That Was A Big Fat Lie Composer(s): Jule Styne - Sammy Cahn Performer(s): Doris Day; Keely Smith
I kind of believed you when you said your nights were lonely Until the day that I came by But when you whispered that I was your one & only That was a big fat lie
I should have been wiser than I was And seen right through you But the moon got in my eye That stuff about I never lived until I knew you That was a big fat lie
You must have started to fib when you were wearing a bib And such a habits hard to break A little lie is okay But when you lie night & day That's more than even I can take You told me we oughta marry And I let you sway me Kissed my happy days goodbye And when you told that man you'd honor & obey me That, baby, was a big fat lie
Let's face it you're no George Washington An over exaggeration of a super prevarication Just a big fat lie
If Ever You're In My Arms Again Composer(s): Michael Masser; Tom Snow; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): Peabo Bryson and multiple other artists
It all came so easy All the loving you gave me The feelings we shared And I still can remember How you touched me so tender It told me you cared We had a once in a lifetime But I just couldn't see Until it was gone A second once in a life time May be too much to ask but I swear from now on
If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll love you much better If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll hold you forever This time will never end
Now I'm seeing clearly How I still need you near me I still love you so There's something between us That won't ever leave us There's no letting go
We had a once in a lifetime But I just didn't know it Till my life fell apart A second once in a life time Isn't too much to ask cause I swear from the heart
If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll love you much better If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll hold you forever This time will never end
Never end
Climax: The best of romances Deserves second chances I'll get to you somehow 'Cause I promise now
If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll love you much better If ever you're in my arms again This time I'll hold you forever This time will never end
Keep The Ball Rollin' Composer(s): Sandy Linzer; Denny Randel Performer(s): Jay & The Techniques; Baby Talk; Al Hirt
Keep the ball rollin' Keep the ball rollin' Girl, the name of the game is love On your mark get set Let the kissin' start And just a-keep the ball rollin' Baby right into my heart
How can you ask me to try And get by with just one little kiss The kissin' you do I need a second helpin' too When you light the fire in my heart And every part of me is burning You've got to put your lips closer to mine, girl You got to follow it through (You got to follow it through) (You got to follow it through)
Keep the ball rollin' Keep the ball rollin' Girl, the name of the game is love On your mark get set Let the kissin' start And just a-keep the ball rollin' Baby right into my heart
Half of a loaf isn't better than none When I'm starvin' for you Don't hold me tight if every night we stop at two If you want me there when you call Then girl, it's all or nothing Next time you do You got to put your lips closer to mine Girl you got to follow it through (You got to follow it through) (You got to follow it through)
And just keep the ball rollin' baby Keep the ball rollin' Girl, the name of the game is love On your mark get set Let the kissin' start And just a-keep the ball rollin' Baby right into my heart
I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me so
I feel like Christopher Columbus when I'm near enough to contemplate
The sweet geography descending from your eyebrow to your toe
The possibilities are more than I can possibly enumerate
That's why you fascinate me so
So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me
But oh my darling you forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powderkeg that's just about to blow
Will the end result deflate me, or will you annihilate me
You fascinate me so
So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me
But oh my darling you forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powderkeg that's just about to blow
Will the end result deflate me, or will you annihilate me
You aggravate me
You irritate me
You fascinate me so
If Ever I Would Leave You Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe Performer(s): Robert Goulet and multiple other artists
If ever I would leave you It wouldn't be in summer Seeing you in summer I never would go Your hair streaked with sunlight Your lips red as flame Your face with a lustre That puts gold to shame!
But if I'd ever leave you It couldn't be in autumn How I'd leave in autumn I never will know I've seen how you sparkle When fall nips the air I know you in autumn And I must be there
And could I leave you Running merrily through the snow? Or on a wintry evening When you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you How could it be in springtime? Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so? Oh, no! not in springtime! Summer, winter or fall! No, never could I leave you at all!
Keep The Customer Satisfied Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel; Liz Larsen; Gary Puckett; Buddy Rich
Gee but it's great to be back home Home is where I want to be. I've been on the road so long my friend And if you came along I know you couldn't disagree
Chorus: It's the same old story Everywhere I go I get slandered Libelled I hear words I never heard In the Bible And I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine Two steps away from the county line Just trying to keep my customers satisfied Satisfied.
Deputy Sheriff said to me Tell me what you come here for, boy You better get your bags and flee You're in trouble boy, And you're heading into more
If Ever A Heart Was In The Right Place Composer(s): Harry M. Woods Performer(s): Henry Hall
If ever a heart was in the right place, it's yours If I need a hand in any tight place, it's yours If I were lost out in the ocean I know that somewhere in that ocean You and your devotion Would be the life preserver for me
If ever a smile was any sweeter, it's yours If ever a love made life completer, it's yours For when I hold you close to me It's then I know most of all If ever a heart was in the right place, it's yours

If All The World Were Paper Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina Performer(s): Shirley Temple
I can't show how much I love you In this little face I've got I don't know how much I love you But it's an enormous lot
If all the world were paper And all the seas were ink I'd write a great big note to you And tell you what I think I'd say "I love you dearly" In letters three miles high And sign it "Yours sincerely" Cross my heart and hope to die
If all the stars were diamonds In golden skies above They wouldn't be worth that Without your love I'd like to write "I love you" So big that you would blink If all the world were paper Yes, and all the seas were ink
Keep The Home Fires Burning Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Lena Guilbert Performer(s): John McCormack; and various other artists
They were summoned from the hillside they were called in from the glen And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men Let no tears add to their hardships as the soldiers pass along And although your heart is breaking make it sing this cheery song
Keep the Home Fires Burning While your hearts are yearning Though your lads are far away they dream of home There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining Turn the dark cloud inside out, 'til the boys come home
Overseas there came a pleading "Help a nation in distress" And we gave our glorious laddies, honor bade us do no less For no gallant son of freedom to a tyrant's yoke should bend And a noble heart must answer to the sacred call of "Friend"
Keep the Home Fires Burning While your hearts are yearning Though your lads are far away they dream of home There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining Turn the dark cloud inside out 'til the boys come home
Nights Are Longer Composer(s): Tommy Deering Performer(s): The Four Freshmen
Nights are longer since you went away I'll grow stronger each passing day A season turned, a lesson learned, someday I shall be wise I'll remember just how heartbreak feels When I gaze in someone's eyes
I'll be lonesome, but I'll show no grief They say heartbreak soon finds relief And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be Since you went away from me
And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be Since you went away from me
If A Man Answers Composer(s): Bobby Darin Performer(s): Bobby Darin
If a Man Answers your phone when I call Oh, there's gonna be some screamin' that ain't all 'Cause if I'm here callin' you Then who's the who I'm talkin' to? Why any fool could see That for sure it ain't me If a Man Answers your phone then honey we're through!
Now everything between us used to be fine Till I became a third party When there ain't no party line You-hear-me-talkin'
Gonna hang this phone up now and dial again Oh and their better be a soprano on the other end 'Cause if the voice is baritone When you told me you'd be home alone Well,then I'm wastin' my time Not to mention my dime So, If a Man Answers your phone then honey I'm gone!
