"I'm Just A Lucky So And So"

"I'm Just A Lucky So And So"


As I walk down the street
seems everyone I meet
gives me a friendly hello.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so

The birds in every tree
are all so neighborly.
They sing wherever I go.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so

If you should ask me the amount
in my bank account
I'd have to confess that I'm slippin'
but that don't worry me, confidentially
I've got a dream that's a pippin'

and when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
a home where love waits, I know.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so

and when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
a home where love waits, I know.
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so

I'm just a lucky, lucky so and so

"I'm Making Believe"

"I'm Making Believe"


I'm making believe that you're in my arms
Though I know you're so far away
Making believe I'm talking to you
Wish you could hear what I say

And here in the gloom of my lonely room
We're dancing like we used to do
Making believe is just another way of dreaming
So till my dreams come true

I'll whisper, "Good night"
Turn out the light and kiss my pillow
Making believe it's you

I'm making believe that you're in my arms
Though I know you're so far away
Making believe I'm talkin' to you
Wish you could hear what I say

And here in the gloom of my lonely room
We're dancing like we used to do
Making believe is just another way of dreamin'
So till my dreams come true

I'll whisper, "Good night"
Turn out the light and kiss my pillow
Making believe it's you

And here in the gloom of my lonely room
We're dancing like we used to do
Making believe is just another way of dreamin'
So till my dreams come true

I'll whisper, "Good night"
Turn out the light and kiss my pillow
Making believe it's you

"I'm Old Fashioned"

"I'm Old Fashioned"


I am not such a clever one
About the latest fads
I admit I was never one
Adored by local lads

Not that I ever try to be a saint
I'm the type that they classify as quaint

I'm old fashioned
I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things

The sound of rain
Upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings

This year's fancies
Are passing fancies
But sighing sighs holding hands
These my heart understands

I know I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
Oh please stay old fashioned with me

"I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket"

"I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket"


I've been a roaming Romeo
My Juliets have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you

I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through

I've got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey
And I've decided
Love divided
In two
Won't do

So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I've got on you

I've been a roaming Juliet
My Romeos have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you

I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through

I've tried to love more than one
Finding it just can't be done
Honey
There's one I lie to
When I try to
Be true
To two

So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I've got on you

"I've Got A Crush On You"

"I've Got A Crush On You"


Hmmmmm I've got a crush on someone. Guess who
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All day and night time give me sign
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I've got a crush my baby on you

How glad the million ralish from millionairs to carish
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell

You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never never know
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage
That we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you

"I've Got Five Dollars"

"I've Got Five Dollars"


Mister Shylock was stingy
I was miserly too.
I was more selfish
and crabby than a shellfish.
Oh, dear, it's queer
what love can do!
I'd give all my possessions
for you
I've got five dollars
I'm in good conditions
and I've got ambition
that belongs to you.
Six shirts and collars
debts beyond endurance
on my life insurance
that belongs to you!
I've got a heart
that must be spurtin'!
Just be certain
I'll be true
Take my five dollars!
Take my shirt and collars!
Take my heart and hollers!
"Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!"
I've got five dollars
eighty-five relations
two lace combinations
they belongs to you!
Two coats with collars
Ma and Grandma wore'em
all the moths adore 'em
they belongs to you!
I've got two lips
that care for mating
therefore waiting
will not do!
Take my five dollars!
Take my shirt and collars!
Take my heart and hollers!
"Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!"

"I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm"

"I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm"


[Ella]
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm

I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
Oh, what do I care if icicles form?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

[Louis]
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm

I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

[Ella]
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm, storm, storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

"I've Got The World On A String"

"I've Got The World On A String"


I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - I'm in love

I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see - I'm in love

Life's a wonderful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let her go

"I've Got You Under My Skin"

"I've Got You Under My Skin"


I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.

[Musical interlude]

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin.

"If You Can't Sing It"

"If You Can't Sing It"


The concert was over in Carnegie Hall
The maestro took bow after bow
He said, "My dear friends, I have given my all
I'm sorry, it's all over now"
When from the balcony way up high
There suddenly came a mournful cry

Oh, Mr. Paganini
Please, play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it, won't you sing it?
And if you can't sing, you simply have to
Swing it

Listen, Paganini
We breathlessly await your masterful detente
Go on and sling it
And if you can't sling it, you simply have to
Swing it

We heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you with wild applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation of
I never cared much for moonlight skies
I never blinked back at fireflies
Would do

So, Paganini, don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve?
Come on and spring it
And if you can't spring it, you simply have to
Swing it

Listen, Paganini
Please, play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it, won't you sing it?
If the boys is bopping
Ain't no need in stopping
Swing it

Listen, Paganini
We breathlessly await your masterful detente
Come on and spring it
If the boys is bopping
Ain't no need in stopping
Swing it

I heard your repertoire and
At the final bar
We greeted you, we greeted you
With wild applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation of
Swing it

Listen, Paganini
Now, don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve?
Come on and spring it
And if you can't spring it, you simply have to
Swing it
