VIC: Why, oh why and wherefore have I no one to care for me
RUSS: Where's my Cinderella, how gloomy can a fellah be
TONY:
Ain't that moon a lovely sight
This is such a lovely night
Don't mind me, pals, I'm all right
VIC & RUSS, Sure we're only doggone lonely
VIC: Wish that I could visit the home of some exquisite blonde
RUSS: Man alive there should be a doll of whom I could be fond

Men are nature's big mistake
ALL: But they're very necessary
DEBBIE: Why should I be frantic when I'm in this romantic mood
JANE: Guys are so contrary, and most of them are very rude
ANN: They take your heart, and break your heart
ALL:
They're all so undependable, and yet they're not expendable
But why, oh why and wherefore does no one seem to care for me
JANE: Why, oh why and wherefore does no one seem to care for me
DEBBIE: Why, oh why and wherefore
ALL: Does no one seem to care for me

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Little_Girls_in_Blue
Oh Me, Oh My:
時代遅れの表現で、"oh my god!"とか "wow!"とかの代わりに使われる。誰かがショックを受けたり、驚いたりしたときに使われる。
[Verse 1]
Little girlie, late and early
You'll be on my mind,
For you're just the kind I treid so long to find;
When yo're near me, when you cheer me
I can plainly see,
Love is ev'rything that its cracked up to be: Oh
[Refrain]
me! oh my! oh you!
No other girl will do,
Cares would be forever ended
And this would would be so splendid,
If you cared enough dear, to be true.
Oh me! oh my! oh you!
Those lips! those eyes of blue;
You're so lovely, you're so sweet,
You simply lift me off my feet,
Oh me! oh my! Oh you!
作曲: Vincent Youmans
作詞: Edward Eliscu and Gus Kahn
作曲年 1933

器楽演奏のトラックなのですが、これまで未出の歌詞を載せておきます。
Say, have you seen a Carioca?
It's not a foxtrot or a polka
It has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighs
It has a meter that is tricky
A bit of wicked wacky-wicky
But when you dance it with a new love, there's a true love in her eye
You dream of a new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You dream of a new Carioca
When music and lights are gone we say goodbye
Two heads together, they say are better than one
Two heads together, that's how the dance is begun
Two arms around you and lips, that's why I'm yours and you are mine
And you are mine
Now that you've done the Carioca
You'll never care to do the Polka
And then you'll realize the blue hula and bamboola are through
Tomorrow morning you'll discover
You're just a Carioca lover
And when you dance it with each new love, there'll be true love just for you
Now you'll dream of a new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You'll dream of a new Carioca
When music and lights are gone and we're saying goodbye
Goodbye

作曲年 1933
この曲は映画 Flying Down to Rio (1933) で使われました。
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Down_to_Rio
主演はフレッド・アステアとジンジャー・ロジャースです。
In me you see a sinner
And dancing is my crime
It seems a sin I've gotta give in
To syncopated time
It makes me lose my dignity,
It makes me lose my poise
And some folks call it music,
But my folks call it noise
I like music, old or new,
But music makes me do the things I never should do
I like music, sweet or blue,
But music makes me do the things I never should do
My self control was something to brag about
Now it's a gag about town
The things I do are never forgiven
For just when I'm livin' 'em down
I hear music, then I'm through
For music makes me do the things I never should do
I like music old or new
But music makes me.........
I like music sweet or blue
But music makes me.........
My self control was something
But now it's a gag about town
The things I do are never forgiven
But just when I'm livin' 'em down
I hear music then I'm through
For music makes me do the things I never should do
