Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

A fine romance with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend, this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes (to-mah-toes, dear)
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed po-tah-toes (potatoes)

A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't even wrestle
You've never mussed the crease in my blue serge pants

Ask anyone up Harlem way
Who that guy Bojangles is
They may not know who's president
But just ask 'em who Bojangles is

He's in the most entrancin' business
It's what they call the "dancin' business"
When there's a beat

Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man?

You have danced with him since the music began.

Wont you change partners and dance with me?

Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face?

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

Every place you go
Everyone's dancing mad
Every place you go
Everyone's got it bad

There's a dance they do
They call it crazy feet
Take a chance and you

Tell me that it's true, Tell me you agree, I was meant for you, You were meant for me. (refrain) Dearly beloved, how clearly I see, Somewhere in Heaven you were fashioned for me, Angel eyes knew you, angel voices led me to you; Nothing could save me, fate gave me a sign; I know that I'll be yours come shower or shine; So I say merely, dearly beloved be mine.

A bunny for my honey a dolly with a curl
An aeroplane an electric train
And a teddy bear for my girl
A kitty for my pretty a castle for my love

Gee, what do I see?
Brother, if that's a drum that’s for me

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
That pit-apats through my brain;
So darn persistent,
The day isn't distant
When it'll drive me insane.

Comes in the morning
Without any warning,

An old sailor, in old time, would sing an old song
Rolling down to Rio by the sea
A young sailor, in these times, would sing a new song
Flying down to Rio, come with me!
Where the lovely Brazilian ladies will catch your eye
By the light of the million stars in the evening sky

My Rio, Rio by the Sea-o

JO.
How can you possibly make a model out of that? You can't be serious.

DICK.
When I get through with you, you'll look like? what do you call beautiful...?
tree.
You'll look like a tree.

He loves and she loves and they love,
So why can't you love and I love too?
Birds love and bees love and whispering trees love,
And that's what we both should do!

I always knew some day you'd come along,
We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong!
Darling, he loves and she loves and they love, won't you

How I love a glass of beer
(More beer)
Beer goes very good with beer
(More beer)
When I'm drinking beer I'm thinking, ach life is beer
But there's someone I love even more than beer

I love Louisa, Louisa loves me

Strange
How a dreary world can suddenly change
To a world as bright as the evening star
Queer
What a difference when your vision is clear
And you see things as they really are

I used to be color-blind

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, Madame, with you

My heart won't let my feet do the things they should do

I won't dance. Don't ask me.
I won't dance. Don't ask me.
I won't dance, Madame, with you.
My heart won't let my feet do things they should do.

You know what? You're lovely.

So what? I'm lovely...

I'D RATHER CHARLESTON
From the London show "Lady Be Good" 1926)
(George Gershwin / Desmond Carter)

Fred & Adele Astaire (Piano: George Gershwin)
(London Stage Production) - 1926

Also recorded by: Jack Gibbons; George Gershwin;

[FRED:] Here she comes, down the street
[BING:] My, oh my, ain't she sweet?
[FRED:] Why, here comes my hot toddy
[BING:] Over my dead body
[BING:] I'll capture her heart singing
[FRED:] Just wait until she gets a load of my dancing
[BING:] Just wait till I start singing
[FRED:] I'll take her strolling down the road with my dancing

I've been a roaming Romeo
My Juliets have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket

the weather is frightening
the thunder and lightning
seem to be having their way
but as far as i'm concerned
it's a lovely day
the turn in the weather
will keep us together
so i can honestly say

As you listen to the band don't you get a bubble?
As you listen to them play don't you get a glow?
If you step out on the floor
You'll forget your trouble
If you go into your dance
You'll forget your woe
So:

I didn't mean to,
Start any scene to
Make you sigh
Hope to die

It's most immoral
For us to quarrel
Why can't we

My one and only,
What am I gonna do if you turn me down
When I'm so crazy over you

I'd be so lonely
Where am I gonna go if you turn me down
Why blacken all my skies of blue

Though we're called a people of serious mind,
'Tis often we dance, 'tis often we sing.

And bein' as human as all human-kind,
We aren't superior to havin' a fling.
I'm taking the fling of a lifetime.
The fling of a husband and wife-time.

Though, I'm left without a penny
The wolf was discreet
He left me my feet
And so, I put them down on anything
But the la belle
La perfectly swell romance

Never gonna dance

I see a new sun up in a new sky
And my whole horizon has reached a new high
Yesterday, my heart sang a blue song
But today, hear it hum a cheery new song

I dreamed a new dream, I saw a new face
And I'm spreading sunshine all over the place
With a new point of view, here's what greets my eye

I wake up every morning with a smile on my face
Everything in it's place as it should be
I start out every morning just as free as the breeze
My cares upon the shelf
Because I find myself with

No strings and no connections
No ties to my affections

I've read about those tender girls
Those ready to surrender girls
I've got one of a tougher kind
Rougher kind, the make men suffer kind

Who's sweet to me, not my girl
Who's kind to me, not my girl
You want to know what my girl can be

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story
You oughta know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

High hats and narrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime

If you're blue and you don't know
where to go to why don't you go
where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day
coat pants with stripes and cutaway
coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Drop that long face
Come on, have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues?
If you want this whole world on a swing

Put on your dancing shoes
Stop wasting time
Put on your dancing shoes

I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain,
What a glorious feeling,
And I´m happy again.
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark, up above,
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love.

Listen while you read
I'm steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in the right
It's for sure, not for maybe
That I'm all dressed up tonight

Steppin' out with my honey
Can't be bad to feel so good

That face, that face, that wonderful face!
It shines, it glows all over the place.
And how I love to watch it change expressions.
Each look becomes the pride of my possessions.

I love that face, that face, it just isn't fair.
You must forgive the way that I stare,
But never will these eyes behold a sight that could replace

The clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that's a dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean

That's entertainment!

The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with the guy on the side

Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
It's something daring, The Continental,
A way of dancing that's really 'entre nous'.

It's very subtle, The Continental,
Because it does what you want it to do.
It has a passion, The Continental,

By the Adriatic waters Venetian sons and daughters
Are strumming a new tune upon their guitars.
It was written by a Latin, a gondolier who sat in
His home out in Brooklyn and gazed at the stars.

He sent his melody across the sea to Italy,
And we know they wrote some words to fit that catchy bit
And christened it the Piccolino.

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,

Come on and hear the yam man cry
Any yam today?
The sweet potatoes that he'll fry
Will be yam today

The little step that you see him do
With every yam that he sells to you
It's something that you ought to try

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother when they said that man could fly
They told Marconi wireless was a phony, it's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you, said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through, now they'll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy, they laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh now?

If I should suddenly start to sing,
Or stand on my head, or anything,
Don't think that I've lost my senses,
It's just that my happiness finally commences!

The long, long ages of dull despair
Are turning into thin air,
And it seems that suddenly I've

Maybe it was the music
Or the glamorous sky of blue
Maybe it was the mood I was in
Or maybe it was really you, really you

This heart of mine was doing very well
The world was fine as far as i could tell
And then quite suddenly i saw you, and i dreamed of gay amours

I just got an invitation through the mails:
"your presence requested this evening, it's formal
A top hat, a white tie and tails"
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails
Because I'm invited to step out this evening
With top hat, white tie and tails

I'm puttin' on my top hat

Everywhere that beauty glows, you are
Everywhere an orchid grows, you are
Everything that's light and gay, brighter than a holiday
Everywhere the angels play, you are

You're like Paris in April and May
You're New York on a silv'ry day
The Swiss Alps as the sun grows fainter
