"Straighten Up And Fly Right"

"Straighten Up And Fly Right"

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air,
The monkey thought that everything
was on the square.
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey
off his back,
The monkey grabbed his neck and said,
"Now listen, Jack..."

Straighten up and fly right,
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
Ain't no use in divin',
What's the use in jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

The buzzard told the monkey,
You are chokin' me.
Release your hold and I'll set you free.
The monkey looked the buzzard right
dead in the eye and said,
Your story's so touching, but it sounds
just like a lie.

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Ain't no use in divin'
Ain't no good in jivin'
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow - your - top.

Fly right!

"Sweet Lorraine"
(originally by Rudy Vallee)

"Sweet Lorraine"
(originally by Rudy Vallee)

Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine.

A pair of eyes
That are brighter than the summer sky
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine.

Now when it's rainin',
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine.

Now when it's rainin'
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine.

"Take A Fool's Advice"

"Take A Fool's Advice"

If you love her
And she makes one mistake,
Please don't leave her
It would make your heart ache.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price I had to pay.

If you need her
But you're letting her go,
Please don't do it
You'll be sorry, I know.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price I had to pay.

Truly,
She's caused you to doubt her,
Truly,
She's broken the rules.
But life's not worth living without her,
So listen to the wisdom of a fool.

Think it over
And forgive her this time,
I was foolish
I lost the love that was mine.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price I had to pay.

Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price I had to pay.

"Tenderly"

"Tenderly"

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

"Thanks To You"

"Thanks To You"

Thank you for teaching me how to love
Showing me what the world means
What I've been dreaming of
And now I know there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to you

For teaching me how to feel
Showing me my emotions
Letting me know what's real
From what is not

What I've got is more
That I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you

No mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace

Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to you

There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace

Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to you
Thanks to you

For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Teaching me how to give
And how to take

No mistake
We were put here together
And if I breakdown
Forgive me but it's true

That I'm aching
With the love I feel inside
Thanks to you
Thanks to you

"That's All There Is (There Isn't Anymore)"

"That's All There Is (There Isn't Anymore)"

That's all there is,
There isn't any more, my sweet.
I've gone about as far as I can go.

I realize the things you did
You had to do,
And they weren't so terribly bad to do.
But you shouldn't have told me,
I didn't want to know.

Maybe I tried too hard,
I thought that we could reach the sky.
I guess
The mountain was too high to climb
I put a sign that says, "FOR SALE"
On all my dreams
And a permanent lock on my door.

That's all there is,
There isn't any more.

But if you need me,
Call me, baby...
Call me.

"That's All There Is To That"

"That's All There Is To That"

Did you ever watch the one you love
slowly drifting away form you
And you know deep in your heart
There is nothing you can do
To make her stay, to turn the tide
To ease the pain that you feel inside
Oh when her eyes say it's over and done
Then you simply must face the fact

So you leave and think it's over
But you come hurrying back
Hoping she'll change her mind
Praying she'll take you back
But like the lady said
That's all there is to that

"That's My Girl"

"That's My Girl"

That's my girl
Take a look at her, she belongs to me
Yes, that's my girl
Hands off, don't touch

She looks just like an angel
But she's human all the same
So I'm not takin' chances
I won't tell her address or even her name

'Cause that's my girl
I'm addin' her to my family
And I love that girl
And everything's fine

So until the day that she says yes
Keep my fingers crossed
'Cause that's my girl
And she's gonna stay mine

That's my girl, you hear me
I'm addin' her to my family
And I love that girl
And everything's fine

So until the day that she says yes
Keep my fingers crossed
'Cause that's my girl
And she's gonna stay mine

She's all mine, every curvy line
And even those dark brown curls
Now lay off, that's my girl

"The Christmas Song"

"The Christmas Song"

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times
Many ways, Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times
Many ways, Merry Christmas to you
