1. _ Mean To Me
(r. turk/f. ahlert)
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me
Gee, honey it seems to me
You love to see me crying
I don't know why i stay home
Each night when you left all alone
Singing the blues and crying
You treat me coldly
Each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever you're...
Mean to...

2. _ Them There Eyes
(m. pinkard/w. tracy/d. tauber)
I fell in love with you
The first time i looked into
Them there eyes
'cause you have a certain
Little cute way of flirting with
Them there eyes
They make me feel so happy
They make me feel so blue
I'm falling, no stalling
In a great big way for you
My heart is jumping
You started something with
Them there eyes
You better look out
Little brown eyes
If you're wise
They sparkle, they bubble
Gonna get you in a whole lotta trouble
Ooh baby, them there eyes

3. _ Don't Explain
(b. holiday/a. herzog, jr.)
Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain
Quiet don't explain
What is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that i love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
For i'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And i know you cheat
Right or wrong don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain

4. _ You've Changed
(b. carey/c. fisher)
You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed
You've changed
Your kiss is now so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed
You've forgotten the words
I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise you ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angel i once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now. you've changed

5. _ Love Is Here To Stay
(g. gershwin/i. gershwin)
It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to stay
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to
Our love is here to
Our love is here to stay

6. _ The Man I Love
(g. gershwin/i. gershwin)
Someday he'll come along
The man i love
And he'll be big and strong
The man i love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
Then in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe he'll come sunday
Maybe monday, maybe not
Still i'm sure he'll come one day
Maybe tuesday will be
My good news day
We'll built a little home
Just meant for two
From which i'll never roam
Oh, what would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man i love

7. _ All Of Me
(g. simons/g. marks)
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 loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can i go on, dear, without you
You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me
Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can i go on, dear, without you
You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me

8. _ Strange Fruit
(l. allan)
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots
Black bodies swingin' in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
And the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is the fruit
For the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

9. _ Lady Sings The Blues
(b. holiday/h. nicholas)
Lady sings the blues
She got them bad
She feels so sad
Wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about
The blues ain't nothing
But a pain in your heart
When you got a bad start
You and your man have to part
Lady sings the blues...

10. _ Fine And Mellow
(b. holiday)
My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man, he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That i've ever seen
He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things that you know is wrong
But if you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
If you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Some times when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

11. _ My Man (mon Homme)
(m. yvain/a. willemetz/j. charles)
It's caused me a lot
But there's one thing that i got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tied you bet
All of that i'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But i love him
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But i love him
I don't no why i should
He isn't true
He beats me to
What can i do?
Oh my man, i love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right
What's the difference if i say
I'll go away
When i know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
What's the difference if i say
I'll go away
When i know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more

12. _ Goodmorning Heartache
(i. higgenbotham/e. drake/d. fisher)
Goodmorning heartache
You all gloomy sight
Goodmorning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I tossed and turned
Until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish i'd forget you
But you're here to stay
It seems i met you
When my love went away
Now every day i start by
Saying to you
Goodmorning heartache, what's new?
Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those monday blues
Straight through sunday blues
Goodmorning heartache
Here we go again
Goodmorning heartache
You're the one who knew me well
Might as well get used to you
Hangin' around
Goodmorning heartache
Sit down

13. _ What A Little Moonlight Can Do
(h. woods)
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you
You're in love
Your hearts a flutter
And all day long you only shutter
'cause your poor tongue
Just won't utter the words "i love you"
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
'till the little moonbeams comes peeking through
You get bold
You can't resist him
All you say
When you kissed him is
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do

14. _ I Cried For You (now It's Your Turn To Cry Over Me)
(a. lyman/g. arnheim/a. freed)
I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing i'm learning
I cried for you
What a fool i used to be
Now i found two eyes
A little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer
I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing i'm learning
I cried for you
What a fool i used to be
Now i found two eyes
Just a little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer
That i cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

15. _ God Bless The Child
(b. holiday/a. herzog, jr.)
Them that's god shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But god bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But god bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends
They don't come no more
Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But god bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

16. _ Gimme A Pigfoot (and A Bottle Of Beer)
(w. wilson)
Up in harlem every saturday night
Were the highbrows get together, just to write
They all congregate at an allnite hack
What they do is ooh papa dah
Ol' hannah brown, way cross town
Gets full of corn and starts brining 'em down
And at the break of day
You can hear ol' hannah say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me daddy, move right down
I feel just like i wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm, when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause i don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy, move right in
Feel just like i wanna shop
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna do the huckabuck until the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me 'cause i don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of beer

17. _ 't Ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do
(p. graninger/e. robbins)
There ain't nothin' i can do
Or nothing i can say
That folks don't criticize me
But i'm gonna do what i want to anyway
And i don't care just what people say
If i should take a notion to jump into the ocean
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
If i go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
If my man ain't got no money and i say take all mine honey
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
If i give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
I'd rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
I swear i won't call no coppa if i'm beat up by my poppa
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
Nobody's bizness, ain't nobody's bizness
Nobody's biznes if i do

18. _ Lover Man (oh, Where Can You Be?)
(j. davis/j. sherman/r. ramirez)
I don't know why
But i'm feeling so sad
I long to try
Something i never had
Never had no kissing
Ooh, what i've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be
The night is cold
And i'm so all alone
I'll give my soul
Just to call you my own
Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be
I've heard it say
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed
With the prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be
I've heard it say
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed
With the prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be
