Arlen-Mercer

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up and down my spine
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.

That same old tingle that I feel inside
When that elevator starts its ride
‘Round and ‘round I go, up and down I go
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide.

I should stay away but what can I do ?
I hear your name and I'm aflame
A flame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss, kiss, kiss can put out the fire.

You're the lover that I've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby, ‘round and ‘round I go, up and down I go
In a spin, I'm loving that spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love.

I should stay away but what can I do ?
I hear your name and I'm aflame
A flame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss, kiss, kiss can put out the fire.

You're the lover that I've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby, ‘round and ‘round I go, up and down I go
In a spin, I'm loving that spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love.

I should stay away but what can I do ?
I should stay away but what can I do ?
I should stay away
I should stay away but what can I do ?

Lawrence-Trenet

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sand
And watches the ships that go sailing.

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Fell straight to her arms I'd go sailing.

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will leave me there soon, yeah.

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will leave me there soon, yeah.

We'll meet, I know we'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
And never again I'll go sailing
My heart will leave me
Beyond the sea ...

Porter

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin.

I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I will know so well
That I've got you under my skin ?

I'd sacrifice anything come what may
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear.

Don't you know, you fool, you never can win ?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time 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 having you near
In spite of that warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear.

Don't you know, you fool, you never can win ?
Use your mentality, wake up, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yeah, I've got that feeling my skin.
Yeah, I've got you, I've got you, I've got you under my skin.

Adams-Grever

What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain.

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine, oh mine.

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss.

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you.

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine.

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss.

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you
The difference, the difference is you.

Porter

I get no kick from Champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you ?

I get no kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I heard even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
But I get a kick out of you .

I get a kick every time I see you
Standin' there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see
You obviously don't adore me.

I get no kick kick in a plane
Flying too high with some girl in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you.

I get a kick every time I see you
Standin' there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see
That you obviously do not adore me.

I get no kick kick in a plane, oh yeah
Flying too high with some girl in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do, you know what, babe
I get a kick, you give me a thrill, I get a kick out of you.

Arlen-Koehler

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.

I've got a song that I sing
And I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love ?

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

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, oh what a life, I'm in love.

But life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold that string
I'd be a crazy so-and-so
If I should ever let you go, oh yeah.

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
Oh yeah, I'm in love, I'm in love ...

Donaldson-Kahn

This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I've got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go.

Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely then happy with somebody else.

You might find the night time, the right time for kissin'
But night time is my time for just reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else.

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue.

I want your love but I don't want to borrow
Have it today and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else, nobody else.

Oh yeah.

(Leave me, baby)

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue.

I want your love but I don't want to borrow
So have it today andgive back tomorrow
My love is your love, there's no love for nobody else
There's no love for nobody else.

Washington-Young

The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart.

There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss.

For your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start.

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart.

There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss, oh yeah.

Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start.

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart

Dubin-Warren

The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember, in september in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
In september in the rain.

To every word of love I heard, you whisper
The raindrops seem to play a sweet refrain.

Though spring is here, to me it's still september
Ooh, that september in the rain.

To every word of love I heard, you whisper
The raindrops seem to play a sweet refrain.

Though spring is here, to me it's still september
That september, in the rain
That september, in the rain
That september, in the rain
That september, in the rain.

Howard

Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me.

Fill my heart with song and let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.

In other words, please, be true
In other words, I love you.

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me.

Fill my life with song and let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.

In other words, please, please, be true
In other words, I love you.

McHugh

.......

Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat or that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade with all them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid 'cause this rover crossed over.

If I never had a cent, I'll be as rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street, sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade with all them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid 'cause this rover crossed over.

If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockefeller
With that gold dust 'round my feet on the sunny side, on the side, side of the street, oh yeah.

Mancini-Merder

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
You, dream maker, you, heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way.

Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting ‘round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me.

Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting ‘round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me.

Dixon-Henderson

Blackbird, blackbird singing the blues all day
Right outside of my door
Blackbird, blackbird gotta be on my way
Where there's sunshine galore

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye bye blackbird.

No one here can love and understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye, yeah yeah.

Bluebird, bluebird calling me far away
I've been waiting for you
Bluebird, bluebird, this is my lucky day
Now my dreams will come true.

So pack up all my care and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye bye blackbird.

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
So make my bed and light the light
I will come late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye
Blackbird, bye bye
Blackbird, bye bye.

Marx-Simons

All of me, why not take all of me ?
Can't you see I'm no good without you ?
Take my lips, I want to lose them
Take my arms, I'll never use them.

Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on, dear, without you ?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me ?

All of me, why not take all of me ?
Can't you see I'm no good without you ?
Take my lips, I want to lose them
Take my arms, I'll never ever use them.

Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on, dear, without you ?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me ?
So why not take all of me ?
Take all, take all of me ?

Moret-Whiting

I'm not much to look at, I'm nothing to see
I'm just glad I'm living, lucky to be
I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way.

I can't save a dollar, I ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler, she'd live in a tent
I've got a woman, crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way.

Though she loves to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if I went away.

Oh, but why should I leave her? Why should I go ?
She'd be unhappy without me, I know
I've got a woman crazy for me
She's funny that way.
I've got a woman mad about for me
She's funny, she's how so funny, funny that way.

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Dance with me
I want my arm about you
The charm about you
Will carry me through...
To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me
I want my arm about you
The charm about you
Will carry me through...
To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Brooks-Razaf-Waller

No one to talk with, all by myself
No one to walk with but I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you.

I know for certain the one you love
I'm through with flirtin', it's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you.

Like Jack Horner in the corner
Don't go nowhere, what do I care ?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me.

I don't stay out late, don't care to go
I'm home about eight, just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you, ain't misbehavin'.

Like Jack Horner in the corner
Don't go nowhere, what do I care ?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me.

No one to talk with, all by myself
No one to walk with but I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin', savin' my love for you.

And I don't stay out late, I don't care to go
I'm home about eight, just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you
Mmm, savin' my love for you.

Heyman-Young

Maybe I'm old fashioned feelig as I do
Maybe I'm just living in the part
But when I meet the right one, I know I'll be true
My first love will be my last.

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love.

In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.

Oh, when I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.

Oh, when I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
