To most Americans, Steve Allen is a comedian on "The Tonight Show" and "The Steve Allen Show". But he is also a composer and lyricist who has written over 6000 songs. This work contains the lyrics to 100 of his favourites, from "This Could Be The Start of Something Big", "Gravy Waltz", and "The South Rampart Street Parade" to the themes to "Picnic", "On The Beach" and "Bell, Book, and Candle". Allen provides a commentary for each song.
