All Or Nothing At All

All or nothing at all
Half a love, never appealed to me
If your heart, never could yield to me
Then Id rather (rather) have nothing at all

All or nothing at all
If its love, there is no in between
Why begin then cry, for something that might have been
No Id rather (rather) have nothing at all

But please dont bring your lips so close to my cheek
Dont smile or Ill be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall

And if I fell (I fell) under the spell of your call
I would be, caught in the undertow
So you see, Ive got to say no, no
All or nothing at all

Bitrh Of The Blues

Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diffrent tune
One that they could croon
As only they can
They only had the rhythm
So they started swaying to and fro
They didnt know just what to use
That is how the blues really began
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
til 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!

Coffee Song

Way down among brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So theyve got to find those extra cups to fill
Theyve got an awful lot of coffee in brazil

You cant get cherry soda
cause theyve got to fill that quota
And the way things are Ill bet they never will
Theyve got a zillion tons of coffee in brazil

No tea or tomato juice
Youll see no potato juice
The planters down in santos all say no no no

The politicians daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
Theyve got an awful lot of coffee in brazil

You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in brazil

And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in brazil

So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesnt take a lot of skill
Theyve got an awful lot of coffee in brazil

Day By Day

Day by day Im falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isnt any end to my devotion
Its deeper dear by far than any ocean

I find that day by day youre making all my dreams come true
And (so) come what may I want you to know
Im (that I am) yours alone, and Im in love (in love) to stay
As we go through the years day by day

(I said, day by day)
(as we go through the years day by day)

Dream

Get in touch with that sundown fellow
As he tiptoes across the sand
Hes got a million kinds of stardust
Pick you favrite brand, and

Dream, when youre feeling blue
Dream, thats the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
Youll find your share of memories there

So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream

Five Minutes More

Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more
Let me stay, let me stay in your arms

Here am i, begging for only five minutes more
Only five minutes more of your charms

All week long I dreamed about our saturday date
Dont you know that sunday morning you can sleep late

Give me five minutes more (here am I begging for), only five minutes more
(let me stay, let me stay)
Let me stay, let me stay (stay) in your arms

Fools Rush In

Fools rush in
Where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you my love
My heart above my head

Though I see
The danger there
If theres a chance for me
Then I dont care

Fools rush in
Where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know

When we met
I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let
This fool rush in

Mamselle

A small caf? mamselle, our rendezvous, mamselle.
The violins were warm and sweet, and so were you mamselle.
And as the night danced by, a kiss became a sigh,
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way that mine does for you.
And yet I know too well someday youll say goodbye,
Then violins will cry, and so will I mamselle.

Nancy

If I dont see her each day, I miss her
Gee what a thrill, each time I kiss her
Believe me, Ive got a case
On nancy, with the laughing face

She takes the winter and makes it summer
And summer could take some lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
Thats nancy with the laughing face

Have you ever heard mission bells ringing
Well shell give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just hear her say hello

I swear to goodness, you cant resist her
Shes mighty sweet, and wait till you see her sister
No angel could replace
Nancy, with the laughing face

Oh! What It Seemed To Be

It was just a neighborhood dance
Thats all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a masquerade ball
With costumes and all
cause you were at the dance with me
It was just a ride on a train
Thats all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a trip to the stars
To venus and mars
cause you were on the train with me
And when I kissed you, darling
It was more than just a thrill for me
It was the promise, darling
Of the things that fate had willed for me
It was just a wedding in june
Thats all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a royal affair
With everyone there
cause you said yes, I do to me

Put Your Dreams Away

Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so its time to make a new start

When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then Ill have the right
To adore you

Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away

Soliloquy

I wonder what hell think of me
I guess hell call me the old man
I guess hell think I can lick
Evry other fellers father
Well, I can!
I bet that hell turn out to be
The spittin image of his dad
But hell have more common sense
Than his puddin-headed father ever had
Ill teach him to wrassle
And dive through a wave
When we go in the mornins for our swim
His mother can teach him
The way to behave
But she wont make a sissy out o him
Not him! not my boy! not bill!
Bill. I will see that he is named after me, I will.
My boy, bill! hell be tall
And tough as a tree, will bill!
Like a tree hell grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you wont see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bullyll toss him around
I dont give a damn what he does
As long as he does what he likes!
He can sit on his tail
Or work on a rail
With a hammer, hammering spikes!
He can ferry a boat on a river
Or peddle a pack on his back
Or work up and down
The streets of a town
With a whip and a horse and a hack
He can haul a scow along a canal
Run a cow around a corral
Or maybe bark for a carousel
Of course it takes talent to do that well
He might be a champ of theheavyweights
Or a feller that sells you glue
Or president of the united states
Thatd be all right, too
His mother would like that
But he wouldnt be president unless he wanted to be
Not bill!
My boy, bill! hell be tall
And as tough as a tree, will bill
Like a tree hell grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you wont see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bastardll boss
Him around
And Ill be damned if hell marry the boss daughter
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water
Wholl give him a peck
And call it a kiss
And look in his eyes through a lorgnet
Say, why am I talkin on like this?
My kid aint even been born, yet!
I can see him when hes seventeen or so
And startin to go with a girl
I can give him lots of pointers, very sound
On the way to get round any girl
I can tell him ...
Wait a minute!
Could it be?
What the hell!
What if he is a girl?
What would I do with her?
What could I do for her?
A bum with no money!
You can have fun with a son
But you got to be a father to a girl
She mighnt be so bad at that
A kid with ribbons in her hair!
A kind o neat and petite
Little tin-type of her mother!
What a pair!
I can just hear myself bragging about her!
My little girl
Pink and white
As peaches and cream is she
My little girl
Is half again as bright
As girls are meant to be!
Dozens of boys pursue her
Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her
>from her faithful dad
She has a few
Pink and white young fellers of two and three
But my little girl
Gets hungry evry night and she come home to me!
My little girl, my little girl!
I got to get ready before she comes!
I got to make certain that she
Wont be dragged up in slums
With a lot o bums like me
Shes got to be sheltered
And be dressed in the best money can buy!
I never knew how to get money
But, Ill try, by god! Ill try!
Ill go out and make it or steal it
Or take it or die!

The Things We Did Last Summer

The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our favrite song
The things we did last summer Ill remember all winter long

The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer Ill remember all winter long

The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back

The leaves began to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer Ill remember all winter long

<brief instrumental>

Ive tried so to forget, at times I do, and yet
The memry of you lingers like our song
The things we did last summer, Ill remember all winter long

Time After Time

What good are words I say to you?
They cant convey to you whats in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things Ive left unsaid

Time after time
I tell myself that im
So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
Youve kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
Youll hear me say that im
So lucky to be loving you

You'll Never Know

Darling, Im so blue without you
I think about you the live-long day
When you ask me if Im lonely
Then I only have this to say

Youll never know just how much I miss you
Youll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldnt hide my love for you
You ought to know, for havent I told you so
A million or more times?

You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my evry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I dont know how
Youll never know if you dont know now

Youll never know just how much I miss you
Youll never know just how much I care
You said good-bye, no stars in the sky refuse to shine
Take it from me, its no fun to be alone
With moonlight and memories
