Old Black Magic

Old black magic has me in its spell
Old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine
Same old tingle that I feel inside
Then the elevator starts it ride
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
Like a leaf caught in a tide
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I’m a flame
Flame, flame of desire
Only your kiss can put out the fire
Oh you’re the lover I have waiting for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, lovin‘ the spin I’m in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin lovin‘ the spin I’m in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin lovin‘ the spin I’m in
Under the old black magic called love
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I’m a flame
Flame, flame of desire
Only your kiss can put out the fire
Oh you are the lover I have waited for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, lovin‘ the spin I’m in
Under the old black magic called love

Wonderful World

Don’t know much about history
Don’t know much biology
Don’t know much about a science book,
Don’t know much about the french I took

But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be

Don’t know much about geography,
Don’t know much trigonometry
Don’t know much about algebra,
Don’t know what a slide rule is for

But I do know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you,
What a wonderful world this would be

Now, I don’t claim to be an „A“ student,
But I’m tryin‘ to be
For maybe by being an „A“ student, baby,
I can win your love for me

Don’t know much about history,
Don’t know much biology
Don’t know much about a science book,
Don’t know much about the french I took

But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be

History
Biology
Science book
French I took
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be

You´re Driving Me Crazy

You, you’re driving me crazy!
What did I do?
What did I do?

My tears for you make everything hazy
Clouding the skies of blue

How true
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe, me they knew
But you
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me
When I needed you

Yes you, you’re driving me crazy!
What did I do to you?

What A Wonderul World

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They’re really saying I love you

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world

Sweet Georgia Brown

No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh so neat, has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I’ll tell you just why, you know I don’t lie not much

It’s been said she knocks ‚em dead when she lands in town
Since she came why it’s a shame how she cools them down
Fellas she can’t get must be fellas she ain’t met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her Sweet Georgia Brown

No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia brown
Two left feet, oh so neat, has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I’ll tell you just why, you know I don’t lie not much

All those gifts, those courters give to Sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows with one dollar down
Oh boy, tip your hat, oh joy, she’s the cat
Who’s that, mister? It ain’t a sister, Sweet Georgia Brown

Summertime

Summertime, and the livin‘ is easy
Fish are jumpin‘ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich and your ma is good-lookin‘
So hush, little baby, don’t you cry

One of these mornings you’re gonna rise up singing
And you’ll spread your wings and you’ll take to the sky
But till that morning, there ain’t nothin‘ can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin‘ by

One of these mornings you’re gonna rise up singing

Summertime, and the livin‘ is easy
Fish are jumpin‘ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich and your ma is good-lookin‘
So hush, little baby, don’t you cry

Someone To Watch Over Me

There’s a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we’re often told
„Seek and ye shall find“
So I’m going to seek
A certain lad
I’ve had in mind

Looking everywhere
Haven’t found him yet
He’s the big affair
I cannot forget
Only man I ever think
Of with regret

I’d like
To add his initial
To my monogram
Tell me
Where is the shepherd
For this lost lamb?

There’s a somebody
I’m longin‘ to see
I hope that he turns
Out to be
Someone to watch over me

I’m a little lamb
Who’s lost in the wood
I know I could
Always be good
To one
Who’ll watch over me

Although he may
Not be the man some
Girls think
Of as handsome
To my heart
He carries the key

Won’t you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Won’t you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me

Sunny

Sunny
Yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny
You smiled at me and really eased the pain
Now the dark days are gone, and the bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny
Thank you for the sunshine bouquet
Sunny
Thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel ten feet tall
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny
Thank you for the truth you let me see
Sunny
Thank you for the facts from A to Z
My life was torn like wind-blown sand
And a rock was formed when you held my hand (oh, sunny)
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny
Thank you for the smile upon your face
Hmm, sunny
Thank you, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace
You’re my spark of nature’s fire
You’re my sweet complete desire
Sunny one so true, yes, I love you

Sunny
Yesterday, all my life was filled with rain
Sunny
You smiled at me and really-really eased the pain
Now the dark days are gone, and the bright days are here (oh, sunny)
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you

I love you (sunny)
I love you (sunny)
Signin‘ I love you (sunny)
Yes, I love you (sunny)

Shine

Cause my hair is curly
Just because my teeth are pearly
Just because I always wear a smile
Like to dress up in the latest style

Cause I’m glad I’m livin‘
I take these troubles all with a smile
Just because my color’s shady,
That’s the difference, maybe, why they call me

Shine, sway your blues’ies.
Why don’t you shine?
Start with your shoes’ies.
Shine each place up, make it look like new.
Shine your face up, I want to see you wear a smile or two.

Why don’t you shine your these and thoseies?
You’ll find everything gonna turn out right fine
Folks will shine up to ya‘
Everybody’s gonna howdy doody do-ya‘
You’ll make the whole world shine

Oh chocolate drop, that’s me…

Cause my hair is curly, (man’s got curly hair)
Now just because my teeth are pearly, (also got pearly teeth)
Just because I always wear a smile, (oh keep on smiling)
Like to dress us, babe, in the latest style.

Cause I’m glad I’m livin‘
I take these troubles all with a smile
Now just because my color’s shady (you’s a shady baby)
That’s the difference, maybe, why they call me…

Shine away your blues’ies
Shine, start with your shoes’ies
You’ll make the whole world shine

Sentimental Journey

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

I got my bag, i got my reservation
Spent each dime i could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
I long to hear that: „all aboard!“

Seven, that’s the time we leave – at seven
I’ll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track – that moves me back

I never though my heart could be so yearny
Why did i decide to roam
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
