Peggy Lee - I Love Being Here With You
I love the East, I love the West
North and South, their both the best
But I only want go there as a guest
Cause I love being here with you
I love the sea, I love the shore
I love the rocks and what is more
Peggy Lee - Bye Bye Blackbird
here i go singin' low
bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
sugar's sweet , so is he
bye bye blackbird
Peggy Lee - He Needs Me
He doesn't know it
But he needs me
And so no matter
Where he goes
And though he doesn't care
He knows, I'm there
Peggy Lee - Baubles, Bangles And Beads
Hear how they jing , jing-a-ling-a,
Baubles, bangles,
Bright, shiny beads.
Sparkles, spangles,
My heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a,
Wearing baubles, bangles and beads.
I'll glitter and gleam so,
Peggy Lee - Goin' To Chicago Blues
Going to Chicago, sorry I can't take you
There's nothing in Chicago that a man like you can do
When you see me coming, raise your window high
When you see me coming, raise your window high
When you see me going, baby, hang your head and cry
Peggy Lee - I Enjoy Being A Girl
I'm a girl and by me that's only great
I am proud that my silhouette is curvy
That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait
With my hips kind of swivelly and swervey
I adore being dressed in something frilly
When my date comes to get me at my place
Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy
Peggy Lee - I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)
I got it bad and that ain't good!
My poor heart is sentimental not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good!
But when the weekend's over and Monday rolls aroun'
I end up like I start out just cryin' my heart out
He don't love me like I love him nobody could
Peggy Lee - I Hear Music
The murmur of a morning breeze up there
The rattle of the milkman on the stair
Sure that's music, mighty fine music
The singing of a sparrow in the sky
The perking of the coffee right nearby
1940, Peter Lind Hayes, Eddie Quillan, Frank Jenks & Robert Paige (1940)
Peggy Lee - Joey, Joey, Joey
Joey, Joey, Joey, Joe
You've been too long
In one place
And it's time to go
Time to go
Peggy Lee - I Get Ideas
I get ideas, I get ideas
I wanna hold you so much closer than I dare to
I wanna scold you 'cause I care more than I care to
And when you touch me and there's fire in every finger
I get ideas, I get ideas
And after we have kissed goodnight and still you linger
Peggy Lee - You Make Me Feel Brand New
The words, my love,
To tell you how I feel, my love.
Mere words, could not explain.
Precious love, you held my life,
Within your hands.
Created everything I am.
Peggy Lee - Sweet Happy Life
May all the days of the year that you live be laughing days
With all my heart, sweet happy life
And may the night times that follow the day be dancing nights
Stars for your smile, moons for your hair
And someones wonderful love for your loving heart to share
My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing
Peggy Lee - Baby Don't Be Mad At Me
If I made you cry, I'm sorry.
Baby, don't be mad at me.
If I told a lie forgive me.
Baby, don't be mad at me.
I know that I was wrong,
But I've paid for my mistake.
Won't you string along?
Peggy Lee - Wish You Were Here
Wish you were here
As blue as they used to when you were near
Wish you were here
And the mornings don't seem as new
Brand-new as they did with you
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Peggy Lee - Swingin' on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
Peggy Lee - (Ghost) Riders in the Sky
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Peggy Lee - Laroo, Laroo, Lili Bolero
That's a magic sayin'
That I heard one day in Napoli;
When a fortune teller
In a dim lit cellar said to me,
"You say laroo lilli bolero;
And just like that quick as an arrow
You'll find the boy who's meant for you."
Peggy Lee - Stormy Weather
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
1933, Ethel Waters first sang it at The Cotton Club night club in Harlem in 1933 and recorded it that year
Peggy Lee - Hallelujah, I love him so
He's my baby and he loves me so
Every morning 'fore the sun comes up
He brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's how I know, yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love him so
When I'm in trouble and I have no friends
I know he'll be with me until the end
Peggy Lee - Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You
Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
There's nothing in this world too good
For a girl so good and true.
Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,
Peggy Lee - He's my guy
'Cause he's my guy, I guess he always was,
He's careless about me, I don't think he tries
But once in a while he'll hug me and smile
Then I can see me in his eyes
Oh he's my guy, I know he'll always be
And I will try to keep him loving me
Peggy Lee - I Don't Know Enough About You
But I don't know enough about you.
Just when I think you're mine,
You try a different line,
And baby, what can I do?
I read the latest news,
No buttons on my shoes,
Peggy Lee - Golden Earrings
That when your love wears golden earrings,
She (he) belongs to you.
An old love story that's known to very few,
But if you wear those golden earrings,
Love will come to you.
By the burning fire,they will glow with evry coal.
You will hear desire whisper low inside your soul.
Peggy Lee - You're My Thrill
You do something to me
You send chills right through me
When I look at you
'Cause you're my thrill
You're my thrill
How my pulse increases
I just go to pieces
