You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize, all others above So worth the yearning for So worth keeping the home fires burning for We'd be so grand at the game So carefree together that it's It does seem a shame That you can't see your future with me 'Cause you'd be oh so easy to love We'd be so grand at the game So carefree together that It does seem a shame That you can't see your future with me 'Cause you'd be oh so easy to love |

They say that I don't know love, I say yes I do
They say they are counting love, I say I am too They mark the years with rings like a tree they say I count on smaller things, minutes, seconds, days I wait for late afternoon and you The industrious bunch through breakfast and lunch [Incomprehensible] I wait for it afternoon and you The Monday sun softly paves by two Though the book of the clerks thinking diligence works For pension and perks out due I wait for late afternoon and you If we agree to meet at three The concierge and I will see The shades are drawn, the staff is skilled Our lunch prepared, the champaign chilled And if we skip the duck confit Your arms and lips will reach for me These walls were meant to never speak Of songs contempt within a week So on this late afternoon with you Other salesmen reserved all the rumors they've heard That this fool may deserve a review And still I wait and I wait for you I wait for late afternoon and you |

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all So tell me why should it be true I get a kick out of you? I get no kick from cocaine I'm sure if I took even one sniff It would bore me terrificly too But I get a kick out of you I get a kick every time I see you Standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to me You obviously don't adore me I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some guy in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do But I get a kick out of you I get a kick every time I see you Standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to me You obviously don't adore me I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some guy in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do But I get a kick out of you |

At words poetic I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best Instead of getting it off my chest To let 'em rest unexpressed I hate parading my serenading As I'll probably miss a bar But if this ditty is not so pretty At least it'll tell you how great you are You're the top - you're the Coliseum You're the top - Mmm? you're the Louvre museum You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare sonnet, You're Mickey Mouse You're the Nile - You're the tower of Pisa You're the smile - on the Mona Lisa I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop But if baby I'm the bottom, you're the top You're the top, you're Mahatma Ghandi You're the top - you are Napoleon brandy You're the purple light of a summer night in Spain You're the National Gallery You're Garbo's salary You're cellophane You are sublime, you're a turkey dinner You're the time - the time of the Derby winner I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop But if baby I'm the bottom, you're the top, top Steve, there is something I got to tell ya What is it Judy? Well, umm? You're the top (I am?) - mmm ?You're a Waldorf salad Oh No, no let me say it You're the top (me too?) - You're a Berlin ballad You're the nimble tread of The feet of Fred Astaire (Actually I don't dance very well) You're an O'Neill drama, you're Whistler's Mother - Mama (oh), You're Camembert You're a rose, (mmm. sweet) You're Inferno's Dante You're the nose - watch it!I mean Whatwhatwhawha what- on the great Durante.That's better I'm the lazy lout who is just about to storm Let's not storm But if baby I'm the bottom She's the one for me And I've got 'im 'Cause if baby I'm the bottom You're the top |

It was just one of those things
One of those crazy fling One of those bells that now and then rings It was just one of those things It was just one of those nights One of those fabulous flights A trip to the moon on gossamer wings One of those things If we had thought a bit Of the end of it when we started painting the town We had been aware that our love affair Was too hot not too cool down So goodbye, dear and amen Here's hoping we'll meet now and then It was great fun but it was just one of those things If we had thought a bit Of the end of it when we started painting the town We'd been aware that our love affair Was too hot not too cool down So goodbye, dear and amen Here's hoping we'll meet now and then It was great fun but it was just one of those things It was just one of those things |

Do you think of me like snow
Cool, slippery and white? Do you think of me like jazz As hip as black as night? Do you think of me like linen Summer sheets on which you sleep? Do you think of me like ink Skinny words you want to keep? Do you think of me like fat Irresistible as cream? On your lips, on your hips Like chocolate or like a dream Ohh, to be the moon A diamond you can't resist The space between the stars Do you think of me like this? Do you think of me like crack Illegally refined? Sunglass for your eyes Do you think that love is blind? Do you think of me like salt? Do you taste me in your tears? Do you think of me like oil? Filthy rich, my dear I think of you like food I think of you like wine I shouldn't lick my fingers I'm drinking all the time I think of you like paint Flesh tones and pink I think of you like rhyme So much it makes me think I'm mad about you Do you think of me like sand Warm southern fire? Take me with you in the dark And secret in your mind Do you think of me like snow School starting in the fall? Do you think of me in spring Do you think of me at all? |

When love comes in and takes you for a spin
Ooh, la, la, la, la, c'est magnifique When every night your loved one holds you tight Ooh, la, la, la, c'est magnifique But when one day your loved one drifts away Ooh, la, la, la, la, it is so tragique But when once more she whispers je t'adore C'est magnifique When love comes in and takes you for a spin Ooh, la, la, la, la, c'est magnifique When every night your loved one holds you tight Ooh, la, la, la, c'est magnifique But when one day your loved one drifts away Ooh, la, la, la, la, it is so tragique But when once more she whispers je t'adore C'est magnifique |

Whenever skies look gray to me
And troubles begin to brew Whenever the winter winds become too strong I concentrate on you When fortune cries nay, nay to me And people declare we're through Whenever the blues become my only song I concentrate on you On your smile so sweet, so tender When at first my kiss you decline Oh, the light in your eyes when you surrender And once again our arms intertwine And so when wise men say to me That love's young dreams never come true To prove that even wise men can be wrong I concentrate on you Your smile so sweet, so tender When at first my kiss you decline Oh, the light in your eyes when you surrender And once again our arms intertwine And so when wise men say to me That love's young dreams never come true To prove that even wise men can be wrong I concentrate on you I concentrate and concentrate on you |

In the still of the night as I gaze out of my window
At the moon in it's flight my thoughts all stray to you In the still of the night while the world is in slumber Oh, the times without number, darling when I say to you Do you love me as I love you? Are you my life to be, my dream come true Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight? Do you love me as I love you? Are you my life to be, my dream come true Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight? Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill In the chill still of the night |

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today She is sorry to be delayed But last evening down in lover's lane she strayed, madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam She ran to the man who had lead her so far, far astray And from under her velvet gown She drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam When they strung her up on the old willow across the way The moment before she died She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today |
