# Leaves me totally cold

# The only exception I kno-o-ow

# Is the ca-a-se

# When I'm out on a quiet spree

# Fighting vainly the old ennui

# And I suddenly turn and see

# Your fabulous face

# 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 get their kicks from cocaine... #

HE SNIFFS # I'm sure that if I took

# Even one sniff

# That would bore me terrifically too

# Yet I get a kick... #

HE MOUTHS

# I get a kick

# Every time I see you

# Standing there before me

# I get a kick

# Though it's clear to me

# That 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... #

# Some get their kicks 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 get their kicks from cocaine

# I'm sure that if I had even one spliff

# That would bore me terr-r-r-r-r-rifically too

# But I get a kick out of you

# Oh!

# I get a kick

# Every time I see you

# Standing there before me

# I get a kick

# Though it's clear to me

# That you obviously

# Do not adore me

# I get no kick in a plane

# Duh-dum dum deh-dah

# Flying too high with some gal in the sky

# Is my idea of nothing to do

# But I get a kick

# She gives me a boot

# I get a kick out of you

# Out of you

# You... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm

# Mmmm-mm-mm-mm-mm

# Mmmm-mm-mm-mm-mm

# Mmm-hmmm-mmm mm-mm-mm

# My mama told me

# When I was in knee-pants

# Mama done told me, son

# A woman'll sweet talk

# Give you the eye

# When that sweet talk is done

# Woman'll sweet talk

# A worrisome thing, leave you to sing the blues

# In the night

# Now the rain is fallin'

# Hear that train a-callin'

# Whoo-ee

# Hear that lonesome whistle

# Blowin' across the trestle, whoo-ee

# Whoo-ee, a-whoo-ee

# Clickety-clack Echoing back the blues

# In the night

# The evenin' breeze

# Will start the trees

# To cryin'

# And the moon will hide its light

# Oh, when you get the blues

# In the night, lo'

# Now take my word

# The mockingbird

# Sang the saddest kind of song

# He knows that things are wrong, now

# And he's right, lord, yeah

# From Natchez to Mobile

# Memphis to St Joe

# Wherever the four winds blow, now

# Been in some big towns

# Heard lots of big talk

# But there's one thing I know

# Woman's a two-face

# Worrisome thing, gon' leave you to sing the blues

# In the night

# Mama done warned me

# Man, 'bout the blues in the night

# Mama done told me

# Ah, the women won't do you right, lo'

# Mama, 'bout the blues in the night

# Two-faced, ooh Women you can't trust

# This night, you pray

# Give you the crust

# Lord, it watches you

# Turn to dust

# Then on a quarter

# Feel in God we trust

# Talkin' about the blues

# In the night, yeah. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# Heaven, I'm in heaven

# And the cares that hung around me through the week

# Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

# When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

# Oh, I like to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak

# But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

# Oh, I like to go out fishing in a river or a creek

# But it doesn't thrill me...

# Dance with me I want my arms about you

# Those charms about you will carry me through

# To heaven, I'm in heaven

# And I seem to find the happiness I seek

# When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek... #

# Oh, I like to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak

# But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

# Love to go out fishing, and you really will agree...

# Dance with me

# I want my arms about you

# Those charms about you

# Will carry me through to heaven

# I'm in heaven

# When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

# When we're out together dancing... #

SHE SCATS

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# My baby don't care for shows

# My baby don't care for clothes

# He cares for me

# My baby don't care for

# Cars and races

# My baby don't care for

# High-tone places

# Liz Taylor is not his style

# And even Lana Turner's smile

# Something he can't see

# My baby don't care

# Who knows it

# My baby just cares for me... #

# My baby don't care for shows

# My baby don't care for clothes

# He cares for me

# My baby don't care for

# Cars and races

# Baby, baby don't care for

# He don't care for high-tone places

# Liz Taylor is not his style

# And even Liberace's smile

# Is something, something he can't see

# It's something he can't see

# I wonder what's wrong with baby

# My baby just cares for

# Oh, my baby just cares for

# My baby just cares for me. #
