1.That's Entertainment
Written:Howard Deitz/Arthur Schwartz
The clown with his pants falling down or the dance that's a
dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean.
That's entertainment!
The lights on the lady in tights or the bride with a guy on the
side,
Or the ball where she gives him her all.
That's entertainment!
The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex,
a gay divorcee who is after her 'ex'.
It can be Oedipus Rex, where a chap kills his father
and causes a lot of bother.
The clerk who is thrown out of work by the boss,
Who is thrown for a loss by the skirt who is doing him dirt.
The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment.
2.Over the Rainbow
Lyrics:E.Y.'Yip'Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen
Someplace where there isn't any trouble...
...do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?
There must be. It's not a place you can get to
by a boat or a train. It's far, far away...
Behind the moon
Beyond the rain
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?
3.Old Devil Moon
Lyrics:E.Yip Harburg
Music:Burton Lane
I look at you and suddenly,
Something in your eyes I see;
Soon begins bewitching me.
It's that old devil moon;
That you stole from the skies.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
You and you glance;
Make this romance;
Too hot to handle.
Stars in the night;
Blazing their light;
Can't hold a candle;
To your razzle-dazzle.
You've got me flyin' high and wide;
On a magic carpet ride;
Full of butterflies inside.
Wanna cry, wanna croon,
Wanna laugh like a loon.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
Just when I think, I'm;
Free as a dove.
Old devil moon,
Deep in your eyes,
Blinds me with love.
4.Who Cares(As Long As You Care For Me)
Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Who cares if the sky cares to fall in the sea?
Who cares how history rates me?
Long as your kiss intoxicates me!
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee,
So long as I care for you,
And you care for me.
5.Just You Just Me
Lyrics:Raymond Klages
Music:Jesse Greer
Just you, just me, let's find a cozy spot, to cuddle and coo,
Just us, just me, I wish an awful lot to trouble with you,
We're gushing now, if need be,
What are your charms for? What are my arms for?
You use your imagination, with just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot with just wonderful you,
Hey, happy world, what are your charms for? what are my arms
for?
Use your imagination , just you, just me,
That's why I'll ever sigh, that's why I'll always try,
Loving wonderful you.
6.Down With Love
Lyrics:E.Y.Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen
Down with love the flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love the root of all midnight blues
Down with things that give you that well-known ping
Take that moon wrap it in cellophane
Down with love let's liquidate all its friends
Moon and June and roses and rainbow's ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love yes take it away, away
Away
Far away
Give it back to the birds and bees and the Viennese
Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs and down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Down with love
Down with love let's liquidate all its friends
The moons the Junes the roses and rainbow's ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love yes take it away, away
Far away
So very, very far away
Give it back to the birds and the bees and especially the
Viennese
Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs and down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Down with love
7.Alone Together
Alone together, beyond the croud,
Above the world, we're not to proud
To cling together,We're strong
As long as we're together.
Alone together, the blinding rain
The starless night, were not in vain;
For we're together, and what is there
To fear together.
Our love is as deep as the sea,
Our love is as great as a love can be,
And we can weather the great unknown,
If we're alone together.
8.If I Love Again
Lyrics:Paul Whiteman
Music:Paul Whiteman
If I love again, Tho' it's someone new,
If I love again, It will still be you.
In someone elses fond embrace.
If I love again, I'll find other charms,
But I'll make believe, You are in my arms.
And tho' my lips whisper 「I Love You」
My heart will not be true,
I'll be loving you, ev'ry time I love again.
9.How Long Has This Been Going On?
Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
I could cry some chin-chin tears
Where have I been all these years
A little while come on tell me now
How long has this been going on
What a kick and how I buzz
My son you click like nobody does
Listen sweet I repeat
How long has this been going on
CHORUS:
I feel like I could melt right into heaven
I've heard
And now I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once and then again once more
God what a dunce I was before
What a break for heaven sake
How long has this been going on
Chorus
10.Among My Souvenirs
Lyrics:Edgar Leslie
Music:Horatio Nichols
There's nothing left for me of days that used to be,
I live in memory among my souvenirs.
Some letters tied with blue, photograph or two,
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs.
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest,
And though they do their best to give me consolation,
I count them all apart and as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs.
(a few bars)
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest,
And though they do their best to give me consolation,
I count them all apart and as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs.
11.April Showers
Lyrics:B.G.Desylva
Music:Louis Silvers
Though April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May
So if it's raining, have no regrets
Because it isn't raining rain, you know
It's raining violets
And when you see clouds upon the hills
You soon will see crowds of daffodils
So keep on looking for a bluebird and listening for his songs
Whenever April showers come along.
12.More Than You Know
Written:Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans
Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I am growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
Give you the break you need
More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find, you're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
I need you so
Much more than you'll ever know
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it
Oh how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry
If you got tired, and said good-bye
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know
13.Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe
Lyrics:E.Yip Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen
It seem like happiness is jus' a thing called Joe
He got a smile that make the lilac wanna grow
He got a way that make the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by
Sometime the cabin gloomy and the table bare
Soon he kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Trouble fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good? That's all I has to know
Seem like happiness is jus' a thing called Joe
(repeat above)
Little Joe, little Joe... little Joe
14.After You've Gone
Written:Henry Creamer/Turner Layton
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Someday, when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You're gonna feel blue, and you're gonna feel sad
You're gonna feel bad
And you'll miss, and you'll miss,
And you'll miss the bestest pal you ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
But baby, think what you're doin'
I'm gonna haunt you so, I'm gonna taunt you so
It's gonna drive you to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away.
15.I Get The Blues When It Rains
I get the blues when it rains
Oh! them mean old blues when it rains
Each little drop fallin' on my window pane
Reminds me of them tears I shed in vain
I sit and wait for the sun
To shine down on me once again
Oh! It rained when I found you
It rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues when it rains
(Instrumental)
Well, it rained when I found you
Oh! it rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues
That's why I get the blues
I get those goddamn blues
That's why I get the blues when it rains
16.You'll Never Walk Alone
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.
