Wunderbar may refer to:
Kiss Me, Kate is a musical written by Samuel and Bella Spewack with music and lyrics by Cole Porter.
The story involves the production of a musical version of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and the conflict on and off-stage between Fred Graham, the show's director, producer, and star, and his leading lady, his ex-wife Lilli Vanessi. A secondary romance concerns Lois Lane, the actress playing Bianca, and her gambler boyfriend, Bill, who runs afoul of some gangsters. The original production starred Alfred Drake, Patricia Morison, Lisa Kirk and Harold Lang and won the Tony-Award.
Kiss Me, Kate was Porter's response to Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and other integrated musicals; it was the first show he wrote in which the music and lyrics were firmly connected to the script, and it proved to be his biggest hit and the only one of his shows to run for more than 1,000 performances on Broadway. In 1949, it won the first Tony Award presented for Best Musical.
On March 25, 2015 it was announced that the 1949 original cast recording will be inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry for the album's "cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society and the nation’s audio legacy".

Stumbling, falling, crawling
Trying to reach for you
First time I missed you
Made a turn and lost my shoe
Oh my dear street light
You keep me warm at night
My wonder wonder wonder wonder shining star
Wunderbar wonder shining star
Have you ever asked me
Where I am coming from
Have I ever told you
Why I am so alone
Oh my compassionate light
Talk to me when I am tight
My wonder wonder wonder wonder shining star
Wunderbar wonder shining star
Remember our first aqaintance
At your iron post
Sat in my car when
All at once my life got lost
I keep a firm hold on you
Until the morning blue
My wonder wonder wonder wonder shining star
Wunderbar wonder shining star
Glittering snowflakes
Under your golden glow
Wrap myself up well
In my woolen coat
I am lying at your feet
Sweet guardian over my sleep
My wonder wonder wonder wonder shining star
