"I'm In Love Again"

"I'm In Love Again"


Why am I
Just as happy as a child
Why am I
Like a racehorse running wild
Why am I
In a state of ecstasy
The reason is 'cause something's happened to me

I'm in love again, and the spring is comin'
I'm in love again, hear my heart strings strummin'
I'm in love again, and the hymn I'm hummin'
Is the "Huddle Up, Cuddle Up Blues"

I'm in love again, and I can't rise above it
I'm in love again, and I love, love, love it
I'm in love again, and I'm darn glad of it
Good news

Someone sad had the awful luck to meet
Someone bad, but the kind of bad that's sweet
No one knows what a glimpse of paradise
Someone who's naughty showed to someone who's nice

I'm in love again, and with glee I bubble
I'm in love again, and the fun's just double
I'm in love again, if I got in trouble
I'll be cursin' one person I know

I'm in love again, I'm a lovebird sigin'
I'm in love again, I'm the spring lamb springin'
I'm in love again, weddin' bells are ringin'
Let's go

"I'm Just Wild About Harry"

"I'm Just Wild About Harry"


I'm just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me
The heavenly caresses of his kisses
Fills me with ecstasy
He's as sweet as chocolate candy
And just like honey from a bee
Oh I'm just wild about Harry
And he's just wild about
Cannot do without
He is from the south
Can't you hear me shout
Talking with my mouth
Could you ever doubt
He's just wild about me

"I've Got A Right To Sing The Blues"

"I've Got A Right To Sing The Blues"


I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low down
I gotta right to hang around
Down around the river

A certain gal in this old town
Keeps draggin' my poor heart around
All I see, for me is misery

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to sit and cry
Down around the river

I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love say, what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues

I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love say, what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues

"I've Got The World On A String"

"I've Got The World On A String"


I've got the world on a string
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
Anytime I move my finger.
Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love?

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

I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! What a life! I'm in love.

"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
You're really a part of me

I've got you under my skin
I've 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, darling, I know so well
I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what may
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And 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

I'd sacrifice anything come what may
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And 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, yes, I've got you
Ooh, I've got you under my skin

"If Dreams Come True"

"If Dreams Come True"


If dreams come true
My dream's of you
At night when you are away
My heart is yearning to say

If dreams come true
I'll be with you
We'd love, we two
If dreams come true

Oh, if my dreams come true
I'll be with you
My dream's so true
We'd love, we two
If dreams come true

"If I Should Lose You"

"If I Should Lose You"


If I should lose you, the stars would fall from the sky
If I should lose you, leaves would wither and die
The birds in May-time, they'd sing a mournful refrain
And I would wander around, hating the sound of rain

With you beside me, the rose would bloom in the snow
With you beside me, no winds of winter would blow
I gave you my love, and I was living a dream
But living would seem, in vain
If I
(Hating the rain, if I)
(All is in vain if I)
If I ever lost you

"If You Go"

"If You Go"


(If you should go, if you should leave him alone
There'll be no spring or birds to sing
There'd be no sun to shine on him)

If you go, if you love me no more
If I know that you want me no more
Then the sun would lose its light
And day turn into night
Night without stars
Deep night without stars

If you go, if you leave me alone
If I know you're no longer my own
Winter would replace the spring
The birds no more would sing
This cannot be, stay here with me
My heart would die I know
If you should go

Winter would replace the spring
The birds no more would sing
This cannot be, oh, stay here with me
My heart would die I know
If you should go

"Is That All There Is?"
(originally by Dan Daniels)

"Is That All There Is?"
(originally by Dan Daniels)



I remember when I was a little girl
Our house caught on fire
I'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me up in his arms and
Raced through the burning building out to the pavement
And I stood there shivering in my pajamas and
Watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over, I said to myself
“Is that all there is to a fire”

Is that all there is
Is that all there is
If that's all there is, my friends
Then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

And when I was twelve years old
My daddy took me to a circus
“The Greatest Show on Earth”
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over, I said to myself
“Is that all there is to a circus”

Is that all there is
Is that all there is
If that's all there is, my friends
Then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

And then I fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
And then one day, he went away
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't
And when I didn't, I said to myself
“Is that all there is to love”

Is that all there is
Is that all there is
If that's all there is, my friends
Then let's keep

I know what you must be saying to yourselves
“If that's the way she feels about it
Why doesn't she just end it all”
Oh, no, not me
I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment
Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath
I'll be saying to myself

Is that all there is
Is that all there is
If that's all there is, my friends
Then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

"It Ain't Necessarily So"


It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
De things dat yo' liable to read in de Bible

Lil David was small but oh my
Lil David was small but oh my
He fought big Goliath who lay down and dieth
Lil David was small but oh my

Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
For he made his home in dat fish's abdomen
Oh Jonah he lived in de whale

Lil Moses was found in a stream
Lil Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water 'til ole Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him she says from that stream

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
Dey tell all you chillun de debble's a villain
But 'taint necessarily so

To get into Hebben don' snap for a sebben
Live clean, don' have no fault
Oh I takes dat gospel whenever it's pos'ble
But wid a grain of salt

But who calls dat livin' when no gal'll give in
To no man what's nine hundred years

I'm preachin' dis sermon to show

Ain't nessa, ain't nessa
It ain't necessarily so
