Tomorrow Mountain

John Latouche - Duke Ellington

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There's a happy city they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it's Christmas everyday

Neath the scotch and soda fountain
There's a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees we'll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies

There you will be a lucky sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide

Far across Tomorrow Mountain
There's a life that's fancy and free
On a platinum street we'll plant our feet
It's the land that's fair to see
Won't you hurry there with me

Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is Queen of the May
And the kitchens I'm told are lined with gold
And there ain't no bills to pay

Can't you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel No 5
And the gutters I think are painted with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive

Pigs trot around already roasted
Won't you have a slice of ham
Marshmallows bloom already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam

Can't you see Tomorrow Mountain
Can't you watch it glimmer and glow
It's a wonderful town that's upside down
And it's full of easy dough
Won't you pack your bag and go

Out Of This World

Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen

© E.H. Morris Co, ASCAP

You're clear out of this world
When I'm looking at you
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew

You're right out of a book
The fairy tale I read when I was so high
No armored knight out of a book
Was more enchanted by a Loralei than I

After waiting so long for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
All at once from the long and lonely night time
And despite time here you are

I'd cry out of this world
If you said we were through
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you

I'd cry out of this world...

With you with you
Out of this world out of this world

Summertime

Dubose Heyward - Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin

© Gershwin Pub, ASCAP

Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich and your ma is good looking
So hush little baby don't you cry

One of those mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But till that morning there ain't nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy standing by

One of those mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But till that morning there ain't nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy standing standing by

Mad About The Boy

Noel Coward

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Mad about the boy it's pretty funny
But I'm mad about the boy
He has a gay appeal that makes me feel
There's maybe something sad about the boy

Walking down the street his eyes look out at me
From people that I meet I can't believe it's true
But when I'm blue in some strange way
I'm glad about the boy

I'm hardly sentimental life isn't so sublime
I have to pay my rental and I can't afford to waste much time

If I could employ a little magic
That would finally destroy this dream than pains me
And enchains me but I can't
Cause I'm mad about the boy

Lord knows I'm not a school girl
I really shouldn't care
Lord knows I'm not a school girl
In the fury of her first affair

Will it ever cloy
This odd diversity of misery and joy
This dream that pains me and enchains me but I can't
Because I'm mad about the boy

Mad about the boy
Mad about the boy

Ridin' On The Moon

Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

I walk under ladders
Number thirteen doesn't scare me
And I'm wrapped up in a rainbow
And I'm ridin' on the moon

Old jinx had me cornered
But I found out how to shake it
And my baby helped me break it
And I'm riding on the moon

Ah yes you can preach it sister while I shout for joy
Ah yes say hello to lady love's baby boy

You're my ring of roses
How can I be heavy hearted
Cause I'm right back where I started
And I'm ridin' on the moon

Ah yes you can preach it sister while I shout for joy
Ah yes say hello to lady love's baby boy

You're my ring of roses...

Stormy Weather

Ted Koehler - Harold Arlen

© Mills Music, ASCAP

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time

Life is bare gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time the time
So weary all the time

Since he went away the blues walked in and met me
If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time
Keeps raining all the time

I walk around heavy hearted and sad
Night comes around and I'm still feelin' bad
Rain's pourin' down blindin' every hope I had
This pitter and patter and beatin' and spatterin' drivs me mad

Love love love love
This misery is just too much for me

Can't go on everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time
Keeps rainin' all the time

Baby Won't You Please Come Home

Charles Warfield - Clarence Williams

© Pickwick Music, ASCAP

Baby won't you please come home
Cause your baby's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name

When you left you broke my heart
But that should never keep us apart
Cause every hour in the day you can hear me say
Baby won't you please come home
I need you come on home

Oh baby won't you please come home...

When you left you broke my heart
But that should never keep us apart
Cause every hour in the day you can hear your baby say
Oh baby won't you please come home
Baby needs lovin'
Oh baby won't you please come home

Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home

Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Free and easy that's my style
Howdy do me watch me smile
Fare thee well me after awhile cause I gotta roam
And any place I hang my hat is home

Sweetenin' water cherry wine
Thank you kindly suits me fine
Kansas City Caroline that's my honeycomb
Cause any place I hang my hat is home

Birds roostin' in the trees
Pick up and go and they going prov
That's how it oughta be
I pick up too when the spirit moves me

Cross the river round the bend
Howdy stranger so long friend
There's a voice in the lonesome wind that keeps whispering roam
I'm going where a welcome mat is no matter where that is
Cause any place I hang my hat is home

Birds roostin' in the trees...
Cross the river round the bend...

I'll Be Around

Alec Wilder

© Regent Music, BMI

I'll be around no matter how you treat me now
I'll be around from now on

Your latest love may never last and when it's past
I'll be around when she's gone

Goodbye again and if you find a love like mine
Just now and then dear drop a line to say you're feeling fine

And when things go wrong perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
I'll be around from now on

Goodbye again and if you find a love like mine
Just now and then dear drop a line to say you're feeling fine

And when things go wrong perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
I'll be around from now on

I Wonder What Became Of Me

Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Lights are bright pianos makin' music all the night
And they pour champagne just like it was rain
It's a sight to see but I wonder what became of me

Crowds pass by that merry making laughter in their eyes
And the laughter's fine but I wonder what became of mine

Life's sweet as honey and yet it's funny
I get a feeling that I can't analyze
It's like well maybe like when a baby
Sees a bubble burst before his eyes

Oh I've had my fling I've been around and seen most everything
Yet I can't be gay for along the way
Something went astray

And I can't explain it's the same champagne
It's a sad to see but I wonder what became of me

Just One Of Those Things

Cole Porter

© Harms Music, ASCAP

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit of the end of it
Oh when we started painting this town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So goodbye dear and amen
Here's hoping we'll meet now and then
It was great fun but it was just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit of the end of it...

So goodbye dear and amen
Here's hoping we'll meet now and then
It was great fun but it was just one of those
Just one of those
Just one of those things
