Everyone gets into a dull routine
If they don't get a chance to change the scene
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
I'll tell ya what I mean
I met a rather amusing fool
While on my way to Istanbul
He bought me the Black Sea for my swimming pool
Monotonous
For thirty days, salt air I sniffed
While I was shipwrecked and cast adrift
With a man who looked like Montgomery Clift
Monotonous
For what it's worth, throughout the earth
I'm known as femme fatale
But when the yawn comes up like thunder, brother
Take back your Taj Mahal
Jack Fath made a new style for me
I even made Johnny Ray smile for me
A camel once walked a mile for me
Monotonous, monotonous
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
Traffic has been known to stop for me
Prices even rise and drop for me
Harry S.Truman plays bop for me
Monotonous, monotone-eous
T.S. Elliott writes books for me
King Farouk's on tenterhooks for me
Sherman Billingsley even cooks for me
Monotonous, monotonous
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
Though I know I've acres of dough
I'm not sure of the amount
It might be exciting some day if I learned to count
Chian Kai-Shek sends me pots of tea
Gaylord Hauser sends me vitamin D
And, furthermore, Ike likes me
Monotonous, monotonous
Monotonous

Bal Petit Bal
Well, hello there
My it's been a long, long time
How am I doin'?
Oh, I guess that I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now but it seems now
That it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away
How's your new love
I hope that he's doin' fine
I heard you told him
That you'd love him 'til the end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't funny how time slips away
I gotta go now
I guess I'll see you around
Don't never know, never know
When I'll be back in town
But remember what I tell you
In time, you're gonna pay
And it's surprising how time slips away
My it's been a long, long time
How am I doin'?
Oh, I guess that I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now but it seems now
That it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away
How's your new love
I hope that he's doin' fine
I heard you told him
That you'd love him 'til the end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't funny how time slips away
I gotta go now
I guess I'll see you around
Don't never know, never know
When I'll be back in town
But remember what I tell you
In time, you're gonna pay
And it's surprising how time slips away

Annie Doesn't Live Here Anymore
(Annie, where's Annie
Where, oh where is Annie?)
Annie doesn't live here anymore
You must be the one she waited for
She said I would know you by the blue in your eye
Checkered suit, a fancy vest, and polka-dot tie
You answer to that description, so I guess that you're the guy
Well, Annie doesn't live here anymore. (Annie, where's Annie?)
Annie doesn't live here anymore. (Where's Annie?)
It's too bad you didn't call before. (Where's Annie?)
She just bought a gown that ties with ribbons above
Brand new shoes, a pretty hat, and latest style glove
She really looked so alluring, and just waiting for your love
But Annie doesn't live here anymore
It was spring. There was romance in the air
And ev'rything seemed for loving hearts to share
And there was she, just as lonely and as blue
As she could be. That's the reason—
Annie doesn't live here anymore
Might have been your picture that she tore
She was oh so faithful. What a pitiful sight!
Waited for the letter that you promised to write
A gentleman with a top hat called around the other night
And Annie doesn't live here anymore.(Annie, where's Annie?)
Annie doesn't live here anymore. (Annie, where's Annie?)
Annie doesn't live here anymore
Where, oh where is Annie?)
Annie doesn't live here anymore
You must be the one she waited for
She said I would know you by the blue in your eye
Checkered suit, a fancy vest, and polka-dot tie
You answer to that description, so I guess that you're the guy
Well, Annie doesn't live here anymore. (Annie, where's Annie?)
Annie doesn't live here anymore. (Where's Annie?)

Two Lovers
I saw two lovers last night
Down where the ships put to sea
One was the image of you
The other was so like me
I saw two lovers last night
While the sea music played
Music that told of farewell
But I was not afraid
Still I can't erase the memory
Of their kiss and last goodbye
A ship on the far horizon
That last long haunting cry
So tell me now my love:
These two that said goodbye
Say that it just couldn't be
No it never could be
The ghosts of you and I
I saw two lovers last night
Down where the ships put to sea
One was the image of you
The other was so like me
I saw two lovers last night
While the sea music played
Music that told of farewell
But I was not afraid
Still I can't erase the memory
Of their kiss and last goodbye
A ship on the far horizon
That last long haunting cry
So tell me now my love:
These two that said goodbye
Say that it just couldn't be
No it never could be
The ghosts of you and I
Down where the ships put to sea
One was the image of you
The other was so like me
I saw two lovers last night
While the sea music played
Music that told of farewell
But I was not afraid
Still I can't erase the memory
Of their kiss and last goodbye
A ship on the far horizon
That last long haunting cry
So tell me now my love:
These two that said goodbye
Say that it just couldn't be
No it never could be

I want to be evil
I've posed for pictures with Iv'ry Soap
I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender
I've been made Miss Reingold, though I never touch beer
And I'm the person to whom they say, "You're sweet, my dear"
The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass
And the closest I've been to a bar was at ballet class
Prim and proper, the girl who's never been kissed
I'm tired of being pure and not chased
Like something that seeks it's level
I wanna go to the devil
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean and throw mud pies
I want to wake up in the morning
With that dark brown taste
I wanna see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more than that, I wanna be bad
I wanna be evil and trump an ace
Just to see my partner's face
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
And in the theatre, I want to change my seat
Just so I can step on everybody's feet
I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
And whatever I've got, I am eager to lose
I wanna be evil, little evil me
Just as mean and evil as I can be
I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender
I've been made Miss Reingold, though I never touch beer
And I'm the person to whom they say, "You're sweet, my dear"
The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass
And the closest I've been to a bar was at ballet class
Prim and proper, the girl who's never been kissed
I'm tired of being pure and not chased
Like something that seeks it's level
I wanna go to the devil
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean and throw mud pies
I want to wake up in the morning
With that dark brown taste
I wanna see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad

Cest Si Bon
C'est si bon
De partir n'importe où
Bras dessus, bras dessous
En chantant des chansons
C'est si bon
De se dire des mots doux
De petits riens du tout
Mais qui en disent long
En voyant notre mine ravie
Les passants dans la rue nous envient
C'est si bon
De guetter dans ses yeux
Un espoir merveilleux
Qui donne le frisson
C'est si bon
Ces petites sensations
Ça vaut mieux qu'un million
C'est tellement, tellement bon
(C'est bon, c'est bon)
Mmm, c'est bon
Voilà, c'est bon
Les passants dans la rue
Bras dessus, bras dessous
En chantant des chansons
Quel espoir merveilleux
Mmm, c'est bon
Je cherche un millionnaire
Avec des grands "Cadillac car"
"Mink coats"
Des bijoux jusqu'au cou, tu sais?
Mmm, c'est bon
Cette petites sensations
Ou peut-être quelqu'un
Avec un petit yacht, no?
Ah, c'est bon
C'est bon, c'est bon
Vous savez bien que j'attendrais
Quelqu'un qui pourrait m'apporter
Beaucoup de "loot"
Ce soir? Demain? La semaine prochaine?
N'importe quand
Mmm, c'est bon, si bon
Il sera très. Crazy, no?
Voilà, c'est tellement bon!

Uska Dara (A Turkish Tale)
Üsküdar'a gider iken aldi da bir yagmur 2x
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, etegi çamur 2x
Kâtip uykudan uyanmis, gözleri mahmur 2x
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, ele karisir?
Kâtibime siter eter faltu ne güzel yarasir
Uskadara is a little town in Turkey
And in the old days, many women had male secretaries
Oh, well, that's Turkey!
Üsküdar'a gider iken bir mendil buldum 2x
Mendilimin içine lokum doldurdum 2x
They take a trip from Uskudara in the rain
And on the way they fall in love
He's wearing a stiff collar
In a full dress suit
She looks at him longingly through her veil
And casually feeds him candy
Oh, those Turks !
Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum 2x
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karisir?
Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir
Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum 2x
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karisir?
Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir 2x
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, etegi çamur 2x
Kâtip uykudan uyanmis, gözleri mahmur 2x

Angelitos Negros
Pintor nacido en mi tierra
Con el pincel extranjero
Pintor que sigues el rumbo
De tantos pintores viejos
Aunque la virgen sea blanca
Píntale angelitos negros
Que también se van al cielo
Todos los negritos buenos
Pintor si pintas con amor
Por qué desprecias su color?
Si sabes que en el cielo
También los quiere Dios
Pintor de santos alcoba
Si tienes alma en el cuerpo
Por qué al pintar en tus cuadros
Te olvidaste de los negros
Siempre que pintas iglesias
Pintas angelitos bellos
Pero nunca te acordaste
De pintar un ángel negro
Con el pincel extranjero
Pintor que sigues el rumbo
De tantos pintores viejos
Aunque la virgen sea blanca
Píntale angelitos negros
Que también se van al cielo
Todos los negritos buenos
Pintor si pintas con amor
Por qué desprecias su color?
Si sabes que en el cielo
También los quiere Dios
Pintor de santos alcoba
Si tienes alma en el cuerpo
Por qué al pintar en tus cuadros

Santa Baby
[ Originally by Eartha Kitt ]
Santa baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a 54 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fella's that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey, one little thing I really need
The deed to a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with the duplex and checks
Sign your 'x' on the line
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffanys
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring, I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight

Under the Bridges of Paris
Sous les ponts de Paris, lorsque descend la nuit
Tout's sort's de gueux se faufil'nt en cachette
Et sont heureux de trouver une couchette
Hôtel du courant d'air, où l'on ne paie pas cher
L'parfum et l'eau c'est pour rien mon marquis
Sous les ponts de Paris
Sous les ponts de Paris
Quel rendez-vous!
My darling why I sing this song
Is easy to explain
It tells what happens all along
The bridges of the Seine
The vagabonds go there at night
To sleep all their troubles away
But when the moon is shining bright
My heart wants to sing it this way
How would you like to be
Down by the Seine with me
Oh what I'd give for a moment or two
Under the bridges of Paris with you
Darling I'd hold you tight
Far from the eyes of night
Under the bridges of Paris with you
I'd make your dreams come true
Oh chérie, je veux apporter mes bras
Je veux apporter mon cœur
Je veux apporter all my love
Sous les ponts de Paris
Lorsque descends la nuit
Under the bridges of Paris with you
I'd make your dreams come true
I'd make your dreams come true
Tout's sort's de gueux se faufil'nt en cachette

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I, of course, replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt our love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say:
"when a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes,"
My true love was true
Oh, I, of course, replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt our love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say:

My Heart Belongs to Daddy
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
'Cause my heart belongs to Daddy.
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore his asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy
Yes my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you're perfectly swell
But my heart belongs to Daddy
'Cause my Daddy he treats it so well
There was a dame that a football game
Made long for the strong undergraddie
I never dream of making the team
'Cause my heart belongs to daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie

Somebody Bad Stole The Wedding Bell (Who's Got the Ding-Dong)
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Now, nobody can get married
Who's got the ding-dong? Who's got the bell?
Who's got the ding-dong? Who's got the bell?
Somebody know but nobody tell
'Cause somebody bad stole de wedding bell
We got sarsaparilla soda on the ice
We got shoes and rice and free advice
We got a bridal suite in Honeymoon Hotel
But what good is that without a wedding bell?
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Now, nobody can get married
Who's got the ding-dong? Who's got the bell?
Who's got the ding-dong? Who's got the bell?
Somebody know but nobody tell
'Cause somebody bad stole de wedding bell
All day the people look at the steeple
But they don't see the bell
We got very fine detective, Shiller Gun
And he's sure to question every man
So, in the marketplace where people buy and sell
He's sure to arrest the one who sells the bell
[Instrumental Break]
Who's got the ding-dong? Who's got the bell?
Who's got the ding-dong? Who's got the bell?
Somebody know but nobody tell
'Cause somebody bad stole de wedding bell
(We got solos by the island singin' band
We got lots of sun and lots of sand)
We got lover's moon we got a wishing well
And oh, how I wish we had a wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Somebody bad stole de wedding bell
Now, nobody can get married
Who's got the ding-dong? Who's got the bell?
Who's got the ding-dong? Who's got the bell?

Looking For a Boy
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
To my tale of woe
When he says hello, so;
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
If it's true that love affairs are all arranged in heaven,
My guardian angel's holding out on me!
So I'm looking for a boy 'bout five foot six or seven,
And won't be happy till I'm on his knee!
I'll be blue until he comes my way,
Hope he takes the cue when I am sayin';
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
To my tale of woe
When he says hello, so;
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Won't you find that boy?
Help me find a boy
Who's lookin' for a girl to love.
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
To my tale of woe
When he says hello, so;
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
If it's true that love affairs are all arranged in heaven,
My guardian angel's holding out on me!
So I'm looking for a boy 'bout five foot six or seven,
And won't be happy till I'm on his knee!
I'll be blue until he comes my way,
Hope he takes the cue when I am sayin';
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
To my tale of woe
When he says hello, so;
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Won't you find that boy?
Help me find a boy
Who's lookin' for a girl to love.

If I Was a Boy
If I was a boy I'd know the things a girl shouldn't know
I'd go where girls shouldn't go
So, oh so girls shouldn't, so
If I was a boy, I'd had come of age a long time ago
It would be a joy, if I was a boy
If I was a boy, I'd do so much a girl can't explain
I'd pack and catch me a train
Go out and raise me some Cain
If I was a boy, there'd be some use in having a brain
It would be a joy, just to be a boy
There is such a lot a girl is got to cope with
There are times I think I'm busting at the seams
But as long as I have something left to hope with
I still have my dreams
If I was a boy, I'd have no wings like girls seem to sprout
Learn things that girls seem to doubt
Spread my activities out
If I was a boy, I'd know what all the shouting's about
It would be a joy, just to be a boy
There is such a lot a girl is got to cope with
There are times I think I'm busting at the seams
But as long as I have something left to hope with
I still have my dreams
If I was a boy, I'd have no wings like girls seem to sprout
Learn things that girls seem to doubt
Spread my small activities out
If I was a boy, I'd know what all the shouting's about
It would be a joy, just to be a boy
Doggone it, if I was only a boy, the things I wouldn't do
I'd take a trip to
I'd go where girls shouldn't go
So, oh so girls shouldn't, so
If I was a boy, I'd had come of age a long time ago
It would be a joy, if I was a boy
If I was a boy, I'd do so much a girl can't explain
I'd pack and catch me a train
Go out and raise me some Cain
If I was a boy, there'd be some use in having a brain
It would be a joy, just to be a boy
There is such a lot a girl is got to cope with
There are times I think I'm busting at the seams
But as long as I have something left to hope with
I still have my dreams
If I was a boy, I'd have no wings like girls seem to sprout

My Daddy Is a Dandy
Oh, my daddy is a dandy in the richest kinda sense
And he keeps up his appearance at no matter what expense
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Oh, my daddy's been a dandy ever since his early youth
With a heart as full of gold as almost every single tooth
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
When he wanders 'round Chicago in his shiny Oxford shoes
Every other so-called dandy gets a sudden fit of blues
Why there's nothing 'bout my daddy that's just not the very best
Who else in Illinois has a hand brocaded vest
You can play a game of checkers on his gold and Eton suit
Yep, my daddy is a dandy, and a relative to boot
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Just a chip off daddy's diamond, is enough to make you blink
And nobody else's stockings are a lighter brighter pink
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
He wears rubies that are big enough to swell a rich man's chest
When he picks his cup of coffee up his finger's pointing west
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
When he's really out cavortin' you just oughtta see him go
Why just standing on the corner he's a one man minstrel show
Why there's always something doing at no matter where he is
And no one's got a stick-pin with a pearl as big as his
Why I often love to dream of him and wonder what he's found
Yep, my daddy is a dandy even though he's not around
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Who's a daddy and a dandy too
And he keeps up his appearance at no matter what expense
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
Oh, my daddy's been a dandy ever since his early youth
With a heart as full of gold as almost every single tooth
He's a dandy, a dandy, and I do love a dandy
When he wanders 'round Chicago in his shiny Oxford shoes
Every other so-called dandy gets a sudden fit of blues
Why there's nothing 'bout my daddy that's just not the very best

Hey Jacque
Hey, Jacques--
Have you seen Louis?
Is he still in Paris?
I wait, day after day
In that cafe
By the river
Please, Jacques
If you see Louis
Tell him to come to me
I've tried, I can't forget--
I love him yet
Please, Jacques
Tell Louis, for me
[spoken]
Hola, Jacques-- have you seen Louis? He's not come
To see me in (French words)
I've waited, and waited, in that cafe, down by the
River. No, Jacques--- [more French!]
Please, Jacques
If you see Louis
Tell him to come to me
I've tried, I can't forget--
I love him yet
Please, Jacques
Tell Louis, for me
Have you seen Louis?
Is he still in Paris?
I wait, day after day
In that cafe
By the river
Please, Jacques
If you see Louis
Tell him to come to me

The Heel
The one who has me for his own
Is on the town and I'm alone;
In his blue suit and his new tie
He slammed the door without goodbye!
Tonight my eyes are jealous green,
Tonight I'm melancholy mean!
He meets, in secret rendezvous,
Some dame to tell his troubles to,
The heel!
He'll promise her most anything,
A sable coat, a diamond ring;
She'll find him out when it's too late,
And all she gets will be a date!
But while the dawn's a distant thing,
In his embrace her heart will sing;
Her dizzy head will spin with lies,
And all too soon a woman cries,
"The heel!".
The neon lights that flash below
Ignite my room with double glow;
And in the room I hear a laugh,
It's coming from his photograph!
I ring my hands and walk the floor,
And swear to even up the score!
For where a kitten cried tonight,
A panther waits to claw and bite
The heel!
I dare not play my radio,
One more complaint and out I go!
I'm sick of playing solitaire,
The ace of spades is everywhere!
There'll be no sleep for me tonight,
The sheep I count are never white!
They all turn out to be jet black,
And who's the leader of the pack?
The heel!
At dawn I know he'll stagger in,
Demanding coffee black as sin,
And as I take it from the tin,
I slip a little powder in!
He'll look at me and start to cry,
And cross his heart and hope to die!
And mumble "I know how you feel,
But I've been on a business deal!",
The heel!
Then as the pot begins to perk,
I know my plan will never work!
But when he starts to drink it up,
I'll grab his hand and break the cup!
It's only jealousy, I know,
That brought my thinking down so low!
Why must I wait for him and grieve?
Why don't I just pack up and leave
The heel?!
But no he's really on the stair,
I'll try to act like I don't care!
For in my heart's arithmetic
I find it takes two heels to click!
We're in a web of love and hate,
Where it will end is up to fate!
I'll let him have his little fling;
I'll be the chewing gum that clings
To the heel!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Is on the town and I'm alone;
In his blue suit and his new tie
He slammed the door without goodbye!
Tonight my eyes are jealous green,
Tonight I'm melancholy mean!
He meets, in secret rendezvous,
Some dame to tell his troubles to,
The heel!
He'll promise her most anything,
A sable coat, a diamond ring;
She'll find him out when it's too late,
And all she gets will be a date!

The Day The Circus Left Town
The Day That the Circus Left Town
I waved to the man with the golden baton
And I waved through the rain falling down;
And I waved till the last of the music was gone
The day that the circus left town
My heart still recalls when it seems to my mind
That my heart only knows how to frown
How my heart almost broke when they left me behind
The day that the circus left town
I asked for a job doing anything
Feed the elephants, carry water, anything!
But the man said they didn't have anything
And turned me away, turned me away!
And away went the lions and the tigers so wild
And away went my beautiful clown;
And away went my very last day as a child
The day that the circus left town
I asked for a job doing anything
Feed the elephants, carry water, anything!
But the man said they didn't have anything
And turned me away, turned me away!
And away went the lions and the tigers so wild
And away went my beautiful clown;
And away went my very last day as a child
The day that the circus left town
I waved to the man with the golden baton
And I waved through the rain falling down;
And I waved till the last of the music was gone
The day that the circus left town
My heart still recalls when it seems to my mind
That my heart only knows how to frown
How my heart almost broke when they left me behind
The day that the circus left town
I asked for a job doing anything
Feed the elephants, carry water, anything!
But the man said they didn't have anything
And turned me away, turned me away!
And away went the lions and the tigers so wild
And away went my beautiful clown;
And away went my very last day as a child
The day that the circus left town

Feed the elephants, carry water, anything!
But the man said they didn't have anything
And turned me away, turned me away!
And away went the lions and the tigers so wild
And away went my beautiful clown;

Dinner For One Please James
Dinner for one please, James
The Madame will not be dining
Yes, you may bring the wine in
Love plays such funny games
Dinner for one please, James
Close Madame's room, we've parted
Please, don't look so downhearted
Love plays such funny games
Seems my best friend told her of another
I had no chance to deny
You know there has never been another
Someday she'll find out the lie
Maybe she's not to blame
Leave me with silent hours
No, don't move her favorite flowers
Dinner for one please, James
Maybe she's not to blame
Leave me with silent hours
No, don't move her favorite flowers
Dinner for one please, James
The Madame will not be dining
Yes, you may bring the wine in
Love plays such funny games
Dinner for one please, James
Close Madame's room, we've parted
Please, don't look so downhearted
Love plays such funny games
Seems my best friend told her of another

You know there has never been another

Sweet And Gentle
I was sweet and gentle
Kind of sentimental
No one will deny it
I was once so quiet
And then one magic night, I learned to do the mambo
And now I'll never be the same
For I have really heard a crazy Latin combo
And my muchacho is to blame
How can I be gentle
Sweet and sentimental
While the music's playing
And my heart is swaying
I find that I am even dancing when I'm walking
I'm haunted by that Latin beat
I hear the rhythm start whenever we are talking
I do the mambo in my sleep
Please be sweet and gentle
Treat me sentimental
For I'm temperamental
When I'm doing the mambo with you
Kind of sentimental
No one will deny it
I was once so quiet
And then one magic night, I learned to do the mambo
And now I'll never be the same
For I have really heard a crazy Latin combo
And my muchacho is to blame
How can I be gentle
Sweet and sentimental
While the music's playing
And my heart is swaying
I find that I am even dancing when I'm walking
I'm haunted by that Latin beat
I hear the rhythm start whenever we are talking
I do the mambo in my sleep
Please be sweet and gentle
Treat me sentimental
For I'm temperamental
When I'm doing the mambo with you

Just An Old-Fashioned Girl
I'm just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mind
Not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I want an old fashioned car, a cerise Cadillac
Long enough to put a bowling alley in the back
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I'll stay weaving at my loom
Be no trouble to my groom
If he'll keep the piles of money mounting
In our cottage there will be
A soundproof nursery
Not to wake the baby while I'm counting
I like the old fashioned flowers, violets are for me -
Have them made in diamonds by the man at Tiffany
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I'm just a pilgrim at heart, oh so pure and genteel
Watch me in Las Vegas while I'm at the spinning wheel!
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I'll ask for such simple things when my birthday occurs:
Two apartment buildings that are labeled 'Hers' and 'Hers'
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I like Chopin and Bizet
And the songs of yesterday
String quartets and Polynesian carols
But the music that excels
Is the sound of oil wells
As they slurp, slurp, slurp into the barrels
Our little home will be quaint as an old parasol
And instead of carpets I'll have money wall to wall
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
Not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I want an old fashioned car, a cerise Cadillac
Long enough to put a bowling alley in the back
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I'll stay weaving at my loom
Be no trouble to my groom
If he'll keep the piles of money mounting
In our cottage there will be
A soundproof nursery
Not to wake the baby while I'm counting
I like the old fashioned flowers, violets are for me -
Have them made in diamonds by the man at Tiffany
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I'm just a pilgrim at heart, oh so pure and genteel
Watch me in Las Vegas while I'm at the spinning wheel!
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I'll ask for such simple things when my birthday occurs:
Two apartment buildings that are labeled 'Hers' and 'Hers'
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire
I like Chopin and Bizet
And the songs of yesterday
String quartets and Polynesian carols
But the music that excels
Is the sound of oil wells
As they slurp, slurp, slurp into the barrels
Our little home will be quaint as an old parasol
And instead of carpets I'll have money wall to wall
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire

Lazy Afternoon
It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zoomin'
And the tulip trees are bloomin'
And there's not another human in view
But us two.
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reapin'
In the meadow cows are sleepin'
And the speckled trout stop leapin' up stream
As we dream.
A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfoldin' like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still
You can hear the grass as it grows.
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, 'cept for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me
And the beetle bugs are zoomin'
And the tulip trees are bloomin'
And there's not another human in view
But us two.
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reapin'
In the meadow cows are sleepin'
And the speckled trout stop leapin' up stream
As we dream.
A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfoldin' like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still
You can hear the grass as it grows.
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, 'cept for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me

Lisbon Antigua
I gave my heart to you in old Lisbon that night
Under the spell of your charms
I felt your arms hold me so tight;
`Twas heaven to find such bliss in each kiss;
I lost my heart but I found one so true
In old Lisbon with you
It happened one night in Portugal
Lisbon was gay in the moonlight
The stars were shining above
When I found you, my love;
What is this strangeness, this splendor
All this myst'ry that makes me surrender?
Under the spell of your charms
I felt your arms hold me so tight;
`Twas heaven to find such bliss in each kiss;
I lost my heart but I found one so true
In old Lisbon with you
It happened one night in Portugal
Lisbon was gay in the moonlight
The stars were shining above
When I found you, my love;
What is this strangeness, this splendor
All this myst'ry that makes me surrender?

Lullaby of Birdland
Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips when we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Flyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips when we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Flyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

I'm a Funny Dame
I'm a funny dame, maybe I don't say I love you
Maybe sometimes I don't exactly show I love you
Though I'm not much at saying to you "Thank you"
I'm yours just the same
I'm a funny dame, even though my heart is filling
Guess I can't say why I can't be soft and clinging
Sure, I know it's wrong, but that's how I am
I'm a funny dame
(Instrumental Break)
I'm a funny dame, even though my heart is filling
Guess I can't say why I just can't be soft and clinging
Sure, I know it's wrong, but that's how I am
I'm a funny dame
Maybe sometimes I don't exactly show I love you
Though I'm not much at saying to you "Thank you"
I'm yours just the same
I'm a funny dame, even though my heart is filling
Guess I can't say why I can't be soft and clinging
Sure, I know it's wrong, but that's how I am
I'm a funny dame

A Woman Wouldnt Be a Woman
(Woman, woman, woman)
(Woman, woman, woman)
(Woman, woman, woman)
(Woman, woman, woman)
If she didn't roll her eyes
Tease you, feed you, tell you lies
Always act contrarywise
A woman wouldn't be a woman
If she didn't take your dough
Kiss you, coax you, make you blow
Always keep you on the go
A woman wouldn't be a woman
Well, you can't live with 'em, or without 'em
You never really know a thing about 'em
It's hard to believe that all that there is
Rag and bone and a hank o' hair
If she didn't make you sigh
Make you laugh and make you cry
Taunt you till the day you die
A woman wouldn't be a woman
Well, you can't live with 'em, or without 'em
You never really know a thing about 'em
It's hard to believe that all that there is
Rag and bone and a hank o' hair
If she didn't make you sigh
Make you laugh and make you cry
Taunt you till the day you die
A woman wouldn't be a woman
(No, a woman wouldn't be a woman)
(But since the World began)
If you didn't love 'em and want more of 'em
A man wouldn't be a man
(Woman, woman, woman)
(Woman, woman, woman)
(Woman, woman, woman)
If she didn't roll her eyes
Tease you, feed you, tell you lies
Always act contrarywise

Toujours Gai
My youth I shall never forget
But there's nothing I really regret
The years I have poured down the drain
Have sparkled like gold in champagne
It's cheerio my dearrio
Prance and pirouette
It's cheerio my dearrio
There's a life in me yet
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
I sing all my troubles away
I don't care to cry with a king
But with any old beggar I'll sing
I'll dance in the sun or the shade
To any old tune that is played
I'll sing 'neath a bleary-eyed moon
A rowdy and rollicking tune
But no time for sleeping have I
I'll sleep long enough when I die
It's cheerio my dearrio
Prance and pirouette
It's cheerio my dearrio
There's a life in me yet
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
I'll sing away my troubles
They'll vanish like bubbles
I'll sing all my troubles away
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai
(Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai)
But there's nothing I really regret
The years I have poured down the drain
Have sparkled like gold in champagne
It's cheerio my dearrio
Prance and pirouette
It's cheerio my dearrio
There's a life in me yet
Toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai, toujour gai

Careless Love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
You've fly through my head like wine
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
Love, oh love, oh careless love
In your clutches of desire
You've made me break a many true vow
Then you set my very soul on fire
Love, oh love, oh careless love
All my happiness bereft
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Trusted you now, it's too late
You've made me throw my old friend down
That's why I sing this song of hate
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Night and day, I weep and moan
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
For my sins, till judgment I'll atone
You've fly through my head like wine
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
Love, oh love, oh careless love
In your clutches of desire
You've made me break a many true vow
Then you set my very soul on fire
Love, oh love, oh careless love
All my happiness bereft
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Trusted you now, it's too late
You've made me throw my old friend down
That's why I sing this song of hate
Love, oh love, oh careless love

The Memphis Blues
Folks, I've just been down
Down to Memphis town
That's where the people smile
Smile on you all the while
Hospitality
They were good to me
I couldn't spend a dime
And had the grandest time
I went out a-dancing with a Tennessee dear
They had a fella there named Handy
With a band you should hear
And while the dancers gently swayed
All the band boys played
Real harmony
I never will forget
The tune that Handy called the Memphis Blues
They got a fiddler there
That always slickens his hair
And folks, he sure does pull some bow
And when the big bassoon
Seconds to the trombones croon
It moans just like a sinner on revival day
Hear me people, hear me people, hear me I pray
I'm gonna take a million lessons 'til I learn how to play
Because I seem to hear it yet
Simply can't forget that blues refrain
There's nothing like the Handy band
That played the Memphis blues so grand
That melancholy strain
Ever haunting refrain
Is like a morning sorrow song
Here comes the very part
That wraps it's spell around my heart
I can't forget the tune
That Handy called the Memphis Blues
I can't forget the tune
That Handy called the Memphis Blues
Down to Memphis town
That's where the people smile
Smile on you all the while
Hospitality
They were good to me
I couldn't spend a dime
And had the grandest time
I went out a-dancing with a Tennessee dear
They had a fella there named Handy
With a band you should hear
And while the dancers gently swayed

The tune that Handy called the Memphis Blues

And folks, he sure does pull some bow
And when the big bassoon

Hear me people, hear me people, hear me I pray
I'm gonna take a million lessons 'til I learn how to play
Because I seem to hear it yet
Simply can't forget that blues refrain
There's nothing like the Handy band
That played the Memphis blues so grand
That melancholy strain
Ever haunting refrain

That wraps it's spell around my heart

I can't forget the tune

Chantez-les bas
Down in Louisiana
Louisiana, land of a Creole suisse
Patwa, Mardi Gras, and romantic blues
Once I heard a lover
When work was over
Strum a Creole croon
To his lovey dovey
Underneath a dixie moon
I heard him say just so...
Chantez les ba
That means in Creole
Sing 'em low
I like that purty word
Chantez les ba
She liked the blues played sweetly and slow
Chantez les ba
I can't forget that serenade
And if you listen to me just for awhile
I'll try to sing for you just what he said
Oh, in the morning baby just 'fore day
In the morning just 'fore day
In the morning just 'fore day
New Orleans Hey Hey
Oh, in the morning baby just 'fore day
In the morning just 'fore day
In the morning just 'fore day
I'll come and get you and take you away
Far, far away
Chantez les ba
Far, far away
Chantez les ba

St. Louis Blues
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby, he's gone left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man around by her, if it wasn't for her and her
That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere
I got the St. Louis blues, blues as I can be
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint 'n rye
I love my man till the day I die
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby, he's gone left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man around by her, if it wasn't for her and her
That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere
I got the St. Louis blues, blues as I can be
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint 'n rye
I love my man till the day I die

Steal Away (Negro Spiritual)
Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus
Steal away, steal away home
I ain't got long to stay here
My Lord, He calls me
He calls me by the thunder
The trumpet sounds within-a my soul
I ain't got long to stay here
Green trees are bending
Po' sinner stand a-trembling
The trumpet sounds within-a my soul
I ain't got long to stay here
Steal away, steal away home
I ain't got long to stay here
My Lord, He calls me
He calls me by the thunder
The trumpet sounds within-a my soul
I ain't got long to stay here
Green trees are bending
Po' sinner stand a-trembling
The trumpet sounds within-a my soul
I ain't got long to stay here
