"Hard Hearted Hannah"

"Hard Hearted Hannah"


In old Savannah, I said Savannah
The weather there is nice and warm
The climate's of the Southern brand
But here's something I don't understand

Hey got 'em a gal there

A pretty, pretty gal there
Who's colder than an Arctic storm
Got a heart made like a stone
Even icemen leave her alone!

They call her Hard Hearted Hannah
Vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Leather is tough
But Hannah's heart is tougher
She's a gal who loves to see a man suffer!

Tease 'em, and thrill 'em
To torture and kill 'em
Is her delight, they say
Saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
There was Hannah pourin' water on a drownin' man!
She's Hard Hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah, G-A!

They call her Hard Hearted Hannah
Vamp of Savannah
The very meanest gal in town
You can talk about your cold, refrigeratin' mamas
She's the polar bear's pajamas!

Tease 'em, and thrill 'em, torture and kill 'em
Is her delight, they say
An evenin' spent with Hannah on your knees
Is like travelin' through Alaska in your B-V-Ds!
She's Hard Hearted Hannah...
Cold-blooded Hannah...
She's Hard Hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah, G-A!

"Have You Got Any Castles, Baby?"

"Have You Got Any Castles, Baby?"


Have dreamed about romance a lot
Men like Galahad and Sir Lancelot
Always did the things I'd like to do.

Physically I'm not as durable
But romantically I'm incurable
And I'd like to do the same for you...

Have ya got any castles
You want me to build, baby?
Have ya got any dragons
You wanna have killed, baby?

I'll get into my seven league boots
I'll get into my bulletproof suits
Get out my revolver that shoots
And rat-a-tat-tat... down they'll go.

Have ya got any mortgages
You wanna have paid, baby?
Have ya got any villains
That you wanna have laid to rest?

After all my adventures are through
And I bring home a dragon or two
You can tell all the papers
That I did it because... I love you.

Have ya got some castles
You want me to build, baby?
And maybe ya got a few dragons
You'd like to have killed, baby.

I'll get into my ivy league suit
Put on a pair of desert boots
With an ivy league suit
Some desert boots...

'kay, boy... you'll never get into westerns that way...

Ah... ya got some mortgages
You'd like to have paid, baby?
Maybe ya got some villains
You wanna have laid to rest?

After all my adventures are through
And I bring home a dragon or two
You can tell all the papers
That I did it 'cause... I love you... you.

"Hello Young Lovers"

"Hello Young Lovers"


Hello young lovers whoever you are
I hope your troubles are few
All my good wishes go with you tonight
I've been in love like you

Be brave young lovers and follow your star
Be brave and faithful and true
Cling very close to each other tonight
I've been in love like you

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels
And to fly down the street in a trance
You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet
And you meet, not really by chance

Don't cry young lovers whatever you do
Don't cry because I'm alone
All of my mem'ries are happy tonight
I've had a love of my own

I've had a love of my own like yours
I've had a love of my own

"Hello, Dolly!"

"Hello, Dolly!"


Hello, Dolly
Well, hello, Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong

You're looking swell, Dolly
And I can tell, Dolly
You still crowing, you still growing, you still going strong

I feel the room swaying
While the band's playing
One of your old favorite songs from way back when

So, take her rap, fellows
Find her an empty lap, fellows
And Dolly will never go away again

I said hello, Dolly
Well what do yah know, Dolly
It's so nice to have yah back where you belong

You're looking swell, Dolly
And I can tell, Dolly
You're still crowing, you're still growing, you're still going strong

Just feel that room swaying
Cause the band's playing
One of your old familiar songs from way back when

So, golly gee, fellows
Find her an empty knee, fellows
And Dolly will never go away again

I mean hello, Dolly
What do you know, Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong

I can tell, Dolly
You're looking swell, swell, Dolly
Yeah, you're still crowing, you're still growing, you're still going strong

Just feel that room swaying
While the band keeps on playing
One of your old familiar songs from way back when

So, golly gee, fellows
Have a little faith in me, fellows
And Dolly will never go away again

Just feel that room swaying
While that band is playing
One of your old familiar songs from way back when

So, golly gee, fellows
Find her a vacant knee, fellows
Dolly will never go away
Promise you'll never go away
Dolly will never go away....again

Look out, old Dolly is back!

"Here I Am"

"Here I Am"


If you're lookin' for a new love
Here I am
If you're searchin' for a true love
Here I am.

I'll hold you day and night
I will never let you out of my sight
If you're lookin' for a new love
Here I am.

Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever, ever been blue
Does your heart need a someone
Who is kind, faithful and true.
If you're lookin' for that someone
Here I am
If you're searchin' for an only one
Here I am.

I have never shared a true love
And I've-a never had me a real love
If you're lookin' for a good love
Here I am.

If you're searchin' for a true love
Here I am...
Here I am...

"How About Me"

"How About Me"


It's over, all over
And soon somebody else
Will make a fuss about you
But how about me?

It's over, all over
And soon somebody else
Will tell his friends about you
But how about me?

You'll find somebody new
But what am I to do?
I'll still remember you
When you have forgotten

And maybe, a little baby
Will climb upon your knee
And put it's tiny arms around you
But how about me?
How about me?

"How About You"

"How About You"


I like New York in June
How about you?
I like a Gershwin tune
How about you?

I love a fireside
When a storm is due
I like potato chips an' moonlight an' motor trips
How about you?

I'm mad about good books
Can't get my fill
And Mr. Kennedy's looks
Give me a thrill.

Holdin' hands in a movie show
When all the lights are low
May not be new
But I like it...
How about you?

I like New Jersey in June
How about you?
An' I love me a Bernstein tune
How about you?

I-I-I love a TV set
When a storm is due
Ya know I like my fish an' chips, rock an' roll and filter tips
How about you?

I'm nuts about good cooks
Can never get my fill
And Mrs. Darin's looks
Kinda give me a thrill.

Holdin' hands in a movie show
All the way in the last row
May not be new
But I like it...
How about you?

"Hush, Somebody's Callin' My Name"

"Hush, Somebody's Callin' My Name"


Hush, hush
Somebody's calling my name
Hush, hush
Somebody's calling my name

I hear a voice so sweet an' clear
Calling me angel an' a honey dear
Well, whoa-ho, hush, hush
Whoa-ho, hush, hush
Whoa-ho, hush, hush
Somebody's calling my name

Hush, I say hush
Somebody's calling my name
Whoa-o-o, won't you hush
Somebody's calling my name

If it's the girl I've been searching for
I'll tell the world I won't-a search no more
Now, whoa-ho hush, hush
Whoa-ho hush, hush
Whoa-ho hush, hush
Somebody's calling my name

Well, talk to my mother wouldn't do me no good
Talk to my brother wouldn't do me no good
I talked to the gypsy and she said, Rejoice
You'll know your lover by the sound of his voice

So hush, I say hush
Somebody's calling my name
Whoa now listen, won't you hush
Somebody's calling my name

I see my baby up on a hill
I love her now and I always will
So whoa-ho hush, hush
Whoa-ho hush, hush
Whoa-ho hush, hush
Somebody's calling my name, yeah

Somebody's calling my name, yeah
Somebody's calling my name, yeah
Somebody's calling my name

"I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None Of My Jellyroll"
(with Johnny Mercer)

"I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None Of My Jellyroll"
(with Johnny Mercer)



[Johnny:]
I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll...

[Bobby:]
How 'bout your short'ning bread?

[Johnny:]
Oh, I wouldn't give you a piece a pie to save your soul...

[Bobby:]
I guess that's what you said.

[Johnny:]
My ma told me today
When she went away...

[Bobby:]
To buy groceries.

[Johnny:]
To be a good boy
She'd give me a toy
'cause I'm my mama's
Pride and joy.

There ain't no use of anyone to keep a hangin' 'round...

[Bobby:]
Maybe I'm waiting' on your ma.

[Johnny:]
You don't know my ma
She'd really put you down...

[Bobby:]
Put me down?

[Johnny:]
Ma's bakin' up a storm
And her oven is still warm.
I know you want it
But you can't have it
And I ain't gonna give you none.

[Bobby:]
You dirty boy!

I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll...

[Johnny:]
Oh... such a stingy chap!

[Bobby:]
I wouldn't give you a piece a pie to save your soul...

[Johnny:]
How 'bout a zuzu snap?

[Bobby:]
Her cherry pie is fine
Her layer cake divine.
But I'm tellin' you twice
You can't get a slice
Unless you're extra special nice.

Now, there ain't no use of you to just keep a hangin' 'round...

[Johnny:]
Oh... pretty please!

[Bobby:]
I love you but I hate to put you down
Yeah... my jellyroll is sweet...

[Johnny:]
That it is!

[Bobby:]
It sure is hard to beat
Well, I know they want it...

[Johnny:]
But, they can't have it...

[Both:]
Whoa, Miss Nelly, I need my jellyroll!

[Johnny:]
Dibs on the dishpan.

[Bobby:]
I got seconds.

"I Can See The Wind"

"I Can See The Wind"


I cannot make it, girl, through the day
Ah babe, but I can see the wind
I cannot seem to make my way
Ah babe, but I can see the wind.

Float in smoke, let it father me
Ah babe, but I can see the wind
What man is doin' doesn't bother me
Ah babe, 'cause I can see the wind.

I do not seem to hear myself
Ah babe, but I can see the wind
I am a part of somethin' else
Ah babe, but I can see the wind.

Shadowed clouds may smother men
Ah babe, but I can see the wind
Letting out the other me
Ah babe, but I can see the wind.

The space around me isn't any more
Ah babe, but I can see the wind
I think I'm standing' but there is no floor
Ah babe, but I can see the wind.

I can see the wind
I can see the wind
I can see the wind
I can see the wind
I can see the wind
I can see the wind
I can see the wind
