Doris Day & Les Brown - rare 1985 reunion video of "Sentimental Journey"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Brown_(bandleader)


"Sentimental Journey" (Brown, Green, Homer)
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

Got my bag, got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that "All aboard"

Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

Never thought my heart could be so 'yearny'
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take that sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home,

Sweet Georgia Brown & Tea for Two 
(Live @ Newport Jazz Festival 1958)
Extraído del film:
Jazz on a Summer's Day (1959): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052942/

"Sweet Georgia Brown"
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh so neat, has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie not much

It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came why it's a shame how she cools them down
Fellas she can't get must be fellas she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her Sweet Georgia Brown

No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia brown
Two left feet, oh so neat, has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie not much

All those gifts, those courters give to Sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows with one dollar down
Oh boy, tip your hat, oh joy, she's the cat
Who's that, mister? It ain't a sister, Sweet Georgia Brown


"Tea for two"
Picture you upon my knee, Just tea for two and two for tea, 
Just me for you
And you for me alone.

Nobody near us
To see us or hear us,
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations.
We won't have it known, dear,
That we own a telephone, dear;

Day will break and I'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake,
For you to take
For all the boys to see.

We will raise a family,
A boy for you, a girl for me.
Oh, can't you see
How happy we will be?

All about Ronnie (1953), Joe Greene
All about Ronnie,
There's so much to tell!
All about Ronnie,
I know him so well!

His magical fingers,
Their sense of embrace;
His whisper that lingers,
Caressing you face.

All about Ronnie,
Best told in a toast;
Let me propose it,
He's my favourite host!

We'll drink from dry glasses,
There's no need for wine!
The champagne is Ronnie,
And Ronnie is mine!
