So kiss me and say you understand. - - Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before - But let me try to explain - Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand - Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain - and yet I should explain - It means I am begging for your hand - - I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Wunderbar" - Each language only helps me tell you grand you are - ===== From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Bei Mir Bist Du Shein (Yiddish, bay mir bist tu sheyn, or To Me You're Beautiful) is a popular Yiddish song originally composed (with the title Bei Mir Bistu Shein) by Jacob Jacobs (lyricist) and Sholom Secunda (composer) for a Yiddish musical, I Would if I Could, (in Yiddish, Men Ken Lebn Nor Men Lost Nisht) in 1932 that opened and closed after only one season. Secunda sold the publishing rights to the song for a mere US$ 30. -
The song became famous with English lyrics but using the German title Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (Anglicised spelling of German Bei mir bist Du schön). -
In 1937, Sammy Cahn heard a performance of the song, sung in Yiddish by African American performers Johnnie and George at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, and on seeing the response, got his employer to buy the rights so he (together with Saul Chaplin) could rewrite the song with English language lyrics. He then convinced The Andrews Sisters to perform the song (recorded November 24, 1937), and it became a major hit. -
A parody of this song, "The Bear Missed the Train", was written by the Smith Street Society Jazz Band in 1964 and became a favorite on Jean Shepherd's radio narratives. - =====

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "On the Sunny Side of the Street" is a 1930 song composed by Jimmy McHugh, with lyrics by Dorothy Fields. Having become a jazz standard, it was played (usually as an instrumental) by such greats as Dave Brubeck, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Errol Garner, Dizzy Gillespie, and Count Basie. Frankie Laine had a hit with his recording, and the song also was recorded by other leading vocalists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra. Arguably the best known arrangement is found in the 1945 record by Tommy Dorsey and the Sentimentaists. The children's group Sharon Lois and Bram recorded a version for their Sing A to Z recording. Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt recorded their well-known version on their Sonny Side Up album.
