[Lyric] Straighten Up and Fly Right (Sammy Davis Jr.)
[Verse 1] A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air The monkey thought that everything was on the square The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back The monkey grabbed his neck and said, "Now listen, Jack..."

Look at yourself If you had a sense of humor, you'd laugh to beat the band Look at yourself Do you still believe the rumor that romance is simply grand? Since you took right on the chin You have lost that bright toothpaste grin My mental state is all a-jumble I sit around and sadly mumble Fools rush in, so here I am Very glad to be unhappy I...Learn MorepopSammy Davis Jr.[Lyric] Born to Be Blue (Sammy Davis Jr.)
Some folks were meant to live in clover But they are such a chosen few And clover being green Is something I've never seen 'Cause I was born to be blue When there's a yellow moon above me They say there's moonbeams I should view But moonbeams being gold Are something I can't behold 'Cause I was born to be blue When I met you the world was bright...Learn MorepopSammy Davis Jr.[Lyric] Spoken For (Sammy Davis Jr.)
Spoken for, the lady's been spoken for More and more, I find I adore her She is mine to miss, the lady is mine to miss And I know what a careless kiss can do I know I'll never forget her I'll act my age and behave I'll set a flame to her letters Just like they do on the stage Laughing eyes, the lady has laughing eyes Paradise can never be mine So...Learn MorepopSammy Davis Jr.[Lyric] Unforgettable (Sammy Davis Jr.)

She wore blue velvet Bluer than velvet was the night Softer than satin was the light From the stars She wore blue velvet Bluer than velvet were her eyes Warmer than May her tender sighs Love was ours Ours a love I held tightly Feeling the rapture grow Like a flame burning brightly But when she left, gone was all the glow of Blue velvet But in my...Learn MorepopSammy Davis Jr.[Lyric] My Funny Valentine (Sammy Davis Jr.)
My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable, unphotographable Yet you're my favorite work of art Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak Are you smart? Well, don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay, little valentine, stay Each day...Learn MorepopSammy Davis Jr.[Lyric] Kansas City (Sammy Davis Jr.)

[Verse 1] I left my heart in San Francisco High on a hill, it calls to me To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care [Verse 2] My love waits there in San Francisco Above the blue and windy sea When I come home to you, San Francisco Your golden sun will shine for me [Instrumental...Learn MorepopSammy Davis Jr.[Lyric] Pretend (Sammy Davis Jr.)
[Verse 1] Pretend you're happy when you're blue It isn't very hard to do And you'll find happiness without an end Whenever you pretend Remember, anyone can dream And nothing's as bad as it may seem The little things you haven't got could be a lot if you'd pretend [Bridge] You'll find a love you can share One you can call all your own Just close...Learn MorepopSammy Davis Jr.[Lyric] Fools Rush In (Sammy Davis Jr.)
Oh, when we met, I felt my life begin So open up your heart and let this fool rush in Oh oh oh, fools rush in where angels fear to tread And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head Though I see the danger there If there is a chance for me, then I don't care Don't you know that fools rush in where wise men never go? But wise men never...Learn MorepopSammy Davis Jr.
