1. _ I'm Walking Behind You
Writer(s): reid
I'm walking behind you - on your wedding day
And i'll here you promise - to love and obey
Though you may forget me - you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder - i'm walking behind
Maybe i'll kiss again - with a love that's new again
But i shall wish again - i was kissing you
'cause i'll always love you - where ever you go
And though we are parted - i want you to know
That if things go wrong dear - and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder - i'm walking behind

3. _ South Of The Border
Writer(s): kennedy/carr
South of the border - down mexico way
That's where i fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
And now as i wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down mexico way
She was a picture - in old spanish lace
Just for a tender while, i kissed a smile - upon her face
'cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then i lied as a whispered "manjanna"
'cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - i jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that i musn't stay
South of the border - mexico way

4. _ Love And Marriage
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This i tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one without the other

5. _ Christmas Song
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows some turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so, i'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said
Many times, many ways
Merry christmas! merry christmas! merry christmas to.. you!

6. _ Witchcraft
those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And i've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do
'cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, i know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one i wouldn't switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you

7. _ Blues In The Night
Writer(s): mercer/arlen
My mama done tol' me, when i was in knee-pants
My mama done tol' me, " son a woman'll sweet talk"
And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin, "whooee!"
(my mama done tol' me) hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "whooee!"
(my mama done tol' me) a-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' and the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song, he knows things are wrong, and he's right
From natchez to mobile, from memphis to st. joe, wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing i know
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
My mama was right, there's blues in the night.

8. _ Hey Jealous Lover
Writer(s): cahn/walker/twomey
Hey! jealous lover
You're acting so strange
Hey! jealous lover
What is making you change
Hey! jealous lover
How wrong can you be
I'm yours ever faithful
Just be faithful to me
I am just as steady - as that clock on the shelf
Maybe you're accusing me of - what you're doing yourself
Hey! jealous lover
I'm telling you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you
Could have cheated lots of times - but just couldn't do
I was much to busy baby - being faithful to you
Hey! jealous lover
I'm telling you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you
- no one for me - jealous lover but you

9. _ Moon Was Yellow
The moon was yellow, and the night was young.
A smile brought us together, and i was wond'ring whether
We'd meet again someday.
The moon was yellow, and a song was sung.
That vocal inspiration gave me the inclination
To give my heart away.
Here we are! is our romance to continue?
Will it be my luck to win you.
May i look that far? ah! my love is
Ah, my love is yellow and the night is young.

i've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should i try to resist, when baby will i know than well
That i've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time i do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before i begin
'cause i've got you under my skin

Writer(s): fischer
Chicago, chicago that toddling town
Chicago, chicago i'll show you around - i love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in chicago

They have the time the time of their life

12. _ Lean Baby
My lean baby - tall and thin
Five feet seven - of bones and skin
But when she tells me maybe she loves me
I feel as mellow as a fellow can be
She's so skinny - she's so drawn
When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) she's gone
But when she calls me: "baby" - i feel fine
To think she's frantically, romantically mine
She's slender, but she's tender
She makes my heart surrender
And every night, when i hold her tight
The feeling is nice - my arms can go around twice
My lean baby - she's so slim
A broomstick's wider - but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me - then i know
I love her so, i'll never, ever, let her go
My lean baby - strange to see
And all that nothing - it belongs to me
And though she may be scrawny - she's ok
Because i wouldn't want her any other way
She's so skinny - she's so drawn
When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) she's gone
But when she calls me: "baby" - i feel fine
To think she's frantically, romantically mine
I chased her - and i caught her
Then a diamond ring - i bought her
(hey) the diamonds shine - the ring is so fine
But here is the twist - she wears it right on her wrist
My lean baby - she's so slim
A broomstick's wider - but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me - then i know
I love her so, i'll never, ever, let her go
My lean baby - tall and thin...

13. _ All The Way
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure i'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way

14. _ Night And Day
Writer(s): cole porter
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever i go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

15. _ Come Fly With Me
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use, some exotic booze
There's a bar in far bombay
Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to peru
In lama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, we'll float down in the blue
Once i get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry eyed
Once i get you up there, i'll be holding you so near
You may here, angels cheer - because were together
Weather wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words, and we'll beat the birds
Down to acapulco bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - i'm in love
I've got a song that i sing
I can make the rain go
Any time i move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see - i'm in love
Life's a wonderful thing
As long as i hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If i should ever let her go

Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless
Three hearts it a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of rome
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a valentine
Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine

They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things i've left unsaid
Time after time
I tell myself that i'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what i know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that i'm
So lucky to be loving you

20. _ What Is This Thing Called Love
Writer(s): cole porter
I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in thorugh my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why i ask the lawd in heaven above
What is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now i sit and wonder night and day
Why i love you still?

22. _ Young At Heart
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way
Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it's much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
Today i may not have a thing at all
Except for just a dream or two
But i've got lots of plans for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you
Right now it may not seem like spring at all
We're drifting and the laughs are few
But i've got rainbows planned for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you
No one knows better than i
That luck keeps passing me by ... that's fate
But with you there at my side
I'll soon be turrning the tide ... just wait
As long as i've got arms that cling at all
It's you that i'll be clinging to
And all the dreams i dream, beg, or borrow
On some bright tomorrow they'll all come true
And all my bright tomorrows belong to you

Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam
'cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop

Writer(s): myrow/gordon
You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung
Every time i see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and i, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when i'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way i do today
'cause you make me feel so young

The years when the day seems twice as long
Restless and sighing and laughing and crying
And dreaming a dream people say is wrong
But we'll journey through

To each other's arms where we belong
Clinging together
I'm certain we'll weather the warm and stormy day
And impatient year
But we'll journey through

To each other's arms where we belong
Clinging together

28. _ No One Ever Tells You
No one ever tells you what's like to love and lose,
How it feels to waken and have breakfast with the blues,
How to go on living, how to face another day,
No one ever tells you the way.
No one ever tells you how it feels to walk alone,
Listening for those footsteps through the echo of your own.
Suddenly it hits you all those dreams not worth a dime,
Cause no one ever tells you in time.
Long before the icy winds of winter,
Autumn tells the swallows, time to fly,
Why did she pretend till the bitter end
Till it broke my heart to say goodbye.
And no one ever tells you that it's just another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.
(instrumental)
No one ever tells you that it's just another fling,
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.
It never comes easy, no one ever tells you before.

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

33. _ Someone To Watch Over Me
Writer(s): gershwin/gershwin
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So i'm going to seek a certain lad i've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair i cannot forget
Only man i ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody i'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know i could always be good
Someone who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me

34. _ Lady Is A Tramp, The
Writer(s): rodgers/hart
She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She loves the theater, but doesn't come late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's o'k
She hates california, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to harlem, in lincolns or fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp

Went to see a movie show
Found myself an empty row
Thought the show was just alright
Same old saturday night
Then i made the usual stop
Coffee at the coffee shop
Friendly face nowhere in sight
Same old saturday night
I really thought - the papers i bought
Would help me forget you for a while
Believe me honey - the funnies weren't funny
They didn't even make me smile
How i wish you'd lift the phone
Fun is fun - but not alone
'til you let me hold you tight
Same old saturday night
Only your face - can help me erase

You vowed your love
From here to eternity
A love so true,
It never would die
You gave your lips
Gave them so willingly
How could i know
Your kiss meant goodbye?
Now i'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...
Though you are gone
This love that you left with me
Will live from here to eternity.
Now i'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...
Though you are gone
This love that you left with me

37. _ Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
The torch i carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
Now when that twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels
When i want rain, i get sunny weather
I'm just as blue, blue as the sky
Since love has gone, i can't get myself together
Guess i'll hang my tears out to dry
My friend ask me out, but i tell them i'm busy
I've got to get a new alibi
I hang around at home, and ask myself: "where is she?"
Guess i'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Moving on a stream of dreams
My little memories, those precious memories
Remind me of our crazy schemes
Then somebody says, just forget about her
But i gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, i got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by - oh well
I guess i'll hang my tears out to dry

38. _ Learnin' The Blues
Writer(s): delores silvers
The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light - one after another
Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues
When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
You just can't forget her - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the (those) blues

The only exception i know is the case
When i'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Then i suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face
Chorus:
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 like the perfume from spain
I'm sure that if i took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
But i get a kick out of you
( some like the bop-type refrain )
( i'm sure that if, i heard even one riff )
( it would bore me terrifically too )
( but 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 )
( but 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
But i get a kick out of you
