BASIN STREET BLUES 

Basin Street that's the street
Where the elite always meet
In New Orleans the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems or
just how much it really means

Glad to be oh yes siree
Where welcome's free are dear to me
Where I can lose
My Basin Street blues

Basin Street that's the street
Where the elite always meet
In New Orleans the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems or
just how much it really means

Glad to be oh yessiree...

Ain't you glad you came with me
Way down to the Mississippi
We took the boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river to New Orleans

BAUBLES BANGLES AND BEADS 

Baubles, bangles,
Hear how they jing , jing-a-ling-a,
Baubles, bangles,
Bright, shiny beads.
Sparkles, spangles,
My heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a,
Wearing baubles, bangles and beads.
I`ll glitter and gleam so,
Make somebody dream so,
That someday he may buy me,
A ring, ring-aling-a,
I`ve heard that`s where it leads,
Wearing baubles and bangles and beads.

BEALE STREET 

I'd rather be here
Than any pla-ace I know
I'd rather be here
Than any place I know-ow
It's gonna take the sergeant
For to make me go

Goin' to the river
Maybe by-y and by
Goin' to the river
And there's a reason why
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry

Goin' to the river
Maybe by-y and by
Goin' to the river
And there's a rea-eason why
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's do-one go-one dry...

BEWITCHED 

Bewitched, Bewitched,
 You've got me in your spell
 Bewitched, bewitched,
 You know your craft so well
 Before I knew what you were doing
 I looked in your eyes
 That brand of woo you've been brewin'
 Took me by surprise
 
Bewitched, Bewitched
 One thing is for sure
 That stuff you pitch
 Just hasn't got a cure
 My heart is under lock and key
 Somehow you got unhitched
 I never thought my heart could be had
 But now I'm caught and I'm kinda glad
 To be bewitched, bewitched
 
[Instrumental]
 
My heart was under lock and key
 Somehow it got unhitched
 I never thought my heart could be had
 But now I'm caught and I'm kinda glad
 To be bewitched, bewitched
 Bewitched, bewitched, bewitched, [Fade]

BIG BAD BILL (IS SWEET WILLIAM NOW) 

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Married life done changed him some how
He's the man the town used to fear
Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear
Stronger than Samson I declare
'Til the brown skinned woman
Bobbed his hair

Big Bad Bill dont fight any more (No, he don't)
Doing the dishes/Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)
Well he used to go out drinking/Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman/Everynight
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now

Ah/Play it boys/I likes that jazz

Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't)
Doing the dishes/Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)
Well he used to go out drinking/Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman/Everynight
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Doing the dishes)
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Mop up the floor)
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now

BIRTH OF THE BLUES 

They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start of the blues

And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail
And they played that as part of the blues

From a whippoorwill out on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn till it was worn into a blue note

And then they nursed it, rehearsed it
and gave out the news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues

BLACK COFFEE 

I'm feeln' mighty lonesome, haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
And in between I drink black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down broom
I'll never know a Sunday, in this weekday room

I'm talkin' to the shadows, One o'clock to four
And lord, how slow the moments go
When all I do is pour black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry

Now a man is born to go a lovin'
A woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes

I'm moonin' all the mornin' and mournin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy, this waitin' for my baby
To maybe come a round

BLUE MOON 

Blue moon, you saw me standin' alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me sayin' a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

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

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, the moon had turned to gold

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

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

BLUE SKIES 

Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see

Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When youre in love, my how they fly

Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on
