That Ole Devil Called Love
Composer(s): Alan Roberts - Doris Fisher
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
and multiple other artists



Someone's whisp'rin' in my ear, I say
no, no, go away, but he don't hear
he follows me around, builds me up, tears me down 
I try my best to shake him but he just hangs around 

It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again 
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly son of a gun again
He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that rain, still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart

Suppose I didn't stay, ran away, wouldn't play
That devil what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
'til I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that siren song, I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love

He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
'til I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that siren song, I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love

Mysterious People
Composer(s): Adolphson; Shaper
Performer(s): Val Doonican



Children are people who live in a land
Made of raindrops and puddles and pebbles and streams
Silently watching a twig as it sails
On a clear crystal pool to an island of dreams

There go a pair who have just built a city of mud
And it's real
They know that mud doesn't look very pretty
But oh, how it feels

This little boy greets the snow with a smile
That little girl has discovered an isle made out of pillows
One little fellow is friends with the wind in the willows
All of them children and all are mysterious people

I can remember when I was a boy
That my bed was a ship that I sailed through the night
And I remember the world as a place
That was eager and loving and shiny and bright

Where is the boy who was friends with the rainbow
And once rode upon
Where is that shy and mysterious person
Oh, where have I gone

I can remember I once said my prayers
But now I stand by while my children say theirs
Watching them kneeling
And I could cry that one day they'll forget
All that they're feeling
Oh, what a shame that our children should grow into people

Guide For The Married Man
Composer(s): John Williams; Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): The Turtles



What we need in the world today
Is a guide for the married man
Some simple thing that in every way
Would provide for the harried man
Help him not to worry
Assist him to relax
Help him slow his heart rate
And spare him cardiacs

Such a guide would in many ways
Turn the tide for the married man
Enable husbands to fill their days
As only the married can
Every man would praise it
It's such a splendid plan
Someday soon we shall point with pride
To the guide for the married man

By the side of the married man
'Tis the lady who shares his life
You help the bride of the married man
By removing the husband's strife
Every wife who's truthful
Who treasures married bliss
Must keep her husband youthful
What better way than this?

Each and every device we know
Must be tried for the married man
But who can question the debt he'll owe
To the guide for the married man
List things universal
From Pittsburgh to Japan
Every man can be satisfied
By the guide for the married man

That Old Wheel  
Composer(s): Jennifer Pierce
Performer(s): Johnny Cash & Hank Williams



That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again

When love is gone and the one you thought would stay
Does you wrong, and you’re left alone to pay
The price is high
But somehow you’ll survive, don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again

That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again

There’ll be times, hard to control
And you’ll find you’ll hurt down in your soul
There’ll be those who’ll be glad to see you down
But don’t give in, that old wheel will roll around again

That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again

That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again

Roll around, around, again, again

My Young And Troubled Days (aka Pretty Shitty Days)
French Title: Mes Emmerdes
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Those were the days, hungry days, needing more, having less
I learned the game, wanting fame, and success
I left behind, as I climbed, as I raced against time
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days

Those early years, selfish years, full of me, full of schemes
A foolish mind, running blind, chasing dreams
The bridges burned, bridges crossed, were the way that I lost
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days

Crazy times I shared with all my pals
Burning love I made with all my gals
And the troubled days I now recall
Never could have been really so heavy at all

We shared the rough, and the tough, and the bills never paid
The give-and-take, each mistake, that we made
We had the drive, to survive, feeling great and alive
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days

I'm not ashamed of myself, did the best that I could
I've got my health, and my wealth, fate's been good
On the whole, life is bliss, but somehow I still miss
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days

All those careless days of fooling 'round
Weighing up the balance I have found
That the troubled days I now recall
Never could have been really so heavy at all

Those were the days, crazy days, crazy ways, gay parade
Times we crashed, getting smashed, getting laid
We had the steam, had a ball, had a dream, had it all
My pals, my gals, in those troubled, yet, wonderful days

Guess Who I Saw Today
Composer(s): Elisse Boyd; Murray Grand
Performer(s): June Carroll;
and various other artists



You're so late getting home from the office
Did you miss your train?
Were you caught in the rain?
No, don't bother to explain

Can I fix you a quick martini?
As a matter of fact I'll have one with you
For to tell you the truth
I've had quite a day too

Guess who I saw today, my dear?
I went in town to shop around for something new
And thought I'd stop and have a bite
When I was through

I looked around for someplace near
And it occurred to me where I had parked the car
There was a most attractive French cafe and bar
It really wasn't very far

The waiter showed me to a dark, secluded corner
And as my eyes became accustomed to the gloom
I saw two people at the bar who were so in love
That even I could spot it clear across the room

Guess who I saw today, my dear?
I've never been so shocked before
I headed blindly for the door
They didn't see me passing through
Guess who I saw today?
Guess who I saw today?
Guess who I saw today?
I saw you!

Sweet Adeline! (Sweet Adeline!) 

My Adeline! (My Adeline!) 

Gee, but I'd give the world to see

Goodbye forever old sweethearts and pals

Gee, but I'd give the world to see
That old old gang of mine.

(Gee, but I'd give the world to see
That old gang of mine)
I can't forget that old quartet
That sang Sweet Adeline.

Goodbye forever old fellows and gals
Goodbye forever old sweethearts and pals
God Bless them
Gee, but I'd give the world to see
That old old gang of mine...

My Young And Foolish Heart
Composer(s): Al Lewis; Charles Tobias; Ted Murray
Performer(s): Doris Day
and various other artists



My young and foolish heart
Makes me do the things I shouldn't
That nine times out of ten
I wouldn't do

My young and foolish heart
Never lets me use discretion
In my manner of expression
Every time I'm with you

So, if my arms enfold you
While I speak of love
Remember what I told you
Upon my soul, I can't control
The recklessness of...

My young and foolish heart
Can be choosey and selective
But you're the one objective
Of my young and foolish heart

So, if my arms enfold you
While I speak of love
Remember what I told you
Upon my soul, I can't control
The recklessness of...

My young and foolish heart
Can be choosey and selective
But you're the one objective
Of my young and foolish heart

Guess Who?
Composer(s): Jesse Belvin; JoAnne Belvin
Performer(s): Jesse Belvin



Someone really loves you 
Guess who 
Guess who 
S'open your heart
oh, then surely you'll see, 
oh, that someone who really cares is me 
Someone will wait eternally 
Someone who'll want your love
oh so desp'rately 
Open your heart
oh, the surely you'll see 
oh, that the someone who really cares
who really cares is me

That Old Feeling
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Sammy Fain
First performance by: Virginia Verrill - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists



I saw you last night and got that old feeling 
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling 
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill 
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still 

Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning 
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning 
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start 
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart 

There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start 
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart 

My Yiddishe Momme
Spanish Title: Mi Querida Mamá
Composer(s): Lew Pollack; Jack Yellen
Performer(s): Sophie Tucker
and various other artists



My yiddishe momme 

Of things I should be thankful for I've had a goodly share 
And as I sit here in the comfort of my cosy chair 
My fancy takes me to a humble eastside tenement 
three flights up in the rear to where my childhood days were spent 
It wasn't much like Paradise but 'mid the dirt and all 
There sat the sweetest angel, one that I fondly call 

My yiddishe momme I need her more then ever now 
My yiddishe momme I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow 
I long to hold her hands once more as in days gone by 
and ask her to forgive me for things I did that made her cry 
How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles 
Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles 
oh I know that I owe what I am today 
to that dear little lady so old and gray 
to that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine 

My yiddishe momme I need her more then ever now 
My yiddishe momme I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow 
I long to hold her hands once more as in days gone by 
and ask her to forgive me for things I did that made her cry 
How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles 
Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles 
oh I know that I owe what I am today 
to that dear little lady so old and gray 
to that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine

That Old Black Magic
((French Version: Ce Diable Noir (Eddy Mitchell))
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer
First recording by: Glenn Miller and His Orch. - 1942
Covered by multiple other artists



Old black magic has me in its spell
Old black magic that you weave so well 
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine
Same old tingle that I feel inside
Then the elevator starts it ride
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
Like a leaf caught in a tide
I should stay away but what can I do 
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Flame, flame of desire 
Only your kiss can put out the fire 
Oh you're the lover I have waiting for 
Your the mate that fate had me created for 
And everytime your lips meet mine
Down and down I go 
Round and round I go 
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in 
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin lovin' the spin I'm in 
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin lovin' the spin I'm in 
Under the old black magic called love
I should stay away but what can I do 
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Flame, flame of desire 
Only your kiss can put out the fire 
Oh you are the lover I have waited for
Your the mate that fate had me created for 
And everytime your lips meet mine
Down and down I go 
Round and round I go 
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in 
Under the old black magic called love

My World Is Slipping Away
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka; Howard Greenfield
Performer(s): Connie Francis



I tell myself our love will last
And yet I know it's just the past I'm clingin' to
I kiss the lips I know so well
One little kiss and I can tell you've been untrue
The more I try to reach your heart
The more it seems we drift apart, what can I do
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away

You find it hard to let me go
Because you think that I don't know the way you feel
I know you're tryin' to be kind
But yet it hurts me more to find you so unreal
One little look into your eyes
And I can see a thousand lies that you reveal
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away

The world we knew is almost gone
But I'll, I'll keep holdin' on

I know I'd wish you back again
If we could wander back to when you cared for me
The heartbreak that I'm feelin' now
Would change if you'd remember how it used to be
Please put the world back into place
Without your love I only face a memory
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away

Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
Now when that twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels

When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue, blue as the sky
Since love has gone, I can't get myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
I've got to get a new alibi
I hang around at home, and ask myself: "Where is she?"
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Moving on a stream of dreams
My little memories, those precious memories
Remind me of our crazy schemes

Then somebody says, just forget about her
But I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by - oh well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Ce Diable Noir
((Adapted from: That Old Black Magic (Glenn Miller and His Orch.) - 1942))
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



"Ce diable noir
Qui nous prend, nuit et jour
Ce diable noir
A été, fait pour
Faire naître en nous d’étranges sentiments
Et nous plier, à son envoûtement

Sa main glacée vient nous frôler la peau
Allume en nous, une flamme, bientôt
Ce feu roule, roule en nous
Brûle, brûle tout
Comme un enfer
Fait du ciel sur la terre

On voudrait le fuir
Et tout oublier
Il nous pourchasse
Et quoiqu’on fasse
Il reste en nous, ce brûlant désir
Que seul un baiser
Pourrait apaiser

Le corps rompu
Et les membres brisés
Le cœur perdu
Et l’âme intoxiquée
Lorsque nos lèvres s’unissent enfin
Un feu roule, roule en nous
Brûle, brûle tout
Et l’on comprend, dans ce rêve trop court
Que ce diable noir, s’appelle l’Amour"

My World Keeps Getting Smaller Every Day
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka; Victor Wood



Round and round I go in circles trying to be free
since you went away the world is closing in on me
Every day I face tomorrow knowing you'll be there
I see your face in every little thing we used to share
The memory of you is everywhere

And my world keeps getting smaller every day
I run but I can't run away
you're with me everywhere I go
And I find you're in my heart and in my mind
there's no place left on earth to stay
my world gets smaller every day

In the lonely of the morning when I'm waking up
I find you standing at the bottom of my coffee cup
I see you on the highway when I'm driving in the car
Downtown in the city I just turn and there you are
I run from you but never get too far

And my world keeps getting smaller every day
I run but I can't run away
you're with me everywhere I go
And I find you're in my heart and in my mind
there's no place left on earth to stay
my world gets smaller every day

And my world keeps getting smaller every day
I run but I can't run away
my world gets smaller every day

Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself
Composer(s): Pete Shelley
Performer(s): Pete Shelley



Right from the start
I played my part
In this show
What if today
Was yesterday?
Who would know?
Take your time don't worry
There's no need to hurry
Anything can happen given time

Out of the blue
It came to me
What to do
Funny to say
It was that way
Now it's you
Take your time don't worry
There's no need to hurry
Everything can happen given time

You look at me while I'm looking at you
There's nothing in this world that we two couldn't do
I speak of love in a passionate way
Love is emotion what more can I say?
The rate of change is a sign of the times
I have no need to read between the lines
I had no time for anyone else
Guess I must have been in love with myself

Everything's changed
Nothing's the same
As before
Thinking of you
Things that you do
Make me so sure

At the moment I feel like walking through the pouring rain
Once I get my head together nothing will ever be quite the same

You look at me while I'm looking at you
There's nothing in this world that we two couldn't do
I speak of love in a passionate way
Love is emotion what more can I say?
The rate of change is a sign of the times
I have no need to read between the lines
I had no time for anyone else
Guess I must have been in love with myself
Guess I must have been in love with myself
Guess I must have been in love with myself

Kiss me like you would your mother 
One good kiss deserves another 
That's the only music that was ever meant for me 
That tantalizin,' hypnotizin,' mesmerin' Mendelssohn tune

My World Is Empty Without You
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Originally performed by: The Supremes
Covered by various other artists



My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
And as I roam my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength, I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, baby

You've given me a true love
And every day I thank you, love
For the feeling that's so new
So exciting so inviting
Baby, baby, I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pushing me closer and closer to your heart
Then suddenly
Your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
Til I leave my past behind

My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
From this cold world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there ain't no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness, in memory I know so well
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you babe 
Without you babe...
