Straighten Up And Fly RightVer letra

[X]
letra de Straighten Up And Fly Right
A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air,

The monkey thought that everything

was on the square.

The buzzard tried to throw the monkey

off his back,

The monkey grabbed his neck and said,

"Now listen, Jack..."

Straighten up and fly right,

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Ain't no use in divin',

What's the use in jivin'?

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

The buzzard told the monkey,

You are chokin' me.

Release your hold and I'll set you free.

The monkey looked the buzzard right

dead in the eye and said,

Your story's so touching, but it sounds

just like a lie.

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Ain't no use in divin'

Ain't no good in jivin'

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down, papa, don't you blow - your - top.

Fly right!

letra de Sweet Lorraine
Just found joy

I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy

With another brand new choo-choo choy

When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine.

A pair of eyes

That are brighter than the summer sky

When you see them, you'll realize

Why I love my sweet Lorraine.

Now when it's rainin',

I don't miss the sun

Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho

And to think that I'm the lucky one

That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray

That no one will steal her heart away

I can't wait until that lucky day

When I marry sweet Lorraine.

Now when it's rainin'

I don't miss the sun

Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho

And to think that I'm the lucky one

That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray

That no one will steal her heart away

I can't wait until that lucky day

When I marry sweet Lorraine.

The Christmas SongVer letra

letra de The Christmas Song
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Help to make the season bright

Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you
Nature BoyVer letra

letra de Nature Boy
There was a boy

A very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far

Very far

Over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye

But very wise was he

And then one day

A magic day he passed my way

And while we spoke of many things

Fools and kings

This he said to me

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return"

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return"
Lush LifeVer letra

[X]
letra de Lush Life
I used to visit all the very gay places

Those come what may places

Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life

To get the feel of life

From jazz and cocktails

The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces

With distingué traces

That used to be there, you could see where they'd been washed away

By too many through the day

Twelve o'clock tales

Then you came along with your siren of song

To tempt me to madness

I thought for a while that your poignant smile

Was tinged with the sadness

of a great love for me

Ah yes, I was wrong

Again

I was wrong

Life is lonely again

And only last year

Everything seemed so sure

Now life is awful again

A troughful of hearts

Could only be a bore

A week in Paris will ease the bite of it

All I care is to smile in spite of it

I'll forget you, I will

While yet you are still

Burning inside my brain

Romance is mush

Stifling those who strive

I'll live a lush life

In some small dive

And there I'll be

While I rot

With the rest of those

Whose lives are lonely, too

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,

Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,

Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Sittin' by de ocean

Me heart, she feel so sad,

Sittin' by de ocean,

Me heart, she feel so sad...

Don't got de money

To take me back to Trinidad.

Fine calypso woman,

She cook me shrimp and rice,

Fine calypso woman,

She cook me shrimp and rice...

Dese yankee hot dogs

Don't treat me stomach very nice.

In Trinidad, one dollar buy

Papaya juice, banana pie,

Six coconut, one female goat,

An' plenty fish to fill de boat.

One bushel bread, one barrel wine,

An' all de town, she come to dine.

But here is bad, one dollar buy

Cup of coffee, ham on rye.

Me throat she sick from necktie,

Me feet hurt from shoes.

Me pocket full of empty,

I got Calypso blues.

Dese yankee girl give me big scare,

Is black de root, is blonde de hair.

Her eyelash false, her face is paint,

And pads are where de girl she ain't!

She jitterbug when she should waltz,

I even think her name is false.

But calypso girl is good a lot,

Is what you see, is what she got.

Sittin' by de ocean

Me heart, she feel so sad,

Sittin' by de ocean,

Me heart, she feel so sad...

Don't got de money

To take me back to Trinidad.

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,

Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,

Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

letra de Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you

You're so like the lady with the mystic smile

Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you?

For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?

Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep

They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?

Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?

Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep

They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?

Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Too YoungVer letra

[X]
letra de Too Young
They try to tell us we're too young

Too young to really be in love

They say that love's a word

A word we've only heard

But can't begin to know the meaning of

And yet we're not too young to know

This love will last though years may go

And then someday they may recall

We were not too young at all

And yet we're not too young to know

This love will last though years may go

And then someday they may recall

We were not too young at all
UnforgettableVer letra

[X]
letra de Unforgettable
Unforgettable, that's what you are

Unforgettable though near or far

Like a song of love that clings to me

How the thought of you does things to me

Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

That's why, darling, it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

That's why, darling, it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too
Somewhere Along The WayVer letra

[X]
letra de Somewhere Along The Way
I used to walk with you

Along the avenue

Our hearts were carefree and gay

How could I know I'd lose you

Somewhere along the way?

The friends we used to know

Would always smile "Hello"

No love like our love they'd say

Then love slipped through our fingers

Somewhere along the way

I should forget

But with the loneliness of night I start remembering ev'rything

You're gone and yet

There's still a feeling deep inside

That you will always be part of me

So now I look for you

Along the avenue

And as I wander I pray

That some day soon I'll find you

Somewhere along the way

I should forget

But with the loneliness of night I start remembering ev'rything

You're gone and yet

There's still a feeling deep inside

That you will always be part of me

So now I look for you

Along the avenue

And as I wander I pray

That some day soon I'll find you

Somewhere along the way

Somewhere along the way

PretendVer letra

[X]
letra de Pretend
Pretend you're happy when you're blue

It isn't very hard to do

And you'll find happiness without an end

Whenever you pretend

Remember anyone can dream

And nothing's as bad as it may seem

The little things you haven't got could be a lot if you pretend

You'll find a love you can share

One you can call all your own

Just close your eyes she'll be there

You'll never be alone

And if you sing this melody

You'll be pretending just like me

The world is mine it can be yours my friend

So why don't you pretend
Blue GardeniaVer letra

letra de Blue Gardenia
Blue gardenia

Now I'm alone with you

And I am, oh, so blue

She has tossed us aside

And like you, gardenia

Once I was near her heart

After the teardrops start

Where are teardrops to hide?

I lived for an hour

What more can I tell

Love bloomed like a flower

Then the petals fell

Blue gardenia

Thrown to a passing breeze

But rest in my book

Of memories

I lived for an hour

What more can I tell

Love bloomed like a flower

Then the petals fell

Blue gardenia

Thrown to a passing breeze

But rest in my book

Of memories
I Am In LoveVer letra

[X]
letra de I Am In Love
I am dejected.

I am depressed.

Yet resurrected and sailing the crest.

Why this elation, mixed with deflation?

What explanation?

I am in love.

Such conflicting questions rise

Around in my brain

Should I order cyanide

Or order champagne?

Oh, what is this sudden jolt?

I feel like a frightened colt,

Just hit by a thunderbolt.

I am in love.

I knew the odds were against me before,

I had no flair for flaming desire,

But since the gods gave me you to adore,

I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire,

So come and enlighten my days and never depart.

You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart,

For I am wildly in love with you,

And so in need of a stampede of love.

I knew the odds were against me before,

I had no flair for flaming desire,

But since the gods gave me you to adore,

I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire,

So come and enlighten my days and never depart.

You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart,

For I am wildly in love with you,

And so in need of a stampede of love,

And so in need of a stampede of love.

Answer Me, My LoveVer letra

letra de Answer Me, My Love
Answer me, oh, my love

Just what sin have I been guilty of?

Tell me how I came to lose your love

Please answer me, sweetheart

You were mine yesterday

I believed that love was here to stay

Won't you tell me where I've gone astray?

Please answer me, my love

If you're happier without me

I'll try not to care

But if you still think about me

Please listen to my prayer

You must know I've been true

Won't you say that we can start anew?

In my sorrow now I turn to you

Please answer me, my love

(If you're happier without me)

(I'll try not to care)

But if you still think about me

Please listen to my prayer

You must know (you must know)I've been true (I've been true)

Won't you say that we can start anew?

In my sorrow now I turn to you

Please answer me, my love

SmileVer letra

letra de Smile
Smile, though your heart is aching

Smile, even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky

You'll get by...

If you smile

Through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

The Sand And The SeaVer letra

[X]
letra de The Sand And The Sea
If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea

There's a hope in my heart that you'll soon be with me

There's a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea

And it cries "Come to me, come to me."

As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore

You are here in my arms for a moment or more

Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea

And it cries "Come to me, come to me."

But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea

As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully

As long as there's heaven up above

Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me

But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea

As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully

As long as there's heaven up above

Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me

To the ends of the earth

I'll follow my star

To the ends of the earth

Just to be where you are

No matter where you roam

I'll never be far behind

Who cares where the path may wind

As long as I find you?

Though the melody dies

The song lingers on

And a thousand goodbyes

Won't convince me you're gone

I'll follow you, my love

You'll never be free

To the ends of the earth

Till you've given your love to me

To the ends of the earth

I'll follow my star

To the ends of the earth

Just to be where you are

No matter where you roam

I'll never be far behind

Who cares where the path may wind

Night lights, those blues-in-the-night lights

Are no longer bright lights since I'm without you

Sweet dreams, oh where did they fly to?

You're gone and who can I cry to?

Those night lights remind me of bright eyes

And beautiful white lies too good to be true

As I go on my way with all my heart I pray

That those night lights will lead me to you

Those night lights remind me of bright eyes

And beautiful white lies too good to be true

As I go on my way with all my heart I pray

That those night lights will lead me to you

Dance, ballerina, dance

And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart

Dance, ballerina, dance

You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part

Whirl, ballerina, whirl

And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row

This is your moment, girl

Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show

Once you said his love must wait its turn

You wanted fame instead

I guess that's your concern

We live and learn

And love is gone, ballerina, gone

So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance

Dance on and on and on

A thousand people here have come to see the show

As 'round and 'round you go

So ballerina, dance

Dance, dance!

Whirl ballerina

Once you said his love must wait its turn

You wanted fame instead

I guess that's your concern

We live and learn

And love is gone, ballerina, gone

So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance

Dance on and on and on

A thousand people here have come to see the show

So ballerina, dance

StardustVer letra

letra de Stardust
And now the purple dusk of twilight time

Steals across the meadows of my heart

High up in the sky the little stars climb

Always reminding me that we're apart

You wander down the lane and far away

Leaving me a song that will not die

Love is now the stardust of yesterday

The music of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend

The lonely night dreaming of a song

The melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you

When our love was new

And each kiss an inspiration

But that was long ago

Now my consolation

Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall

When stars are bright

You are in my arms

The nightingale tells his fairy tale

A paradise where roses bloom

Though I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain

And then she hold my hand-

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

And then I understand-

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Her eyes afire

With one desire.

Then a heavenly kiss:

Could I resist?

And then I dim the light-

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

And then I hold her tight-

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Her kiss, each fond caress,

They lead the way to happiness.

She takes me to paradise.

And when I dim the light,

Mm-mm-mm-mm, she's willing.

And when I hold her tight,

Mm-mm-mm-mm, it's thrilling.

Her kiss, each fond caress,

They lead the way to happiness.

She takes me to paradise.

letra de Wild Is Love
Wild is love!

Wild is love!

Wild-wild-wild

Is love!

As a rule, man's a fool.

When it's hot, he wants it cool.

When it's cool, he wants it hot.

Always wanting

What is not.

Wild is love

Whenever two hearts meet,

Wild is love,

Bitter, but oh so sweet.

And I know

I must go

Wherever love takes me,

Whatever love makes me,

I will be!

Like a fire

Burning beyond control,

Wild is love

Deep in my heart and soul

And though wild as the wind

And wild as the rolling sea,

Nothing could ever be

As wild as love.

And I know

I must go

Wherever love takes me,

Whatever love makes me,

I will be!

And though wild is the wind

And wild is the rolling sea,

Nothing could ever be

As wild as love...

As wild as love...

As wild as love...

As wild is love!
