1.A Fine Romance
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, i'll take jello
You're calmer than the seals
In the arctic ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
I've never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance
2.A Foggy Day
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
3.Be Careful, It's My Heart
Be careful, it's my heart,
It's not my watch you're holding, it's my heart.
It's not the note that i sent you that you quickly burn,
It's not a book i lent you that you never return.
Remember, it's my heart.
The heart with which so willingly i part
It's yours to take, to keep or break,
But please, before you start,
Be careful, it's my heart.
4.Coffee Song, The
Writer(s):lyrics:bob hilliard
music:dick miles
Way down among brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in brazil
You can't get cherry soda
'cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are i'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in brazil
No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in santos all say no no no
The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in brazil
You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in brazil
And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in brazil
So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in brazil
5.I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm
I've got my love to keep me warm,
Off with my overcoat,
Off with my glove,
I need no overcoat,
I'm burning with love.
My heart's on fire,
The flame goes higher,
But i can weather the storm,
What do i care how much it may storm,
I've got my love to keep me warm.
6.In The Still Of The Night
Writer(s):cole porter
In the still of the night
As i gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world lies in slumber
Oh the times without number
When i say to you
Do you love me
Just like i love you
Are you my life to be
That dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Will it fade way out of sight
Just like that moon growing dim
Way out on the rim of the hill
In the still of the night
7.Let's Face The Music And Dance
Writer(s):irving berlin
There may be trouble ahead
But while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and
love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have that
chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon
Humming a different tune - and then...
There may be teardrops to shed
So (but) while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music)
and love and romance
(let's face the music and dance, dance)
(let's face the music - let's here that music)
Let's face the music and dance
8.Let's Fall In Love
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feeling, it's a feeling i'm concealing - i don't know
why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi
But i adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, i am falling, love is calling - why be shy
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
9.Ring-a-ding-ding
Writer(s):cahn/van heusen
Life is dull
It's nothing but one big lull
Then presto you do a skull
And find that you're reeling
She sighs and you're feeling
Like a toy on a string
And your heart goes: 'ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding,
ring-a-ding ding'
How could that funny face
That seemed to be common place
Project you right in to space
Without any warning
Don't know if its morning, night-time, winter or spring
What's the difference
Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding
She takes (grabs) your hand - this captivating creature
And like its planned - you're in the phone book
Looking (hunting) for the nearest preacher
Life is swell
You're off to that small hotel
And somewhere a village bell
Will sound in the steeple
Announcing to people
Love's the loveliest thing
And the bell goes: 'ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding,
ring-a-ding ding'
10.When I Take My Sugar To Tea
When i take my sugar to tea,
All the boys are jealous of me,
'cause i never take her where the gang goes,
When i take my sugar to tea.
I'm a rowdy dowdy,
That's me, she's a high hat baby, that's she,
So i never take her where the gang goes,
When i take my sugar to tea.
Every sunday afternoon,
We forget about our cares,
Rubbing elbows at the ritz,
With those millionaires.
When i take my sugar to tea,
I'm as ritzy as i can be,
'cause i never take her where the gang goes,
When i take my sugar to tea.
(musical interlude)
Every sunday afternoon,
We forget about those cares,
Rubbing elbows at the ritz,
With those zillionaires.
When i take my sugar to tea,
I'm as ritzy as i can be,
'cause i never take her where the gang goes,
When i take, take my sugar to tea.
11.You'd Be So Easy To Love
You'd be so easy to love
Easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep the home fire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together, that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
'cause you'd be so easy to love
12.You And The Night And The Music
You and the night and the music fill me with flaming desire,
Setting my being completely on fire!
You and the night and the music thrill me but will we be one
After the night and the music are done?
Until the pale light of dawning and daylight,
Our hearts will be throbbing guitars,
Morning may come without warning,
And take away the stars.
If we must live for the moment,
Love till the moment is through!
After the night and the music die,
Will i have you?
