1. Straighten Up And Fly Right

   Letra

   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!
2. Sweet Lorraine

   Letra

   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.

6. The Christmas Song

   Letra

   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
7. Nature Boy

   Letra

   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"
8. Lush Life

   Letra

   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
9. Calypso Blues

   Letra

   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...
10. Mona Lisa

    Letra

    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? Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

14. Somewhere Along The Way

    Letra

    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

17. Blue Gardenia

    Letra

    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
18. I Am In Love

    Letra

    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.

   Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by...

4. The Sand And The Sea

   Letra

   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

10. Stardust

    Letra

    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

As wild as love... As wild is love!
