I'll Get By (As Long As I Have You) Lyrics

I'll get by as long as I have you
Though there be rain and darkness, too
I'll not complain, I'll see it through
Poverty may come to me it's true
But what care I, say, I'll get by
As long as I have you
I'll get by, oh yes, honey child, I'll get by
Just as long as I have you
And remember though there be rain
And of course a little darkness, too
I ain't never gonna complain, um, um
Not me, I'll see it through
Poverty may come to me it's true
But what care I, say, I'll get by

A Foggy Day (In London Town) Lyrics

A foggy day, in London town
It had me low, and it had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
The British Museum, had lost its charm
How long I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles, it hadn't past
And suddenly, I saw you standing right there
And in foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say either and I say either
You say neither and I say neither
Either, either, neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off

[Verse 2]
You like potatoes and I like potatoes
You like tomatoes and I like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes
Let's call the whole thing off

[Chorus]
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart

[Verse 3]
So if you like pajamas and I like pajamas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajamas
For we know we need each other, so we'd
Better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off

[Chorus]
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart

[Verse 4]
So if you go for oysters and I go for oysters
I'll order oysters and cancel the oysters
For we know we need each other, so we'd
Better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off

Love Is Here To Stay Lyrics

The more I read the papers
The less I comprehend
The world with all its capers
And how it all will end
Nothing seems to be lasting
But that isn't our affair;
We've got something permanent
I mean in the way we care

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay;
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But, oh my dear
Our love is here to stay;
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

Nice Work If You Can Get It Lyrics

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boys meant
Fall in love you won't regret it
That's the best work of all if you can get it

Holding hands at midnight
'Neath the starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Scrolling with the one girl
Sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for more
Loving one who loves you
And taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if
Won't you tell me how?

They Can't Take That Away From Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me

[Verse 2]
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can't take that away from me

[Chorus]
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of

[Verse 3]
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced 'till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

[Chorus]
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of

[Verse 3]
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced 'till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
