THEY WERE DOIN' THE MAMBO
Vaughn Monroe
Words and music by Sonny Burke and Don Raye
I went a ridin home down to Santa Fe,
There's been a lot of changes since I been away
I went to have a dance at the old dance hall,
Where they were having a ball
CHORUS 1:
They were doin the mambo,
What the heck is the mambo
They were doin the mambo,
While I just stood around
I looked around the place for my best gal Flo
I asked a lot of people for my best friend Joe
Nobody seemed to know where my two friends were
Except that he was with her
CHORUS 2:
They were doin the mambo,
Well they called it the mambo
They were doin the mambo,
While I just stood around
I used to be a dance hall dandy
But it seems since I been gone
There's an awful lot of changes,
I don't know what's goin on
I got a big surprise on the patio,
I found my gal a huggin
With my best friend Joe
And when they turned around
And they looked my way
They smiled and shouted "Olay!"
CHORUS 2
I used to be a dance hall dandy
I knew all there was to know
I knew this away from that away,
But which way did they go
I figured it was time that I took a ride
But couldn't find my horse
Where I left him tied
He found a little filly that he liked a lot,
And you believe it or not
They were doin the mambo,
Even horses do mambo
They were doin the mambo, mambo
While I just stood around
There, I've Said It Again
Vaughn Monroe
I love you, there's nothing to hide
It's better than burning inside
I love you, no use to pretend
There, I've said it again
I've said it, what more can I say
Believe me, there's no other way
I love you, I will to the end
There, I've said it again
I've tried to drum up
A phrase that would sum up
All that I feel for you
But what good are phrases
The thought that amazes
Is you love me, and it's heavenly
Forgive me for wanting you so
But one thing I want you to know
I've loved you since heaven knows when
There, I've said it again
[Musical interlude]
Forgive me for wanting you so
But one thing I want you to know
I've loved you since heaven knows when
There I go, there I've said it again
There I Go
Vaughn Monroe
(I. Weiser)
There I go, leading with my heart again
And There I go, acting not so smart again
But tho it's unwise, I can't disguise my love.
Tho I know too much love may curb the fire
Yet, There I go
Led astray by my desire
There's no golden rule to guide a fool in love.
I tell my heart, "Be careful,
Or you'll find that you dream alone."
I'm wise it's true, what good does it do?
My heart has a mind of its own.
There I go, spilling all the dreams I knew
And there I go thrillingly in love with you.
Don't know if you care, Darling,
But There I go.
LET IT SNOW!
Vaughn Monroe
Sammy Cahn, J.Styne (c) 1945
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, [F C7 F]
But the fire is so delightful, [F Abdim C7]
And since we've no place to go, [Gm D7 Gm]
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. [C7 F]
It doesn't show signs of stopping, [F C7 F]
And I brought some corn for popping; [F Abdim C7]
The lights are turned way down low, [Gm D7 Gm]
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. [C7 F]
When we finally kiss good night, [C]
How I'll hate going out in the storm; [Dm7 G7 C]
But if you really hold me tight, [C]
All the way home I'll be warm. [D7 G7 C7]
The fire is slowly dying, [F C7 F]
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing, [F Abdim C7]
But as long as you love me so. [Gm D7 Gm]
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. [C7 F]
EVERY DAY I LOVE YOU
Vaughn Monroe
Ev'ryday I love you just a little bit more,
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more'
Ev'ryday I want you just a little bit more
Than I did the day before,
You'll never guess how deep my love is'
Not even in your wildest dream,
But just so you'll get it clear;
Compared to my love, my dear,
The Mississippi River's just a stream,
Ev'ryday I love you just a little bit more,
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more;
Ev'ryday I want you just a little bit more,
Than I did the day before
Mule train! (Hyah, hyah)
Mule train!
Clippety cloppin' over hill and plain
Seems as how they never stop, clippety clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along
There's a plug o'chaw tobacky for a rancher in Corona
A ghee-tar for a cowboy 'way out in Arizona
A dress of calico for a pretty Navajo
Get along, mule! , get along
Mule train! (Hyah, hyah)
Mule train!
Clippety cloppin' o'er the mountain chain
Soon they're gonna reach the top, clippety clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along
There's some cotton thread and needles for the folks in way-out-yonder
A shovel for a miner who left his home to wander
Some rheumatism pills for the settlers in the hills
Get along, mule! , get along
Mule train! (Hyah, hyah)
Mule train!
Clippety cloppin' through the wind and rain
They'll keep goin' till they drop, clippety clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along
There's a letter full of sadness trimmed with black around the border
A pair of boots for someone who had them made to order
A bible in the pack for the Reverend Mr. Black
Get along, mule! , get along
Get along, mule, get along! (mule train)
(Hyah, hyah)

You thought romance was just a dance,
That never would end.
You made the rules,
You played the rules to pretend.
Blue Lady,
Shadows are falling,
Noone is calling,
You're all alone.
Blue Lady,
Misty with sorrow.
There's no tomoorow,
You should have known.
There are no roses, in December.
Remember, roses bloom in May
Blue Lady
Now you are lonely,
But you have only
Yourself to blame.
Accident'ly On Purpose,
You coughed while passing by.
Accident'ly On Purpose,
You tried to catch my eye.
You made that chance remark,
That the day 'was mild'.
Left me at your, incidently
Was it accident'ly that you smiled?
Accident'ly On Purpose,
You let me hold your hand.
You did it on purpose,
You had the whole thing planned.
You thought you were so smart,
But sweetheart, I wasn't fooled at all.
Accident'ly On Purpose,
I made you fall.

Agora você vem pedindo mais
E eu sabia que ia ser assim
Uma noitada daquelas não se esquece jamais
E eu te dei o melhor de mim
Você é dessas meninas deslumbrantes
Que só namora com homens perfeitos
Corpo de atleta, cara de modelo
E na hora da febre nada feito
Aí caiu na mão desse cervejeiro
Olhar matreiro e barriguinha pró
E eu te fiz gozar e ver a vida
Te fiz gemer até não ter mais dó
Põe tudo! Põe tudo!
Você gemia e pedia bis
Põe tudo! Põe tudo!
Na horizontal é que te fiz feliz
Aqui em casa você se encontrou
Já não quer mais cantar ou ser atriz
De avental fazendo o jantar
Já não quer mais desfilar nem ser miss
Eu de chinelo, a barba por fazer
Tomando "uma" e vendo futebol
Você tarada e sempre atrevida
Sabendo que tá muito bem comida.
Aí caiu na mão desse cervejeiro

When the Lights Go On Again All Over the World

Peaked at # 1 in 1943
Competing version by Lucky Millinder hit # 12
Title song from the 1944 film
*When the lights go on again all over the world*
And the boys are home again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above
A kiss won't mean 'goodbye' but 'Hello to love'
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world
When the lights go on again all over the world

Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Someday
Vaughn Monroe
Music and lyrics by Jimmie Hodges
I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody else
You expect me to be true
And keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue
You think I can't forget you
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I am strong for somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you
Someday you'll want me
And long for me, dear
But I won't be there
I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I am strong for somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you
And then I won't want you
Seems Like Old Times
Vaughn Monroe
(words and music by Carmen Lombardo and John Jacob Loeb)
Remember all the things we did together.
All the fun we had on New Year's Eve,
How we danced til dawn,
Then darling you were gone,
Now it's almost too good to believe.
Seems like old times, having you to walk with,
Seems like old times, having you to talk with.
And it's still a thrill just to have my arms around you,
Still the thrill that it ws the day I found you,
Seems like old times, dinner dates and flowers,
Just like old times, staying up for hours,
Making dreams come true, doing things we used to do,
Seems like old times, being here with you.
Once we were all together,
You and the moon and I,
But on the night you left me,
The moon raced back to the sky.
Racing with the Moon,
Sailing through the midnight blue, [High up in the midnight blue,]
And then all too soon,
It's lost from view.
Gazing at the stars,
Shining in the summer night, [Dreaming of the love we knew,]
But just like the moon,
They fade from sight. [They fade from view.]
In the blue heavens I see,
Your face smiling at me,
My heart will never be free,
Until we're back together.
Racing with the Moon,
That is what I'll always do,
Till I overtake the moon and you.
Let's Get Lost
Kay Kyser
Let's get lost, lost in each others arms
Let's get lost, let them send out alarms
And if they think we're rather rude
We'll tell the world we're in a crazy mood
Let's defrost, in a romantic mist
Let's get crossed, off everybodys list
We'll tell the world that we have found each other
Darling, let's get lost.
Clint Gorman... from memory!

(VM) Shades of night are falling,
As the winds begin to sigh,
And the world is silhouetted
'gainst the sky.
(VM&MM;)Blue Shadows On The Trail,
Blue moon shining through the trees,
(VM) And a plaintive wail from the distance,
From the distance, coms the evening breeze
(VM) Move along (MM) Move along
(VM) Blue shadows, move along.
(VM&MM;)Soon the dawn will come,
And you'll be on your way.
(VM) But until the darkness sheds it veil,
(VM&MM;)There'll be Blue Shadows On The Trail.

(VM&MM;) Blue Shadows On The Trail.
There'll be shadows on the trail.

(VM) When I was young,
I used to wait
A master, and give him his plate.
And pass the butter when he was dry,
And brush away
The Blue Tail Fly.
CHORUS;
(VM&W;) Jimmy cracked corn, and I don't care,
Jimmy cracked corn, and I don't care,
Jimmy cracked corn, and I don't care,
My master's gone away.
(VM) When he'd ride in the afternoon,
I'd follow after with a hickory broom,
The pony being rather shy,
When bitten by the Blue Tail Fly.
CHORUS
(VM) One day he ride around the farm,
The flies so num'rous, they did
swarm,
One chanced to bite him on the thigh,
The devil take the Blue Tail Fly.
CHORUS
(VM) The pony run, he jumped, he pitched,
He threw my master in the ditch.
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the
Blue Tail Fly.
CHORUS
(VM) They lay him under a cin'mon tree
His epitaph is there to see.
'Beneath this stone, I'm forced to lie,
A victim of the Blue Tail Fly'.
(VM) Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
(VM&NS;) Blue Moon
You knew just what I was there for,
You heard me saying a prayer for,
Someone I really could care for.
And then there suddenly appeared
before me,
The only one my arms would ever hold.
(VM) I heard somebody whisper,
'Please adore me'.
And when I looked, the moon
had turned to gold.
(VM&NS;) Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
ORCHESTRA INTERLUDE
(VM) Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
(VM&N;%) Without a love of my own.
Don’t Go To Strangers
Vaughn Monroe
Also sung by Woody Herman and Sarah Vaughn
Mucic by Arthur Kentand Dave Mann Lyrics by Redd Evans
Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone to love,
Don’t go to strangers darling, come to me.
Play with fire till your fingers burn,
And when there’s no place for you to turn,
Don’t go to strangers darling, come to me.
For, when you hear a call to follow your heart,
You’ll follow your heart I know.
I’ve been through it all, for I’m an old hand,
And I’ll understand if you go! So,
Make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don’t go to strangers darling, come to me.
(VM) WHEN THEY BEGIN THE BEGUINE,
IT BRINGS BACK THE SOUND
OF MUSIC SO TENDER.
IT BRINGS BACK A NIGHT
OF TROPICAL SPLENDOR,
IT BRINGS BACK A MEMORY
EVER GREEN.
(VM-CH)I'M WITH YOU ONCE MORE
UNDER THE STARS.
AND DOWN BY THE SHORE,
AN ORCHESTRA'S PLAYING.
AND EVEN THE PALMS SEEM
TO BE SWAYING,
WHEN THEY BEGIN THE BEGUINE.
TO LIVE IT AGAIN IS PAST
ALL ENDEAVOR,
EXCEPT WHEN THAT TUNE,
CLUTCHES MY HEART.
AND THERE WE ARE,
SWEARING TO LOVE FOREVER,
AND PROMISING NEVER,
NEVER, TO PART.
(VM) WHAT MOMENTS DIVINE,
WHAT RAPTURES SERENE.
'TIL CLOUDS CAME ALONG TO
DISPERSE THE JOYS WE HAD TASTED.
AND NOW WHEN I HEAR PEOPLE CURSE
THE CHANCE THAT WAS WASTED,
(VM&CH;)I KNOW BUT TOO WELL
WHAT THEY MEAN.
SO DON'T LET THEM BEGIN
THE BEGUINE,
LET THE LOVE THAT WAS ONCE
A FIRE REMAIN AN EMBER.
LET IT SLEEP LIKE THE DEAD
DESIRE I ONLY REMEMBER,
WHEN THEY BEGIN THE BEGUINE.
OH YES, LET THEM BEGIN THE BEGUINE,
MAKE THEM PLAY.
'TIL THE STARS THAT WERE THERE
BEFORE RETURN ABOVE YOU.
'TIL YOU WHISPER TO ME ONCE MORE,
'DARLING I LOVE YOU'.
THEN WE SUDDENLY KNOW
WHAT HEAVEN WE'RE IN
(VM) WHEN THEY BEGIN THE BEGUINE
WHEN THEY BEGIN---
(CH) WHEN THEY BEGIN THE BEGUINE
(VM) WHEN THEY BEGIN THE BEGUINE
(CH) THE BEGUINE.
BECAUSE, YOU COME TO ME,
WITH NAUGHT SAVE LOVE,
AND HOLD MY HAND,
AND LIFT MINE EYES ABOVE.
A WIDER WORLD OF HOPE AND JOY I SEE,
BECAUSE, YOU COME TO ME.
BECAUSE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN ACCENT SWEET,
I FIND THE ROSES WAKING 'ROUND MY FEET,
AND I AM LED THROUGH TEARS
AND JOYS TO THEE,
BECAUSE, YOU SPEAK TO ME.
BECAUSE GOD MADE THEE MINE,
I'LL CHERISH THEE,
THROUGH LIGHT AND DARKNESS ,
FOR ALL TIME TO BE.
AND PRAY HE'LL MAKE OUR LOVE DIVINE,
BECAUSE, GOD MADE THEE MINE.
Be Brave Beloved,
Believe me when I say,
We'll dream again and kiss again
someday.
Have faith beloved,
Our love will see us through,
Though nights are long, be strong,
'Til I come back to you.
I hear the bugle of freedom blow,
And I must join the ranks of
marching bands.
But there will be a Spring,
When the birds will sing,
And we'll be together again.
'Til then beloved,
Be brave, no tears, no sighs,
Next time we meet,
There'll be no more 'good byes'.

(VM) Beware, My Heart
You're getting in too deep.
Take care, my heart
This is a bit too steep.
(VM&MM;)Don't listen to the lilt
of her lovely laughter.
(VM) For you will cry for it,
(VN&MM;)Forever after.
(VM) Beware, My Heart
Of violins in the night.
When she is near,
They're loaded with dynamite.
(VM&MM;)And you can never
finish a dream,
(VM) You weren't meant to start.
(VM&MM;)Beware, take care my heart.
(MM) Beware, My Heart.
Musical Interlude
(VM&MM;)Beware, My Heart
Of violins in the night.
When she is near,
They're loaded with dynamite.
(VM) And you can never
finish a dream,
You weren't meant to start.
(VM&MM;)Beware, take care my heart,
Mine eyes have seen the glory,
of the coming of the Lord.
He is trampling out the vintage,
where the grapes of wrath are stored.
He has loosed the fateful lightening,
with His terrible swift sword,
His truth is marching on.
CHORUS;
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires
of a hundred circling camps.
They have builded Him an altar,
in the evening dews and damps.
I can read His righteous sentence
by the dim and flaring lamps.
His day is marching on.
CHORUS
He has sounded from the trumpet
that shall never call retreat.
He is sifting out the hearts of men
before His judgement-seat.
oh be swift my soul, to answer Him!
Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
CHORUS SUNG TWICE WITH
END OF SONG FADING OUT.
