Singin' In The Rain

Arthur Freed - Nacio Brown

© Robbins Music, ASCAP

Why am I smilin' and why do I sing
Why does December seem sunny as Spring
Why do I get up each morning to start
Happy and get up with joy in my heart
Why is each new task a trifle to do
Because I am living a life full of you

I'm singin' in the rain just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase everybody from the place
Come on little raindrops I've got a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And Ill be singin' just singin' in the rain

Yeah there's the stormy clouds chase everybody from the place
Come on little raindrop I've got a smile on my face
I'll walk walk down the lane with a happy happy refrain
And I'll be singin' I'll be singin' in the rain
Singin' in the rain

There's the stormy clouds chase get up get up everybody from the place...

In Love In Vain

Leo Robin - Jerome Kern

© Harms Music, ASCAP

It's only human for anyone who wanna be in love
But who wants to be in love in vain
At night you hang around my house and eat your heart out
And you cry eyes out and rack your brains

You sit and wonder why anyone as wonderful as he
Should cause you such misery and pain
I thought that I would be in heaven
But I'm only I'm only up a tree
Cause it's just my luck to be in love in vain
Cause it's just my luck to be in love in vain

Never On Sunday

Billy Towne - Manos Hadjidakis

© Skidmore Music, ASCAP

Oh you can kiss me on a Monday
A Monday a Monday is very very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday a Tuesday in fact I wish you would

Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
A Thursday a Friday and Saturday is best
But never never on a Sunday
A Sunday a Sunday cause that's my day of rest

Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest

Oh you can kiss me on a cool day a hot day
A wet day which everyone you choose
Or try to kiss me on a gray day a May day
A pay day and see if I refuse

And if you make it on a bleak day
A freak day a week day why you can be my guest
But never never on a Sunday

Somewhere (There's A Place For Us)

Stephen Sondheim - Leonard Bernstein

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere

There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn time to care

Someday somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving somewhere

There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow someday somewhere

Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow someday somewhere

All The Way

Sammy Cahn - James VanHeusen

© Maraville Music, ASCAP

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes if it's real

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years come what may

Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way

Just let me let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way
All the way

Wives And Lovers

Hal David - Burt Bacharach

© Famous Music, ASCAP

Hey little girl
Comb your hair fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because
There's a ring on your finger
You needn't try any more

For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you

Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off
With your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again

For wives should always be lovers, too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here

Hey little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city
And dim all the lights
Pour the wine start the music
Time to get ready for love

Oh, time to get ready time to get ready
Time to get ready for love

It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera)

Johnny Mercer - Henry Mancini - Franco Migliacci

© Northridge Music, ASCAP

Meglio stasera baby go go go
Or as we natives say Fa subito

If you're ever gonna kiss me
It had better be tonight
While the mandolins are playing
And stars are bright

If you've anything to tell me
It had better be tonight
Or somebody else may tell me
And whisper the words just right

Meglio stasera baby go go go
Or as we natives say Fa subito

For this poor Americano
Who knows little of your speech
Be a nice Italiano
And start to teach

Go ahead show me how in old Milano
Lovers hold each other tight
But I warn you sweet paisano
It had better be tonight

Meglio stasera baby go go go
Or as we natives say Fa subito

Moon River

Johnny Mercer - Henry Mancini

© Famous Music, ASCAP

Moon River wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style someday
Old dream maker you heartbreaker
Wherever you're goin' I'm goin' your way

Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend my huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

A Fine Romance

Dorothy Fields - Jerome Kern

© Harms Music, ASCAP

A fine romance with no kisses
A fine romance my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes

A fine romance you won't nestle
A fine romance you won't even wrestle
You've never mussed the crease in my blue serge pants
You never take a chance this is a fine romance

A fine romance my good fellow
You take romance I'll take Jello
You're calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins to express emotion

A fine romance my dear Duchess
Two old fogies we really need crutches
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France
I haven't got a chance this is a fine romance

A fine romance my good woman
My strong aged in the wood woman
You never give those orchids I send a glance
They're just like cactus plants this is a fine romance

I Love Paris

Cole Porter

© Buxton Hill Music, ASCAP

Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies
Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears
More and more do I realize

I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris why oh why do I love Paris
Because my love is near

I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris why oh why do I love Paris
Because my love because my love is near
