The Jeeves theatrical programme also lists song titles that weren't recorded: "Food Of Love" sung by Aunt Dahlia (the role and song were cut in previews); "Song Of Spode", sung by the villainous Roderick Spode; and "Literary Men" sung by Bertie, Jeeves & Gussie, the melody of which was later reused in Song and Dance - first as the finale "When You Want to Fall in Love" and later as a new song in the first act "Unexpected Song".

Some of the songs from the score managed to find a life after the original production: "Half a Moment" was later recorded by Lloyd Webber's second wife, Sarah Brightman, on the album The Songs That Got Away and the track "Summer Day" was re-written and appeared in new chordal disguise as "Another Suitcase In Another Hall" in Evita. A small section of "Half a Moment" was cut from the song and reused in "Sunset Boulevard" as part of the song "As if we never said goodbye".

The tune of "It's A Pig" appears with different lyrics as "Magdalena", an unsuccessful pop song for Tony Christie in 1977. The melody of "Female Of The Species" appeared earlier than its Jeeves incarnation, with lyrics written and sung by Tim Rice as "The Ballad Of Robert And Peter" in 1973 (for private recording purposes). "The Hallo Song" was a reworked tune, released pre-Jeeves in 1972 as "What A Line To Go Out On" sung by Yvonne Elliman. "Travel Hopefully" is a melody originally written as "Love Is Here" for the first ever Lloyd Webber/Rice project The Likes of Us.
