It Really Was No Miracle
Song lyrics to It Really Was No Miracle (1939), lyrics by Harburg Arlen, music by Harold Arlen, performed by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz
Dorothy Gale:
It really was no miracle
What happened was just this
The wind began to switch, the house to pitch
And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch
Just then the Witch, to satisfy an itch
Went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch
And oh, what happened then was rich

A Star is Born
A Star is Born (1954) starring Judy Garland, James Mason
As a band singer guided to heights of show-business success by an alcoholic ex-matinee idol, Judy Garland performs one superb song after another (most by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin) in a production – also starring James Mason and directed by George Cukor – that exhilarates with its craft and style even as it moves toward a heartbreaking finale. Shortened after its 1954 premiere and reconstructed to near its original length in 1983, A Star Is Born endures as one of Hollywood’s supreme triumphs.

Blues in the Night [song lyrics]
Song lyrics to Blues in the Night (1941). Music by Harold Arlen, Lyrics by Johnny Mercer. Performed by John Garfield in Thank Your Lucky Stars
My mama done told me when I was in knee-pants
My mama done told me, she said Son
A woman will sweet-talk ya, she’ll give you the big eye
But when that sweet talkin’ is done
A woman’s a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who’ll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
