Rhapsody in Blue - George Gershwin

She got a tattoo of a bracelet on her wrist The love of strangers on her Christmas list She ain't sentimental, she don't like to reminisce She's a champion of action You ain't never heard her voice but that's all right 'Cause you ain't never seen her face before tonight But now you see her swaying to the left and to the right And it rocks your whole foundation See her spinning 'round Blond hair falling down You can hear the sound... Of your heart breaking From the love she's taking from you The song it's making Is like a rhapsody in blue Well you ain't never seen no aura in your life But you know her's is the color of the sky When she looks at you it kills you, when she turns away you die It's a tragic situation So you drink one down for courage, two for soul You drink a third for good luck, then you stroll Out onto the dance floor, but your feet are too damn cold And you need more insulation See her spinning 'round Blond hair falling down You can hear the sound... Oh, she don't love you Oh, she don't see you in the crowd Oh, if she did she would not want you anyhow Expectation lingers in the air The problem is that no one else is there Just the memory of your angel, all these ghosts in empty chairs Making comments 'bout the weather The taxi cab is waiting at the door You can hear the driver blowing on his horn So you close your eyes one last time, and you conjure up her form And you shake it down together See her spinning 'round Blond hair falling down You can hear the sound...

I want to have dinner with Gershwin I want to watch Rembrandt sketch I want to talk theory with Curie Impossible I guess I want to talk moods with Picasso On a rendezvous I want to fly double with Earhart I want to get next to you Next to you So close Just as close as I can get The rain of your worry Can't effect What I feel is what I feel One touch Of your greatness Is what I need My circle of fantasy Would be complete I want to sing hymns with Mahalia When the day is through I want to tell you about it I want to get next to you Next to you So close Just as close as I can get The rain of your worry Can't effect What I feel is what I feel One touch Of your greatness Is what I need My circle of fantasy Would be complete So close Just as close as I can get The rain of your worries Can't effect What I feel is what I feel One touch Of your greatness Is what I need My circle of fantasy Would be complete I want to have dinner with Gershwin I want to watch Rembrandt sketch I want to talk theory with Curie Impossible I guess...

Summertime And the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' And the cotton, the cotton is high Oh, your daddy, he's rich And your ma', she's good lookin' So hush, little baby Don't you cry One of these mornings You're gonna rise up singing You gonna spread your wings And take, and take to the sky Until that morning Ain't nothing can harm you With daddy (daddy) and mammy (mammy) standing by (oh, standing by) Standing by Standing by, little baby Standing by

There's a somebody I'm longing to see I hope that she turns out to be Someone who watch over me I'm a little lamb who's lost in the woods I know I could, could always be good To one who watch over me Although I may not be the man some girls think of As handsome but to her heart I'll carry the key Won't you tell her please To put on some speed? Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me Won't you tell her please To put on some speed? Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me
