People Will Say We're In Love

Oscar Hammerstein - Richard Rodgers

© Williamson Music, ASCAP

Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we're in love

Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
And your eyes mustn't glow like mine
People will say we're in love

Don't start collecting things
Give me my rose and my glove
Well sweetheart they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love

Just In Time

Adolph Green - Betty Comden - Jule Styne

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

I was resting comfortably face down in the gutter
Life was serene I knew where I was at
There's no hope for him my dearest friends would mutter
I was something dragged in by the cat. Then

Then just in time I found you just in time
Before you came my time was running low
I was lost the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed nowhere to go

Now you're here and now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fear I found my way
For love came just in time you found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely day

Now you're here and now I know just where I'm going...

You'd Better Know It

Duke Ellington

© American Academy Of Music, ASCAP

We're in love it appears
And I surely want to thank you
But if you get ideas
I'll surely have to spank you

I belong to you and now I know I show it
You belong to me and you'd better know it

Give me all your love
Sweet sugar spice and honey
But don't ever quit
Not for love nor money

I'd do most anything just to amuse you
But there's nothin' that I wouldn't do
Rather than lose you

When I play the game
I can't afford to throw it
Cause I play for keeps
And you'd better know it
[ instrumental ]
You belong to me you fool
Huh you'd better know it
[ instrumental ]
I belong to you
I know you know it

I'd do most anything just to amuse you
But there's nothin' that I wouldn't do
Rathеr than lose you

When I play the game of love
I can't afford to throw it
Cause you're the one who weep you will
If you don't treat me sweet
You belong to me you'd better know it

Baubles Bangles And Beads

George Forrest - Robert Wright

© Frank Music, ASCAP

Baubles bangles hear how they jing jing a linga
Baubles bangles bright shiny beads
Sparkles spangles your heart will sing sing a linga
Wearing baubles bangles and beads

I'll glitter and gleam so make somebody dream so
That some day I may buy you a ring ring a linga
I've heard that's where it leads
Wearing baubles bangles and beads
[ instrumental ]
I'll glitter and gleam so make somebody dream so
That some day he may buy me a ring ring a linga
I've heard that's where it leads
Wearin' baubles bangles and beads

At Long Last Love

Cole Porter

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

I'm so in love and though it gives me joy intense
I can't decipher if I'm a lifer or if it's just a first offense
I'm so in love I've no sense of values left at all
Is this a playtime affair of May time or is it a windfall

Is it an earthquake or simply a shock
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock
Is it a cocktail this feeling of joy
Or is what I feel the real McCoy

Is it for all time or simply a lark
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park
Is it a fancy not worth thinkin' of
Or is it at long last love

Is it an earthquake or simply a shock...
Is it for all time or simply a lark...

Speak Low

Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Speak low, when you speak love
Our summer day withers away
Too soon too soon

Speak low when you speak love
Our moment is swift like ships adrift
We're swept apart too soon

Speak low darling speak low
Love is a spark lost in the dark
Too soon too soon

I feel wherever I go
That tomorrow is near tomorrow is here
And always too soon

Time is so old and love, so brief
Love is pure gold and time, a thief

We're late darling we're late
The curtain descends everything ends
Too soon too soon

I wait darling I wait
Will you speak low to me speak love to me
And soon

Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief

We're late darling we're late
The curtain descends everything ends
Too soon too soon

I wait darling I wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me
And soon

Speak low to me love to me

Let's Put Out The Lights (And Go To Sleep)

Herman Hupfeld

© Harms Music, ASCAP

No more company to feed
No more papers left to read
What's to do about it
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep

No more anything to drink
Leave those dishes in the sink
What's to do about it
Simply nighty night and so to sleep

You're waiting now for me to say
I love you more and more and more dear
You're looking younger every day
You never were so sweet before dear

No more money in the bank
No cute baby we can spank
What's to do about it
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep
