1.My Funny Valentine

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Patrick William

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?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day


2.The Girl Next Door

Written:Ralph Blane/Hugh Martin
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

The moment I saw her face, I knew she was just my style.
My only regret is we've never met for I dream of her all the
while,
But she doesn't know I exist, no matter how I persist.
So it's clear to see there's no hope for me,
Though I live at fifty-one thirty-five Kensngton Avenue,
And she lives at fifty-one thirty three.

How can I ignore the girl next door, I love her more than I can
say.
Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me,
And she never sees me glance her way.
And I thought I'm heartsore, the girl next door
Affection for me won't display.
I just adore her so I can't ignore her, the girl next door.


3.A Foggy Day

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

A foggy day, in London town
It had me low, and it had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
The British Museum, had lost its charm

How long I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles, it hadn't past
And suddenly, I saw you standing right there
And in foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere


4.Like Someone In Love

Lyrics:Johnny Burke
Music:Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Lately,
I find myself gazing at stars,
hearing guitars like someone in love.

Sometimes the things I do astound me,
mostly whenever you're around me.

Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
bump into things like someone in love.

Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
and feeling like someone in love.


5.I Get A Kick Out Of You

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
The exception I know is the case
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, they may go for cocaine.
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically, too.
Yet I get a kick out of you.

I get a kick every time I see
You standing there before me.
I get a kick though it's clear to see
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.
Yet I get a kick - um you give me a boot - I get a kick out of
you.


6.Little Girl Blue


7.They Can't Take That Away From Me

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Patrick William

There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can't take that away from me

We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No they can't take that away from me


8.Violets For Your Furs

Written:Tom Adair/Matt Dennis
Arranger:George Siravo

It was winter in Manhattan, falling snow flakes filled the air,
The streets were covered with a film of ice,
But a little simple magic that I learned about somewhere,
Changed the weather all around, just within a thrice.
I bought you violets for your furs and it was spring for a
while, remember?
I bought you violets for your furs and there was April in that
December.
The snow drifted down and the flowers, and that is where it lay.
The snow looked like dew and the blossoms as on a summer day.
I bought you violets for your furs and there was blue in the
wintry sky,
You pinned my violets to your furs and gave a lift to the crowds
passing by,
You smiled at me so sweetly, since then one thought occurs,
That we fell in love completely, the day I bought you violets
for your furs.


9.Just One Of Those Things

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle


It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
It was one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
It was one of those things

If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
When we started jumpin' town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, good-bye and amen
Here's hopin' we'll meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things


It was just, just, just, just
It turned out to be one of those grabbin' nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings

Yeah--ahh,
If we'd thought a bit 'bout the end of it
When we started to bust up the town
We'd have been aware that this love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, ta-ta, so long and you might
even add 'Amen'
Here's hopin' we'll do it again


It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

13.Taking A Chance On Love

Written:John Latouche/Vernon Duke/Ted Fetter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Here I go again, I hear those trumpets blow again.
All aglow again , takin' a chance on love.
Here I slide again, about to take that ride again.
Starry-eyed again, takin' a chance on love.

I thought that cards were a frame-up, I never would try.
Now I'm taking that game up and the ace of hearts is high.
Things are mending now, I see a rainbow blending now.
We'll have a happy ending now, takin' a chance on love.

Here I slip again, about to take that trip again.
I got that grip again, takin' a chance on love.
Now I prove again that I can make life move again.
Um - I'm in the groove again, takin' a chance on love.

I walk around with a horse shoe, in clover I lie.
And brother rabbit of course you better kiss your ... foot
good-bye.
On that ball again I'm ridin' for a fall again.
I'm gonna give my all again takin' a chance on love.


14.Jeepers Creepers

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harry Warren
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those eyes?
Gosh all git-up, how'd you get so lit up?
Gosh all git up, how'd it get that size?
Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on,
Woe is me, got to put my cheaters on.
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Oh those weepers, how they hypnotize!
Where'd you get those eyes?


15.Get Happy

Lyrics:The Koehler
Music:Harold Arlen

Pack up your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day

The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land

We're headin' 'cross the river
Gonna wash our sins in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side

Forget your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day

The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land

We're headin' 'cross the river
Wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side


We're headin' 'cross the river
Wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side

Forget your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase your cares away!!
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day


16.All Of Me

Written:Seymour Simons/Gerald Marks
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

All of me, why not take all of me?
Can't you see I'm no good without you?
Take my lips, I want to lose them.
Take my arms, I'll never use them.

You're good-bye left me with eyes that cry.
How can I get along without you?
You took the part that once was my heart,
So why not, why not take all of me?

All of me, come on, get all of me.
Can't you see I'm just a mess without you?
Take my lips, I want to lose them.
Get a piece of these arms, I'll never use them.

You're good-bye left me with eyes that cry.
How can I ever make it without you?
You know, you've got the part used to be my heart,
So why not, why not take all of me?
