- 18 Yellow Roses
Eighteen yellow roses came today
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
When the boy came to the door
I didn't know what to say
But eighteen yellow roses came today
I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes when I had read
Though you belong to another I love you anyway

There were angels dining at the Ritz
- A Picture No Artist Could Paint
You standing there in the moonlight

Not even the mass of the rose
You're a picture no artist could paint

I can't give you stars that shine
Or the moon above
All I have to offer you

A true, true love

Not like the rose
- Ace in the Hole
This town is full of guys

- Alabamy Bound
I'm Alabamy bound
There'll be no heebie-jeebies hangin' 'round

It means that pretty soon we'll cover ground
And then I'll holler, so the world will know

All by myself in the mornin’
All by myself in the night

Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find.

when mother and dad went away;

Somewhere waitin’ for me

Сколько дорог должен пройти человек,
Прежде чем его можно будет назвать настоящим человеком?
Да, и сколько морей должна облететь белая чайка,

Прежде чем их навеки запретят?
Ответ, мой друг, завис в воздухе,

Our voices all combine
In sweet accord to thank our Lord

- Down With Love
Down with love, the flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love, the root of all midnight blues

Down with love, let's liquidate all its friends
Moon and June and roses and rainbow's ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day

Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way

My own (yeah-yeah)

When I find my hard headed woman

Got a heart made like a stone

One of their old favourite songs from way back when
So, take a wrap fellas, find her an empty lap fellas
Dolly... never go away again
- Here I'll Stay
Stormy night under jet black skies
Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolled and the lightnin' bolts
Come crashin' to the ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone
As he walks into the room,
With another man who was feelin' the same way
All hell's breakin' loose
- How About You
like New York in June, how about you?
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due.

I like potato chips, moonlight motor trips, how about you?
I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And James Durante's looks give me a thrill
Holding hands in the movie show, when all the lights are low
- I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan

And that was that

- I'm Beginning To See The Light
I never cared much for moonlit skies,
Never winked back at fireflies,
But now that the stars are in your eyes

I never went in for afterglow,
Or candlelight on the mistletoe,
But now when you turn the lamp down low
- If a Man Answers
If a Man Answers your phone when I call
Oh, there's gonna be some screamin' that ain't all

That for sure it ain't me
If a Man Answers your phone then honey we're through!
- Indiana
Back home again in Indiana,
And it seems that I can see

Through the sycamores for me.

From the fields I used to roam.

So there’s never, never a trace of red
- Lonesome Polecat
I'm a lonesome polecat, lonesome, sad and blue

'Cause I ain't got no lady friend hound dog
Here to hear my tune

- Mame
You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame,
You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame,
You've got the banjoes strummin' and plunkin' out a tune to beat the band,
The whole plantation's hummin' since you brought Dixie back to Dixieland.
You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame.
You gave my old mint julep a kick, Mame.
Who ever thought a Yankee would put a little Dixie mouse to shame.
- Manana
The faucet it is dripping and the fence is falling down
My pocket needs some money so I can't go in to town
My brother he ain't working and my sister doesn't care
The car it needs a motor so I can't go anywhere
Manana Manana
Manana is soon enough for me
- Multiplication
When you see, a gentleman bee,

And each generation… it’s played the same!

Come out tonight, come out tonight?

It was poor little Jesus
He was born on Christmas

It was poor little Jesus
Yes, he laid in a manger
Do you believe he had no cradle?

Well, you can talk about your Julie and your Peggy Sue.

Oh well I love my queen.

If you see me comin', baby, lift your window high
If you see me comin', lift your window high
And if you see me going, hang your head and cry

Got to reel like you feel-a all night long

I don't want your diamonds or your game

Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
A vow that all betray

I wrapped the towel around me
And I opened the door, and then
- Sunday in New York
New York on Sunday,

Just take them out for a walk.
They'll burst like bubbles
- Talk To The Animals
If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it,
Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee,
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah,
What a neat achievement it would be!
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages,
Maybe Take an animal degree,
I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle,
- The Curtain Falls
Off comes the make up
Off comes the clown's disguise
The curtain's fallin'
The music softly dies.

As you're filin' out the door
As they say in this biz
- The End Of Never
I will leave you at the end of never
Come whatever Not before
When this earth is chilled by the sun
Then the love we've begun
Will be over and done
I will leave you far beyond forever
Past the music heaven hums
But I pray the end of never
- The Letter
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train

I just want to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm goin' home

The other half of me

(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
- This Could Be the Start of Something Big
Waiting for the words to come around
So all my doubts can settle down
Just one look and you've got me hooked
And I didn't know which road I took
So I can't get out, I can't get out
Standing in your front yard
This could be the start of something more
- Venice Blue
I saw Venice turn blue
Before my very eyes
I saw Venice turn blue
The moment love died.
I walked by the canal
Or through some little square
And echoes of her words
- Wear My Ring

And make this solemn vow
That you will always be

You know?
You know, you know, you know
You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a beautiful child
When we were only starting to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove those other childs wild
