"Angel Eyes"

"Angel Eyes"

Hey drink up all you people
And order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink and the laugh's on me

Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My poor old heart ain't gainin' any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here

Angel eyes, that old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all of you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The drink and the laugh's on me

Pardon me but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I gotta find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
'Scuse me while I disappear

"Antonia"

"Antonia"

Antonia
Soon you will out grow my arms
Soon enough you'll discover
Other boys have charms

Antonia, woman child
Won't be long, you drive 'em wild
But in the meantime, stay your daddy's girl
And wrap me round your little finger

Antonia, take it slow
When it's right, you let me know
But in the meantime let me be the guy
One you turn to till you learn to fly

Antonia
Soon you will out grow my arms
Soon enough you'll discover
Other boys have charms

Antonia, you will bloom
Leaving me your empty room
And anytime I'm lonely, I can find
The teddy bear and pony Antonia left behind

"Anything Goes"
(with Lady Gaga)
(originally by Cole Porter)

[Lady Gaga:]
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows, anything goes

[Tony Bennett:]
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words writing prose
Anything goes

[Tony Bennett:]
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today

[Lady Gaga:]
And day's night today
And black's white today

[Tony Bennett:]
When most guys today that women prize today

[Lady Gaga:]
Are just silly gigolos

[Tony Bennett:]
And though I'm not a great romancer

[Lady Gaga:]
I know you're bound to answer

[Both:]
When we propose, anything goes

[Tony Bennett:]
GO!

[Lady Gaga:]
GO!

[Lady Gaga:]
The world has gone mad today

[Tony Bennett:]
And good's bad today

[Lady Gaga:]
And day's night today

[Tony Bennett:]
And black's white today

[Lady Gaga:]
When most guys today that women prize today
Are just silly gigolos

[Both:]
And though we're not such great romancers
We know that you're bound to answer
When we propose, anything goes

[Tony Bennett:]
Anything goes

[Lady Gaga:]
Anything goes

[Both:]
Anything goes

"April In Paris"

"April In Paris"

April in Paris
Chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees

April in Paris
This is a feeling
No one can ever reprise
I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never knew that my heart could sing
I never miss the warm embrace 'til
April in Paris
Whom can I run to
What have you done to my heart
Look what you’ve done, what you’ve done, what you’ve done
To my heart

"Are You Havin' Any Fun?"
(feat. Elvis Costello)

"Are You Havin' Any Fun?"
(feat. Elvis Costello)

Hey fellow with a million smackers
And nervous indigestion
Rich fellow, eats milk and crackers
I'll ask you one question
You silly so and so
With all your dough....

Are you havin' any fun?
What y'gettin' out o' livin'?
What good is what you've got
If you're not havin' any fun?

Are you havin' any laughs?
Are you gettin' any lovin'?
If other people do,
So can you, have a little fun

After the honey's in the cone
Little bees go out and play
Even the old grey mare down home
Has got to have hay....HEY!

You better have some fun
You ain't gonna live forever
Before you're old and gray, feel okay
Have your little fun, son!
Have your little fun!

Why do you work and slave and save?
Life is full of ifs and buts
You know the squirrels save and save
And what have they got.....NUTS!

Better have a little fun
You ain't gonna live forever
Before you're old and grey, still okay
Have your little fun, son!
Have your little fun!
Are you havin' any fun?

"As Time Goes By"

"As Time Goes By"

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like third dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth
At times relax, relieve the tension
No matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply as time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings, as time goes by

Moonlight and love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by

The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by

"At Long Last Love"

"At Long Last Love"

Is it an earthquake
Or simply a shock
Is it the good turtle soup
Or merely the mock

Is it a cocktail
This feeling of joy
Or is what I feel
The real McCoy

Is it for all time
Or simply a lark
Is it Granada I see
Or only Asbury Park

Is it a fancy
Not worth thinking of
Or is it at long last love?

"Autumn In Rome"

"Autumn In Rome"

Autumn in Rome
My heart remembers fountains where children played
Gardens where dreams were made

Autumn in Rome
Memories like embers glow
When I seem to hear, “Arrivederci, dear.”

Walks beneath the pines that grace the golden sky
Stopping now and then to share a lover's sigh, you and I
Let winter come
All my Decembers I'll spend just dreaming of the way we fell in love
One lovely Autumn in Rome

"Autumn Leaves"

"Autumn Leaves"

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

"Baby Don't You Quit Now"

"Baby Don't You Quit Now"

What you do to me
You get through to me
With a beautiful vibration
That is new to me
And instead of no
What comes out is, Oh
baby, baby, don’t you quit now

When tomorrow lips
Meet two coral lips
Then they kiss me, now and later
We can quarrel lips

I should turn you off
But you turn me on
So baby, baby don’t you quit now

Every kiss I take
Is a piece of cake
And to give me a sample
Was your first mistake
Cause I know when a little tastes like more
And now I want the whole darn
Bakery store

Take my pay from me
Christmas day from
Go anywhere you want
Except away from me
Quit tomorrow noon
Or nine o’clock
The fifth of June
But baby, don’t you quit now

I should turn you off
But you turn me on
Baby, baby don’t you quit now

Mm mm mm mm mmmmm
Aha ha ha ha ha
La dee da da da dee da da

Quit tomorrow noon
Or at nine o’clock
The fifth of June
But baby, don’t quit now
