"Waiting For The Train To Come In"

"Waiting For The Train To Come In"


Waitin' for the train to come in
Waitin' for my man to come home
I've counted every minute of each live-long day
Been so melancholy since he went away
I've shed a million teardrops or more
Waitin' for the one I adore

I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track
Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back
I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in

I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track
Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back
I'm waitin' for my life to begin
Waitin' for the train to come in

Waiting... waiting...
I'm waitin' for the train to come in

"What's New?"

"What's New?"


So, tell me babe what's new and how's the scene with you?
Gee, it's good to see you, babe
Yeah, I missed you so, how, you'll never know
Gee, it's good to see you, babe

You walked in, lights went on all over my face
You lit up the place and you've been gone just too long, now

So, tell me babe what's new? You glad to see me too
Hey, my world is spinnin', now I know I'm winnin'
You stay home now, don't ever roam now
And I'll say baby, it's so good to see you

Gee, it's good to see you, babe
Gee, it's good to see you, babe

You walked in, lights went on all over my face
You lit up the place and you've been gone just too long, now

Tell me babe what's new? You glad to see me too
Hey, my world is spinnin', now I know I'm winnin'
You stay home now, don't ever roam now
And I'll say baby, it's so good to see you

"When A Woman Loves A Man"

"When A Woman Loves A Man"


Maybe he's not much
Just another man
Doing what he can
But what does she care
When a woman loves a man

She'll just string along
All through thick and thin
Till his ship comes in
It's always that way
When a woman loves a man

She'll be the first one to praise him when he's goin' strong
The last one to blame him when every thing's wrong
It's such a one-sided game that they play
Ah, but women are funny that way

Tell her, she's a fool
She'll say, "Yes, I know
But I love him so"
And that's how it goes
When a woman loves a man

Tell her, she's a fool
She'll say, "Yes, I know
But I love him so"
And that's how it goes
When a woman loves a man

"When In Rome (I Do As The Romans Do)"

"When In Rome (I Do As The Romans Do)"


When in Spain for reasons I don't explain
I remain enjoying a brew
Don't deplore my fondness for fundador
You know how a fundador can lead to a few

And baby when in Rome
I do as the Romans do
If per chance I'm saying farewell to France
And romance drops in from the blue

Cherchez l'amour
I beg of you please endure
My taking a brief detour with somebody new
It's just that when in Rome

I do as the Romans do
And though from Italy I lied to you prettily
Oh don't think of me bitterly
But know that I'm true

Except now and then in Rome,
I get that old yearn in Rome
And naturally when in Rome
I do as the Romans do

You know what I mean?
If I write happily
Best wishes from Napoli
Don't cable me snappily

To tell me we're through
'Cause I'm once again in Rome
In somebody's den in Rome
Well honey, but when in Rome

I do as the Romans do
So just disregard the signs and the omens
When in Rome I do as the Romans do...

"Where Can I Go Without You"

"Where Can I Go Without You"


I went to London town to clear up my mind
Then on to Paris for the fun I could find
I found I couldn't leave my memories behind
Where can I go without you?

Tried seeing Germany but that wouldn't do
Went to Vienna but I found you there too
Even in Switzerland, your memory came through
Where can I go without you?

I wanted travel, I wanted romance
I chased that rainbow across the sea
I'm tired of faces and quaint old places
If you can't be there with me

Back on the boat again, farewell to France
Farewell to London town, they haven't a chance
I'll trade the sights I've seen for one loving glance
Where can I go, where can I go?
Where can I go without you?

"Where Do I Go From Here?"

"Where Do I Go From Here?"


If I knew the way I'd go back home
The countryside has changed so much, I'd surely end up lost
Half-remembered names and faces so far in the past
On the other side of the bridges
That were burned once they were crossed

Tell me where, where does a fool go
When there's no one left to listen
To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go
When he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here
Where will I go from here

Get back home where my childhood dreams and wishes
Still are none of my regrets
Go back to a place where I can figure all the odds
Have a fighting chance to lose the blues
And win my share of bets

Tell me where, where does a fool go
When there's no one left to listen
To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go
When he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here
Where will I go from here

Tell me where, where does a fool go
When there's no one left to listen
To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go
When he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here
Where will I go from here

Tell me where, where does a fool go
When there's no one left to listen
To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go
When he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here
Where will I go from here

"Whisper Not"

"Whisper Not"


Sing low, sing clear
Sing low, sing clear
Sweet words in my ear
Not a whisper of despair
But love's own prayer

Sing on until
You bring back a thrill
Of a sentimental tune
That died too soon

Our harmony was lost
But you forgave, I forgot
Whisper not of quarrels past
You know we've had our last

So now we'll be
On key constantly
Love will whisper
Whisper on eternally

Our harmony was lost
But you forgave, I forgot
Whisper not of quarrels past
You know we've had our last

So now we'll be
On key constantly
Love will whisper
Whisper on eternally, eternally

"Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money Too)"

"Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money Too)"


You had plenty money, 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money too

You're sittin' down and wonderin' what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will put you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be a-wanderin' now from door to door
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

I fell for your jivin' and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin
Why don't you do right, like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money too

Why don't you do right, like some other men do
Like some other men do

"Winter Wonderland"

"Winter Wonderland"


Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He's singin' a song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a Santa clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Till the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'?
Though your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a Santa clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down

Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' and we were talkin'
While we were walkin' in a winter wonderland

"You Deserve"

"You Deserve"


You deserve sixteen lackeys
Waitin' on your night and day
And thirty two hands wavin' fans
Just to brush the flies away

You deserve Persian maidens
Just to stand and peel your grapes
And dressed in pearls harem girls
In half a dozen sizes and shapes

If I had the riches of Sumatra
I will give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
To come along and share your throne
But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love gonna geetin' from me

You deserve[?] barges
Just to float you down the Nile
And when you blue you will have a few jesters
Just to make you smile

If I had the riches of Sumatra
I will give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
To come along and share your throne
But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love gonna gettin' from me

Baby, gonna get from me
Baby, gonna get from me

You deserve sixteen lackeys
Waiting' on you night and day
And thirty two hands waving' fans
Just to brush the flies away

You deserve Persian maidens
Just to stand and peel your grapes
And dressed in pearls harem girls
In half a dozen sizes and shapes

If I had the riches of Sumatra
I would give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
To come along and share your throne

But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love you gonna get from me

You deserve n good barges
Just to float you down the Nile
And when you blue you will have a few jesters
Just to make you smile

If I had the riches of Sumatra
I would give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
To come along and share your throne

But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love you gonna get from me

Baby, gonna get from me
Baby, gonna get from me
