Why Do I Love You?
Why Do I Love You?
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Edith Day;
and various other artists
I'm walking on the air, dear
For life is fair, dear, to lovers
I'm in the seventh heaven
(There's more than seven, my heart discovers)
In this sweet, improbable and unreal world
Finding you has given me my ideal world
Chorus:
Why do I love you? Why do you love me?
Why should there be two happy as we?
Can you see the why or wherefor
I should be the one you care for?
You're a lucky boy, I am lucky too
All our dreams of joy seem to come true
Maybe that's because you love me
Maybe that's why I love you!
Chorus

All My Tomorrows
All My Tomorrows
Composer(s): James Van Heusen - Sammy Cahn
First performance: Frank Sinatra - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Today I may not have a thing at all
Except for just a dream or two
But I've got lots of plans for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you
Right now it might not seem like Spring at all
We're drifting and the laughs are few
But I've got rainbows planned for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you
No-one knows better than I
That luck keeps passing me by
That's fate!
But with you there by my side
I'll soon be turning that tide
Just wait!
As long as I've got arms that cling at all
It's you that I'll be clinging to
And all the dreams I dream, be or borrow
On some bright tomorrow
They'll all come true
And all my bright tomorrows belong to you
As long as I've got arms that cling at all
It's you that I'll be clinging to
And all the dreams I dream, be or borrow
On some bright tomorrow
They'll all come true
And all my bright tomorrows belong to you

I'm A Lonely Little Petunia (In An Onion Patch)
I'm A Lonely Little Petunia (In An Onion Patch)
Composer(s): Maurie Hartmann; Billy Faber; Johnny Kamono
Of all the saddest words
That I have ever heard
The saddest is the story
Told me by a bird
He had spent about and hour
A Chatting with a flower
and here ís the tale the flower told
Ooooh, I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
an onion patch, an onion patch
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
and all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air ís so strong it takes my breath away
feee---you
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
oh won't you come and play with me
Who put me in this bed?
I'll bet his face is red
I call him down with every teardrop that I shed
If I only had him here
I'd take him by the ear
And make him share my misery
Ooooh, I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
an onion patch, an onion patch
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
and all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air ís so strong it takes my breath away
feee---you
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
oh won't you come and play with me
My nerves begin to crack
Each time I see a track
Made by a kitty with a
stripe right down his back
If he ever stopped by me
I think I'd rather be
A dead petunia, wouldn't you?
Ooooh he ís a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
an onion patch, an onion patch
He ís a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
And all he does is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air ís so strong it takes my breath away
Feee-you!
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
oh won't you come and play with me

Why Do Fools Fall In Love?

Herman Santiago; Frankie Lymon
Performer(s): Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers;
and various other artists
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah, ooh-wah
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, why do fools fall in love
Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love, why do they fall in love
Love is a losing game, love can be a shame
I know of a fool you see, for that fool is me
Tell my why, tell me why
Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love, why do they fall in love
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat
For I know I will reach defeat
Tell me why, tell my why
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat
For I know it will reach defeat
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why do they fall in love
Why...do fools...fall in love

Reindeer On My Roof
Reindeer On My Roof
Composer(s): Tom Paxton
Performer(s): Tom Paxton
I can't sleep when I'm straining to hear the reindeer on my roof
All night long I'm wide awake to hear, reindeer on my roof
What was that that? The wind? What was that? A bird?
I can't sleep 'cos I want to hear Santa Claus
I've just got to keep my eyes open
Last year I fell asleep and I never heard reindeer on my roof
Dasher and Dancer, Comet & Blitzen, reindeer on my roof
Last year as you came down the chimney
Daddy said there was proof
Proof that Santa Claus came, and there were reindeer on the roof
I'm in bed and in my head I'm turning upside down
I'm awake you see and must be the chumpiest git in town
I can hear people murmering through my bedroom door
Footsteps passing, someone laughing
What are they whispering for?
Last year Santa Claus ate all the cookies, left just a couple of crumbs
Sister asleep, I won't wake her when the magic moment comes
When our house is quiet, on the longest night of the year
I'll be be the only one waken up
And I know what I'll hear
I can't sleep when I'm straining to hear the reindeer on my roof
All night long I'm wide awake to hear reindeer on my roof
What was that that the wind? What was that? a bird?
I can't sleep 'cos I want to hear Santa Claus
I've just got to keep my eyes open
Last year I fell asleep and I never heard reindeer on my roof
Dasher and Dancer Comet & Blitzen, reindeer on my roof
Last year as you came down the chimney
Daddy said there was proof
Proof that Santa Claus came, and there were reindeer on the roof

Why Did I Choose You?
Why Did I Choose You?
Composer(s): M. Leonard; H. Martin
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Why did I choose you?
What did I see in you?
I saw the heart you hide so well
I saw a quiet man, who had a gentle way
a way that caught me in its glowing spell
Why did I want you?
What could you offer me ?
A love to last a life-time through?
And when I lost my heart so many years ago
I lost it lovingly and willingly to you
If I had to choose again, I would still choose you

All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight
Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.; Highliners; Trick Pony
I got ketchup on my blue jeans, I just burnt my hand
Lord, its hard to be a bachelor man
I got girls that can cook, I got girls that can clean
I got girls that can do anything in between
I got to get ready, make everything right
'Cause all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight
Do you want a drink
Hey do you want to party
Hey honey this is ole Hank
Ready to get the thing started
We cooked the pig in the ground, got some beer on ice
And all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight
Now my party pad is out in the woods
It's a long, long way from here to Hollywood
But I got some natural queens out on the floor
And ole Miss Mississippi just walked through the door
Got a little whirlpool just made for ten
And you can jump out and you can jump in
You can do anything that you want to do
But uh uhh, don't you step on my cowboy boots
Do you want to drink
Hey do you want to party
Hey this is ole Hank
Ready to get your summer started
I cooked a pig in the ground, we got some beer on ice
And all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight
Do you want to drink
Hey do you want to party
Hey hey this is rock'n Randall Hank
Ready to get the summer time started
We cooked the pig in the ground, we got some beer on ice
All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight
That's right
Come on in!

Why Can't You Bring Me Home
Why Can't You Bring Me Home
Composer(s): Wes Farrell; Joel Hirschhorn; Al Kasha
Performer(s): Jay & The Americans
Why do we always meet on the edge of town?
Why do we have to wait till the sun goes down?
Where do you live and why don't you even give me a place to go?
Chorus:
Come on baby, why can't you bring me
Baby baby, why can't you bring me
Come on baby, why can't you bring me home?
Baby baby, why can't you bring me home?
I'll ask around but nobody knows for sure
But they agree that your folks are mighty rude
Are you ashamed of the way you were raised
And that's why it stays unknown?
(chorus)
You may not wear such pretty clothes
But when you're in my arms, you love like a rose
What do I care if I see a broken chair?
Why do I need the best kind of silverware?
All that I need to make me complete is your tender love alone
(chorus)

All My Money Back
All My Money Back
Performer(s): The Blues Brothers
You kiss me and you hug me
And feild me for a drink
You took all my money before I can do anything
You're using me
I said you're using me
If you don't do something about that
I want all my money back
I bought you a new car
Buyin' pretty clothes
I said right now ya
Don't I know
You're using me
You're using me
If you don't do something about that
I want all my money back
You took all my money
You left me flat broke
You didn't leave me enough money
To buy a half a good coat
You're using me
If you don't do something about that
I want all my money back

And the promises that you gave

I was faithful and true but what good will it do
(Chorus)
And do, do just as you should?
(Dinah)
Yes you had the right touch but I was askin' too much
Won't you turn that new leaf over
So your baby can be your slave?
Oh, why can't you behave?
There's a farm I know near my old home town
Where we two can go and try settling down
There I'll care for you forever
'Cause you're all in this world I crave
Oh, why can't you behave?
Why can't you behave?

Se per te e' finita
Perche' mi cerchi
Che cosa pretendi da me
E il mio amor non c'e' piu'
Ma non e' colpa mia
Sei tu che hai voluto cosi'
Tutto cio che ti spinge
A fare la pace
E' solo l'orgoglio che hai
Non ti sai rassegnare
Che io pensi ad un'altra
Vuoi aver
Tutto il mondo per te
Non cercarmi
No non t'amo piu'
Oh non cercarmi
Non pensare a me
Se per te e' finita
Perche' mi cerchi
Che cosa pretendi da me
Se vorrai se vorrai
Tu sarai un'amica
Perche' e' finita con te
Oh non cercarmi
No non t'amo piu'
Oh no non cercarmi

Toi l'ami de nos vingt ans
Demain tu t'en iras
Avec un amour à ton bras
N'oublie pas pour autant les amis d'autrefois
Souviens-toi de nous parfois
Entre nous qui restons là
Souvent nous parlerons de toi
Et des joies du bon temps
Tu seras malgré toi près de nous
Car ton nom chante avec nos souvenirs d'enfants
Tout s'efface
Dès que vient l'amour
La vie passe
À chacun son tour
Tu es loin, bien loin déjà, aussi tout est changé
Nos cœurs sont trop lourds pour chanter
Il nous semble avec toi perdre un peu de la vie
Et c'est vrai car nos vingt ans s'enfuient
Tout s'efface
Dès que vient l'amour
La vie passe
À chacun son tour
Tout s'efface
Dès que vient l'amour
La vie passe
À chacun son tour

Why Can't The English?
Why Can't The English?
Dutch & Spanish Titles:
Is Hier Nu Niemand; Por Qué No Pueden?
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Rex Harrison;
and various other artists
Harrison:
Look at her, a victim of the gutters
Condemned by every syllable she utters
By right she should be taken out and hung
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue
(Meow!) Heavens, what a sound!
This is what the English population
Calls an elementary education
Bystander:
Come sir, I think you've picked a poor example
Harrison:
Did I?
Hear them down in Soho Square
Dropping "H's" everywhere
Speaking any way they like
You sir, did you go to school?
Bystander:
Whatta tyke me for, a fool?
Harrison:
No one taught him "take" instead of "tyke"
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse
Hear a Cornishman converse
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat
Just like this one
(Garn!)
I ask you sir, what sort of word is that?
It's Au and Garn that keep her in her place
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak
This verbal class distinction by now should be antique
If you spoke sir, instead of the way you do
Why you might be selling flowers too
Bystander:
I beg your pardon
Harrison:
An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him
The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get
Oh why can't the English learn to set a good example
to people who's English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears
There are even places where English completely disappears
Well, in America they haven't used it for years
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian, the Greeks are taught their Greek
In France every Frenchman knows his language from A to Zed
The French don't care what they do, actually
As long as they pronounce properly
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning
And Hebrews learn it backward which is absolutely frighening
If you use proper English you're regarded as a freak
Oh why can't the English, why can't the English learn to speak!

All My Love's Laughter
All My Love's Laughter
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Jimmy Webb
and multiple other artists
All my love's laughter
All my love's faces
She comes in the morning
Her cloak in her arms
She's following after
The King of all Places
And your tenderest warnin'
Could bruise all her charm
But don't lose your heart
To that beautiful sinner
Who walks without shining a light
She stands in the shade
And the sun is there in her
But you'll never know til it's night
All my love's softness
All my love's graces
She carries all things
In her tiny white glove
She hides all her lostness
In satins and laces
And everyone says
She's searching for sweet love
But don't try to hold on
To Satan's proud lady
Who stands with her flock
all alone on the hill
Her stockings are hung
And her eyes are so shady
She's winning, and you never will
