"Little Girl Blue"
"Little Girl Blue"
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold
Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky, litle girl blue
Sit there, and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?

"Living For The City"
"Living For The City"
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah!
His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
[Repeat several times]
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city...v yeah,yeah,yeah!
I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don't change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city!!!!
La, La, La, La, La, La,
Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
[Repeat to end]

"Lonely Avenue"
"Lonely Avenue"
Now my room has got two windows
But the sunshine never comes through
You know it's always dark and dreary
Since I broke off, baby with you
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say I do
Well, I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
Because I live on a lonely avenue
Lonely avenue
Now my covers they feel like lead
And my pillow it feels like stone
Well, I've tossed and turned so every night
I'm not used to being alone
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say I do
Well, I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
Because I live on a lonely avenue
Lonely avenue
Lonely avenue
Lonely avenue
Now I've been so sad and lonesome
Since you've left this town
You know if I could beg or borrow the money
Child, I would be a highway bound
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say I do
Well, I feel so sad and blue
You know its all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue

"Losing Hand"
"Losing Hand"
I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
Your ways keep changing like the shifting desert sand
While I was playing fair baby, you played a cheating game
While I was playing fair baby, you played a cheating game
I know you don't care, but I love you just the same
I thought I'd be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen
I thought I'd be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen
But you used me for your joker ´cause I thought you're deal was clean
The way you did me pretty baby, I declare I never understand
The way you did me pretty baby, I declare I never understand
I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand

"Love Me Tonight (Lover, Love Me Tonight)"
"Love Me Tonight (Lover, Love Me Tonight)"
[Verse (published but not sung in the film)]
There's a glistening ring
Around the moon-
Are you listening?
It is not too soon-
Must we sleep tonight alone?
Let us keep tonight
As our very own.
Your heart and my heart
Were made to meet.
Don't make them wait-
Love me tonight!
Why sould our lips
Be afraid to meet?
Love me tonight.
Who knows what tomorrow brings
With the morning light?
Dear, I'm here
With a heart that sings
Love me tonight!

"Love Never Went To College"
"Love Never Went To College"
A pretty girl and a bright young man
Try to be friends but never can.
That is what perplexes
Young folks of opposite sexes.
Love likes to pull their legs a bit.
So you're either in love or out of it
Love doesn't make much sense
But his technique is immense.
Love never went to college
Ignorant boy, that.
But think of the joy that he starts.
His work requires no knowledge
So he can do it
By using intuitive arts.
He just says, "You two kids
Start falling in love
I ain't got brains
But I reigns over all these parts."
Love never went to college
Never had teaching
But yet he keeps reaching our hearts!

"Love With The Proper Stranger"
"Love With The Proper Stranger"
I could fall in love with the proper stranger
If I heard the bells and the banjos ring
If two certain eyes with the look of danger
Smiled a welcome warm as Spring
If the tom-tom in my heart sounded out a warning
"Don't let her, don't let her walk through the door"
"This is the one you've been waiting for"
Oh, yes, I'd know
However wild it seems, you know I'd know
And I'd whisper
"Come take my hand, proper stranger"
"Don't go through life as a stranger"
"For I'm a poor proper stranger, too"

"Lover"
"Lover"
Lover, when I'm near you, and I hear you, speak my name
Softly, in my ear you, breathe a flame
Lover, when we're dancing, keep on glancing, in my eyes
Till loves own entrancing, music dies
All of my future is in you
Your every plan I design
Promise you'll always continue
To be mine
Lover, please be tender, when you're tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender, to my heart
[Instrumental Bridge]
Lover, it's immoral, but why quarrel, with our bliss
When, two lips of coral, want to kiss
I say the devil is in you, and to resist you, I try
But if you didn't continue, I would die
Lover, please be tender, when you're tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender, to my heart

"Ma (She's Making Eyes At Me)"
"Ma (She's Making Eyes At Me)"
Ma, she's making eyes at me
Ma, she looks so good to me
Ma, she's almost breaking my heart
I'm beside her, please let her conscience guide her
Ma, she wants to marry me
Be my honey bee
Every minute she gets bolder
Now she's leaning on my shoulder
Ma, the girl's kissing me
Ma, she don't look good to me
Ma, her waist is 53
Ma, she's almost ruined my car
When we go out the tires all begin to blow out
Ma, she wants to marry me
You know that could never be
Suppose a baby should come later
It's got to look like an alligator
Ma, won't don't you rescue me, hey
Ma, I found out she's got dough
Ma, the girl owns the B&O
She just bought eight city blocks
In New York City
You know, all at once the girl looks pretty
Ma, if I would say "I do"
She would promise to
Make my future very pleasant
Fort Knox would be my wedding present
Ma, she looks good to me
Buy me the seven seas to swim in
Replace the fish with gorgeous women
Ma, she looks good to me
Ma, she looks good to me
