I don't want a mountain of diamonds
And a valley of gold wouldn't do But if you want to make me happy Just make me a present of you I don't need a desert of rubies Or an ocean of pearls to swim through But if you wanna make me happy Just make me a present of you What good is a girl with a million? What good if the world calls you Queen? If you don't have someone to love you Then you really don't have anything So I'll take your arms for my palace And the sky for my room with a view I know that I'll make you happy, yes If you make me a present of you What good is a gal with a million? What good if the world calls you Queen? If you don't have a man to love you Then you really don't have a doggone thing So I'll take my arms for your palace And the sky for my room with a view I know we'll both be very happy If you'll box yourself up Tie it with a pretty ribbon And make me, Lord, make me a present of you |

They asked me how I knew
my true love was true, Oh I, of course, replied something here inside cannot be denied They said someday you’ll find all who love are blind, oh When your heart’s on fire you must realize Smoke gets in your eyes So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed To think they could doubt my love Yet today, my love has flown away I am without my love Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide of So I smile and say, When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes Smoke gets in your eyes |

Summer journeys
To Niagara And to other places Aggravate all our cares We'll save our fares I've a cozy little flat In what is known as old Manhattan We'll settle down Right here in town We'll have Manhattan The Bronx and Staten Island, too It's lovely going through The zoo It's very fancy On old Delancey Street, you know The subway charms us so When balmy breezes blow To and fro And tell me what street Compares with Mott Street In July Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by The great big city's a wondrous toy Just made for a girl and boy We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy We'll go to Greenwich Where modern men itch To be free And Bowling Green you'll see With me We'll bathe at Brighton The fish you'll frighten When you're in Your bathing suit so thin Will make the shellfish grin Fin to fin I'd like to take a Sail on Jamaica Bay with you And fair Canarsie's lake We'll view The city's bustle cannot destroy The dreams of a girl and boy We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy We'll go to Yonkers Where true love conquers In the wilds And starve together, dear In Childs' We'll go to Coney And eat baloney On a roll In Central Park we'll stroll Where our first kiss we stole Soul to soul Our future babies We'll take to "Abie's Irish Rose" I hope they'll live to see It close The city's clamor can never spoil The dreams of a boy and goil We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy We'll have Manhattan The Bronx and Staten Island, too We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue As black as onyx We'll find the Bronnix Park Express Our Flatbush flat, I guess Will be a great success More or less A short vacation On Inspiration Point We'll spend And in the station house we'll end But civic virtue cannot destroy The dreams of a girl and boy We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy |

I know he'll never be forgotten
He was a king uncrowned I know I'll always remember The warmth of his sound Lingering long I'm sure he's still around For those who heard they respect him yet So those who hear won't forget The sound of each phrase Echoing time uncountable by days The things he played are with us now And they'll endure should time allow Oh yes I remember Clifford I seem to always fed him near somehow Every day I hear his lovely tone In every trumpet sound that has a beauty all its own So how can we say something so real has really gone away? I hear him now, I always will Believe me I remember Clifford still. |

When it rained five days
And the skies turned dark at night When it rained five days And the skies turned dark at night There was trouble takin' place In the lowland at night I woke up this mornin' Couldn't even get out of my door I woke up this mornin' Couldn't even get out of my door Enough trouble to make a poor woman Wonder where she's gonna go They rowed a little boat About five miles across the farm Said they rowed a little boat About five miles across the farm I packed up all of my clothes, trowed them in And they rowed me along Where it thundered and lightnin' And the wind began to blow Said it thundered and lightnin' And the wind began to blow There was thousands of people They had no place to go I went out and stood up On a high old lonesome hill I went out and stood up On a high old lonesome hill I looked down on the house Where I used to live Back water blues that calls me To pack my things and go Back water blues that calls me To pack my things and go Cause my house fell down And I can't live there no more Ooh, I can't live there no more Ooh, I can't live there no more There ain't no place for a poor woman to go |

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're cozy and clinging Well, sir, all I can say Is if I were a bell I'd be ringing From the moment we kissed tonight That's the way I just got to behave Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light Or if I were a banner I'd wave Ask me how do I feel Little me with my quiet upbringing Well, sir, all I can say Is if I were a gate I'd be swinging And if I were a watch I'd start Popping my spring Or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong ding dong ding Ask me how do I feel From this chemistry lesson I'm learning Well, sir, all I can say Is if I were a bridge I'd be burning Yes, I knew my moral would crack From the wonderful way that you looked Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked Ask me how do I feel Ask me now that we're fondly caressing Pal, if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing Or if I were a season, I'd surely be spring Or if I were a bell Yes, if I were a bell, if I were a bell I'd go ding dong ding dong ding |

Did you see that I've got a lot to learn?
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn, Since this is the perfect spot to learn - Oooh, teach me tonight! Let's start with the ABC of it, Roll right down to the XYZ of it Help me solve the mystery of it, Teach me tonight! The sky's a blackboard high above you, If a shooting star goes by, I'll use that star, to write I love you, A thousand times across the sky. One thing isn't very clear my love, Should the teacher stand so near my love? Graduation's almost here my love, Come on and teach me tonight. I'll use that star to write I love you, A thousand times across the sky, One thing isn't very clear my love Should the teacher stand so near my love, Graduation's almost here my love, Teach me......please teach me tonight! |

Don't even go to a movie show
If you're not by my side, I stay home by my radio, But I'm satisfied! All my flirtin' days are gone, On the level from now on! Don't go for any excitement now, Books are my best company. All my opinions have changed somehow, Old-fashioned as can be! When you really learn to care, There's a thrill in solitaire! Keepin' ou of mischief now, Really am in love, and how! I'm through playing with fire, It's you whom I desire! All the world can plainly see You're the only one for me! I've told them in advance They can't break up our romance! Living up to every vow, I'm keepin' out of mischief now! All the world can plainly see That you're the only one for me! Say I've told them, told them in advance That they can't break up our romance! Living up to every vow, I'm keepin', keepin' out of mischief now! |

All of me
Why not take all of me Can't you see That I'm no good without you Take my arms I want to loose them Take my lips I'll never use them Your goodbye Left me with eyes that cry And I know that I Am no good without you You took the part That once was my heart So why not take all of me (Repeat both verses) Why not take all of me |
