"Love Is Here To Stay"

   
(G. Gershwin/I. Gershwin)

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day

The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go

But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way

In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to stay

The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go

But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way

In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to
Our love is here to
Our love is here to stay

"Fine And Mellow"

   
(B. Holiday)

My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man, he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen

He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things that you know is wrong

But if you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
If you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away

Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on

Some times when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

"Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be)"

   
(J. Davis/J. Sherman/R. Ramirez)

I don't know why
But I'm feeling so sad
I long to try
Something I never had

Never had no kissing
Ooh, what I've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be

The night is cold
And I'm so all alone
I'll give my soul
Just to call you my own

Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be

I've heard it say
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream

I go to bed
With the prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears

Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be

I've heard it say
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream

I go to bed
With the prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears

Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be

"Gimme A Pigfoot And A Bottle Of Beer"

   
(W. Wilson)

Up in Harlem every saturday night
Were the highbrows get together, just to write
They all congregate at an allnite hack
What they do is ooh papa dah

Ol' Hannah Brown, way cross town
Gets full of corn and starts brining 'em down
And at the break of day
You can hear ol' Hannah say

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me daddy, move right down
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down

He's got rhythm, when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care

I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy, move right in
Feel just like I wanna shop
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out

He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna do the huckabuck until the rising sun

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me 'cause I don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of beer

"Don't Explain"

   
(B. Holiday/A. Herzog, Jr.)

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain

Quiet don't explain
What is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
For I'm so completely yours

Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong don't matter
When you're with me, sweet

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain

"You've Changed"

   
(B. Carey/C. Fisher)

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed

You've changed
Your kiss is now so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed

You've forgotten the words
I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise you ever cared

You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now. You've changed

"All Of Me"

   
(G. Simons/G. Marks)

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 loose 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

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

"My Man"

   
(M. Yvain/A. Willemetz/J. Charles)

It's caused me a lot
But there's one thing that I got
It's my man

Cold and wet
Tied you bet
All of that I'll soon forget
With my man

He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But I love him

Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him

I don't no why I should
He isn't true
He beats me to
What can I do?

Oh my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right

What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more

What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more

"Good Morning Heartache"

   
(I. Higgenbotham/E. Drake/D. Fisher)

Goodmorning heartache
You all gloomy sight
Goodmorning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I tossed and turned
Until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn

Wish I'd forget you
But you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now every day I start by
Saying to you
Goodmorning heartache, what's new?

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those monday blues
Straight through sunday blues

Goodmorning heartache
Here we go again
Goodmorning heartache
You're the one who knew me well
Might as well get used to you
Hangin' around
Goodmorning heartache
Sit down

"I Cried For You"

   
(A. Lyman/G. Arnheim/A. Freed)

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing I'm learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes
A little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing I'm learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes
Just a little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer

That I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
