A Mixed-Up Medley In My Mixed-Up Musical Memory (041)


♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Come Fly Me To The Moon
In the Beatle's Yellow Submarine,
Up Andy's Moon River,
Wider than a mile, a stunning scene.

Rainy Night In Georgia,
I'm sittin' on The Dock Of The Bay.
I just happened to meet,
The Girl From Ipanema today.

Well, she wore Blue Velvet,
Bluer than velvet just like tonight.
A Stranger On The Shore
Walked by me under the Harbor Lights.

It was just a year ago,
I Left My Heart In San Francisco.
She's Always On My Mind;
Now I'm careful, takin' things real slow.

I just can't wait to be
With you, my sweet Embraceable You.
My Funny Valentine,
I'm Gettin' Sentimental O'er You.

You've got me In The Mood
To buy you a great big diamond ring.
A Pretty Girl's like a melody,
And Love Is A Many Splendored Thing.

Ev'rybody Loves Somebody
And I'm really crazy about you.
Sure wish you'd get here soon
Before I get The Saint Louis Blues.

I'm sittin' on the curb,
Wearin' Levi jeans and Blue Suede Shoes.
Whistlin' Love Me Tender,
Nights In White Satin by the Moody Blues.

Though the night is clear, the moon yellow,
And the autumn leaves are tumblin' down . . .
I ain't seen Stagger Lee and Billy
Even though I Get Around.

The Moonglow here is like
Moonlight In Vermont this time o' year.
Whiskey River ain't run dry,
Willie drinks whiskey n' I drink beer.

Stardust fell from the sky,
And it reminded me of Hoagie.
I sang As Time Goes By
And I thought of Ingrid and Bogie.

If ya' don't get here soon,
You're a Hound Dog rockin' all the time,
Never caught a rabbit,
You ain't gonna be a friend of mine!

I'm gonna give up soon
'Cause I ain't desperate or Crazy.
And I damned sure won't be
Walkin' After Midnight like Patsy.

So I'm just tellin' you,
I'm gonna give up on ya' real soon.
And go Up, Up And Away
In my beautiful, beautiful balloon.
