I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

From The Garrick Gaities (1925).
In our mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just three crazy people together.
Ooo, while you love your lover
Let blue skies be your coverlet
When it rains we'll laugh at the weather.
And if you're good
I'll search for wood
So you can cook
While I stand a-looking.
Ooo, beans could get no
keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home.
In the mountain greenery
(Where God) Where God paints the scenery
(Just us three) Just three crazy people together
(How) How we love sequestering
(Where no) Where no pests are pestering
(Pestering) No man holds us in a tether.
Mosquitoes here won't bite your ear
I'll let them sting me on my finger
We could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery
Than our mountain greenery with its mountain scenery
Bless our montain greenery home

This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes

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 clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling
You were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Somethings that happen
For the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
Somethings that happen
For the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
. . .

Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear you breathe a flame
Lover, when we're dancing
Keep on glancing in my eyes
Till love's own entrancing music dies
All of my future is in you
Your every plan I design
Promise you'll always continue to be mine
Hey lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart
I say "The devil is in you"
And to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue I would die
Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart
What a lover
Yes, he is
Sweet lover

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay!
Each day is valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay, oh stay!
Each day is valentine's day

My romance doesn't have
To have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need
A blue lagoon standing by
No month of May
No twinkling stars
No hide away
No soft guitars
My romance doesn't need
A castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly
Surprising refrain
Wide awake
I can make my most
Fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need
A thing but you
My romance doesn't have
To have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need
A blue lagoon standing by
No month of May
No twinkling stars
No hide away
No soft guitars
My romance doesn't need
A castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly
Surprising refrain
Wide awake
I can make my most
Fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need
A thing but you

I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stopped right there
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still
Baby, I don't wanna walk without you
Baby, I don't wanna talk about you

Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool
Caring too much
Is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust
Is just for children in school
I fell in love with love
One night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me!
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool
Caring too much
Is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust
Is just for children in school
I fell in love with love
One night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me!
Falling in love with love
Falling in love with love
Falling in love with love

Thou swell, thou witty
Thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty ?
Wouldst hold my hand ?
Both thine eyes are cute too
What they do to me
Hear me holler I choose a
Sweet lolla paloosa in thee
I'd feel so rich
In a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of
Not a lot of land
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou grand
I'd feel so rich
In a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure will do
Give me just a plot of
Not a lot of land
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou grand

He dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
Through the night
I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
There's my love up above
I whisper
Go away, my lover, it's not fair
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love
In my sight
All through the night
There's my love up above
I whisper
Go away, my lover, it ain't fair
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love
. . .

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms would ever hold
I heared somebody whisper
"Please, adore me"
And when I looked
The moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there's suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms would ever hold
I heared somebody whisper
"Please, adore me"
And when I looked
The moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
