My Funny Valentine
|
|
My funny Valentine Sweet comic Valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable Unphotographable Yet you're my favourite work of art Is your figure less than Greek Is your mouth a little weak When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little Valentine stay Each day is Valentine's day Is your figure less than Greek Is your mouth a little weak When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't you change one hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little Valentine stay Each day is Valentine's day |

The Girl Next Door
|
|
The moment I saw her face, I knew she was just my style. My only regret is we've never met for I dream of her all the while, But she doesn't know I exist, no matter how I persist. So it's clear to see there's no hope for me, Though I live at fifty-one thirty-five Kensngton Avenue, And she lives at fifty-one thirty three. How can I ignore the girl next door, I love her more than I can say. Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me, And she never sees me glance her way. And I thought I'm heartsore, the girl next door Affection for me won't display. I just adore her so I can't ignore her, the girl next door. |

A Foggy Day
|
|
A foggy day, in London town, it had me low, and it had me down I viewed the morning, with much alarm, the British Museum, had lost its charm How long I wondered, could this thing last, but the age of miracles, it hadn't past And suddenly, I saw you standing right there And in foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere |

Like Someone in Love
|
|
Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars, hearing guitars like someone in love. Sometimes the things I do astound me, mostly whenever you're around me. Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings, bump into things like someone in love. Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove, and feeling like someone in love. |

I Get a Kick Out of You
|
|
(My story is much too sad to be told, But practically everything leaves me totally cold. The exception I know is the case When I'm out on a quiet spree, Fighting vainly the old ennui, And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.) I get no kick from champagne. Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all. So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you? Some, they may go for cocaine. I'm sure that if I took even one sniff It would bore me terrifically, too. Yet I get a kick out of you. I get a kick every time I see You standing there before me. I get a kick though it's clear to see You obviously do not adore me. I get no kick in a plane. Flying too high with some gal in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do. Yet I get a kick - um you give me a boot - I get a kick out of you. |

Little Girl Blue
|
|
When you were very young, the world was younger than you, As merry as a carousel, The circus tent was strung with every star in the sky, Above the ring you loved so well. Now the young world has grown old, gone are the silver and gold, Sit there and count your fingers, what can you do, Old girl, you're through. Just sit there and count your little fingers, unhappy little girl blue. Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you, It's time you knew, All you can count on are the raindrops that fall on little girl blue. No use, old girl, you might as well surrender, Your hopes are getting slender, why won't somebody send a tender Blue boy to cheer up little girl blue. |

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 |

Violets for Your Furs
|
|
It was winter in Manhattan, falling snow flakes filled the air, The streets were covered with a film of ice, But a little simple magic that I learned about somewhere, Changed the weather all around, just within a thrice. I bought you violets for your furs and it was spring for a while, remember? I bought you violets for your furs and there was April in that December. The snow drifted down and the flowers, and that is where it lay. The snow looked like dew and the blossoms as on a summer day. I bought you violets for your furs and there was blue in the wintry sky, You pinned my violets to your furs and gave a lift to the crowds passing by, You smiled at me so sweetly, since then one thought occurs, That we fell in love completely, the day I bought you violets for your furs. |
