Fly me to the moon
Gee baby, ain't I good to you
Georgia on my mind
Girls go by
God bless the child
I get a kick out of you
I got rhythm
I'm beginning to see the light
It don't mean a thing (if it ain't got that swing)
It had to be you
It's only a paper moon
I've got the world on a string
Loverman
Lullaby of birdland
Makin' whoopee

My foolish heart
My funny valentine

On the sunny side of the street
Our love is here to stay

Satin doll
Shadow of your smile
Someone to watch over me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Straighten up and fly right
Summertime
Take five
They can't take that away from me
What a wonderful world |
