----- ****** ------ twenty tracks for "THE FELLER THAT PLAYED THE PIANNER" (Kunz)

Speranza



1. MISTY ISLANDS OF THE HIGHLANDS That’s where this heart of mine forever longs to be MISTY ISLANDS OF THE HIGHLANDS Homeland of memories where the heather meets the sea Lone crofter’s cabin that beckons from the glen Sweet voice that’s singing “Will ye no come back again” MISTY ISLANDS OF THE HIGHLANDS That’s where this heart of mine forever longs to be.


2. RED SAILS IN THE SUNSET way out on the sea
oh 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

3. Two Shadows In The Moonlight

4. The Army Fell For Little Isobel  


5.1. 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

5. 2. there may be trouble ahead
but while there's moonlight and music
& love and romance
LET’S FACE THE MUSIC & DANCE
before the fiddlers have fled
before they ask us to pay the bill
& while we still have the chance
LET’S FACE THE MUSIC & DANCE
soon we'll be without the moon humming a diff'rent tune
and then there may be teardrops to shed
so while there's moonlight & music and love and romance
LET’S FACE THE MUSIC & DANCE.

5. 3. I'd Rather Lead A Band 

6. I Breathe On Windows

7.  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.

14.  3 At any gambling casino
From Monte Carlo to Reno,
They tell you that a beginner
Comes out a winner.
Beginner fishing for flounder
Will catch a seventeen pounder;
That's what I've always heard
And always thought absurd,
But now I believe every word!

For I've got beginner's luck;
The first time I'm in love
I'm in love with you,
Gosh I'm lucky!

I've got beginner's luck;
There never was such a smile
Or such eyes of blue,
Gosh I'm fortunate!

This thing we've begun
Is much more than a pastime,
For this time is the one
Where the first time is the last time!

I've got beginner's luck,
Lucky through and through,
For the first time that I'm in love,
I'm in love with you!

I've got beginner's luck;
The first time I'm in love
I'm in love with you,
Gosh I'm lucky!

I've got beginner's luck;
They told me beginners win,
Now I know it's true,
Gosh I'm fortunate!

This thing we've begun
Is much more than a pastime,
For this time is the one
Where the first time is the last time!

I've got beginner's luck,
Lucky through and through,
For the first time that I'm in love,
I'm in love with you!

14. 4
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely, never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
Cause I love you, just the way you look tonight.

Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Just the way you look to-night.
14. 5

Now nothing's impossible, I've found for when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again.
Don't lose your confidence if you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up, dust off, start over again.
Work like a soul inspired until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired, but you be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men who have to fall to rise again,
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, start all over again.
(musical interlude)
You gotta work like a soul inspired until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired, but you be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men who have to fall and then to rise again,
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.
(musical interlude)
Once again now:
Will you remember the famous men who have to fall and then rise again,
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.
(coda)
That's enough now.

14. 6 Bojangles Of Harlem 

15. The Feller That Played The Pianner

16. 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 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 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…

16. 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.

16 3 Top Hat White Tie And Tails

16 4 Isn't This A Lovely Day

16.5. 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 CHEEK TO CHEEK
HEAVEN I'M IN HEAVEN
and he cares that hung around me thru the week
seem to vanish like a gamblers’ lucky streak
WHEN WE’RE OUT TOGETHER 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…


17.  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

18. DID YOUR MOTHER COME FROM IRELAND
cos’ there's something in you Irish
will you tell me where you get those Irish eyes
& before she left Killarney
did your mother kiss the Blarney
cos’ your little touch of brogue you can't disguise.
o I wouldn't be romancin’
I can almost see you dancin’
where the Kerry pipers play
sure & maybe we’ll be sharin’
in the sham-rock you’ll be wearin’
on the next St Patrick's day

DID YOUR MOTHER COME FROM IRELAND
cos' there's something in you Irish
and that bit of Irish steals my heart away
19. 1 Life Is Empty Without Love

19 2 Man Of My Dreams

19. 3 Sky High Honeymoon 

 20.1. I NEARLY LET LOVE GO SLIPPING THRU MY FINGERS
I nearly let love go slipping through 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?
I'm foolish, I'm silly/'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

20  2 It's Love Again

20. 3. Tony's In Town
