Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money Too) - Peggy Lee
Artist: Peggy Lee
Song: Why Don't You Do Right
Lyrics:
You had plenty of money in 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money, too
You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all about
You ain't got no money that will put you out
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money, too
If you have prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money, too
I fell for you jiving and I too you in
Now all you've got to offer me is a drink of gin
Why don't you do right?
Like some other men do
Get out of here and get me some money, too

Fly Me To The Moon - Steve Lawrence
Frank Sinatra was a very good friend of Steve Lawrence, and Sinatra also served as Lawrence's Mentor. Since Lawrence knew most of Sinatra's songs by heart, Sinatra decided to give Lawrence a bunch of orchestrations for the Sinatra songs that Lawrence really loved.
Lawrence received those orchestrations one christmas, along with a note from Sinatra saying "I know how much you love these songs... Take it wherever you go." Lawrence decided to dedicate it to Sinatra as his mentor and friend, and from then on, "Steve Lawrence sings Sinatra - A Musical Tribute to the Man and his Music" was born....
Among those tracks was Fly Me to the Moon. Thanks to Sinatra, Lawrence was able to record his vocals accompanied by the Orchestrations of Don Costa....
