A SLEEPIN' BEE

(T.Capote & H.Arlen)

When a bee lies sleepin'
In the palm o' your hand
You're bewitch'd and deep in love's
Long look'd after land
Where you'll see a sun up sky
With the mornin' new
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 told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found...

BARBRA STREISAND
A TASTE OF HONEY

(R. Marlow & B. Scott)

Cold winds may blow over 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 e?er 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.

BARBRA STREISAND
ABSENT MINDED ME

(B.Merril & J.Styne)

Absent minded me
Absent minded me
I'm losing a key
Or missing a glove
Just like me to lose my love
Gotta find it, absent minded me
Dizzy dopey me
Mixed up mopey me
I'm way, way ahead
Of the game then it starts
How did I lose my king of hearts?
Gotta find it, absent minded me
There's my key
Gee, I left it in the door
There's my glove on the shelf
Now if I don't find my love
I'll be losing myself
Gotta find him
Gotta find him
Absent minded me
Absent minded me...

BARBRA STREISAND
ALL THAT I WANT

(N.Wolfe & F.Forest)

I want a gown of diamonds
Long gloves and sweet perfumes
Hats made of silks and satins
Seaqueens and ostrich plums
I want to wear mascara
Polish my nails real bright
I want to be an actress
Actresses play all night
If I should sneeze, it's a sign
All that I want to will be mine
Oh please, pretty, please
Dear nose, make me sneeze!
I want to find my true love
Like all the love songs say
I want to do what I want
I want to get my way
Wild dreams grow wise
When sweet childhood flies
Time waved a hand
And the breeze blew the sand from my eyes
I want a gown of kingdom
Diamonds would weigh me down
Pompoms and plums are pretty
If you're a circus clown
Funny how black mascara
Streaks when the tears begin
Nail polish, rouge and powder
Can't paint the sparkle in
Once I was slaved to a sneeze
Now sneezing is just a disease
A rose is a rose
And a nose just a nose
True love's a phrase for love songs
Real love's a leaving thing
I want the love worth living
I want the things I sing
I want the love worth living
I want the things I sing

BARBRA STREISAND
ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE

(O.Hammerstein II & J.Kern)

Time and again I long for adventure
Something to make my heart beat the faster
What did I long for I never really knew
Finding your love I found my adventure
Touching your hand my heart beats the faster
All that I want in all of this world is...
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink
Of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I've known are what you are
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine...
Dah dah dah...
Someday my happy arms will hold
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine...
Tuh tuh mmm dah dah dah...

ANY PLACE I HANG MY HAT IS HOME

(J. Mercer and H. Arlen)

Free an' easy,
That's my style,
Howdy do me,
Watch me smile,
But fare the well me after while,
'Cause I gotta roam
An' any place I hang my hat is home!
Sweetenin' water,
Cherry wine,
Thank you kindly,
Suits me fine,
Kansas City, even Caroline,
That's my honeycomb,
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home.
Birds roostin' in a tree pick up an' go,
An' the goin' proves that's how it oughta to be,
I pick up too when the spirit moves me.
Cross the river, round the bend,
Howdy stranger,
So long friend,
There's a voice in the lonesome win'
Keeps whisperin' roam!
I'm going where a welcome mat is,
No matter where that is,
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home

BARBRA STREISAND
AS TIME GOES BY

(Herman Hupfeld)

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
Time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
Oh, no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
'Cause time goes by...

BARBRA STREISAND
AUTUMN

(R. Maltby, Jr. & D. Shire)

Autumn, it feels like Autumn
Although the breeze is still
I feel the chill of Autumn
Oh, yes, it's Autumn
It's always Autumn
However green the hill
To me it still is Autumn
I can feel the frost now
That makes my Spring and Summer dreams
Seem lost now
Why can't the Autumn haze
Recall the days of warm summer laughter?
That faded soon after in the Autumn
He left in Autumn
And though another season's here
I feel the emptiness of Autumn
All the year...

BARBRA STREISAND
AUTUMN LEAVES

(J.Mercer, J. Prevert & J.Kosma)

Et les vents du Nord, les emportant
Dans la nuit blanche de n'oubli
Que moi, je n'ai pas oublie
La chanson que tu me chantais
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When the autumn leaves start to fall...

BACK TO WORK

CHORUS:
Hey here comes Joe now running down the street, hey Joe!
He must have news the way he moves his feet, hey Joe!
He's coming from the meeting with the boss, hey Joe!
I hope they didn't throw him for a loss, hey Joe!
He must have news about the strike, I wonder what it's like.
Hey Joe! Hey Joe! Hey Joe, don't be so slow!
Tell us, Joe! Spill it, Joe! Joe, what do you know?

JOE:
What do I know?
I ain't heard as good news since Lord knows when,
For the strike is over, boys,
Back to work again!

CHORUS:
Yeah!

JOE:
The fighting's through now,
There's no more fuss
For the strike is over, boys,
Back to work for us!

CHORUS:
Yeah!

JOE:
We gave a little, and we took a little.
It was quite a fight but things came out all right!
Shout to the rafters, let yourselves go.
For the striking all is done, let's have fun,
The day is won, back to work we go!

CHORUS:
Yeah!
Back to work again!
Back to work for us! JOE:
We gave a little, and we took a little. We gave and we took
It was quite a fight It was quite a fight

JOE:
But things came out all right!
Shout to the rafters, let yourselves go.
For the striking all is done,

JOE and CHORUS:
Let's have fun,
The day is won, back to work we go!
Back to work, Joe!
Back to work, Joe!
Back to work we go!

BEWITCHED (BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED)

(Richard Rodgers and Lorentz Hart)

I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I...
Hmm...
Could not sleep, would not sleep
'Til love came and told me I should not sleep
Bothered and bewildered am I...
Lost my heart, so what of it?
He was cold, I agree,
He can laugh and I love it
Although the laugh's on me.
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him,
Bewitched, bothered so bewildered am I...

C'EST SI BON (IT'S SO GOOD)

(J.Seelen, A.Hornez & H.Betti)

C'est si bon
Lovers say that in France
When they thrill to romance
It means that it's so good
C'est si bon
So I say to you
Like the French people do
Because it's oh so good
Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear,
Leads to only one thought
And the thought is this, dear!
C'est si bon
Nothing else can replace
Just your slyest embrace
And if you only would be my own for the rest my days
I will whisper this phrase
My darling, my darling...
C'est si bon!

BARBRA STREISAND
CLOPIN CLOPANT

(B.Coquatrix, P.Dudan & K.Goell)

In France when one is walking sadly
They say he walks Clopin Clopant
His step is slow, his fault is badly
Perhaps the one he loves is gone
Clopin Clopant I hear his footsteps
As in the night he passes by
And as I hear his endless footsteps
I get to thinking they'll go out
I'll go along Clopin Clopant
Whispering he's gone, he is gone, he is gone
My childish heart cries like a baby
Without my love what will each day be ?
So I go on Clopin Clopant
Trudging alone Clopin Clopant
Love is a dance and one must learn it
I had my chance, why did I spurn it?
What can I do? Why carry on?
Going alone Clopin Clopant, Clopin Clopant, Clopin Clopant...

COME TO THE SUPERMARKET (IN OLD PEKING)

(Cole Porter)

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!

CRY ME A RIVER

(A. Hamilton)

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 to 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 to 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...

DOING THE REACTIONARY

It's darker than the dark bottom
It rumbles more than the Rumba
If you think that the two steps got 'em
Just take a look at this number
It's got that certain swing
That makes you wanna sing

Don't go left, but be polite
Move to the right
Doing the reactionary

Close your eyes to where you're bound
And you'll be found
Doing the reactionary

All the best dictators do it
Millionaires keep steppin' to it
The Four Hundred love to sing it
Ford and Morgan swing it

Hands up high and shake your head
You'll soon see red
Doing the reactionary

Don't go left, but be polite
Move to the right
Doing the reactionary

Close your eyes to where you're bound
And you'll be found
Doing the reactionary

All the best dictators do it
Millionaires keep steppin' to it
The Four Hundred love to sing it
Ford and Morgan swing it

Hands up high and shake your head
You'll soon see red
Doing the reac
Doing the reac
Tionary

So get in it, begin it
It's smart, oh, so very
To do the reactionary!

BARBRA STREISAND
DON'T LIKE GOODBYES

(T.Capote & H.Arlen)

It's not easy
It's never been easy
To let anyone
See the sentimental side of me
Hard as I try, I can't help but show
It's my heart you're taking as you go
Don't like goodbyes, tears or sighs
I'm not too good at leaving time
I've got no taste for grieving time
No, no, no, no, not me

You've been my near one
Ever my dear one
I never thought that you would find
Another love,
A different kind,
But it came to be
Now that your future is looking up
Forget the past and go fill your loving cup
But remember, remember leaving is fine
And the world overhead
Has a clear new shine
I won't be grieving now that you're leaving
It's traveling time and you must move on,
Find someone that you can lean upon
And if I could arrange it,
Oh, would I care to change it
Not me...Not me...

BARBRA STREISAND
DOWN WITH LOVE

(E.Y. Harburg and H. Arlen)

Down with love,
With flowers and rice and shoes,
Down with love,
The root of all midnight blues,
Down with things
That give you that well known pain,
Take that moon,
Wrap it in cellophane;
Down with love let's liquidate
All it's friends,
Like moon, June, roses
And rainbow's ends,
Down with songs
That moan about night and day;
Down with love,
Take it away, away,
Take it away, take it away,
Give it back to the birds,
And the bees and the Viennese,
Down with eyes romantic and stupid,
Down with sighs, down with cupid.
Brother let's stuff that dove,
Down with love!
Down with love!
Liquidate all it's friends
Like moon, June, roses
And rainbow's ends
Down with songs
That moan about night and day
You are the one...
And I don't stand a chance with a ghost like you
Ah, the promised kiss of Spring is here...
Why does my heart go dancin' overhead...
On the ceiling near my bed...
We go now...
Because I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me...
I tell them:
You say eether I say eyether,
You say neether, I say nyther
Eether, eyether
Neether, nyther
Let's call the whole thing off!
Take it away, take it away
Give it back to the birds
And the bees and the Viennese...
Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs, down with cupid,
Brother let's stuff that dove,
Down, down, down
I go on round and round
I go in a spin,
Hey, in the spin, I'm in!
What is this thing...
What is this thing called love?

BARBRA STREISAND
DRAW ME A CIRCLE

Draw me a circle that's perfectly round
One curving line, simple and fine
Now add two ears, and a lopsided nose,
And if you care, add some hair
Now draw two eyes and make them bright
Because they've just seen a beautiful sight
Sketch in a mouth with a radiant grin
One coming deep from within
You've drawn me a circle
And now that you're through,
It's a picture of me after being with you...

BARBRA STREISAND
FINE AND DANDY

(K.Swift & P.James)

Please forgive this platitude
But I like your attitude
You are just the kind I've had in mind,
Never could find
Honey, I'm so keen on you
I could come to lean on you
On a random bay
Give you your way
Do what you say
Gee, it's all fine and dandy
Sugar candy,
When I've got you
Then I only see the sunny side
Even trouble has its funny side
When you're gone, my sugar candy
I get so lonesome, I get so blue
But when you're handy
It's fine and dandy
But when you're gone
What can I do?

BARBRA STREISAND
FOUR LITTLE ANGELS OF PEACE

Four little angels of peace are we
Loving our neighbors so peacefully
There's really no harm if we do not disarm
For we always in close harmony
Four little angels of peace are we
There is one thing on which we agree
With fall or with friend
We will fight to the end
Just for peace, peace, peace...
Though we butchered the boss
And I've own made the choice
And slaughter the Irish no end
Though I'm injured and poor
Slaying hoard upon hoard
We're but playing the part of a friend
Yes, our arms we ain't twist
But we'll be elected for peace
Except in the case of the crook
We conquered both spears
Now we're up to our ears
Just trying to keep what we took
Three little angels of peace are we
Living together so blissfully
Oh, we never fight unless
We're on the right
But we're always in the right, you see?
Three little angels of peace are we
There is one thing on which we agree
Until we are wrecks
We'll break each other's necks
Just for peace, peace, peace...
In Japan we've the right
In a generous night
But the Emperor knows peace is finer
It isn't our fault it's a case of absurd
We're picked down and buried by China
Oh, how we're deplored
I glad did it for the world
We're a nation of poets and thinkers
Also, though we bound without pity
And lay west to his city
It's because all the Chinese are stinkers
Two little angels of peace are we
Living together in amity
We'll sign any pack saying we won't attack
But it's just a mere formality
Two little angels of peace are we
There is one thing on which we agree
We try to keep calm
When we gas, we bump
Just for peace, peace, peace...
Now I know that our war
Is a thing to have horror
And that peaceful fill out
When we hope we have
With our love from the start
I atrocious did all my part
To civilize nearly the hope we have
Though you call me sadistic
Imperialistic
My armies required a quarry
And though we may slave
What's a splendid day today
After all that we'll say that we're sorry
Though I fall for the urge
Of a nice bloody purge
And living my way I was carrying on
Though I clean up my Schmutz
Would I hear Nazi putz
It is all for the sake of the Aryan
My ambitions are small
I want nothing at all
My plans wouldn't be any littler
Now that Austria's Nazi
It will be hazy gazy
To put the whole world under Hitler
Four little angels of peace are we
Drinking with older of saintity
Though we slaughter the meek
We confirm every week
And we talk it over peacefully
Four little angels of peace are we
There is one thing on which we agree
We'll shout and we'll shell
We'll get each other's hell
Just for peace, peace, peace...

FREE AGAIN

Back to being free again
Back to being me again
With all my precious freedom, my precious, precious freedom
On my own
Back to being on my own
Back to live the life I'd known
Before I ever knew him, before I ever knew him
Free again, independent me , free again
Time to call up all the crowd
Raise the roof and shout out loud
Time to have a party, a party
Lucky me, take a look at lucky, lucky me
Take a look and you can see
How much I love my freedom, my precious, precious freedom
Simple me, complicated, simple me
Back to where I used to be before I ever knew him
Before I ever knew him...
Free again, lucky, lucky me
Free again
Back in circulation, now,
Time for celebration, now
Time to have a party, a party...

Time to have a party!
Lucky me, take a look at lucky, lucky me

GOTTA MOVE

(P. Matz)

Gotta move, gotta get out
Gotta leave this place, gotta find some place
Some other place, some brand new place
Some place where each face that I see
Won't be staring back at me
Telling me what to be and how to be it
Some place where I can just be me
Gotta move, got to get out
Gotta leave this town, gotta find some town
Some big new town, some bright new town
Some new town with new places, new lights
And most of all some new faces
Gotta find a man, a new man
A man who won't worry 'bout where I go
A man who wont ask how I learned what I know
A man who will know that I've gotta be free
A man who will know when to just let me be
Gotta move, gotta get out
Gotta change my life, gotta find my life
I'll find me a place in some new town and baby
And when I find me that new place, then maybe I
Gotta leave this town, gotta leave this place
Gotta find a new man...Gotta move!

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN

(J. Yellen & M. Ager)

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!

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

Christmas' future is far away
Christmas' past is passed
Christmas' present is here today
Bringing joy that will last
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your hearts be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule time gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yoke
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bow
(Hang a shining star)
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
(Have yourself a merry little Christmas now...)

HE TOUCHED ME

(I.Levin & M.Shafer)

He touched me,
He put his hand near mine
And then he touched me
I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
A sparkle, a glow
He knew it...
It wasn't accidental, no,
He knew it
He smiled and seem to tell me so all through it
He knew it, I know...
He's real, and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive toward valentining
He touched me, I simply have to face the fact
He touched me...
Control myself and try to act
As if I remember my name
But he touched me...
He touched me...
And suddenly nothing is the same!
'Cause he touched me...
He touched me...
And suddenly... nothing, nothing, nothing is the same!

BARBRA STREISAND
I CAN SEE IT

(J.Melfi & R.Perry)

Beyond that road lies a shining world.
Beyond that road lies despair.
Beyond that road lies a world that's gleaming.
People who are scheming.
Beauty!
Hunger!
Glory!
Sorrow!
Never a pain or care.
I'm liable to find a couple of surprises there.
There's a song he must sing;
It's a well known song.
But the tune is bitter
And it doesn't take long to learn!

I can learn!
That pretty little world that beams so bright.
That pretty little world that seems delightful
Can burn!
Let me learn! Let me learn!

For, I can see it!
Shining somewhere!
Bright lights somewhere invite me to come there
And learn!
And I'm ready!

I can hear it!
Sirens singing!
Inside my ear I hear them all singing
Come learn!

Who knows, maybe
All the visions I can see
May be waiting just for me
To say take me there, and

Make me see it!
Make me feel it!
I know it's so
I know that it really
May be!
Let me learn!

BARBRA STREISAND
I DON'T CARE MUCH

(F. Ebb and J. Kander)

I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care very much
Either way

Hearts grow hard
On a windy street
Lips grow cold
With the rent to meet
So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much

I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care very much
Either way

Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in
So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much

I GOT PLENTY OF NOTHIN'

(G.Gershwin, I.Gershwin & B.Heyward)

I got no lock on my door, that's the way to be
They can steal the rug from my floor
That's okay with me, 'cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the skies they're all free
Oh, I got plenty of nothin', and nothin's plenty for me
I got no car, I got no mule, I got no misery!
The folks with plenty of plenty
They got a lock on their door
Afraid somebody is agoin' to rub'em
While they're out there makin' more
What for?
I got no lock on my door
That's the way to be
They can steal the rug from my floor
That's okay with me'cause the things that I prize,
Like the stars in the skies, are all free
So, I got plenty of nothin', and nothin's plenty for me
I got the sun, I got the moon, I got the deep blue sea
The folks with plenty of plenty
Oh, they got to pray all the day, hey!
Seems with plenty, you sure got to worry
How to keep the devil away
Keep them away
Oh, I'm never afraid about hell, till my time arrives
Never worry, never worry, long as I'm well
Never one to strive to be good, to be bad
What the hell, I'm just glad I'm alive!
Oh, I got plenty of nothin', and nothin is plenty for me
Got my man, got my love, and I... I got my song!

I HAD MYSELF A TRUE LOVE

I had myself a true love
A true love who was something to see
I had myself a true love
At least that's what I kept on telling me
The first thing in the morning
I still try to think of a way to be with him
Some part of the evening
And that's the way I live through the day

I had myself a true love, but now he's gone
And left me for good
The Lord knows I've done heard those back yard
Whispers going 'round the neighborhood
There maybe a lot of things I miss
A lot of things I don't know
But I do know this, now I ain't got no love
And once upon a time I had a true love
In the evening, in the doorway
While I stand there and wait for his coming
With the house swept and the clothes hung,
In a pot on the stove there's a hot meal
Where is he while I waste the rising newel?
Where is he? Why'd he gone so soon?
Now there ain't no way that it used to be, what now?
And everybody keeps telling me
There are may be a lot of things I miss
A lot of things I don't know
But I do know this now...
I ain't got no love
And once upon a time I had a true love.

BARBRA STREISAND
I STAYED TOO LONG AT THE FAIR

(B. Barnes)

Hmmm...hmmm...
Hmmm...hmmm...
I wanted the music to play on forever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I brought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair,
But I couldn't find anybody to care;
The merry go round is beginning to slow now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
The music has stop and the children must go now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
Oh, mother dear, I know you're very proud,
Your little girl and kingdom is so far above the crowd;
No, daddy dear,
You never could have known
That I would be successful, yet so very much alone...
I wanted to live in a carnival city,
With laughter and love everywhere;
I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty,
I wanted somebody to care;
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
But now I discover them no longer blue...
The merry go round is beginning to taunt me,
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
There's nothing to win
And there's no one to want me
Have I stayed too long at the fair?

BARBRA STREISAND
I WISH YOU LOVE

(A.A.Beach & C.Trenet)

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends...
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say...
I wish you bluebirds in the Spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love!
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health, and more than wealth, I wish you love!
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never ever be
So with my best, my very best, I set you free!
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, but most of all...
When snowflakes fall, I wish you wealth
I wish you health...I wish you love!

BARBRA STREISAND
I WONDER AS I WANDER

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How .Jesus, the Savior
Did come for to die
For poor only people
Like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
If Jesus had wanted far anything
Star in the sky or a bird on the wing...
Or all of God's angels
And Heaven for to sing
He surely could help it
For He was the king
I wander as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus, the Savior
Did come for to die
For poor only people
Like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

BARBRA STREISAND
I'LL KNOW

(feat. From Guys And Dolls)



I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there...
I'll know...
At the sight of his face
How I care, how I care, how I care...
And I'll stop...
And I'll stare
And I'll know
Long before we can speak!
I'll know
I'll in my heart
I will know and I won't ever ask
Am I right, am I wise, am I smart?'
But I but I'll stop, and I'll stare at that face in the throng
Yes, I'll know when my love comes along
There he'll stand before my eyes one day
I won't need a second glance his way
I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there...
I'll know...
At the sight of his face
How I care, how I care, how I care...
And I'll stop...
And I'll stare
At that face in the throng...
Yes, I'll know when my love comes along!

BARBRA STREISAND
I'LL TELL THE MAN IN THE STREET

(L. Hart & R. Rodgers)

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
Or the whippoorwill
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'd use the radio
And when I've said all I say
You may be old and gray
But you can't get away from me.

BARBRA STREISAND
I'M ALL SMILES

(M.Leonard & H.Martin)

I'm all smiles, darling
You'd be too
If you knew, darling
All of the smiles were for you
I'm all chills, darling
Through and through
But my cold hands, darling
Warm to the touch of you
Rain hasn't fallen for days now
But rainbows are filling the skies
My heart must have painted those rainbows
Shining before my eyes
Can't you tell that I'm in love, darling?
Deep and true, with guess who, darling
Someone I'd die for
Beg steal or lie for
Eat humble pie for
Someone to fly
To the sun, moon and sky for
Someone to live for
To love with and cry for
And that someone is you...

BARBRA STREISAND
I'VE BEEN HERE

(E.Shuman, M Vaucaire & C.Dumont)

Draw me no maps, vow me no vows
No they perhaps, just here and nows
Tomorrow's dream is not my dream
It comes too late and I can't wait
The river runs with one remark
Get on your way, it's growing dark
And so I live to have my say
To get and give each burning day
And if in time I find my love
He'll find that I'm no frightened dove
For all too soon young love is passed
It's tender leaves fall off too fast
Each rising hill, each falling stream
Cause to fulfill each day's new dream
Some brighter road to fly along
Some stronger wine, some wilder song
And when I'm gone don't shed one tear
The world will know that I've been here!

BARBRA STREISAND
I'VE GOT NO STRINGS

(feat. From Pinocchio)



(L.Harline & N.Washington)

I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
I've got no strings so I have fun
I'm not tied to anyone
How I love my liberty,
There are no strings on me!
Hi ho the me ri o, I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
Why does the gay little dicky bird sing?
What put the zing in a butterfly's wing?
What's the reason for the smile of a troubadour?
Why does the breeze have a barrel of fun?
Even the bee who's a son of a gun
It's all because they're free
And stringless the same as me
I've got no strings and I'm so glad
No strings at all to make me sad
I had strings but now I'm free,
There are no strings on me
Oh, hi ho, the way we go
I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know nothing ever worries me!
I've got no strings so I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
How I love my liberty,
There are no strings on me!
No ties to bind me,
It's not easy to find me,
'Cause I've got no strings on me!
Hm hm hm!

BARBRA STREISAND
IF YOU WERE THE ONLY BOY IN THE WORLD

(C.Grey & N.Ayer)

If I were the only girl in the world
And you were the only boy
Nothing else would matter in the world today
We could go on loving in the same old way
A Garden of Eden, hmm, just made for two
With nothing to harm our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such wonderful things to do
If were the only girl in the world
And you were the only boy
...If I were the only girl...
Nothing else would matter in the world today
We could go on loving in the same sweet way
A Garden of Eden, hmm, just made for two
With nothing to change our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such beautiful things to do
If were the only girl in the world
And you were the only boy.

BARBRA STREISAND
IT HAD TO BE YOU

(Kahn and Jones)

Seems like dreams like I always had
Could be, should be making me glad
Why am I blue?
It's up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe, baby, I'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say
It's you I need and you'll be pleading in vain

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wondered around, finally found somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad
Thinking of you

Some others I've seen,
Might never be mean, might never be cross,
Or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do
'Cause nobody else gave ma a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, crazy old you, it had to be you

JENNY REBECCA

(J.Hull)

Jenny Rebecca, four days old
How do you like the world so far?
Jenny Rebecca, four days old
What a lucky, lucky, lucky
Lucky girl you are
For you have swings to be swung on
Trees to be climbed up
Days to be young on
Toys you can wind up
Grass to be lying on
Sun up above
Pillows for crying on
When you're in love
Ponies for riding
Wind in your hair
Slides to be sliding on
Leaves in the air
Dogs to be caring for
Love to be giving
Dreams to be daring for
Long as you're living
Yes, you have
Dreams to be daring for
Long as you're living
Jenny Rebecca, four days old
What a lucky, lucky, lucky
Lucky girl you are...

JINGLE BELLS

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh,
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
We're dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
All the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob tail ring
Making spirits bright
Oh what fun it is to sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Oh Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh,
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.
Upsot ?
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh,
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
Dashing through, the fields of white
On this happy Christmas night
Off we go through the snow
Bells are ringing, but we're singing
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle bells, Jingle bells Jing jangle
Jingle bells, Jingle bells Jing jangle
Jingle bells, Jingle bells Jing jangle
Jingle bells, Jingle bells Jing jangle
JJJJJJJingle bells, JJJJJJangle bells
JJJJ al the way
Jingle all the way,
In a one horse open sleigh

BARBRA STREISAND
JUST IN TIME

(Jule Styne, Betty Comden and Adolph Green)

Just in time
I found you just in time
Before you came my time was running low,
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed,
Nowhere to go;
Now you're here
And now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fear
I've found my way
For love came just in time
I found you just in time
And changed my lonely life that lucky day.

KEEPIN' OUT OF MISCHIEF NOW

(A.Razaf & T. Waller)

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 of my vows
'Cause I'm keepin' out of mischief,...Oh, yeah!
Keepin' out of mischief...Oh, yeah!
Keepin' out of mischief now!

LE MUR

(M.Vaucaire & C.Dumont)

Ils ont construit
Un grand mur gris
Couleur d'ennui
Couleur malheur
Un mur de gene
Un mur de peine
Un mur de haine
Un mur de peur
Et ils ont fait
Ce qui devait
A tout jamais
Nous separer
Ils ont perdu
Ils m'ont battue
Nous empechait
De nous aimer
Ils ont construit
Un grand mur gris
Couleur de pluie
Couleur d'hiver
Pour nous cacher
Nous baionnettes
Et nous empechait
Nous etouffer
Nous faire a Terre
Ils ont perdu
Ils m'ont battue
Nous empechait
De nous aimer
Ils m'ont battue
Nous empechait
De leur crier
Un monde entier
Nous empechait
De nous aimer
De leur crier
Un monde entier...

LIKE A STRAW IN THE WIND

(H. Arlen)

Like a straw in the wind
I go whirling around
Like a bird who's just learnin' to fly
Feet are not on the ground
Drift from pillar to post
So helplessly
What I wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
Hmm...
Nothing you try to do
Helps you to comfort your heart
Don't yo' heart get all the bricks
When your hopes come unpinned
Trouble steps in and makes
You feel like a straw in the wind
Like a straw in the wind
Free an' easy
That's my style
I go whirling around
Howdy do me,
Watch me smile
Like a bird who's just learned to fly
Fare the well me after while
Feet are not on the ground
So I gotta roam
Drift from pillar to post
Sweetenin' water
Cherry wine
So helplessly
Thank you kindly suits me fine
What I wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
So any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go
An' the goin' proves
That is how it oughta be
I pick up too
When the spirit moves me
Cross the river, round the bend
Howdy stranger, so long friend
There is a voice in the lonesome wind
I hear whisperin' roam
I'm goin' where a welcome mat is, no matter where that is
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home!
Is home!

BARBRA STREISAND
LOVE AND LEARN

(N.Gimbel, E.Marnay & M.Legrand)

Love and learn, they say we love and learn
Learn the facts of love
Each in his turn
Learn that love will soothe and love will burn
It will hurl you to heaven and then down again
Give you hope, give you heartbreak
Love and learn like me that love is strange
Sweet and bitter ride
That one and nothing can change it
Love and learn like me that love is strange
It will warm you in winter and chill in spring
Invade your nights then one day be gone
Love and learn so your heart may wiser be
Love and learn that love's mad, gay and sad, good and bad
Nothing like you've had but you can't
Heaven it seems
You give your love to your man
All the love that you can
Never do you dream
He will take it and go one day
Now you know all there is to know about
There you go
Wise to love but still without it
Love and learn that you learn
Not a thing at all

BARBRA STREISAND
LOVE IS A BORE

(S.Cahn & J. Van Hausen)

Here is a verse unlike any verse
To a song that you've never heard
It deals with the subject that I and the authors agree
Is at best absurd
Love is a bore
Love is a ball game without a score
Love is a sail boat without a sail
The lock on the candy store
Asparagus without the hollandaise
Plus all the petty laughs
In Tennesse Williams' plays
I used to love it but now it's a drag
Love is a flag pole without a flag
Love is the mailman without the mail
A comic without a gag
A soap opera plot and lots lots more
But mainly I mean love is a bore

It's I'll call you tomorrow
It's a phone that never rings
It's a sack full of sorrow
Or a ride on angel's wings
So just remember the next time you saw
Love is an exit without a door
But if you're in love you'll ignore
All the things that I've said here before

And you'll pray that your love
Whatever he does
Will come back and be
The bore that he was
Before!

BARBRA STREISAND
LOVER MAN

I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissing
Ooh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
The night is cold, and I'm all so alone
I'd give my soul, just to call you my own
Got the moon above me, but no one to love me...
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it's said that the thrill of romance can't be
Like the heavenly dream
I go to bed with the prayer
That you'll make my love to me
Strange as it may seem
Some day we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet
Little things in my ears
Hugging and then kissing
Hum, what I've been missing
Lover man oh where can you be?

BARBRA STREISAND
LOVER, COME BACK TO ME

(Sigmund Romberg and O.Hammerstein II)

Sky was blue and high above
The moon was new and so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, where can you be
It came at last love had its day
The day is past, you've gone away
This eager heart of mine is singing
Lover, come to me
I remember every little thing you used to do
I I'm lonely
Every road I walk along,
I've walked along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover, come to me
When I remember every little thing you used to do
Huh huh...I'm lonely
Every road I walk along,
I've walked along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while I'm standing here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover, lover, get here to me...
Now!

MA PREMIERE CHANSON

(B.Streisand & E.Marnay)

Avec un doigt sur un piano,
Avec ma voix autour de quelques mots,
J'ai tant joue avec ton nom,
Que j'ai vu naitre une chanson.
J'avais dans mes mains,
Ton coeur et le mien.
Ce vieux piano revient toujours,
Au premier jour de mon premier amour,
Chaque seconde avait ton nom,
Et j'ai trouve cette chanson.

BARBRA STREISAND
MAKE BELIEVE

(J.Kern & O.Hammerstein II)

We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we?
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss, or two, or three
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth
I only tell the truth
This time I'll tell the truth
I do!

BARBRA STREISAND
MAKE THE MAN LOVE ME

(D.Fields & A.Schwartz)

I must try to make the man love me
Make the man love me now
By and by I will make the man happy
I know how
He must see how badly I want him
Want him just as he is
And may I say that sure the man ask me
I'll be his
Can I tell the man
Just how dearly blessed we would be
AII the beauty I see so clearly
Oh, why can't he?
So I pray to heaven above me
Pray until day grows dim
For I'll wait to make the man love me
As I love him
For I'll wait to make the make love me
As I love him...

MARTINA

I can see Martina as a child of three
In the sad seclusion of her nursery
Go outside, Martina! Go outside and play
Never speak, Martina, put your toys away
So her days were loveless
And her nights the same
When she cried for someone
No one ever came...
Is it any wonder that her eyes grew cold?
That she loved nobody and her young heart grew old
All the children crying from the age of three
Grow to be Martina's and me...

MEDLEY

I'm wearing second hand shoes
Second hand hose
All the girls hand me
Their second hand clothes
Even my pajamas when I darn 'em
Have somebody else's
Initials on 'em
Second hand rings
Hmm... Second hand things
I never get what other girlies do
Once while strolling
Through the Ritz a girl got my goat...
She nudged her friend
And said, oh, look there goes
My old fur coat

I don't believe in
Frettin' and grievin'
Why mess around with strife
I never was caught out
To step and strut out
Give me the simple life
Some find a pleasant dining on pheasants
Those things roll off my comb
Just serve me tomatoes
And mashed potatoes
Any place I hang my hat is home

Oh, I got plenty o' nothin'
And nothin's plenty for me
I got no car,
I got no mule
I got no misery
Don't you see?
I got no lock on my door
That's okay with me
'Cause the things that I prize,
Like the stars in the skies, are all free
I got plenty o' nothin'
And nothin's plenty for me

Once I built a railroad
Made it run,
Made it race
Against time
Once I built a railroad
Now it's done
Brother can you spare a dime?
Say don't you remember
They called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say don't you remember
I'm your pal
Buddy can you spare a dime?

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket's
Not one penny
And your friends
Well, you haven't any
Soon as you get on your feet again
Everybody
Everybody
Is your long lost friend
It's mighty strange
Without a doubt
But nobody knows you
When you're down and out

Oh, every one knows
That I'm just second hand Rose
From Second Avenue
Ya can't beat the egg creams
From Second Avenue
There is more between me
And Fifth Avenue
Than three blocks
I tell ya
Second Avenue

The flowers in spring
The robins that sing
The sun beams that shine
They're yours, they're mine
And love can come to anyone
Because the best things in life are free

MORE THAN YOU KNOW

(B.Rose, E.Eliscu & V.Youmans)

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
Give you the break you need
More than you know,
More than you know,
Man of my heart,
I love you so.
Lately I find,
You're on my mind,
More than you know.

Whether you're right,
Whether you're wrong,
Man of my heart,
I'll string along.
You need me so
More than you'll ever know.

Loving you the way that I do,
There's nothing I can do about it.

Loving may be all you can give,
But honey, I can't live without it.

Oh, how I'd cry,
Oh, how I'd cry,
If you got tired,
And said goodbye.

More than I'd show,
More than you'll ever know.

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've 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!

MY COLORING BOOK

(F. Ebb and J. Kander)

For those who fancy coloring books
As certain people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual coloring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready, very well
Begin to color me
These are the eyes that watched him
As he walked away
Color them gray
This is the heart that thought
He would always be true
Color it blue
These are the arms that held him
And touched him then lost him somehow
Color them empty now
These are the beads I wore
Until she came between
Color them green
This is the room I sleep in
Walk in and weep in
Hide in that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please
This is the man
The one I depended upon
Color him gone...

MY FAVORITE THINGS

(feat. From The Sound Of Music)



(R.Rodgers & O.Hammerstein II)

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
Like sliver white winters that melt into springs
And then I don't feel so bad!

MY FUNNY VALENTINE

(R.Rodgers & L.Hart)

Be hold the way our fine feathered friend
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowest not my dim witted friend
The picture Thou hast made
Thy vacant brow and Thy tousled hair
Conceal Thy good intent
Thou noble upright, truthful, sincere
And slightly dopey gent
You're my funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite 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!

MY HONEY'S LOVING ARMS

(H. Ruby & J. Meyer)

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 morris 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
[One more time!]
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 arms
I said my honey 's loving
I mean my honey's loving arms,
I mean my honey's loving...
Arms!

MY LORD AND MASTER

(R.Rodgers & O.Hammerstein II)

He is pleased with me!
My Lord and Master
Declares that he's pleased with me
What does he mean?
What does he know of me,
This lord and master?
When he has looked at me,
What has he seen?
Something young
Soft and slim,
Painted cheek,
Tap'ring limb,
Smiling lips
All for him,
Eyes that shine
Just for him
So he thinks...
Just for him!
Though the man may be
My Lord and Master,
Though he may study me
As hard as he can,
The smile beneath my smile
He'll never see
He'll never know
I love another man
He'll never know
I love another man.

MY MAN

(feat. From Funny Girl)



(I.Bibo, L.Woods & M.Yvain)

Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, but I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right...
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knee someday
For whatever my man is, I am his forever more
It cost me a lot,
But there's one thing that I've got, it's my man
Cold and wet tired, you bet,
But all that I soon forget with my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me, but I love him...
Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, but I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right...
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knee someday
For whatever my man is, I am his forever more...

BARBRA STREISAND
MY MELANCHOLY BABY

(M.Watson, G.A.Norton & E.Burnett)

Why do you grieve?
Try and believe
Life is always sunshine
When the heart beats true
Banish your fears
Smile through your tears
When you're sad
It makes me feel the same as you...
Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know, dear, that I'm in love with you...
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Come on and smile, my honey dear,
While I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too...

BARBRA STREISAND
MY NAME IS BARBRA

(L.Bernstein)

My mother said
That babies come in bottles
But last week she said
They grew on special babies bushes
I don't believe in the storks either
They're all in the zoo
Busy with their own babies
And what's a baby bush anyway?
My name is Barbra...

BARBRA STREISAND
MY PA

(M.Leonard & H.Martin)

My Pa can light my room at night
By just his being near
And make a fear for dream all right
By grinning ear to ear
My Pa can do most anything
He sets his mind to do
He'd even move a mountain
If he really wanted to
My Pa can sweeten up a day
That clouds and rain make gray
And tell me funny stories
That will chase the clouds away
My Pa's the only one on Earth
I can tell my troubles to
His arms are house and home to me
His face's a pretty poem to me
My Pa's the finest friend I ever knew
I only wish that you
Could know him too...

NEVER WILL I MERRY

(Frank Loesser)

Never, never will I marry,
Never, never will I wed.
Born to wander solitary,
Wide my world, narrow my bed.
Never, never, never will I marry,
Born to wander 'til I'm dead.
No burdens to bear, no conscience nor care,
No mem'ries to mourn, no turning on,
For I was born to wander solitary,
Wide my world, oh, narrow my bed
Never, never, never, never will I marry,
Born to wander till I'm dead.

BARBRA STREISAND
NO MORE SONGS FOR ME

(R.Maltby,Jr & D.Shire)

No more soft tears blindly shed
No more soft words blithely said
No more the soft hope in time we'd wed
No more songs for me
Love was life though my heart pled
Love was fooled and my heart fed
Love was my water, my fire, my bread
No more songs for me
No more strong arms, warmly spread
No more strong wine, warm and red
No more the strong one
Who warmed my bed
No more songs for me
No more songs for me.

BARBRA STREISAND
NOBODY MAKES A PASS AT ME

I want men that I can squeeze, that I can please, that I can tease
Two or three or four or more!
What are those fools waiting for?
I want love and I want kissing I want more of what I'm missing

Nobody comes knocking at my front door
What do they think my knocker's for?
If they don't come soon there won't be any more!
What can the matter be?

I wash my clothes with Lux, my etiquette's the best,
I spend my hard earned bucks on just what the ads suggest
Oh Dear what can the matter be
Nobody makes a pass at me!

I'm full of Kellogg's bran, eat grapenuts on the sly,
A date is on the can of coffee that I buy
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me!

Oh Beatrice Fair fax, give me the bare facts,
How do you make them fall?
If you don't save me, the things the Lord gave me
never will be any use to me at all.

I sprinkle on a dash of Fragrance de Amour,
The ads say Makes Men Rash but I guess their smell is pour
Oh dear what can the matter be
Nobody makes a pass at me.

I use Ovaltine and Listerine, Barbasol and Musterole
Life Buoy soap and Flit, So why ain't I got it?

I use Coca Cola and Marmola, Crisco, Lesco and Mazola,
Ex lax and Vapex, So why ain't I got sex?

I use Albolene and Maybellene, Alka Seltzer, Bromo Seltzer,
Odorono and Sensation
So why ain't I got fascination?

My Girdles come from the Best, Times ads say they're chick
And up above I'm dressed in the brassier of the week
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me!

I use Pond's on my skin, with rye crisp I have thinned
I get my culture in I began Gone with The Wind
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me!

Oh Dor'thy Dix, please, show me some tricks,
please, I want some men to hold
I want attention and things I can't mention
and I want them all before I get too old

I use Mum ev'ry day and Angelus Liplure,
But still men stay away just like Iv'ry soap I'm pure
Just like I result of 99 and 44
One hundred percent P.O.
Oh dear what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me

NON C'EST RIEN

(M.Jourdan, A.Canfora & J.Baselli)

Non, c'est rien
Aussi peu, croyez le bien
Ca ira mieux des demain
Avec le temps qui passe
Dans la vie tout s'efface
Non, c'est rien
A qui bon tendre vos mains
Je n'ai pas tant de chagrin
C'est vous qui etes tristes
Mes amis, partez vite
Laissez moi cette nuit
Sortez, mais sans moi
Allez boire a ma sante
Rapportez votre pitie
Vous me faites rire, bien rire...
Non, c'est rien
Aussi peu croyez le bien
Cet amour n'etait plus rien
D'autre qu'une habitude
J'en ai la certitude
Non, c'est rien
Ce garcon, moi j'ai le plains
Ne croyez pas que demain
Une seule seconde
Je serai seule au monde
Laissez, laissez moi cette nuit
Sortez mais sans moi
Allez boire a mes amours
A tous mes futurs amours
Mes prochains je t'aime...Je t'aime...
Laissez moi et ne croyez pas surtout pas
Que je vais pleurer pour ca
Suel mon coeur n'y comprend rien
Mais a part ca rien, rien
Non c'est rien, aussi peu croyez le bien
Je n'ai pas tant de chagrin
Je n'ai pas tant de chagrin
Non c'est rien...Non c'est rien
Rien!

NOT CRICKET TO PICKET

It's not cricket to picket not cricket
Oh, no it's just not coming for to picket
You haven't any right you know
You're acting in great haste
Just think of the predicament
In which your boss is placed
And entre nous I think
It's an exceedingly bad taste
Not cricket to picket not cricket
It's not cricket to picket not cricket
Atrocious and gauche you know to picket
Go home and starve like gentlemen
Not like a noisy brood
Real ladies never make a fuss
Though they like clothes and food
And money's never talked about
For that would be quite rude
Not cricket to picket not cricket
It's not picket to cricket not picket
Uncultured and unmannerly to picket
You know you're misbehaving now
You mustn't lose your mind
You're being so inelegant
And frankly quite unkind
Excuse my indiscretion
But you're older than refined
Not picket to cricket not picket
It ain't ticket to stick it not picket
Now offer some
Get each man there a cricket
Oh, dear, where is your decency
No Vanderbilts or Asters
Would ask in such a vulgar way
Be fitting only dexters
I beg you get the hell away
You lousy bunch of...
What do you mean disturbing the peace?
Come with you often
Oh, you see, you're brushing my mink
Get your hands off, kid!
You don't seem to know who I am
Or whom I know
Listen, I'm an intimate friend of Jimmy Walker
You won't get me in the...

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
The angels' voices singing
Proclaim the early morning!
And children pure and happy
A wait the break of dawn
While charity stands watching
And faithfuls wipe the door
The dark night wakes the glory bricks
And Christmas comes once more

BARBRA STREISAND
ONCE UPON A SUMMERTIME

(J.Mercer, E.Marnay, M.Legrand & E.Barclay)

Once upon a summertime if you recall
We stopped beside then in a flower stall
A bunch of bright forget me nots
Was all I let you buy me
Once upon a summertime just like today
We laughed the happy afternoon away
And stole a kiss in every street cafe
You were sweeter than the blossom on the tree
I was as proud as any girl could be
As if the major had offered me the key, the key to Paris
Now another wintertime has come and gone
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
But I remember when the vespers chime
You loved me once upon a summertime
Tous les lilas, tous les lilas de mai
N'en finiront, n'en finiront jamais
De faire la fete du coeur
Des jeunes qui s'aiment
S'aiment, s'aiment
Now another wintertime has come and gone
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
But I remember when the vespers chime
You loved me once upon a summertime...

ONE BIG UNION FOR TWO

HE:
I've decided the only way I can woo
Is to take a hint from the AFFL and The CIO
SHE:
Now you're talking, perhaps I might listen to you
I don't say that I'll yes,
But don't say I'll say no
HE:
Then it's not too late to negotiate
SHE:
Oh, well, we'll see
BOTH:
Perhaps we can agree
HE:
I'm on a campaign to make you mine
I'll picket you until you sign
In one big union for two
No courts and junction can make me stop
Until your love is all closed shop
In one big union for two
Seven days a week I want the right
To call you mine both day and night
The hours may be long
But fifty million union members can't be wrong
SHE:
When we have joined up perhaps there'll be
A new recruit or two or three
For that's what team work can do
BOTH:
In one big union for two
SHE:
We won't have sit downs inside our gate
We'll never need to arbitrate
In one big union for two
HE:
We will have no lock outs to make us frown
No stabbing when I'm out of town
In one big union for two
SHE:
Will you pay your dues,
They're very light
A kiss each day
And a kiss each night
Our life will be a song
For..
BOTH:
Fifty million union members can't be wrong
HE:
When we have signed up and made the grade
We'll let a member
SHE:
Union made
BOTH:
Who looks like me and like you
In one big union for two


What's to be done with 'em tell me in rhythm

Sing me a song with social significance
there's nothing else that will do
It must be tense with common sense
or I won't love you.

ONE KISS

(O. Hammerstein II & S. Romberg)

One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow and nothing more
To tell him I'm own
One magic night within his arms
With passion flower unfold
But I will try to love only one man
And no other man in the world...

PEOPLE (FROM BROADWAY MUSICAL)

(Music by Jule Styne. Lyrics by Bob Merril.)

People
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world,
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting our grown up pride
Hide all the need inside,
Acting more like children
Than children.
Lovers are very special people,
They're the luckiest people
In the world.
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half,
Now you're whole.
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person
Who needs people.
People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world!

With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half,
Now you're whole.
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person
Who needs people.

People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world!

QUIET NIGHT

(feat. From On Your Toes)



(R.Rodgers & L.Hart)

Quiet night
And all around the calm and boring weather;
Quiet night
no other sound, but hearts that beat together
You can almost hear the things I'm thinking;
You can almost see my heart take flight...
Whisper low but don't say No
It's such a quiet night!

BARBRA STREISAND
RIGHT AS THE RAIN

(E.Y. Harbung and H. Arlen)

Right as the rain
That falls from above
So real, so right is our love
It came like the spring
That breaks through the snow
I can't say what it may bring
I only know...I only know...
It's right to believe
Whatever gave your eyes this glow
Whatever gave my heart this song
Can't be wrong
It's right as the rain
That falls from above
And fills the world
With the blue of our love
As rain must fall
And day must dawn
This love...
This love...
Must go on.

SECOND HAND ROSE

(G.Clarke & J.F.Hanley)

Father has a business strictly second hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby grand
Stuff in our apartment came from father's store
Even clothes I'm wearing someone wore before
It's no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that ain't been used
I'm wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
That's why they call me
Second hand Rose
Even our piano in the parlor
Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second hand pearls
I'm wearing second hand curls
I never get a single think that's new
Even Jake, the plumber, he's a man I adore
He had the nerve to tell me he's been married before!
Everyone knows that I'm just
Second hand Rose
From second Avenue!
From Second Avenue!
Nu!

SING ME A SONG WITH SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE

I'm tired of moon songs of star and of June songs,
They simply make me nap
And ditties romantic drive me nearly frantic
I think they're all full of pap

History's making, nations are quaking
Why sing of stars above
For while we are waiting father time's creating
New things to be singing of

Sing me a song with social significance
All other tunes are taboo
I want a ditty with heat in it,
Appealing with feeling and meat in it!

Sing me a song with social significance
Or you can sing 'til you're blue
Let meaning shine from ev'ry line
Or I won't love you

Sing me of wars and sing me of breadlines
Tell me of front page news
Sing me of strikes and last minute headlines
Dress your observation in syncopation!

Sing me a song with social significance
There's nothing else that will do
It must get hot with what is what
Or I won't love you.

I want a song that's satirical
And putting the mere into miracle
It must be packed with social fact
or I won't love you

Sing me of kings and conf'rences martial
Tell me of mills and mines
Sing me of courts that aren't impartial
What's to be done with 'em tell me in rhythm

Sing me a song with social significance
there's nothing else that will do
It must be tense with common sense
or I won't love you.

SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME

(I.Gershwin & G.Gershwin)

Looking everywhere haven't found him yet
He's the big affair, I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret...
There's a somebody I'm longing to see,
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key,
Hmm...

Won't you tell him, please,
Please, put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me...

SOON IT'S GONNA RAIN

(H.Schmidt & T.Jones)

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

SPEAK TO ME OF LOVE

(B.Sievier & J.Lenoir)

Speak to me of love
And say what I'm longing to hear
Tender words of love
Repeat them again
I implore you speak to me of love
Whisper these words to me, dear
I adore you,
I want to hear, to hear those words that are so dear,
I want to hear you say I love you
By all the little stars above you
Your voice is like a fun caress
It thrills me till I must confess
I long to hear the voice that brings me
Such thrilling love and happiness
Parle moi d'amour
Redites moi ces mots supremes
Je vous aime...

Take my hand

Starting love

Now take my hand

STATUS QUO

Are you ready to hear your lesson for the day?
Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
Are you ready to learn what History has to say?
Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
Then take your books and follow me to 1776 AD
And as the History page is turned we will see what we can learn
Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!

In 1776 Tom Paine was writing books with a might and main
The Tory said now man alive
Stop giving out with this here liberty jive
Stop giving out with this here liberty jive

Don't sing of people's rights that way
They might believe in what you say
So stop your song it's not polite
Pipe down before you start a fight

You don't say, Teacher, is that right?

Aha, but Tom Paine looked ahead
And to those Tories Thomas said no, no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying Whoa
And sitting on your status quo

Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!

To Washington at Valley Forge
A wise guy whispered slow down, George
Why start up trouble for the king
This freedom racket is a corny thing

This freedom racket is a corny thing

Your troops are ickys they can't move
You'll never get them in the groove
So if you're wise, you'll just lay low
and play with the guys that have the dough

You don't say Teacher, is that so?

Aha, but George just looked ahead
And to that Tory Georgie said...No...no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying whoa
And sitting on your status quo

Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!

Now Paul Revere saw a bellfry light
and that boy rode to town one night
Sang to the farmers near and far
Here come the British beating eight to the bar

One slippery tory said now Paul
You're manners aren't nice at all
Turn back, don't be an old hep cat
The right people don't sing like that

ButPaul Revere turn him down flat
Aha, that's right, he rode ahead
and to that Tory Paul just said, no, no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying whoa
And sitting on your status quo

Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher
So, students now you're hep, don't stop!
Keep stepping to that freedom hop
Although the tory's beef and blow
To keep you sitting on your status quo

To keep you sitting on your status quo

When they say let's stand still a bit
Give up some rights, no harm in it
Remember those are just the tricks
That did not work in 76

Now ain't that right, the same old tricks?

Though Torys talk: don't be misled
And do what all those others said

No, no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying whoa
And sitting on your status ...
Sitting on, yes, sittin' on your, status...

quo!

STOUT HEARTED MEN

(O.Hammerstein II & S.Romberg)

You have dreams, if you act
They will come true
To turn your dreams to a fact,
It' s up to you!
If you have the soul and the spirit
Never fear it, you'll see it through
Hearts can inspire other hearts, with their fire
For the strong obey
When a strong man shows them the way
Give me some men
Who are stout hearted men
Who will fight for the right they adore
Start me with ten,
Who are stout hearted men
And I'll soon give you ten thousand more

Shoulder to shoulder
And bolder and bolder
They grow as they go to the fore!

Then there's nothing in the world
Can halt or mar a plan
When stout hearted men
Can stick together man to man
When stout hearted men
Can stick together man to man...

'Cause that man of mine
Ain't coming home no more
Oh, supper time
Kids will soon be yelling
For this supper time
While I keep from telling
That that man of mine
Ain't coming home no more
While I keep explaining
When they ask me where he's gone
While I keep from crying
When I bring the supper on
How can I remind them
To pray at their humble board
How can I be thankful
When they start to thank the Lord,
Oh, Lord!
Supper time,
I should set the table
'Cause it's supper time
Somehow I'm not able
'Cause that man of mine
Ain't coming home no more
Ain't coming home no more...

SWEET ZOO

(J.Harris)

I dreamed last night that I was a tiger in the jungle
But I was a big bad tiger, for a lion killed me
And then I was an elephant, a great big elephant
There wasn't anything I couldn't do
Till they caught and they brought me to a zoo
So I dreamed I was an alligator
Crocodile?
No, alligator!
With a great big mouth
And four very funny little legs
Which are no good for dancing
So, then I was a dancing bear
And I was doing my dancing where the bears dance
But I was sneezing,
'Cause I was a dancing polar bear
And it was freezing
Then I dreamed I was a giraffe
I looked so ridiculous I wanted to laugh
But giraffes can't talk,
So how can they laugh?
Then I woke up
And I was not a tiger,
Or and elephant,
I was not an alligator.
Crocodile?
No, alligator!
I was not a dancing bear or a tall giraffe
I was only me...And that's the way I'll be!
Oh, that's the way I'll be
I enjoy being an oyster!

TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE

(V. Duke, J Latouche and T. Fetter)

Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I come again
I'm gonna make things hum again
Acting dumb again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your feet good bye
On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

THE BEST GIFT

The best gift
That I ever got
Didn't really weigh a lot
It didn't have a ribbon 'round
And it sometimes made the terrible sound
The best of all it seems to me
It wasn't neath the Christmas tree
And yet, I guess I'd have to say
That it made all the other presents twice as gay
The best gift that I've ever known
I'd always wanted most to own
Yet in my dreams of sugar and spice
I never thought it could be so nice
The best gift that I ever get
Was sometimes dry and sometimes wet
Was usually pink but oftentimes red
As it lay so innocently in its bed
The best gift of the year to me
The one I hold most dear to me
A gift that simply drove me wild
Was a tiny new born child...

THE BOY NEXT DOOR

(H.Martin & R.Blane)

The moment I saw him smile
I knew he was just my style
My only regret is we've never met
For I dream of him all the while
But he doesn't know I exist
No matter how I may persist
So it's clear to see
There's no hope for me
Though I Iive at 5135, Kinsington Avenue
And he lives at 5133...
How can I ignore the boy next door
I love him more than I can say
Doesn't try to please me
Doesn't even tease me
And he never seize me glance his way
And though I'm heart soured
The little boy next door
Affection for me won't display
I just adore
So I can't ignore him
The boy next door...

THE CHRISTMAS SONG (CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE)

(Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you...)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
We'll find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toy and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to 92
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toy and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to 92
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you...

THE KIND OF MAN A WOMAN NEEDS

(M. Leonard & H. Martin)

Handsome, no, my man ain't handsome
But there's a trace of a wondrous grace
In his weary face
Life has done its best to break him
But his strength and courage
Make him just the kind of man a woman needs
Tender, he ain't always tender
But in his eyes something warm and wise
Lifts me to the skies
If his heart ain't always showing
It's a comfort just to know him
He' s the kind of man a woman needs
Sometimes he'll grow angry
At some foolish thing I do
Than he'll forgive to spare me pain
Times he'll know I'm troubled
So he'll laugh to cheer me through
Till my heart is light
As Summer rain...
Hmm hmm...
Youthful,
No, my man ain't youthful
That time's gone by
But his head is high
And his dreams won't die
Though he's had his share of sorrow
He looks forward to tomorrow
He's the kind of man a woman needs
He's the kind of man a woman needs...

THE MINUTE WALTZ

(O'Kun)

I have got a minute, just a little minute,
I have only got a minute, just minute,
I have only got a minute that is all the time
I have to sing this tiny minute waltz
It isn't easy but I'll try it
Than I gotta say goodbye
But first I take a minute
And put in it every note that Chopin wrote
and I shall sing the little minute waltz
And hope that I can sing with no faults
and though it's difficult
I'll give it every gust of air I got within in my body
Hope that my performance will be very shiny
Singing every note will not do wonders for my throat
I probably will end up hoarse
Of course I will have done it
And a will for that I made
That what I want is not the money
but the satisfaction that I get
from winning money on this silly kind of bet
Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention
Chopin isn't here to make an intervention
So with your permission and no intermission
I will sing each note that that composer wrote
as you can hear my trilling isn't very thrilling
but no one can say I wasn't very willing
to attempt a thing that's not been done
and just for fun to sing the minute waltz
As I sing the seconds fly, oh too soon the minute waltzes by
And now I ask you where am I halfway through the tune
and I'm falling far behind
I have less than 30 seconds
less than 30 seconds
less than 30
less than half a minute
I have less than 30 seconds
I have less than half a minute
to complete this little minute waltz
And every note that's its score
While the sands of time I know are pouring
Let me win my bet and I'll run with the money
Down to some drug store whare I will buy a honey
Or a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf to show the world I've won
Oh the second hand is rushing round the dial
And though I'd like to end this torture with a smile
Unless someone knows how to stop the clock
you gonna see me cry before I said goodbye
Eight little measures to complete this song
But I'm afraid my little lungs will burst before to long if
Only I can last the scale
I won't have failed to sing the minute waltz!

THE NEARNESS OF YOU

(N.Washington & H.Carmichael)

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
Isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation,
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

When I'm in your arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE

(feat. Love Theme From The Sandpiper )



(P.F.Webster & J.Mandel)

The shadow of your smile
When you have gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn

Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me

Our wistful little star was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I

Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Hmm, hmm...

WHAT NOW MY LOVE

(C.Sibman, P.Delanoe & G. Becaud)

Et maintenant
Que vais je faire?
De tout ce temps
Que sera ma vie
De tous ces gens
Qui m'indifferent
Et maintenant
Que tu es parti
Toutes ces nuits
Pourquoi?
Pour qui?
Et ce matin qui revient pour rien
Mon coeur qui bat
Pourquoi?
Pour qui?
Qui bat trop fort, trop fort...
What now my love, now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars, tumbling around me
And there's the sky, where the sea should be
What now my love, now that you're gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live if I should live or die
Je n'ai vraiment
Plus rien a faire
Je n'ai vraiment plus rien!

WHEN IN ROME (I DO AS THE ROMANS DO)

(C.Leigh & C.Coleman)

When on foreign shores I am
Very truly yours I am
But if inclined to play I am
Sweetheart, that's the way I am....
When in Spain for reasons I don't explain
I remain enjoying a brew
Don't deplore my fondness for fundador
You know how a fundador can lead to a few
And baby when in Rome I do as the Romans do
If per chance I'm saying farewell to France
And romance drops in from the blue
Cherchez l'amour I beg of you please endure
My taking a brief detour with somebody new
It's just that when in Rome
I do as the Romans do
And though from Italy I lied to you prettily
Oh don't think of me bitterly
But know that I'm true
Except now and then in Rome,
I get that old yearn in Rome
And naturally when in Rome
I do as the Romans do
E molto difficile resistere agli uomini di Italia
Per esempio, per esempio i biondi,
I biondi di Firenze, di Venezia
E i bruni di Palermo, di Milano...
You know what I mean?
If I write happily
Best wishes from Napoli
Don't cable me snappily
To tell me we're through
'Cause I'm once again in Rome
In somebody's den in Rome
Well honey, but when in Rome
I do as the Romans do
So just disregard the signs and the omens
When in Rome I do as the Romans do...
Veni, vidi, vince!

WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE

(J.Segal & M.Fisher)

When sunny gets blue,
Her eyes get grey and cloudy,
Then the rain begins to fall.
Pitter, patter,
Pitter patter,
Love has gone, what can matter?
No sweet lover man comes to call.
When sunny gets blue
She breathes a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the trees
Wind that sets the leaves to swaying
Like some violins are playing
Weird and haunting melodies
People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile
That's how she got a name
Since that sad affair
She lost her smile, changed her style
Somehow she's not the same
Memories will fade
And pretty dreams will rise
Up where her other dreams fell through
Hurry new love, hurry dear
To kiss away each lonely tear
And hold me near
'Cause sunny is blue...

BARBRA STREISAND
WHEN THE SUN COMES OUT

(T. Koehler and H. Arlen)

When the sun comes out
And the rain stops beating
On my window pane
When the sun comes out
There'll be blue birds 'round my door
Singing like they did before
That old storm broke out
And my man walked off
Left me in the rain
Though he's gone I doubt
If he'll stay away for good
I'd stop living if he should
Love is funny,
It's not always peaches, cream and honey
Just when everything seemed bright and sunny
Suddenly the cyclone came
I'll never be the same
'Til that sun comes out
And the rain stops beating on my window pane
If my heart holds out
Let it rain, let it pour
It may not be long before
There's a knocking at my door
Then you'll know the one I love walked in
When the sun comes out...
And the rain stops beating on my window pane
If my heart holds out
Let it rain, let it pour
It may not belong before
There's a knocking at my door
Then you'll know the one I love walked in
When the sun comes out...

WHERE OR WHEN

(L. Hart & R. Rodgers)

Sometimes you think you've lived before
All that you live to day
Things you do come back to you
As if they knew the way
Oh the tricks your mind can play
It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the close, you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when

WHERE'S THAT RAINBOW

(L.Harline & N.Washington)

Troubles really are bubbles they say
And I'm bubbling over today
Spring brings roses to people you see
But it brings hay fever to me
My luck will vary surely
That's purely a curse
My luck has changed,
Yes, it's gotten from rotten to worse

Where's that rainbow they hear about?
Where's that lining they cheer about?
Where's that love nest,
Where love is king ever after?

Where's that blue room they sing about?
Where's that sunshine they fling about?
I know morning will come,
But pardon my laugher!

In each scenario
You can depend on the end
Where the lovers agree.
Where's that Lothario?
Where does he roam, with his dome
Vaselined as can be?

Oh, it is easy to see all right
Ev'rything's gonna be all right
Be just dandy for ev'rybody but me.

WHITE CHRISTMAS

The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm tree sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty fourth
And I am longing to be up North
I'm dreaming of White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen to hear sleighbells in the snow
For I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
And may all your Christmases be white...

WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF

(A.Ronell & F.Chuchil)

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, but 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!
[Laughing]
One and two were scared to death
Of the big bad wolfy's breath
All 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 Jiminy
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 is 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, big, big
Bad woooooooooooooooooooolf!

WOMAN IN LOVE

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning goodbye
Down inside, you know we never know why
The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do

With you eternally mine
In love there is no measure of time
We planned it all at the start
You and I live in each other's heart
We may be oceans away
You'll feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do

I am a woman in love
And I'm talking to you
You know I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right I defend
Over and over again

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again

YESTERDAYS

Yesterdays, Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days, Golden days
Days of mad romance and love

Truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
For sun was mine
Sad am I, glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Yesterdays
Then gay youth was mine
The truth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
