DAYDREAMING (ALL NIGHT LONG)
(Words by: Johnny Mercer / Music by: Harry Warren)
Sung by: Rudy Vallee and Rosemary Lane
All night long I'm day-dreaming
Day-dreaming of wonderful you
Constantly I can see you before me
Then we kiss and you whisper you adore me
And though I know I'm only day-dreaming
Please tell me I'm not play-dreaming
Tell me I'm not wrong
While I'm day-dreaming all night long.

A STRANGER IN PAREE
(Words by: Al Dubin / Music by: Harry Warren)
Sung by: Rudy Vallée and Rosemary Lane
If you're lonely, you're in danger
If you happen to be a stranger in gay Paree
Ah ! oui, oui
There are lots of famous places you'll never get to see
When a pair of lips "Bonjour" you
And two beautiful eyes "Amour" you
You'll wonder why
So did I
I met her at the Martinique
There isn't much to tell
She was so chicque and I was weak
And so, I fell for the Mademoiselle
And discovered that she was from New Rochelle
Her French was simply frightful
But her kisses were so delightful
How she fooled me
Ah ! oui, oui
If you're lonely, you're in danger
If you happen to be a stranger in gay Paree.

THE LATIN QUARTER
(Words by: Al Dubin / Music by: Harry Warren)
Sung by: Rudy Vallée, Rosemary Lane, Allen Jenkins and Mabel Todd
So this is gay Paree ! Come on along with me
We're stepping out to see - the Latin Quarter
Put on your old beret - let's sing the Marseillaise
And put our wine away like water
And are you in the mood - to have some Latin food ?
And have you ever wooed - a Latin daughter ?
Hoo-ray for Lafayette - Hoo-ray for crêpe Suzette
If you ain't "et" one yet - you ought'er
Come on and
(Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Par --------- lez -------
(Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Fran --------- çais -------
(Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Their --------- way -------
Oo-la-la-la. Comme si and comme c'a)
Cum si and cum s'ah)
That's all the Frenchmen sing - that's how they have their fling
That's how the Frenchmen swing - The Latin Quarter
They're fifty million strong - And they can't all be wrong
Let's all - oo-la-la-la - oo-la-la-la
Oo-la-la-la - Oo-la-la-la
2nd Chorus
We'll watch an artist paint - He'll take a gal who ain't
And paint her as a saint - for just a quarter
She poses just for art - She does it from the heart
She does it à la carte - He taught'er
That gal from Armentières - Who's been around for years
Will show you souvenirs - the soldiers brought'er
She owes a lot of thanks - to quite a lot of Yanks
For what a lot of Francs - they brought'er
Come on and
(Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Par --------- lez -------
(Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Fran --------- çais -------
(Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Oo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Their --------- way -------
Oo-la-la-la. Comme si and comme c'a)

That's all the Frenchmen sing - that's how they have their fling
That's how the Frenchmen swing - The Latin Quarter
They're fifty million strong - And they can't all be wrong
Let's all - oo-la-la-la - oo-la-la-la
Oo-la-la-la - Oo-la-la-la.

I WANNA GO BACK TO BALI
(Words by: Al Dubin / Music by: Harry Warren)
Sung by: Rudy Vallee and chorus
I wanna go back to Bali
To the island of sunny skies
You can see those scenes in magazines
But you never can see the flies
It looks like our back alley
But I love it more
For when the gals meet you down at the pier
They wear less than the ladies do here
If the day and the vision is clear
You can see the shore
Oh ! I wanna go back to Bali
Where there ain't such a word as "No !"
Where to hug and to squeeze a Balinese is always ap-ro-po
The Interlaken Valley may be the place to go
Still I wanna go back and I'm gonna go back to Bali.

IS IT POSSIBLE YOU'RE POSSESSABLE?
(Music: Harry Warren / Lyrics: Al Dubin)
Written for the movie but not used
I would like to quiz you a bit
Make you admit a secret...
Is it possible you're possessable in the moonlight?
Is it possible you're caressable in the dark?
It can't be true someone like you would kiss me
This must be heaven, this can't be a park
Is it possible you're a yes-able sort of person?
Then a wedding ring could make ev'rything quite all right
For if you heart is throbable, it's probable you might
Is it possible you're possessable tonight?
Written for the movie but not used.
