[excerpt]

COCO
One day
In May
The duke and I
Let the tempers fly,
And I told him whither to go and stay;
So he invited to the next soirée
A buxom bore for whom he’d bought
A diamond bigger than a diamond fourth
To be;
Did he.
And I knew why.
To make me cry.
But I came wearing imitation junk,
So large and gaudy that her diamond shrunk;
The crowd went wild for the glass display’
And costume jewelry was here to stay!

What a coup!
What luck!
Tell the bank to send a truck!
Oh, the money rings out like freedom!
Clink-clink-a-jingle.
That capital tune is chiming;
I’m free.
My heart rejoices,
When I hear invoices
That sing out so solvently.

Babes in the Wood
The Didn't Believe Me
The Money Rings Out Like Freedom
Always Mademoiselle
Take Care of This House
One More Walk Around the Garden
Why Him?
Chin Up, Ladies
Beatnik Love Affair
Why Do the Wrong People Travel
Yes, My Heart
Can You Imagine That?
Her Face
Love Makes the World Go 'Round
Sail Away
Go Slow, Johnny
This Is a Changing World

I Will Follow You
