A foggy day
I was a stranger in the city Out of town were the people I knew I had that feeling of self-pity What to do, what to do, what to do The outlook was decidedly blue But as I walked through the foggy streets alone It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day, in London town Had me low, had me down I viewed the morning, with much alarm British Museum, had lost its charm |
How long I wondered, Could this thing last But the age of miracles, hadn't past For suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London town, The sun was shining everywhere For suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London town, The sun was shining everywhere |
Aren’t
you kinda glad we did? Oh
it really wasn't my intention |
Actually, it all was blameless
Socially,
I'll be an outcast |
Do it again Tell
me, tell me, what did you do to me? I
just got a thrill that was new to me, When
your two lips were pressed to mine, When
you held me, I wasn’t snuggling, You
should know I really was struggling, I’ve
only met you, and I shouldn’t let you, but... (Refrain) Oh,
do it again, I
may say “no,
no, no, no, no,” But
do it again, |
My
lips just ache to have you take the
kiss that’s waiting for you, You
know if you do, You...
won’t regret it, come and get it,
Oh,
no one is near, I
may cry “oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh,” But
no one will hear, Mama
may scold me ‘cause
she told me it is naughty, but then, Oh,
do it again! Please do it again! |
Embraceable you Embrace
me, my sweet embraceable you Embrace
me, you irreplaceable you Just
one look at you My
heart grew tipsy in you You
and you alone Bring
out the Gypsy in me I
love all, the many charms about you Above
all, I want my arms about you Don't
you be a naughty baby Come
to mama, come to mama do My sweet embraceable you |

He loves and she loves
(Verse 1) Frankie: Refrain: Frankie: |
Peter: Frankie: Peter: (Verse
2) Peter: |
I won't say I will You're a very naughty boy; When you ask me for a kiss, I'm dismayed- A little bit afraid. Now, holding hands is quite a joy For a truly modest miss; I should do Just as well for you. I am not refusing you, dear; Let me make this perfectly clear: (Refrain 1) I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! I don't say I do, but I don't say I don't! Kissing of any kind Never was on my mind. Maybe I can arrange it- It's my mind, and I can change it. I might say I might, but modesty forbids; That's the reason why I don't! So you mustn't be cross at a little delay: You ought to know Rome wasn't built in a day! I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! (Refrain 2) I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! I don't say I do, but I don't say I don't! Maybe it's just my way; Maybe I'm cold - but, say! Although my glance like ice is- How I warm up in a crisis! I might say I might, but modesty forbids; That's the reason why I don't! You'd have taken your kiss if you had any cheek- Maybe I'd scream, but my voice is so weak! I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! (Refrain 3) I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! I don't say I do, but I don't say I don't! Kissing has seemed to me Vulgar as it can be. Mentally I'm much higher. (Don't believe me - I'm a liar!) I might say I might, but modesty forbids; That's the reason why I don't! A virtue like mine is a hard thing to find, But it's lucky for me that you can't read my mind! I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! |
(Refrain 4) I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! I don't say I do, but I don't say I don't! That is the stand I take Just for convention's sake. Though I frown like a deacon, Coax me more - perhaps I'll weaken! I might say I might, but modesty forbids; That's the reason why I don't! Though I have to say "No" - if a chappies wise, He can read "Yes" in the light of my eyes! I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! (Refrain 5) I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! I don't say I do, but I don't say I don't! Stealing a kiss is theft- But, sir, if you are deft, Letting no fears assail you, I'm sure no cop would ever jail you. I might say I might, but modesty forbids; That's the reason why I don't! But supposing you kissed me, now, isn't it true: My lips would be sealed - tell me, what could I do? I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! (Refrain 6) I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't! I don't say I do, but I don't say I don't! When you ask for a kiss, I know the rhyme is bliss; But, dear, if I agreed to, No one knows what it might lead to. I might say I might, but modesty forbids; That's the reason why I don't! My affection for you, darling, keeps me in check, For once I got started, you'd soon be a wreck. I won't say I will, but I won't say I won't!

Let’s call the whole thing off
Our
romance is growing flat, |
(Second Refrain) |
Looking for a boy I am just a little girl Who's looking for a little boy Who's looking for a girl to love. Tell me please, Where can he be, The loving he who'll bring to me The harmony I'm dreaming of. It'll be goodbye, I know To my tale of woe, When he says "Hello!" So I am just a little girl Who's looking for a little boy Who's looking for a girl to love! |
|
Love walked in
Love
walked right in and drove the shadows away One
look and I forgot the gloom of the past |
|
My man's gone now My
man's gone now
He come aroud |
Ain't that I mind workin'
But old man sorrow |
Soon Soon - my dear, you'll never be lonely; Soon
- you'll find I live for you only. Or
what the place or what the climate is? our little ship will come sailing Home, through every storm, never failing. The
day you're mine this world will be in
tune. |

My dear, it's four leaved clover time, From now on my heart's working overtime, 's exceptional, 's no bagatelle, That you should care for... That you should care for... That you should care for me.......
Original Version: (Verse 1) Peter: Life has just begun: Jack has found his Jill. Don't know what you've done, But I'm all-a-thrill. How can words express Your divine appeal? You could never guess All the love I feel. From now on, lady, I insist, For me no other grls exist. |
(Refrain 1) 's wonderful, 's marvellous you should care for me! 's awful nice, 's paradise, 's what I love to see.
You've made my life so glamorous, You can't blame me for feeling amorous! Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous, That you should care for me!
(Verse 2) Frankie: Don't mind telling you, in my humble fash That you thrill me through, with a tender pash, When you said you care, 'magine my emoshe I swore then and there, permanent devosh, You made all other men seem blah Just you alone filled me with ahhhhhhhh......
(Refrain 2) 's wonderful, 's marvellous you should care for me! 's awful nice, 's paradise, 's what I love to see.
You've made my life so glamorous, You can't blame me for feeling amorous! Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous, That you should care for me! My dear it's four-leaf clover time; From now on my heart's working overtime. Oh, 's wonderful! 's marvellous That you should care for me!

Things are looking up
If I should suddenly start to sing Or stand on my head or anything Don't think that I've lost my senses It's just that my happiness finally commences
The long long ages of dull despair Are turning into thin air And it seems that suddenly I've Become the happiest girl alive
Things are looking up I've been looking the landscape over And it's covered with 4 leaf clover Oh things are looking up Since love looked up at me
Bitter was my cup But no more will I be the mourner For I've certainly turned the corner Oh things are looking up Since love looked up at me
|
See the sunbeams Every one beams Just because of you Love's in session And my depression Is unmistakably through
Things are looking up It's a great little world we live in Oh I'm happy as a pup Since love looked up at me
(bridge) See the sunbeams Every one beams Just because of you Love's in session And my depression Is unmistakably through
Things are looking up It's a great little world we live in Oh I'm happy as a pup Since love looked up at me |
They
all laughed
The
odds were a hundred to one against me The
world thought the heights were too high to climb But
people from Missouri never incensed me Oh,
I wasn't a bit concerned For
from hist'ry I had learned How
many, many times the worm had turned They
all laughed at Christopher Columbus When
he said the world was round They
all laughed when Edison recorded sound They
all laughed at Wilbur and his brother When
they said that man could fly They
told Marconi Wireless
was a phony It's
the same old cry They
laughed at me wanting you Said
I was reaching for the moon But
oh, you came through Now
they'll have to change their tune They
all said we never could be happy They
laughed at us and how! But
ho, ho, ho! Who's
got the last laugh now? |
They
all laughed at Rockefeller Center Now
they're fighting to get in They
all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin They
all laughed Fulton and his steamboat Hershey
and his chocolate bar Ford
and his Lizzie Kept
the laughers busy That's
how people are They
laughed at me wanting you Said
it would be, "Hello, Goodbye." But
oh, you came through Now
they're eating humble pie They
all said we'd never get together Darling,
let's take a bow For
ho, ho, ho! Who's
got the last laugh? Hee,
hee, hee! Let's
at the past laugh Ha,
ha, ha! Who's got the last laugh now?

They can’t take that away from me Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note, Though by tomorrow you're gone; The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote, "The melody lingers on" They may take you from me, I'll miss your fond caress. But though they take you from me, I'll still possess: The way you wear your hat, The way you sip your tea, The mem'ry of all that-- No, no! They can't take that away from me!
|
The way you sing off key, The way you haunt my dreams -- No, no! They can't take that away from me! We may never, never meet again On the bumpy road to love, Still I'll always, always keep The mem'ry of -- The way you hold your knife, The way we danced till three, The way you've changed my life -- No, no! They can't take that away from me! No! They can't take that away from me! |
