Moonlight serenade
Manhattan serenade

Road to Morocco
Moonlight becomes you
I heard that song before
But not for me
I heard you cry tonight
All or nothing at all
It started all over again
In the blue of evening
Song is you
Sunday, Monday, or always
Pistol packin' mama
People say we're in love
Oh, what a beautiful mornin'
Out of my dreams
I cain't say no

As time goes by
Paper doll
For me and my gal
That old black magic
One for my baby (And one for the road)
Brazil
You'll never know how much I miss you
It can't be wrong
Put your arms around me honey (I never knew any girl like you)
In my arms
Taking a chance on love

Till then
Shoo-shoo baby
Milkman, keep those bottles quiet
Besame mucho
Artistry in rhythm
And her tears flowed like wine
Straighten up and fly right
You always hurt the one you love
I'm making believe
Into each life some rain must fall
Time waits for no one
I'll get by
Trolley song
Gettin' corns for my country
Tumblin' tumbleweeds
Sweet dreams, sweetheart
You can always tell a Yank
