A foggy day

Aren’t you kinda glad we did?  

Do it again

Embraceable you

He loves and she loves

I won't say I will

Let's call the whole thing off

Looking for a boy

Love walked in

My man's gone now

Soon

'S wonderful

Things are looking up

They all laughed

They can't take that away from me

    

    


   

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
To disregard convention
It was just an impulse that had to be obeyed

Though it seems convention we've been scorning
I'll still not go in warning
Though my reputation is blemished, I'm afraid

With just one kiss
What heaven, what rapture, what bliss!

Honestly, I thought I wouldn't
Naturally, I thought I couldn't
And probably I shouldn't
But aren't you kinda glad we did?

   

   

Actually, it all was blameless
Never the less, they'll call it shameless
So let's keep the lady nameless
But aren't you kinda glad we did?

 

Socially, I'll be an outcast
Obviously, we'll dine alone
On my good name there will be doubt cast
With never a sign of any chaperone

No matter how they may construe it
Whether or not we have to ruin
Whatever made us do it
Well aren't you kinda glad we did?

Aren't you kinda glad we did?

   

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)
Peter:
Now that I have found you
I must hang around you.
Though you may refuse me,
you will never lose me.
If the human race is
full of happy faces –

 

Frankie:
It's because they all love
that wonderous thing they call love.

 

Refrain:
Peter:
He loves and she loves,
and they love
so why can't you love
and I love too?

 

Frankie:
Birds love and bees love
and whispering trees love,
and that's what we both should do.

 

   

Peter:
Oh I always knew someday you'd come along,

Frankie:
We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong,
hear me

 

Peter:
He loves and she loves
and they love so won't you
love me as I love you?

 

(Verse 2)
Frankie:
Feel a funny feeling
in my heart a-stealing;
If it's love, I'm for it.
Gosh! How I adore it!
You're the silver lining
for which I've been pining.

 

Peter:
Lonesome days are over;
From now on, we're in clover.

   

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,
For you like this and the other,
While I go for this and that.
Goodness knows what the end will be;
Oh, I don't know where I'm at ....
It looks as if we two will never be one.
Something must be done.

(Refrain)

You say eether and I say eyether,
You say neether and I say nyther;
Eether, eyether, neether, nyther -
Let's call the whole thing off !

You like potato and I like po-tah-to,
You like tomato and I like to-mah-to;
Potato, po-tah-to, tomato, to-mah-to -
Let's call the whole thing off !

But oh, if we call the whole thing off, then we must part.
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart.

So, if you like pajamas and I like pa-jah-mas,
I'll wear pajamas and give up pa-jah-mas.
For we know we
Need each other, so we
Better call the calling off off.
Let's call the whole thing off !

(Second Refrain)

You say laughter and I say lawfter,
You say after and I say awfter;
Laughter, lawfter, after, awfter -
Let's call the whole thing off !

You like vanilla and I like vanella,
You, sa's'parilla and I sa's'parella;
Vanilla, vanella, choc'late, strawb'ry -
Let's call the whole thing off !

But oh, if we call the whole thing off, then we must part.
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart.

So, if you go for oysters and I go for ersters,
I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters.
For we know we
Need each other, so we
Better call the calling off off.
Let's call the whole thing off ! 

   

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
Love walked right in and brought my sunniest day
One magic moment and my heart seemed to know
That love said "Hello" though not a word was spoken

One look and I forgot the gloom of the past
One look and I had found my future at last
One look and I had found a world completely new
When love walked in with you 

   

My man's gone now

 

My man's gone now
Ain't no use a listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs

Old man sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers

 

He come aroud
He come up, he come around

 

Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' means travelers
Journeyin' togheter
To the promised land

 

But old man sorrow
Mountin' all the way with me
Tell' me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man

Since I lose my man

   

Soon

   

Soon - my dear, you'll never be lonely;

Soon - you'll find I live for you only.
When I'm with you who cares what time it is,

Or what the place or what the climate is?
Oh! Soon - 

our little ship will come sailing Home, through every storm, never failing.

The day you're mine this world will be in tune.
Let's make that day come soon.

   

‘S wonderful

 

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 devoshe, 

You made all other men seem blah 

Just you alone filled me with ahhhhhhhh...... 

'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! 

 

's magnificque, 's what I seek 

You should care for me. 

's elegant, 's what I want, 

's what I love to see. 

 

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 smile just beams,

            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!
