Love And Marriage (01:29)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
Love and marriage, love and marriage
They go together like a horse and carriage
This I'll tell you brother
You can't have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary

Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
They go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one without the other

Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
They go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one without the other

They Can't Take That Away From Me (02:42)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can't take that away from me

We may never never meet again, on the bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me

(Interlude)

We may never, never, never meet again, on the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep that memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away
They won't take that away
Cause they can't take that away
From me

My Kind Of Town (03:09)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
Now, this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you, most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss

This is my kind of town
Chicago is my kind of town
Chicago is my kind of people too
People who smile at you and

Each time I roam
Chicago is calling me home
Chicago is why I just grin like a clown
It's my kind of town.

My kind of town,
Chicago is my kind of town,
Chicago is my kind of raz-ma-taz
And it has all that jazz and

Each time I leave,
Chicago is tuggin' my sleeve
Chicago is a Wrigley Building
Chicago is the Union Stockyard
Chicago is one town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town

I've Got You Under My Skin (03:33)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart so that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I tried so not to give in
I said to myself this affair, it never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when baby, I know so well
That I've got you under my skin

Chorus
I`d sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near,
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
It repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know little fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin,
'Cause I've got you under my skin

big-band instrumental break

Chorus
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near,
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
It repeats, how it yells in my ear
Don't you know little fool, you never can win
Why not use your mentality, step up, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin,
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Yes, I've got you under my skin

The Best Is Yet To Come (02:54)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
Out of the tree of life
I just picked me a plum,
You came along
and everything's startin' to hum.
Still, it's a real good bet,
the best is yet to come.
Best is yet to come, and babe,
won't that be fine?

You think you've seen the sun,
but you ain't seen it shine
a-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet...
The best is yet to come, and babe,
won't it be fine?

Best is yet to come,
Come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry
Wait till your charms are right
for these arms to surround

You think you've flown before, but baby,
you ain't left the ground
a-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
a-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here...

The best is yet to come, and babe,
won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come,
Come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine...

It Was A Very Good Year (04:27)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days are short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a massive good year

Come Fly With Me (03:12)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze there's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama-land there's a one man band and he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry eyed
Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near
You may hear, the angels cheer because we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
Just say the words and we'll beat those birds down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon they say
So come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

''[instrumental]''

Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry eyed
Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near
You may hear, all the angels cheer because we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say those words, and we'll beat those birds down to Acapulco Bay
It's so perfect for a flying honeymoon they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly

Pack up! let's fly away

That's Life (03:07)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.

I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My

Strangers In The Night (02:36)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.

Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in your smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.

Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -

Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.

(Instrumental Break)

Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away.

Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.

The Lady Is A Tramp (02:45)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She likes the theatre, and never comes late
She never bothers, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like crap games, with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, and it's oak
Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

She gets too hungry, to wait for dinner at eight
She loves the theatre, but never comes late
She'd never bother, with people She'd hate
Thats why the Lady is a Tramp

She'll have no crap games, with Sharpie's and Fraud's
And she won't go to Harlem, in Lincoln's or Ford's
And she won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the broads
That's why the Lady is a Tramp

She loves the free, fresh, wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's oak
Hates California, it's so cold, and so damp
That's why the Lady, That's why the Lady
That's why the Lady is a Tramp

Mack The Knife (04:53)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
FRANK:
Hey, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has Mac Heath, dear
And he keeps it, way out of sight
when that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows they begin to spread
Fancy white gloves, has Mac Heath, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning,
Lies a body, oozing' life,
Someone's sneaking', 'round that corner
Could that someone perhaps per chance be Mack the Knife?

From the tugboat, on a river going slow
A cement bag's dropping down
You know, that cement is for the weight, dear
You can make a large bet that bums in town

JIMMY:
(Yeah he's in town)

FRANK:
My man Louie Miller
he split the scene babe,
After drawing' out all the bread from his stash
Now Mac Heath spends like a sailor
Do you suppose this guy he did something rash?

Old Satchmo, Louie Armstrong, Bobby Daron
They did this song nice, Lady Ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
That old blue eyes here ain't gonna add anything new

JIMMY:
(oh yes you do)

FRANK:
But with this big, fat, band jumping behind me
Swinging hard Jack

JIMMY:
(That's Jimmy)
FRANK:
I know I cant loose, When I tell you
All about Mack the Knife, babe
It's an offer you can never refuse

We've got Patrick William,
Bill Miller playin' that piano
And this wonderful, great, big, band
bringin' up the rear
all these bad cats, in this bad town
they make the greatest sound you ever gonna here

Oh Sukey Tawdry,
JIMMY:
(Oh Sukey Tawdry)

FRANK:
Jenny Diver,
JIMMY:
(Jenny Diver)

FRANK:
Polly Peaches

JIMMY:
(I know her well)

FRANK:
Ms Lulu Brown
Yeah, the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Mack he

JIMMY:
(Oh Mack he)

FRANK:
Yeah that bum is back

JIMMY:
(Oh that bum he's back)

FRANK:
And I'm gonna tell you
what I think that you should know

JIMMY:
(What should I do)

FRANK:
You better lock your door
And call the law
Because Mack he
he's come back to town

Get under the bed hide

JIMMY:
(Look out old Mack is back)

I Get A Kick Out Of You (03:15)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
My story is much too sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Then I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face

Chorus:

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all

So tell me why should it be true?
That I get a
Kick! Out of you

[3 different verses for every song]

(Some like the perfume from Spain)
(I'm sure that if I took even one sniff)
(It would bore me terrifically too)
(But I get a kick out of you)

(Some like the bop-type refrain)
(I'm sure that if, I heard even one riff)
(It would bore me terrifically too)
(But I get a kick out of you)

(Some they may go for cocaine)
(I'm sure that if, I took even one sniff)
(It would bore me terrifically too)
(But I get a kick out of you)

I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see, you obviously do not adore me

I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you

Summer Wind (02:56)
Frank Sinatra • My Way - The Best Of Frank Sinatra
The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair - and walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights - they went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter winds - they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
