liza minnelli - all that jazz

Come on babe, why don't we paint the town, and all that Jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockin's down
And all that Jazz
Start the car, I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold but the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall, where there's a nightly brawl
And all - a-that - Ja-yazz

Slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes, and all that jazz
I hear that Father Dip is gonna blow the blues, and all that jazz
Hold on hon, we're gonna bunny-hug
I bought some aspirin down at United Drug
In case we shake apart and want a brand new start
To do - a-that - Ja-yazz

Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy-shake, and all that jazz
Oh, I'm gonna shimmy till my garters break, and all that jazz
Show me where to park my girdle, oh, my mother's blood'd curdle
If she'd hear her baby's queer
For all - that - Ja-yazz

Find the flask we're playin' fast and loose
(Oh, you're gonna see a shiver-shimmy-shake)
And all that jazz, and all that jazz
Right up here is where I store the juice
(Oh I'm gonna shimmy till my garters break)
And all that jazz, and all that jazz
Come on babe we're gonna brush the sky
(Show me where to park my girdle)
I bet you lucky Lindy never flew so high
(Oh, my mother's blood'd girdle)
'Cause in the stratosphere, how could he lend an ear
(If she'd hear her baby's queer)
To all that ja-yazz

No I'm no-one's wife, but oh I love my life
And all... that... Ja-yazz..., that Jazz

liza minnelli - blue moon

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
Here i go again
I'm here glow again
I'm all glow again
Without a dream in my heart

liza minnelli - does he love you

I've known about you for a while now
When he leaves me he wears a smile now
As soon as he's away from me
In your arms is where he wants to be

But you're the one he rushes home to
You're the one he gave his name to
I never see his face
In the early morning light
You have his mornings, his daytimes
And sometimes I have his nights

But does he love you (does he love you)
Like he loves me (like he loves me)
Does he think of you (does he think of you)
When he's holding me
And does he whisper (does he whisper)
All of his fantasies
Does he love you (does he love you)
Like he's been lovin' me

But when he's with me, he says he needs me
And that he wants me, that he believes in me

And when I'm in his arms
Oh, he swears there's no one else
Is he deceiving me, or am I deceiving myself?

But does he love you (does he love you)
Like he loves me (like he loves me)
Does he think of you (does he think of you)
When he's holding me
And does he whisper (does he whisper)
Of his fantasies
Does he love you (does he love you)
Like he's been lovin me

liza minnelli - dont drop bombs

You come back home, with a secret smile
A knowing look, and another lie
To blow my cool, and wreck my life
You're too corrupted, and totally destructive
When you've erupted, you're totally destructive
(Don't drop bombs)
I'd rather not have to hear about
Your other girls on your expense account
I know you carry on, behind my back
With your secretary, you'll have a heart attack
You're too corrupted, and totally destructive
When you've erupted, you're totally destructive
(Don't drop bombs)
(Baby!)
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs
Life with you is all ups and downs
And when you're up, you're off downtown
I've had enough!
(Baby!)
Don't tell me about your lack of restrictions
Guilty records and previous convictions
Or I shall start playing rough
(Baby!)
You're too corrupted, and totally destructive
When you've erupted, you're totally destructive
(Don't drop..)
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Just stay calm baby, no more bombs

liza minnelli - embraceable you

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you

Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the gypsy in me

I love all, the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you

Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa, do
My sweet embraceable you

liza minnelli - everybody s talkin

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

liza minnelli - for every man there s a woman

For every man there's a woman
For every life there's a plan
And wise men know it was ever so
Since the world began, woman was made for man
Where is she, where is the woman for me?

For every prince there's a princess
For every Joe there's a Joan
And if you wait, you will find the mate
Born for you alone, happy to be your own
Where is she, where is the woman for me?

Find the one, find the one
Then together you will find the sun

For every heart there's a moment
For every hand, a glove
And for every woman, a man to love

For every heart there's a moment
For every hand, a glove
And for every woman, a man to love
Where is she, where is the one for me?

liza minnelli - all the way

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes if it's real

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all those in between years, come what may

Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say, but if you let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way
All the way

Through the good or lean years
And for all those in between years, come what may

Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say but if you let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way
All the way

liza minnelli - confession

I never kissed a man before
Now isn't that a shame?
I never kissed a man before
Before I knew his name...

I never had a taste for wine
Now isn't that a sin?
I never had a taste for wine
For wine can't compare with gin...

It's nice as nice can be
My faith is at last restored
To know that vice can be
Its own reward...

I always go to bed at ten
Now isn't that a bore?
I always go to bed at ten
Then I go home at four...

liza minnelli - but the world goes round

Sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad
But the world goes 'round
Sometimes you lose every nickel you had
But the world goes 'round

Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn't alter a thing
Take it from me, there's still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a fall and a spring

And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes 'round
And sometimes your heart breaks with a deafening sound

Somebody loses and somebody wins
And one day it's kicks, then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins, and the world goes 'round-
But the world goes 'round
But the world goes 'round

Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn't matter at all
Take it from me, there's still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a spring and a fall

And sometimes a friend starts treating you bad
But the world goes 'round
And sometimes your heart breaks with a deafening sound

Somebody loses and somebody wins
Then one day it's kicks, then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins, and the world goes 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
The world goes 'round and 'round and 'round
And 'round!

liza minnelli - bye bye blackbird

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go swingin' low
Bye, bye, black-bird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me

Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go swingin' low
Bye (bye), bye (bye) blackbird (duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo)

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is he
Bye (bye), bye (bye) blackbird (duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo)

No one here can love or understa-a-and me (ah-hah-hah)
Oh, what hard luck stories they all ha-a-and me (ah-hah-hah)

Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbird

Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Leave your perch and take the sky
Too-da-loo, (farewell) bye, bye
Blackbirrrd, go take a fly oh little blackbird, bye

Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbirrrrd, bye bye

liza minnelli - cabaret

What good is sitting alone
In your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
Time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Come taste the wine,
COme hear the band.
Come blow a horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table's waiting.

No use permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret!

I used to have a girlfriend
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't waht you'd call
A blushing flower...
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.

The day she died the neighbors
Came to snicker:
"Well, that's what comes
From too much pills and liquor."
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
She was the happiest... corpse...
I'd ever seen.

I think of Elsie to this very day.
I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
"What good is sitting alone
In you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
Time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret."

And as for me,
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
When I go, I'm going like Elsie.

Start by admitting,
From cradle to tomb
Isn't that a long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Only a Cabarert, old chum
And I love a Cabaret.

liza minnelli - come rain or come shine

I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain
And deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don' t ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me

You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in, or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain
Deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me

You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in, or we're out of the money
But I'll love you always
I'm with you rain or shine

Rain or shine

liza minnelli - close your eyes

Close your eyes
Put your head on my shoulder and sleep
Close your eyes
And I will close mine

Close your eyes
Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep
Close your eyes
This is divine

Music play
Something dreamy for dancing
While we're romancing
It's loves holiday
And love will be our guide

Close your eyes
When you open them dear I'll be near
By your side
So won't you close your eyes?
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
