A haute voix

sqwookI've got a playlist called "A haute voix" for songs that really must be sung out loud. The best ones (for me) are big vampy swing numbers. Here are the latest two in the list. Also, shout out to transfigurationfor the "change your luck" message. I hear ya!
Taking stock of what I have and what I haven't, what do I find?
The things I've got will keep me satisfied.
Checking up on what I have and what I haven't, what do I find?
A healthy balance on the credit side.
Got no diamond, got no pearl, still I think I'm a lucky girl.
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
Got no mansion, got no yacht, still I'm happy with what I got.
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
Sunshine gives me a lucky day,
Moonshine gives me the Milky Way.
Got no checkbooks, got no banks, still, I'd like to express my thanks.
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening I'm alright.
Got no butler, got no maid, still I think I've been overpaid,
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
Got no silver, got no gold, what I've got can't be bought or sold.
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
Sunshine gives me a lucky day,
Moonshine gives me the Milky Way.
Got no diamonds, got no pearls, still I think I'm a lucky girl.
Sun in the morning, moon in the evening,
And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening I'm feeling alright!.

After you get what you want, you don't want it.
If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon
You're like a baby- you want what you want when you want it.
But after you are presented with what you want you're discontented.
You're always wishing and wanting for something
When you get what you want, you don't want what you get
And though I sit upon your knee you'll grow tired of me
'Cause after you get what you want you don't want what you wanted at all.
Changeable, you got a changeable nature
always, always changing your mind
there's a longing in your eye hard to satisfy
and here's the reason why...
'Cause after you get what you want you don't want it
if I gave you the moon you'd grow tired of it soon
You're like a baby, you want what you want when you want it
but after you are presented with what you want you're discontented
You're always wishing and wanting for something
When you get what you want, you don't want what you get
and though I sit upon your knee you'll grow tired of me
'Cause after you get what you want you don't want what you wanted at all
Baby I don't mean to make you blue but you need a talking to
'Cause after you get what you want you don't want what you wanted at all.
I know you.
