BEI MIR BIST DU SCHOEN
(S. Secunda, S. Cahn, S. Chaplin, J. Jacobs, D. Fields, J. McHugh) Cahn Music Co/WB Music Corp Aldi Music Co/Cotton Club Publishing (BMI/ASCAP)

Of all the boys I’ve known and I’ve known some
‘Til I first met you I was lonesome
You came in sight and my heart grew light
The world was new to me

You’re swell I’ll admit you
Deserve expressions that fit you
Racked my brain hoping to explain
Things you do to me

Bei mir bist du schoen
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen
Means that you’re grand

Bei mir bist du schoen
Again and again
Means you’re the fairest in the land

I could say bella bella
Even say wunderbar
Each language only goes to show
How wonderful you are

I try to explain
Bei mir bist du schoen
So kiss me, say you’ll understand

Zulu man is feeling blue, hear his heart beat a little tattoo
(Diga diga doo diga doo doo, diga diga doo diga doo)
You love me and I love you, when you love it’s natural to
(Diga diga doo diga doo doo, diga diga doo diga doo)
Well I’m so diga diga doo by nature (by nature)
If you don’t say diga diga doo to your mate you’ll lose that papa
Let those funny people smile, how can there be a virgin isle
(Diga diga doo diga doo doo, diga diga doo diga doo)

Bei mir bist du schoen
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen
Means that you’re grand

Bei mir bist du schoen
Again and again
Means that you’re the fairest in the land
I could say bella bella
Even say wunderbar
Each language only goes to show
How wonderful you are

I try to explain
Bei mir bist du schoen
Kiss me, kiss me

Kiss me, baby
Bei mir bist du schoen

GOIN’ CRAZY WITH THE BLUES
(A. Razaf, J.C. Johnson) EMI Mills Music Inc./Razaf Music (ASCAP)

My head is reeling
Oh what a feeling
There’s something hurts my brain
Feel just like screaming
I’m like a demon
I swear I’ll go insane

If you knew what I gone through
You would feel the same way too

I’m goin’ crazy with the blues
Since I have heard heartbreaking news
My honey man’s done thrown me down
Now he’s spreading all his sugar every place in town

And now he’s holding out on me
He will not see me privately
When I think of things I did to make him glad
Gave him absolutely everything I had
If that’s not enough to drive a woman mad
I’m goin’ crazy with the blues, oh me
Crazy with the blues

I’m goin’ crazy with the blues
Since I heard heartbreaking news
My honey man done thrown me down
Now he’s spreading all his sugar
All his sugar
All his sugar yeah

And now he’s holding out on me
He will not see me privately
When I think of things I did to make him glad
Gave him absolutely everything that I had
If it’s not enough to drive a woman mad
I’m goin’ crazy with the blues, oh me
Crazy with the blues

WAKE UP IN PARIS
(E. Bougerol) E.G.M. Bougerol Music (BMI)

I want to wake up in Paris
As the city greets the day
I want to wake up in Paris
And watch the sun rise on the quais

The magic of a bridge above the Seine is rare
And as she flows, it seems she knows we’re there

I want to wake up in Paris
And stroll along a rue
I want to melt into Paris
And lose a day or two

I can’t explain why this refrain
Makes my heart feel so new
I want to wake up in Paris with you

A rainy day, a small café, the world stands still
The city glows as though she always will

I want to wake up in Paris
I’ve been away too long
When just a single day in Paris
Makes all other days feel wrong

I can’t explain why this refrain
Makes my heart feel so new
I want to wake up in Paris with you

ZAZOU {SWEET SUE}
(V. Young, W. Harris, E. Bougerol/new French lyrics) Shapiro Bernstein & Co. (ASCAP)/E.G.M. Bougerol Music (BMI)

Que mon cœur chavire
Pas grand chose à dire
Zazou, c’est vous

Plus mignonne que la rose
Quand elle s’est déclose
Ah Zazou, oh oui c’est vous

Je veux passer ma vie à lui dire merci
Car chaque jour me semble plus doux

Dans tous les coins du ciel
Il y a pas d’étoile si belle
Ah ma Zazou, ah oui c’est vous

Que mon cœur chavire
Pas grand chose à dire
Zazou, c’est vous

Et plus mignonne que la rose
Quand elle s’est déclose
Ah ma Zazou, oh oui c’est vous

J’ai parcouru la terre, mais rien à faire
C’est elle pour moi jusqu’au bout

Dans tous les coins du ciel
Il y a pas d’étoile aussi belle
Ah ma Zazou, oh oui c’est vous

I CAN’T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE
(D. Fields, J. McHugh) Aldi Music Co/Cotton Club Publishing (BMI/ASCAP)

I can’t give you anything but love, baby
That’s the only thing I’ve got plenty of, baby
Dream awhile, scheme awhile, you’re sure to find
Happiness and I guess all the things you always pined for

Gee I’d like to see you looking swell, baby
With diamond bracelets that Woolworth’s doesn’t sell
But ’til that lucky day you know darn well, my baby
I can’t give you anything but love
But love

Dream awhile, scheme awhile, you’re sure to find
Happiness and I guess all the things you always pined for
Gee I’d like to see you looking swell, my baby
With diamond bracelets that Woolworth’s doesn’t sell

But ’til that lucky day you know darn well, my baby
I can’t give you anything but love
No, I can’t give you
Anything but love

YOUR FEET’S TOO BIG
(F. Fisher, A. Benson) Morley Music Co./SonyATV TunesLLC (ASCAP)

Up in Harlem at a table for two
There were four of us: me, your big feet and you
From your ankles up, you sure look sweet,
But from there down, there’s just too much feet

Your feet’s too big
Don’t want you ’cause your feet’s too big
Can’t use you ’cause your feet’s too big
I hate you ’cause your feet’s too big

Wah dee doo dah
Rah nah nah nyow
Where d’ya get them

Oh now, you know I like you, I think you’re nice
You got the stuff to take a girl to paradise
I like your face, I love your rig
But oh baby, those things are too big

Your feet’s too big
Don’t want you ’cause your feet’s too big
I can’t use you, they’re just too big
Mad at you, ’cause your feet’s too something

Now when you go and die, no-one’s gonna sob
The undertaker’s gonna have quite a job
You’re gonna look funny, when they lay you in the casket
Oh look at those feet, stickin’ up out the basket

‘Cause your feet’s too big
Don’t want you ’cause your feet’s too big
I can’t use you ’cause your feet’s too big
Just hate you ’cause your feet’s too big

Yeah your feet’s too big
This is a song about your feet now baby
‘Cause they’re just too big
And you know what they say about big feet don’t you?
Big shoes

HONEYSUCKLE ROSE
(T. “Fats” Waller, A. Razaf) Anne Rachel Music Corp./Razaf Music (ASCAP)

Every honeybee fills with jealousy
I don’t blame them goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
When you’re passing by, flowers droop and sigh
You’re much sweeter goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Don’t buy sugar no
You just have to touch my cup
Don’t need sugar no
You’re sweet when you stir it up

When I’m taking sips from your tasty lips
You’re confection goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Every honeybee fills up with jealousy
I don’t blame them goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
When you go by flowers droop and sigh
You’re much sweeter I suppose
Honeysuckle rose
You just have to tap my cup
So sweet when you stir it up
When I’m taking sips from your sweet lips
You’re confection twinkle toes
Honeysuckle rose

PETITE FLEUR
(S. Bechet, F. Bonifay) Warner Chappell Music France (SACEM)

Si les fleurs
Qui bordent les chemins
Se fanaient toutes demain
Je garderais au cœur

Celle qui
S’allumait dans tes yeux
Lorsque je t’aimais tant
Au pays merveilleux
De nos seize printemps
Petite fleur d’amour
Tu fleuriras toujours
Pour moi

Quand la vie
Par moment me trahit
Tu restes mon bonheur
Petite fleur

Sur mes vingt ans
Je m’arrête un moment
Pour respirer
Ce parfum que j’ai tant aimé

Dans mon cœur
Tu fleuriras toujours
Au grand jardin d’amour
Petite fleur

Au grand jardin d’amour
Petite fleur
Au grand jardin d’amour
Petite fleur

WHAT A LITTLE MOONLIGHT CAN DO
(H.M. Woods) Campbell Connelly Inc./Warner Bros. Inc. (ASCAP)

Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you
You’re in love
Your heart’s aflutter
All day long
You only stutter
‘Cause your poor tongue
Can’t utter the words “I love you”

Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Wait a while, ’til the moonbeam comes peeping through
You’ll get bold
You can’t resist him
And all you’ll say
Once you’ve kissed him is
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you

Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Wait a while, ’til that moonbeam comes peeping through
You’ll get bold
You can’t resist him
And all you’ll say
Once you’ve kissed him is
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you

Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you
Wait a while, ’til that moonbeam comes peeping through
You’ll get bold
You can’t resist him
And all you’ll say
Once you’ve kissed him is
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you

‘Cause ooh what a little moonlight can do

LET’S GO
(lyrics E. Bougerol, music E. Palazzo) E.G.M. Bougerol Music (BMI)/Evan Justin Palazzo (BMI)

Why don’t we get away to the ocean
There’s no sweeter potion for love, dear
We’ll dig for clams and
Scribble each other’s name in the sand

I know a little shack with a back porch
Up in the mountains where fireflies
Usher evening in
Wonder where all those stars have been

Life here in town
Has gone and worn us down
It’s time we bought ourselves
A ticket out of Frownsville

I see us by a lake in a cabin
That just so happens to come with
A boat for two
We’ll paddle ourselves a rendez-vous

Let’s go, we’ll find a new place
A perfect me-and-you place

Let’s get a little plot in a spot
That could have been painted by Rockwell
We’ll plant some peas, and
Sleep until anytime we please
Figure out how to climb the trees
Get reacquainted with the breeze
Follow our sweetest reveries

I DON’T STAND A GHOST OF A CHANCE (WITH YOU)
(V. Young, N. Washington., B. Crosby) Chappell Co. Inc/EMI Mills Music Inc./Hinene Catherine (ASCAP)

I need your love so badly
I want you oh so madly
But I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I’d found you
But other loves surround you
And I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you’d surrender just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover that I’m the lover who’s meant for you
And I’ll be true

So what’s the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
And I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you’d surrender just for a tender kiss or two (or three)
You might discover that I am the lover who’s meant for you
And I’ll be true

So what’s the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
And I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you
With you

COMES LOVE {L’AMOUR S’EN FOUT}
(S. Stept, C. Tobias, L. Brown; new French lyrics E. Bougerol)

Que tu m’aimes, ça te détruira
Que je t’aimes, et tout le tralala
L’amour, l’amour il s’en fout

Toutes les histoires se termineront mal
Toutes les Cendrillons n’iront pas au bal
Et l’amour, l’amour s’en fout

Cherche pas, tu verras
C’est toujours la même chanson
Cherche pas, tu trouveras
Que d’l’orage à l’horizon

C’est pas la peine de se dire tous ces je t’aime
On finit seul, le cœur brisé quand même
Et l’amour, l’amour s’en fout

Come a rainstorm, put some rubbers on your feet
Come a snowstorm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done

Come a afire, you’ll know just what to do
Blow a tire, get another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done

So don’t try hiding, there isn’t any use
You’ll start sliding when your heart turns on the juice

Come a headache, you’ll lose it in a day
Come a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes love, nothing can be done

MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTLE
(E. Bougerol) E.G.M. Bougerol Music (BMI)

Meet me at the bottom of the bottle, baby
My mind’s too clear for talking now
I’ve seen you here before, and I’ve got no plans to go
You’ve seen me here before, but I wasn’t alone

Put another nickel in the jukebox, baby
Play something happy, make things feel light
Say you like my dress, I wore it just to impress
The man who’d take me home tonight

Well my mama said that drinking alone
Ain’t a ladylike thing to do
But mama didn’t know that my man would go
And leave me to drink for two

Meet me at the bottom of the bottle, baby
You seem the kind who’d treat a girl right
You missed me in my prime
But I’m here ’til closing time
I’ll be yours forever tonight

Well my mama said that drinking alone
Ain’t a ladylike thing to do
But mama didn’t know that my love would go
And leave me to drink for two

Meet me at the bottom of the bottle, baby
You seem the kind who’d treat a girl right
You missed me in my prime
But I’m here ’til closing time
I’ll be yours forever tonight
