ABA DABA HONEYMOON

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Said the Chimpie to the Monk,

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Said the Monkey to the Chimp.

All night long they'd chatter a way, All day long they were happy and gay,

Swinging and singing in their honky, tonkey way.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," means Monk I love but you,"

"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk, means "Chimp, I love you too,"

Then the big baboon, one night in June, he married them, and very soon

They went upon their aba, daba, honeymoon.

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE

You‘ve got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative, don‘t mess with Mr. In Between.

You‘ve got to spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the minimum and

Have faith or pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene.

To illustrate my last remark, Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark.

What did they do, just when everything looked so dark, looked so dark? Man, they said,

You‘ve got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative

Latch on to the affirmative, don‘t mess with Mr. In Between, no,

Don‘t mess with Mr. In Between, no, don‘t mess with Mr. In Between.



AFTER YOU'VE GONE

Now won't you listen, honey, while I say, "How could you tell me that you're going away?"

Don't say that we must part. Don't break your baby's heart.

You know I've loved you for these many years, loved you night and day

Oh, honey, baby, won't you see my tears? Listen while I say......



After you've gone, and left me crying; After you've gone, there's no denying

You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad, you'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it. There'll come a time when you'll regret it

Some day when you grow lonely, your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only

After you've gone, after you've gone away.



After I'm gone, after we break up; after I'm gone, you're gonna wake up

You will find, you were blind to let somebody come and change your mind.

After the years we've been together, their joy and tears, all kinds of weather.

Some day, blue and down hearted, you'll long to be with me right back where you started

After I'm gone, after I'm gone away.



AIN‘T MISBEHAVIN‘

No one to talk with, all by myself, no one to walk with, but I‘m happy on the shelf,

Ain‘t misbehavin‘ I‘m savin‘ my love for you

I know for certain the one I love, I‘m through with flirtin‘ it‘s just you I‘m thinkin‘ of

Ain‘t misbehavin‘ I‘m savin‘ my love for you

Like Jack Horner in the corner, don‘t go nowhere, what do I care?

Your kisses are worth waitin‘ for, believe me

I don‘t stay out late, don‘t care to go, I‘m home about eight, just me and my radio

Ain‘t misbehavin‘ I‘m savin‘ my love for you.



AIN‘T SHE SWEET

Ain‘t she sweet? See her coming down the street.

Now I ask you very confidentially, ain‘t she sweet?

Ain‘t she nice? Look her over once or twice.

Now I ask you very confidentially, ain‘t she nice?

Just cast an eye in her direction

Oh, me! Oh, my! Ain‘t that perfection?

I repeat, don‘t you think that‘s kind of neat?

And I ask you very confidentially, ain‘t she sweet?



AIN‘T WE GOT FUN?

Every mornin‘, every evenin‘, ain‘t we got fun? Not much money, oh, but honey, ain‘t we got fun?

The rent‘s unpaid, dear, we haven‘t a car, but anyway, dear, we‘ll stay as we are.

Even if we owe the grocer, don‘t we have fun? Tax collector‘s getting closer, still we have fun.

There‘s nothing surer, the rich get rich and the poor get poorer.

In the meantime, in between time, ain‘t we got fun?



ALBUQUERQUE IS A TURKEY

Albuquerque is a turkey, and he‘s feathered and he‘s fine,

Albuquerque is a turkey, and he‘s absolutely mine.

He‘s the best pet you can get yet, better than a dog or cat,

And he wobbles and he gobbles, and he‘s awfully proud of that.

Albuquerque is a turkey, and he‘s happy in his bed,

Because for Thanks…giving dinner, we eat egg foo yung instead!



ALEXANDER‘S RAGTIME BAND

Come on and hear, come on and hear Alexander‘s Ragtime Band

Come on and hear, come on and hear, it‘s the best band in the land

They can play a bugle call like you never heard before

So natural that you want to go to war

That is the bestest band what am my honey lamb

Come on along, come on along, let me take you by the hand

Up to the man, up to the man who‘s the leader of the band

And if you care to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime

Come on and hear, come on and hear Alexander‘s Ragtime Band.



ALL I DO IS DREAM OF YOU

All I do is dream of you the whole night through. With the dawn I still go on and dream of you

You're every thought, you're everything, you're every song I ever sing

Summer, winter, autumn and spring.

And were there more than twenty-four hours a day, they'd be spent in sweet content, dreaming away.

When skies are grey, when skies are blue, morning, noon and nighttime too,

All I do the whole day through is dream of you.

All I do is dream of you the whole night through. With the dawn I still go on and dream of you

You're every thought, you're everything, you're every song I ever sing

All I do the whole day through is dream of you

All I do the whole day through is dream of you.



ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM

Dreeeeeam, dream, dream, dream, dreeeeam, dream, dream, dream….

When I want you in my arms, when I want you and all your charms

Whenever I want you all I have to do is dreeeeam, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night and I need you to hold me tight,

Whenever I want you all I have to do is dreeeeeeeeam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine anytime, night or day

Only trouble is gee whiz, I‘m dreaming my life a-way

I need you so that I could die, I love you so and that is why

Whenever I want you all I have to do is dreeeeam (Repeat last 4 lines)



ALL I NEED IS THE GIRL

Once my clothes were shabby, tailors called me Cabbie.

So I took a vow, said this bum'll be Beau Brummel

Now I'm smooth and snappy, now my tailor's happy

I'm the cat's meow, my wardrobe is a wow!

Paris silk, Haris tweed

There's only one thing I need

Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest, all I need now is the girl

Got my striped tie, got my hopes high

Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm,

Now all I need's the girl to go with'em

If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl

And if she'll say "My, darling, I'm yours"

I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed

All I really need is the girl



ALL MY LIFE'S A CIRCLE

All my life's a circle, sunrise and sundown;

The moon rolls thru the nighttime till the daybreak comes around.

All my life's a circle but I can't tell you why;

The seasons spinning 'round again, the years keep rollin' by.

It seems like I've been here before, I can't remember when;

But I have this funny feeling that we'll all be together again.

There's no straight lines make up my life and all my roads have bends;

There's no clear-cut beginnings and so far no dead-ends.

Chorus:

I found you a thousand times, I guess you done the same;

But then we lose each other, it's like a children's game;

As I find you here again a thought runs through my mind;

Our love is like a circle, let's go 'round one more time.

Chorus



ALL MY LOVING

Close your eyes and I‘ll kiss you, tomorrow I‘ll miss you

Remember I‘ll always be true

And then while I‘m away I‘ll write home every day

And I‘ll send all my loving to you



I‘ll pretend that I‘m kissing the lips I am missing

And hope that my dreams will come true

And then while I‘m away I‘ll write home every day

And I‘ll send all my loving to you

All my loving I will send to you

All my loving, darling, I‘ll be true.



ALL OF ME

All of me, why not take all of me? Can‘t you see I‘m no good without you?

Take my lips, I want to lose them. Take my arms, I‘ll never use them.

Your good-byes left me with eyes that cry. How can I go on without you?

You took the part that once was my heart, so why not take all of me?





ALL SHOOK UP

A-well-a bless my soul what‘s wrong with me, I‘m itching like a man on a fuzzy tree

My friends say I‘m acting queer as a bug, I‘m in love, UH! I‘m all shook up

Mm mm mm mm mm, yeah yeah yeah

My hands are shakey and my knees are weak, I can‘t seem to stand on my own two feet

Who do you thank when you have such luck? I‘m in love, UH! I‘m all shook up

Mm mm mm mm mm, yeah yeah yeah

Please don‘t ask what‘s on my mind, I‘m a little mixed up but I‘m feeling fine

When I‘m near that girl that I love best, my heart beats so it scares me to death

When she touched my hand, what a chill I got, her kisses are like a volcano on top

I‘m proud to say that she‘s my buttercup, I‘m in love, UH! I‘m all shook up.

Mm mm mm mm mm, yeah yeah yeah

Mm mm mm mm mm, yeah yeah yeah

My tongue gets tired when I try to speak, my insides shake like a leaf on a tree

There's only one cure for this body of mine, that's to have the girl that I love so fine.

(When she touched my hand.....)



ALWAYS

I'll be loving you, always, with a love that's true, always

When the things you've planned need a helping hand

I will understand, always, always.

Days may not be fair, always. That's when I'll be there, always.

Not for just an hour, not for just a day

Not for just a year, but always.



AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now I see.



AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain.

For purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plain.

America! America! God shed His grace on thee.

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.



Oh, beautiful for patriot dream, that sees beyond the years.

Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears.

America! America! God shed His grace on thee.

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.



ANGEL EYES

Try to think that love‘s not around, but it‘s uncomfortably near

This old heart ain‘t gaining no ground because my Angel Eyes ain‘t here.

Angel Eyes, that old devil sent, they glow unbearably bright

Need I say that my love‘s misspent, misspent with Angel Eyes tonight

So drink up, all you people, order anything you see

Have fun, you happy people, the drink and the laugh‘s on me

Pardon me, but I gotta run, the fact‘s uncommonly clear

Gotta find who‘s now number one, and why my Angel Eyes ain‘t here;

Why my Angel Eyes ain‘t here; ‗Scuse me while I disappear!



ANY TIME

Any time you're feeling lonely, any time you're feeling blue,

Any time you feel downhearted, that will prove your love for me is true.

Any time you're thinking 'bout me, that's the time I'll be thinkin' of you

So any time you say you want me back again, that's the time I'll come back home to you.



APRIL SHOWERS

Though April showers may come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in May

So if it‘s raining, have no regrets, because it isn‘t raining rain, you know,

It‘s raining violets

And when you see clouds upon the hills, you soon will see crowds of daffodils

So keep on looking for a bluebird, and listening for his song

Whenever April showers come along.



ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?

Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight?

Are you sorry we drifted apart?

Does your memory stray to a bright summer day,

When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?

Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?

Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?

Tell me, dear, are you lonesome tonight?



AULD LANG SYNE

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne

We‘ll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.



AUTUMN LEAVES/LES FEUILLES MORTES

Oh! je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes, des jours heureux où nous étions amis

En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle, et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourdhui.

Les Feuilles Mortes se ramassent à la pelle, tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié

Les Feuilles Mortes se ramassent à la pelle, les souvenirs et les regrets aussi

Et le vent du Nord les emporte dans la nuit froide de l'oubli

Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié la chanson que tu me chantais.



C‘est une chanson qui nous ressemble, toi tu m‘aimais et je t‘aimais.

Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble, toi qui m‘aimais moi qui t‘aimais.

Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s‘aiment, tout doucement sans faire de bruit.

Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants désunis.



The falling leaves drift by my window, the Autumn Leaves of red and gold.

I see your lips, the summer kisses, the sunburned hands I used to hold.

Since you went away the days grow long, and soon I‘ll hear old winter‘s song.

But I miss you most of all, my darling, when Autumn Leaves start to fall.



AVALON

Ev'ry morn' my memories stray across the sea where flying fishes play

And as the night is falling, I find myself recalling that blissful, all-enthralling day

I found my love in Avalon, beside the bay

I left my love in Avalon, and sailed a way

I dream of her and Avalon from dusk 'til dawn

And so I think I'll travel on to Avalon

Just before I sailed away, she said the word I longed to hear her say

I tenderly caressed her, close to my heart I pressed her, upon that golden yesterday

chorus



BABY FACE

Baby Face, you've got the cutest little Baby Face, there's not another one could

Take your place, Baby Face,

My poor heart is jumpin; you sure have started somethin'

Baby Face; I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace,

I didn't need a shove 'Cause I just fell in love with your pretty Baby Face.



BAY MIR BISTU SHEYN

Of all the girls I've known, and I've known some, until I first met you I was lonesome

And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light

And this old world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit you deserve expressions that really fit you

And so I've wracked my brain, hoping to explain

All the things that you do to me



Bay mir bistu sheyn, please let me explain, bay mir bistu sheyn means that you're grand

Bay mir bistu sheyn, again I'll explain, it means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "Bella, bella," even say "Wunderbar."

Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bay mir bistu sheyn, so kiss me and say you'll understand.



Bay mir bistu sheyn, bay mir hostu kheyn, bay mir bistu sheynster oyf der velt

Bay mir bistu git, bay mir hostu "it", bay mir bistu tayerer fun gelt.

Fil sheyne meydlekh hobn gevolt nemen mir, un fun zey ale oysgeklibn hob ikh nor dikh.

Bay mir bistu sheyn, again I'll explain, it means you're the fairest in the land,

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE

The moon belongs to everyone, the best things in life are free

The stars belong to everyone, they gleam there for you and me.

The flowers in Spring, the robins that sing

The sunbeams that shine, they‘re yours, they‘re mine!

And love can come to everyone, the best things in life are free

The best things in life are free.



BEYOND THE SEA

Somewhere beyond the sea, somewhere waiting for me,

My lover stands on golden sands

And watches the ships that go sailing.

Somewhere beyond the sea, he‘s there watching for me

If I could fly like birds on high

Then straight to his arms I‘d go sailing.

It‘s far beyond a star, it‘s near beyond the moon.

I know beyond a doubt, my heart will lead me there soon.

We‘ll meet beyond the shore, we‘ll kiss just as before.

Happy we‘ll be beyond the sea and never again I‘ll go sailing.



BILL BAILEY, WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME

Won‘t you come home, Bill Bailey, won‘t you come home, she moans the whole day long.

I‘ll do the cooking, honey, I‘ll pay the rent, I know I‘ve done you wrong.

‗Member that rainy evening I drove you out, with nothin‘ but a fine tooth comb:?

I know I‘m to blame, well, ain‘t that a shame? Bill Bailey, won‘t you please come home?



BIRD DOG

Johnny is a joker (he‘s a bird) a very funny joker (he‘s a bird)

But when he jokes my honey (he‘s a dog), his jokin‘ ain‘t so funny (what a dog)

Johnny is the joker who‘s tryin‘ to steal my baby (he‘s a bird dog!)



Johnny sings a love song (like a bird), he sings the sweetest love song (you ever heard)

But when he sings to my gal (what a howl), to me he‘s just a wolf dog (on the prowl)

Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby (he‘s a bird dog!)

Hey, bird dog, get away from my quail; hey, bird dog, you‘re on the wrong trail.

Bird dog, you‘d better leave my lovey dove alone.

Hey, bird dog, get away from my chick; hey, bird dog, you‘d better get away quick.

Bird dog, you‘d better find a chicken little of your own.

Johnny kissed the teacher (he‘s a bird), he tiptoed up to reach her (what a bird)

He‘s the teacher‘s pet now (he‘s a dog), what he wants he can get now (what a dog)

He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby (he‘s a bird dog!)

Chorus (―Hey,bird dog….‖)



BIRDS AND THE BEES

Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees, and the flowers and the trees,

And the moon up above, and a thing called love.

Let me tell ya 'bout the stars in the sky, and a girl and a guy,

And the way they could kiss, on a night like this

When I look into your big brown eyes, it's so very plain to see,

That it's time you learned about the facts of life, starting from A to Z.

Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees, and the flowers and the trees,

And the moon up above, and a thing called love,

And a thing called love, and a thing called love

BLOWIN‘ IN THE WIND

How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?

Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes and how many times must the cannonballs fly before they‘re forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin‘ in the wind, the answer is blowin‘ in the wind.



How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?

Yes and how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?

Yes and how many deaths will it take ‗til he knows that too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin‘ in the wind, the answer is blowin‘ in the wind.



How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?

Yes and how many years can some people exist before they‘re allowed to be free?

Yes and how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn‘t see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin‘ in the wind, the answer is blowin‘ in the wind.



BLUE CHRISTMAS

I‘ll have a blue Christmas without you. I‘ll be so blue thinking about you.

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree

Won‘t mean a thing if you‘re not here with me.

I‘ll have a blue Christmas that‘s certain. And when that blue heartache starts hurtin‘

You‘ll be doin‘ all right with your Christmas of white

But I‘ll have a blue, blue Christmas.



BLUE MOON

Blue Moon you saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own

Blue Moon you knew just what I was there for

You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for

CHORUS:

And then there suddenly appeared before me the only one my arms will ever hold

I heard somebody whisper please adore me

And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold

Blue Moon now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own

CHORUS



BLUE SKIES

Blue skies smiling at me, nothing but blue skies do I see

Blue birds singing a song, nothing but blue birds all day long.

Never saw the sun shining so bright, never saw things going so right

Noticing the days hurrying by, when you‘re in love my how they fly

Blue days all of them gone, nothing but blue skies from now on.





BLUE SUEDE SHOES

Well, it's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go cat go!

CHORUS:

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.

You can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down, step in my face slander my name all over the place

Do anything that you want to do but uh-uh, honey, lay off of my shoes…CHORUS

Well, you can burn my house, steal my car, drink my cider from my old fruit jar

Do anything that you want to do but uh-uh, honey, lay off of my shoes…CHORUS

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes (X4), you can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes.



BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO

You tell me that you‘re leaving, I can‘t believe it‘s true.

Girl, there‘s just no living without you.

Don‘t take your love away from me. Don‘t you leave my heart in misery

Remember when you held me tight, and you kissed me all through the night.

If you go, then I‘ll be blue. Breaking up is hard to do.

Think of all that we‘ve been through. Breaking up is hard to do.

They say that breaking up is hard to do, now I know, I know that it‘s true.

Don‘t say that this is the end, instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again.

I beg of you, don‘t say goodbye, can‘t we give our love a brand new try?

Yeah, come on babe, let‘s start anew, ‗cause breaking up is hard to do.

Breaking up is so very hard to do.



BRING BACK MY NEIGHBORS TO ME

Last night as I lay on my pillow

Last night as I lay on my bed

I stuck my feet out of the window

In the morning my neighbors were dead

Bring back, bring back, oh, bring back my neighbors to me, to me

Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my neighbors to me.



BRING ME SUNSHINE

Bring me sunshine in your smile, make me happy all the while

In this world where we live there should be more happiness

So much joy we can give to each brand new bright tomorrow

Make me happy through the years, never bring me any tears

Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above

Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.



BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME?

They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob

When there was earth to plow or guns to bear I was always there right on the job

They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead

Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run, I made it run against time

Once I built a railroad, now it's done, brother, can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower, up to the sun, bricks and mortar and lime

Once I built a tower, now it's done, brother, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell, full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum

Half a million boots went slogging through Hell, and I was the kid with the drum

Say, don't you remember, you called me "Al." It was Al all the time.

Say, don't you remember, I was your pal, brother, can you spare a dime?



BUFFALO GALS

As I was walking down the street, down the street, down the street

A pretty girl I chanced to meet, under the silvery moon.

Buffalo gals, won‘t you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight,

Buffalo gals, won‘t you come out tonight and dance by the light of the moon.

I asked her if she‘d stop and talk, stop and talk, stop and talk,

Her feet covered up the whole sidewalk, she was fair to view.

REFRAIN

I asked her if she‘d be my wife, be my wife, be my wife

Then I‘d be happy all my life, if she‘d marry me.

REFRAIN



BURPING BUBBLES

Tiny bubbles in my Coke, make me hiccup, make me choke,

Tiny bubbles make me shake all over,

With the feeling that I‘m gonna bury until the end of time.

So here‘s to soda pop, it‘s good to the very last drop, but if you drink too much, your teeth will rot!

Tiny bubbles in my Coke, make me hiccup, make me choke,

Tiny bubbles make me shake all over,

With the feeling that I‘m gonna burp until the end of time.

With the feeling that I‘m gonna belch until the end of time.



BUSHEL AND A PECK

I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck

Hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap, barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep

About you, about you, 'cause I love you a bushel and a peck, y' bet your pretty neck I do.

Doodle oodle doodle, doodle oodle doodle, doodle oodle oodle ooo.

I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck though you make my heart a wreck

Make my heart a wreck and you make my life a mess, make my life a mess, yes a mess of happiness

About you, about you, 'cause I love you a bushel and a peck, y' bet your pretty neck I do.

Doodle oodle doodle, doodle oodle doodle, doodle oodle oodle ooo.



BUTTON UP YOUR OVERCOAT

Button up your overcoat when the wind is free

Take good care of yourself, you belong to me

Eat an apple every day, get to bed by three

Take good care of yourself, you belong to me

Be careful crossing streets, oo oo, don't eat meats, oo oo, cut out sweets, oo oo

You'll get a pain and ruin your tum tum!

Keep away from bootleg hootch when you're on a spree

Take good care of yourself, you belong to me



Button up your overcoat when the wind is free

Take good care of yourself, you belong to me.

Wear your flannel underwear when you climb a tree

Take good care of yourself, you belong to me.

Don't sit on hornets' tails, oo oo, or on nails, oo oo, or third rails, oo oo

You'll get a pain and ruin your tum tum!

Don't go out with college boys when you're on a spree

Take good care of yourself (X3), you belong to me!



BYE BYE BLACKBIRD

Pack up all my cares and woes, here I go, singin‘ low, bye, bye blackbird

Where somebody waits for me, sugar‘s sweet, so is she, bye, bye, blackbird.

No one here to love and understand me, oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me

Make my bed and light the light, I‘ll arrive late tonight

Blackbird, blackbird, blackbird, bye, bye.

BYE BYE, BLUES

Bye, bye, blues, bye, bye, blues; bells ring, birds sing, sun is shining, no more pining

Just we two, smiling through; don‘t sigh, don‘t cry, bye, bye, blues.



BYE, BYE, LOVE

There goes my baby with someone new; she sure looks happy I sure am blue

She was my baby till he stepped in;goodbye to romance that might have been

Bye, bye, love, bye, bye happiness, hello loneliness, I think I'm gonna cry

Bye, bye, love, bye, bye sweet caress, hello emptiness, I feel like I could die,

Bye, bye, my love, goodbye.

I'm through with romance, I'm through with love.

I'm through with countin' the stars above

And here's the reason that I'm so free:

My lovin' baby is through with me CHORUS (Bye, bye, love….)



BY THE BEAUTIFUL SEA

By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea, you and me, you and me, oh, how happy we‘ll be

When each wave comes a-rolling in we will duck or swim

And we‘ll float and look around the water

Over and under and then up for air, Pa is rich, Ma is rich, so now what do we care?

I love to be beside your side, beside the sea, beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea.



BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON

By the light of the silvery moon, I want to spoon, to my honey I‘ll croon love‘s tune

Honey-moon, keep a shinin‘ in June

Your silvery beams will bring love‘s dreams,

We‘ll be cuddlin‘ soon, by the silvery moon.

By the light (not the dark, but the light) of the silvery moon (not the sun, but the moon)

I want to spoon (not knife, but spoon), to my honey I‘ll croon love‘s tune.

Honey-moon, (not the sun, but the moon), keep a‘shinin‘ in June (not May, but June)

Your silvery beams will bring love‘s dreams, we‘ll be cuddlin‘ soon, (not later, but soon) .

By the silvery moon (not the gold – en moon!)

CAMPTOWN RACES

O the Camptown ladies sing this song, dooda dooda

The Camptown race track's five miles long, oh dooda day

Goin' to run all night,

Goin' to run all day

I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag,

Somebody bet on the bay.

I went down South with my hat caved in, dooda dooda

I come back North with a pocket full of tin, oh dooda day

CHORUS



CAN'T BUY ME LOVE

Can't buy me lo-ove, lo-ove, can't buy me lo-ove

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright

I'll get you anything my friend, if it makes you feel alright

'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.



I'll give you all I've got to give, if you say you want me too

I may not have a lot to give, but what I got I'll give to you

'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me lo-ove, everybody tells me so

Can't buy me lo-ove, no, no, no....NO!

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied

Tell me that you want the kind of things that money just can't buy

I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me lo-ove, lo-ove, can't buy me lo-o-ove.



CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE

Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay? Would it be a sin, if I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows, surely to the sea, darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life, too, for I can't help falling in love with you





CAROLINA IN THE MORNING

Nothing could be finer than to be in Caro-li-na in the morn---ing,

No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morn---ing.

Where the morning glories twine around the door,

Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more.

Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morn---ing,

Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup at dawn--ing,

If I had Aladdin‘s lamp for only a day, I‘d make a wish and here‘s what I‘d say:

Nothing could be finer than to be in Caro-li-na in the morn-------ing.



CAROLINA MOON

Carolina moon keep shining, shining on the one who waits for me

Carolina moon I'm pining, pining for the place I long to be

How I'm hoping tonight you'll go, go to the right window

Scatter your light say I'm all right please do

Tell her that I'm blue and lonely, dreamy Carolina moon



CHANUKAH, O CHANUKAH

Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah, come light the Menorah,

Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora.

Gather round the table, we'll give you a treat.

Dreydls to play with, Latkes to eat.

And while we are playing,

The candles are burning low.

One for each night, they shed a sweet light,

To remind us of days long ago.

One for each night, they shed a sweet light,

To remind us of days long ago.



OY KHANIKE

Khanike, Oy Khanike, a yontef a sheyner,

A lustiker, a freylekher, nito nokh azeyner.

Ale nakht in dreydl shpiln mir

Frishe, heyse latkes esn mir.

Zogt ―al-hanisim,‖ loybt got far di nisim, un kumt gikher tantsn in kon.

Zogt ―al-hanisim,‖ loybt got far di nisim, un kumt gikher tantsn in kon.



CHAPEL OF LOVE

Spring is here and the sky is so very blue, wo-o-o-oh

Birds all sing, as if they knew

Today‘s the day we‘ll say ―I do‖

And we‘ll never be lonely any more.

Because we‘re goin‘ to the chapel and we‘re gonna get married

Goin‘ to the chapel and we‘re gonna get married

Gee I really love you and we‘re gonna get married

Goin‘ to the chapel of love.

Bells will ring, and the sun is gonna shine, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh,

I‘m gonna be his, and.. he‘s gonna be mine

We‘re gonna love, until the end of time

And we‘ll never be lonely any more.

CHORUS



CHARLESTON

Charleston, charleston, made in Carolina. Some dance, some prance I'll say better than finer

Than the charleston, charleston, boy, how you can shuffle

Every step you do leads to something new. Man, I'm telling you it's a lopazoo

Buck dance, wing dance will be a back number

But the charleston, the new charleston, that dance is surely a comer

Sometime you'll dance it one time, that dance called the charleston, made in South Caroline

Sometime you'll dance it one time, that dance called the charleston, made in South Caroline







CHEEK TO CHEEK

Heaven, I'm in Heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in Heaven, and the cares that hang around me through the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh! I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak

But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

Oh! I love to go out fishing in a river or a creek

But I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me, I want my arm about you

The charm about you will carry me through to

Heaven, I'm in Heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek, when we're out together dancing,

Out together dancing, out together dancing cheek to cheek.



CHEERS THEME

Making your way in the world today takes everything you got

Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.

Wouldn‘t you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name

And they're always glad you came

You wanna be where you can see troubles are all the same

You wanna be where everybody knows your name

You wanna go where people know people are all the same

You wanna go where everybody knows your name

Climbing the walls when no one calls; you‘ve lost at love again

And the more you‘re down and out, the more you need a friend

When you long to hear a kind ―hello‖

(Sometimes you want to go……)



CHERRY PINK AND APPLE BLOSSOM WHITE

It's cherry pink and apple blossom white, when your true lover comes your way

It's cherry pink and apple blossom white, the poets say.

The story goes that once a cherry tree, beside an apple tree did grow

And there a boy once met his bride to be long long ago

The boy looked into her eyes, it was a sight to enthrall,

The breezes joined in their sighs, the blossoms started to fall.

And as they gently caressed, the lovers looked up to find,

The branches of the two trees were intertwined.

And that is why the poets always write, if there's a new moon bright above

It's cherry pink and apple blossom white, when you're in love



CHRISTMAS ISLAND

How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?

How'd you like to spend a holiday away across the sea?

How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?

How'd you like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?

How'd you like to stay up late, like the islanders do,

Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe?

If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island,

You will never stray for ev'ry day your Christmas dreams come true.

On Christmas Island, your dreams come true. (On Christmas Is - land)



THE CHRISTMAS SONG

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose,

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folds dressed up like Eskimos.

Ev‘rybody knows a turkey and mistletoe help to make the season bright.

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa‘s on his way; he‘s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.

And ev‘ry mother‘s child is gonna spy to see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so, I‘m offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety-two.

Although it‘s been said many times, many ways, ―Merry Christmas to you.‖

THE CHRISTMAS WALTZ

Frosted window panes, candles gleaming inside, painted candy canes on the tree

Santa‘s on his way; he‘s filled his sleigh with things, things for you and for me

It‘s that time of year, when the world falls in love, every song you hear seems to say

―Merry Christmas, may your New Year dreams come true.‖

And this song of mine, in three-quarter time,

Wishes you and yours the same thing too.



THE CIRCLE GAME

Yesterday a child came out to wander. Caught a dragonfly inside a jar

Fearful when the sky was full of thunder, and tearful at the falling of a star

Then the child moved 10 times round the seasons. Skated over 10 clear frozen streams

Words like "when you're older" must appease him and promises of "someday" make his dreams

And the seasons they go round and round

And the painted ponies go up and down

We're captive on a carousel of time

We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came

And go round and round and round in the circle game.

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now

Cartwheels turn to carwheels through the town

And they tell him, take your time, it won't be long now

'Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down

CHORUS

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty

Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true

There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty

Before the last revolving year is through.

CHORUS



CITY OF NEW ORLEANS

Riding on the City of New Orleans, Illinois Central Monday morning rail

Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders, three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.

All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out at Kankakee

Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.

Passin' trains that have no names, freight yards full of old black men

And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.

Good morning America how are you?

Don't you know me I'm your native son,

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Dealin' card games with the young man in the club car, penny a point ain't no one keepin' score.

Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle, feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor.

And the sons of pullman porters and the sons of engineers

Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel.

Mothers with their babes asleep, are rockin' to the gentle beat

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

CHORUS

Nighttime on The City of New Orleans, changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.

Half way home, we'll be there by morning, through the Mississippi darkness, rolling down to the sea.

And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream, and the steel rails still ain't heard the

news.

The conductor sings his song again, the passengers will please refrain

This train's got the disappearing railroad blues.

Good night, America, how are you?

Don't you know me I'm your native son,

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.



CLEMENTINE

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling, Clementine

You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.



In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine

Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter, Clementine.



Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling, Clementine

You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.



CLEMENTINE-―The Whole Story‖

In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine

Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter, Clementine.

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling, Clementine

You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number nine.

Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine.



Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine

Hit her foot against a splinter, fell in-to the foaming brine.

CHORUS

Ruby lips above the water blowing bubbles soft and fine

As for me, I was no swimmer and I lost my Clementine



How I missed her, how I missed her, how I missed my Clementine.

Then I kissed her little sister and for-got dear Clementine

CHORUS



COCKLES AND MUSSELS (MOLLY MALONE)

In Dublin's fair city, where girls are so pretty,

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Ma-lone,

As she wheeled her wheel-barrow through streets broad and narrow,

Crying, "Cockles and mussels, a-live, alive-o!"

"A-live, alive-o! A-live, alive-o!"

Crying, "Cockles and mussels, a-live, alive-o!"

She was a fish-monger, but sure 'twas no wonder,

For so were her father and mother be-fore,

And they each wheeled their barrow through streets broad and narrow,

Crying, "Cockles and mussels, a-live, alive-o!"

(CHORUS)

She died of a fever, and no one could save her.

And that was the end of sweet Molly Ma-lone,

But her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow,

Crying, "Cockles and mussels, a-live, alive-o!"

(CHORUS)



CONEY ISLAND WASHBOARD

Down by the beach lived the sweetest little peach

And I must say she just had the cutest way

Playing a chord up-on a wash-board

The folks would gather 'round, from everywhere in town, just to hear her play.

Coney Island washboard she would play

You could hear her on the boardwalk every day

Soap suds all around, little bubbles on the ground

Rub-a-dub-a-dub in her little tub, all those tunes she found

Little thimbles on her fingers made the noise

She played "Charleston" on the laundry for the boys

She could rag a tune right through the knees of a brand new pair of blue denim jeans

Oh Coney Island washboard roundelay.



CONSIDER YOURSELF

Consider yourself at home

Consider yourself one of the family

We've taken to you so strong

It's clear we're going to get along

Consider yourself well in

Consider yourself part of the furniture

There isn't a lot to spare

Who cares, whatever we've got we share

If it should chance to be we should see some harder days

Empty larder days, why grouse

Always a chance to meet somebody to foot the bill

Then the drinks are on the house

Consider yourself our mate

We don't want to have no fuss

For after some consideration we can state

Consider yourself one of us



COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

When I‘m worried and I can‘t sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep

And I fall asleep, counting my blessings.

When my bankroll is getting small, I think of when I had none at all

And I fall asleep, counting my blessings.

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads

And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds.

If you‘re worried and you can‘t sleep, just count your blessings instead of sheep

And you‘ll fall asleep, counting your blessings.



CRAZY RHYTHM

Crazy rhythm, here‘s the doorway, I‘ll go my way, you‘ll go your way

Crazy rhythm, from now on we‘re through

Here is where we have a showdown, I‘m too high-hat, you‘re too low-down

Crazy rhythm, here‘s goodbye to you!

They say that when a high-brow meets a low-brow walkin‘ along Broadway

Soon the high-brow, he has no-brow, ain‘t it a shame? And you‘re to blame.

What‘s the use of prohibition? You produce the same condition.

Crazy rhythm, from now on we‘re through. Crazy rhythm, I‘ve gone crazy too!



CROCODILE ROCK

La, la, la, la, la, la, etc.

I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had lots of fun

Holdin‘ hands and skimmin‘ stones, had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own

But the biggest kick I ever got was doin‘ a thing called the Crocodile Rock

While other kids were rockin‘ round the clock

We were hoppin‘ and boppin‘ to the Crocodile Rock, well

Crocodile Rockin‘ is something shocking when your feet just can‘t keep still

I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will

Lordy mama, those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight

And Crocodile Rockin‘ was ou—ou—out of sigh-i-i-i-t.

La, la la la la la, la, etc.

But the years went by and rock just died, Susie went and left me for some foreign guy

Long nights cryin‘ by the record machine,

Dreamin‘ ‗bout my Chevy and my old blue jeans

But they‘ll never kill the thrills we got burnin‘ up to the crocodile rock

Learnin‘ fast as weeks went past, we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last well Crocodile

Rockin‘ is something shocking when your feet just can‘t keep still

I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will

Lord mama, those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight

And Crocodile Rockin‘ was ou—ou—out of sigh-i-i-i-t.

La, la la la la la, la, la, etc.



CRY ME A RIVER

Now you say you‘re lonely, you cry the long night thru;

Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river, I cried a river over you.

Now you say you‘re sorry for bein‘ so untrue

Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river, I cried a river over you.

You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head

While you never shed a tear

Remember? I remember all that you said;

Told me love was too plebian, told me you were through with me an‘

Now you say you love me, well just to prove you do

Come on an‘ cry me a river, cry me a river, I cried a river over you.



DAISY BELL (BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO)-1892

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do. I‘m half crazy, all for the love of you.

It won‘t be a stylish marriage, I can‘t afford a carriage.

But you‘ll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.

THE BAND PLAYED ON-1895

Casey would waltz with the strawberry blond, and the band played on.

He‘d glide ‗cross the floor with the girl he adored, and the band played on.

But his brain was so loaded, it nearly exploded, the poor girl would shake with alarm.

He‘d ne‘er leave the girl with the strawberry curl, and the band played on.

SCHOOL DAYS-1907

School days, school days, dear old golden rule days

Reading and writing and ‗rithmetic, taught to the tune of the hickory stick.

You were my queen in calico, I was your bashful, barefoot beau,

And you wrote on my slate, ―I love you so,‖ when we were a couple of kids.

YOU TELL ME YOUR DREAM-1908

You had a dream, well, I had one too. I know mine‘s best ‗cause it was of you.

Come, sweetheart, tell me, now is the time. You tell me your dream, I‘ll tell you mine (X2)



DANCING IN THE DARK

Dancing in the dark….. till the tune ends

We‘re dancing in the dark….and it soon ends

We‘re waltzing in the wonder of why we‘re here.

Time hurries by, we‘re here….and gone

Looking for the light of a new love

To brighten up the night, I have you love

And we can face the music together, dancing in the dark



DARK TOWN STRUTTERS‘ BALL

I‘ll be down to get you in a taxi, honey.

You better be ready ‗bout half past eight.

Now, honey, don‘t be late, I want to be there when the band starts playin‘

Remember when we get there, honey

The two-steps, I‘m gonna have ‗em all

Gonna dance out both of our shoes when they play those jellyroll blues

Tomorrow night at the Dark Town Strutters‘ Ball



DECK THE HALL

Deck the hall with boughs of holly, fa la la la la la la la la

‗Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la la

Don we now our gay appar-el, fa la la la la la la la la

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, fa la la la la la la la la



See the blazing Yule before us, fa la la la la la la la la

Strike the harp and join the chorus, fa la la la la la la la la

Follow me in merry measure, fa la la la la la la la la

‗DEED I DO

Do I want you? Oh my, do I? Honey, ‗Deed I Do!

Do I need you? Oh my, do I? Honey, ‗Deed I Do!

I‘m glad that I‘m the one who found you

That‘s why I‘m always hangin‘ ‗round you.

Do I love you? Oh my, do I? Honey, ‗Deed I…

Honey, ‗Deed I...Honey, ‗Deed I …Honey, ‗Deed I Do!



DELILAH

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window

I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my woman, as she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind-OY!

My, my, my, Delilah, why, why, why, Delilah?

I could see that girl was no good for me, but I was lost like a slave that no man could free…..

At break of day when the man drove away I was waiting

I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door

She stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more-OY!

My, my, my, Delilah, why, why, why, Delilah?

So, before they come to break down the door

Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn‘t take any more.

Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn‘t take any more.

DIANA

I‘m so young and you‘re so old, this, my darling, I‘ve been told

I don‘t care just what they say, ‗cause forever I will pray

You and I will be as free as the birds up in the trees

Oh, please, stay by me, Diana



Thrills I get when you hold me close, oh, my darling, you‘re the most

I love you but do you love me, oh, Diana, can‘t you see

I love you with all my heart and I hope we will never part

Oh, please, stay with me, Diana

Oh, my darlin‘, oh my lover, tell me that there is no other

I love you with my heart, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, don‘t you know I love you so and..

Only you can take my heart, only you can tear it apart

When you hold me in your loving arms, I can feel you giving all your charms,

Hold me, darling, hold me tight, squeeze me, baby, with a-all your might

Oh, please, stay by me, Diana…..oh, please, Diana…..oh, please, Diana



DIXIE

Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten

Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land

In Dixie Land where I was born in, early on one frosty mornin‘

Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land

Oh, I wish I was in Dixie Away! Away!

In Dixie Land I‘ll take my stand to live and die in Dixie.

A-way, a-way, a-way down South in Dixie.

A-way, a-way, a-way down South in Dixie.



DON‘T BE CRUEL

You know I can be found sitting home all alone

If you can‘t come around, at least please telephone.

Don‘t be cruel to a heart that‘s true

Baby, if I made you mad for something I might have said

Please let‘s forget the past, the future looks bright ahead

Don‘t be cruel to a heart that‘s true

I don‘t want no other love, baby, it‘s just you I‘m thinking of.

Don‘t stop thinking of me, don‘t make me feel this way

Come on over here and love me, you know what I want you to say

Don‘t be cruel to a heart that‘s true

Why should we be apart, I really love you, baby, cross my heart.

Let‘s walk up to the preacher, and let us say, ―I do.‖

Then you‘ll know you have me, And I‘ll know that I‘ll have you.

Don‘t be cruel to a heart that‘s true

I don‘t want no other love, baby, it‘s just you I‘m thinking of.



DON‘T BLAME ME

Don‘t blame me for falling in love with you.

I‘m under your spell but how can I help it? Don‘t blame me

Can‘t you see when you do the things you do

If I can‘t conceal the way that I‘m feeling,

Don‘t blame me…

I can‘t help it if that doggone moon above

Makes me need someone like you to love.

Blame your kiss, as sweet as a kiss can be

And blame all your charms that melt in my arms, but don‘t blame me.



DON'T FENCE ME IN

Wild Cat Kelly, looking mighty pale, standing by the sheriff's side

When that sheriff said, "I'm sending you to jail," Wild Cat raised his head and cried:

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above........don't fence me in

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love.........don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evening breeze, listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever, but I ask you please........don't fence me in

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies

On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise

I want to Ride to the ridge where the west com-mences, gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences, don't fence me in.

Wild Cat Kelly, back again in town, sitting by his sweetheart's side

When his sweetheart said, "C'mon, let's settle down"

Wild Cat raised his head and cried ("Oh, give me land.......")



DON'T LET THE SUN CATCH YOU CRYIN'

Don't let the sun catch you cryin', the night's the time for all your tears

Your heart may be broken tonight, but tomorrow in the morning light

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'

The night-time shadows disappear. And with them go all your tears

For the morning will bring joy for every girl and boy

So don't let the sun catch you cryin'

We know that cryin's not a bad thing, but stop your cryin' when the birds sing

It may be hard to discover that you've been left for another

But don't forget that love's a game, and it can always come again

Oh don't let the sun catch you cryin'

Don't let the sun catch you cryin', oh no, oh, oh, oh



DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE

I‘m gonna lay down my sword and shield

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside

I‘m gonna lay down my sword and shield

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside

I ain‘t a‘ gonna study war no more, I ain‘t a‘gonna study war no more

I ain‘t a‘gonna study war no more.

I ain‘t a‘ gonna study war no more, I ain‘t a‘gonna study war no more

I ain‘t a‘gonna study war no more.

Gonna join hands with everyone

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside

Gonna join hands with everyone, down by the riverside. (I ain't a'gonna study.....)



Gonna ring out a song of joy

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside

Gonna ring out a song of joy, down by the riverside. (I ain't a'gonna study....)



McDONALD‘S IS YOUR KIND OF PLACE

McDonald‘s is your kind of place, hamburgers in your face

French fries up your nose, mustard between your toes

The last time that I ate there, they stole my underwear

McDonald‘s is the place for me. (I ain't a'gonna study....)

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET?

You'll never know how much I really love you. You'll never know how much I really care

Listen, do you want to know a secret, Do you promise not to tell, woh, oh, oh.

Closer, let me whisper in your ear, Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you, woo, oo, oo, oo.

I've known a secret for a week or two, nobody knows, just we two.

Listen, do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell, woh, oh, oh.

Closer, let me whisper in your ear, sahy the words you long to hear, woo, oo, oo, oo.





DOWNTOWN

When you‘re alone and life is making you lonely you can always go downtown

When you‘ve got worries all the noise and the hurry seems to help I know- downtown

Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty

Listen to the music of the traffic in the city, how can you lose?

CHORUS:

The lights are much brighter there you can forget all your troubles forget all your cares and go

Downtown- where all the lights are bright, downtown-waiting for you tonight

Downtown- it‘s gonna be alright now.



Don‘t hang around and let your troubles surround you there are movie shows-downtown

Maybe you know some little places to go to where they never close-downtown

Listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova,

You‘ll be dancing with it too before the night is over, happy again…..CHORUS (―The lights‖)



DREAM

Dream when you're feeling blue, dream, that's the thing to do

Dream while the smoke rings rise in the air, you'll find your share of memories there

So dream when the day is through, dream, and they might come true

Things never are as bad as they seem, so dream, dream, dream.



DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

Stars shining bright above you, night breezes seem to whisper ―I love you.‖

Birds singing in the sycamore tree, dream a little dream of me.

Say ―Nightie-night‖ and kiss me, just hold me tight and tell me you‘ll miss me

While I‘m alone and blue as can be, dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear, still craving your kiss

I‘m longing to linger ‗til dawn, dear, just saying this…

Sweet dreams ‗til sunbeams find you

Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you

But in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me.

But in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me.



DREAM LOVER

Every night I hope and pray a dream lover will come my way.

A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms

Because I want a girl to call my own,

I want a dream lover so I don‘t have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you with a love, oh, so true

And a hand that I can hold to feel you near when I grow old

Because I want a girl to call my own,

I want a dream lover so I don‘t have to dream alone

Some day, I don‘t know how, I hope you‘ll hear my plea

Some way, I don‘t know how, she‘ll bring er love to me.



Dream lover, until then I‘ll go to sleep and dream again

That‘s the only thing to do until my lover‘s dreams come true

Because I want a girl to call my own I want a dream lover so I don‘t have to dream alone.



DREYDL, DREYDL, DREYDL

I have a little dreydl, I made it out of clay

And when it‘s dry and ready, then dreydl I shall play.

O dreydl, dreydl, dreydl, I made it out of clay

O dreydl dreydl, dreydl, now dreydl I shall play.

It has a lovely body, with leg so short and thin

And when it is all tired, it drops and then I win.

O dreydl, dreydl, dreydl, with leg so short and thin

O dreydl, dreydl, dreydl, it drops and then I win.

My dreydl is so playful, it loves to dance and spin.

A happy game of dreydl, come play, now let‘s begin.

O dreydl, dreydl, dreydl, it loves to dance and spin.

O dreydl, dreydl, dreydl, come play, now let‘s begin.

DULCINEA

I have dreamed thee too long, never seen thee or touched thee, but known thee with all of my heart

Half a prayer, half a song, thou hast always been near me, though we have been always apart.

Dulcinea, Dulcinea, I see heaven when I see thee, Dulcinea

And thy name is like a prayer an angel whispered, Dulcinea, Dulcinea

If I reach out to thee, do not tremble and shrink from the touch of my hand on thy hair

Let my fingers but see thou art warm and alive, and no phantom to fade in the air

Dulcinea, Dulcinea, I have sought thee, sung thee, dreamed thee, Dulcinea

Now I've found thee and the world shall know thy glory, Dulcinea, Dulcinea (repeat last line)



EAST OF THE SUN

East of the sun and west of the moon, we'll build a dream-house of love, dear

Near to the sun in the day, near to the moon at night

We'll live in a lovely way, dear, living on love and pale moonlight

Just you and I, forever and a day. Love will not die, we'll keep it that way

Up among the stars we'll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune

East of the sun and west of the moon, dear. East of the sun and west of the moon.



EDELWEISS

Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me.

Small and white, clean and bright, you look happy to meet me.

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss, bless my homeland forever.



EIGHT DAYS A WEEK

Ooh I need your love, babe, guess you know it‘s true

Hope you need my love babe, just like I need you.

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me

Ain‘t got nothin‘ but love, babe, eight days a week.



Love you every day, girl, you‘re always on my mind.

One thing I can say, girl, I love you all the time.

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me

Ain‘t got nothin‘ but love, babe, eight days a week.

Eight days a week I lo-o-o-ove you,

Eight days a week is not enough to show I care (repeat 1st verse)



THE EIGHT DAYS OF CHANUKAH

On the first day of Chanukah, my true love gave to me:

1. A warm bagel topped with cream cheese

2. Two matzoh balls

3. Three golden latkes

4. Four pounds of corned beef

5. Five kosher dills

6. Six bubbes cooking

7. Seven rabbis dancing

8. Eight fiddlers fiddling



ELEANOR RIGBY

Ah, look at all the lonely people….Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been, lives in a dream

Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door, who is it for?

CHORUS:

All the lonely people, where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear, no one comes near

Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there‘s nobody there, what does he care?

CHORUS

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried along with her name, nobody came

Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave, no one was saved.

CHORUS



THE END OF THE WORLD

Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore?

Don't they know it's the end of the world, 'cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above?

Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder why everything's the same as it was.

I can't understand, no, I can't understand how life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry?

Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye.



ERIE CANAL

I‘ve got a mule her name is Sal, fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

She‘s a good ol‘ worker and a good ol‘ pal, fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

We‘ve hauled some barges in our day, filled with lumber, coal and hay

And we know every inch of the way from Albany to Buffalo.



Low bridge, everybody down, low bridge ‗cause we‘re coming to a town

And you‘ll always know your neighbor, you‘ll always know your pal

If you‘ve ever navigated on the Erie Canal.



EXACTLY LIKE YOU

I know why I've waited, know why I've been blue

Prayed each night for someone exactly like you

Why should we spend money on a show or two,

No one does those love scenes exactly like you

You make me feel so grand, I want to hand the world to you

You seem to understand each foolish little scheme I'm scheming, dream I'm dreaming

Now I know why mother taught me to be true

She meant me for someone exactly like you.



FASCINATING RHYTHM

Fascinating rhythm, you‘ve got me on the go, fascinating rhythm, I‘m all a-quiver

What a mess you‘re making, the neighbors want to know why I‘m always shaking just like a fliver.

Each morning I get up with the sun

To find at night no work has been done- I know that

Once it didn‘t matter but now you‘re doing wrong. When you start to patter I‘m so unhappy

Won‘t you take a day off? Decide to run along somewhere far away off, and make it snappy!

Oh how I long to be the man I used to be!

Fascinating rhythm, oh, won‘t you stop picking on me!



FIVE FOOT TWO, EYES OF BLUE

Five foot two, eyes of blue, but, oh, what those five feet could do!

Has anybody seen my gal?

Turned up nose, turned down hose, flapper, yes sir, one of those!

Has anybody seen my gal?

Now if you run into a five foot two covered with fur,

Diamond rings, and all those things, betcha life it isn't her!

But could she love, could she woo, could she, could she, could she coo!

Has anybody seen my, anybody seen my, has anybody seen my gal?



FLY ME TO THE MOON

Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars,

Let me see what Spring is like on Jupiter and Mars;

In other words, hold my hand; in other words, darling, kiss me.



Fill my heart with song, and let me sing for ever more;

You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.

In other words, please be true; in other words, I love you.





A FOGGY DAY

I was a stranger in the city. Out of town were the people I knew

I had the feeling of self-pity. What to do? What to do? What to do?

The outlook was decidedly blue.

But as I walked through the foggy streets alone

It turned out to be the luckiest day I‘ve known



A foggy day in London town had me low and it had me down

I viewed the morning with alarm, the British museum had lost its charm

How long, I wondered, could this thing last? But the age of miracles hadn‘t passed.

For suddenly I saw you there, and in foggy London town the sun was shining everywhere.



FOLLOW THE DRINKING GOURD

Follow the drinking gourd, follow the drinking gourd

For the old man is a waitin‘ for to carry you to freedom

Follow the drinking gourd.

When the sun comes up and the first quail calls follow the drinking gourd

For the old man is a waitin‘ for to carry you to freedom

Follow the drinking gourd.

Chorus

The river bank will make a mighty good road, the dead trees will show you the way

With your left foot, your peg foot, travelin‘ on,

Follow the drinking gourd.

Chorus

The river ends between two hills, follow the drinking gourd

There‘s another river on the other side,

Follow the drinking gourd.

Chorus X2



A FOOL SUCH AS I

Now and then, there's a fool such as I

Pardon me if I'm sentimental when we say goodbye, don't be angry with me should I cry

Now when you're gone, yet I'll dream a little dream as years go by

Now and then, there's a fool such as I

Now and then, there's a fool such as I am over you

You taught me how to love and now

You say that we are through

I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die

Now and then, there's a fool such as I

Now and then, there's a fool such as I

Now and then, there's a fool such as I



FOR ME AND MY GAL

The bells are ringing for me and my gal

The birds are singing for me and my gal

Everybody‘s been knowing to a wedding they‘re going

And for weeks they‘ve been sewing

Every Susie and Sal



They‘re congregating for me and my gal

The parson‘s waiting for me and my gal

And someday (SLOWER) we‘re gonna build a little home for two

Or three or four or more

In Loveland for me and my gal (for me and my gal)



FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE

For once in my life I have someone who needs me, someone I've needed so long

For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me, somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of, long before I knew

Someone warm like you would make my dream come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me, not like it hurt me before

For once, I have something I know won't desert me, I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it

As long as I know I have love, I can make it

For once in my life, I have someone who needs me



FROM ME TO YOU

If there's anything that you want, if there's anything I can do

Just call on me and I'll send it along, with love from me to you

If there's anything that you want, like a heart that's oh so true

Just call on me and I'll send it along, with love from me to you

I've got arms that long to hold you and keep you by my side

I've got lips that long to kiss you and keep you satisfied…..oooooooo (stop)

If there's anything that you want, if there's anything I can do

Just call on me and I'll send it along, with love from me to you, to you, to you, to you.



FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul

With a corn cob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say.

He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,

For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.

Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be

And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.

Thumpity-thump-thump, thumpity-thump-thump, look at Frosty go

Thumpity-thump-thump, thumpity-thump-thump, over the fields of snow.



FOUR STRONG WINDS

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high

All those things that don't change, come what may.

But our good times, all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.



Think I'll go down to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall,

Got some friends that I can go to workin' for.

Still I wish you'd change your mind, if I asked you one more time

But we've been through that a hundred times or more.

(Four Strong Winds.....)

If I get there 'fore the snow flies, and if things are goin' good

You could meet me if I sent you down the fare.

But by then it will be winter, there ain't too much for you to do

And those winds sure can blow cold, way out there.

(Four Strong Winds.....)



THE GARDEN SONG

Chorus:

Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow

All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row Someone bless these seeds I sow

Someone warm them from below

Til the rain comes tumbling down

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones, we are made of dreams and bones

I feel the need to grow my own cause the time is close at hand

Grain for grain, sun and rain I'll find my way in nature's chain

Tune my body and my brain to the music of the land

Chorus

Plant your rows straight and long,

Temper them with prayer and song

Mother earth will keep you strong if you give her love and care

An old crow watching hungrily from his perch in yonder tree

In my garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there

Chorus



GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Getting to know you, getting to know all about you

Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me

Getting to know you, putting it my way but nicely, you are precisely my cup of tea.

Getting to know you, getting to feel free and easy

When I am with you, getting to know what to say

Haven‘t you noticed? Suddenly I‘m bright and breezy

Because of all the beautiful and you, things I‘m learning about you, day by day.



GIRL FROM IPANEMA

Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes each one she passes goes ah…

When she walks she‘s like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle

That when she passes each one she passes goes ah…

Oh, but I watch her so sadly. How can I tell her I love her

Yes I would give my heart gladly

But each day when she walks to the sea, she looks straight ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes I smile but she doesn‘t see, she just doesn‘t see, no she doesn‘t see



GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY

Did you ever see two Yankees part upon a foreign shore

When the good ship‘s just about to start for Old New York once more

With tear-dimmed eye they say goodbye, they‘re friends without a doubt.

When the man on the pier shouts, ―Let them clear‖, as the ship strikes out…..

Give my regards to Broadway, remember me to Herald Square

Tell all the gang at Forty Second Street that I will soon be there

Whisper of how I‘m yearning to mingle with the old time throng

Give my regards to old Broadway and say that I‘ll be there ‗ere long.



THE GLORY OF LOVE

You‘ve got to give a little, take a little, and let your poor heart break a little

That‘s the story of, that‘s the glory of love

You‘ve got to laugh a little, cry a little, before the clouds roll by a little

That‘s the story of, that‘s the glory of love

As long as there‘s the two of us, we‘ve got the world and all its charms

And when the world is through with us we‘ve got each other‘s arms

You‘ve got to win a little, lose a little, and always have the blues a little

That‘s the story of, that‘s the glory of love.



GOD BLESS AMERICA

God Bless America, land that I Love.

Stand beside her and guide her through the night with the light from above

From the mountains to the prairies, to the ocean, white with foam.

God bless America, my home sweet home,

God bless America, my home sweet home.



GOD BLESS THE CHILD

Them that‘s got shall get, them that‘s not shall lose. So the bible says, and it still is news

Mama may have, Papa may have, but God bless the child that‘s got his own, that‘s got his own.

Yes the strong shall get more while the weak ones fade, empty pockets don‘t ever make the grade

Mama may have, Papa may have, but God bless the child that‘s got his own, that‘s got his own.

Money, you got lots of friends crowdin‘ ‗round your door,

When your gone and spendin‘ ends, they don‘t come no more.

Rich relations give a crust of bread and such, you can help yourself, but don‘t take too much.

Mama may have, Papa may have, but God bless the child that‘s got his own, that‘s got his own.



GOOD DAY SUNSHINE

Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine.

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out, I've got something I can laugh about

I feel good in a special way, I'm in love and it's a sunny day.

Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine.

We take a walk, the sun is shining down, burns my feet as they touch the ground..

Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine.

Then we lie beneath a shady tree, I love her and she's loving me.

She feels good, she knows she's looking fine. I'm so proud to know that she is mine.

Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine.

Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine. Good day sunshine.



GOODY GOODY

So you met someone who set you back on your heels, goody, goody!

So you met someone and now you know how it feels, goody, goody!

So you gave him your heart, too, just as I gave mine to you.

And you broke it in little pieces, now how do you do?

So you lie awake just singin‘ the blues all night, goody, goody!

So you think that love‘s a barrel of dynamite.

Hooray and halle-lu-jah! You had it comin‘ to ya.

Goody, goody for him. Goody, goody for me.

And I hope you‘re satis-fied, you ras -cal you.

And I hope you‘re satis-fied, you ras -cal you.



GOTTA GET UP

Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comes.

What if I'm late, gotta big date, gotta get home before the sun comes up

Up and away, got a big day, sorry can't stay, I gotta run run yeah

Gotta get home, pick up the phone, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

There was a time when we could dance until a quarter to ten,

We never thought it would end then, we never thought it would end,

We used to carry on and drink and do the rock and roll,

We never thought we'd get older, we never thought it'd grow cold, but now

CHORUS

Down by the sea she knew a sailor who had been to war,

She never even knew a sailor before, she never even knew his name

He'd come to town and he would pound her for a couple of days,

And then he'd sail across the bubbly waves and those were happier days, But now

CHORUS



GREEN DOLPHIN STREET

Lover, one lovely day, love came, planning to stay

Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting

The setting for life beyond forgetting.

And through these moments apart

Memories live in my heart

When I recall the love I found on

I could kiss the ground on Green Dolphin Street.



THE GREEN DOOR

Midnight one more night without sleepin‘, watching till the morning comes peepin‘

Green door, what‘s the secret you‘re keepin‘

There‘s an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door

Don‘t know what they‘re doin‘ but they laugh a lot behind the green door.

Wish they‘d let me in so I could find out what‘s behind the green door.



Knocked once, tried to tell ‗em I‘d been there, door slammed, hospitality‘s thin there

Wonder just what‘s goin‘ on in there.

Saw an eyeball peepin‘ thru a smoky cloud behind the green door

When I said Joe sent me someone laughed out loud behind the green door.

All I want to do do is join the happy crew behind the green door.



HANDY MAN

Hey girls, gather ‗round, because of what I‘m puttin‘ down- Hey, baby, I‘m your handy man.

I‘m not the kind that uses pencils or rule, I‘m handy with love, and I‘m no fool,

I fix broken hearts, I know I really can.

If your broken heart needs repair, then I am the man to see

I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends, and they‘ll come runnin‘ to me……

Here is the main thing that I want to say, I‘m busy twenty-four hours a day

I fix broken hearts, I know that I really can.



HANNUKAH IN SANTA MONICA

I'm spending Hanukkah in Santa Monica,

Wearing sandals, lighting candles by the sea.

I spent Shavuos in East Saint Louis,

A charming spot, but clearly not the spot for me.

Those eastern winters, I can't endure 'em,

So every year I pack my gear and come out here for Purim.

Rosh Hashana I spend in Arizona.

And Yom Kippah way down in Mississippah.

But in December there's just one place for me.

Amid the California flora I'll be lighting my menorah.

Like a baby in its cradle I'll be playing with my dreidel,

Here's to Judas Maccabeus, boy if he could only see us,

Spending Hanukkah, in Santa Monica, by the Sea!





HAPPY TRAILS

Happy trails to you, until we meet again. Happy trails to you, keep smiling on ‗til then

Who cares about the clouds when we‘re together. Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you ‗til we meet again.



A HARD DAY‘S NIGHT

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do will make me feel alright



You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things

And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone you know I feel okay

When I'm home everything seems to be right

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah



HAVEN‘T WE MET

I‘ve ordered some rain for tomorrow, the sky will be sunny but wet

When out of nowhere you‘re suddenly there,

And I say, ―Yeah, pardon me, haven‘t we met?‖

I‘ve ordered some sunshine with showers, and I‘ve got my scenery set

Right there with a thump our umbrellas gonna bump

And I say, ―Yeah, yeah, pardon me haven‘t we met?‖

Accidents can happen, and into one I‘m gonna slide

There‘s a good chance to get my hands on a little romance

When two hearts collide.

And I know that‘s just how it happened when Romeo met Juliet

Somewhere I read that old Romeo said, ―Yeah, pardon me, haven‘t we met?‖



THE HAWAIIAN WAR CHANT

There‘s a sunny little funny little melody that was started by a native down in Waikiki

He would gather a crowd…down beside the sea… and they‘d play his gay Hawaiian chant

Soon the other little natives started singin‘ it and the hula, hula maidens started swingin‘ it

Like a tropical storm, that‘s the way it hit, funny little gay Hawaiian chant.

Ow way tah Tu-a-lan, me big bad fightin‘ man.

Tho‘ it started on an island down Hawaii way it‘s as popular in Tennessee or I-o-way,

If you wander into… any cabaret…..you will hear this gay Hawaiian chant.

Ow way tah Tu-a-lan, me big bad fightin‘ man. (X2)



HEARTACHES

Heartaches, heartaches, my loving you meant only heartaches

Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me, I can't believe it's just a burning memory

Heartaches, heartaches, what does it matter how my heart breaks?

I should be happy with someone new, but my heart aches for you.



HEART OF MY HEART

―Heart of My Heart,‖ I love that melody.

―Heart of My Heart,‖ brings back fond memories.

When we were kids on the corner of the square

We were rough and ready guys, but, oh, how we could harmonize

―Heart of My Heart, meant friends were dearer then (friends were dearer then)

Too bad we had to part.

I know a tear would glisten, if once more I could listen

To that gang that sang Heart of My Heart, Heart of My Heart,

To that gang that sang Heart of My Heart, Heart of My Heart,

To… that.. gang.. that.. sang.. Heart of My Heart.



HELLO, DOLLY

Hello, Dolly, well Hello, Dolly, it's so nice to have you back where you belong.

You're looking swell, Dolly, I can tell, Dolly

You're still glowin' , you're still crowin' , you're still goin' strong.

We feel the room swaying for the band's playing

One of your old favorite songs from way back when

So, take her wrap, fellas, find her an empty lap, fellas,

Dolly, I'll never go away again.



HELLO! MA BABY

Hello, my baby, hello, my honey, hello my ragtime gal

Send me a kiss by wire; baby my heart‘s on fire

If you refuse me, honey, you‘ll lose me, then you‘ll be left alone

Oh baby, telephone, and tell me I‘m your own.



TOOT, TOOT, TOOTSIE!

Toot, Toot, Tootsie, goodbye, Toot, Toot, Tootsie don‘t cry

The choo choo train that takes me, away from you no words can tell how sad it makes me

Kiss me, Tootsie, and then, do it over again.

Watch for the mail, I‘ll never fail, if you don‘t get a letter then you‘ll know I‘m in jail.

Toot, toot, Tootsie, don‘t cry, Toot, Toot, Tootsie, goodbye.



HELLO, MARY LOU

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart, sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you.

I knew, Mary Lou, we'd never part, so hello, Mary Lou, goodbye heart

You passed me by one sunny day, flashed those big brown eyes my way

And oo I wanted you forever more

Now I'm not one that gets around, I swear my feet stuck to the ground

And though I never did meet you before, I said…. (Hello, Mary Lou…)



I saw your lips I heard your voice, believe me I just had no choice

Wild horses couldn't make me stay away

I thought about a moonlit night, my arms around you good an' tight

That's all I had to see for me to say… (Hello, Mary Lou…)



HELLO MUDDAH, HELLO FADDUH

Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh, here I am at Camp Granada

Camp is very entertaining, and they say we‘ll have some fun if it stops raining.

I went hiking with Joe Spivey, he developed poison ivy.

You remember Leonard Skinner? He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.



All the counselors hate the waiters, and the lake has alligators

And the head coach wants no sissies, so he reads to us from something called ―Ullyses.‖

Now I don‘t want this should scare ya, but my bunkmate has malaria.

You remember Jeffrey Hardy? They‘re about to organize a searching party.

Take me home, oh Muddah, Fadduh, take me home, I hate Granada.

Don‘t leave me out in the forest where I might get eaten by a bear.

Take me home, I promise I will not make noise or mess the house with other boys

Oh please don‘t make me stay, I‘ve been here one whole day.

Dearest Fadduh, darling Muddah, how‘s my precious little bruddah?

Let me come home if you miss me-I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.

Wait a minute-it stopped raining. Guys are swimming, guys are sailing.

Playing baseball-gee, dat‘s bettah! Muddah, Fadduh, kindly disregard this lettah!



HELP!

Help, I need some-body, Help, not just anybody, Help, you know I need someone, Help!

When I was younger so much younger than today

I never needed anybody's help in any way

But now these days are gone I'm not so self assured

Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door

Help me if you can I'm feelin' down… and I do appreciate your bein' 'round

Help me get my feet back on the ground; won't you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways

My independence seems to vanish in the haze.

But every now and then I feel so insecure

I know that I just need you like I've never done be-fore.

Help me if you can I'm feelin' down… and I do appreciate you bein' 'round

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me......oooooo.



HENRY THE EIGHTH

I‘m Enery the Heighth I am, Enery the Heighth I am, I am

I got married to the widow next door, she‘s been married seven times before.

Any every one was an Enery, she wouldn‘t have a Willy or a Sam (NO SAM!)

I‘m er heighth old man I‘m Enery, Enery the Heighth I am.

SPOKEN: ―Second verse, same as the first!‖



HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane

Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer are pulling on the rein.

Bells are ringing, children singing, all is merry and bright.

Hang your stockings and say your prayers, ‗cause Santa Claus comes to-night. Oh…

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane

Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, what a beautiful sight.

He‘s got a bag that is filled with toys for the boys and girls again

Jump in bed, cover up your head, ‗cause Santa Claus comes to-night! Oh…(repeat 1st verse)



HE‘S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS

He‘s got the whole world in his hands, he‘s got the whole wide world in his hands

He‘s got the whole world in his hands, he‘s got the whole world in his hands



He‘s got the little bitty baby in his hands, he‘s got the little bitty baby in his hands

He‘s got the little bitty baby in his hands, he‘s got the whole world in his hands



He‘s got you and me, brother, in his hands, he‘s got you and me, sister, in his hands

He‘s got you and me, brother, in his hands, he‘s got the whole world in his hands



We‘ve got all our ukuleles in our hands, we‘ve got all our ukuleles in our hands

We‘ve got all our ukuleles in our hands, we‘ve got the ukuleles in our hands



He‘s got everybody here in his hands, he‘s got everybody here in his hands

He‘s got everybody here in his hands, he‘s got the whole world in his hands.



HIGH HOPES

Next time you‘re found with your chin on the ground

There‘s a lot to be learned, so look around.

Just what makes that little old ant think he‘ll move that rubber tree plant

Anyone knows an ant can‘t move a rubber tree plant.

But he‘s got high hopes, he‘s got high hopes, he‘s got high apple pie in the sky hopes

So any time you‘re getting‘ low, ‗stead of lettin‘ go, just remember that ant

Oops! There goes another rubber tree plant.

When trouble calls, and your back‘s to the wall

There‘s a lot to be learned, that wall could fall.

Once there was a silly old ram, thought he‘d punch a hole in a dam

No one could make that ram scram, he kept buttin‘ that dam.

‗Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes, he had high apple pie in the sky hopes

So any time you‘re feelin‘ bad, ‗stead of feelin‘ sad, just remember that ram

Oops! There goes a billion kilowatt dam.

All problems just a toy balloon, they‘ll be bursted soon

They‘re just bound to go pop, oops, there goes another problem kerplop!





HOME ON THE RANGE

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.

How often at night when the heavens are bright with the light of the glittering stars

Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed if their glory exceeds that of ours.



HONEYCOMB

Well, it's a darn good life, and it's kinda funny

How the Lord made the bee and the bee made the honey

And the honeybee, lookin' for a home, and they called it a honeycomb

And they roamed the world, and they gathered all of the honeycomb into one sweet ball

And the honeycomb from a million trips, made my baby's lips

Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby, well, Honeycomb, be my own

Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone, and made a walkin', talkin' Honeycomb

Well, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby, well, Honeycomb, be my own

What a darn good life when you got a wife like Honeycomb.....HONEYCOMB

And the Lord said, now that I made a bee, I'm gonna look all around for a green, green tree

And he made a little tree, and I guess you heard, ah, then, well he made a little bird

And they waited all around till the end of Spring, gettin' every note that the birdie'd sing

And they put 'em all into one sweet tone, for my Honeycomb

Chorus

And the Lord says now that I made a bird, I'm gonna look all 'round for a little ol' word

That sounds about sweet, like "turtledove" and I guess I'm gonna call it "love"

And he roamed the world, lookin' everywhere, gettin' love from here, love from there

And he put it all in a little ol' part of my baby's heart

Chorus



HOT DIGGITY

Oh! hot diggity, dog ziggity boom, what'cha do to me,

It's so new to me, what'cha do to me,

Hot diggity, dog ziggity boom, what'cha do to me,

When you're holdin' me tight!

Never dreamed anybody could kiss thata way, bring me bliss thata way, with a kiss thata way!

Never knew that my heart could go zing thata way, ting-a-ling thata way, make me sing thata way!

There's a cute little cottage for two thata way, skies are blue thata way, dreams come true thata way,

What a wonderful feelin' to feel thata way, tell me where have ya been all my life!

Said goodbye to my troubles, they went thata way, ever since you came into my life!

If you say I can share it with you thata way, I‘ll be happy the rest of my life!

Oh! hot diggity, dog ziggity boom, what'cha do to me,

It's so new to me, what'cha do to me,

Hot diggity, dog ziggity boom, what'cha do to me,

How my future will shine, from the moment you‘re mine.



HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN

How much do I love you? I‘ll tell you no lie.

How deep is the ocean, how high is the sky?

How many times a day do I think of you?

How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel to be where you are?

How far is the journey from here to a star?

And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?

How deep is the ocean, how high is the sky?



HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW

How much is that doggie in the window (arf, arf), the one with the waggley tail

How much is that doggie in the window (arf, arf), I do hope that doggie's for sale

I must take a trip to Cali-fornia, and leave my poor sweetheart a-lone

If she has a dog she won't be lonesome, and the doggie will have a good home

I read in the papers there are robbers with flashlights that shine in the dark

My love needs a doggie to pro-tect her and scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty, I don't want a parrot that talks

I don't want a bowl of little fishies. She can't take a goldfish for a walk

How much is that doggie in the window (arf, arf), the one with the waggley tail

How much is that doggie in the window (arf, arf)

I do hope that doggie, I do hope that doggie, I do hope that doggie's for sale.



HOW SWEET IT IS (TO BE LOVED BY YOU)

How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.

I needed the shelter of someone‘s arms…..and there you were

I needed someone to understand my ups and downs..and there you were

With sweet love and devotion, deeply touching my emotion

I want to stop and thank you, baby; I just want to stop, and thank you baby.

How sweet it is to be loved by you.

I close my eyes at night…wondering where would I be without you in my life

Everything I did was just a bore; everywhere I went, seems I‘d been there before

But you brighten up for me all of my days, with a love so sweet in so many ways.

CHORUS

You were better to me than I was to myself, for me there‘s you and there ain‘t nobody else

I want to stop and thank you, baby; I just want to stop, and thank you baby.

How sweet it is to be loved by you.



I CALL YOUR NAME

I call your name but you're not there, was I to blame for being unfair,

Oh I can't sleep at night, since you've been gone.

I never weep at night, I can't go on.

Well don't you know I can't take it. I don't know who can,

I'm not goin' to mayayake it, I'm not that kind of man.

Oh I can't sleep at night, but just the same,

I never weep at night I call your name, I call your name.



I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It‘s gonna be a bright, bright, bright, bright sun shiny day (2X)

I think I can make it now the pain is gone

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is the rainbow I‘ve been praying for

It‘s gonna be a bright, bright, bright, bright sun shiny day.

Look all around, there‘s nothing but blue skies

Look straight ahead, there‘s nothing but blue skies.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It‘s gonna be a bright, bright, bright, bright sun shiny day (2X)



I CAN‘T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE

I can‘t give you anything but love, baby that‘s the only thing I‘ve plenty of, baby

Dream a while, scheme a while, we‘re sure to find happiness, and, I guess

All those things you‘ve always pined for

Gee, I‘d like to see you looking swell, baby; diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn‘t sell, baby

Till that lucky day, you know darned well, baby, I can‘t give you anything but love.



I CONCENTRATE ON YOU

Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew

Whenever the winter winds become too strong, I concentrate on you

When fortune cries ―nay, nay‖ to me and people declare ―You‘re through‖

Whenever he blues become my only song, I concentrate on you.

On your smile so sweet, so tender, when at first my kiss you decline

On the light in your eyes when you surrender, and once again our arms intertwine

And so when wisemen say to me that love‘s young dream never comes true

To prove that even wisemen can be wrong, I concentrate on you.



I DON‘T KNOW WHY

I don‘t know why I love you like I do, I don‘t know why, I just do.

I don‘t know why you thrill me like you do, I don‘t know why, you just do.

You never seem to want my romancing

The only time you hold me is when we‘re dancing.

I don‘t know why I love you like I do, I don‘t know why, I just do.



I DON‘T WANT TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE

I don‘t want to set the world on fire;

I just want to start a flame in your heart

In my heart I have but one desire, and that one is you, no other will do.

I‘ve lost all ambition for worldly acclaim; I just want to be the one you love

And with your admission that you feel the same,

I‘ll have reached the goal I‘m dreaming of, believe me.

I don‘t want to set the world on fire; I just want to start a flame in your heart,

I just want to start a flame in your heart.



I DON‘T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go, I would hate my disappointment to show,

There's nothing for me here so I will disappear, if she turns up while I'm gone please let me know.

I've had a drink or two and I don't care, there's no fun in what I do if she's not there,

I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long, I think I'll take a walk and look for her.

Though tonight she's made me sad, I still love her,

If I find her I'll be glad, I still love her.

I've had a drink or two and I don't care, there's no fun in what I do if she's not there,

I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long, I think I'll take a walk and look for her.



I‘D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING

I‘d like to build the world a home and furnish it with love,

Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves.

I‘d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony

I‘d like to hold it in my arms and keep it company

CHORUS:

That‘s the song I hear, let the world sing to-day,

A song of peace that echoes on and never goes away

I‘d like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand

And hear them echo thru the hills for peace throughout the land. (REPEAT CHORUS AND2ndVERSE)



I FEEL FINE

Baby's good to me, you know, she's happy as can be, you know,

She said so. I'm in love with her and I feel fine.

Baby says she's mine, you know, she tells me all the time, you know,

She said so. I'm in love with her and I feel fine.

I'm so glad that she's my little girl.

She's so glad, she's telling all the world

That her baby buys her things, you know, he buys her diamond rings, you know,

She said so. She's in love with me and I feel fine.



I‘LL BE SEEING YOU

I‘ll be seeing you in all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces all day thru.

In that small café; the park across the way,

The children‘s carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well.



I‘ll be seeing you in every lovely summer‘s day

In everything that‘s light and gay, I‘ll always think of you that way.

I‘ll find you in the morning sun and when the night is new.

I‘ll be looking at the moon, but I‘ll be seeing you.



I'LL BUILD A STAIRWAY TO PARADISE

All you preachers who delight in panning the dancing teachers

Let me tell you there are a lot of features

Of the dance that carry you through the gates of Heaven

It's madness to be always sitting around in sadness

When you could be learning the steps of gladness

You'll be happy when you can do just six or seven \

Begin today, you'll find it‘s nice, the quickest way to paradise

When you practice, here's the thing to do, simply say as you go...

I'll build a stairway to paradise, with a new step every day

I'm going to get there at any price. Stand aside, I'm on my way

I've got the blues and up above it's so fair, shoes, go on and carry me there

I'll build a stairway to paradise, with a new step every day, with a new step every day



I'LL CRY INSTEAD

I've got every reason on earth to be mad, 'cause I've just lost the only girl I had.

If I could get my way, I'd get myself locked up today,

But I can't so I cry instead.

I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet, I can't talk to people that I meet.

If I could see you now, I'd try to make you sad somehow,

But I can't so I cry instead.

Don't want to cry when there's people there, I get shy when they start to stare,

I'm gonna hide myself away, ay hay; but I'll come back again someday.

And when I do you'd better hide all the girls, I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world.

Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two, and show you what your loving man can do,

Until then I'll cry instead.





I‘LL REMEMBER APRIL

This lovely day will lengthen into evening, we‘ll sigh goodbye to all we‘ve ever had

Alone, where we have walked together, I‘ll remember April and be glad

I‘ll be content you loved me once in April, your lips were warm and love and Spring were new

But I‘m not afraid of Autumn and her sorrow, for I‘ll remember April, April and you



The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes, for flames and love live such a little while

I won‘t forget, but I won‘t be lonely, I‘ll remember April, and I‘ll smile.



I‘LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

I‘ll see you in my dreams, hold you in my dreams.

Someone took you out of my arms, still I feel the thrill of your charms.

Lips that once were mine, tender eyes that shine,

They will light my way tonight, I‘ll see you in my dreams.



I‘M A BELIEVER

I thought love was only true in fairy tales, meant for someone else, but not for me.

Love was out to get me, do, do, do, do, that‘s the way it seems, do, do, do ,do, do

Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now I‘m a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I‘m in love, oooo, I‘m a believer, I couldn‘t leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a giving thing; seems the more I gave the less I got.

What‘s the use in tryin‘, do, do, do, do, do, all you get is pain, do, do, do, do, do.

When I needed sunshine I got rain.

Then I saw her face, now I‘m a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I‘m in love, oooo, I‘m a believer, I couldn‘t leave her if I tried.

(Repeat last 3 lines)



I'M A DRIFTER

I'm a drifter, I'm a loner, well I've seen every village and town

I've passed by here, and I'll die here, and some stranger will lower me down

I've envied the ships that sail out of your harbors,

Shared silent thoughts with your children and barbers

And sung to the stars while the jukebox was playin'

Fought back the tears that come when I'm sayin'....

CHORUS

I've made love in your city to the poor and the pretty

Thought myself lucky and smart

And ended up lonely, with nothin' but only a song and a half of a heart

CHORUS



I‘M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT

I never cared much for moonlit skies, I never wink back at fireflies

But now that the stars are in your eyes, I‘m beginning to see the light

I never went in for afterglow, or candlelight on the mistletoe

But now when you turn the lamp down low, I‘m beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the park, shadow boxing in the dark

Then you came and caused a spark that‘s a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern shine, I never saw rainbows in my wine

But now that your lipes burning mine, I‘m beginning to see the light.



I‘M CONFESSIN‘ THAT I LOVE YOU

I‘m confessin‘ that I love you, tell me, do you love me too?

I‘m confessin‘ that I love you, honest I do, need you every moment

In your eyes I read such strange things, but your lips deny they‘re true

Will your answer really change things, making me blue?

I‘m afraid some day you‘ll leave me, saying, ―Can‘t we still be friends?‖

If you go you know you‘ll grieve me; all in life on you depends.

Am I guessin‘ that you love me, dreaming dreams of you in vain,

I‘m confessin‘ that I love you over again.



I‘M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER

I‘m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, and make believe it came from you

I‘m gonna write words oh, so sweet, they‘re gonna knock me off my feet

Lots of kisses on the bottom, I‘ll be glad I got ‗em.

I‘m gonna smile and say I hope you‘re feeling better, and close with ―Love‖ the way you do

I‘m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, and make believe it came from you.



I‘M LOOKING OVER A FOUR-LEAF CLOVER

I‘m looking over a four-leaf clover that I overlooked before

One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain, third is the roses that grow in the lane

You know there‘s no need explaining the one remaining is someone that I adore.

I‘m looking over a four-leaf clover that I overlooked before.



I‘M SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD

I‘m sitting on top of the world, just rolling along, just rolling along.

I‘m quitting the blues of the world, just singing a song, just singing a song

Glory Hallelujah, I just phoned the Parson, hey, Par, get ready to call

Just like Humpty Dumpty, I‘m going to fall

I‘m sitting on top of the world, just rolling along, just rolling along.



I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU

Seems that I read, or somebody said, ―Out of sight is out of mind.‖

Maybe that‘s so, but I tried to go and leave you behind, what did I find?



I took a trip on a train, and I thought about you.

I passed a shadowy lane, and I thought about you.

Two or three cars parked under the stars, a winding stream.

Moon shining down on some little town, and with each beam, the same old dream.

With every stop that we made, I thought about you.



And when I pulled down the shade, I really felt blue.

I peeked through the crack and looked at the track, the one going back to you.

And what did I do……What did I do……

What did I do, I thought about you.



I‘VE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD

I‘ve been working on the railroad all the live-long day.

I‘ve been working on the railroad just to pass the time away.

Can‘t you hear the whistle blowing, rise up so early in the morn‘

Can‘t you hear the captain shouting, ―Dinah, blow your horn.‖

Dinah, won‘t you blow, Dinah, won‘t you blow, Dinah, won‘t you blow your horn?

Dinah, won‘t you blow, Dinah, won‘t you blow, Dinah, won‘t you blow your horn?

Someone‘s in the kitchen with Dinah, someone‘s in the kitchen I know—ow—ow—ow

Someone‘s in the kitchen with Dinah, strummin‘ on the old banjo…and singin‘

Fee fie fiddle-di-i-o, fee fie fiddle-di-i-o-o-o-o

Fee fie fiddle-di-i-o, strummin‘ on the old banjo.



I'VE GOT MY LOVE TO KEEP ME WARM

The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing, but I can weather the storm!

What do I care how much it may storm? I've got my love to keep me warm.

I can't remember a worse December, just watch those icicles form!

What do I care if icicles form? I've got my love to keep me warm.

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove, I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!

My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher, so I will weather the storm!

What do I care how much it may storm? I've got my love to keep me warm.



I‘VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING

I‘ve got the world on a string, sittin‘ on a rainbow,

Got the string around my finger. What a world, what a life, I‘m in love.

I‘ve got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go

Anytime I move my finger. Lucky me, can‘t you see I‘m in love.

Life‘s a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string

I‘d be a silly so and so, if I should ever let it go.

I‘ve got the world on a string, sittin‘ on a rainbow,

Got the string around my finger. What a world, what a life, I‘m in love.



I'VE HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE

It seems to me I've heard that song before.

It's from an old familiar score, I know it well, that melody

It's funny how a theme recalls a favorite dream

A dream that brought you so close to me

I know each word, because I've heard that song before

The lyrics said: "forevermore, forevermore's a memory

Please have them play it again, and I'll remember just when

I heard that lovely song before



I WALK THE LINE

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time.

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds. Because you‘re mine I walk the line.

I find it very very easy to be true. I find myself alone when day is through.

Yes, I‘ll admit that I‘m a fool for you. Because you‘re mine I walk the line.

Harmonica verse

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time.

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds.

Because you‘re mine I walk the line. Because you‘re mine I walk the line.



I WANT A GIRL

I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old Dad

She was a pearl and the only girl that Daddy ever had

A real old fashioned girl with heart so true,

One who loves nobody else but you.

Oh, I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old Dad



I WANT TO BE HAPPY

I want to be happy, but I won‘t be happy till I make you happy too

Life‘s really worth living, when we are mirth-giving, why can‘t I give some to you?

When skies are gray and you say you are blue,

I‘ll send the sun smiling through

I want to be happy, but I won‘t be happy till I make you happy too.



I WILL

Who knows how long I‘ve loved you, you know I love you still

Will I wait a lonely lifetime? If you want me to, I will.

For if I ever saw you I didn‘t catch your name

But it never really mattered I will always feel the same

Love you forever and forever, love you with all my heart

Love you whenever we‘re together, love you when we‘re apart.

And when at last I find you your song will fill the air

Sing it loud so I can hear you make it easy to be near you

For the things you do endear you to me, ah, you know I will…..I will



I WISH YOU LOVE

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins, this is where our story ends, never lovers ever friends.

Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day, but before you walk away, I sincerely want to say.

I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing,

And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love.

And in July a lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade,

I wish you health, and more than wealth, I wish you love.

My foolish heart and I agree that you and I could never be,

So with my best, my very best, I set you free.

I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,

But most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.

But most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.



I WHISTLE A HAPPY TUNE

Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect

And whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I'm afraid.

While shivering in my shoes, I strike a careless pose

And whistle a happy tune so no one ever knows I'm afraid.

The result of this deception is very strange to tell,

For when I fool the people I fear, I fool myself as well.

I whistle a happy tune, and every single time,

The happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid.

Make believe you're brave, and the trick will take you far,

You may as brave as you make believe you are

(whistle)

You may as brave as you make believe you are.



I WONDER WHO‘S KISSING HER NOW

I wonder who‘s kissing her now, wonder who‘s teaching her how

Wonder who‘s looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.

I wonder who‘s buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine

Wonder if she ever tells him 'bout me, I wonder who‘s kissing her now.



IF I COULD BE WITH YOU

I'm so blue, I don't know what to do. All day through I'm pining just for you

I did wrong when I let you go away, and now I dream about you night and day

I'm unhappy and dissatisfied, but I'd be happy if I had you by my side....



If I could be with you, I'd love you strong, if I could be with you, I'd love ya long,

. . . want ya to know, I wouldn't go, until I told ya honey why I love ya so!

If I could be with you, one hour tonight, if I was free to do the things that I might,

I'm tellin' ya true, I'd be anythin' but blue, if I could be with you, for just an hour,

If I could be with you!



IF I HAD A HAMMER

If I had a hammer, I‘d hammer in the mor - ning

I‘d hammer in the evening all over this land

I‘d hammer out danger, I‘d hammer out warning

I‘d hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land



If I had a song, I‘d sing it in the morning

I‘d sing it in the evening all over this land

I‘d sing out danger, I‘d sing out warning

I‘d sing out love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land



If I had a bell, I‘d ring it in the morning

I‘d ring it in the evening all over this land

I‘d ring out danger, I‘d ring out warning

I‘d ring out love between my brothers and my sisters

All over this land



Now I‘ve got a hammer and I‘ve got a bell

And I‘ve got a song to sing all over this land

It‘s the hammer of justice, it‘s the bell of free—dom

It‘s the song about love between my brothers and my sisters

All …over this land. (Repeat last 3 lines)



IF I HAD YOU

I could show the world how to smile, I could be glad all of the while

I could change the grey skies to blue if I had you.

I could leave the old days behind, leave all my pals, I‘d never mind

I could start my life all anew if I had you.

I could climb the snowcapped mountains, sail the mighty ocean wide.

I could cross the burning desert, if I had you by my side.

I could be a king, dear, uncrowned, humble or poor, rich or renowned

There is nothing I couldn‘t do if I had you.



IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN

I could while away the hours, conferrin‘ with the flowers, consulting with the rain,

And my head I‘d be a-scratchin‘ while my thoughts were busy hatchin‘ if I only had a brain!

I‘d unravel every riddle for any individdle in trouble or in pain

With the thoughts that I‘d be thinkin‘, I could be another Lincoln if I only had a brain

Oh, I could tell you why, the ocean‘s near the shore

I could think of things I‘d never thunk before,

And then I‘d sit and think some more.

I would not be just a nuffin‘, my head all full of stuffin‘, my heart all full of pain.

And perhaps I‘d deserve you and be even worthy erv you if I only had a brain.



IF WE ONLY HAVE LOVE

If we only have love then tomorrow will dawn

And the days of our years will rise on that morn'

If we only have love to embrace without fears

We will kiss with our eyes, we will sleep without tears

If we only have love with our arms open wide

Then the young and the old will stand at our side

If we only have love, love that's falling like rain

Then the parched desert earth will grow green again

If we only have love for the hymn that we shout

For the song that we sing, then we'll have a way out.

If we only have love, we can reach those in pain

We can heal all our wounds, we can use our own names

If we only have love, we can melt all the guns

And then give the new world to our daughters and sons

If we only have love then Jerusalem stands

And then death has no shadow, there are no foreign lands

If we only have love, we will never bow down

We'll be tall as the pines, neither heroes nor clowns

If we only have love, then we'll only be men

And we'll drink from the grail, to be born once again

Then, with nothing at all, but the little we are

We'll have conquered all time, all space, the sun and the stars.



IF YOU KNEW SUSIE

I have got a sweetie known as Susie; in the words of Shakespeare she‘s a ―wow‖

Though all of you may know her too, I‘d like to shout right now:



If you knew Susie like I know Susie, Oh! Oh! Oh! what a girl!

There‘s none so classy as this fair lassie, Oh! Oh! Holy Moses! what a chassis!

We went riding, she didn‘t balk; back from Yonkers, I‘m the one that had to walk

If you knew Susie like I know Susie, Oh! Oh! What a girl!



IN MY LIFE

There are places I‘ll remember all my life though some have changed

Some forever, not for better, some have gone and some remain

All these places had their moments with lovers and friends I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living, in my life, I‘ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you

And these mem‘ries lose their meaning when I think of love as something new

Though I know I‘ll never lose affection for people and things that went before

I know I‘ll often stop and think about them, in my life I‘ll love you more



IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTY TOWN

It‘s only a shanty in old Shanty Town, the roof is so slanty it touches the ground

But my tumbled down shack, by an old railroad track,

Like a millionaire‘s mansion, is calling me back.

I‘d give up a palace, if I were a king; it‘s more than a palace, it‘s my everything

There‘s a queen waiting there with a silvery crown

In a shanty in old Shanty Town.



IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME

In the good old summertime, in the good old summer-time

Strolling through the shady lanes with your baby mine.

You hold her hand and she holds yours and that‘s a very good sign

That she‘s your tootsie-wootsie in the good old summertime.



IN THE MOOD

Who's the livin' dolly with the beautiful eyes?

What a pair of lips, I'd like to try 'em for size

I'll just tell her, "Baby, won't you swing it with me?"

Hope she tells me "maybe," what a wing it will be.

So I said politely, "Darlin, may I intrude?"

She said, "Don't keep me waiting when I'm in the mood."



First I held her lightly and we started to dance

Then I held her tightly what a dreamy romance

And I said, "Hey, baby, it's a quarter to three.

There's a mess of moonlight, won't you share it with me?

"Well," she answered, "Mister, don't-cha know that it's rude

To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood."

In the mood, that's what she told me. In the mood, and when she told me,

In the mood, my heart was skippin', it didn't take me long to say, "I'm in the mood."

In the mood, for all her kissin', in the mood, her crazy lovin'

In the mood, what I was missin', it didn't take me long to say, "I'm in the mood now."



IN YOUR EASTER BONNET

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it

You‘ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.

I‘ll be all in clover and when they look you over

I‘ll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade

On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, the photographers will snap us,

And you‘ll find that you‘re in the rotogravure.

Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet

An of the girl I‘m taking to the Easter Parade.



ISN'T THIS A LOVELY DAY

The weather is frightening, the thunder and lightning seem to be having their way

But as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day

The turn in the weather will keep us together, so I can honestly say

That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day and everything's okay.



Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain

You were going on your way, now you've got to remain

Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea

The clouds broke, they broke and oh! what a break for me!

I can see the sun up high, though we're caught in a storm

I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter patter, but it really doesn't matter if the skies are gray

Long as I can be with you, it's a lovely day.



IT HAD TO BE YOU

It had to be you, it had to be you I wandered around and finally found somebody who

Could make me be true, could make me feel blueAnd even be glad, just to be sad, thinking of you.

Some others I‘ve seen might never be mean

Might never be cross or try to be boss, but they wouldn‘t do

For nobody else gave me a thrill, with all your faults I love you still

It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you.



IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING

I‘m as restless as a willow in a wind-storm, I‘m as jumpy as a puppet on a string

I‘d say that I had spring fever, but I know it isn‘t spring.

I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented, like a nightingale without a song to sing.

Oh, why should I have spring fever when it isn‘t even spring?

I keep wishing I were somewhere else, walking down a strange new street

Hearing words that I have never heard from a girl I‘ve yet to meet

I‘m as busy as a spider spinning day-dreams, I‘m as giddy as a baby on a swing.

I haven‘t seen a crocus or a rosebud, or a robin on the wing,

But I feel so gay in a melancholy way that it might as well be spring

It might as well be spring.



IT‘S A BLUE WORLD

It‘s a blue world without you, it‘s a blue world alone

My days and nights that once were filled with heaven

With you away how empty they have grown.

It‘s a blue world from now on, it‘s a through world for me

The sea, the sky, my heart and I we‘re all an indigo hue

Without you it‘s a blue, blue world.



IT‘S A LOVELY DAY TODAY

It‘s a lovely day today, so whatever you‘ve got to do

You‘ve got a lovely day to do it in, that‘s true.

And I hope whatever you‘ve got to do is something that can be done by two.

For I‘d really like to stay.

It‘s a lovely day today, and whatever you‘ve got to do

I‘d be so happy to be doing it with you.

But if you‘ve got something that must be done, and it can only be done by one,

There is nothing more to say,

Except it‘s a lovely day for saying it‘s a lovely day.



IT'S A SIN TO TELL A LIE

Be sure it's true when you say, "I love you," IT'S A SIN TO TELL A LIE!

Many poor hearts have been broken, just because those words are spok - en.

I love you, yes I do, I love you. If you break my heart I‘ll die.

So be sure it's true when you say, "I love you,"

IT'S A SIN…….TO TELL……A LIE!



IT'S MY PARTY

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone, but Judy left the same time

Why was he holding her hand, when he's supposed to hold mine?

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you

Here are my records, keep dancing all night, but leave me alone for a while

'Til Johnny's dancing with me, I've got no reason to smile

It's my party....

Judy and Johnny just walked thru the door like a queen and her king

Oh, what a perfect surprise, Judy's wearing his ring

It's my party....



IT‘S ONLY A PAPER MOON

Say, it‘s only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea

But it wouldn‘t be make believe if you believed in me.

Yes, it‘s only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree

But it wouldn‘t be make believe if you believed in me.

Without your love, it‘s a honky-tonk parade.

Without your love, it‘s a melody played in a penny arcade.

It‘s a Barnum and Bailey world, just as phony as it can be

But it wouldn‘t be make believe if you believed…….if you believed…..

If you.. be..lieved.. in.. me.



IT'S TOO LATE

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time

There's something wrong here, there can be no denying

One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late, though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died and I can't hide and I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you

You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do

Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

There'll be good times again for me and you

But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too

Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, it's too late, though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died and I can't hide and I just can't fake it



ITSY BITSY TEENIE WEENIE YELLOW POLKA DOT BIKINI

She was afraid to come out of the locker, she was as nervous as she could be

She was afraid to come out of the locker, she was afraid that somebody would see (2,3,4 tell....)

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini that she wore for the first time today

An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini,

So in the locker she wanted to stay (2,3,4 stick....)

She was afraid to come out in the open, and so a blanket around her she wore

She was afraid to come out in the open, and so she sat bundled up on the shore (2,3,4 tell....)

It was an itsy bitsy ......

Now she's afraid to come out of the water, and I wonder what she's gonna do

Now she's afraid to come out of the water, and the poor little girl's turning blue (2,3,4 tell....)

It was an itsy bitsy ......

From the locker to the blanket, from the blanket to the shore

From the shore to the water, guess there isn't any more!



JAMAICA FAREWELL

Down the way where the nights are gay and the sun shines daily on the mountain top,

I took a trip on a sailing ship and when I reach Jamaica I make a stop, but I‘m

CHORUS:

Sad to say I‘m on my way, won‘t be back for many a day

My heart is down my head is turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere and the dancin‘ girls swing to and fro

I must declare my heart is there, though I been from Maine to Mexico, but I‘m

CHORUS

Down at the market you can hear ladies cry out while on their heads they bear

Ake rice, salt fish are nice, and the rum is fine anytime of year, but I‘m

CHORUS



JEEPERS CREEPERS

I don't care what the weather man says, when the weatherman says it's raining,

You'll never hear me complaining, I'm certain the sun will shine,

I don't care how the weather vane points, when the weather vane points to gloomy,

It's gotta be sunny to me, when your eyes look into mine;

Jeepers Creepers! Where'd ya get those peepers? Jeepers Creepers! Where'd ya get those eyes?

Gosh all git up! How'd they get so lit up? Gosh all git up! How'd they get that size?

Golly gee! When you turn those heaters on, woe is me! Got to put my cheaters on,

Jeepers Creepers! Where'd ya get those peepers? On! Those weepers! How they hypnotize!

Where'd ya get those eyes? Where'd ya get those eyes?



JINGLE BELL ROCK

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock, jingle bell swing and jingle bells ring

Snowin‘ and blowin‘ up bushels of fun, now the jingle hop has begun.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock, Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time.

Dancin‘ and prancin‘ in jingle bell square, in the frosty air.

What a bright time, it‘s the right time to rock the night away.

Jingle bell time is a swell time to go glidin‘ in a one-horse sleigh.

Giddy-up, jingle-horse, pick up your feet, jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in a jinglin‘ beat, that‘s the jingle bell rock.

That‘s the jingle bell rock.



JINGLE BELLS

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh

O‘er the fields we go laughing all the way.

The bells on bob-tails ring to make our spirits bright.

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago I thought I‘d take a ride,

And soon Miss Fannie Bright as seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot,

He got into a drifted bank, and we, we got upsot.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one....horse.....open.....sleigh.



JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world, the Lord is come, let earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare Him room, and Heaven and nature sing

And Heaven and nature sing, and Heaven and Heaven and nature sing.

He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness, and wonders of His love

And wonders of His love, and wonders, and wonders of His love.



JUST FRIENDS

Just friends, lovers no more, just friends, but not like before

To think of what we've been, and not to kiss again

Seems like pretending it isn't the ending.

Two friends, drifting apart, two friends, but one broken heart

We loved, we laughed, we cried, and suddenly love died

The story ends, and we're just friends

The story ends, and we're just friends.



JUST A GIGOLO

Just a gigolo, everywhere I go people know the part I‘m playing

Paid for every dance, selling each romance, every night some heart betraying

There will come a day youth will pass away, then what will they say about me?

When the end comes I know, they‘ll say just a gigolo as life goes on without me.



A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON

Give me a kiss to build a dream on, and my imagination will thrive upon that kiss

Sweetheart, I ask no more than this, a kiss to build a dream on.

Give me a kiss before you leave me, and my imagination will feed my hungry heart

Leave me one thing before we part, a kiss to build a dream on

When I'm alone with my fancies I'll be with you

Weaving romances, making believe they're true

Give me your lips for just a moment, and my imagination will make that moment live

Give me what you alone can give, a kiss to build a dream on.



LADY BE GOOD

Listen to my tale of woe; it's terribly sad, but true

All dressed up, no place to go; each evening I'm awfully blue

I must win some winsome miss, can't go on like this

I could blossom out, I know, with somebody just like you, so....

Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good! Oh, lady be good to me

I am so awfully misunderstood, so, lady be good to me.

Oh, please have some pity, I'm all alone in this big city, I tell you

I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood, so lady, be good,

Lady, be good, lady, be good to me............to me................

To me..........to me!



LA VIE EN ROSE

Hold me close and hold me fast the magic spells you cast, this is La Vie En Rose

When you kiss me heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes, I see La Vie En Rose

When you press me to your heart I'm in a world apart, a world where roses bloom

And when you speak angels sing from above, everyday words seem to turn into love songs

Give your heart and soul to me and life will always be La Vie En Rose.



Quand elle me prend dans ses bras, elle me parle tout bas, je vois la vie en rose

Elle me dit des mots d'amour, des mots de tous les jours, et ca me fait quelque chose

Elle est entree dans mon coeur, une part de bonheur, dont je connais la cause.

C'est elle pour moi, moi pour elle dans la vie, elle me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie

Et des que je l'apercois, alors je sens en moi mon coeur qui bat.



LAZY RIVER

Up a lazy river by the old mill-run, that lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun.

Linger in the shade of a kind old tree; throw away your troubles, dream a dream with me

Up a lazy river where the robin‘s song awakes a bright new morning, we can loaf along.

Blue skies up above, everyone‘s in love; up a lazy river, how happy you can be,

Up a lazy river, without a paddle, up…….. a lazy river………. with me



LEAVIN‘ ON A JET PLANE

All my bags are packed, I‘m ready to go

I‘m standing here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breaking, it‘s early morn‘

Taxi‘s waiting, he‘s blowing his horn.

Already I‘m so lonesome I could cry.

So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you‘ll wait for me

Hold me like you‘ll never let me go

‗Cause I‘m leavin‘ on a jet plane, don‘t know when I‘ll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There‘s so many times I‘ve let you down, so many times I‘ve played around

I tell you now… they don‘t mean a thing

Every place I go I‘ll think of you, every song I sing I‘ll sing for you

When I come back I‘ll wear your wedding ring……CHORUS



Now the time has come to leave you, one more time, let me kiss you

Then close your eyes, I‘ll be on my way

Dream about the days to come, when I won‘t have to leave alone

About the times I won‘t have to say…..CHORUS



LEROY BROWN

Well, the south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town

And if you go down there you better just beware of a man named Leroy Brown

Now, Leroy wanted trouble, you see, he stands about 6 foot 4

All the downtown ladies call him ―Treetop Lover,‖ all the mans just call him ―Sir!‖



Well he‘s bad, bad Leroy Brown, baddest man in that whole damned town

He was badder than Old King Kong, and meaner than the junkyard dog.



Now Leroy, he‘s a gambler, and he like his fancy clothes

And he like to wave a dozen diamond rings in front of everybody‘s nose.

He got a custom Continental, he got an Eldorado too

He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun, he got a razor in his shoe.

Well Friday, ‗bout a week ago, Leroy, shootin‘ dice

And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris, and ooo, that girl looked nice!

Well, he cast his eyes upon her, and then the trouble soon began

Ol‘ Leroy Brown learned his lesson ‗bout messin‘ with the wife of a jealous man.



Well he‘s bad, bad Leroy Brown, baddest man in that whole damned town

He was badder than Old King Kong, and meaner than the junkyard dog.



Well, the two men took to fightin‘, and when they pulled them from the floor

Ol‘ Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle, with a couple of pieces gone.



Well he‘s bad, bad Leroy Brown, baddest man in that whole damned town

He was badder than Old King Kong, and meaner than the junkyard dog.

Well, he was badder than Old King Kong, and meaner than the junkyard dog.



THE LETTER

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane, ain‘t got time to take a fast train.

Lonely days are gone, I‘m a-goin‘ home, my baby just wrote me a letter.

I don‘t care how much money I gotta spend, got to get back to my baby again.

Lonely days are gone, I‘m a goin‘ home, my baby just wrote me a letter.

Well, she wrote me a letter, said she couldn‘t live without me no more

Listen, mister, can‘t you see I got to get back to my baby once more…….anyway.

Repeat 1st verse



LET IT BE

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary Comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let it Be

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let it Be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeh, let it be, whisper words of wisdom, Let It Be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeh, let it be, there will be an answer, Let It Be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me

Shine until tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeh, let it be, whisper words of wisdom, let it be.



LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful.

And since we‘ve no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It doesn‘t show signs of stopping and I brought some corn for popping,

The lights are turned way down low, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight, how I‘ll hate going out in the storm

But if you‘ll really hold me tight, all the way home I‘ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying, and my dear, we‘re still goodbye-ing

But as long as you love me so, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART

Let me call you sweetheart, I‘m in love with you

Let me hear you whisper that you love me too

Keep the lovelight glowing in your eyes so true

Let me call you sweetheart, I‘m in love with you.



LET‘S GET AWAY FROM IT ALL

Let‘s take a boat to Bermuda. Let‘s take a plane to Saint Paul

Let‘s take a kayak to Quincy or Nyack, let‘s get away from it all

Let‘s take a trip in a trailer, no need to come back at all

Let‘s take a powder to Boston for chowder, let‘s get away from it all

We‘ll travel ‗round from town to town, we‘ll visit every state

I‘ll repeat ―I love you, Sweet‖ in all the forty-eight

Let‘s go again to Niagara, this time we‘ll look at the ―Fall.‖

Let‘s leave our hut, dear, get out of the rut, dear.

Let‘s get away from it all.



LET‘S TWIST AGAIN

Let‘s twist again like we did last summer, yeah, let‘s twist again like we did last year

Do you remember when things were really hummin‘?

Yeah, let‘s twist again, twistin‘ time is here

‗Round and ‗round and up and down we go again

Oh baby, make know you love me so, and then

Let‘s twist again like we did last summer, yeah, let‘s twist again, like we did last year

Let‘s twist again, like we did last year, let‘s twist again, twisting time is here.



LITTLE BOAT

My little boat is like a note bouncing merrily along, hear it splashing up a song

The sails of white, the sky is bright, heading out into the blue with a crew of only two

Where we can share love's salty air on a little paradise that's afloat

Not a care have we in my little boat

The wind is still, we feel the thrill of a voyage heaven-bound, though we only drift around

Warmed by the sun, two hearts as one, pounding with enchanted bliss with each other's kis

When daylight ends and slyly sends little stars that twinkle brightly above

It's good bye to you, little boat of love



LOOK OVER THERE

How often is someone concerned with the tiniest thread of your life?

Concerned with whatever you feel, and whatever you touch?

Look over there, look over there. Somebody cares that much

How often can somebody sense that you need them without being told

When you have a hurt in your heart, you're too proud to disclose

Look over there, look over there, somebody always knows

When your world spins too fast, and your bubble has burst

Someone puts herself last, so that you can come first.

So count all the loves who will love from now 'til the end of your life

And when you have added the loves who have loved you before

Look over there, look over there, somebody loves you more, somebody loves you more.



A LOT OF LIVIN' TO DO

There are girls just ripe for some kissin', and I mean to kiss me a few

Oh, those girls don't know what they're missin', I've got a lot of livin' to do

And there's wine, all ready for tastin', and there's Cadillacs all shiny and new

Gotta move, 'cause time is a-wastin', there's such a lot of livin' to do.

There's music to play, places to go, people to see, everything for you and me!

Life's a ball, if only you know it. And it's all just waitin' for you

You're alive, so come on and show it! There's such a lot of livin',

Such a lot of livin', such a lot of livin' to do!



L.O.V.E

L is for the way you Look at me.

O is for the Only one I see.

V is Very, Very extraordinary.

E is Even more than anyone that you adore can.

Love is all that I can give to you, Love is more than just a game for two.

Two in Love can make it. Take my heart and please don‘t break it.

Love was made for me and you. Love was made for me and you



LOVE AND MARRIAGE

Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage;

This I tell you, brother, you can't have one without the other.

Love and marriage, love and marriage it's an institute you can't disparage.

Ask the local gentry and they will say it's element'ry

Try, try, try to separate them it's an illusion;

Try, try, try, and you will only come to this conclusion.

Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage;

Dad was told by mother, you can't have one, you can't have none,

You can't have one without the other.



LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAND

On a day like today we passed the time a-way writing love letters in the sand

How you laughed when I cried each time I saw the tide take our love letters in the sand

You made a vow that you would always be true

But some-how that vow meant nothing to you

Now my poor heart just aches with every wave it breaks over love letters in the sand

Now my poor heart just aches with every wave it breaks over love letters in the sand



LOVE ME TENDER

Love me tender, love me sweet; never let me go. You have made my life complete, and I love you so.

Love me tender, love me true; all my dreams fulfill. For, my darling, I love you, and I always will.

Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart. For it‘s there that I belong, and we‘ll never part.

Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.

For, my darling, I love you, and I always will (X2)



LOVING YOU HAS MADE ME BANANAS

Oh, your red scarf matches your eyes, you close your cover before striking.

Your father has the shipfitter's blues, loving you has made me bananas. (Repeat)

You burned your finger that evening, while my back was turned.

I asked the waiter for iodine, but I dined all alone. (Repeat 1st verse)



LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth

You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth

She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine

I told her that I was a flop with chicks

I'd been this way since 1956

She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign

She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine"



She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink

She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"

It smelled like turpentine, it looked like India Ink*

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink



I didn't know if it was day or night

I started kissin' everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine





LULLABY IN RAGTIME

Won‘t you play the music so the cradle can rock to a lullaby in ragtime

Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock, play a lullaby in ragtime

You can tell the sandman is on his way by the way that they play

As still as the trill of a thrush at twilight‘s hush

So you can hear the rhythm of the ripples on the side of the boat as you sail away to dreamland

High above the moon you hear a silvery note as the sandman takes your hand

So rock-a-bye my baby, don‘t you cry my baby, sleepy time is nigh

Won‘t you rock me to a ragtime lullaby.



LULLABY OF BIRDLAND

Lullaby of birdland that‘s what I always hear when you sigh

Never in my wordland could there be ways to reveal in a phrase how I feel!

Have you ever heard two turtle doves bill and coo when they love?

That‘s the kind of magic music we make with our lips when we kiss.

And there‘s a weepy old willow, he really knows how to cry.

That‘s how I‘d cry on my pillow if you should tell me farewell and good-bye!

Lullaby of birdland whisper low, kiss me sweet and we‘ll go

Flyin‘ high in birdland, high in the sky, flyin‘ high in birdland, high in the sky,

Flyin‘ high in birdland, high in the sky up above, ‗cause we‘re in love.



LULLABY OF BROADWAY

Come on along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway.

The hip hooray and bally hoo, the lullabye of Broadway

The rumble of the subway train, the rattle of the taxis

The daffydils who entertain at Angelo's and Maxie's.

When a Broadway baby says good night, it's early in the morning

Manhattan babies don't sleep tight until the dawn

Good night, baby, good night, milkman's on his way.

Sleep tight, baby. Sleep tight, let's call it a day, HEY!

Come on along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway.

The hip hooray and bally hoo, the lullabye of Broadway

The band begins to go to town, and everyone goes crazy

You rock-a-bye your baby 'round 'til everythying gets hazy.

Hush a bye, I'll buy you this and that, you hear a daddy saying

And baby goes home to her flat to sleep all day

Good night, baby, good night, milkman's on his way.

Sleep tight, baby. Sleep tight, let's call it a day!

Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway.



LULLABY OF THE LEAVES

Cradle me where southern skies can watch me with a million eyes

Oh, sing me to sleep, lullaby of the leaves

Cover me with heaven‘s blue and let me dream a dream or two

Oh, sing me to sleep, lullaby of the leaves.

I‘m breezing along, along with the breeze,

I‘m hearing a song, a song thru the trees; ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

That pine melody caressing the shore,

Familiar to me, I‘ve heard it before; ooh ooh that‘s South-land

Don‘t I feel it in my soul, and don‘t I know I‘ve reached my goal,

Oh, sing me to sleep, sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep, lullaby of the leaves.



MA CHERIE AMOUR

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

Ma Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day

Ma Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way

Ma Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore

You're the only girl my heart beats for

How I wish that you were mine



In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street

I've been near you, but you never notice me

My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore

That behind that little smile I wore

How I wish that you were mine



Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd

Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud

Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore

You're the only girl my heart beats for

How I wish that you were mine



La la la la la la

La la la la la la





MAIRZY DOATS

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey

A kiddley divey too, wouldn‘t you?

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey

A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

If the words sound queer and funny to your ear

A little bit jumbled and jivey

Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivey"

Mairzy doats and dozey doats and liddle lamzy divey

A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you, oh yeh,(X2) A kiddley divey too, wooden shoe?



MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY

Make someone happy, make just one someone happy

Make just one heart the heart you sing to

One smile that cheers you, one face that lights when it nears you

One man you‘re everything to

Fame, if you win it, comes and goes in a minute

Where‘s the real stuff in life to cling to?

Love is the answer, someone to love is the answer.

Once you‘ve found him, build your world around him.

Make someone happy, make just one someone happy, and you will be happy too.



MAKIN' WHOOPEE

Another bride, another June, another sunny honeymoon,

Another season, another reason for makin' whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice, the groom is nervous, he answers twice

It's really killing, that he's so willing to make whoopee.

Picture a little love-nest, down where the roses cling

Picture the same sweet love-nest, think what a year can bring

He's washing dishes and baby clothes, he's so ambitious, he even sews

But don't forget folks, that's what you get, folks, for makin' whoopee!

Another year or maybe less, what's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?

She feels neglected and he's suspected of makin' whoopee

She sits alone most every night, he doesn't phone her, he doesn't write

He says he's "busy," but she says "is he?" He's makin' whoopee!

He doesn't make much money, only six thousand per

Some judge who thinks he's funny says "You'll pay six to her."

He says now Judge, suppose I fail? The judge says "Budge right into jail.

You'd better keep her, I think it's cheaper than makin whoopee!



MARGARITAVILLE

Nibblin‘ on sponge cake, watchin‘ the sun bake

All of those tourists all covered with oil

Strummin‘ my four-string on my front porch swing

Smell those shrimp they‘re beginnin‘ to boil

Wastin‘ away again in Margaritaville, searching for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there‘s a woman to blame, but I know it‘s nobody‘s fault.

I don‘t know the reason I stayed here all season

Nothin‘ to show but this brand new tattoo

But it‘s a real beauty, a Mexican cutie, how it got here I haven‘t a clue.

CHORUS

I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top

Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home

But there‘s booze in the blender and soon it will render

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

CHORUS



MARIE

Marie, the dawn is breaking. Marie, you'll soon be waking

To find your heart is aching, and tears will fall as you recall

The moon in all its splendor, the kiss, so very tender

The words will you surrender to me, Marie



MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER

Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in the home

Late nights all alone with a test-tube,oh, oh, oh, oh!

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine calls her on the phone

"Can I take you out to the pictures, Jo-o-o-oan?"

But as she's getting ready to go, a knock comes on the door

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head

Blang, blang, Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.

Back in school again, Maxwell plays the fool again, teacher gets annoyed

Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene.

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away, so he waits behind.

Writing fifty times, I must not be so-o-o-o.

But when she turns her back on the boy, he creeps up from behind.

Bang, bang..................

Silver Hammer, ooooo oooooo!

P. C. Thirty-One said, "We've caught a dirty one." Maxwell stands alone,

Painting testimonial pictures, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery, say he must go free

The judge does not agree, and he tells them so-o-o-o.

But as the words are leaving his lips, a noise comes from behind.

Bang, bang.....................

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.......



McDONALD‘S IS YOUR KIND OF PLACE

(sung to the tune of ―Down By the Riverside‖)

McDonald‘s is your kind of place, hamburgers in your face

French fries up your nose, mustard between your toes

The last time that I ate there, they stole my underwear

McDonald‘s is the place for me



ME AND MY SHADOW

Me and my shadow, strolling down the avenue.

Me and my shadow, not a soul to tell our troubles to

And when it‘s twelve o‘clock we climb the stair,

We never knock, for nobody‘s there,

Just me and my shadow, all alone and feeling blue.



ME, MYSELF, AND I

Me, myself, and I are all in love with you.

We all think you‘re wonderful, we do.

Me, myself, and I have just one point of view.

We‘re convinced there‘s no one else like you.

It can‘t be denied, dear, you brought the sun to us

We‘d be satisfied, dear, if you, you‘d belong to one of us.

So if you pass me by three hearts will break in two,

‗Cause me, myself, and I are all in love with you.



MEDITATION

In my loneliness, when you‘re gone and I‘m all by myself and I need your caress

I just think of you, and the thought of you holding me near makes my loneliness soon disappear

Though you‘re far away, I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay

I just close my eyes, and the sadness that missing you brings

Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings

Yes, I love you so, and that for me is all I need to know

I will wait for you ‗til the sun falls from out of the sky, for what else can I do?

I will wait for you, meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me

Meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me.



MELE KALIKIMAKA

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright Hawiian Christmas Day

That's the island greeting that we send to you from the land where palm trees sway

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright

The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night

Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say Merry Christmas to you



Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright Hawiian Christmas Day

A very Merry Christmas, a very, very, Merry, Merry Chistmas to you.



MISTER SANDMAN

Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom, etc.

Mis….ter…Sandman, bring me a dream, make his complexion like peaches and cream

Give her two lips like roses and clover, then tell me that my lonesome nights are over

Sandguy, I‘m so alone, ain‘t got nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam, Mr. Sandman bring me a dream.



Mr. Sandman, YESSSSS….. bring me a dream, make him the cutest that I‘ve ever seen

Give him the word that I‘m not a rover, then tell me that my lonesome nights are over

Please turn on your magic beam,

Mr. Sand-man bring me, please, please bring me, Mr. Sand-man, bring me a dream.

Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom, etc…Mr. Sandman



MISTY

Look at me, I‘m as helpless as a kitten up a tree

And I feel like I‘m clinging to a cloud, I can‘t understand

I get misty just holding your hand

Walk my way, and a thousand violins begin to play

Or it might be the sound of your hello, that music I hear, I get misty the moment you‘re near.

You can say that you‘re leading me on, but it‘s just what I want you to do

Don‘t you notice how hopelessly I‘m lost, that‘s why I‘m following you.

On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone

Never knowing my right foot from my left, my hat from my glove,

I‘m too misty and too much in love,

I‘m too misty and too much in love.



MOCKINGBIRD HILL

When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill

And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill

Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill

Of those birds in the treetops on Mockin'bird Hill

Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill

To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill

Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee, there's peace and good will -

You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill

When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill

And survey all my kingdom while everything's still

Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill

Singing songs in the twilight on Mockin'bird Hill

(Repeat Refrain)

Got a three cornered plow and an acre to till

And a mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill

There's a tumbledown shack and a rusty old mill,

But it's my home sweet home up on Mockin'bird Hill.

(Repeat Refrain)



MOONLIGHT BAY

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay

We could hear the voices singing; they seemed to say,

―You have stolen my heart, now don‘t go ‗way,‖

As we sang love‘s old sweet song on Moonlight Bay.



MORE

More than the greatest love the world has known. This is the love I'll give to you alone.

More than the simple words I try to say. I only live to love you more each day

More than you'll ever know, my arms long to hold you so

My life will be in your keeping, waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time. But far beyond forever you'll be mine.

I know I never lived before and my heart is very sure no one else could love you more.





MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC

Put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon

All I want is having you and Music, Music, Music.

I‘ll do anything for you, anything you want me to.

All I want is kissing you and Music, Music, Music.

Closer, my dear, come closer

The nicest part of any melody is when you‘re dancing close to me.

So, put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon.

All I want is loving you and Music, Music, Music.



MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME

My baby don‘t care for shows, my baby don‘t care for clothes, my baby just cares for me

My baby don‘t care for furs and laces, my baby don‘t care for high toned places.

My baby don‘t care for rings, or other expensive things, she‘s sensible as can be.

My baby don‘t care who knows it, my baby just cares for me.



My baby‘s no Gilbert fan, Ron Colman is not her man, my baby just cares for me

My baby don‘t care for Lawrence Tibbets, she‘d rather have me around to kibbitz.

Bud Rodgers iis noto her style, and even Chevalier‘s smile, is something that she can‘t see.

I wonder what‘s wrong with baby? My baby just cares for me.



MY BLUE HEAVEN

When Whippoorwills call and evening is nigh, I hurry to my blue heaven.

A turn to the right, a little white light will lead you to my blue heaven.

You'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room, a little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom.

Just Mollie and me and baby makes three. We're happy in my blue heaven.

MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN

My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea.

My Bonnie lies over the ocean. Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Bring back, bring back, oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.

Bring back, bring back, oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.



MY FAVORITE THINGS

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm, woolen mittens,

Brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels, doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, these are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,

Silver-white winters that melt into springs, these are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I‘m feeling sad,

I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel…..so bad.



MY KIND OF GIRL

She walks like an angel walks, she talks like an angel talks,

And her hair has a kind of curl, to my mind, she's my kind of girl.

She's wise like an angel's wise, with eyes like an angel's eyes,

And a smile like a kind of pearl, to my mind, she's my kind of girl.

Pretty little face, that face just knocks me off my feet,

Pretty little feet, she's really sweet enough to eat.

She looks like an angel looks, she cooks like an angel cooks,

And my mind's in a kind of whirl, to my mind, she's my kind of girl.

And my heart's kinda full of joy, because she's told me I'm her kind of boy.



MY PRAYER

When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing

When the twilight is gone you come into my heart

And here in my heart you will stay while I pray



My prayer is to linger with you

At the end of the day in a dream that's divine

My prayer is a rapture in blue

With the world far away and your lips close to mine

Tonight while our hearts are aglow

Oh tell me the words that I'm longing to know

My prayer and the answer you give

May they still be the same for as long as we live

That you'll always be there at the end of my prayer



MY ROMANCE

My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky

My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by

No month of May, no twinkling stars. No hideaway, no soft guitars

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain

Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain.

Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true

My romance doesn't need a thing but you.



MY SPECIAL ANGEL

Angel, angel, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa X2

You are my special angel, sent from up above

The Lord smiled down on me and sent an angel to love

You are my special angel, right from paradise

I know you're an angel, heaven is in your eyes

The smile from your lips brings the summer sunshine, tears from your eyes bring the rain

I feel your touch, your warm embrace, and I'm in heaven again

You are my special angel, through eternity

I'll have my special angel here to watch over me, here to watch over me.

Angel, angel, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa



MY WILD IRISH ROSE

My wild Irish rose, the sweetest flower that grows,

You may search everywhere, but none can compare

With my wild Irish rose.

My wild Irish rose, the dearest flower that grows,

And, someday for my sake, she may let me take

The bloom from my wild Irish rose.



NATURE BOY

There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far, very far, over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye, but very wise was he.

And then one day, one magic day he came my way.

And as we spoke of many things, fools and kings, this he said to me:

―The greatest thing you‘ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.‖



THE NEARNESS OF YOU

It‘s not the pale moon that excites me, that thrills and delights me

Oh no, it‘s just the nearness of you.

It isn‘t your sweet conversa - tion that brings this sensation

Oh no, it‘s just the nearness of you.

When you‘re in my arms and I feel you so close to me

All my wildest dreams come true.

I need no soft lights to enchant me if you‘ll only grant me

The right to hold you ever so tight

And to feel in the night the nearness of you.



NEVER SWAT A FLY

Never swat a fly, he may love another fly

He may sit with her and sigh the way I do with you

Never harm a flea, he may have a favorite she

That he bounces on his knee the way I do with you

Never stop a moth when he is gliding through the air

He may have a date in someone's flannel underware...ah be careful

Never spray a nit with a great big can of blitz

He may think some nit has it the way I do with you



NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT

The man who only lives for making money

Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny

Likewise the man who works for fame

There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name

The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment

Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant

Fall in love and you won't regret it

That's the best work of all, if you can get it



Holding hands at midnight 'neath a starry sky.

Nice work if you can get it, and you can get it if you try.

Strolling with the one girl, sighing sigh after sigh.

Nice work if you can get it, and you can get it if you try.

Just imagine someone wating at the cottage door

Where two hearts become one, who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you, and then taking that vow,

Nice work if you can get it, and if you get it, won't you tell me how?



THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES

They say that you‘re a runaround lover, though you say it isn‘t so

But, if you put me down for another, I‘ll know, believe me, I‘ll know

‗Cause the night has a thousand eyes, and a thousand eyes can‘t help but see if you are true to me

So, remember when you tell those little white lies that the night has a thousand eyes

You say that you‘re at home when you phone me, and how much you really care

Though you keep telling me that you‘re lonely, I‘ll know if someone is there=

‗Cause the night has a thousand eyes, and a thousand eyes can‘t help but see if you are true to me

One of these days you‘re gonna be sorry ‗cause your game I‘m gonna play

And you‘ll find out without really tryin‘ each time that my kisses stray

‗Cause the night has a thousand eyes, and a thousand eyes will see me too, and no matter what I do

I could never disguise all my little white lies ‗cause the night has a thousand eyes

So, remember when you tell those little white lies that the night has a thousand eyes



NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE RAILROADS ANYMORE

When we got married, back in 1944, we‘d board that silver liner below Baltimore

Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon, nobody cares about the railroads anymore.

We‘d tip that porter for a place of our own, then send a postcard to your Mom and Dad back home

Did somethin‘ to ya when you‘d hear that ―all aboard!‖ nobody cares about the railroads anymore

Oo-ee, oo-ee, oo-ee………………oo-ee, oo-ee, oo-ee HOOOOO

We had a daughter, and you ought to see her now. She has a boyfriend who looks just like my gal sal

And when they‘re married they won‘t need us anymore,

They‘ll board an aeroplane and fly away from Baltimore.

Oo-ee, oo-ee, oo-ee……………….oo-ee, oo-ee, oo-ee HOOOOO (Repeat 1st verse)



NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Spendin' all my money, and I didn't care

Takin' my friends out for a good time

Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

Didn't have a friend, and no place to go

If I ever get my hands on a dollar again

I'm gonna squeeze it till the eagle grins, because...



Nobody knows you when you're down and out

In your pocket, not one penny

As for your friends-you ain't got too many

But as soon as I get back on my feet again

Everybody's gonna want to be my long lost friend

It's mighty strange, without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

I mean when you down and out



NO MORE BLUES

No more blues I'm going back home

No, no more blues I promise no more to roam

Home is where the heart is

The funny part is, my heart's been right here all alone

No more tears, and no more sighs

No, no more fears- I'll say no more goodbye

If travel beckons me, I swear I'm gonna refuse

I'm gonna settle down, and there'll be no more blues

Everyday while I am far away

My thoughts turn homeward, forever homeward

I've traveled round the world in search of happiness

But all the happiness I've found is in my hometown

No more blues I'm going back home

No, no more blues I'm through with all my wandering now

I'll settle down and never roam

And find a man and build a home

When we settle down, there'll be no more blues

Nothing but happiness

When we settle down, there'll be no more blues



OH CHANUKAH

Oh, Chanukah, oh Chanukah, come light the menorah. Let‘s have a party, we‘ll all dance the hora

Gather ‗round the table, I‘ll give you a treat. Dray—dles to play with and latkes to eat.

And while we are playing, the candles are burning low,

One for each night, they shed a sweet light, to remind us of days long ago.

One for each night, they shed a sweet light, to remind us of days long ago.



OY KHANUKA

Oy Khanuka, Oy Khanukah a yomtov a sheyner

A lustiker, a freylicher, nito noch azeyner

Alle nacht in dreydl shpiln mir

Zudik heisse latkes, essen mir.

Geshvinder, tsindt kinder di khanuka likhtelech on

Zingt ―Al Hanisim‖, loybt Gott far di nisim

Un kumt gikher tantzn in kohn

Zingt ―Al Hanisim‖, loybt Gott far di nisim

Un kumt gikher tantzn in kohn.



OH, LONESOME ME

Everybody's goin' out and havin' fun. I'm just a fool for stayin' home and havin' none.

I can't get over how she set me free. Oh, lonesome me.

A bad mistake I'm makin' by just hangin' 'round.

I know that I should have some fun and paint the town

A lovesick fool that's blind and just can't see, oh, lonesome me

I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free, flirting with the boys with all her charms

But I still love her so and, brother, don't you know I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues,

Forget about the past and find somebody new.

I've thought of everything from A to Z. Oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me.



OH! MY PAPA

Oh! My Papa, to me he was so wonderful, OMP, to me he was so good.

No one could be so gentle and so lovable. OMP, he always understood

Gone are the days when he would take me on his knee

And with a smile, he‘d change my tears to laughter.

OMP, so funny, so adorable, always the clown, so funny in his way.

OMP, to me he was so wonderful, deep in my heart I miss him so today.

Oh! My Papa, Oh! My Papa.



OH! YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL

Oh! You beautiful doll, you great big beautiful doll

Let me put my arms about you

I could never live without you

Oh! You beautiful doll, you great big beautiful doll

If you ever leave me, how my heart would ache

I want to hug you but I fear you‘d break

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! You beautiful doll.



OLD CAPE COD

If you‘re fond of sand dunes and salty air, quaint little villages here and there,

You‘re sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.

If you like the taste of a lobster stew, served by a window with an ocean view,

You‘re sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.

Winding roads that seem to beckon you,

Miles of green beneath the skies of blue,

Church bells chiming on a Sunday morn

Remind you of the town where you were born.

If you spend an evening, you‘ll want to stay, watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay;

You‘re sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.

You‘re sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.



OLD ROCKING CHAIR

Old rocking chair's got me, my cane by my side,

Fetch me that gin, son, 'fore I tan your hide.

Can't get from this cabin, goin' nowhere

Just set me here grabbin' at the flies round this rocking chair



My dear old aunt Harriet, in Heaven she be,

Send me sweet chariot, for the end of the trouble I see

Old rocking chair gets it, judgement day is here

Chained to my rocking chair.



O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars so by:

Yet in thy dark street shineth the everlasting Light;

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above,

While mortals sleep and angels keep their watch of wond‘ring love.

O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God, the King, and peace to men on earth.

ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA

I‘d love to get you on a slow boat to china, all to my self, alone

Get you and keep you in my arms evermore

Leave all the others waiting on a faraway shore.

Out on the briny with a moon big and shiny melting your heart of stone.

I‘d love to get you on a slow boat to China, all to myself alone



ONCE IN LOVE WITH AMY

Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy.

Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart on fire to stay

Once you‘re kissed by Amy, tear up your list, it‘s Amy

Ply her with bon-bons, poetry and flowers, moon a million hours

You might be the fickle-hearted rover, so carefree and bold who

Loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold.

But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy.

Ever and ever sweetly you‘ll romance her, trouble with the answer will be

That Amy‘d rather stay, Amy‘d rather stay, Amy‘d…. rather…stay….in….love…with…me.



ONE NOTE SAMBA

This is just a little samba, built upon a single note

Other notes are bound to follow, but the root is still that note

Now this new one is the consequence of the one we‘ve just been through

As I‘m bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you

There‘re so many people who can talk and talk and talk and just say nothing, or nearly nothing

I have used up all the scale I know and at the ending I‘ve come to nothing, or nearly nothing

So I come back to my first note, as I must come back to you

I will pour into that one note all the love I feel for you.

Anyone who wants the whole show, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do

He will find himself with no show. Better play the note you know

He will find himself with no show. Better play the note you know

He will find himself with no show. Better play the note you know



ONLY YOU

Only you can make this world seem right, only you can make the darkness bright

Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do

And fill my heart with love for only you



Only you can make this change in me, for it's true, you are my destiny

When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do

You're my dream come true, my one and only you

You're my dream come true, my one and only you



ON THE ROAD AGAIN

On the road again, just can‘t wait to get on the road again

The life I love is makin‘ music with my friends, and I can‘t wait to get on the road again.

On the road again, goin‘ places that I‘ve never been

Seein‘ things that I may never see again, and I can‘t wait to get on the road again.

On the road again, like a band of gypsies we go down the highway

We‘re the best of friends, insisting that the world be turnin‘ our way….and our way

Is on the road again, just can‘t wait to get on the road again

The life I love is makin‘ music with my friends, and I can‘t wait to get on the road again

And I can‘t wait to get on the road again.

ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE

I have often walked down this street before

But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before

All at once am I several stories high, knowing I'm on the street where you live

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town

Can you hear a lark in any other part of town

Does enchantment pour out of every door? No, it's just on the street where you live

Oh, the towering feeling, just to know somehow you are near

The overpowering feeling that any second you may suddenly appear

People stop and stare, they don't bother me

For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be

Let the time go by, I won't care if I can be here on the street where you live





ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET

Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep

Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street

Can‘t you hear a pitter pat and that happy tune is your step

Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with the blues on parade

Now I‘m not afraid, this rover crossed over

If I never had a cent I‘d be rich as Rockefeller

Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street

On the sunny, on that sunny side of the street.



ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese

I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table and on to the floor

And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden and under a bush

And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush

The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be

And then the next summer it grew into a tree

The tree was all covered, all covered with moss

And on it grew meatballs and tomato sauce

So if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese

Hold on to your meatball whenever you sneeze.



OPUS ONE

Oh, baby, I‘m wrackin‘ my brain to think of a name to give to this tune so Perry can croon

And maybe ol‘ Bing will give it a fling and that‘ll start everyone hummin‘ the thing

The melody‘s dumb, repeat and repeat, but if you can swing, it‘s got a good beat

And that‘s the main thing to make it complete when everyone‘s swingin‘ today.

So we call it Opus One, it‘s not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey.

It‘s Opus One, got to swing and sway ba – by!

And Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned and Ray Anthony can rock it for me

There‘s never a doubt, you knock yourself out, whenever you can hear Opus One.

Instrumental

Oh, baby, I‘m wrackin‘ my brain to think of a name to give to this tune so Perry can croon

And maybe ol‘ Bing will give it a fling and that‘ll start everyone hummin‘ the thing

And Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned and Ray Anthony can rock it for me

There‘s never a doubt, you knock yourself out, whenever you can hear Opus One.



O, SUSANNA

I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

I‘m going to Lusianna, my true love for to see

It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry

The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna, don‘t you cry

O, Susanna, oh don‘t you cry for me

‗Cause I come from Alabama with an ukulele on my knee

I had a dream the other night when everything was still

I thought I saw Susanna, dear, a‘comin‘ down the hill

A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye

Says I, ―I‘m comin‘ from the south, Susanna, don‘t you cry.

(CHORUS)



OUR DAY WILL COME

Our day will come and we'll have everything

We'll share the joy falling in love can bring

No one can tell me that I'm too young to know I love you so

And you love me

Our day will come if we just wait a while

No tears for us, think love and wear a smile

Our dreams have magic because we'll always stay in love this way

Our day will come



OVERJOYED

Over time, I've been building my castle of love

Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason

I've gone much too far for you now to say

That I've got to throw my castle away



Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true

Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming

The sandman has come from too far away

For you to say come back some other day



And though you don't believe that they do, they do come true

For did my dreams come true when I looked at you

And maybe too, if you would believe, you too might be

Overjoyed, over loved, over me



Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone

Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover

I've come much too far for me now to find

The love that I've sought can never be mine



And though you don't believe that they do, they do come true

For did my dreams come true when I looked at you

And maybe too, if you would believe, you too might be

Overjoyed, over loved, over me



And though the odds say improbable, what do they know

For in romance all true love needs is a chance

And maybe with a chance you will find you too like I

Overjoyed, over loved, over you......over you. . . . . .



OVER THE RAINBOW

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high,

There's a land that I heard of once in a lulla - by.

Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly, birds fly over the rainbow,

Why oh why can't I?



PAINTED, TAINTED ROSE

She was a wild and lovely rose

Oh, how I loved her, heaven knows

But though my heart was true, it would never do

Party life was what she chose

Last night I saw my lovely rose

All painted up in fancy clothes

Her eyes had lost their spark, the years had left their mark

She's just a painted, tainted rose



PAPER DOLL

I‘m goin‘ to buy a paper doll that I can call my own, a doll that other fellows cannot steal

And then those, flirty, flirty guys, with their flirty, flirty eyes will have to flirt with dollies that are real

When I come home at night she will be waiting, she‘ll be the truest doll in all the world

I‘d rather have a paper doll to call my own than have a fickle-minded real live girl



I guess I‘ve had a million dolls or more, I guess I‘ve played the doll game o‘er and o‘er

I just quarreled with Sue, that‘s why I‘m blue; She‘s gone away and left me just like all dolls do.

I‘ll tell you, boys, it‘s tough to be alone, and it‘s tough to love a doll that‘s not your own.

I‘m through with all of them, I‘ll never fall again, ‗cause this is what I‘ll do……



I‘m goin‘ to buy a paper doll that I can call my own, a doll that other fellows cannot steal

And then those, flirty, flirty guys, with their flirty, flirty eyes will have to flirt with dollies that are real

When I come home at night she will be waiting, she‘ll be the truest doll in all the world

I‘d rather have a paper doll to call my own than have a fickle-minded real live girl.



PEARLY SHELLS

Pearly shells from the ocean shining in the sun, covering the shore

When I see them my heart tells me that I love you more than all the little pearly shells.

For every grain of sand upon the beach, I‘ve got a kiss for you

And I‘ve got more left over for each star that twinkles in the blue.

Pearly shells from the ocean shining in the sun, covering the shore

When I see them my heart tells me that I love you more than all the little pearly shells.

More than all the little pearly shells.



PEGGY SUE

If you knew Peggy Sue, then you‘d know why I feel blue

About Peggy, my Peggy Sue…….

Oh, well, I love you, gal, yes, I love you, Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, oh, how my heart yearns for you,

Oh, Pa-heg-gy, my Pa-heg-gy Sue…..

Oh, well, I love you, gal, yes, I love you, Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Peggy Sue,

Oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue……..

Oh, well, I love you, gal, and I need you, Peggy Sue

I love you, Peggy Sue, with a love so rare and true

Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue……..

Oh, well, I love you, gal, and I want you Peggy Sue



PEG O‘ MY HEART

Peg o‘ my heart, I love you, we‘ll never part, I love you

Dear little girl, sweet little girl,

Sweeter than the rose of Erin, are your winning smiles endearing.

Peg o‘ my heart, your glances with Irish art entrance us,

Come, be my own, come, make your home in my heart.



PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

Every time it rains it rains pennies from heaven

Don‘t you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven

You‘ll find your fortune falling all over town

Just be sure that your umbrella is upside down

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers

If you want the things you love, you must have showers

So, if you hear it thunder, don‘t run under a tree

There‘ll be pennies from heaven for you and me.



PICK YOURSELF UP

Nothing‘s impossible I have found, for when my chin is on the ground,

I pick myself up, dust myself off, start all over again.

Don‘t lose your confidence if you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip,

And pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired, till the battle of the day is won.

You may be sick and tired, but you‘ll be a man, my son.

Will you remember the famous men, who had to fall to rise again?

So take a deep breath, dust yourself off, start all over again,

Start all over again, start all over a-gain.



PLEASE BE KIND

This is my first affair, so please be kind

Handle my heart with care, oh, please be kind

This is all so grand, my dreams are on parade

If you‘ll just understand, they‘ll never, never fade



So tell me your love‘s sincere, oh, please be kind

Tell me I needn‘t fear, oh, please be kind

For if you leave me, dear, I know my heart will lose its mind

If you love me, please be kind.



PLEASE DON‘T TALK ABOUT ME WHEN I‘M GONE

Please don‘t talk about me when I‘m gone,

Oh, Honey, though our friendship ceases from now on,

And listen, if you can‘t say anything real nice,

It‘s better not to talk at all is my advice.

We‘re parting, you go your way, I‘ll go mine, it‘s best that we do

Here‘s a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you

Makes no diff‘rence how I carry on

Remember, please don‘t talk about me when I‘m gone



POISON IVY

She comes up like a rose, but everybody knows

She'll get you in love, you can look but you better not touch

Poison ivy, poison ivy, late at night while you're sleepin, p. ivy comes a'creepin around

She's pretty as a daisy, but look out, man, she's crazy

She'll really do you in, if you let her get under your skin.

Poison ivy, poison ivy, late at night while you're sleepin', p. ivy comes a'creepin around

Measles make you bumpy, and mumps'll make you lumpy

And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch

A common cold will fool ya' and whoopin' cough will cool ya'

But poison ivy's gonna make you itch.

You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion

You'll be scratchin' like a hound the minute you start to mess around

Poison ivy, poison ivy, late at night while you're sleepin, p. ivy comes a'creepin around

Ya da ya da ya da, ya da ya da ya da



POLKA DOTS AND MOONBEAMS

A country dance was being held in a garden.

I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon."

Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams all around a pugnosed dream.

The music started, and was I the perplexed one.

I held my breath and said, "May I have the next one?"

In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams sparkled on a pugnosed dream.

There were questions in the eyes of other dancers, as we floated over the floor.

There were questions but my heart knew all the answers, and perhaps a few things more.

Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter I know the meaning of the words, "Ever after."

And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams when I kiss the pugnosed dream.





PRETEND

Pretend you‘re happy when you‘re blue, it isn‘t very hard to do

And you‘ll find happiness without an end, if only you pretend.

Remember, anyone can dream, and nothing‘s bad as it may seem

The little things you haven‘t got could be a lot if you pretend.

You‘ll find a love you can share, one you can call all your own

Just close your eyes, she‘ll be there, you‘ll never be alone

And if you sing this melody, you‘ll be pretending, just like me

The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend, so why don‘t you pretend.



PRETTY BABY

Everybody loves a baby, that‘s why I‘m in love with you, pretty baby, pretty baby.

And I‘d like to be your sister, brother, dad and mother, too, pretty baby, pretty baby.

Won‘t you come and let me rock you in my cradle of love, and we‘ll cuddle all the time.

Oh, I want a lovin‘ baby and it might as well be you,

Pretty baby of….pretty baby of…..pretty baby of mine.

PUFF (THE MAGIC DRAGON)

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

Oh, Puff (chorus is 1st two lines sung twice)

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail

Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name

CHORUS

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys

Painted wings and giants' rings make way for other toys

One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain

Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane

Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave

So Puff that might dragon sadly slipped into his cave

CHORUS



THE PUPPY SONG

Dreams are nothing more than wishes, and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true

If only I could have a puppy, I'd call myself so very lucky

Just to have some company to share a cup of tea with me

I'd take my puppy everywhere, la la la la I wouldn't care

But we would stay away from crowds with signs that said no dogs allowed

Oh wee - I know he'd never bite me; wee - I know he'd never bite me

If only I could have a friend who'd stick with me until the end

And walk along beside the sea and share a bit of moon with me

I'd take my friend most everywhere, la la la la I wouldn't care

But we would stay away from crowds with signs that said no friends allowed

Oh wee - we'd be so happy to be; wee - we'd be so happy to be...together

But dreams are nothing more than wishes, and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true





PUT ON A HAPPY FACE

Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face

Brush off the clouds and cheer up, put on a happy face

Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, it's not your style

You'll look so good that you'll be glad you decided to smile

Pick out a pleasant outlook, stick out that noble chin.

Wipe off that full of doubt look, slap on a happy grin

And spread sunshine all over the place, just put on a happy face.



PUTTIN‘ ON THE RITZ

Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Avenue

On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air

High Hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars

Spending every dime for a wonderful time



If you‘re blue and you don‘t know where to go to, why don‘t you go where fashion sits?

Puttin‘ on the ritz.

Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits,

Puttin‘ on the ritz.

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper

Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)

Come let‘s mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks or ―umberellas‖ in their mitts,

Puttin‘ on the ritz.

If you‘re blue and you don‘t know where to go to why don‘t you go where fashion sits

Puttin‘ on the ritz (X3)



QUIET NIGHTS OF QUIET STARS

Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar

Floating on the silence that surrounds us.

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams,

And a window looking on the mountains and the sea, how lovely!

This is where I want to be, here with you so close to me

Until the final flicker of life‘s ember.

I, who was lost and lonely, believing life was only

A bitter, tragic joke, have found with you

The meaning of existence, oh, my love..........oh, my love…….oh, my love



RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD

Raindrops keep falling on my head, and just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,

Nothin' seems to fit. Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'. So I just

Did me some talkin' to the sun, and I said I didn't like the way he got things done,

Sleepin' on the job. Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'!

But there's one thing I know, the blues they send to meet me won't defeat me.

It won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me.

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head, but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red.

Cryin's not for me 'cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

Because I'm free, nothin's worryin' me.



RED RIVER VALLEY

From this valley they say you are going

We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

For they say you are taking the sunshine

That has brightened our pathways awhile

Come and sit by my side, if you love me.

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy who loved you so true.

I‘ve been thinking a long time my darling

Of the sweet words you never would say

Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish

For they say you are going away.

CHORUS



RED ROSES FOR A BLUE LADY

I want some red roses for a blue lady

Mr. Florist, take my order, please.

We had a silly quarrel the other day

I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away.

Wrap up some red roses for a blue lady,

Send them to the sweetest gal in town.

And, if they do the trick, I‘ll hurry back to pick

Your best white orchids for her wedding gown.



RHODE ISLAND IS FAMOUS FOR YOU

Copper comes from Arizona, peaches come from Georgia

And lobsters come from Maine

The wheat fields are the sweet fields of Nebraska

And Kansas gets bonanzas from the grain



Old whiskey comes from old Kentucky, ain't the country lucky

New Jersey gives us glue

And you, you come from Rhode Island

And little old Rhode Island is famous for you



Cotton comes from Lousiana, gophers from Mon-tana

And spuds from Idaho

They plow land in the cow land of Missoura

Where most beef meant for roast beef seems to grow

Grand canyons come from Colorada, gold comes from Nevada

Di-vorces also do

And you, you come from Rhode Island

And little old Rhode Island is famous for you



Pencils come from Pennsylvania, vests from Vest Virginia

And Tents from Tentesee

They know mink where they grow mink in Wyomink

A camp chair in New Hampchair that's for me



And minnows come from Minnesota, coats come from Dakota

But why should you be blue?

For you, you come from Rhode Island

Don't let them ride Rhode Island, it's famous for you,

You, you come from Rhode Island, and little ol' Rhode Island is famous for you.





RHYTHM OF THE RAIN

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain

Telling me just what a fool I've been

I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain

And let me be alone again



The only girl I care about has gone away

Looking for a brand new start

But little does she know

That when she left that day

Along with her she took my heart



Rain please tell me now does that seem fair

For her to steal my heart away when she don't care

I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away

Repeat 2nd verse



ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock

Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock

Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.



Put your glad rags on and join me hon', we'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight

We're gonna rock, rock, rock 'til broad daylight

We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

When the clock strikes two and three and four, if the band slows down we'll yell for more

We're gonna rock........

We're gonna rock........

When the clock strikes 12 we'll cool off then, start a rockin' 'round the clock again

We're gonna rock........



ROCKIN‘ AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Rockin‘ around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to stop.

Rockin‘ around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas spirit ring.

Later we‘ll have some punkin pie and we‘ll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing ―Let‘s be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly.‖

Rockin‘ around the Christmas tree have a happy holiday

Everyone dancing merrily in the new old fashioned way.



ROCKING CHAIR

Old rocking chair's got me, my cane by my side,

Fetch me that gin, son, 'fore I tan your hide.

Can't get from this cabin, goin' nowhere

Just set me here grabbin' at the flies 'round this rocking chair



My dear old aunt Harriet, in Heaven she be,

Send me sweet chariot, for the end of the troubles I see

Old rocking chair gets it, judgment day is here

Chained to my rocking chair.



ROCKIN‘ ROBIN

Tweedly-deedly-dee, Tweedly-deedly-dee, Tweedly-deedly-dee, Tweedly-deedly-dee

Tweedly-deedly-dee, Tweedly-deedly-dee, tweet….. tweet…..tweet tweet!



He rocks in the treetop all the day long, hoppin‘ and a-boppin‘ and a-singin‘ his song

All the little birds on Jaybird Street, love to hear the robin go ―Tweet, tweet, tweet.‖

Rockin‘ Robin...Rockin‘ Robin...Blow, Rockin‘ Robin ‗cause we‘re really gonna rock tonight



Every little swallow, every chickadee, every little bird in the tall oak tree

The wise old owl, the big black crow, flap their wings, singin‘ ―Go, bird, go.‖

Rockin‘ Robin...Rockin‘ Robin...Blow, Rockin‘ Robin ‗cause we‘re really gonna rock tonight



A pretty little raven at the bird bandstand, taught him how to do the bop and it was grand

They started goin‘ steady, and bless my soul, he out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole.

Repeat 1st verse. (He rocks in the treetop….)



RUBBER DUCKIE

Rubber duckie, you're the one, you make bath time lots of fun

Rubber duckie, I'm awfully fond of you…..bo do di oh

Rubber duckie, joy of joys, when I squeeze you, you make noise

Rubber duckie, you're my very best friend, it's true

Every day when I make my way to the tubbie

I find a little fellow who's cute and yellow and chubby, rub-a-dub-dubby

Rubber duckie, you're so fine, and I'm lucky that you're mine

Rubber duckie, I'm awfully fond of, Rubber duckie, I'd love a whole pond of

Rubber duckie, I'm awfully fond of you, you, boo, boopie do.



RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names,

They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say:

―Rudolph, with your nose so bright, won‘t you guide my sleigh tonight?‖

Then how the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee:

―Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, you‘ll go down in history.‖



RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

Well I‘d rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man

You‘d better keep your head, little girl, or you won‘t know where I am

You‘d better run for your life if you can, little girl, hide your head in the sand, little girl,

Catch you with another man, that‘s the end-a little girl!

Well you know that I‘m a wicked guy, and I was born with a jealous mind

And I can‘t spend my whole life tryin‘ just to make you toe the line

You‘d better run for your life if you can, little girl, hide your head in the sand, little girl,

Catch you with another man, that‘s the end-a little girl



SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

You better watch out, you better not cry, better not pout, I‘m telling you why:

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He‘s making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out who‘s naughty and nice,

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you‘re sleeping, he knows when you‘re awake,

He knows if you‘re been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.

You better watch out, you better not cry, better not pout, I‘m telling you why:

Santa Claus is coming to town.



SATIN DOLL

Cigarette holder, which wigs me, over her shoulder, she digs me. Out cattin‘, that Satin Doll.

She‘s nobody‘s fool, so I‘m playin‘ it cool as can be

I‘ll give it a whirl, but I ain‘t for no girl catchin‘ me….Switcherooney!

Telephone numbers, well you know, doin‘ my rhumbas with uno, And that‘n, my Satin Doll.



SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME

You can dance every dance with the guy who gave you the eye; let him hold you tight

You can smile every smile for the man who held your hand ‗neath the pale moonlight

But don‘t forget who‘s taking you home and in whose arms you‘re gonna be

So darlin‘ save the last dance for me.

Oh I know that the music is fine, like sparkling wine; go and have your fun

Laugh and sing, but while we‘re apart don‘t give your heart to anyone

But don‘t forget who‘s taking you home and in whose arms you‘re gonna be

So darlin‘ save the last dance for me.

Baby, don‘t you know I love you so? Can‘t you feel it when we touch?

I will never, never let you go. I love you, oh, so much.



You can dance, go and carry on till the night is gone and it‘s time to go

If he asks if you‘re all alone, ccan he take you home, you must tell him no.

‗Cause don‘t forget who‘s taking you home and in whose arms you‘re gonna be

So, darlin‘, save the last dance for me. So, darlin‘, save the last dance for me.

So, darlin‘, save the last dance for me.



SCOTCH AND SODA

Scotch and soda, mud in your eye, baby do I feel high, oh me oh my, do I feel high

Dry martini, jigger of gin, oh, what a spell you've got me in, oh my, do I feel high

People won't believe me, they'll think that I'm just braggin'

But I could feel the way I do and still be on the wagon.



All I need is one of your smiles, sunshine of your eyes, oh me, oh my,

Do I feel higher than a kite can fly! Give me lovin', baby I feel high.







SECRET LOVE

Once I had a secret love that lived within the heart of me

All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free

So I told a friendly star the way that dreamers often do

Just how wonderful you are and why I‘m so in love with you

Now I shout it from the highest hills

Even told the golden daffodils.

At last my heart‘s an open door

And my secret love‘s no secret any more



SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY

Gonna take a Sentimental Journey, gonna set my heart at ease.

Gonna take a Sentimental Journey, to renew old memories.

Got my bag, I got my reservation, spent each dime I could afford.

Like a child in wild anticipation, long to hear that ―all aboard.‖

Seven, that‘s the time we leave at seven, I‘ll be waiting up for heaven

Counting every mile of railroad track that takes me back.

Never thought my heart could be so yearny, why did I decide to roam?

Gonna take a Sentimental Journey, Sentimental Journey home.



THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE

One day we walked along the sand, one day in early spring.

You held a piper in your hand to mend its broken wing

Now I'll remember many a day and many a lonely mile

The echo of a piper's song, the shadow of a smile.

The shadow of your smile when you are gone

Will color all my dreams and light the dawn

Look into my eyes, my love, and see

All the lovely things you are to me



Our wistful little star was far too high

A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I

Now when I remember spring, all the joy that love can bring

I will be remembering the shadow of your smile

Now when I remember spring, all the joy that love can bring

I will be remembering the shadow of your smile



SHE'LL BE COMIN' 'ROUND THE MOUNTAIN

She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes

She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes

She'll be comin' 'round the mountain, she'll be comin' 'round the mountain,

She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes.



She'll be ridin' six white horses when she comes (etc.)



She'll be wearin' pink pajamas when she comes (etc.)



Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes (repeat)

Oh, we'll all go out to meet her, and we'll all be glad to see her,

Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes.



Oh, we'll kill the old red rooster, 'cause he don't crow like he useter.



Oh, we'll all have chicken and dumplins, 'cause we all have chickens to dump in.



SHINE ON HARVEST MOON

Shine on, shine on harvest moon, up in the sky.

I ain‘t had no lovin‘ since January, February, June or July.

Snow time ain‘t no time to stay out-doors and spoon,

So shine on, shine on harvest moon, for me and my gal.



SHINE ON YOUR SHOES

When you feel as low as the bottom of a well and can‘t get out of the mood

Do something to perk yourself up, change your attitude.

Give a tug to your tie, put a crease in your pants, but if you really want to feet fine,

Give your shoes a shine.



When there‘s a shine on your shoes, there‘s a melody in your heart.

With a singable happy feelin‘, a wonderful way to start.

To face the world every day with a dee-dle dum dee da da

A little melody that is makin‘ the worryin‘ world go by

When you walk down the street, with a happy go lucky beat,

You‘ll find a lot of what I‘ll repeat.

When there‘s a shine on your shoes and a melody in your heart

What a wonderful way to start the day.



SIDE BY SIDE

Oh, we ain‘t got a barrel of money, maybe we‘re ragged and funny,

But we‘ll travel along, singin‘ a song, side by side.

Oh, we don‘t know what‘s comin‘ tomorrow, maybe it‘s trouble and sorrow,

But we‘ll travel the road, sharin‘ our load, side by side.

Through all kinds of weather, what if the sky should fall?

Just as long as we‘re together, it doesn‘t matter at all.

When they‘ve all had their quarrels and parted, we‘ll be the same as we started,

Just travellin‘ along, singin‘ a song, side….. by… side.



SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright,

Round yon virgin mother and child, holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight,

Glories stream from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing Alleluia;

Christ the Savior is born! Christ the Savior is born!



SILHOUETTES

Took a walk and passed your house late last night,

All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight

From within a dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade,

Oh, what a lovely couple they made

Put his arms around your waist, held you tight,

Kisses I could almost taste in the night

Wondered why I'm not the guy whose silhouette's on the shade

I couldn't hide the tears in my eyes.

Silhouettes X6 Silhouettes X6

Lost control and rang your bell, I was sore

"Let me in or else I'll beat down your door."

When two strangers, who had been two silhouettes on the shade

Said to my shock, "You're on the wrong block."

Rushed down to your house with wings on my feet

Loved you like I've never loved you my sweet

Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade

All of our days, two silhouettes on the shade.

"Silhouettes"







SILVER BELLS

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style,

In the air there‘s a feeling of Christmas.

Childrn laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile,

And on ev‘ry street corner you hear:

Silver bells, silver bells, it‘s Christmas time in the city.

Ringaling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

Strings of street lights, even stop lights, blink a bright red and green,

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, this is Santa‘s big scene,

And above all this bustle you hear:

Silver bells, silver bells, it‘s Christmas time in the city.

Ringaling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.



SING HALLELUJAH

I know we got a long, long journey well, sing hallelujah

We better get started early, well, sing hallelujah

Sing out for the Lord to help you for the Lord is mighty strong

Don‘t worry ‗bout your heavy load, the Lord‘s gonna help you along

Last night I heard my Lord callin‘ well, sing hallelujah



You sure better quit your stallin‘ well, sing hallelujah

Sing out for the Lord to help you for the Lord is mighty strong

Don‘t worry ‗bout your heavy load, the Lord‘s gonna help you along

I don‘t know but I‘ve been told well, sing hallelujah

If you sing and clap you can save your soul, well, sing hallelujah

Sing out for the Lord to help you for the Lord is mighty strong

Don‘t worry ‗bout your heavy load, the Lord‘s gonna help you along

Don‘t worry ‗bout your heavy load, the Lord‘s gonna, Lord's gonna help you along!



SINGING THE BLUES

Well, I never felt more like singing the blues,

‗Cause I never thought that I‘d ever lose your love, dear,

Why‘d you do me this way



Well, I never felt more like crying all night

‗Cause everythin‘s wrong, and nothin‘ ain‘t right without you,

You got me singing the blues

The moon and stars no longer shine, the dream is gone I thought was mine

There‘s nothing left for me to do but cry-y-y-y over you

Well, I never felt more like running away,

But why should I go ‗cause I couldn‘t stay without you, you got me singing the blues.



SINGLE SADDLE

Gee, but I get a tingle, riding clippity clop atop my single saddle

Women, they try to tempt me, but the minute the pantry's empty, I ske-daddle, single saddle

Leading my horse to water, with a clippity clop I meet a neighbor's daughter

Some of them talk so flowery, but the minute they show their dowry, I'm a-straddle, single saddle

Ain't a filly been born, be she rose or a thorn, gonna keep me from the lone prairie.

When they're 'roundin' up strays, all they ever get are neighs from my palomino pal and me

Oh, when they get out a halter for a-hitchin' me to the altar I ske-daddle, I'm a-straddle

With a clippity clop, I hop atop my sin......gle saddle.



SISTERS, SISTERS

Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters

Never had to have a chaperone "No sir," I'm there to keep an eye on her

Caring, sharing, every little thing that we are wearing

When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome, she wore the dress and I stayed home

All kinds of weather, we stick together, the same in the rain and sun

Two different faces, but in tight places, we think and we act as one

Those who've seen us know that not a thing could come between us

Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can

Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister.

And Lord help the sister who comes between me and my man



SIXTEEN GOING ON SEVENTEEN

You are sixteen, going on seventeen, baby, it‘s time to think

Better beware, be canny and careful, baby, you‘re on the brink

You are sixteen, going on seventeen , fellows will fall in line

Eager young lads and roués and cads will offer you food and wine

Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared are you of things beyond your ken

You need someone older and wiser telling you what to do

I am seventeen, going on eighteen, I‘ll take care of you.



SIXTEEN TONS

Some people say a man is made out of mud, a poor man‘s made out of muscle and blood

Muscle and blood and skin and bones, a mind that‘s weak and a back that‘s strong

You load sixteen tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt

St. Peter, don‘t you call me ‗cause I can‘t go. I owe my soul to the company‘s store.

I was born one morning when the sun didn‘t shine, I picked up my shovel and walked to the mine

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, and the straw boss said, ―Well, bless my soul!‖

You load sixteen tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt

St. Peter, don‘t you call me ‗cause I can‘t go. I owe my soul to the company‘s store.

I was born one morning, it was drizzlin‘ rain, fightin‘ and trouble are my middle name

I was raised in the canebreak by an ol‘ mama lion, ain‘t no hi-toned woman make me walk the line.

You load sixteen tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt

St. Peter, don‘t you call me ‗cause I can‘t go. I owe my soul to the company‘s store.

If you see me comin‘ better step aside, a lot of men didn‘t and a lot of men died

One fist of iron and the other of steel, if the right one doesn‘t get you then the left one will.

You load sixteen tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt

St. Peter, don‘t you call me ‗cause I can‘t go. I owe my soul to the company‘s store.



SKINNAMARINK

Skinnamarinkydinkydink. Skinnamarinkydoo. I - Love - You!

Skinnamarinkydinkydink. Skinnamarinkydoo. I - Love - You!

I love you in the morning and in the afternoon.

I love you in the evening, underneath the moon.

Oh, Skinnamarinkydinkydink. Skinnamarinkydoo

I - Love - You! (I love your singing!)

I - Love – You (You‘re all ter-rific!)

I - Love – You (We‘ll dig you next time!)

I ----- Love ------ You….You….(Boop, boop, ee-doo)



SLEIGH RIDE

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, rin-ting-tingle-ing too.

Come on, it‘s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling ―Yoo-hoo.‖

Come on, it‘s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let‘s go, let‘s look at the show.

We‘re riding in a wonderland of snow.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it‘s grand, just holding your hand.

We‘re gliding along with a song of a wintery fairy land.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy, and comfy cozy are we.

We‘re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be.

Let‘s take that road before us and sing a chorus or two.

Come on, it‘s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together (X3) with you.



SLOOP JOHN B

We come on the sloop John B, my grandfather and me

‘Round Nassau town we did roam

Drinking all night, got into a fight

Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sails, see how the mainsail sets

Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home,

Let me go home, I wanna go home

Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk, and broke in the Cap'n's trunk

The constable had to come and take him away

Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone

Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home



The poor cook he caught the fits, and threw away all my grits

And then he took and he ate up all of my corn

Let me go home, why don't they let me go home

This is the worst trip I've ever been on

So hoist up the John B's sails, see how the mainsail sets

Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home,

Let me go home, I wanna go home

Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home X3



SMILE

Smile, tho‘ your heart is aching, smile, even tho‘ it‘s breaking

When there are clouds in the sky, you‘ll get by, if you

Smile through your fear and sorrow, smile, and maybe tomorrow

You‘ll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness, hide every trace of sadness

Altho‘ a tear may be ever so near, that‘s the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what‘s the use of crying,

You‘ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you‘ll just smile.



SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES

They asked me how I knew my true love was true

I of course replied "something here inside cannot be denied"

They said "someday you'll find all who love are blind"

When your heart's on fire, you must realize smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed to think they could doubt my love

Yet today my love has flown away, I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say "when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes"



SOME FUN OUT OF LIFE

When we want to love, we love, when we want to kiss, we kiss

With a little petting, we're getting some fun out of life

When we want to work, we work, when we want to play, we play

In a happy setting, we're getting some fun out of life

Maybe we do the right things, maybe we do the wrong

Spending each day, wending our way along

But when we want to sing, we sing, when we want to dance, we dance

You can do your betting, we're getting some fun out of life

You can do your betting, we're getting some fun out of life



SOMETIMES I‘M HAPPY

Sometimes I‘m happy, sometimes I‘m blue, my disposition depends on you

I never mind the rain from the skies, if I can find the sun in your eyes.

Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you, but when I hate you, it‘s cause I love you.

That‘s how I am, so what can I do? I‘m happy when I‘m with you.



THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

Oh say can you see by the dawn‘s early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight‘s last gleaming

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight

O‘er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming

And the rocket‘s red glare, the bombs bursting in air

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave

O‘er the land of the free and the home of the brave.



STARS FELL ON ALABAMA

We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white

And stars fell on Alabama last night

I can't forget the glamour, your eyes held a tender light

And stars fell on Alabama last night

I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly

A fairy land where no one else could enter, and in the center just you and me

My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight

And stars fell on Alabama last night



STOMPIN‘ AT THE SAVOY

Savoy, the home of sweet romance; Savoy, it wins you with a glance

Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance

Your form, just like a clingin‘ vine, your lips, so warm and sweet as wine

Your cheek, so soft and close to mine, divine.

How my heart is singin‘ while the band is swingin‘

Never tired of rompin‘ and stompin‘ with you at the Savoy

What joy! A perfect holiday! Savoy, where we can glide and sway

Savoy, there let me stomp away with you.



STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air

The monkey thought that everything was on the square

The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back

But the monkey grabbed his neck and said now listen, Jack

Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa don‘t you blow your top

Ain‘t no use in diving, what‘s the use of jiving

Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa don‘t you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey you are choking me

Release your hold and I will set you free

The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye

And said your story‘s so touching, but it‘s sounds just like a lie

Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa don‘t you blow your top

Ain‘t no use in diving, what‘s the use of jiving

Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa don‘t you blow your



STUMBLING

Verse 1: 'Tention folks, speak of jokes, this is one on me,

Took my gal to a dance, at the Armory,

Music played, dancer swayed, then we joined the crowd;

I can't dance, took a chance, and right then we started:

Stumbling all around, stumbling all around, stumbling all around so funny,

Stumbling here and there, stumbling everywhere, and I must declare,

I stepped right on her toes, and when she bumped my nose,

I fell and when I rose, I felt a-shamed, and told her,

That's the latest step, that's the latest step, that's the latest step, my honey

Notice all the pep, notice all the pep, notice all the pep;

She said, "Stop mumbling, tho' you are stumbling,

I like it just a little bit, just a little bit, quite a little bit.

Verse 2: Young and small short and tall, folks most ev'rywhere,

Take a chance do this dance, they think it's a bear,

People rave, and they crave, just to do this step,

Off they go, nice and slow, when the band starts playing....(Stumbling....)



SUGARTIME

Sugar in the mornin‘, sugar in the evenin‘, sugar at supper time.

Be my little sugar and love me all the time.

Honey in the mornin‘, honey in the evenin‘, honey at supper time.

Be my little honey and love me all the time.

Put your arms around me and swear by the stars above

You‘ll be mine forever in a heaven of love.

Sugar in the mornin‘, sugar in the evenin‘, sugar at supper time.

Be my little sugar and love me all the time.

Now sugar time is anytime, that your near, or just appear.

So don‘t you roam, just be my honeycomb, we‘ll live in a heaven on love.

Sugar in the mornin‘…….



SUMMER SAMBA

Someone to hold me tight, that would be very nice.

Someone to love me right, that would be very nice

Someone to understand each little dream in me.

Someone to take my hand, to be a team with me

So nice, life would be so nice if one day I'd find

Someone who would take my hand and samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me, stay with me right or wrong,

Someone to sing to me some little samba song

Someone to take my heart, then give her heart to me

Someone who's ready to give love a start with me

Oh yes, that would be so nice. Should it be you and me, I could see it would be nice.



THE SUMMER WIND

The summer wind came blowin‘ in from across the sea

It lingered there, so warm and fair, to walk with me

All summer long, we sang a song and strolled on golden sand

Two sweethearts and, and the summer wind



Like painted kites those days and nights went flyin‘ by

The world was new, beneath a blue umbrella sky

Then softer than a piper man one day it called to you

And I lost you to…..to the summerwind



The autumn wind and the winter wind have come and gone

And still the days, those lonely days go on and on

And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end

My fickle friend, the summer wind X3



SUNDAY KIND OF LOVE

I want a Sunday kind of love, a love to last past Saturday night

I‘d like to know it‘s more than love at first sight, I want a Sunday kind of love



I want a love that‘s on the square, can‘t seem to find somebody to care

I‘m on a lonely road that leads me nowhere, I need a Sunday kind of love

I do my Sunday dreaming and all my Sunday scheming every minute, every hour, every day.

I‘m hoping to discover a certain kind of lover, who will show me the way.

My arms need someone to enfold, to keep me warm when Mondays are cold.

A love for all my life to have and to hold. I want a Sunday kind of love.



SUNRISE, SUNSET

Is this the little girl I carried, is this the little boy at play

I don‘t remember growing older, when did they?

When did she get to be a beauty, when did he grow to be so tall

Wasn‘t it yesterday when they were small?



Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the days

Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers, blossoming even as we gaze

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, swiftly flow the years

One season following another, laden with happiness and tears.



What words of wisdom can I give them, how can I help to ease their way

Now they must learn from one another, day by day

They look so natural together, just like two newlyweds should be

Is there a canopy in store for me…. CHORUS



SWAY

When marimba rhythm starts to play, dance with me, make me sway

Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore, hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze, bend with me, sway with me

When you dance you have a way with me, stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor, dear, but my eyes will see only you

Only you have that magic technique, when we sway I go weak

I can hear the sound of violins, long before it begins

Make me thrill as well as you know how sway me smooth, sway me now.



SWEET BABY JAMES

There is a young cowboy who lives on the range. His horse and his cattle are his only companions

He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons, waiting for summer, his pastures to change

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, thinking about women and bottles of beer

An closing his eyes as the doggies retire, he sings out a song which is soft but it‘s clear

As if maybe someone could hear

Goodnight, you moonlight ladies, rockabye Sweet Baby James

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won‘t you let me go down in my dreams

And rockabye Sweet Baby James.

Now the first of December was covered with snow, and so was the Turnpike from Stockbridge to

Boston.

Lord, the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting

With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go

There‘s a song that they sing when they take to the highway,

A song that they sing when they take to the sea

A song that they sing of their home in the sky; maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep

But singing works just fine for me…. CHORUS.



SWEET GEORGIA BROWN

No gal made has got a shade on sweet Georgia Brown

Two left feet and oh, so neat is sweet Georgia Brown

They all sigh and want to die for sweet Georgia Brown

I‘ll tell you just why, you know I don‘t lie, not much

It‘s been said she knocks ‗em dead when she lands in town

Since she came, why it‘s a shame how she cools them down

Fellas she can‘t get are fellas she ain‘t met

Georgia claimed her Georgia named her, sweet Georgia Brown. (repeat 1st four lines)

All those gifts those courters give to sweet Georgia Brown

They buy clothes at fashion shows with one dollar down

Oh, boy, tip your hat. Oh, joy, she‘s the cat

Who‘s that, Mister, ‗tain‘t a sister, sweet Georgia Brown

Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, sweet Georgia Brown!





SWEET HAPPY LIFE

My wish for you, sweet happy life

May all the days of the year that you live be laughing days

With all my heart, sweet happy life

And may the night times that follow the day be dancing nights

Stars for your smile, moons for your hair

And someone's wonderful love for your loving heart to share

My wish for you, sweet happy life

May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing

And if a wish can make it be

I wish you spend everyday of your happy life with me

Stars for your smile, moons for you hair

And someone's wonderful love for your loving heart to share

Repeat 2nd verse





SWINGING ON A STAR

Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar?

And be better off than you are? Or would you rather be a mule?

A mule is an animal with long funny ears, kicks up at anything he hears.

His back is brawny but his brain is weak, he's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak.

And by the way, if you hate to go to school, you may grow up to be a mule.

Or would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar?

And be better off than you are? Or would you rather be a pig?

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face; his shoes are a terrible disgrace.

He has no manners when he eats his food, he's fat and lazy and extremely rude;

But if you don't care a feather or a fig, you may grow up to be a pig.

Or would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar?

And be better off than you are? Or would you rather be a fish?

A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook; he can't write his name or read a book.

To fool the people is his only thought, and though he's slippery, he still gets caught;

But then if that sort of life is what you wish, you may grow up to be a fish.

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo; every day you meet quite a few.

So you see it's all up to you --You can be better than you are, you..could..be..swing..n'..on..a..star,



SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT

Swing low, sweet chari-ot, comin‘ for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chari-ot, comin‘ for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see, comin‘ for to carry me home?

A band of angels, comin‘ after me, comin‘ for to carry me home.

CHORUS

If you get there be-fore I do, comin for to carry me home,

Tell all my friends I‘m a‘comin‘ too, comin‘ for to carry me home.

CHORUS



TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growin‘ like a breeze

Country roads, take me home to the place I be-long:

West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads

All my memories, gather ‗round her, miner‘s lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home to the place I be-long:

West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads

I hear her voice, in the mornin‘ hours she calls me, radio re-minds me of my home far away

Drivin‘ down the road I get a feelin‘ that I should have been home yesterday, yester-day

Country roads, take me home to the place I be-long:

West Vir-ginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads… take me home, country roads



TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME

Take me out to the ballgame, take me out with the crowd.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I don‘t care if I never get back, and it‘s

Root, root, root for the hometeam, if they don‘t win it‘s a shame.

For it‘s one, two, three strikes you‘re out at the old ball-game.



TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE

Here I go again, I hear those trumpets blow again

All aglow again, taking a chance on love

Here I slide again, about to take that ride again

I'm starry eyed again, taking a chance on love

I thought the cards were a frame-up I would never try

But now I'm taking the game up and the ace of hearts is high

All things are mending now, I see a rainbow blending now

We'll have a happy ending now, taking a chance on love.

Here I slip again, about to take that trip again

Got my grip again, taking a chance on love

Now I prove again, that I can make a move again

In the groove again, taking a chance on love

I walk around with a horseshoe, in clover I lie

And, brother rabbit, of course you better kiss your foot good-bye

On the ball again, I'm riding for a fall again

I'm gonna give my all again, taking a chance, taking a chance,

Taking.....a....chance...on...love.

TEACH ME TONIGHT

Did you say, ―I‘ve got a lot to learn?‖ Well, don‘t think I‘m trying not to learn

Since this is the perfect spot to learn, teach me tonight.

Starting with the ―A, B, C‖ of it, right down to the ―X, Y, Z‖ of it.

Help me solve this mystery of it, teach me tonight.

The sky‘s a blackboard high above you, if a shooting star goes by

I‘ll use that star to write I love you, a thousand times across the sky.

One thing isn‘t very clear, my love, should the teacher stand so near, my love,

Graduation‘s almost here, my love, teach me tonight.



TEA FOR TWO

Picture you upon my knee just tea for two and two for tea

Just me for you and you for me a-lone

Nobody near us to see us or hear us

No friends or relations on week-end vacations

We won‘t have it known, dear, that we own a telephone, dear

Day will break and you‘ll awake and start to bake a sugar cake

For me to take for all the boys to see.

We will raise a family, a boy for you, a girl for me.

Oh can‘t you see how happy we will be.



TEDDY BEARS' PICNIC

If you go out in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise

If you go out in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise

For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain because

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Every teddy bear who's been good is sure of a treat today

There're lots of marvelous things to eat and wonderful games to play

Beneath the trees, where nobody sees, they'll hide and seek as long as they please

That's the way the teddy bears have their picnic

Picnic time for teddy bears, the little teddy bears are having a lovely time today

Watch them, catch them unawares, and see them picnic on their holiday

See them gaily dance about, they love to play and shout and never have any cares

At six o'clock their mommies and daddies will take them home to bed

Because they're tired little teddy bears.



If you go out in the woods today, you'd better not be alone

It's lovely out in the woods today, but safer to stay at home

For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain because

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.



A TEENAGER IN LOVE

Each time we have a quarrel, it almost breaks my heart

'Cause I am so afraid that we will have to part

Each night I ask the stars up above, why must I be a teenager in love?

One day I feel so happy, next day I feel so sad

I guess I'll learn to take the good with the bad

Each night I ask the stars up above, why must I be a teenager in love?

I cried a tear for nobody but you, I'll be a lonely one if you should say we're through

If you want to make me cry, that won't be so hard to do

And if you should say goodbye, I'll still go on loving you

Each night I ask the stars up above, why must I be a teenager in love?

TENDERLY

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly

The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.

Then you and I came wandering by and lost in a sigh were we.

The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly,

I can‘t forget how two hearts met breathlessly.

Your arms opened wide and closed me inside;

You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.



TENNESSEE WALTZ

I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz when an old friend I happened to see.

I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin' my friend stole my sweetheart from me.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz 'cause I know just how much I have lost

Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin' that beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltze could have broken my heart so complete

Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin' in love with my darlin' so sweet

Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz wish I'd known just how much it would cost

But I didn't see it commin', it's all over but the cryin' blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz



THAT‘LL BE THE DAY

Well, you give me all your lovin‘ and your turtle dovin‘

All your hugs and kisses and your money too

Well, you know you love me, baby until you tell me, maybe

That some day, well, I‘ll be through!

Well, that‘ll be the day, when you say goodbye, yes

That‘ll be the day, when YOU MAKE ME CRY,

You say you‘re gonna leave, you know it‘s a lie ‗cause

That‘ll be the day, when I die.

When Cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart

So if we ever part and I leave you

You say you told me an‘ you told me boldly,

That some day, well, I‘ll be through.



THAT LONESOME ROAD

Look down, look down that lonesome road, before you travel on

Look up, look up and seek your maker, before Gabriel blows his horn.

I‘m weary totin‘ such a load, trudgin‘ down that lonesome road

Look down, look down that lonesome road, before you travel on,

True love, true love, what have I done, that you should treat me so?

You caused me to walk and talk, like I never did before.



THAT‘S ALL

I can only give you love that lasts forever, and the promise to be near each time you call

And the only heart I own, for you and you alone, that‘s all, that‘s all

I can only give you country walks in springtime, and a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall

And a love whose burning light, will warm the winter night, that‘s all, that‘s all

There are those I am sure who have told you they would give you the world for a toy

All I have are these arms to enfold you and a love time can never destroy

If you‘re wondering what I‘m asking in return dear,

You‘ll be glad to know that my demands are small

Say it‘s me that you‘ll adore for now and evermore, that‘s all,

That‘s all, that‘s all, that‘s all.

THAT‘S AMORE

When the moon hits your eye like a-big a-pizza pie, that‘s amore

When the world seems to shine like you‘ve had too much wine, that‘s amore

Bells will ring, ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling, and you‘ll sing ―veeta bella.‖

Hearts will play, tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay like a gay tarantella.

When the stars make you drool just like pasta fazool, that‘s amore

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet, you‘re in love

When you walk in a dream but you know you‘re not dreaming, signore,

Scuza me, but you see, back in old Napoli, that‘s amore



THAT‘S AN IRISH LULLABY

Over in Killarney, many years a-go

Me mother sang a song to me in tones so sweet and low

Just a simple little ditty in her good ‗ould‘ Irish way

And I‘d give the world if she could sing that song to me to-day…..

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo--ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush, now, don‘t you cry.

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that‘s an Irish lullaby.

Oft in dreams I wander to that cot again,

I feel her arms a-huggin' me as when she held me then.

And I hear her voice a-hummin' to me as in days of yore,

When she used to rock me fast asleep outside the cabin door.



THERE IS A TAVERN IN THE TOWN

There is a tavern in the town, in the town

And there my true love sits him down, sits him down

And drinks his wine as merry as can be

And never, never thinks of me.

CHORUS:

Fare thee well, for I must leave thee, do not let this parting grieve thee

And remember that the best of friends must part, must part.

Adieu, adieu kind friends, adieu (yes adieu)

I can no longer stay with you, stay with you

I‘ll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree, and may the world go well with thee.

He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark

Each Friday night they used to spark, used to spark,

And now my love once true to me, takes that dark damsel on his knee.

CHORUS

Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep, wide and deep.

Put tombstones at my head and feet, head and feet.

And on my breast carve a turtle dove, to signify I died of love

CHORUS



THERE‘LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE

There‘ll be a change in the weather and a change in the sea

From now on there‘ll be a change in me;

My walk will be different, my talk and my name. Nothin‘ about me‘s gonna be the same

I‘m gonna change my way of livin‘ and if that ain‘t enough

I‘m gonna change the way I strut my stuff.

Nobody wants you when you‘re old and gray

There‘ll be some changes made today, there‘ll be some changes made.

THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS

The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk

Are secretly unhappy men because

The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk

Get paid for what they do but no applause.

They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye for anything theatrical, and why?



There's no business like show business like no business I know

Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow

Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow

There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low

Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold

Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on with the show



There's no business like show business like no business I know

You get word before the show has started that your favorite uncle died at dawn

Top of that, your pa and ma have parted, you're broken-hearted, but you go on

There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low

Yesterday they told you you would not go far, that night you open and there you are

Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star, let's go on with the show!



THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER YOU

There will be many other nights like this,

And I'll be standing here with someone new.

There will be other songs to sing, another fall...another spring...

But there will never be another you.

There will be other lips that I may kiss,

But they won't thrill me like yours used to do.

Yes, I may dream a million dreams, but how can they come true,

If there will never, ever be another you?



THESE FOOLISH THINGS

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces, an airline ticket to romantic places,

And still my heart has wings. These foolish things remind me of you.



A tinkling piano in the next apartment, those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant

A fairground's painted swings. These foolish things remind me of you.

You came, you saw, you conquered me. When you did that to me,

I knew somehow this had to be.

The winds of March that make my heart a dancer, a telephone that rings but who's to answer?

Oh, how the ghost of you clings. These foolish things remind me of you.



THEY CALL THE WIND MARIAH

Away out here they've got a name for rain and wind and fire.

The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe, and they call the wind Mariah.

Mariah blows the stars around and sends the clouds a-flyin'.

Mariah makes the mountains sound like folks were up there dyin'.

Mariah, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah.

Before I knew Maria's name and heard her wail and whinin',

I had a girl and she had me and the sun was always shinin'.

But then one day I left my girl. I left her far behind me

And now I'm lost, so gol' durn lost, not even God can find me.

Mariah, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah.

Out here they got a name for rain, for wind and fire only.

But when you're lost and all alone, there ain't no word but lonely.

And I'm a lost and lonely man without a star to guide me.

Maria blow my love to me. I need my girl beside me.

Mariah, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah. Mariah, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah.



THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME

The way you wear your hat, the way you sip your tea

The memory of all that, no, no they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams, the way you sing off key

The way you haunt my dreams, no, no they can't take that away from me.

We may never, never meet again on the bumpy road to love

But I'll always, always keep the memory of...

The way you hold your knife, they way we danced till three

The way you changed my life, no, no they can't take that away from me.



THINGS WE SAID TODAY

You say you will love me if I have to go,

You‘ll be thinking of me, somehow I will know,

Someday when I‘m lonely, wishing you weren‘t so far away,

Then I will remember things we said today.

You say you will be mine, girl, till the end of time,

These days such a kind girl seems so hard to find,

Someday when we‘re dreaming, deep in love, not a lot to say,

Then I will remember things we said today.

Me I‘m just a lucky kind, love to hear you say that love is love,

And though we may be blind, love is hear to stay.

And that‘s enough to make you mine girl, me the only one,

Love me all the time girl, we‘ll go on and on,

Someday when we‘re dreaming, deep in love, not a lot to say,

Then I will remember things we said today.



THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

This land is your land, this land is my land, from California to the New York island,

From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream wa-ters, this land was made for you and me.



As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway

I saw below me that golden val-ley, this land was made for you and me.



I‘ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps, to the sparkling sand of her diamond deserts

And all around me a voice was sounding, this land was made for you and me.



This land is your land, this land is my land, from California to the New York island,

From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream wa-ters, this land was made for you and me.



THIS MASQUERADE

Are we really happy in this lonely game we play? Looking for words to say.

Searching but not finding understanding anyway, we're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away from being close together from the start

We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way. We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes, no matter how hard I try

To understand the reason that we carry on this way. We're lost in this masquerade.



THOSE LAZY-HAZY-CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, those days of soda and pretzels and beer

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies then lock the house up now you‘re set

And on the beach you‘ll see the girls in their bikinis, as cute as ever but they never get them wet

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, those days of soda and pretzels and beer

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, you‘ll wish that summer could always be here

Don‘t have to tell a girl and feller ‗bout a drive in or some romantic movie scene

Why from the moment that those lovers start arrivin‘

You‘ll see more kissing in the cars than on the screen

(2nd ―Roll out…)



THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Once upon a time there was a tavern where we used to raise a glass or two

Remember how we laughed away the hours and dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend, we thought they‘d never end

We‘d sing and dance forever and a day

We‘d live the life we‘d choose, we‘d fight and never lose,

For we were young and sure to have our way.

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai

Then the busy years went rushing by us, we lost our starry notions on the way

If by chance I‘d see you in the tavern, we‘d smile at one another and we‘d say

Refrain

Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name

Oh, my friends, we‘re older but no wiser, for in our hearts the dreams are still the same

Refrain



THREE LITTLE WORDS

Three little words, oh, what I‘d give for that wonderful phrase

To hear those three little words, that‘s all I‘d live for the rest of my days

And what I feel in my heart they tell sincerely,

No other words can tell it half so clearly.

Three little words, eight little letters which simply mean I love you.



TILL THERE WAS YOU

There were bells on the hill, but I never heard them ringing

No, I never heard them at all Till There Was You

There were birds in the sky but I never saw them winging

No, I never saw them at all Till There Was You

And there was music and there were wonderful roses, they tell me

In sweet fragrant meadows of dawn, and dew,

There was love all around, but I never heard it singing,

No, I never heard it at all Till There Was You.



TIME AFTER TIME

Time after time, I tell myself that I'm so lucky to be loving you.

So lucky to be the one you run to see, in the evening when the day is through

I only know what I know, the passing years will show you've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm so lucky to be loving you.

TINY BUBBLES

Tiny bubbles in the wine

Make me happy, make me feel fine

Tiny bubbles make me warm all over

With a feelin‘ that I‘m gonna love you till the end of time



So, here‘s to that golden moon and here‘s to the silver sea

And mostly here‘s a toast to you and me. (―Tiny bubbles‖)



So, here‘s to that ginger lei I give to you today

And here‘s a kiss that will not fade away. (―Tiny bubbles‖)



TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS

Tiptoe to the window, by the window that is where I‘ll be

Come tiptoe through the tulips with me

Tiptoe from your pillow to the shadow of a willow tree

Come tiptoe through the tulips with me.

Knee deep in flowers we‘ll stray

We‘ll keep the showers away, and if I

Kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight, will you pardon me?

Come tiptoe through the tulips with me.



TODAY WHILE THE BLOSSOMS STILL CLING TO THE VINE

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,

I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine;

A million tomorrows shall all pass away

Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today.

I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover,

You'll know who I am by the song that I sing.

I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover,

Who cares what tomorrow may bring.

Chorus

I can't be contented with yesterday's glories,

I can't live on promises winter to spring.

Today is my moment and now is my story --

I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.

Chorus



TONIGHT YOU BELONG TO ME

I know (I know) you belong to somebody new, but tonight you belong to me.

Although (although) we‘re apart, you‘re part of my heart, and tonight you belong to me.

Way down (way down) by the stream, how very very sweet it will seem

Once more just to dream by the silvery moonlight, my honey

I know (I know) with the dawn that you will be gone

But tonight you belong to me.



TOO MARVELOUS

You‘re just too marvelous, too marvelous for words,

Like ―glorious,‖ ―glamorous,‖ and that old standby ―amorous.‖

You‘re just too wonderful, I‘ll never find the words

That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren‘t swell enough.

You‘re much ―too much‖ and just too ―very, very‖

To ever be in Webster‘s Dictionary.

And so I‘m borrowing a love song from the birds

To tell you that you‘re marvelous, too marvelous for words

To tell you that you‘re marvelous, too marvelous for words

To tell you that you‘re marvelous, too marvelous for all those words.



TOO MUCH

Honey, I love you too much, eed your lovin' too much

Want the thrill of your touch. Gee, I can't hold you too much

You do all the livin' while I do all the givin'

Cause I love you too much

You spend all my money too much, have to share you honey, too much

When I want some lovin', you're gone. Don't you know you're treatin' me wrong

Now you got me started, don't you leave me broken hearted

Cause I love you too much

Ev'ry time I kiss your sweet lips, I can feel my heart go flip flip

I'm such a fool for your charms, take me back baby in your arms

Like to hear you sighin', even though I know you're lyin'

Cause I love you too much

Need your lovin' all the time. Need you huggin', please be mine

Need you near me, stay real close. Please, please, hear me, you're the most

Now you got me started, don't you leave me broken hearted

Cause I love you too much



TRAVELIN' MAN

I'm a travelin' man, I've made a lot of stops all over the world

And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl

I've a pretty seniorita waiting for me down in old Mexico

If you're ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little eskimo

Oh, my sweet fraulein down in Berlin town makes my heart start to yearn

And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby oover the sea, I remember the night

When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki and I held you oh so tight.

Oh, I'm a travelin' man, yeah, I'm a travelin' man, oh, I'm a travelin' man





TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS

She may be weary, women do get weary wearing the same shabby dress

And when she‘s weary, try a little tenderness.

You know she‘s waiting, just anticipating things she may never possess

While she‘s without them, try a little tenderness.

It‘s not just sentimental, she has her grief and care

And a word that‘s soft and gentle, makes it easier to bear.

You won‘t regret it, women don‘t forget it, love is their whole happiness

It‘s all so easy try a little tenderness (X2)



TRY TO REMEMBER

Try to remember the kind of September when life was slow and oh, so mellow.

Try to remember the kind of September when grass was green and grain was yellow.

Try to remember the kind of September when you were a tender and callow fellow,

Try to remember and if you remember the follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender that no one wept except the willow.

Try to remember when life was so tender that dreams were kept beside your pillow.

Try to remember when life was so tender that love was an ember about to billow.

Try to remember and if you remember then follow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember although you know the snow will follow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember without the hurt the heart is hollow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember the fire of September that made us mellow.

Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow.

TWILIGHT TIME

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time

Out of the mist your voice is calling, it's twilight time

When purple colored curtains mark the end of the day

I hear you, my dear, at twilight time



Deepening shadows gather splendor, as day is done

Fingers of night will soon surrender, the setting sun

I count the moments darling till you're here with me

Together at last at twilight time

Here in the after-glow of day we keep our rendez-vous beneath the blue

Here in the sweet and same old way, I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me, like days of old

Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold

Each day I pray for evening just to be with you

Together at last at twilight time

Together at last at twilight time



UNDECIDED

First you say you do and then you don't, and then you say you will and then you won't

You're undecided now so what are you gonna do?

Now you want to play and then it's no, and when you say you'll stay that's when you go

You're undecided now so what are you gonna do?

I've been sitting on a fence, and it doesn't make much sense

'Cause you keep me in suspense and you know it

Then you promise to return when you don't I really burn

Well, I guess I'll never learn and I show it

If you've got a heart and if you're kind then don't keep us apart make up your mind

You're undecided now so what are you gonna do?



UNDER PARIS SKIES

Stranger beware, there‘s love in the air under Paris skies

Try to be smart and don‘t let your heart catch on fire.

Love becomes king, the moment it‘s spring under Paris skies

Lonely hearts meet somewhere on the street of desire.

Parisian love can bloom, high in a skylight room

Or in a gay café where hundreds of people can see.

I wasn‘t smart and I lost my heart under Paris skies

Don‘t ever be a heartbroken stranger like me.

Oh, I fell in love. Yes, I was a fool, for Paris can be so beautifully cruel

Paris is just a gay coquette, who wants to love and then forget.

Stranger, beware, there‘s love in the air.

Just look and see what happened to me under Paris skies

Watch what you do, the same thing can happen to you.



UNDER THE BOARDWALK

Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar upon the roof

And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof

Under the boardwalk, down by the sea…yeah

On a blanket with my baby, that‘s where I‘ll be

UTBW, out of the sun, UTBW, we‘ll be havin‘ some fun, UTBW people walkin‘ above

UTBW, we‘ll be fallin‘ in love, under the boardwalk, boardwalk

From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel

You can almost taste the hot dogs and french fries they sell

Under the boardwalk, down by the sea…yeah

On a blanket with my baby, that‘s where I‘ll be

UTBW, out of the sun, UTBW, we‘ll be havin‘ some fun, UTBW people walkin‘ above

UTBW, we‘ll be fallin‘ in love, under the boardwalk, boardwalk



UP ON THE ROOF

When this old world starts getting me down and people are much to much for me to take

I climb right up to the top of the stairs and all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof it‘s peaceful as can be and there the world below don‘t bother me

So, when I come home feeling tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet

I get far away from the hustling crowds and all the rat race noise down in the street

On the roof that‘s the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so, up on the roof

At night the stars put on a show for free, and, Darling, you can share it all with me.

Right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that‘s trouble-proof

And if this world starts getting you down, there‘s room enough for two up on the roof



VAYA CON DIOS

Now the hacienda‘s dark the town is sleeping, now the time has come to part, the time for weeping

Vaya con dios, my darling, vaya con dios, my love.

Now the village mission bells are softly ringing. If you listen with your heart you‘ll hear them singing

Vaya con dios, my darling, vaya con dios, my love.

Wherever you may be I‘ll be beside you, although you‘re many million dreams away

Each night I‘ll say a prayer, a prayer to guide you, to hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day

Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow, but the memories we share are there to borrow

Vaya con dios, my darling, vaya con dios, my love.



VENUS

Venus, if you will, please send a little girl for me to thrill,

A girl who wants my kisses and my arms, a girl with all the charms of you

Venus, make her fair, a lovely girl with sunlight in her hair,

And take the brightest stars up in the skies and place them uin her eyes for you.

Venus, goddess of love that you are, surely the things I ask can't be too great a task.

Venus, if you do, I promise that I always will be true;

I'll give her all the love I have to give as long as we both shall live.

Hey, Venus, oh, Venus, make my wish come true.



WAKE UP LITTLE SUSIE

Wake up, Little Susie, wake up. Wake up, Little Susie, wake up

1st verse: We‘ve both been sound asleep, wake up, Little Susie and weep

The movie‘s over, it‘s four o‘clock, and we‘re in trouble deep

2nd verse: The movie wasn‘t so hot, it didn‘t have much of a plot

We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot

Wake up, Little Susie, Wake up, Little Susie.

Well, what‘re we gonna tell your Mama? What‘re we gonna tell your Pa?

What‘re we gonna tell our friends when they say, ―Ooh la-la?‖

Wake up, little Susie, Wake up, Little Susie.

Well, we told your Mama that we‘d be in by ten, well..

Susie baby, looks like we goofed again, wake up, Little Susie,

We gotta go home



WALK RIGHT IN

Walk right in, sit right down, daddy, let your mind roll on.

Walk right in, sit right down, daddy, let your mind roll on.]

Everybody‘s talkin‘ ‗bout a new way of walkin‘, do you want to lose your mind?

Walk right in, sit right down, daddy, let your mind roll on.



WALKING MY BABY BACK HOME

Gee, it‘s great, after stayin‘ out late, walkin‘ my baby back home,

Arm in arm over meadow and farm, walkin‘ my baby back home.

We go ‗long harmonizin‘ a song, or I‘m reciting a poem

Owls go by and they give me the eye, walkin‘ my baby back home.

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile, and snuggles her head to my chest.

We start in to pet, and that‘s when I get her powder all over my vest.

After I kind of straighten my tie, she has to borrow my comb

One kiss then I continue again, walkin‘ my baby back home.

She‘s ‗fraid of the dark, so I have to park outside of her door till it‘s light

She says if I try to kiss her she‘ll cry, I dry her tears all thru the night.

Hand in hand to a barbecue stand, straight from her doorway we roam,

Eats and then it‘s a pleasure again, walkin‘ my baby back home.



WATCHING THE RIVER RUN

If you've been thinking you're all that you've got, then don't feel alone anymore

'Cause when we're together then you've got a lot, 'cause I am the river and you are the shore

And it goes on and on, watching the river run,

Further and further from things that we've done, leaving them one by one

And we have just begun, watching the river run

Listening, learning and yearning, to run, river, run.

Winding and swirling and dancing along past by the old willow tree

Where lovers caress as we sing them our song, rejoicing together as we greet the sea



THE WAYWARD WIND

Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind, a restless wind that yearns to wander

And I was born the next of kin, the next of kin to the wayward wind

In a lonely shack by a railroad track I spent my younger days

And I guess the sound of the outward bound made me a slave to my wand'rin' ways

Chorus

Oh, I met a girl in a border town, I vowed we'd never part

'Tho I tried my best to settle down, she's now alone....with a broken heart.

Chorus



THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT

Some day when I'm awfully low, when the world is cold

I will feel a glow just thinking of you and the way you look tonight

Oh, but you're lovely, with your smile so warm, and your cheek so soft

There is nothing for me but to love you, just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows, tearing my fear apart,

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never, never change, keep that breathless charm

Won't you please arrange it 'cause I love you, just the way you look tonight

Just the way you look tonight just the way you look tonight



WE‘LL MEET AGAIN

We'll meet a-gain, don't know where, don't know when,

But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.

Keep smiling through, just like you always do

'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far a - way.

So will you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know, tell them I won't be long,

They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go, I was singing this song.

We'll meet a-gain, don't know where, don't know when,

But I know we'll meet a-gain some sunny day.



WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS

We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin

Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Oh bring us some figgy pudding, oh bring us some figgy pudding

Oh bring us some figgy pudding and bring it right here.

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin

Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We won‘t go until we get some, we won‘t go until we get some

We won‘t go until we get some, so bring it right here.

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin

Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year!



WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

Don‘t know much about history, don‘t know much biology

Don‘t know much about a science book, don‘t know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you, and I know that if you love me too

What a wonderful world this would be.



Don‘t know much about geography, don‘t know much trigonometry

Don‘t know much about algebra, don‘t know what a slide rule is for

But I know that one and one is two, and if this one could be with you

What a wonderful world this would be

I don‘t claim to be an ‗A‘ student, but I‘m tryin‘ to be

For maybe by being an ‗A‘ student, baby, I can win your love for me.

Repeat 1st verse.

WHAT'S THAT I HEAR

What's that I hear now ringing in my ears, I've heard that sound before

What's that I hear now, ringing in my ears, I hear it more and more

It's the sound of freedom calling, ringing up to the sky

It's the sound of the old ways a'fallin'

You can hear it if you try, you can hear it if you try



What's that I see now, shining in my eyes, I've seen that light before

What's that I see now, shining in my eyes, I see it more and more

It's the light of freedom calling, shining up to the sky

It's the light of the old ways a'fallin',

You can see it if you try, you can see it if you try



What's that I feel now, beating in my heart, I've felt that beat before

What's that I feel now, beating in my heart, I feel it more and more

It's therumble of freedom calling, climbing up to the sky

It's the rumble of the old ways a'fallin',

You can hear it if you try, you can see it if you try,

You....can feel it if you try......................!



WHEN I FALL IN LOVE

When I fall in love it will be forever, or I‘ll never fall in love

In a restless world like this is, love is ended before it‘s begun

And too many moonlight kisses seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely, or I‘ll never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too

Is when I fall in love…. when I fall in love…. when I fall in love with you.



WHEN I GET HOME

Whoa-ah, whoa-ah, I got a whole lot of things to tell her, when I get home.

Come on, out of my way, 'cause I'm gonna see my baby today,

I got a whole lot of things I gotta say to her.

Whoa-ah, whoa-ah, I got a whole lot of things to tell her, when I get home.

Come on if you please, I've got no time for trivialities,

I got a girl who's waiting home for me tonight.

Whoa-ah, whoa-ah, I got a whole lot of things to tell her, when I get home.

When I'm getting home tonight, I'm gonna hold her tight.

I'm gonna love her till the cows come home,

I'll love her more, till I walk out that door again.

Come on, let me through, I've got so many things, I've got to do,

I've got no business being here with you this way.

Whoa-ah, whoa-ah, I've got a whole lot of things to tell her when I get home.



WHEN I‘M SIXTY-FOUR

When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now

Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine

If I‘d been out ‗til a quarter to three, would you lock the door

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I‘m sixty- four

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it‘s not too dear.

You‘ll be older too, and if you say the word, I could stay with you.

I could be handy mending a fuse when your lights have gone

You can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings, go for a ride

Doing the garden digging the weeds, who could ask for more

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I‘m sixty-four.

We shall scrimp and save,

Grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck and Dave.

Send me a postcard drop me a line stating point of view

Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away

Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I‘m sixty-four?



WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING

When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it‘s like a morn in Spring

In the lilt of Irish laughter you can hear the angels sing

When Irish hearts are happy, all the world seems bright and gay

And when Irish eyes are smiling, sure they steal your heart a-way.



WHEN I TAKE MY SUGAR TO TEA

When I take my sugar to tea, all the boys are jealous of me ‗cause

I never take her where the gang goes, when I take my sugar to tea.

I‘m a rowdy dowdy, that‘s me, she‘s a high-hat baby, that‘s she. So

I never take her where the gang goes, when I take my sugar to tea

Every Sunday afternoon, we forget about our cares

Rubbing elbows at the wrist, with those millionaires

When I take my sugar to tea, I‘m as ritzy as I can be, ‗cause

I never take her where the gang goes, when I take my sugar to tea.



WHEN THE RED, RED ROBIN COMES BOB, BOB BOBBIN‘ ALONG

When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin‘ along, along

There‘ll be no more sobbin‘ when he starts throbbin‘ his old, sweet song.

Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head, get up, get up, get out of bed

Cheer up, cheer up, the sun is red. Live, love, laugh and be happy.

What if I‘ve been blue, now I‘m walkin‘ through fields of flowrs.

Rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours.

I‘m just a kid again, doin‘ what I did again, singing a song.

When the red, red, robin comes bob, bob bobbin‘ along.



WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN

Oh, when the Saints go marching in, oh, when the Saints go marching in

Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number, when the Saints go marching in.

Oh, when the sun refuse to shine, oh, when the sun refuse to shine,

Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number, when the sun refuse to shine.

Oh, when the Saints………………..

Oh when the trumpet sounds the call, oh, when the trumpet sounds the call

Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number, when the trumpet sounds the call

Oh, when the Saints……………….



WHEN YOU WORE A TULIP

When you wore a tulip, a sweet yellow tulip and I wore a big red rose.

When you caressed me, ‗t‘was then Heaven blessed me, what a blessing no one knows

You made life cheery when you called me ―dearie‖ ‗t‘was down where the blue grass grows

Your lips were sweeter than julep when you wore that tulip and I wore a big red rose (X2)



WHEN YOUR HAIR HAS TURNED TO SILVER

When your hair has turned to silver I will love you just the same

I will only call you sweetheart that will always be your name

Through a garden filled with roses down the sunset trail we'll stray

When your hair has turned to silver I will love you as today

Through a garden filled with roses...



WHEN YOUR LOVER HAS GONE

What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming that comes with each new love affair?

The love that you cherish so often may perish and leave you with castles in air.

When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies? When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies

At break of dawn there is no sunrise, when your lover has gone.

What lonely hours the evening shadows bring. What lonely hours, with memories lingering

Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything when your lover has gone



WHEN YOU‘RE SMILING

When you‘re smiling, when you‘re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.

When you‘re laughing, when you‘re laughing, the sun comes shining through.

But when you‘re crying, you bring on the rain,

So stop your sighing, be happy again.

Keep on smiling, ‗cause when you‘re smiling

The whole world smiles, the whole world smiles, the whole world smiles with you!



WHEN YOU‘RE SMILING

I saw a blind man, he was a kind man, helping a fel-low along

One could not see, one could not walk, but they both were humming this song

When you‘re smiling, when you‘re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.

When you‘re laughing, when you‘re laughing, the sun comes shining through.

But when you‘re crying, you bring on the rain,

So stop your sighing, be happy again.

Keep on smiling, ‗cause when you‘re smiling

The whole world smiles with you!

I used to worry, I used to hurry each time it started to rain

Now I see light, learned wrong from right and you‘ll ne-ver hear me complain

CHORUS



WHERE DOES IT GET YOU IN THE END?

The harder I work, the faster I earn, the faster I earn, then the richer I get

The richer I get, the faster I spend-where does it get you in the end?

The harder I work, the more that I learn, the more that I learn, then the smarter I get

But maybe the strain will injure my brain-where does it get you in the end?

But if I work harder, get smarter, for-get a little slower, spend a little lower

Earn faster, learn faster, I'll be smart as Einstein and rich as Mr. Astor

So, baby, for you I'll work day and night, get terribly rich and amazingly bright

But, honey, unless you're gonna say yes-where will it get me in the end?



WHERE OR WHEN

It seems we stood and talked like this before,

We looked at each other in the same way then,

But I can't remember where or when.

The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore.

The smile you are smiling you were smiling then,

But I can't remember where or when

Some things that happened for the first time,

Seem to be happening again.

And so it seems that we have met before

And laughed before, and loved before,

But who knows where or when.



WHISPERING

Whispering while you cuddle near me, whispering so no one can hear me

Each little whisper seems to cheer me, I know it‘s true there‘s no one, dear, but you.

Whispering why you‘ll never leave me, whispering why you‘ll never grieve me

Whisper and say that you believe me, Whispering that I love you.



WHITE CHRISTMAS

I‘m dreaming of a White Christmas just like the ones I used to know,

Where the treetops glisten, and children listen to hear sleighbells in the snow.

I‘m dreaming of a White Christmas with every Christmas card I write,

May your days be merry and bright, and may all your Christmases be white.



WHITE SANDY BEACH

I saw you in my dreams, we were walking hand in hand

On a white, sandy beach of Hawaii

We were playing in the sun, we were having so much fun

On a white, sandy beach of Hawaii

The sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul

The sound of the ocean rocks me all night long

Those hot long summer days lying there in the sun

On a white, sandy beach of Hawaii

The sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul

The sound of the ocean rocks me all night long

Last night in my dreams I saw your face again

We were there in the sun

On a white, sandy beach of Hawaii



WHO‘S SORRY NOW?

Who‘s sorry now? Who‘s sorry now? Whose heart is aching for breaking each vow?

Who‘s sad and blue? Who‘s crying too? Just like I cried over you.

Right to the end, just like a friend, I tried to warn you somehow

You had your way, now you must pay. I‘m glad that you‘re sorry now.



WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE

Oo wah, oo wah, oo wah, oo wah, oo wah, oo wah, why do fools fall in love?

Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day, why do they fall in love?

Why does the rain fall from up above, why do fools fall in love, why do they fall in love?

Love is a losing game, love can be a shame; I know of a fool you see, for that fool is me.

Tell me why-----------------y tell me why.

Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of day, why do they fall in love?

Why does the rain fall from up above, why do fools fall in love, why do they fall in love?

Why does my he---art skip a crazy beat? For I know it will reach defeat

Tell me why----------------y tell me why.

Why do fools fall in love,….fall in love,…. fall in love,….fall in love?



WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW

Tonight you're mine completely; you give your love so sweetly

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes, but will you love me tomorrow

Is this a lasting treasure, or just a moment's pleasure?

Can I believe the magic of your sighs, will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken, you said that I'm the only one

But will my heart be broken when the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love is a love I can be sure of

So tell me now and I won't ask again, will you still love me tomorrow?



WINTER WONDERLAND

Sleighbells ring, are you list‘nin? In the lane, snow is glist‘nin,

A beautiful sight; we‘re happy tonight Walkin‘ in a Winter Wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird. Here to stay is a new bird.

He sings a love song as we go along Walkin‘ in a Winter Wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman, then pretend that he is Parson Brown.

He‘ll say ―Are you married?‖ we‘ll say ―No, man.‖

But you can do the job when you‘re in town.

Later on, we‘ll conspire, as we dream by the fire

To face unafraid the plans that we made Walkin‘ in a Winter Wonderland.



WITCHCRAFT

Those fingers through my hair, that sly, come-hither stare,

That strips my conscience bare, it‘s witchcraft

And I‘ve got no defense for it, the heat is too intense for it,

What good would common sense for it do?

It‘s witchcraft, wicked witchcraft,

And, although I know it‘s strictly taboo,

When you arouse the need in me, my heart says yes indeed in me,

Proceed with what you‘re leading me too.

It‘s such an ancient pitch, but one I wouldn‘t switch

‗Cause there‘s no nicer witch than you.



WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

What would you think if I sang out of tune, would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and I‘ll sing you a song, and I‘ll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, mm, I get high with a little help from my friends

Mm, I‘m gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away? (Does it worry you to be alone?)

How do I feel at the end of the day? (Are you sad because you‘re on your own?)

Refrain (starting with ―No‖)

(Do you need anybody?) I need sombody to love.

(Could it be anybody?) I want somebody to love.

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?) Yes, I‘m certain that it happens all the time.

(What do you see when you turn out the light?) I can‘t tell you, but I know it‘s mine.

Refrain (starting with ―Oh‖)

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends. Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends. Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends,

With a little help from my friends.



WOULDN‘T IT BE LOVERLY

All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air

With one enormous chair, oh, wouldn‘t it be loverly?

Lots of chocolate for me to eat, lots of coal makin‘ lots of ‗eat

Warm face, warm hands, warm feet, oh, wouldn‘t it be loverly?

Oh, so loverly sittin‘ absobloomin‘ lutely still, I would never budge ‗til spring

Crept over me window sill.

Someone‘s ‗ead restin‘ on my knee, warm and tender as he can be

Who takes good care of me oh, wouldn‘t it be loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly!



YANKEE DOODLE DANDY

I‘m a Yankee Doodle Dandy, Yankee Doodle do or die

A real-live nephew of my Uncle Sam, born on the fourth of July

I‘ve Got a Yankee Doodle Sweetheart, she‘s my Yankee Doodle joy

Yankee Doodle went to London just to ride the ponies,

I am that Yankee Doodle Boy



YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS

There‘s a Yellow Rose in Texas, that I am going to see

She‘s the sweetest rose in Texas this fellow ever knew

No other fellow knows her, nobody else but me

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew

She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart

You may talk about your Laura and sing of Rosa Lee

And if I ever find her, we never more will part

But the Yellow Rose of Texas means all the world to me



YELLOW SUBMARINE

In the town where I was born lived a man who sailed to sea,

And he told us of his life in the land of submarines.

So we sailed up to the sun 'til we found the sea of green.

And we lived beneath the waves in our yellow submarine.

We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

And our friends are all on board, many more of them live next door

As we live a life of ease, every one of us has all we need

And the band begins to play

Sky of blue and sea of green in our yellow submarine. (WE ALL LIVE…)



YES, SIR, THAT‘S MY BABY

Yes, sir, that‘s my baby, no, sir, I don‘t mean maybe

Yes, sir, that‘s my baby now.

Yes, ma‘am, we‘ve decided, no, ma‘am, we won‘t hide it

Yes, ma‘am, you‘re invited now.

By the way, by the way, when we reach the preacher I‘ll say

Yes, sir, that‘s my baby, no, sir, I don‘t mean maybe

Yes, sir, that‘s my baby now.



YESTERDAY

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they‘re here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly I‘m not half the man I used to be

There‘s a shadow hanging over me

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don‘t know he wouldn‘t say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday, I believe in yesterday.

A YIDDISHE MAME

Of things I should be thankful for, I've had a goodly share

And as I sit here in the comfort of a cozy chair

My fancy takes me to a humble east side tenement

Three flights up in the rear to where my childhood days were spent

It wasn't much like paradise, but 'mid the dirt and all

There sat the sweetest angel, one that I fondly call

A Yiddishe Mame, es gibt nit beser oyf der welt.

A Yiddishe Mame, oy vey vi biter ven zi felt,

Vi sheyn un likhtig iz in hoyz, ven di mame'z do,

Vi troyerik finster vert, ven Gott nemt ir oyf oylem habo.

In vaser in fayer, volt zi ge-lofn far ir kind,

Nit haltn ir tayer. Dos iz gevis di greste zind.

Oy vi gliklekh un raykh iz der mentsh vos hot,

Aza sheyne ma-tone ge-shenkt fun Gott,

Nor an altitshke Yiddishe Mame, oy Mame mayn.

My Yiddishe Mama, I need her more than ever now

My Yiddishe Mama, I'd love to kiss that wrinkled brow

I long to hold her hand once more as in days gone by

And ask her to for-give me....... for things I did that made her cry

How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion style

Her jewels and her treasures, she found them in her babies' smiles

Oh, I know that I owe what I am today to that dear little lady, so old and gray

To that wonderful Yiddishe Mama.....Oh Mama of mine!



YIDL MITN FIDL

Iber felder, vegn, oyf a vogn hey, mit zun un vint un regn, forn klezmer tsvey.

YOU ALWAYS HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE

You always hurt the one you love

The one you shouldn't hurt at all

You always take the sweetest rose

And crush it till the petals fall



You always break the kindest heart

With a hasty word you can't recall, so

If I broke your heart last night

It's because I love you most of all



You always hurt the one you love

The one you shouldn't hurt at all

You always take the sweetest rose

And crush it till the petals fa-all



You always break the kindest heart

With a hasty word you can't recall

So if I broke your heart last night

It's because I love you mo-ost of a-all



YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You‘ll never know, dear, how much I love you

Please don‘t take my sunshine away.



The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping,

I dreamed I held you in my arms

When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

So I hung down my head and I cried.



You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You‘ll never know, dear, how much I love you

Please don‘t take my sunshine away.



YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE

You are the sunshine of my life, that's why I'll always be around,

You are the apple of my eye, forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning, though I've loved you for a million years,

And if I thought our love was ending, I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

CHORUS

You must have known that I was lonely, because you came to my rescue,

And I know that this must be heaven, how could so much love be inside of you?

CHORUS



YOU BELONG TO ME

See the pyramids along the Nile, watch the sunrise on a tropic isle

Just remember, darlin' all the while...you belong to me

See the marketplace in Old Algiers, send me photographs and souvenirs

Just remember when a dream appears...you belong to me

I'd be so alone without you, maybe you'd be lonesome too, and blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane, see the jungle when it's wet with rain

Just remember till you're home again...you belong to me.



YOU DON‘T KNOW ME

You give your hand to me and then you say hello,

And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so

And anyone can tell you think you know me well, but you don‘t know me.



No, you don‘t know the one who dreams of you at night

And longs to kiss your lips, and longs to hold you tight

To you I‘m just a friend, that‘s all I‘ve ever been, but you don‘t know me.

For I never knew the art of making love, though my heart ached with love for you

Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by, the chance that you might love me too.

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye,

I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy

You‘ll never, never know the one who loves you so, no you don‘t know me



YOU GO TO MY HEAD

You go to my head, and you linger like a haunting refrain

And I find you spinning round in my brain

Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne.

You go to my head, like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew

And I find the very mention of you, like the kicker in a julep or two.

The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea casts a spell over me

Still I say to my-self: get a hold of your-self, can't you see that it never can be?

You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise

Like a summer with a thousand Julys you intoxicate my soul with your eyes

Tho' I'm certain that this heart of mine hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance,

You go to my head.



YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU

You made me love you, I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it

You made me want you, and all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes, you made me glad

But there were times when you made me feel so bad.

You made me cry for, I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you

I want some love that's true, yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for

You know you've got the brand of kisses that I'd die for

You know you made me love you.



YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all. What's the use of trying not to fall?

I have no will, you've made your kill 'cause you took advantage of me!

I'm just like an apple on a bough and you're gonna shake me down somehow

So, what's the use, you've cooked my goose 'cause you took advantage of me!

I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know my elbow from my ear

I suffer something awful each time you go and much worse when you're near

Here I am with all my bridges burned, just a babe in arms where you're concerned

So lock the doors and call me yours, 'cause you took advantage of me.



YOU WON'T SEE ME

When I call you up your line's engaged. I have heard enough, so act your age

We have lost the time that was so hard to find

And I will lose my mind if.. You won't see me. You won't see me, you won't see me

I don't know why you should want to hide, but I can't get through, my hands are tied

I don't want to stay, I don't have much to say

But I get turned away if you won't see me,



YOU, YOU, YOU

You, You, You, I'm in love with you, you, you

I could be so true, true, true to someone like you, you, you

Do, do, do what you oughta do, do, do

Take me in you arms, please do; let me cling to you, you, you

We were meant for each other sure as heavens above

We were meant for each other, to have, to hold and to love

You, you, you there's no one like you, you, you

You could make my dreams come true, if you say you love me too



YOUNG AT HEART

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you if you‘re young at heart

For it‘s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind, if you‘re young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes,

You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams,

And life gets more exciting with each passing day

And love is either in your heart or on the way.

Don‘t you know that it‘s worth every treasure on earth to be young at heart

For as rich as you are, it‘s much better by far to be young at heart

And if you should survive to a hundred and five, look at all you‘ll derive out of being alive

And here is the best part, you have a head start, if you are among the very young at heart.



YOU‘RE A GRAND OLD FLAG

You‘re a grand old flag, you‘re a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave

You‘re the emblem of the land I love, the home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true for the red, white, and blue

Where there‘s never a boast or brag

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, keep your eye on the grand old flag



YOU‘RE NOBODY TILL SOMEBODY LOVES YOU

You‘re nobody till somebody loves you

You‘re nobody till somebody cares.

You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold

But gold won‘t bring you happiness when you‘re growing old (you gotta remember that)

The world still is the same, you‘ll never change it

As sure as the stars shine above

You‘re nobody till somebody loves you

So find yourself somebody to love.



YOU‘RE SIXTEEN

You come on like a dream, peaches and cream, lips like strawberry wine.

You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine.

You're all ribbons and curls, ooh, what a girl, eyes that sparkle and shine.

You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine.

You're my baby, you're my pet, we fell in love on the night we met.

You touched my hand, my heart went pop, and, ooh, when we kissed, I could not stop.

You walked out of my dreams, and into my arms, now you're my angel divine.

You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine, mine all mine,

You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine.



YOUR CHEATIN‘ HEART

Your cheatin‘ heart will make you weep. You‘ll cry and cry and try to sleep

But sleep won‘t come the whole night through. Your cheatin‘ heart will tell on you.

When tears come down like falling rain, you‘ll toss around and call my name

You‘ll walk the floor the way I do. Your cheatin‘ heart will tell on you.

Harmonica verse

When tears come down like falling rain, you‘ll toss around and call my name

You‘ll walk the floor the way I do. Your cheatin‘ heart will tell on you.



YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND

When you're down and troubled and you need some lovin' care

And nothin', oh nothin' is goin' right

Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name and you know, wherever I am

I'll come runnin' to see you again

Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall

And I'll be there yeh, yeh, yeh, you've got a friend

If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds

And that ol' North Wind begins to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

Soon you'll hear me knockin' at your door.

Chorus

Hey ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

When people can be so cold?

They'll hurt you and desert you

They'll take your soul if you let them

Ah, but don't you let them.

Chorus



ZING A LITTLE ZONG

Zing, Zing, Zing a little Zong with me

I know we're not beside the Zuider Zee

But when you're zittin' by the zide of me,

I want to zing a little zong.

Zing zome zentimental melody

About a chapel or an apple tree

About a couple living happily

And I'll be glad to zing along

This ain't the zeason for getting' kinda zilly

You really are a dolly, a dolly and a dilly

You got a reason to cuddle kinda close to me

And we can do a very clever piece of close harmony

Oh! Zing, zing, zing it's getting late my pet

We've got a most important date to zet

I'm sure that we will make a great duet

And we can zing a little love zong all night long.



ZING WENT THE STRINGS OF MY HEART

Dear, when you smiled at me, I heard a melody; It haunted me from the start

Something inside of me started a symphony, zing went the strings of my heart

‗Twas like a breath of Spring; I heard a robin sing, about a nest set a-part

All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony, zing went the strings of my heart

Your eyes made skies seem blue again; What else could I do again?

But keep repeating through and through, ―I love you, love you.‖

I still recall the thrill, I guess I always will, I hope ‗twill never part,

Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine, zing went the strings of my heart.
