"Indiana"
(with Johnny Mercer)

"Indiana"
(with Johnny Mercer)

[Johnny:]
Back home again in Indiana

[Bobby:]
Ah... talk about the South!

[Johnny:]
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight
Still shinin' bright
Through the sycamores for me.
The new mown hay
Sends all its fragrance...

[Bobby:]
You know 'bout that jazz.

[Johnny:]
From the fields I used to roam.

[Bobby:]
I'm a Yankee myself.

[Johnny:]
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
then I long for my Indian home.

[Bobby:]
Sounds like it could be fun!

Back home again in Indiana

[Johnny:]
Way out west!

[Bobby:]
And it seems that I can see...

[Johnny:]
See what?

[Bobby:]
The gleaming' candlelight...

[Johnny:]
One watt.

[Bobby:]
Still shinin' bright
Through the sycamores for me.
The new mown hay...

[Johnny:]
Cut it yourself?

[Bobby:]
Yeah... sends all its fragrance
From the fields I use to roam.

[Johnny:]
Roamin' in the gloamin'.

[Bobby:]
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
then I long for my Indiana home.

[Johnny:]
When the meadowlark
Is singin' in the springtime...

[Bobby:]
I want to sing a little swing.

[Johnny:]
I got the key, just follow me.
Scat sing.

[Bobby:]
You mean?
Scat sing.

[Both:]
Scat sing.

[Johnny:]
When things are peachy
On the old Ogichee...

[Bobby:]
Where the heck is that?

When they start to shiver
On the Hudson River...

[Johnny:]
I know where that is!

[Bobby:] Yeah!

[Johnny:]
I dream of my Indiana...

[Bobby:]
New York and Old Savannah...

[Both:]
Dream of my Indiana home.
Scat sing

"Irresistible You"

"Irresistible You"

Irresistible you, my heart has gone to you
And while I resist, I'll be irresistibly drawn to you
I know from the first it was so
I was caught in the undertow from the moment we kissed

Irresistible you, you're in the heart of me
And your magic eyes seem to magnetize every part of me
I'm yours my heart and I insist, for we don't want to resist
Irresistible you

"It Ain't Necessarily So"

"It Ain't Necessarily So"

It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so
The things that you liable to read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so

You know David was small but, oh my
Little David was small but, oh my
He fought Big Goliath who just lay down and died
Little David might have been small but, oh my

Now Jonah, he lived in the whale
Old Jonah, he lived in the whale
Now he made his home in that fish's abdomen
Jonah resided in the whale

But it ain't necessarily so, no, it ain't necessarily so
They tell all your children that the devil, he's a villain
It ain't necessarily so

Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
And who calls that living when no girls gonna give in to no man
What's nine hundred years?

It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so
The things that you liable to read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so, no, it ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so

"It Had To Be You"

"It Had To Be You"

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you

Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do

For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you

Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do

For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still

It had to be you, wonderful you

It had to be you

"It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'"

"It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'"

I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
And the pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my empty dreams instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin'
Since you're gone

It keeps right on a-hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

They say a man ain't s'posed to cry
But when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
The pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my empty dreams instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

It keeps right on a-hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

"It's You Or No One"

"It's You Or No One"

How did I know that the warmth of the glow would last
And how did I guess that the long loneliness was past
I merely looked at you and I knew then and there I knew
It's you or no one for me

I'm sure of this every time we kiss
Now and forever when forever is done
You'll find that you are still the one

So please don't say no to my plea
'Cause if you do then I'm all through
There's this about you
My world's an empty world without you
It's you or no one for me

It's a matter of now and forever
When forever is all done
You'll find you are still the one

So please don't say no to my plea
'Cause if you do then I'm all through
There's this about you
My world's an empty world without you
It's you or no one for me

It's you or no one for me
It's you or no one for me

"Jailer, Bring Me Water"

"Jailer, Bring Me Water"

Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry.
Well, I never had me no money
Never had me no money
Never had me no money
I ain't that kind-a guy.

Oh, jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry

I'm gonna work 'til the good Lord calls me
Be workin' 'til the good Lord calls me
I'm gonna work until the good Lord calls me
It'll be in the by and by.

Oh, jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry.

Now, jailer, should ya see my baby
Jailer, if ya see my baby
Jailer, if ya see my baby
Just tell her I said, "Good-bye."

Everybody singin'

Jailer,
Jailer, bring me water
Come on jailer, bring me
Jailer, bring me water
Come on jailer, bring me
Jailer, bring me water
Come on jailer, bring me
My throat is kind-a dry.

Ah, jailer, won't ya bring me some...
Bring me water
Jailer, won't ya bring me some...
Bring me water
Jailer, won't ya bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry.

"Jingle Jangle Jungle"

"Jingle Jangle Jungle"

I live in a jingle jangle jungle
If you ain't got it you can't be
Fightin' over crumbs
Wait till payday comes
Gettin' green ink thumbs
From countin'
While it's mountin'
In this jingle jangle jungle I call home.

You live in a jingle jangle jungle
If you can't earn it you ain't free
Where a life is spent
Tryin' to meet the rent
Payin' back the cent
You borrow
Some tomorrow
In this jingle jangle jungle you call home.

We live in a jingle jangle jungle
You're only worth what you can buy
So keep on workin' hard
To keep your own back yard
Teach your kids that God
Ain't fiction
Contradiction
In this jingle jangle jungle you call home.

I live in a jingle jangle jungle
If it don't jingle it's gonna fold
All the things you own
Are only here on loan
It's by bread alone
You're livin'
Call this livin'
In this jingle jangle jungle we call home.

I live in a jingle jangle jungle
Where people die to make some green
Turnin' men to boys
Makin' new war toys
Dancin' to the noise
Of ticker
Can't get much sicker
In this jingle jangle jungle we can home.

"Just Friends"

"Just Friends"

Just friends, lovers no more
Just friends, but not like before

To think of what we've been
And not to kiss again
Seems like pretending
It isn't ending

Two friends drifting apart
Just two friends
But one broken heart
We loved we laughed we cried
Suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're just friends

Two friends, drifting part
Two friends, but one broken heart
We may have loved and laughed and cried
But suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're just friends

"Just In Time"

"Just In Time"

Now you're here
And now I know just where I'm goin'
No more doubts or fears
I've found my way.

For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life
That lovely day.

Just in time
I found you just in time
Before you came my time
Was runnin' low.

I was lost
The losin' dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed
Nowhere to go.

Now you're here
And now I know where I'm goin'
No more doubts or fears
I've found my way.

For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life
That lovely day.

Now you're here
And now I know exactly where I'm goin'
No more doubts or fears
I have found my way.

For love came just in time
You found me just in time
You changed my lonely life
That lovely...
It will always be lovely
Lonely life that lovely day.
