I will talk, Hollywood will listen
I wouldn't be so alone
The they knew my name in every home
Kevin Spacey would call on the phone
But I'd be too busy
Come back to the old ville and dine
Cameron Diaz give me a sign
I'd make you smile all the time
Your conversation would compliment mine
I will talk and Hollywood will listen
See them bow and my every word
Mr Spielberg look just what you're missing
Doesn't that seem a little obsurd
Bow at my every word
Buy up the rights to my book
Live on a ranch from what the box office took
I'll go and visit the set
They'll call me their saviour
All the peoples will scorn celebrity
Lives on the moon
But, I'll be back home in June
To promote the sequel
I will talk and Hollywood will listen
See them bow and my every word
Mr. Spielberg look just what you're missing
Doesn't that seem a little obsurd
Bow at my every word
Mack the knife
Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear
So there's not a trace of red
On the sidewalk, Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking round the corner
Is the someone Mack the knife?
From a tug boat by the river
A cement bag's dropping down
The cement's just for the weight, dear
Bet you Mack is back in town
Louie Miller disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?
Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Mack is back in town
Something Stupid
I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop
into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lines
You heard the night before
And though it's just a
line to you For me it's true
And never seemed so right before
I practice every day to
find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait
until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I love you...
Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me
Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why one should tear the seam of
anyone's dream Is over my head
Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of
others you've heard I haven't a chance
True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
While we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you
hear it from me And you never will!
It Was A Very Good Year
When I was seventeen,
it was a very good year.
It was a very good year for small
town girls and soft summer nights.
We'd hide from the light on the village green
when I was seventeen.
When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year.
It was a very good year for city
girls who lived up the stairs
With perfume hair that came undone
when I was twenty-one.
When I was thirty-five, it was a very good year.
It was a very good year for blue-blooded
girls of independent means.
We'd ride in limousines. Their chauffeurs
would drive when I was thirty-five.
But now the days are short, I'm in the
autumn of the year
and now I think of my life as vintage
wine from fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs. It poured
sweet and clear. It was a very good year
Straighten Up And Fly Right
A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the
air,
The monkey thought that everything
was on the square.
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey
off his back,
The monkey grabbed his neck and said,
"Now listen, Jack..."
Straighten up and fly right,
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
Ain't no use in divin',
What's the use in jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
The buzzard told the monkey,
You're chokin' me.
Release your hold and I'll set you free.
The monkey looked the buzzard right
dead in the eye and said,
Your story's so touching, but it sounds
jes' like a lie.
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow - your - top.
Fly right!

Mr. Bojangles
I knew a man Bojangles
And he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair a ragged shirt
And baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe
He would jump so high
Jump so high
Then he lightly touch down
He told me of the time he worked with
Minstrel shows travelling
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years
How his dog and he
They would travel about.
But his dog up and died
He up and died
And after twenty years he still grieved
He said "I dance now
At every chance in the Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips
But most the time I spend
Behind these country bars
You see on I drinks a bit"
Then he shook his head
Oh lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard someone say please
Mister Bojangles
Call him Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance please
Come back and dance again Mr Bojangles
One For My Baby
It's quarter to three,
there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad,
can't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it,
but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things
I'd like to say
And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away
Well that's how it goes,
and Joe I know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that I found,
It's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Things
Ev'ry night I sit here
by my window (window)
Starin' at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Watching lovers holdin'
hand 'n' laughin' (laughin')
And thinkin' 'bout the
things we used to do
[CHORUS]
(Thinkin' of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
(Things) Like a sailboat ride
(Yeah-yeah)
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have
to cling to (cling to)
And heartaches are the friends
I'm talkin' to (talkin' to)
When I'm not thinkin' of-a just
how much I love you (love you)
Well, I'm-a thinkin' 'bout the
things we used to do
[CHORUS]
I still can hear the jukebox
softly playin' (playin')
And the face I see
each day belongs to you
(belongs to you)
Though there's not a single
sound and there's nobody else around
Well, it's-a just me thinkin'
of the things we used to do
[CHORUS]
And the heartaches are
the friends I'm talkin' to
Ya got me thinkin' 'bout the
things we used to do
[FADE]
Starin' at the lonely avenue
Ain't That A Kick In The Head
How lucky can one guy be?
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said,
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"
The room was completely black,
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said, quote,
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"
My head keeps spinnin',
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin',
my life is gonna be bee-yoo-tee-ful
I've sunshine enough to spread,
it's just like the fella said
Tell me quick, ain't love a kick in the head?
Like the fella once said,
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"
Like the sailor said, quote,
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"
My head keeps spinnin',
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin',
my life is gonna be bee-yoo-tee-ful
She's tellin' me we'll be wed,
she's picked out a king-size bed
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick
Tell me quick oh, ain't love a kick?
Tell me quick ain't love a kick in the head?
They Can't Take That Away From Me
There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again,
on that bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No they can't take that away from me
Have You Met Miss Jones
Have you met Miss Jones
Someone said as we shook hands
She was just Miss Jones to me
Then I said Miss Jones
You're a girl who understands
I'm a man who must be free.
And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I own the earth and sky
Now I met Miss Jones
And well keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I
And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I own the earth and sky
Now I met Miss Jones
And well keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I
Miss Jones and I
Miss Jones and I
Me And My Shadow
[Spoken]
Robbie: (American accent) Johnny and Robbie
Jonathan: What you talking like that for, you're from Stoke!
Robbie: I dunno but I can't stop here pally
Jonathan: Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Robbie: Like the seashore clings to the sea
Jonathan: Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Robbie: You'll never get rid of me
BOTH
Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us
Robbie: [Me and my shadow]
Jonathan: We're closer than pages that stick in a book
Jonathan: We're closer than ripples that flow in a brook
Robbie: [Strolling down the avenue]
Jonathan: Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Jonathan: Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza
Jonathan: [Me and my shadow]
Robbie: Closer than smog is to all of L.A.
Robbie: Closer than Ricky to confessing he's gay
BOTH
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue
Robbie: And when it's sleeping time
Jonathan: That's when we rise
Robbie: We start to swing
Robbie: Our clocks don't chime
Jonathan: What a surprise
BOTH
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!
Jonathan: [Me and my shadow]
Robbie: And now to repeat what I said at the start
Robbie: They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
Both: We're alone but far from blue
Both: Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
Jonathan: We'll hit a few late spots, and then a few more
BOTH
We'll start out at Stringy's and maybe Groucho
Life is gonna be wow-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
[Spoken]
Jonathon: Can we do that again?
Robbie: No, I'm too tired
Jonathon: Oh, please Rob
Robbie: No, I'm swung out
Jonathon: Oh come on, I'll give you some money
Robbie: I don't need money
Jonathon: What about a cup of tea?
Robbie: Not thirsty
Jonathon: I won't tell anybody you're gay
Robbie: (Laugh) fuck off!
BOTH
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll hit all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll start out at Stringy's and maybe Groucho
Life is gonna be wow-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
Beyond the sea
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
He's watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to his arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star,
it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
Some sailing
The lady is a tramp (B-Side / Mr. Bojangles)
I've wined and dined on Mulligan Stew,
and never wished for Turkey
As I hitched and hiked and grifted too,
from Maine to Albuquerque
Alas, I missed the Beaux Arts Ball,
and what is twice as sad
I was never at a party where they honoured Noel Coward
But social circles spin too fast for me
My "hobohemia" is the place to be
I get too hungry, for dinner at eight
I like the theatre, but never come late
I never bother, with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I don't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's ok
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
I go to Coney, the beach is divine
I go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine
I find a Winchell, and read every line
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like a prize fight, that isn't a fake
I love the rowing, on Central Park lake
I go to Opera and stay wide awake
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the green grass under my shoes
What can I lose, I'm flat, that's that
I'm alone when I lower my lamp
That's why the lady is a tramp |
