NOTHING IN COMMON
(Jimmy Van Heusen (m) Sammy Cahn (l) )

as recorded by Frank Sinatra
and Keely Smith
with Billy May & his Orchestra
1958


[both]
We've got nothin',
Got nothin' in common,
Just nothin' in common,
[ks]  
My darling at all!
I love the opera,
I detest the best pop!
[fs]  
Can't stand the opera,
I like music that bops!
[ks]
We're not fated,
Not heaven created,
[fs]
We're really mis-mated,
Our chances are small!

[both]
Let's part,
Be real smart,
And not start
With this romance.
[ks]
'Cause outside of both having stars in our eyes,
[fs]
And outside of sighing the same kind of sighs,
[both]
We've got nothin' in common at all!

We've got nothin',
Got nothin' in common,
Just nothin' in common,
[fs]
Never could last!
I love Picasso,
He's all style and he's all flair!
[ks]
I've seen Picasso,
And I think he's a square!
Our two goals are apart as the poles are,
[fs]
As lovers our roles are completely miscast!

[both]
Let's make a clean break and not take any chances,
[fs]
'Cause outside of thinking you're something divine,
[ks]
And outside of wanting your lips close to mine,
[both]
We've got nothin' in common,
We've got nothin' in common at all!
[fs] (spoken)
Waiter, separate checks!
