"Everybody’s Got a Home But Me"

Nice selection of one of the neglected songs from an R&H flop.

"Little Girl Blue" Rodgers and Hart, 1935, from the musical Jumbo

Nancy Sinatra, who has a weekly show on the Sirius channel "Siriusly Sinatra" likes to claim that her father kept many Rodgers and Hart songs from being lost and forgotten. In this one case it seems like she has a point. Written in 1935, Wikipedia lists 44 artists who have covered the song, with only one dated before 1954 when Sinatra covered it on one of his Capitol albums.

Fittingly, from her 1957 album "Alone"

"But Not For Me", originally from Girl Crazy, later used in Crazy for You andNice Work if You Can Get It (and probably other "new" musicals using Gershwin songs).   

It also has one of my favorite "clever lyrics"  (there are slight variations in different version, but the wordplay stays the same):  when almost every plot/ends with a wedding knot/but there's no knot for me.
