1.Night And Day

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Don Costa

Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you day and night

Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night

Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day


Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you day and night

Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
Silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night

Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day


2.I Wish I Were In Love Again

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

The sleepless nights, the daily fights
The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again

The broken dates, the endless waits
The lovely loving and the hateful hates
The conversation with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again

No more pain, no more strain
Now I'm sane, but I would rather be punch-drunk

The pulled out fur of cat and cur
The fine mis-mating of a him and her
I've learned my lesson but I wish I were in love again

The furtive sigh, the blackened eye
The words: 'I'll love you 'til the day I die'
The self-deception that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again

When love congeals it soon reveals
The faint aroma of performing seals
The double-crossing of a pair of heels
I wish I were in love again

No, no more care, no, no despair
Now I'm all there now but I'd rather be punch-drunk

Believe me, sir, I much prefer
The classic battle of a him and her
I don't like quiet and I wish I were in love again
In love again
In love again


3.I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'


4.I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plans


5.Nice Work If You Can Get It

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Neal Hefti

Verse:

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love and you won't regret it
That's the best work of all, if you can get it

Chorus:

Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It's nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?


6.Stars Fell On Alabama

Written:Mitchell Parish/Frank Perkins
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
'n' stars fell on Alabama last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
While stars fell on Alabama last night

I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me

My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

We lived our drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fractured 'bama last night

I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me

My heart beat just like a hammer
Arms wound around you tight
While stars fell on Alabama last night


7.No One Ever Tells You

Written:Carroll Coates/Hub Atwood
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

No one ever tells you what's like to love and lose,
How it feels to waken and have breakfast with the blues,
How to go on living, how to face another day,
No one ever tells you the way.

No one ever tells you how it feels to walk alone,
Listening for those footsteps through the echo of your own.
Suddenly it hits you all those dreams not worth a dime,
Cause no one ever tells you in time.
Long before the icy winds of winter,
Autumn tells the swallows, time to fly,
Why did she pretend till the bitter end
Till it broke my heart to say goodbye.

And no one ever tells you that it's just another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.

(instrumental)

No one ever tells you that it's just another fling,
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.
It never comes easy, no one ever tells you before.


8.I Won't Dance

Lyrics:Jimmy Mchugh/Dorothy Fields
Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Nelson Riddle/Neal Hefti

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do

You know what, you're lovely
You know what, you're so lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos

and that's why
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance,
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance

I won't dance, don't ask me,
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let me feet do things that they want to do

You know what, you're lovely,
Ring-a-ding-ding, you're lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos

and that's why
I won't dance, I won't dance
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance!!


9.Lonesome Road


10.At Long Last Love

Written:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle/Neal Hefti/Billy May

Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?

Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long last love?

Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup, or is it merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?

Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?
Is it a fancy, not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long long long last love?


11.You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To


12.I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good


13.From This Moment On

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter

From this moment on
You for me, dear
Only two for tea, dear
From this moment on

From this happy day
No more blue songs
Only hoop-dee-doo songs
From this moment on

For you've got the love I need so much
You've got the skin that I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got those sweet lips to kiss me goodnight

From this moment on
You and I, babe
We'll be ridin' high, babe
Every care is gone
From this moment on

From this moment on
You for me, dear
Only two for tea, dear
From this moment on

From, from this happy day
No more blue songs
Only hoop-dee-doo songs
From this moment on

For you've got the love that I need so much
Yeah, you've got the kind of skin that I love to touch
And you've got the arms that can hold me tight
You've got those lovely lips just to kiss me goodnight

From this moment on
You and I, babe
We'll be ridin' high, babe
Every one of our cares are gone
From this moment
From this very moment
From this moment on


14.If I Had You

Written:Reg Connelly/Jimmy Campbell/Ted Shapiro
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the gray skies to blue
If I had you

I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
I could start my life anew
If I had you

I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side

I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothin' I couldn't do
If I had you


I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burnin' desert
If I had you by my side

I could be a king uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothin' I couldn't do
If I had you

Baby, if I had you


15.Oh! Look At Me Now

Lyrics:John Devries
Music:Joe Bushkin
Arranger:Sy Oliver/Nelson Riddle

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than Casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest

So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

And I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get form your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than Casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest

So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
Look at me now!


16.The Lady Is A Tramp

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Billy Byers

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She loves the theater, but doesn't come late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn'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 the lady is a tramp

She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's o'k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to Harlem, in Lincolns or Fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp
