Marilyn Monroe

If you listen, you can hear it call
Wail-a-ree (wail-a-ree)

There is a river called the river of no return
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on the river of no return
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea (wail-a-ree)
I can hear the river call (no return, no return)
No return, no return (where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree)
I can hear my lover call come to me (no return, no return)
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever down the river of no return
Wail-a-ree [wail-a-ree] wail-a-re-e-ee
She'll/He'll never return to me! (no return, no return, no return)

I'm through with love
I'll never fall again
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love

I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there
I've stocked my heart
with icy, frigid air
And I mean to care for no one
Because I'm through with love

Why did you lead me
To think you could care?
You didn't need me
For you had your share
of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
with deep emotion and devotion to you

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love

I'm through with, baby,
I'm through with love

He's not so good in a crowd but when you get him alone,
you'd be surprised.
He isn't much at a dance but then when he takes you home,
you'd be surprised.
He doesn't look like much of a lover,
don't judge a book by its cover,
'cause he's got the face of an angel but
there's a devil in his eye!
He's such a delicate thing but when he's starting to squeeze,
you'd be surprised.
He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee,
you'd be surprised.
At a party or at a ball,
I've got to admit he's nothing at all,
but in a Morris chair, you'd be surprised.
He doesn't say very much but when he's starting to speak,
you'd be surprised.
He's not so good at the start but at the end of the week,
you'd be surprised.
On a streetcar or in a train,
you'd think he was born without any brains.
But in a taxi cab, and when he starts to grab,
I say in a taxi cab, you'd be surprised.
This one's a real danger!

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine food and haddie
I just adore, his asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, DAAAAD
So I want to warn you laddie
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
Cause my Daddy, he treats it so well
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To cook up some hot enchilada

My heart belongs to Daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy

Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, DAAAAD

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kioss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you at the automat

Men grow cold as girls grow old
We all lose our charm in the end
But square cut or pear shape
These rocks don't lose their shape

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hardboiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice, but get that ice or else no dice

He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those spouses
And diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock again

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

(kiss, kiss me)
(hold, hold me)
(kiss me, hold me, kiss me, hold me...)
kiss, kiss me
say you miss, miss me
kiss me love, with heavenly affection
hold, hold me close to you
hold me, see me through
with all your heart's protection
thrill, thrill me
with your charms
take me, in your arms
and make my life perfection
kiss, kiss me darling
then, kiss me once again
make my dreams come true
(this is the moment, oh thrill me)
thrill me, thrill me (with your charms)
take me, take me (in your arms)
and make my life perfection
take me, darling don't foresake me
kiss me
hold me tight
love me, love me tonight
(kiss me, hold me, take me, love me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me)

I've looked around the country and I've seen it all
and what I want I'm ready to name.
It's big and strong and handsome and it's 6 feet tall.
I'm gonna file my claim.
I've struck a real bonanza and he's rough and rash,
but what he's got I'm ready to tame.
He's worth a fancy fortune but it's not in cash,
I'm gonna file my claim!
I got the fever,ooh, the fever, but not for gold in the ground.
I want the title to something vital that I can throw my fences around.
A girl should never hustle with a pick and pan to dig for gold,
that isn't her game.
I'll find the man who found it then I'll get that man,
who's gonna help me file my claim?
I'm gonna file my claim.
Ooh, looking for nuggets? Ooh, mush!
A, B, C, D, who's gonna file me under love?
There ain't a man, not a single man!
There ain't a man alive who wouldn't trade his gold
for what it takes to stay in the game.
So have you fun and spend before you get too old.
Who's gonna help me file my claim?
Who's gonna help me, help, help me,
who's gonna help me file my claim..tonight.

I'll be in my room alone
every post meridian
and I'll read my diary
and that book by Mister Gideon.

Bye, bye, baby
remember you're my baby
when they give you the eye,
and just to show that I care
I will write and declare
that I'm on the loose
but I'm still on the square.

I've been lonely
but even though I'm lonely
there'll be no other guy.
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
with my baby by and by
with my baby by and by.

I'll be gloomy
but send that rainbow to me
then my shadows will fly.
Though you'll be gone fo a while
I know that I'll be smiling
with my baby by and by.

If I know just what to say when some trouble heads his way
and can make him feel that everything is good,
then I act like a woman and he likes a woman
to act like a woman should.
If he's late and I'm alone and he doesn't telephone
and the kiss that greets him says

Hello!
(here we go!)
No sorry,not tonight
(that was quick!).
Shhh! Yes?
(Jim?Jack?Jeffrey?)
No,it's just that I'm languid.
(Well,how do you do?It's nice to know ya).
Physically I'm in pretty good shape
(brother,you could say that again!)
It's my attitude that's passive,
you know you're the only one I love
(that's all, he's hooked).
Bye now
(bye now)
Hello
(where are we again?)
No sorry,not tonight
(she's languid).
Shhh!Quiet!
(Bill,Bobby,Bruce?)
No,it's just that I'm supine
(that's avoided-I know).
Physically I'm in pretty good shape
(see? she did say it again).
But mentally I'm comatose
(quick boy, the dictionary!)
You know you're the only one I love!
(new fish, same hook)
Bye now
(bye now).
(She won't get up,she won't go out, baby! what's it all about?
Why,why,why,why,why?!)
Well,in simple english I'm lazy,I wanna be lazy,
I long to be out in the sun, with no work to be done.
under that awning they call the sky,
stretching and yawning, and let the world go drifting by,
I wouldn't peep through the deep tangled wildwood,counting sheep,
'till I sleep like a child would,
with a great big valise full of books to read, where it's peaceful.
While I'm killin' time, being lazy.
Wrong number,wrong number..
Oh Sam,you're sweet!
With a great big valise full of books to read,where it's peaceful.
While I'm killin' time, being lazy!

We're havin a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The temperatures rising, it isn't suprising
She certainly can, can can!
She started a heatwave
By letting her seat wave,
in such a way that the customers say
that she certainly can, can-can!
Gee, Gee!
Her anatomy
Makes the mercury
Rise!
to ninety three
We're havin' a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves
The thermometor proves
that she certainly can!

I wanna be loved by you, just you, and nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you aloone, poo poo pee doo.
I wanna be kissed by you, just you, and nobody else but you,
I wanna be kissed by you alone.
I couldn't aspire to anything higher
Than to fill the desire to make you my own.
Padam, padam, pee doo pee dam, poo
I wanna be loved by you, just you, and nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you alone.

I couldn't aspire to anything higher
Than to fill the desire to make you my own,
Padam, padam, pee doo pee dam, poo.
I wanna be loved by you, just you, and nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, pee dee lee dee, dee lee dee,
Dee lee dam, poo poo pee doo.

I got a fever
An inflammation
That's what I got
You turn the heat on me
Some like it hot

Look what you started
A conflagration
Baby, that's what
Don't let the flame go out
Some like it hot

Oh baby, I'm from that old school
I'll play it real cool
But when you kissed me
I lit up
like a four alarm fire

Call out the engine
Ring up the station
I'm on the spot
Love burns you up the most
Like it or not
But baby, I like it hot

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday Mr President
Happy birthday to you

Thanks, Mr President
For all the things you've done
The battles that you've won
The way you deal with U.S. Steel
And our problems by the ton
We thank you so much

Everybody, happy birthday

I wanna be loved by you,
just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
alone poo poo pi doo
I wanna be kissed by you
just you, nobody else but you
I wanna be kissed by you
alone

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Then to fill a desire to
make you my own

I wanna be loved by you,
just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
alone

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Then to fill a desire to
make you my own
tada tada ta tada

I wanna be loved by you
just you, nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be loved by you
I wanna be loved by you
Alone

: The French were bred to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

...Tiffany's ... Cartier...
Talk to me, Harry Winston,tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

And I think affairs that you must keep laconic
Are better bets if little pets get big baggettes
Time rolls on and youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's

Diamonds... Diamonds...
- I don't mean rhinestones -
But Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best Friends!

After you get what you want you don't want it.
If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon.
You're like a baby, you want what you want when you want it.
But after you are presented with what you want, you're discontented.
You're always wishing and wanting for something
when you get what you want, you don't want what you get,
and though I sit upon your knee, you'll grow tired of me,
'cause after you get what you want,
you don't want what you wanted at all.
Changeable, you've got a changeable nature,
always always changing your mind.
There's a longing in your eye hard to satisfy,
and here's the reason why:
'cause after you get what you want you don't want it,
baby I don't mean to make you blue but you need a talking to,
'cause after you get what you want,
you don't want what you wanted at all.
I know you!

If you listen, you can hear it call
Wail-a-ree (wail-a-ree)

There is a river called the river of no return
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on the river of no return
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea (wail-a-ree)
I can hear the river call (no return, no return)
No return, no return (where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree)
I can hear my lover call come to me (no return, no return)
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever down the river of no return
Wail-a-ree [wail-a-ree] wail-a-re-e-ee
She'll/He'll never return to me! (no return, no return, no return)

When Mr South Wind sighs in the pines,
old Mr Winter whimpers and whines.
Down in the meadow, under the snow,
April is teaching green things to grow.
When Mr West Wind howls in a glade,
old Mr Summer nods in the shade.
Down in the meadow, deep in the brook,
catfish are waiting for the hook.
Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,
scarecrow is waving at the moon.
Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump, bump,
with the magic of June.
When Mr East Wind shouts over head,
then all the leaves turn yellow and red.
Down in the meadow corn stocks are high
pumpkins are ripe and ready for pie.
Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,
scarecrow's waving at the Moon.
Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump-bump
with the magic of June.
When Mr North Wind rolls on the breeze,
old father Christmas trims over trees.
Down in the meadow snow shoftly gleams
earth goes to sleep and smiles in her dreams.

When I fall in love,
It will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love.

In a restless world,
Like this is,
Love is ended
Before it's begun.
And too many moonlight kisses,
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.

When I give my heart,
It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart.

And the moment I can feel that,
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you.

And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love...
With you.

One silver dollar, bright silver dollar,
changing hands, changing hands.
Endlessly rollin', wasted or stolen,
changing hands, changing hands.
Spent for a beer he's drinking,
won by a gambler's lust,
pierced by an outlaw's bullet
and rusted in the blood red dust.
One silver dollar, worn silver dollar,
changing hands, changing hands,
love is a shining dollar,
bright as a Church bell's chime
gambled and spent and wasted,
and lost in a dart of time.
One silver dollar, worn silver dollar,
changing hearts, changing lives,
changing hands.

I'm susceptible to stars in the skies,
I'm incurably romantic,
if they're told to me all covered with sighs,
the wildest of lies seems true.
Each time a lovebird sings,
I have no defenses,
my heart is off on wings
along with my senses.
I'm a set-up for the moon when it's bright,
I'm incurably romantic.
And I shouldn't be allowed out at night,
with anyone quite like you.
But, oh! Your arms are nice,
and it would be awfully nice
if you turned out to be starry-eyed like me,
and incurably romantic too.

I'm susceptible to stars in the skies,
I'm incurably romantic,
if they're told to me all covered with sighs,
the wildest of lies seems true.
Each time a lovebird sings,
I have no defenses,
my heart is off on wings
along with my senses.
I'm a set-up for the moon when it's bright,
I'm incurably romantic.
And I shouldn't be allowed out at night,
with anyone quite like you.
But, oh! Your arms are nice,
and it would be awfully nice
if you turned out to be starry-eyed like me,
and incurably romantic too.

A fine romance ( Kem/ Fields)

A fine romance my good fellow.
You take romance, I'll take jello.
You' re calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean,
at least they flap their fins to express emotion.

A fine romance with no quarells,
with no insults and all morals,
I've never mussed the crease in your blue serge pants,
I never get the chance; this is a fine romance!

A fine romance with no kisses,
a fine romance my friends this is,
to lack half the thrills that a healthy crime has,
we don't have half the thrills that the march of time has.

A fine romance with no clinches,
a fine romance with no flinches,
you're just as hard to land as the Ile de France,
I haven't got a chance.
My heart isn't made of plastic, you're the reason I'm sarcastic; 'cause this is a fine fine romance!

He's not so good in a crowd but when you get him alone,
you'd be surprised.
He isn't much at a dance but then when he takes you home,
you'd be surprised.
He doesn't look like much of a lover,
don't judge a book by its cover,
'cause he's got the face of an angel but
there's a devil in his eye!
He's such a delicate thing but when he's starting to squeeze,
you'd be surprised.
He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee,
you'd be surprised.
At a party or at a ball,
I've got to admit he's nothing at all,
but in a Morris chair, you'd be surprised.
He doesn't say very much but when he's starting to speak,
you'd be surprised.
He's not so good at the start but at the end of the week,
you'd be surprised.
On a streetcar or in a train,
you'd think he was born without any brains.
But in a taxi cab, and when he starts to grab,
I say in a taxi cab, you'd be surprised.
This one's a real danger!

It was cold outside of Tiffany's, I was shivering in the storm.
I walked in and asked a gentleman "could I please keep warm?".
He asked me how come a baby doll has no comfy place to go,
so I told that kindly gentleman my tale of woe.
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy to keep her worry-free.
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy, but where's one for me?
Rich or poor, I don't care who.
If he hasn't got a million then a half will do.
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy.Could my da-daddy be you?
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy with silver in his hair.
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy who has some gold to spare.
Some sweet daddy who enjoys
bringing home to baby little diamond toys.
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy. Could my da-da-daddy be you?
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy, in case she runs aground
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy, to keep her safe and sound.
Yes we feel just like red riding hood,
Cos the wolves are awful hungry in the neighbourghhood
Oh every baby needs a da-da-daddy. Could my da-daddy be you?
Could my da-daddy be you?

When Mr South Wind sighs in the pines,
old Mr Winter whimpers and whines.
Down in the meadow, under the snow,
April is teaching green things to grow.
When Mr West Wind howls in a glade,
old Mr Summer nods in the shade.
Down in the meadow, deep in the brook,
catfish are waiting for the hook.
Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,
scarecrow is waving at the moon.
Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump, bump,
with the magic of June.
When Mr East Wind shouts over head,
then all the leaves turn yellow and red.
Down in the meadow corn stocks are high
pumpkins are ripe and ready for pie.
Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,
scarecrow's waving at the Moon.
Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump-bump
with the magic of June.
When Mr North Wind rolls on the breeze,
old father Christmas trims over trees.
Down in the meadow snow shoftly gleams
earth goes to sleep and smiles in her dreams.

I'll be in my room alone
every post meridian
and I'll read my diary
and that book by Mister Gideon.

Bye, bye, baby
remember you're my baby
when they give you the eye,
and just to show that I care
I will write and declare
that I'm on the loose
but I'm still on the square.

I've been lonely
but even though I'm lonely
there'll be no other guy.
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
with my baby by and by
with my baby by and by.

I'll be gloomy
but send that rainbow to me
then my shadows will fly.
Though you'll be gone fo a while
I know that I'll be smiling
with my baby by and by.

The French were bred to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
...Tiffany's ... Cartier...
Talk to me, Harry Winston,tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
And I think affairs that you must keep laconic
Are better bets if little pets get big baggettes
Time rolls on and youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's
Diamonds... Diamonds...
- I don't mean rhinestones -
But Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best Friends

That old black magic has me in a spell
Old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

The same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts to ride
Down and down I go round and round I go
Like a leaf that's caught in a tide

I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame
Aflame with burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire

For you're the lover I have waited for
You're the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Darling down and down I go round and round I go
In a spin loving the spin I'm in
Under that old black magic called love

Oh in a spin loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin loving the spin I'm
Under the old black magic called love

I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame
Aflame with burning desire
That only your kiss could put out the fire

For you're the lover I have waited for
You're the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Darling down and down I go round and round I go
In a spin loving the spin I'm in
Under that old black magic called love

Oh in a spin loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
Under the old black magic called love
Love, love, love, love

I got a fever
An inflammation
That's what I got
You turn the heat on me
Some like it hot

Look what you started
A conflagration
Baby, that's what
Don't let the flame go out
Some like it hot

Oh baby, I'm from that old school
I'll play it real cool
But when you kissed me
I lit up
like a four alarm fire

Call out the engine
Ring up the station
I'm on the spot
Love burns you up the most
Like it or not
But baby, I like it hot

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine food and haddie
I just adore, his asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, DAAAAD
So I want to warn you laddie
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
Cause my Daddy, he treats it so well
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To cook up some hot enchilada
Though Spanish rice is all very nice
My heart belongs to Daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, DAAAAD
So I want to warn you laddie
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
Cause my Daddy, he treats it so well
