"Come Rain Or Come Shine"
(with John Mayer)



I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Rain or shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you, I'm with you rain or shine
I'm with you, I'm with you rain or shine

Rain or shine
Rain or shine
Rain or shine
Rain or shine

"Come To The Supermarket (In Old Peking)"

"Come To The Supermarket (In Old Peking)"



If you want a fancy fan
Or a turkey born in Turkey-stan
Or a slave that's awf'lly African
Or a Teapot early Ming,
Come to the supermarket in old Peking.

If you want to buy a kite
Or a pup to keep you up at night
Or a dwarf who used to know Snow White
Or a frog who loves to sing,
Come to the supermarket in old Peking.

They have: sunflow'r cakes, moonbeam cakes,
Gizzard cakes, lizard cakes,
Pickled eels, pickle snakes,
Fit for any king,

If you want a bust of jade
Or an egg that's more or less decayed
Or in case you care to meet a maid
For a nice but naughty fling,

Come to the supermarket,
If you come on an ostrich, you can park it,
So come to the supermarket
And see Pe-
King.

If you want a gong to beat
Or a rickshaw with a sassy seat
Or a painting slightly indiscreet
That is simply riveting,
Come to the supermarket and see Peking.

Well, If you want some calico
Or a gentle water buffalo
Glow worm guaranteed to glow
Or a cloak inclined to cling,
Come to the supermarket in old Peking.

They have bird's-nest soup, seaweed soup,
Noodle soup, poodle soup,
Talking crows with the croup,
Almost anything.

If you want to buy a saw
Or a fish delicious when it's raw
Or a pill to kill your moth'r-in-law
Or a bee without a sting,

Come to the supermarket,
If you come on a turtle, you can park it,
So come to the supermarket
If you come on a goose, you can park it,
So come to the supermarket
And see
Pe-
King!

"Come Tomorrow"
(feat. Barry Gibb)

"Come Tomorrow"
(feat. Barry Gibb)



[Barbra:]
Are you ready for the day
That we've prayed for
Already holding what is real
You know the soul finds its own evolution
And this is the only love I feel
Can I tell ya
I'm keeping up the strength
I've gotta try
'Cause you ain't getting past this heart of mine
I'm out here waiting for you
With all I've got to give
And I accept this life we live

[Both:]
I'll be your lover
And I'll be your friend
I'm gonna follow you
Right to the end

[Barbra:]
I wasn't made to tell you lies
I only came to make you realize

[Both:]
I'll be your hero
And I'll be your plan
You pick me up
And let me down

[Barbra:]
Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait
'Cause come tomorrow will be to late

[Both:]
Come tomorrow
Come tomorrow

[Barry:]
I got to turn away my face
'Cause you blind me with your light
Can you catch up to me
You know I love you in the black of night
This sacred bridge you walk
This journey has begun
We try, we try to carry on

Are you listening
You get to find the things in life
That get you through

[Barbra:]
One more day...

[Barry:]
And deep inside the things you want love never knew

[Barbra:]
One less chance...

[Barry:]
Let me make it happen
This world we have foreseen

[Barbra:]
Hmmm...

[Barry:]
And I will tell you how I feel

[Both:]
Love will be better for wearing your ring
I'm gonna give you everything

[Barry:]
I wasn't made to tell you lies
I only came to make you realize

[Both:]
I'll be your hero
And I'll be your plan
You pick me up
You let me down

[Barry:]
Don't make me stumble, don't make me wait

[Both:]
'Cause come tomorrow will be to late

Come tomorrow...
Come tomorrow...
Come tomorrow...
Oh! Come tomorrow...
Come tomorrow...
Come tomorrow...
Come tomorrow...

"Comin' In And Out Of Your Life"

"Comin' In And Out Of Your Life"



I still can remember
The last time I cried
I was holding you and loving you
Knowing it would end
I never felt so good
Yet felt so bad
You're the one I love
And what makes it sad
Is you don't belong to me
And I can remember
The last time I lied
I was holding you and telling you
We could still be friends
Tried to1et you go
But I can't, you know
And even though I'm not with you
I need you so
But you don't belong to me
Comin' in and out of your life
Isn't easy,
When there's so many nights
I can't hold you and I've told you
These feelings are so hard to find
Comin' in and out of your life
Will never free me
'Cause I don't need to touch you
To feel you, it's so real with you
I just can't get you out of my mind
But I can remember the last time we tried
Each needing more than we could give
And knowing all the time
A stronger love
Just can't be found
Even though at times this crazy world ú
Is turning up-side-down
You'll always belong to me
(Comin' in and out of your life)
Isn't easy,
When there's so many nights
I can't hold you and I've told you
These feelings are so hard to find
Comin' in and out of your life
Will never free me
I don't need to touch you
To feel you, it's so real with you
I can't get you out of my mind
But I can remember...

"Cornet Man"

"Cornet Man"


[Fanny convinces Eddie she has talent and he agrees to teach her the specialty for the next audition. She gets the job.]

[Fanny:]
Well--
I just put the kids to sleep
And swept the shack,
Took my sweet man's satchel down
And watched him pack,
I said, "Darlin', while the stove still smolders,
Unpin your woman's hair and rub her shoulders."
I threw myself across the doorway
Beggin', "Stay, sweet man, stay,"
But there's more in my man's life
Than this old hag.
It's Jelly Roll Morton, and a shiny cornet,
And jazzin' the rag!
The lady ain't been born
Can take the place of a horn,
With a cornet man.
A-goin' where there's blowin',
Trav'lin' cornet man.
Just anytime they call him
He'll leave his wife and kiddies
Sittin' with their tongues out
To play for peanuts in a dive
And blow his lungs out.
He'll hop a choo-choo on a moment's notice
To play some dates with Billy Bates
Or Rag-time Otis!
The lady ain't see light
Can give a horn a fair fight
With a cornet man
A rootin', shootin', ever-tootin' Dapper Dan
Who carries in his satchel
A powder-blue Norfolk suit,
A silver-plated wah-wah mute,
There is whiskey, gamblin'--each one is a curse,
But I'm up against a devil that's worse.
Yes, a horn is my thorn,
My trav'lin' cornet man!
Kill yourself! Tell me about it! Yeah! Yeah!

A powder-blue Norfolk suit,
I said a silver-plated wah-wah mute,
Oh, he's shy on height,
He's short on weight,
But he's the only man can make my coffee perculate,
A Dapper Dan,
My cornet-playin' man.

After the performance, Nick Arnstein comes backstage,
elegant in formal dress, to pay off a gambling debt to Keeney.
Nick has seen the show and tells Fanny she's going to be a
big star some day. Fanny asks how much Keeney is paying her,
and Nick manages to jack up her salary by pretending to bid on
behalf of a competitor. He gives her his card and kisses her hand.
Eddie asks Fanny out for a date, but she only wants to be friends;
already she has fallen for Nick, but imagines she'll never see him
again.

"Crippled Crow"
(originally by Kris Kristofferson)



Beggar standin' on the corner sing your song
Sing it for a dime
Bring them all the pain you carried down the line
Your music's flyin' post their ears
Goin' through your troubles for the herd to follow
The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow
Movin' down the ladder slow
Where your friends on knee will help you
And the cup-o tin you carry
Is just a ticket to get you in

Beggar standin' on the corner dry your eye
You're tiring now
The tears you're tastin' now are only salty time
Your music's lasted thru the year
Goin' through your troubles for the herd to follow
The out of tune ravings of rhe crippled crow
Movin' down the ladder slow
Where your friends on knee will help you
And the crown of thorns you're wearing
Is just a ticket to get you in

The our of tune ravings of the crippled crow
Moving down the ladder slow
Where your friends on knee will help you
The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow
Moving down the ladder slow
Where your friends on knee will help you

"Cry Me A River"

"Cry Me A River"



Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me...
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on! Come on!
Cry me a river...
Cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you...

"Cryin' Time"
(feat. Ray Charles)



[Ray:]
Oh it's

[Both:]
Cryin' time again
You're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling

[Ray:]
Oh babe!

[Both:]
But it won't be long
Before it's cryin' time

[Ray:]
Say babe!

[Barbra:]
Oh, they say that absence makes
The heart grow fonder
(Fonder)
And that tears are on their way
To make love grow
(Grow)
But my love for you could never,
Never, never, never grow no stronger

[Ray:]
All right!
(Stronger)

[Barbra:]
If I live to be a hundred,
A hundred years old

[Ray:]
Oh, oh!

[Both:]
It's cryin' time again
You're gonna leave me

[Ray:]
You feel pretty bad

[Barbra:]
I hope not!

[Both:]
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling

[Ray:]
Oh, darling!

[Both:]
That it won't be long
Before it's cryin' time...
No it won't be long
Before it's cryin' time...

Oh it's crying time again

That it won't be long
Before it's crying time
Oh they say that absence makes

Well, my love for you could never,
Never, never, never grow no stronger

If I live to be a hundred,
And I say a hundred years old
Oh you say that you've found someone
You love better
That's the way it's happened
Every time before
(Before)
And as sure as the sun comes out tomorrow
(Tomorrow)
Crying time will start
When you walk out
When you walk out my door
Oh it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
(I can feel it now)
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
(I can feel it now)
(I can see it baby in your eyes)
I can tell by way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time
No it won't be long before it's crying time!

"Dancing"

"Dancing"


[Dolly speaking]:
Put your hand on her waist and stand
With her right in your left hand
And one and one two three, ah! one two three,
Oh, no, this one...and one two three
one two three

[Cornelius speaking]:
Look I'm dancing!
Well, I was.

[Dolly speaking]:
Of course you were, Mr. Hackl!
[singing]
Take the someone whose arms you're in
Hold onto her tight and spin
And one two three, one two three, one two three

[Cornelius:]
Look, I'm dancing!

[Dolly:]
Come here.
Turn around and turn around, try floating through the air
Can't you be a little more aesthetic?

[Cornelius:]
Don't you think my dancing has a polish and a flair?

[Dolly:]
The word I think I'd use is athletic!

[Cornelius:]
Well my heart is about to burst
My head is about to pop
And now that I'm dancing who cares if I ever stop!

[Dolly:]
That's wonderful, Mr. Hackl!

[Cornelius:]
...Look, everybody! I, Cornelius Hackl...Sport
...I'm dancing!

[Dolly:]
You're next, Mr. Tucker!
Glide and step and then step and glide

[Barnaby:]
And everyone stand aside!

[Dolly:]
Oh, not yet Mr. Tucker! One, two, three...
One, two, three, ah!

Cornelius
Look, he's dancing!
Dolly
I think he's phenomenal!
You could learn to polka if you worked a week or so
Or the tango filled with passion seething

[Barnaby:]
I might join the chorus of the castle garden show

[Dolly:]
Whatever you do, Mr. Tucker, kee-keep breathing

[All three:]
For my heart is about to burst
My head is about to pop
And now that we're dancing who cares if we ever stop!

[All:]
Make the music weave a spell
Whirl away your worry
Things look almost twice as well
When you're slightly blurry
As around and around you go
Your spirits will hit the top
And now that we're dancing
Who cares if we ever stop
One-two-three
One-two-three
One-two
And now that we're dancing
Who cares if we ever stop!
