1. Tonight Is So Right For Love
(Wayne - Silver- Lilly)
(Based on "G'schichten aus dem Wienerworld" by Johann Strauss)

Hold me tight
The moon is so bright
Tonight is so right for love

Now's the time to say
You'll be mine
Tonight is so right for love

One by one the stars appear
They twinkle in your eyes
Who'd believe that we'd be here
So near to paradise

This could be the kiss
To unlock heaven's door
That magic of our of bliss
That we both waited for
I love you more and more

But if we could fly right up to the sky
Do things we've been dreaming of
And how real they would seem
A midsummernight dream
Can't you see that tonight is so right for love

And how real they would seem
A midsummernight dream
Can't you see that tonight is so right for love

Hold me tight
The moon's so bright
Tonight is so right for love



2. What's She Really Like?
(Wayne - Silver)

What's she really like?
The girl that you see me with
What's she really like?
The one I'm so dreamy with
Well, let me tell you she's wonderful
She's marvellous and she's mine

Told here that her lips, her lips are so thrillable
I can't describe her kiss in words of one syllable
She's even more than adorable
And what's moreable she's all mine

You're asking if she loves me
Well, you don't know the half
You're wondering if she'll leave me
Ha, ha, ha, don't make me laugh

What's she really like
The girl I go on about
What's she really like
The one I'm so mad about
All I can say, she's wonderful
She's marvellous and she's mine

What's she really like
The girl I go on about
What's she really like
The one I'm so gone about
All I can say, she's wonderful
She's marvellous and she's mine
Adorable and she's mine
Marvellous and she's mine
Wonderful and she's mine

4. Wooden Heart (Muss i denn)
(Wise - Weisman - Twomey - Kaemfert)

Can't you see
I love you?
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice
Treat me good
Treat me like you really should
'Cause I'm not made of wood
And I don't have a wooden heart

Muss ich denn, muss ich denn
Zum Stadtele hinaus
Stadtele hinaus
Und du, mein schatz, bleibst hier?

There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Sei mir gut
Sei mir gut
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Wie du wirklich sollst
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart



5. G. I. Blues
(Tepper - Bennett)

They give us a room with a view of the beautiful Rhine
They give us a room with a view of the beautiful Rhine
Oh, gimmme a muddy ole creek in Texas any old time
I-ve got these hup, two, three, four occupation G. I. Blues
From my G. I. hair to the heels of my G. I. shoes
And if I don't go Stateside soon I'm gonna blow my fuse
We get hasenfeeffer and black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenfeeffer and black pumpernickel for chow
I'd blow my next month's pay for a slice of Texas cow
We'd like to be heroes, but all that we do here is march
We'd like to be heroes, but all that we do here is march
And they don't give the Purple Heart for a fallen arch
I-ve got these hup, two, three, four occupation G. I. Blues
From my G. I. hair to the heels of my G. I. shoes
And if I don't go Stateside soon I'm gonna blow my fuse
The frauleins are pretty as flowers but we can't make a pass, no
The frauleins are pretty as flowers but we can't make a pass, no
Cause they're all wearin' signs saying: "Keepen sie off the grass"
I-ve got these hup, two, three, four occupation G. I. Blues
From my G. I. hair to the heels of my G. I. shoes
And if I don't go Stateside soon I'm gonna blow my fuse
(Occupation G. I. Blues)
Occupation G. I. Blues
Occupation G. I. Blues
Howdy



6. Pocketful of Rainbows
(Wise - Weisman)

I don't worry
Whenever skies are grey above
Got a pocketful of rainbows
Got a heart full of love
Mister heartache
I've found a way to make him leave
Got a pocketful of rainbows
Got a star up my sleeve
Kiss me extra tender
Hold me extra tight
'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness
For a lonely night
Aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye
No more teardrops
Now that I've found a love so true
I got a pocketful of rainbows
Got an armful of you
Kiss me extra tender
Hold me extra tight
'Cause I'm savin' your sweetness
For a lonely night aye
Aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye
No more heartaches
Now that I've found a love so true
Got a pocketful of rainbows
And an armful of you
Rainbows ..............
Rainbows ..............
Rainbows

Hold me tight the moon's so bright
Tonight the night is right for love
As one by one the stars appear
I'll hold you oh so close my dear

That night of bliss we've waited for
Oh we could fly right up to the sky
How real it all seems to me
That summer night's dream to me
Can't you see that tonight's alright for love
Oh we could fly right up to the sky
How real it all seems to me
That summer night's dream to me
Can't you see that tonight's alright for love
