------ **** ---- TWENTY Tracks for "CLAP HANDS HERE COMES CHARLIE" (Kunz) CD --------------------

Speranza


1. Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie

Clap hands, here comes Charlie now

 

2.1. SOME OF THESE DAYS you're gonna miss me, baby

some of these days you'll feel so lonely
you're gonna miss my huggin' you'll miss my kissin'
you may even miss me, baby when I'm gone away
you're gonna feel lonely and want me only
'cause you know, honey you always got your way
say baby if you really want me, oh yeah
you know it's gonna grieve me
you're gonna miss your boney little daddy
one of these days.

2.2. WITH A SONG IN MY HEART I behold your adorable face
just a song at the start but it soon is a hymn to your grace
when the music swells I'm touching your hand
it tells that your're standing near
and at the sound of your voice heaven opens its portals to me
can I help but rejoice that a song such as ours came to be
but I always knew that I could live life thru
WITH A SONG IN MY HEART for you.

2.3. NIGHT and DAY you are the one
only you beneath the moon and under the sun
whether near to me or far it's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you NIGHT and DAY
day and night why is it so that this longing for you follows wherever I go
in the roaring traffic's boom in the silence of my lonely room
I think of you NIGHT and DAY
NIGHT and DAY under the hide of me
there's a oh such hungry yearning burning inside of me
and its torment won't be thru 'til you let me spend my life making love to you
day and night NIGHT and DAY

3. (WITH VOCALS) the dew is hanging diamonds on the clover
the moon is list'n'ing to the nightingale
and while we're lost in dreams
the world around us seems
like a LOU'SIANA FAIRY TALE .
the breeze is softly singing thru the willows
as hand in hand we stroll along the trail
and love is at its height
enchanting us tonight
like a Lou'SIANA FAIRY TALE
is it real, this fascination
are my arms holding you fast
are we here on a plantation,
or can this be heaven at last
keep dreaming with your head upon my shoulder
and don't awake until the stars grow pale.
the world is at our feet, the picture is complete
like a Lou'siana FAIRY TALE
think of us together on a night like this the scent of sweet magnolia in the air shall we ever see another sight like this

4.1. YOU ARE MY LUCKY STAR I saw you from afar
two lovely eyes at me they were beamin' gleamin' I was star struck
you're all my lucky charms I'm lucky in your arms
you've opened heaven's portal  here on earth for this poor mortal
YOU ARE MY LUCKY STAR

4.2. I'VE GOT A FEELIN' YOU'RE FOOLIN'
I've got a feelin' you're havin' fun
I'll get a go by when you are done
Foolin' with me
I've got a feelin' you're foolin'
I've got a notion it's make believe
I think you're laughin' right up your sleeve
Foolin' with me
Life is worth living while you are giving
Moments of paradise
You're such a stand out, but how you hand out
The hocus pocus from your eyes
I've got a feelin' you're foolin' I
've got a feelin' it's all a frame
It's just the well known old army game
Foolin' with You.

(I've got a feelin' you're foolin' I've got a feelin' you're havin' fun) I'll get a go by when you are done Foolin' with me. I've got a feelin' you're foolin' I've got a notion it's make believe I think you're laughin' right up your sleeve Foolin' with me. Life is worth living while you are giving Moments of paradise. You're such a stand out, but how you hand out The hocus pocus from your eyes. I've got a feelin' you're foolin' I've got a feelin' it's all a frame It's just the well known old army game Foolin' with You. I've got a feelin', A feelin' you're foolin' Foolin'

5. 1. I sailed away to Treasure Island
and my heart stood still when I landed on the silvery shore
we met that day ON TREASURE ISLAND
and the smile you gave was the treasure I’d been craving for
then came those moments of bliss
in the shade of the sheltering palms
I still remember your kiss
as you nestled within my arms
I looked for gold ON TREASURE ISLAND
and I found that gold when you gave your golden love to me.

5.2. THANKS A MILLION  a million thanks to you
for everything that love could bring you brought me
each tender love-word you happened to say is hidden away
in memory's bouquet THANKS A MILLION for I remember too
the tenderness that your caresses taught me
you made a million dreams come true
and so I'm saying THANKS A MILLION to you

5.3.  I blow thru here THE MUSIC GOES ‘ROUND & AROUND

Whoa ho ho ho ho ho & it comes out here I push the first valve down

the music goes down and around

whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho

and it comes out here I push the middle valve down

the music goes down around below
below, below, deedle-dee-ho-ho-ho
listen to the jazz come out I push the other valve down
the music goes 'round and around
whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
and it comes out here

5.4. SOME OTHER TIME I could resist you, yes, SOME OTHER TIME not now
there is no rhyme, now that I've kissed you, with all that is me, I thee endow
Imagine me thinking you could never phase me the tricks my imagination plays me
you smile and this heart of mine betrays me you know it's so, let's take a vow, true love forever, not SOME OTHER TIME but now.

5.5. A LITTLE BIT INDEPENDENT--- in your walk

A LITTLE BIT INDEPENDENT --- in your talk

there's nothing like you in Paris  --- or New York

you're awfully easy on the eyes

A LITTLE BIT INDEPENDENT --- when we dance

A LITTLE BIT INDEPENDENT --- toward romance

a bit of sophistication in your glance

& yet you're easy on the eyes whenever I'm with you alone -- you weave a magic spell

& tho’ it be a danger zone -- I only know that you're swell
A LITTLE BIT INDEPENDENT
 --- with your smile
A LITTLE BIT INDEPENDENT
-- in your style
but how can I help but love you all the while
when you're so easy on the eyes


5. 6. GOOD NIGHT, SWEETHEART till we meet tomorrow
good night sweetheart, sleep will banish sorrow
tears and parting may make us forlorn
but with the dawn, a new day is born so I'll say
Good night sweetheart, tho' I'm not beside you
Good night sweetheart, still my love will guide you
Dreams enfold you, in each one I'll hold you
Good night sweetheart, good night

6. 1. SHE SHALL HAVE MUSIC wherever she goes with plenty of rhythm to tickle her toes Wherever she goes, she shall have music She shall have songbirds to sing her to sleep With plenty of dream birds to count up her sheep Awake or asleep, she shall have music And while she's dreaming I'll write a dream song And I'll be hoping that It will be our theme song She shall have church bells to ring out in rhyme So we can go marching in honeymoon time SHE SHALL HAVE MUSIC wherever she goes

6.2. ALONE AT A TABLE FOR TWO alone in our own rendezvous
the music is playing your favourite request
but I hear a blue note the band must have guessed
why I'm ALONE AT A TABLE FOR TWO
pretending I am waiting for you and even the flowers at your place have withered
they know that we're thru I'm ALONE AT A TABLE FOR TWO

7. RED SAILS IN THE SUNSET way out on the sea
o carry my loved one home safely to me
he sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue
RED SAILS IN THE SUNSET I'm trusting in you
swift wings you must borrow make straight for the shore
we marry tomorrow and she goes sailing no more

8.1. Your Heart and Mine

8.2. THE SCENE CHANGES I’m in a park in Paris But it’s so dark in Paris Because I’m away from you THE SCENE CHANGES I’m in a lane in London But there is rain in London Because I’m away from you I’ve been a fool to run away To say that I’ve done away with love Although the earth should swallow me Your face would follow me forever THE SCENE CHANGES My ship at last is home bound I’ll travel fast for I’ve found I’ll always belong to you.


8. 3. Supposing

9.1. heaven I'm in heaven and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

and I seem to find the happiness I seek

when we're out together dancing CHEEK TO CHEEK

heaven, I'm in heaven and the cares that hung around me thru the week

seem to vanish like a gamblers’ lucky streak

when we're out together dancing CHEEK TO CHEEK
o I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak

but it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing CHEEK TO CHEEK

o I love to go out fishing  in a river, or a creek

but I don't enjoy it half amuch  as dancing CHEEK TO CHEEK

dance with me I want my arm about you
that charm about you will carry me thru to…

9.2. By the Adriatic waters Venetian sons and daughters
Are strumming a new tune upon their guitars.
It was written by a Latin, a gondolier who sat in
His home out in Brooklyn and gazed at the stars.
He sent his melody across the sea to Italy,
And we know they wrote some words to fit that catchy bit
And christened it the Piccolino.
And we know that it's the reason why
Ev'ryone this season is strumming and humming a new melody.
Come to the Casino and hear them play the Piccolino.
Dance with your bambino to the strains of the catchy Piccolino.
Drink your glass of Vino, and when you've had your plate of Scallopino,
Make them play the Piccolino, the catchy Piccolino.
And dance to the strains of that new melody, the Piccolino.

9.3. I just got an invitation through the mails:
"Your presence requested this evening, it's formal
A top hat, a white tie and tails"
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails
Because I'm invited to step out this evening
With top hat, white tie and tails
I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
Brushin' off my tails
I'm dudein' up my shirt front
Puttin' in the shirt studs
Polishin' my nails
I'm steppin' out, my dear
To breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class
And I trust that you'll excuse my dust when I step on the gas
For I'll be there
Puttin' down my top hat
Mussin' up my white tie
Dancin' in my tails


10.1. Altho' our love affair has gone astray NO REGRETS
I know I'll always care though you're away
so now our happy romance ended suddenly
still in my heart you'll be forever mine
NO REGRETS because somebody new looks good to you
NO REGRETS sweetheart no matter what you say or do
I know our love will linger
when the other love forgets
so I say goodbye with no regrets NO REGRETS
because somebody new looks good to you
no regrets sweetheart no matter what you say or do
I know our love will linger when the other love forgets
so I say goodbye with NO REGRETS

10.2. WHEN THE POPPIES BLOOM AGAIN
I'll remember you
there beside the River Seine
where we kissed anew
when you told me not to cry
held me tenderly
but that kiss was our goodbye
you are gone from me
my lonely footsteps stray
where you must ever stay
I place a sweet bouquet
my token of love
darling till we meet again I'll be ever true
WHEN THE POPPIES BLOOM AGAIN
I'll remember you.

10.3.This'll make you whistle

10.4. A star fell out of heaven, right into my arms A star fell out of heaven, right into my dreams And since that very moment, life is so divine I never heard a star speak before This one said : "Will you be mine ?" *Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you, There was I, all alone, gazing at a friendless sky How could I help but sigh, romance had passed me by There was I, all alone, my heart was sadly neglected Then love came along so unexpectedly, for me


10.5. SERENADE IN THE NIGHT 'neath a fair lady's window, Just the same serenade That I tenderly played On a night long ago. There were stars in the sky And I sang 'neath the roses, But she gave not a sigh That she'd ever be mine And my love story closes. Oh! why must the south wind be brining it? Oh! why must my heart keep on singing it? Serenade in the night From the past comes to haunt me, When I hear that refrain, Oh! my heart aches again For the lost love of mine.

10.6. A FINE ROMANCE with no kisses.
A fine romance, my friend, this is.
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes.
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes.
A fine romance, you won't nestle.
A fine romance, you won't wrestle.
I've never mussed a crease in your blue serge pants.
I never had the chance.
This is a fine romance.
A fine romance, my good fellow.
You take romance. I'll take Jell-o.
You're calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean.
At least they flap their fins to express emotion.
A fine romance, with no quarrels,
With no insults, and all the morals.
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France.
I never get the chance.
This is a fine romance.
A fine romance, with no kisses.
A fine romance, my friend, this is.
True love should have 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 pinches.
You never give the orchids I send a glance.
No, you like cactus plants.
This is a fine romance.


11.   (VOCAL BY VERA LYNN)
A STAR FELL OUT OF HEAVEN right into my arms
A STAR FELL OUT OF HEAVEN  right into my dreams
and since that very moment life is so divine
I never heard a star speak before
this one said will you be mine
then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet
and dew rained down from heaven to christen the day
a miracle had happened, as they sometimes do
A STAR FELL OUT OF HEAVEN and turned out to be you
there was I, all alone, gazing at a friendless sky
how could I help but sigh, romance had passed me by
there was I, all alone, my heart was sadly neglected
then love came along so unexpectedly, for me

12. 1. I'M PUTTING ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET
I've been a roaming Romeo
my Juliets have been many
but now my roaming days have gone
too many irons in the fire
is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:
I'M PUTTING ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET
I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you
I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through
I've got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey and I've decided Love divided In two Won't do so
I'M PUTTING ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET
I'm betting everything I've got on you
 I've been a roaming Juliet
My Romeos have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you
I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through
I've tried to love more than one
Finding it just can't be done
Honey There's one I lie to When I try to Be true To two -- so
I'M PUTTING ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET
I'm betting everything I've got on you
12.. 2. vocals for
"Let's face the music and dance"
12. 3. I'd rather lead a  band

13.1. THERE'S A SMALL HOTEL with a wishing well
I wish that we were there together there's a bridal suite
one room bright and neat complete for us to share together
looking through the window You can see a distant steeple
not a sign of people – who wants people when the steeple bell says
good night, sleep well, we'll thank the small hotel together
pretty window curtains made of chince s/b  chintz in a make believe land
on the wall are several cheerful prints of Grant and Grover Cleveland
look out into the parlor and feast your eyes on the moose head on the wall
perhaps you’d like to play the organ they tune it every other fall.
when the steeple bell says good night sleep well
we'll thank the small hotel we'll creep into our little shell
and we will thank the small hotel together
I'd like to get away, Junior somewhere alone with you It could be oh, so gay, Junior You need a laugh or two
A certain place I know, Frankie Where funny people can have fun That's where the two will go, Darling
Before you can count up One, two, three. For ...

13.2. I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN I've got you deep in the heart of me
so deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
I'd tried so not to give in, I said to myself this affair never will go so well.
but why should I try to resist when baby I know down well
I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
I'd sacrifice anything come what might for the sake of havin' you near
in spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night and repeats, repeats in my ear
don't you know you fool you never can win 
use your mentality wake up to reality but each time that I do just the tho't of you
makes me stop before I begin 'cos I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN

13.3. I sing when I'm talking I dance when I'm walking And oh, how lovely it feels Just to be To be To be HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE Can't sleep a wink, and I Can't even think, and I Miss about half of my meals 'Cause I fell I fell I fell Head over heels in love Every night I'm the mooniest one The Juniest one The looniest one Love made me the crooniest one Spring has sprung Oh tra-la-la My heart is a-flutter I stammer and stutter I s-s-suppose it reveals That I am I am I am High in the heavens above HEAD OVER HEELS in love

13.4. every time it rains it rains PENNIES FROM HEAVEN
don't you know each cloud contains PENNIES FROM HEAVEN
you'll find them falling all over town
be sure that your umbrella is upside down
trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
if you want the things you love you must have showers
so when you hear it thunder don't run under a tree
there'll be PENNIES FROM HEAVEN for you and me

13.5 Who loves you?

13.5. trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
if you want the things you love you must have showers
so when you hear it thunder don't run under a tree
there'll be PENNIES FROM HEAVEN for you and me.

14. 1. I'm foolish, I'm silly I'm absolutely daft As a sailor on a sea of love I don't know half of half Admit it, I'll have to Almost without defence And here's the proof I'm a silly goof Without a grain of common sense
I NEARLY LET LOVE GO SLIPPING THRU MY FINGERS
Oh yes, I did, I know I did Like golden sand, right through my hand But I woke in time And I saved my prize Yet though love is mine I tremble when I realise I nearly let love go slipping through my fingers Oh, yes I did, foolishly For without love, where in this world would I be? For without love, Where in this world would I be?

14.2. (vocal by Vera Lynn)
It's LOVE AGAIN

14.3. Tony's in town again.

15.1. I saw the HARBOUR LIGHTS they only told me we were parting
the same old HARBOUR LIGHTS that once brought you to me
I watched the HARBOUR LIGHTS
how could I help if tears were starting
goodbye to tender nights beside the silv'ry sea
I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more
but you were on the ship and I was on the shore
now I know lonely nights
for all the while my heart is whisp'ring
some other HARBOUR LIGHTS  will steal your love from me
I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more
but you were on the ship and I was on the shore
now I know lonely nights
for all the while my heart is whisp'ring
some other HARBOUR LIGHTS will steal your love from me

15.2 .THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE AIR that wants me to beware tonight
There's something in the air there's music in the breezeI never saw the stars so bright
There's something in the air
Though I find there's danger in your eyes
That's real as you, I've been blind
But now I realize what love can do
I feel it everywhere
So whisper you'll be mine tonight
There's something in the air

16. I'M IN A DANCING MOOD a gay romancing mood, Whenever I'm with you! The music seems brighter, My trouboles are lighter too, When I'm with you! I'm in a merry mood, A light and airy mood, Whenever you are near! I feel like a feather When we are dancing together, dear, So let me hear; I want to hear a rhythm that has a trick in it, Hot music that's got a kick in it! It's really heavenly, The way you follow me, You seem to know my mood; You know how to chime in When I'M IN A DANCING MOOD


 17.1 . Love walked right in, and drove the shadows away
Love walked right in, and brought my sunniest day
One magic moment, and my heart seemed to know - that love said hello
Though not a word was spoken
One look, and I'd forgot the gloom of the past
One look, and I had found my future at last
One look, and I had found a world completely new
When LOVE WALKED IN with you

17.2. SO LITTLE TIME

17. 3. "Fall in love, fall in love", SAYS MY HEART
"It's romance, take a chance",  SAYS MY HEART
But each time that I'm almost in your arms
This old school teacher brain of mine
Keeps ringing in false alarms
Then my head rolls instead and I'm wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So I kiss and run but the moment we're apart
"Oh, you fool, that was love", says my heart
Says my heart, it says for me to fall in love, my heart
It also says for me to take a chance, take a chance
Oh my heart, it speaks to the rhythm of the beat
"Don't be a fool", it says to me
Each time I'm in your arms
This heart of mine rings false alarms
"Fall in love, fall in love", says my heart
"Honey, it's romance, take a chance", says my heart
But each time that I'm almost in your arms
This old school teacher brain of mine
Keeps ringing in false alarms
Then my head rolls me instead
So I kiss and then I run away
I'll come back some other day
"Oh, you fool, that was love", says my heart
Now that I am in love, I know you love me
That I should have my heart to answer for me
And it will say to me to fall, to fall in love with you
"Don't be a fool", says my heart

18.1. LIFE IS EMPTY WITHOUT LOVE

18.2. MAN OF MY DREAMS

18.3. SKY HIGH HONEYMOON.

19.1. FOOLS RUSH IN where angels fear to tread
and so I come to you my love my heart above my head
tho' I see the danger there if there's a chance for me then I don't care
FOOLS RUSH IN where wise men never go
but wise men never fall in love so how are they to know
when we met I felt my life begin so open up your heart and let this fool rush in

19.2 . I CAN’T LOVE YOU ANY MORE
any more than I do
for if I loved you any more
I would have to be two
I love you with my heart
I love you with my mind
I love you, love you, love you
all there is I find
so I CAN'T LOVE YOU ANY MORE
any more than I do

 20. Boa Noite (Good Night)
