Chords for Patience & Prudence: Tonight You Belong To Me, 'Live' on The Perry Como Show

_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Just a few [A] weeks ago I was driving home [N] from Manhattan and I heard a wonderful little record on the radio, a car radio, of course.
It ranked number 23rd, I think it was 23rd in the surveys.
By the time I got to Sam's point it was number 11.
This week of course it happens to be number 6 all over the country.
And of course you know the song.
It's a wonderful old song, Tonight You Belong To Me, written by a real nice person, Billy Rose.
_ We invited two young ladies who made this record to come to our [Ab] show.
[B] All the way from California, they're two youngsters, I know you're going to love them.
And this is their first professional appearance.
I think they have kind of a cute story that goes along with the making of the recording.
So let's talk, ladies and gentlemen, to Prudence and Patience.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now let me see if I remember correctly, _ _ you're Patience.
No, I'm Prudence.
I'm 11 years old.
[G] And you're?
I'm Patience, I'm 16.
Patience, you're only 14.
Well, I'm going to be 16. _ _ _
You're not Patience, you're impatient.
_ _ _ [D] Well anyway, here we are, Patience, Prudence and Perry, [Eb] the Andrews reunited. _
_ I like it.
The track that you made, I know it's called Tonight You Belong To Me, that's an oldie.
You know, I used to sing that thing quite a few years ago when I was in the [N] band, and I made a record of it.
How did it sell?
_ _ _ Yeah.
Now how is your record selling?
Well, I think that it sold 6,000. _
_ No, he said 60,000.
He said 6,000.
I got a little flash for both of you.
It's 600,000.
Gee, that's a lot of zeros.
_ _ Yeah, but those are not zeros you take to the bank every week. _ _ _
Why do I love you? _ _
Is your daddy and mommy, are they saving the money for you?
My mom's saving our money so I can go to college.
Oh, that's fine.
I kind of had to work my way through college, you know, _ shopping, shears, fluffing, brushing. _
I think you ought to do something that you know best, and besides, Bobby is going to have a fit, I tell you.
He's giving me a very good day.
So why don't you do something you know best.
Would you like to sing the song for us the way [D] you recorded it?
_ _ _ [Em] Nervous?
A little.
Don't [N] worry about it.
I'll stay right with you.
Mr.
Ayer, a little music for our two Hollywood friends here. _
And friends, this is it, the recording that's causing such a wonderful comment, and it's selling an awful lot of records, thanks to you folks who buy them.
Tonight you belong to me, this is Patience and Prudence.
Don't go away.
I won't go away.
I'm just going to be right over there, and I'll be right back.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I know you belong _ [Db] to _ _ Patience.
[Dbm] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Although you're apart, _ [Db] _ _ Patience has my heart.
I'll _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] be _ waiting _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
for you, [Ab] once more.
_ [F] _
Baby, _ [Bb] you [Fm] have _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ left us all, _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] because we [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dbm] can't wait to dream _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Ab] once more.
Let's [F] dream, _ _ [Bb] we're still dreaming, and _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ we'll be _
_ _ [Db] gone, _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] we'll be gone.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ That was just wonderful.
I'm very happy that you picked our show to make your first _ professional appearance.
Is there anything I can do that would make your visit to New York a little more pleasant?
_ _ Well, Mr.
Como, we've never had on makeup before.
Could you tell us how to get it off?
_ _ _ Well, I'm glad you mentioned that, because I think you ought to use the products of one of our sponsors, _ Kleenex. _ _ _ _
I just want to assure you, they kind of pop out when it's turned. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That was really nice of her to talk to.
We have some very nice people [C] for you next week.
We have the very exciting Hollywood Romantic team, Hab Hunter and Natalie [B] Wood.
[D] Come in.
_ _ [D] Well.
_ Good night, Mr.
Como.
Good night, sweetheart, and thank you for coming to our first show.
_ _ And thank [N] you.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And you had to tell him I was only 14.
Come on. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
