When You Wish Upon A Star written by Ned Washington and Leigh Harline © 1940 (renewed) Bourne Co. (ASCAP) When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you If your heart is in your dream No request is too extreme When you wish upon a star Like dreamers do Fate is kind She brings to those who love The sweet fulfillment of Their secret longing Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and pulls you through When you wish upon a star Your dream comes true Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and pulls you through When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true |
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered written by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers © 1941 Chappell and Co. Inc copyright renewed, copyright secured (ASCAP) He's a fool and don't I know it But a fool can have his charms I'm in love and don't I show it Like a babe in arms Love's the same old sad sensation Lately I've not slept a wink Since this half-pint imitation Put me on the blink I'm wild again Beguiled again A simpering whimpering child again Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I Lost my heart but what of it He is cold I agree He can laugh but I love it Although the laugh's on me I'll sing to him each spring to him And long for the day when I'll cling to him Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I Men are not a new sensation I've done pretty well I think But this half-pint imitation Put me on the blink I've sinned a lot I'm mean a lot But now I'm like seventeen a lot Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I |
You Go To My Head written by Haven Gillespie and Joe Fred Coots © 1938 (renewed) Warner Brothers Inc (ASCAP) You go to my head And you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two The thrill of the thought That you might give a thought To my plea casts a spell over me Still I say to myself "Get a hold of yourself Can't you see that it never can be" You go to my head With a smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance In this crazy romance You go to my head |
But Not For Me written by George and Ira Gershwin © 1930 New World Music Corp (ASCAP) Old man sunshine listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it and I'll start a riot Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare Ever tell me he will care I'm certain it's the final curtain I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas Who tell you fate supplies a mate It's all bananas They're writing songs of love but not for me A lucky star's above but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play could guarantee I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi-ho.. alas... and also lack-a-day Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi-ho.. alas... and also lack-a-day Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me |
My Funny Valentine written by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers © 1937 Chapell & Co Inc (ASCAP) Behold the way our fine feathered friend His virtue doth parade Thou knowest not my dim-witted friend The picture thou hast made Thy vacant brow and thy tousled hair Conceal thy good intent Thou noble, upright, truthful, sincere And slightly dopey gent You're my funny valentine Sweet comic valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable Unphotographable Still you're my favorite work of art Is your figure less than Greek Is your mouth a little weak When you open it to speak Are you smart Don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay, little valentine, stay Each day is Valentine's Day |
I Get Along Without You Very Well written by Hoagy Carmichael © 1939 Famous Music Corp (ASCAP) I get along without you very well Of course I do Except when soft rains fall And drip from leaves Then I recall The thrill of being sheltered in your arms Of course I do But I get along without you very well I've forgotten you just like I should Of course I have Except to hear your name Or someone's laugh that is the same But I've forgotten you just like I should What a guy What a fool am I To think my breaking heart could kid the moon What's in store Should I fall once more No it's best that I stick to my tune I get along without you very well Of course I do Except perhaps in spring But I should never think of spring For that would surely break my heart in two What's in store Should I fall once more No it's best that I stick to my tune I get along without you very well Of course I do Except perhaps in spring But I should never think of spring For that would surely break my heart in two |

Straighten Up and Fly Right written by Nat King Cole and Irving Mills © 1944 Mills Music Inc (ASCAP) The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air The monkey thought that everything was on the square The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back The monkey grabbed his neck and said now listen Jack Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top Ain't no use in jivin' What's the use in divin' Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top The buzzard told the monkey you're chokin' me Release your hold and I'll set you free The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye And said your story's touching but it sounds like a lie Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and do right Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and do right Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top Fly right |
Little Girl Blue written by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers © 1935 T.B. Harms Co c/o The Welk Group (ASCAP) Sit there and count your fingers What can you do Old girl you're through Sit there and count your little fingers Unlucky little girl blue Sit there and count the raindrops Falling on you It's time you knew All you can count on is the raindrops That fall on little girl blue No use old girl You may as well surrender Your hope is getting slender Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy To cheer up little girl blue When I was very young The world was younger than I As merry as a carousel The circus tent was strung with every star in the sky Above the ring I love so well Now the young world has grown old Gone are the tinsel and gold All you can count on is the raindrops That fall on little girl blue |
'Round Midnight written by Bernie Hanighen, Cootie Williams, Thelonious Monk © 1944 (renewed) Warner Brothers Inc (ASCAP) It begins to tell 'round midnight 'Round midnight I do pretty well 'til after sundown Suppertime I'm feeling sad But it really gets bad 'round midnight Memories always start 'round midnight 'Round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories When my heart is still with you And old midnight knows it too When some quarrel we had needs mending Does it mean that our love is ending Darling I need you Lately I find You're out of my arms And I'm out of my mind Let our love take wing some midnight 'Round midnight Let the angels sing For your returning Let our love be safe and sound When old midnight comes around Let our love take wing some midnight 'Round midnight Let the angels sing For your returning Let our love be safe and sound When old midnight comes around |
