"Eeny Meeny Meiny Mo"

"Eeny Meeny Meiny Mo"


Eeny meeny miney mo
Catch your troubles by the toe
If it hollers let it go
Let it fly away
Eeny meeny miney mo
It's the saying high and low
Hear it everywhere you go
Every time of day
Big Ben rings it
Vallee sings it
Whitewood swings it
Even Mr. Crosby bings it

"Embraceable You"

"Embraceable You"


George and Ira Gershwin

Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you
Embrace me
My irreplaceable you
Just to look at you
My heart grows tipsy in me
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 be naughty baby
Come to me
Come to me do
My sweet embraceable you

I love all
The many charms about you
Above all
I want my arms about you
Don't be naughty baby
Come to me
Come to me do
My sweet embraceable you

"Everything Happens For The Best"

"Everything Happens For The Best"


Always blue all in a mist
It's plain as can be
You're so mean to me
But everything happens for the best
You always play around
You're running my heart so deep in the ground
That O.K. everything happens for the best
I loved you so madly
Knew you would be true
Now this thing has happened dear
It's over all over because we're through
So sorry dear it end this way
Since the world begin
The old folks say
Everything happens for the best

I loved you so madly
Knew you would be true
Now this thing has happened dear
It's over all over because we're through
So sorry dear it end this way
Since the world begin
The old folks say
Everything happens for the best

"Everything I Have Is Yours"

"Everything I Have Is Yours"


Everything I have is yours
You are part of me
Everything I have is yours
My destiny

I would gladly give the sun to you
If the sun were only mine
I would gladly give the earth to you
And the stars that shine
Everything that I posses, I offer you

Let my dream of happiness come through
I'll be happy just to spent my life
Waiting at your back end call
Everything I have is yours
My life, my all

Everything I have is yours
You are part of me
Everything I have is yours

If the sun were only mine
I would gladly give the earth to you
And the stars that shine
Everything that I posses, I offer to you

Let my dream of happiness come through
I'll be happy just to spent my life
Waiting at your back end call
Everything I have is yours
My life, my all

"Fine And Mellow"

"Fine And Mellow"


My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man, he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen

He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things that you know is wrong

But if you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
If you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away

Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on

Some times when you think it's on, baby
It has turned off and gone

"For All We Know"

"For All We Know"


Sweetheart, the night is growing old
Sweetheart, my love is still untold
A kiss that is never tasted
Forever and ever is wasted

For all we know, we may never meet again
Before you go, make this moment sweet again
We won't say, goodnight until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it

For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know

"For Heaven's Sake"

"For Heaven's Sake"


For heavens sake let's fall in love
It's no mistake to call it love
An angel's holding hands with me
How heavenly heaven can be

Here is romance for us to try
Here is a chance we can't deny
While heaven's giving us a break
Let's fall in love for heaven's sake
Don't say a word my darling
Don't break the spell like this
Just hold me tight; we're alone in the night
And heaven is here with a kiss

This pair of eyes can see a star
So paradise can't be so far
Since heaven's what we're dreaming of
For heavens sake, let's fall in love

"Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You"

"Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You"


What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you
There's nothing in the world, too good for a girl that's good and true
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you

Bought you a fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring, a big Cadillac car and everything
Its love that makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you

What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you
There's nothing in the world, too good for a guy that's good and true
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you

Fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring, big Cadillac car and everything
There's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you

What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you
There's nothing in the world too good for a girl that's good and true
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you

Fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring, big Cadillac car and everything
Its love that makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you
Gee, baby, ain't I good to you

"Getting Some Fun Out Of Life"

"Getting Some Fun Out Of Life"


When we want to love, we love
When we want to kiss, we kiss
With a little petting, we're getting
Some fun out of life
When we want to work. we work
When we want to play, we play
In a happy setting, we're getting
Some fun out of life
Maybe we do the right things
Maybe we do the wrong
Spending each day
Just wending our way along
When we want to sing, we sing
When we want to dance, we dance
You can do your betting, we're getting
Some fun out of life

Maybe we do the right things
Maybe we do the wrong
Spending each day
Just wending our way along
But when we want to sing, we sing
When we want to dance, we dance
You can do your betting, we're getting
Some fun out of life

"Glad To Be Unhappy"

"Glad To Be Unhappy"


Look at yorself.
If you had the sense of humor,
You would laught to beat the band.

Look at yourself.
Do you still belive in rumor
that romance is simply grand?

Since you took it right
on the chin,
you have lost that bright
toothpaste grin.

My mental state is all a jumble.
I sit around and sadly mumble.

Fools rush in, so here I am,
very glad to be unhappy.

Unrequited love's a bore,
and I've got it pretty bad.
But for someone you adore,
it's a pleasure to be sad

Like a straying baby lamb
with no mammy and no pappy,
I'm so unhappy,
but oh, so glad.
