"Pretend"

"Pretend"

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend

Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be alot if you pretend

You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

[Musical Interlude]

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be your, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

"Ramblin' Rose"

"Ramblin' Rose"

Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why you ramble, no one knows
Wild and wind-blown, that's how you've grown
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?

Ramble on, ramble on
When your ramblin' days are gone
Who will love you with a love true
When your ramblin' days are GONE

Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why I want you, heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?

SPOKEN
"One more time, everybody, now"

Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why I want you, heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?

"Red Sails In The Sunset"

"Red Sails In The Sunset"

{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
{She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue}
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you

Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more

{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me

Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more

{Red sails in the sunset}
Way out on the sea (ooh-wee-ooh, wee-ooh)
Oh, carry my loved one
{Home safely to me}

[bracketed words are sung by Nat in unison with background singers]

"Road To Nowhere"

"Road To Nowhere"

Goodbye, lonely heartache,
Farewell, bitter tears.
I'm leaving forever,
And not just for years.

You're home again, darling,
And I love you so.
But you love another,
That's why I must go.

Down the road to nowhere,
I'll wander my lonely days through.
Down the road to nowhere,
I'm nowhere at all without you.

Our favorite places
That made moments fly
Just can't be forgotten,
But still I must try.

The dance where I met you
When you walked my way,
I cry when I pass them
So I'll drift away.

Down the road to nowhere,
I'll wander my lonely days through.
Down the road to nowhere,
I'm nowhere at all without you...
I'm nowhere at all without you...
I'm nowhere at all without you.

"Rose Room"

"Rose Room"

I want to take you to a little room
A little room where all the roses bloom
I want to lead you into Nature's hall
Where ev'ry year the roses give a ball
They have an orchestra up in the trees
For their musicians are the birds and bees
And they will sing us a song
As we are strolling along

In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing
Where the honey bees are "A-Maying"
There all the roses are swaying
Dancing while the meadow brook flows
The moon when shining is more than ever designing
For 'tis ever then I am pining
Pining to be sweetly reclining
Somewhere in Roseland
Beside a beautiful rose

The ball is over and tulips meet
Their little kisses are so short and sweet
The lilies nod to the forget-me-nots
When they're departing in their flower pots
But all the roses with their spirits high
Remain to love until they droop and die
And dear, why shouldn't it be
Just so with you and with me

In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing
Where the honey bees are "A-Maying"
There all the roses are swaying
Dancing while the meadow brook flows
The moon when shining is more than ever designing
For 'tis ever then I am pining
Pining to be sweetly reclining
Somewhere in Roseland
Beside a beautiful rose

"Route 66"

"Route 66"

If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way
Take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66

It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Now you go through St. Louis
Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty
You see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66

"Say It Isn't So"

"Say It Isn't So"

Say it isn't so...
Say it isn't so.
Everyone is saying you don't love me,
Say it isn't so.

Everywhere I go,
Everyone I know
Whispers that you're growing tired of me,
Say it isn't so.

People say that you
Found somebody new,
And it won't be long before you leave me,
Say it isn't true.

Say that everything is still okay,
That's all I want to know.
And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.

People say passing by
Say he's younger than I
And it won't be long before you leave me,
Tell me it's a lie.

Say that everything is still okay,
That's all I want to know.
And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.

"Send For Me"

"Send For Me"

When you want
A true lover
Send for me...send for me
You'll never want
Any other
Send for me...send for me
I promise you
I'll be true

Don't hurry
If you've got big trouble
Don't worry

On your friend

A-mornin', noon and night
In the early bright
Don't you fret, my pretty pet
I'm gonna treat you right

Don't you dare
Raise a hair

Your every care
Anywhere
Oh, yeah
Send for me...I'll be there

That upsets you
Send for me...send for me

Wait and see...wait and see
Don't delay
Right away

"September Song"

"September Song"

Oh, it's a long, long while
From May to December
But the days grow short
When you reach September
When the autumn weather
Turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time
For the waiting game

Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you
These precious days
I'll spend with you

"Serenata"

"Serenata"

Tonight while all the world is still
Fly sweet song over the highest hill
Go to my loved one, Serenata for me
Sing him my song, love's melody

Tonight, when we are so far apart
Bring him back, back to my lonely heart
Go to my loved one Serenata and say
When you're in love, love finds a way

Go to my loved one Serenata for me
Sing him my song, love's melody

Go to my loved one, Serenata and say
When you're in love, love finds a way
Love finds a way, love finds a way
Love finds a way
