Cry me a river

Now you say you're lonely

You cried the long night through

Well, you can cry me a river

Cry me a river

I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry

For being so untrue

Well, you can cry me a river

Cry me a river

I cried a river over you

You drove me,

Nearly drove me out of my head

While you never shed a tear

Remember?

I remember all that you said

Told me love was too plebeian

Told me you were through with me

Now you say you love me

Well, just to prove you do

Cry me a river

Cry me a river

I cried over you

You drove me

Nearly drove me out of my head

While you never shed a tear

Remember?

I remember all that you said

Told me love was too plebeian

Told me you were through with me...

And now you say you love me

Well, just to prove that you do...

Come on!

Come on!

Cry me a river...

Cry me a river...

I cried a river over you

I cried a river over you...

 

Music and Lyrics by A . Hamilton

My Honey Loving Arms

I love your loving arms

They hold a world of charms

A place to nestle

When I am lonely

A cozy morris chair

What kind of chair Is a Maurice chair?

One caress, happiness,

Seems to bless my little honey

I love him more each day

When years have passed away

He'll find my love

Belongs to him only!

'Cause when the world seems wrong

He'll know that I belong

Right in my honey's loving arms

I love him more each day

When years have passed away

He'll find my love

Belongs to him only!

'Cause when the world seems wrong

He will know that I belong

Right in my honey's loving

I said my honey 's loving

I mean my honey's loving... arms

 

Music and Lyrics by H. Ruby & J. Meyer, 1963

I'll Tell The Man In The Street

I won't to tell of my love

To the red, red rose

Or the running brook

Where the sweet magnolia grows

I won't tell of my love

To every little star

On the wipperwill

On the hill above

I'll tell the man in the street

And everyone I meet

That you and I are sweethearts

I'll shout it out

From the roof

I'll give the papers proof

That we two are complete hearts

I want the world to know

I'll use the radio

And when I've said all I'll say

You may be old and gray

But you can't get away from me.

 

Music and Lyrics by L. Hart & R. Rodgers, 1963

A Taste Of Honey

Cold winds may blow oŽer the icy sea

But I'll take with me

The warmth of thee

A taste of honey,

A taste much sweeter than wine

He will return...

He will return

He'll come back

For the honey and me

I leave behind

My heart to wear

And may it eŽer remind you of

A taste of honey

A taste much sweeter than wine

He will return...

He will return...

He'll come back for the honey and me.

Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

Tra la la la la

Long ago there were three pigs

Little handsome pigs

For the big, bad the very big, very bad wolf,

They did not give three figs

Number one was very gay

And he built his house with hay

With a hey hey toot he blew on his flute

And he played around all day

Now number two was fond of jigs

And so he built his house with twigs

Hey, diddle diddle he played on his fiddle

And danced with lady pigs

Number three said: "nix on tricks,

I shall build my house with bricks!"

He had no chance to sing or dance,

'Cause work and play don't mix

Ha, ha, ha, the two little do-little pigs

Just winked and laughed Ah! Woo!

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

Tra la la la la

Came the day when fate did frown

And a wolf blew into town

With a gruff huff puff, he puffed just enough

And the hay house fell right down!

One and two were scared to death

Of the big bad wolfy's breath

By the hair of your chinny chin I'll blow you in

And the twig house answered yes

No one left but number three

To save that piglet family

So when they knocked, he fast unlocked

And said come in with me

Now they all were safe inside

But the bricks hurt wolfy's pride

So, he slid down the chimney and oh by

Jiminey In a fire he was fried

Oh oh oh, the three little free little pigs

Just winked and laughed...

Ah! Woo!

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

The big bad wolf

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf

Tra La La La La

Tra la la Tra la la

Tra la la la la la la la la la la!

Who's afraid of the big, big, big,

Bad woooooooooooooooooooolf!

 

Music and Lyrics by A.Ronell & F.Chuchil

Soon It's Gonna Rain

Hear how the wind begins to whisper

See how the leaves go streaming by

Smell how the velvet rain is falling

Out where the fields are warm and dry

Now is the time to run inside and stay

Now is the time to find a hideaway

Where we can play

Soon it's gonna rain,

I can see it

Soon it's gonna rain,

I can tell

Soon it's gonna rain,

What are we gonna do?

Soon it's gonna rain,

I can feel it

Soon it's gonna rain,

I can tell

Soon it's gonna rain,

What will we do with you?

We'll find four limbs of a tree

We'll build four walls and a floor

We'll bind it over with leaves

Then duck inside and play

Then we'll let it rain, we'll not feel it

Then we'll let it rain,

Rain pell mall

And we'll not complain if it never stops at all

We'll live and love within our castle

Hear how the wind begins to whisper

Feel how the rain is falling now

Happy Days Are Here Again

So long sad times

Go along bad times

We are rid of you at last

Howdy gay times

Cloudy gray times

You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again

The skies above are clear again

So let's sing a song of cheer again

Happy days are here again

Altogether shout it now

There's no one

Who can doubt it now

So let's tell the world about it now

Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone

There'll be no more from now on

From now on...

Happy days are here again

The skies above are clear again

So,

Let's sing a song of cheer again

Happy times

Happy nights

Happy days

Are here again!

 

Music and Lyrics by J. Yellen & M. Ager

Keepin' Out Of Mischief Now

Keepin' out of mischief now

I really am in love and how

I'm through playin' with fire

It's you whom I desire

All the world can plainly see

You're the only one for me

I have told them in advance

They can't break up our romance

Livin' up to all my vows

'Cause I'm keepin' out mischief now

Out of mischief now

I am in love and how

I'm through playin' with fire

It is you whom I desire

All the world can see

You are the one for me

I have told them in advance

They can not break up our romance

Livin' up to all my vows

'Cause

I'm keepin' out of mischief,...

Oh, yeah!

Keepin' out of mischief...

Oh, yeah!

Keepin' out of mischief now!

 

Music and Lyrics by A.Razaf & T. Waller

Much More

I'd like to swim

In a clear blue stream

Where the water is icy cold

Then go to town

In a golden gown

And have my fortune told

Just once, just once

Just once before I am old

I'd like to be not evil

But a little wordly wise

To be the kind of girl designed

To be kissed upon the eyes

I'd like to dance till two o'clock

Or maybe dance till dawn

Or if the band could stand it

Just go on and on and on

Just once, just once

Before the chance is gone

I'd like to waste a week or two

And never do a chore

To wear my hair unfastened

So it billows to the floor

To do the things I'd dreamed about

But never done before

Perhaps I'm bad or wild or mad

With lots of grief in store

But I want much more

Than keepin' house

Much more, much more,

Much more!

 

Music and Lyrics by H. Schmidt & T. Jones

Come To The Supermarket (In Old Peking)

If you want a fancy fan

Or a turkey born in Turkey-stan

Or a slave that's awf'lly African

Or a Teapot early Ming,

Come to the supermarket in old Peking.

If you want to buy a kite

Or a pup to keep you up at night

Or a dwarf who used to know Snow White

Or a frog who loves to sing,

Come to the supermarket in old Peking.

They have:

Sunflow'r cakes, moonbeam cakes,

Gizzard cakes, lizard cakes,

Pickled eels, pickle snakes,

Fit for any king,

If you want a bust of jade

Or an egg that's more or less decayed

Or in case you care to meet a maid

For a nice but naughty fling,

Come to the supermarket,

If you come on an ostrich, you can park it,

So come to the supermarket

And see Pe- King.

If you want a gong to beat

Or a rickshaw with a sassy seat

Or a painting slightly indiscreet

That is simply riveting,

Come to the supermarket and see Peking.

Well, If you want some calico

Or a gentle water buffalo

Glow worm guaranteed to glow

Or a cloak inclined to cling,

Come to the supermarket in old Peking.

They have bird's-nest soup, seaweed soup,

Noodle soup, poodle soup,

Talking crows with the croup,

Almost anything.

If you want to buy a saw

Or a fish delicious when it's raw

Or a pill to kill your moth'r-in-law

Or a bee without a sting,

Come to the supermarket,

If you come on a turtle, you can park it,

So come to the supermarket

If you come on a goose, you can park it,

So come to the supermarket

And see Pe- King!

 

Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter

A Sleepin' Bee

When a bee lies sleepin'

In the palm of your hand

You're bewitched and deep in love's

Long looked after love

Where you'll see a sun up sky

With the morning dew

And where the days go laughin' by

As love comes a-calling on you

Sleep on bee don't waken

Can't believe what just passed

He's mine for the takin'

I am happy at last...

Maybe I dreams, but he seems

Sweet golden as a crown

A sleepin' bee done told me

I will walk with my feet off the ground

When my one true love

I has found

Sleep on bee don't waken

Can not believe what just passed

He's mine for the takin'

I am happy at last...

Maybe I dreams but he seems

Golden as a crown

A sleepin' bee just told me

I will walk with my feet off the ground

When my one true love

I has found...
