Bing Crosby 

Did you ever see a dream walking 

Here lies love 

I found a million dollar baby 

I kiss your hand madame 

I'm playing with fire 

Just one more chance 

Louise 

Love is just around the corner 

One more time 

Annette Hanshaw 

Daddy won't you please come home 

I get the blues when it rains 

I'm a dreamer (aren't we all) 

It all depends on you 

Lovable and sweet 

Moanin' low 

My blackbirds are bluebirds now 

My sin 

That's you baby 

Thinking of you 

Al Jolson 

April showers 

Back in your own back yard 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

There's a rainbow 'round my shoulder 

 

Cole Porter 

Let's do it 

Let's misbehave 

You're the top 

You've got that thing 

Fats Waller 

Ain'tcha' glad 

Baby Brown 

Concentratin' on you 

How can you face me 

I'm crazy 'bout my baby 

I've got a feeling I'm falling 

I've got my fingers crossed 

Joint is jumpin'  

My fate is in your hands 

Whose honey are you 

Your feet's too big 

Helen Kane 

Button up your overcoat 

Do something 

I wanna be loved by you 

I want to be bad 

I'd do anything for you 

That's my weakness now

Novelty tunes 

Cows may come cows may go 

Egyptian Ella 

Give me the Sultan's harem 

How could Red Riding Hood 

I wish't I was in Peoria 

I've got the yes we have no bananas blues 

I've never seen a straight banana 

Masculine women, feminine men 

Palesteena (,Lena from) 

Tain't no sin (to dance around in your bones) 

Yankee doodle never went to town 

Yes we have no bananas 

 

Sing-along tunes 

For me and my gal 

Gang that sang "Heart of my heart" 

Side by side 

Swingin' down the lane 

Wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine
