The Lady is a tramp

Little girl blue

my romance

There's a small hotel

You are too beautiful

Irving Berlin

Be careful its my heart

Blue skies

change partners and dance

Cheek to cheek

How deep is the ocean
I've got my love to keep me warm

Let's face the music and dance

Steppin out

They say it's wonderful

what'll I do

Harold Arlen

Accentuate the positive

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Come rain or come shine

I've got the world on a string

If I only had a brain

It's only a paper moon

My shining hour

Over the rainbow

Stormy Weather

That old black magic
