1. _ It's All Right With Me
Writer(s): cole porter
It's the wrong time, and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
It's not her face, but such a charming face
That it's all right with me
It's the wrong song, in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile, but such a lovely smile
That it's all right with me
You can't know how happy i am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone i'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone, too?
It's the wrong game, with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips, but they're such tempting lips
That, if some night, you are free
Then it's all right, yes, it's all right with me

2. _ If I Should Lose You
Writer(s): robin/rainger
If i should lose you
The stars would fall from the sky
If i should lose you
Leaves would wither and die
The birds in may-time - they'd sing a mournful refrain
And i would wander around - hating the sound of rain
With you beside me
The rose would bloom in the snow
With you beside me
No winds of winter would blow
I gave you my love - and i was living a dream
But living would seem - in vain if i
(hating the rain - if i)
(all is in vain if i)
If i ever lost you

3. _ How Do You Keep The Music Playing
Writer(s): legrand/bergman
How do you keep the music playing
How do you make it last
How do keep the song from fading
Too fast
How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way
How do you not run out of new things
To say
And since you know we're always changing
How can it be the same
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear her name
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day
To make it better as it goes
With any luck than i suppose
The music never ends

4. _ Stormy Weather
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and i ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time
Every time
So weary all of the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and then they met me
If she stays away
That old rocking chair's bound to get me
All i do is pray
The lord above will let me
Just walk in that sun again
Can't go on
Everything i had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and i ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time

5. _ Mack The Knife
Writer(s): weill/brecht/blitzstein
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows 'em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet pillows begin to spread
Fancy gloves though has macheath dear
So there's never, never one trace of red
On the sidewalk, one sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone be mack the knife
From a tugboat, on the river going slow
A cement bag is dropping on down
You know that cement is for the weight dear
You can make a large bet mackie's back in town
My man louis miller, he split the scene babe
After drawing out all the bread from his stash
Now macheath spends like a pimp, dear
Do you suppose our boy, he's done something rash
Old satchmo, louis armstrong, bobby darrin
Did this song nice, lady ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
That old blue eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new
But with this big band, jumping behind me
Swinging hard, jack, i now i can't lose
When i tell you, all about mack the knife babe
It's an offer, you can never refuse
We got patrick williams, bill miller playing that piano
And this great big band, bringing up the rear
All the band cats, in this band now
They make the greatest sounds, you're ever gonna hear
Oh sookie taudry, jenny diver, polly peachum, old miss lulu brown
Hey the line forms, on the right dear
Now that macheath's back in town
You'd better lock your doors, and call the law
Because macheath's back in town

6. _ Hundred Years From Today, A
Writer(s): j.young/washington/v.young
Hey don't save your kisses - just pass 'em around
You'll find my reason - is logically sound
Who's gonna know that you past them around
A hundred years from today
And why crave a penthouse - that's fit for a queen
You're nearer heaven - on mamma earth's green
If you had millions - what would they all me
One hundred years from today
So (hey) laugh and sing - make love the thing
Be happy while you may
('cause) there's always one - beneath the sun
Who's bound to make you feel that way
The moon is shining - and that's a (very) good sign
Cling to me closer - say (that) you'll be mine
Remember baby we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today
A hundred years from today

7. _ After You've Gone
Writer(s): creamer/layton
After you've gone - and left me crying
After you've gone - there's no denying
You'll feel blue - you're gonna be sad
You've missed the dearest pal that (slickest partner) you ever had
There'll come a time - don't you forget it
(yeah) there'll come a time - when you're gonna regret it
Some day when you get lonely
Your heart will break like mine - (and) you'll want me only
After you've gone (split) - after you've gone away (flown the coop)
After we paid - our dues together
You should have stayed - through all that nasty weather
Someday while you're feeling badly
You'll need the only one that loves you so madly
But i'll be gone - yes i'll be gone - to stay
Yeah after i've gone - after i've gone away

8. _ L.a. Is My Lady
The music she moves to, is music that makes me a dancer
I brought her my wildest of dreams, and she came up with the answer
I leave behind a part of myself, whenever i leave her
But oh, when i'm back in her arms
She smiles and then - i am home again
'cause l.a. is my lady
She's always there for me
L.a. is my lady
She knows how to care for me
No lady's sweeter - you know it the moment you meet her
I've been in love more times, than i care to remember
And love's kept me cool in july and warm in december
It may not have lasted, but each time i thought it was heaven
You name it, i've been there and back
Lookin' for someone who - i'd be faithful to
L.a. is my lady
She's always there for me
L.a. is my lady
She knows how to care for me
She's good to me - yeah she's good to me
And that's why
L.a. is my lady - l.a. is my lady
And you're lookin' at a man who - doesn't ever plan to
Kiss his lady bye-bye

9. _ Teach Me Tonight
Writer(s): cahn/de paul
Did you say (that) i've got a lot to learn
Well don't think i'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the abc of it
Getting right down to the xyz of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "i love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
And i've also met a chick or two
But i still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight
I who thought i knew the score of it
Kind of think i should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two
What i need most is post graduate
What i feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons
Teach me - come on and teach me - teach me tonight

10. _ Best Of Everything, The
Writer(s): cahn/newman
The best of everything - that's (that is) what i wish you all
The best of everything - a rembrandt (hanging) on your (the) wall
A yacht that wins you cups
Skateboards with style and speed
Show dogs or loving pups
The pride of the pound or the pedigreed
I hope you win that prize - pass that blue ribbon test
I hope your good keeps getting better - 'til your better's best
With every wine you taste
With every song you sing
By now you may have guest
I hope you get the best of everything

11. _ Until The Real Thing Comes Along
Writer(s): cahn/chaplin/freeman/holiner
Don't you know i'd work for you, i'd slave for you
Be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Gladly move the earth for you
Prove my love dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words dear at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you baby - come what may
My heart is yours - what more can i say
I would cry for you, even sigh for you
Tear those stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Walk on burning coals for you
I would drive the chrysler,leave the rolls for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I would try to hit high "c" for you
I'd even punch out mr. t for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
There's not a thing that you can't ask of me
Go on, demand any task of me
If you want the moon or a lavaliere
All you got to do is nibble on my ear
I would rob, steal, beg, borrow, and lie for you
Lay my little body down and die for you
(if that ain't love - if that isn't love)
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
