Peggy Lee

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - I'm in love

I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see - I'm in love

Life's a wonderful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let her go

Life's is a beautiful thing As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so If I should ever let it go

I know a little bit about a lot o' things,
But I don't know enough about you.
Just when I think you're mine,
You try a different line,
And baby, what can I do?

I read the latest news,
No buttons on my shoes,
But baby, I'm confused about you.
You get me in a spin,
Oh what a stew I'm in,
'Cause I don't know enough about you.

Jack of all trades, master of none,
And isn't it a shame,
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me,
If you'd only play my game!

You know I went to school,
And I'm nobody's fool,
That is to say until I met you!
I know a little bit about a lot o' things,
But I don't know enough about you.

You know I went to school,
And I'm nobody's fool,
That is to say until I met you!
I know a little bit about a lot o' things,
But I don't know enough about you.

I know a little bit about biology,
And a little more about psychology,
I'm a little gem in geology,
But I don't know enough about you.

I guess Id better get out the encyclopedia
And fresh up on from "shmer" to "shmoo", mmmm,
'Cause I don't know enough about you.

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers who
They still say, I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man

And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It′s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die

The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor from nine to four
In between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday roomI'm talkin to the shadow
One o'clock till four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
And all I do is pour
Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dryNow man was born to go a lovin'
But was a woman born to weep and fret
And stay at home and tend her oven
And down her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettesI'm moonin' all the mornin'
Moanin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
This thinkin' 'bout my baby
Might maybe come around
Come around

Baubles, bangles,
Hear how they jing , jing-a-ling-a,
Baubles, bangles,
Bright, shiny beads.
Sparkles, spangles,
My heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a,
Wearing baubles, bangles and beads.
I'll glitter and gleam so,
Make somebody dream so,
That someday he may buy me,
A ring, ring-aling-a,
I've heard that's where it leads,
Wearing baubles and bangles and beads.
