1. Frankie and Johnny
(Gottlieb / Karger / Weisman)

Frankie and me we were lovers
Oh Lordy how we did love
Swore we'd be true to each other
Just as true as stars above
I was her man, she caught me doing her wrong.

My luck in poker was fading
When a new gal caught my eye
I gambled, I tried to change my luck
With a chick named Nellie Bly
I was Frankie's man but I was doing her wrong.

Well! Frankie came looking to find me
Yes, she wasn't lookin' for fun
For in her sweet lovin' hand
She was totin' a 44 gun
To shoot her man 'cause he was doin' her wrong

Well Frankie looked into the bar room
And right there in front of her eye
There was her lovin' Johnny
Makin' love to that Nellie Bly
I was her man, she caught me doing her wrong.

Yeah, Frankie, I beg, please don't shoot me
Well they'll put you away in a cell
You know they'll put your where the cold wind blows
From the hottest corner of hell
I am your man, I know I done you wrong.

Yeah please roll me over real easy
Please roll me over real slow
Roll me over real gently
'Cause my wound hurts me so
I was her man
But I done her wrong

Well now Frankie and Johnny
Well this is the end of my song
I was her man, and I done her wrong
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Done her wrong



2. Come Along
(Hess)

Come along, come along, there's a full moon shinin' bright
Come along, come along, we're gonna hit St. Louis tonight
Spend your money lookin' at the chorus line
Spend your money, win it on the number 9
Take your sweetheart even though she's never been
If she's worried tell her that you always win
Come along, come along, there's a full moon shinin' bright
Come along, come along, you're gonna win a fortune tonight

Hear the whistle, lady luck's about to go
Is she smilin', maybe yes or maybe no
Now's the time when nights are filled with sweet romance
Don't be bashful step on up and take a chance
Come along, come along, there's a full moon shinin' bright
Come along, come along, we're gonna hit St. Louis tonight

Come along, come along, we're gonna win a fortune tonight



3. Petunia The Gardener's Daughter
(Sid Tepper / Roy Bennett)

I've gotta gal, oh what a pal
The apple of my eye
We're something rare, a peach of a pear
But her dad won't let us meet and I could die

I love Petunia the gardener's daughter
Oooh how that gal can kiss
Her eyes are blue as bluebells
Each cheek a rose to see
How I dance when she plants her two lips on me
I'm as daffy as a daffodil
I long to kiss her all the time
Tonight I'll steal into her garden
And make Petunia's two lips mine

(I've got a beau, I love him so
The apple of my eye
We're something rare, a peach of a pear
But my dad won't let us meet and I could die)

And we could die

I love Petunia the gardener's daughter
Oooh how that gal can kiss
(My eyes are blue as bluebells
Each cheek a rose to see)
How I dance when she plants her two lips on me

(He's as daffy as a daffodil
He loves to kiss me all the time)
Tonight I'll steal into her garden
And make Petunia's two lips mine

She makes other girls look just like weeds
(I wanna be his clinging vine)
Tonight I'll steal into her garden
And make Petunia's two lips
(My ever loving two lips)
Make Petunia's two lips mine



4. Chesay
(Karger / Weisman / Wayne)

What's in the drink, chase the devil away
Magic I think so just say Chesay
Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way

Trouble is my middle name, though it's such a cryin' shame
Try and try there's nothing I can do
But I'm feelin' kinda strange, feel like things are gonna change
Time my lucky star was shining through
Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way

Drink a cup of gypsy love just tip it up and then you just say Chesay
Swallow once then swallow twice, goes down so nice just say Chesay. Hey!

Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way
Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way
Chesay



5. What Every Woman Lives For
(Pomus / Shuman)

She may say she needs fancy bangles and beads
That's part of a woman's plan
But what every woman lives for
What every woman lives for
Is to give her love to a man

Wise men have known women can't live alone
So a woman should understand
That what ev'ry woman lives for
What every woman lives for
Is to give her love to her man

He may not be the kind you find in picture books
A real live hero with dashing handsome looks
He may not be the guy that you've been dreaming of
But that won't stop you from giving him your love

So dear, can't you see that it was meant to be
It's part, part of our destiny
'Cos what ev'ry woman lives for
What ev'ry woman lives for
Is to give her love to a man
And I hope that man is me (Oo-oo, Oo-oo)



6. Look Out Broadway
(Wise / Starr)

We never got discouraged, we never had a doubt
'Cos sooner or later talent must win out
Look out Broadway, we're comin' fast
Now we're gonna see our names in lights at last
(No more hot dogs and Sloppy Joe's)
We're gonna dine on steak and wine at Del Monaco's
(Rich or poor it's great to have dough
That's one thing we know)
Lots of fun, lots of laughs
(Signing cheques and contracts and autographs)
We're off to N-E-W Y-O-R-K
Look out, look out Broadway

(I wanna see all the hustle and bustle)
Maybe I can get a date with Lilian Russell
(I wanna to go out with Diamond Jim
Yeh, if he gives you a diamond what will you give to him?)
Blow the trumpets and beat on the drum
Big town here we come
(No more cheap hotels and one night stands
We'll knock Tin Pan Alley flat on its pan)
They'll see that we've got class with a capital K
Look out, look out Broadway
Look out!



7. Beginner's Luck
(Tepper / Bennett)

First time I fell in love
I fell in love with you
First time I dared to dream
My only dream came true

Must be beginner's luck
To wish upon a star
That open up my eyes
And there you are

I wave no magic wand
I own no lucky charms
How then can I explain
An angel in my arms?
Must be beginner's luck
What else can it be?
When someone wonderful as you
Loves me



8. Down By The Riverside And When The Saints Come Marching In
(Giant / Baum / Kaye)

Let's snap our fingers clap our hands
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Let's give 'em what the song demands
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside

We'll hear them play and keep that beat
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Let's get together what a treat
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside

Strike up the band, start the parade (down by the riverside)
Don't let that grand ol' rhythm fade (down by the riverside)
Just play that song, play that number (down by the riverside)
When the saints come marching in

Shake tambourines, play that cornet (down by the riverside)
That trumpet horn you won't forget (down by the riverside)
Your heart will hum to that number (down by the riverside)
When the saints come marching in

The cymbals clang, just pound that beat (down by the riverside)
Sounds like a hundred marchin' feet (down by the riverside)
It's fun to join in that number (down by the riverside)
When the saints come marchin' in

See banners wave, oh hear that ring (down by the riverside)
We all feel prouder than a king (down by the riverside)
'Cos ev'ryone, ev'ryone loves that number (down by the riverside)
When the saints come marching in



9. Shout It Out
(Giant / Baum / Kaye)

Everybody listen to me
Put a smile on your face
There's no reason to be gloomy
This world's a wonderful place
So let me say get happy
Shout it out
Yeh, get happy now shout it out
Well now there is no doubt you've a lot to shout about
Give a yell life is swell shout it out

Hello little girl don't be sad
There's such good times to be had
Count your blessings one by one
Life's a ball, after all have some fun

I said come on get happy, shout it out
Yeh, get happy now shout it out
Well now there is no doubt you've a lot to shout about
Give a yell life is swell shout it out

While there's good food you can taste
While there's music life's no waste
While there's great things happening
There's no end to the joy life can bring

As long as there's somebody you can love
As long as bright stars shine above
You've got no reason to be blue
Think what it means when your dreams all come true

I said now there is no doubt you've a lot to shout about
Give a yell life is swell shout it out

There is no doubt you've a lot to shout about
Give a yell life is swell shout it out
Shout it out



10. Hard Luck
(Weisman / Wayne)

Oh I'm really feeling mighty low
No, no, no, I got no place that I can go
So I got some blues to sing
And oh, so much remembering, woh......

Black cats, keep away from me
Take my advice, ah go shinny up a tree
I got hard luck, the hardest kind a luck you'll find
I ain't lyin', I've got the bluest kind of blues
It's drivin' me right outa my mind

She's gone, said toodle-loo
Kissed her good-bye and my-my, my money too
I've got hard luck, the hardest kind of luck you've seen
I- I mean, the way I'm runnin' lately
My lucky number is thirteen

Where do I belong, everything I do is wrong, all wrong
Wrong as can be
Who's stackin' all the decks, Lady Luck has got the hex on me
I'm on my knee da-da-da-da

Shove off boy I'm warning you
This thing I caught, you know could be catchin' too
I've got hard luck, the hardest kind of luck there can be
Yes sirree, I guess hard luck always chooses
Natchral born losers like me, yeah, mmm, aah!



11. Please Don't Stop Loving Me
(Joy Byers)

Please don't stop loving me
You were born just to be in my arms
In my arms
Please don't stop loving me
Your lips were made just to be kissed by me
Kissed by me

When I'm with you
I don't know day from night, wrong from right
You are my world, that's all I know
I love you so, I won't let go

Please don't stop loving me
Darling you'll always be mine alone
Mine alone



12. Everybody Come Aboard
(Giant / Baum / Kaye)

Forget your troubles, forget your strife

Everybody's gonna gamble on The Showboat tonight

The wheel of fortune's about to ride
