There oughta be a moonlight saving time,
So I could love that boy o' mine
'til the birdies wake and chime 'good morning'!
There oughta be a law in clover time
To keep that moon out overtime,
To keep each lover's lane in line till dawning
You'd better hutry up, hurry up
Hurry up, get busy today!
You'd better croon a tune, to the man up in the Moon
And here's what I'd say
There oughta be a moonlight saving time
So I could love that boy of mine
Until the birdies wake and chime 'good morning'

Ain't doin' bad doin' nothin',
Just sittin' round all day.
I'm tellin' you the less I do,
The more things come my way!
When I get up in the mornin',
Thinkin' of the day ahead
Makes me so downright weary,
I go on right back to bed!
Why should I ever worry?
It's such a losin' game!
Why should I move, when I can prove
I get there just the same?
Ain't doin' bad doin' nothin',
Somehow it seems to pay!
Ain't doin' bad doin' nothin',
Just sittin' round all day.

Frenesi

Long, long ago, I wandered down into old Mexico
There at a dance, I met first new romance!
Moon was shining bright,
And I could hear laughing voices in the night!
Everyone was gay, it was the start of a holiday!
It was fiesta down in Mexico,
And so I stopped a while to see the show!
I knew that frenesi meant "Please love me"
And I could say frenesi!
A handsome caballero caught my eye
I stood enchanted as he wandered by
And never knowing that it come from me
I gently sighed frenesi
He stopped and raised his eyes to mine
His lips just pleaded to be kissed
His eyes were soft as candle-shine
So how was I to resist?
And now without a heart to call my own
A greater happiness I've never known
Because his kisses are for me alone
Who wouldn't say frenesi?

The Nearness Of You
02:34
|
|||
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of yo
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms, and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me, the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night, the nearness of you

Quando Quando Quando
04:41

Tell me when will you be mine?
Tell me quando, quando, quando.
We can share a love divine,
Oh my darling tell me when.
When will you say yes to me?
Tell me quando, quando, quando.
You mean happiness to me
Please don't make me wait again.
Every moment's a day
Every day seems a lifetime!
Let me show you the way,
To a joy beyond compare!
I can't wait a moment more
Tell me quando, quando, quando
Say its me that you adore
And then darling tell me when!

There'll be a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea..
From now on there'll be in change in me!
My walk will be different, my talk, and my name.
Nothin' about me is going to be the same!
I'm goin' to change my way of livin',
If that ain't enough!
I'm gonna change the way I strut my stuff!
'Cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray..
There'll be some changes made today!
There'll be some changes made!

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me.
To be where little cable cars, climb halfway to the stars!
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care.
My love waits there, in San Francisco,
Above the blue and windy sea.
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me.

Waitin' for the train to come in,
Waitin' for my man to come home.
I've counted every minute of each live-long day
Been so melancholy since he went away!
I've shed a million teardrops or more,
Waitin' for the one I adore.
I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track
Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back!
I'm waitin' for my life to begin...
Waitin' for the train to come in.

I Get A Kick Out Of You
04:01

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true?
That I get a kick out of you!
Some get their kicks from cocaine..
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff,
That would bore me terrifically too!
But I get a kick out of you!
I get a kick every time I see you, standing there before me.
I get a kick, though it's clear to me, you obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick in a plane.
Flying so high with some guy in the sky,
Is my idea of nothing to do!
But I get a kick out of you!

I'm In The Mood For Love

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love?
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love
