70. Ghost Of A Chance (I Don’t Stand A)

   Bing Crosby & Ned Washington & Victor P. Young

I need your love so badly
I love you, oh, so madly
But I don’t stand
A ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I’d found you
But other loves surround you
And I don’t stand
A ghost of a chance with you

If you’d surrender
Just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover
That I’m the lover meant for you
And I’d be true

But what’s the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
For I don’t stand
A ghost of a chance with you

(bridge)

If you’d surrender
Just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover
That I’m the lover meant for you
And I’d be true

But what’s the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
For I don’t stand
A ghost of a chance
With you

 

2nd version

I need your love so badly
I love you, oh, so madly
But I don’t stand
A ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I’d found you
But other loves surround you
And I don’t stand
A ghost of a chance with you

If you’d surrender
Just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover
That I’m the lover meant for you
And I’d be true

But what’s the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
For I don’t stand
A ghost of a chance with you

If you’d surrender
Just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover
That I’m the lover meant for you
And I’d be true

But what’s the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
For I don’t stand
A ghost of a chance
With you

69. Getting Some Fun Out Of Life

Edgar Leslie & Joseph A. Burke

When we want to love we love
When we want to kiss we kiss
With a little petting we’re getting
Some fun out of life

When we want to work we work
When we want to play we play
In a happy setting we’re getting
Some fun out of life

Maybe we do the right things
Maybe we do the wrong
Spending each day
Just wending our way along

When we want to sing we sing
When we want to dance we dance
You can do your betting we’re getting
Some fun out of life

(bridge)

Maybe we do the right things
Maybe we do the wrong
Spending each day
Just wending our way along

But when we want to sing we sing
When we want to dance we dance
You can do your betting we’re getting
Some fun out of life

 

68. Georgia On My Mind (1930)

lyrics: Stuart Gorrell

music: Hoagy Carmichael

Georgia
Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia
Georgia
No peace I find
Just and old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
(bridge)
Georgia
Georgia
No peace I find
Just and old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

No peace I find
Just and old sweet song

Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

67. Gee, Baby, Ain’t I Good To You?

Andy Razaf & Don Redman

What makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you
There’s nothing in this world
Too good for guy that’s good and true
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you

Gave you my money
Diamond ring
Big Cadillac car and everything
It’s love that makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you

What makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you
There’s nothing in the world
Too good for guy that’s good and true
Hey, baby, ain’t I good to you

Gave you my money
A diamond ring
Big Cadillac car and everything
It’s love that makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you

 

2nd version

What makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you
There’s nothing in the world
Too good for girl that’s good and true
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you

Bought you a fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring
A big Cadillac car and everything
It’s love that makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you

(long bridge)

What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you
There’s nothing in the world
Too good for guy that’s good and true
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you

Fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring
Big Cadillac car and everything
There’s nothing in the world
That I wouldn’t do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you

What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you
There’s nothing in the world
Too good for girl that’s good and true
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you

Fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring
Big Cadillac car and everything
It’s love that makes me treat you
The way I do
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you
Gee, baby, ain’t I good to you
