AFTER YOU'VE GONE (Creamer/Layton)
After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone there's no denying
You'll feel blue you're gonna be sad
You've missed the dearest pal that (slickest partner) you ever had

There'll come a time don't you forget it
There'll come a time when you're gonna regret it
Some day when you get lonely
Your heart will break like mine (and) you'll want me only

After you've gone, after you've gone away (flown the coop)
After we paid our dues together
You should have stayed through all that nasty weather
Someday while you're feeling badly
You'll need the only one that loves you so madly
But I'll be gone yes I'll be gone to stay
Yeah after I've gone after I've gone away
AIN'T SHE SWEET ()
Ain't she sweet, see her walking down the street
Well, I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet? 

Ain't she nice, look her over once or twice
Well, I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet 

Just cast an eye in her direction
Oh me, oh my,
Ain't that perfection? 

I repeat, don't you think she's kind of neat?
Well, I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?
ALL OF ME (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

AUTUMN LEAVES (Johnny Merser/Jacques Prevert/Joseph Kosma)
Autumn leaves fall and swept out of sight
The words that you said have come true
Autumn leaves fall and swept out of sight
So are the memories of love that we knew
The wind of forgetfulness blows them
Into the night of regret
The song you would so often sing
Is echoing, echoing yet
The falling leaves drift by the window
And 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 grew 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
BLUE MOON (Rodgers/Hart)
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
CHORUS
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked at the Moon it turned to gold

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
CHORUS

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
CARAVAN (Duke Ellington/Juan Tizol/Words by Irving Mills 1937)
Night and stars above that shine so bright 
The myst'ry of their fading light 
That shines upon our caravan 

Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep 
Across the sand so I may keep 
The mem'ry of our caravan 

This is so exciting 
You are so inviting 
Resting in my arms 
As I thrill to the magic charms 

Of you beside me here beneath the blue 
My dream of love is coming true 
Within our desert caravan!
CRY ME A RIVER
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said 
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me...
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on! Come on!
Cry me a river, cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME (W.Schwant/F.Andre/G.Kahn) 
Stars shining bright above you 
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you 
Birds singing in the sycamore tree 
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty night and kiss me 
just hold me tight and tell me you miss me 
While I'm alone and blue as can be 
Dream an little dream of me
CHORUS
Stars fading but I linger on dear still craving your kiss 
now I'm longing to linger till dawn dear just saying this 

Sweet dreams till something find you 
Sweet dream that leave your worries behind you 
But in your dreams whatever they be 
Dream a little dream of me 
CHORUS
But in your dreams whatever they be you gotta make me a promise 
promise to me you'll dream a little dream of me
FLY ME TO THE MOON (Bart Howard) 
Intro: 
Poets often use many words to say a simple thing. 
It takes thought and time and rhyme to make a poem sing. 
With music and words I've been playing. 
For you I have written a song 
To be sure that you'll know what I'm saying, 
I'll translate as I go along. 

Fly me to the moon 
Let me sing among those stars 
Let me see what spring is like 
On Jupiter and Mars 

In other words, hold my hand 
In other words, baby kiss me 

Fill my heart with song 
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 

GEORGIA ON MY MIND (Ray Charles)
Melodies bring memories
That linger in my heart,
Make me think of Georgia,
Why did we ever part_?
Some sweet day, when blossoms fall
And all the world's a song,
I'll go back to Georgia
'Cause that's where I belong.
Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through,
Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia,
A song of you
Come as sweet and clear as
Moonlight through the pines.
Other arms reach out to me,
Other eyes smile tenderly,
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you.
Georgia, Georgia,
No peace I find,
Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia on my mind.
Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through,
Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia,
A song of you
Come as sweet and clear as
Moonlight through the pines.
Other arms reach out to me,
Other eyes smile tenderly,
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you.
Georgia, Georgia,
No peace I find,
Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia on my mind
THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA
Tall and tan and young and lovely 
The girl from Ipanema goes walking 
And when she passes, each one she passes goes "ah" 

When she walks, she's like a samba 
That swings so cool and sways so gentle 
That when she passes, each one she passes goes ooh 

Ooh) But I watch her so sadly 
How can I tell her I love her 
Yes I would give my heart gladly 
But each day, when she walks to the sea 
She looks straight ahead, not at me 

Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely 
The girl from Ipanema goes walking 
And when she passes I smile, but she doesn't see 

olha que coisa mais linda 
mais cheia de graca e a menina que ven 
e que passa 
um doce balanco a caminho do mar 

moca do corpo dourado do sol de ipamena 
o seu balancado e mais que um poema 
e a coisa mais linda que eu ja vi passar 

ah...porque tudo e tao triste 
ah...a beleza que existe 
a beleza  que nao e so minha 
que tambem passa sozinha  
HELLO DOLLY ()
Hello Dolly, hello Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You're lookin' swell Jerry, I can tell Mary
You're still growin' you're still glowing
You're still goin' strong
I feel the room swayin'
For the band's playing
One of ol' fav'rite songs from way back when
Take a rap, fellas,
Find her an empty nap, fellas
Dolly'll never go away again
HOW HIGH THE MOON (Nancy Hamilton/Morgan Lewis)
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above and love is far away too
Till it comes true
Until you feel how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Somewhere there's heaven
How near how far
The darkest night will shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you feel how still my heart
How hogh the moon
HOW INSENSITIVE (Antonio Carlos Jobim/Vinicius de Moraes/Norman Gimbel)
How insensitive I must have seemed 
When she told me that she loved me 
How unmoved and cold 
I must have seemed 
When she told me so sincerely 

Why? She must have asked 
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence? 
What was I to say 
What can you say 
When a love affair is over 
Now she's gone away 
And I'm alone 
With a memory of her last look 
Vague and drawn and sad 
I see it still 
All her heartbreak in that last look
 
How, she must have asked 
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence 
What was I to do 
What can you do 
When a love affair is over
I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER (Ahlert/Young) 
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you

I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say: "I hope you're feeling better"
And close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit (right) down and write myself a letter
(And make believe it came, though I know it's not the same) 
And (I'll) make believe (that) it came from you

INSENSATEZ (Jobim/Vinicius de Moraes)
A insensatez que voce fez 
Coracao mais sem cuidado 
Fez chorar de dor 
O seu amor 
Um amor tao delicado 
Ah, porque voce foi fraco assim 
Assim tao desalmado 
Ah, meu coracao quem nunca amou 
Nao merece ser amado 

Vai meu coracao ouve a razao 
Usa so sinceridade 
Quem semeia vento, diz a razao 
Colhe sempre tempestade 
Vai, meu coracao pede perdao 
Perdao apaixonado 
Vai porque quem nao 
Pede perdao 
Nao e nunca perdoado 

ah. se ela soubesse que quando ela passa 
o mundo sorrindo se enche de graca 
e fica mais lindo por causa do amor
IN THE MOOD 
Mr. What-ya-call-em what you doin tonight
Hope you're in the mood because I'm feeling just right
How's about a corner with a table for two
Where the music's mellow in some gay rendezvous
There's no chance romancin' with a blue attitude
You got to do some dancin' to get in the mood

Sister What-ya-call-em that's a kindly idea
Something swing-a-dilla would be good to my ear
Ev'rybody must agree the dancin' has charm
When you have the certain one you love in your arms
Steppin' out with you will be a sweet interlude
A builder-up with that will put me in the mood

In the mood - that's it I got it
In the mood - your ear will spot it
In the mood - oh what a hot hit
Be alive and get the jive
You've got to learn how

Hep, hep, hep - hep like a hepper
Pep, pep, pep - hot as a pepper
Step, step, step - step like a stepper
We're muggin' and huggin'
We're in the mood now

Mr. What-ya-call-em all you needed was fun
You can see the wonders that this evenin' has done
Your feet were so heavy 'til they hardly could move
Now they're light as feathers and you're right in the groove
You were only hungry for some musical food
You're positively, absolutely in the mood

Sister What-ya-call-em I'm indebted to you
It all goes to show what food and fluids can do
Never felt so happy and so fully alive
Seems that jammin' jumpin' is a powerful jive
Swingeroo is giving me a new attitude
My heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood

In the mood that's it 'cause I got it and I'm
In the mood your ear will spot it when you're
In the mood bobbity bop a diddly-bop-a-bop-a
Be alive and get the jive
You've got to learn how

Hep, hep, hep, you're hep like a hepper full of
Pep, pep, pep, you're hot as a pepper and you
Step, step, step, step step like a stepper
We're muggin' and now we're huggin'
'Cause we're in the mood
IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME
It's the wrong time, and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
It's not her face, but such a charming face
That it's all right with me

It's the wrong song, in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile, but such a lovely smile
That it's all right with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone, too?

It's the wrong game, with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips, but they're such tempting lips
That, if some night, you are free
Then it's all right, yes, it's all right with me
LOVE FOR SALE (Cole Porter)
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town
That her smile becomes a smirk
I go to work

Love for sale
Appetising young love for sale
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
Love that's only slightly soiled
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price
For a trip to paradise?
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish way
I know every type of love
Better far than they
If you want the thrill of love
I've been through the mill of love
Old love, new love
Every love but true love
Love for sale. 

Appetising young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares.
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale
LULLABY OF BIRDLAND (George Shearing)
Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I 
always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland 
could there be ways to reveal
in a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic 
music we make with our lips 
when we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow,
he really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
if you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low,
kiss me sweet and we'll go
flyin' high in Birdland,
high in the sky up above
all because we're in love
LULLABY OF BROADWAY
Come on along and listen to, the lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo, the lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of a subway train, the rattle of the taxis
The daffydils who entertain, at Angelo's and Maxi's
When a Broadway baby says good night, it's early in the morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight until the dawn:

Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day. Hey!

Come on along and listen to, the lullaby of Broadway
The hi-dee-hi and boop-a-doo, the lullaby of Broadway
The band begins to go to town, and everyone goes crazy
You rock-a-bye your baby round, 'til everything gets hazy
Hush-a-bye I'll buy you this and that, you hear a daddy saying
And baby goes home to her flat, to sleep all day:

Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight,
Let's call it a day - - -
Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway
MACK THE KNIFE (K.Weill)
Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack-knife has macheath, dear
And he keeps them outta sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears macheath, dear
So there's not a trace of red
On the sidewalk Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneakin' round the corner
Is the someone Mack the Knife
From a tug-boat by the river
A cement bag's dropping down
The cement just for the weight, dear
Bet your Mackies back in town
Louie Miller disappeared clear
After drawing out his cash
And Mack spends li'a sailor
Did one boy do something rash
Sukey Taway, Jenny Diver
Polly Beachum, Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, dear
Now the Mackies back in town
MAMBO ITALIANO (1955) 
(A boy went back to Napoli because he missed the scenery)
(The native dances and the charming songs)
(But wait a minute something's wrong)
('cause now it's)
Hey mambo, mambo Italiano hey hey mambo mambo Italiano
Go go go you mixed up Siciliano
All you Calabrese do the mambo like-a crazy with the
Hey mabo don't wanna tarantella
Hey mambo no more mozzarella
Hey mambo mambo Italiano try an enchilada with a fish baccala
Hey goomba I love how you dance the rumba
But take some advice paisano learn-a how to mambo
If you're gonna be a square you ain't-a gonna go anywhere
Hey mambo mambo Italiano hey hey mambo mambo Italiano
Go go Joe shake like a tiavanna
E lo che se dice you get happy in the pizza when you
Mambo Italiano

Hey chadrool you don't-a have to go to school
Just make it with a big bambino
It's like vino
Kid you good-a looking but you don't-a know what's cooking 'til you
Hey mambo mambo Italiano
Hey hey mambo mambo Italiano
Ho ho ho you mixed up Siciliano
E lo che se dice you get happy in the pizza when you
Mambo Italiano
THE MAN I LOVE (Gershwin)
Verse
Joan:
When the mellow moon begins to beam
Ev'ry night I dream a little dream
And of course Prince Charming is the theme
The he
For me
Although I realise as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true
To me it's clear
That he'll appear

Refrain:
Some day he'll come along
The man I love
And h'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way,
I'll do my best to make him stay

He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday
Will be my good news day 

He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would? Would you?
And so, all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
MISTY (Garner/Burke)
Look at me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty just holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment I'm near
You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you know how helplessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love
MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME (Gus Kahn, Walter Donaldson)
My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me

Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
My baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me
MY FUNNY VALENTINE
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Start spreadin' the news
I'm leaving today
I wanna be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And step around the heart of it
New York, New York
I wanna wake up in the city
That doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
My little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
New York, New York
I wanna wake up in the city
That doesn't sleep
To find I'm king of the hill
Head of the list
Cream of the crop
At the top of the heap
My little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'd make it anywere
Come on come through
New York, New York
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET (Jimmy McHugh/Dorothy Fields)
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 and 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 those blues on parade 
But I'm not afraid 'cause this rover, crossed over 

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

With those blues on parade 
Because this rover, it crossed over 

If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockfeller 
With that gold dust 'round my feet 
On the sunny side of the street 
On the side, at that side of the street that is sunny
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag, I got my reservation,
Spent each dime I could afford.
Like a child in wild anticipation,
Long to hear that "All Aboard"
Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track that takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam?
Gonna take a sentimental journey,
Sentimental journey home
THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE
The shadow of your smile
When you have gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn

Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things, you are, to me

Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so, so did I

Now when I remember spring
And every little lovely thing
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Your lovely smile
SMOOTH OPERATOR (Sade)
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.
Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.
A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Smooth operator
ST JAMES INFIRMARY (J. Primrose)
I went down to the St James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
Stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so fair

Let her go let her go God bless her
Wherever she may be
She could search this wide world over
Never find a sweet man like me

When I die want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
Boxback coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know that I died standing flat
ST. LOUIS BLUES (W.C. Handy) 
I hate to see that evening sun go down 
I hate to see that evening sun go down 
'Cause, my baby, he's gone left this town 
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today 
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today 
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way 
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring 
Pulls that man around by her 
If it wasn't for her and her 
That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere 
I got the St. Louis Blues 
Blues as I can be 
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea 
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me 

I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie 
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint'n rye 
I love my man till the day I die
STORMY WEATHER
Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky stormy weather
since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
My life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere, stormy weather
I just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time, so weary all the time
Since he went away the blues walked in & bit me
If he stays away 
Oh a rockin' chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray the lord above's gona let me
Walk in the sun, once more,
I can't go one everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I aint' together
It's rainin' all the time
Keeps rainin' all the time
Since he went away 
The blues walked in and bit me
If he stays away, oh a rockin chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray the lord above's gona let me
Walk in the sun, once more,
I can't go one everything I had is gone
Stormy weather. Since my man and I aint' together
It's rainin' all the time. Keeps rainin' all the time

SUMMERTIME (George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin)
Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your ma is good looking
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up
Then you'll spread your wings and take to the sky
But till that morning nothig can harm you
With daddy and mommy standing by
TAKE THE "A" TRAIN (Billy Strayhorn)
You must take the "A" train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the "A" train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry, get on, now it's coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming
All aboard, get on the "A" train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
TILL THERE WAS YOU (Wilson)
There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringin'
No I never never heard them at all
Till there was you
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them singing
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Tuxedo Junction (Buddy Feyne/William Johnson/Julian Dash/Erskine Hawkins) 
Way down South, in Birmingham 
I mean South, in Alabam' 
There's a place 
Where people go to dance the night away 

It's a junction 
Where the town folk meet 
At each function in their best they'll greet you 

Way down South, in Birmingham 
I mean South, in Alabam' 
That old place 

Way down South, in Birmingham 
I mean South, in Alabam' 
'Ans old place 
Where people go to dance the night away 
They all drive or walk for miles 
To get blues - that southern style, 
So blue - it'll make you want to dance the night away 
Tuxedo Junction - where I want to be 
UNFORGETTABLE
Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable, tho' near of far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable In ev'ry way
And for ever more That's how you'll stay
That's why darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
No never before
Has someone been more
Unforgettable In ev'ry way
And for ever more That's how you'll stay
That's why darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
YES SIR THAT'S MY BABY
Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now

Yes, ma'm, we've decided
No ma'm, we ain't gonna hide it
Yes, ma'm, you're invited now

By the way, by the way
When we walk up to the preacher I'll say

Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now

By the way, by the way
When we run into the preacher I'll say

I'll say yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now

YESTERDAYS
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine
And truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Of yesterdays
Then gay youth was mine
The truth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Of yesterdays
