Call
Me Irresponsible
Call me irresponsible - call me unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibis bore you
Well I'm not too clever - I just adore you
Call me unpredictable - tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible - yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true - I'm irresponsibly mad for you
Call
of the Canyon
Just a melancholy echo ling'ring when the day is through,
It's the call of the canyon, once again I'm dreaming of you.
Every night I search the moonlight up and down the river shore,
It's the call of the canyon, maybe I will find you once more.
Standing there alone by the ashes of the fire we said would never die,
Will I ever find an ember burning from the days gone by.
Then I hear a lonely whisper as a little spark I see,
It's the call of the canyon, bringing back your answer to me.
Can I Steal a Little Love
Can I steal a little love
Can I steal a little love
Coo me honey I'm on fire
To steal your love is my desire
Hug me, squeeze (kiss) me, 'til I'm red
'Til my eyes bug out my head
Coo me, woo me, turtle dove
Can I steal (grab) a little love
(Please) Tell me, why are you driving me crazy
(And) Why do I dig you like I do
If I should steal a little kiss - and you can prove that it's (it was) wrong
(Hey/Honey) I'll give it back to you
Tell me honey with a smile
I can walk (will lead) you down the isle
I won't even need a shove
Can I steal (grab) a little love
Cheek to Cheek
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 through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
(Come on and) Dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That (Those) charm(s) about you
Will carry me through...
(Right up) To 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, out together dancing (swinging)
Out together dancing cheek to cheek
Chicago
Chicago, Chicago that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago I'll show you around - I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down
On State Street that great street I just want to say
They do things that they don't do on Broadway - say
They have the time the time of their life
I saw a man and he danced with his wife
In Chicago, my home town
The Christmas Waltz
Frosted windowpanes
Candies gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say,
"Merry Christmas,
May your New Year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
the same thing, too
Close to You
Close to you - I will always stay
Close to you - though you're far away
You'll always be near - as though you were here
By my side
No matter where - in my dreams, I'll find you there
Close to me - sharing your caress
Can't you see - you're my happiness
Where ever you go - my heart will go too
What can I do
It only wants to be - close to you
The Coffee Song
Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You can't get cherry soda
'Cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say no no no
The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
Come Blow Your Horn
Make like a Mister Milquetoast - and you'll get shutout
Make like a Mister Meek - and you'll get cut out
Make like a little lamb - and wham you're shorn
I tell you chum - it's time to come - blow your horn
Make like a Mister Mumbles - and you're a zero
Make like a Mister Big - they dig a hero
You've got to sound your "A" - the day you're born
I tell you chum - it's time to come - blow your horn
The taller the tree is - the sweeter the peach
I'll give you the whole magilla - in a one word speech - reach
Make like the world's your pudding - but light the brandy
Even the mildest kiss - is a dan-dan-dandy
There'll be no love in bloom - come doomsday morn
I tell you chum - it's time to come - blow your horn
In civilized jungles - females adore
The lions who come on swinging - if you want to score - roar
You can be either read to - or be the reader
You can be either lead - or be the leader
Don't wait until you're told - you're old and worn
Take in some air - and get your lips puckered
Before you find - you're simply too tuckered
I tell you chum - it's time to come - blow your horn
Come Fly with Me
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use, some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, we'll float down in the blue
Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry eyed
Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near
You may hear, angels cheer - because were together
Weatherwise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words, and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away
Come Rain or Come Shine
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
Come Waltz with Me
Before we say good-bye forever
Come waltz with me, come waltz with me - once more
Before we let love die forever
Come waltz with me, the way we waltzed - before
Before our little world, just crumbled and fell
And tumbled, like a house of cards - to the floor
Before I'm left to sigh forever
And haunt the past - give me this last - encore
Oh darling come and waltz with me - once more
A Cottage for Sale
A little dream castle
With every dream gone
Is lonely and silent
The shades are all drawn
And my heart is heavy
As I gaze upon
A cottage for sale
The lawn we were proud of
Is waving in hay
A beautiful garden
Has withered away
Where you planted roses
The weeds seem to say
A cottage for sale
From every single window
I see your face
But when I reach the window
There's empty space
The key's in the mailbox
The same as before
But no one is waiting
For me anymore
The end of our story
Is there on the door
A cottage for sale
Cycles
So I'm down and so I'm out
But so are many others
So I feel like tryin' to hide
My head 'neath these covers
Life is like the seasons
After winter comes the spring
So I'll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings
I've been told and I believe
That life is meant for livin'
And even when my chips are low
There's still some left for givin'
I've been many places
Maybe not as far as you
So I think I'll stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true
There isn't much that I have learned
Through all my foolish years
Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles
First there's laughter, then those tears
But I'll keep my head up high
Although I'm kinda tired
My gal just up and left last week
Friday I got fired
You know it's almost funny
But things can't get worse than now
So I'll keep on tryin' to sing
But please, just don't ask me how
