From Rags To Riches

Dedicated to those KV Mets fans

Rags To Riches, Tony Bennett, Written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross
Charted at # 1 in 1953

I know I'd go from rags to riches
If you would only say you care
And though my pocket may be empty
I'd be a millionaire
My clothes may still be torn and tattered
But in my heart I'd be a king
Your love is all that ever mattered
It's everything
So open your arms and you'll open the door
To ev'ry treasure that I'm hopin' for
Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine ever more
Must I forever be a beggar
Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Or will I go from rags to riches?
My fate is up to you
Must I forever be a beggar
Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Or will I go from rags to riches?
My fate is up to you

Tony Bennett: He's Got The World On A String

from a year 2000 performance

I've got the world on a string,
Sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! What a life!
I'm in love.
I've got a song that I sing,
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger.
Lucky me! Can't you see
I'm in love?
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string.
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go.
I've got the world on a string,
Sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! What a life!
I'm in love.
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string.
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let it go.
I've got the world on a string,
Sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! Man this is the life!
Hey now, I'm in love.
