Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
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 then, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
From glen to glen and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the flowers dying.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.
But when ye come and all the roses falling,
and I am dead, as dead I well may be,
Go out and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I will hear tho' soft your tread above me,
and then my grave will warm and sweeter be.
For you shall bend and tell me that you love me,
Every day, just go along dawn till sundown
Here's a rundown
Every day that comes, comes once in a lifetime
Take each day and gather the rosebuds in it
Fill each minute
Every day that comes, comes once in a lifetime
Think of now, tomorrow is waiting in the wings
Who knows what it brings
While the future waits, the present swings
Day to day, in Brooklyn or China 'cross the bay
Only once comes this particular sky
Only once these precious hours go by
Only once in a lifetime the day comes by
So live, live, live, live today
Think of now, tomorrow is waiting in the wings
Who knows what it brings
While the future waits, the present swings
From day to day, in Brooklyn or China 'cross the bay
Only once comes this particular sky
Only once these precious hours go by
Only once in a lifetime a day comes by
Come a rain storm put your rubbers on your feet,
Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat;
Comes love nothing can be done.
Comes a fire then you know just what to do,
Blow a tire You can buy another shoe,
Comes love nothing can be done.
Dont try hidin 'cause there isnt any use,
Youll start slidin when your heart turns on the juice.
Comes a headache you can lose it in a day,
Comes a toothache see the dentist right away;
Comes love nothing can be done!
Comes a heat wave you can hurry to the shore,
Comes a summons you can hide behind the door;
Comes love Nothing can be done.
Comes the measles you can quarantine the room,
Comes a mousie you can chase it with a broom;
Comes love nothing can be done.
Thats all brother, If youve ever been in love,
Thats all brother, you know what Im speaking of!
Comes a nightmare you can always stay awake,
Comes depression you may get another break;
There's nothing left for me
Of days that used to be
They're just a memory
Among my souvenirs
Some letters tied with blue
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
Among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To bring me consolation,
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To bring me consolation,
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that 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
CHORUS
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and 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 through foggy London Town
FOR ME AND MY GAL
Judy Garland and Gene Kelly
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 sometime I'm goin' to guild a little home for two,
For three or four or more
In Loveland for me and my gal
Someplace where there isn't any trouble...
...do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?
There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train.
It's far, far away...
Behind the moon
Beyond the rain
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
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 then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Reprise Cut from the Movie
(Judy sang this reprise in the witch's castle)
Someday I'll wake and rub my eyes,
and in that land beyond the skies you'll find me.
I'll be a laughing daffodil
and leave the silly cares that fill
my mind behind me.
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Complete Lyrics from the Original Sheet Music
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
and the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway,
there's a rainbow highway to be found,
Leading from your window pane.
To a place behind the sun,
Just a step beyond the rain.
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby,
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 then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
why oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
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 then oh why can't I?
oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly, beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?
Meet me tonight in dreamland,
Under the silv'ry moon.
Meet me tonight in dreamland,
Where love's sweet roses bloom.
Come with the love light gleaming
In your dear eyes of blue.
Meet me in dreamland,
Sweet, dreamy dreamland,
There let my dreams come true.
Meet me tonight in dreamland,
Under the silv'ry moon.
Meet me tonight in dreamland,
Where love's sweet roses bloom.
Come with the love light gleaming
In you dear eyes of blue.
Meet me in dreamland,
Sweet, dreamy dreamland,
There let my dreams come true.
when you walk through a storm
keep your chin up high
and don't be afraid of the dark
at the end of a storm
is a golden sky and the sweet
silver song of the lark
walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain
may your dreams be
tossed and blown
walk on, walk on
with hope in your heart
and you'll never walk alone
you'll never walk alone
repeat
Who, stole my heart away
Who, makes me dream all day
Dreams I know can never come true
Seems as though I'll ever be blue
Who, means my happiness
Who, would I answer yes to
No one, but you!
A woman's intentions, her femine inventions
A seldom if ever defined
And I am no different, why should I be different?
I simply can't make up my mind
How can I solve this situation
Except by the process of elimination
Oh...
Repeat Chorus
Can it be, can it be, who can it be?
You'll never guess who has stolen my heart away Dreamin' dreams I know
Can never come true...
Seems as though
I'll never be blue!
Oh who, means my happiness
Who, would I answer yes to
Well you oughta guess who, who...
No one but you!
Verse:
I was just lonely melisande,
Pity, pity me.
Came a little wizard,
waved his wand,
Dreamed you up for me
Now i feel a tingle
each time i glimpse
your face go dreaming by;
Proving the heart is quicker than the eye
Chorus:
When I look at you,
I hear lovly music,
can it be my heart that sings?
when I look at you,
I look at an angel,
tell me where you’ve parked your wings
dizzy me, silly moon
crazy quilt of a sky
are you real, or a dream
that got caught in my eye?
When I look at you,
I im looking at rainbows.
Stars come tumbling down from above,
and im in love with you my love.

Don't fly away, come along quick,
South where the breezes blow.
Leave this storm land,
Come away to a warm land.
Pack up, fly away, learn an old trick
All of the wise guys know.
Headin' to the south you can't miss it,
Let me be explicit.
When you see blue skies and fields of white
And the sun is shinin' bright,
Yes, sir! That's the good old sunny south.
When you hear that same old robin sing
That you heard up north in spring,
Yes, sir! That's the good old sunny south.
Where your heart wants to play
And your feet want to dance,
Where the close of each day
brings a night of romance.
Where you meet those gals that sweetly drawl,
"Mighty glad to meet you all."
Yes, sir! That's the good old sunny south.
(musical interlude, punctuated by Baby's "Yes, sir!")
Where you meet those gals that sweetly drawl,
"Mighty glad to meet you all."
Yes, sir! That's the good old sunny south.
All night long he calls her snookey ookum, snookey ookums.
All they do is talk like babies.
She's his jelly elly roll.
He's her sugey ugar bowl.
Here's the way they bill and cool, poogywoo,poogywoo?
All night long he calls her snookey ookums, snookey ookums.
All nigh long the neighbors shout "Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out!"
They cry, "For goodness sake don't keep us all awake with your snookey, ookey, ookey , baby talk!"
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
till I say to myself
get ahold of yourself!
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.
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
hasn't a ghost of a chance
in this crazy romance,
you go to my head.
Writer(s): Porter
This was sung in the legendary concert "Judy Frank and Dean"
I was mighty blue
Thought my life was through
'Til the heavens opened
And I gazed at you
Won't you tell me, dear
Why, when you appear,
Something happens to me
And the strangest feeling goes through me?
You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
You have the power to hypnotize me?
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
That nobody else could do

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
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you
If you suddenly find out you've been deceived
Don't get peeved
If your husband bluntly tells you you're too stout
Don't you pout
And for heaven's sake retain a calm demeanor
When a cop walks up and hands you
a subpoena
If the groom should take a powder
While you're marching down the isle
Don't weep and moan because he's blown
Just face the world and smile
'Cause when you're cryin' don't you know
That your makeup starts to run
And your eyes get red and scrappy
Forget your troubles have yourself a little fun
Have a ball
Forget it all
Forget your troubles
C'mon get happy
Keep on smilin'
'Cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
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.
When You're Smiling, When you're Smiling
The Whole World, Smiles with you!
When you wore a tulip,
A sweet, yellow tulip,
And I wore a big red rose.
When you caressed me,
'Twas then Heaven blessed me,
Such a blessing no one knows.
You made life cheery
When you called me dearie,
'Twas down where the blue grass grows.
Oh, it was sweeter than julep
When you wore a tulip,
And I wore a big red rose.
*HANNA*
When the midnight choo choo leaves for Alabam'
*DON*
Alabam', Alabam'
*HANNA*
I'll be right there.
*DON*
Where'll you be, where'll you be?
*HANNA*
I've got my fair
*DON*
Show it to me, Show it to me
*HANNA*
When I see that rusty haired conductor man
*DON*
What'll you do, What'll you do
*HANNA*
I'll grab him by the collar and I'll holler "Alabam'! Alabam'!"
*DON*
Pow!
*HANNA*
That's where you stop your train, that brings me back again
Down home where I'll remain, where my honey lamb am.
I will be right there with bells, when that old conductor yells,
"All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for Alabam'"
*BOTH
I will be right there with bells when that old conductor yells,
"All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for Alabam'"
That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up
and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel
inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that's
caught in the tide
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name, and I'm aflame
Aflame with
such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire
You are the lover that I've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down I go,
all around I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
We're a couple of swells
We stop at the best hotels
But we prefer the country far away from the city smells
We're a couple of sports
The pride of the tennis courts
In June, July and August we look cute when we're dressed in shorts
The Vanderbilts have asked us up for tea
We don't know how to get there, no siree
No, siree
We would drive up the Avenue, but we haven't got the price
We would skate up the Avenue, but there isn't any ice
We would ride on a bicycle, but we haven't got a bike
So we'll walk up the Avenue
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue
And to walk up the Avenue's what we like
Wall Street bankers are we
With plenty of currency
We'd open up the safe but we forgot where we put the key
We're the favorite lads
Of girls in the picture ads
We'd like to tell you who we kissed last night but we can't be cads
The Vanderbilts are waiting at the club
But how are we to get there, that's the rub
That's the rub
We would sail up the Avenue, but we haven't got a yacht
We would drive up the Avenue, but the horse we had was shot
We would ride on a trolley car but we haven't got the fare
So we'll walk up the Avenue
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue till we're there
We would swim up the Avenue but we haven't any lake
So we'll walk up the Avenue
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue
Yes, a walk up the Avenue's what we'll take
*ESTHER*
Down in the jungles lived a maid
Of royal blood though dusky shade
*TOOTIE*
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu
*ESTHER*
From Matabooloo
*TOOTIE*
And every morning he would be
Down underneath the bamboo tree
*ESTHER*
A Waitin' there his love to see
*TOOTIE*
And then to her he's sing
*BOTH*
To her he'd sing
If you like-a me, like I like-a you and we like-a both the same
I like-a say this very day, I like-a change your name.
'Cause I love-a you and lov-a you true and if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree
It was going pop
And it couldn't stop
Now it's number one,
Thanks to Tom the piper's Son.
Tom, Tom, the piper's Son
Stole a tune and away he run
And away run he
With that melody
Tom was hot, the tune was sweet
But he revamped it with a new off-beat
And the classic thing,
Got a shot of swing
Mr. Brahms cried och!
So did Mozart and Bach
And to hear them rave
Paginini tumbled over in his grave
And now that tune, that no one played
Has stepped right up and hit the hit parade
It was growing pop
And it couldn't, STOP!
Now it's number one thanks to Tom the piper's son.
Chorus with swing ;)
Tom was hot, the tune was sweet
But he vamped it with a boogie beat
And the classic thing,
Got a shot of swing
Beethoven turned gray
So did Debussy and Bose
It was such a stew
Tchaikovsky said "I'm gonna sue!"
And now that tune, that no one played
Has stepped right up and hit the hit parade
It was growing pop and it couldn't, stop...
Now it's number one thanks to Tom the piper's son.
Ev'ry Little Movement
Ev'ry little movement,
Has a meaning of it's own
Ev'ry thought and feeling,
By some posture can be shown.
And ev'ry love thought
That comes a stealing
All your being Must be revealing
All it's sweetness In some appealing little gesture
All of it's own.
This is it, my great romance
I want to hang on to this one big chance
You're mine, my loneliness dies
I feel fine, with stars in my eyes
Oh, it fills me up to such a height
To know this is so very real and right
And I, thought love passed me by
But I must admit this is it!
Repeat last verse
This is it, this is it, this is it...
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's, almost like being In Love
There's a smile on my face,
For the whole Human race
Why it's, almost like being In Love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I could tell I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love
It's almost, it's almost...
But this can't be love,
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love, I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the sky
My heart does not stand still
Hear it beat, this too sweet
To be love
This can't be love,
Because I feel so well
And yet I love to love
Glad I'm alive
Love to live, think I'll survive
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way, that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I could tell I was falling
I would swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love...
Almost like being in love!
Oh, paddy dear and did you hear
The news that's going 'round
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on Irish ground
Saint Patrick's name no more you'll hear
His colors can't be seen
They've gone and passed a law against
The wearing of the green
Sure I looked to neighbor Tandy
And he took me by the hand
And he said how's dear old Ireland
And how does she stand?
It's a most distressful country
That ever you have seen
They're hanging men and woman
For the wearing of the green
Repeat first two verses
Men and women,
For the wearing of the green.
Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my
Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up North will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore.
Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee.
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home.
I love ya!
Swanne, how i love ya, how i love ya.
my dear old swanne
i'd give the world if i could only be,
sittin' on my mammy's knee.
i love the young folks,
i love the old folks.
Oh! my honey you'll love them all in allabamy,
Mammy! mammy,
my dear old mammy.
your wondering child, will wonder no more.
When i get to that.
Swanne!-shore!
With my high-starched collar and my high-top shoes,
And my hair piled high upon my head,
I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley and lost my heart instead.
With his light brown derby and his bright green tie,
He was quite the handsomest of men,
I started to yen so I counted to ten
Then I counted to ten again.
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley,
Ding, ding, ding went the bell,
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings,
From the moment I saw him I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Bump, bump, bump went the break,
Thump, thump, thump wnet my heartstrings,
When he smiled I could feel the car shake.
He tipped his hat and took a seat,
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet.
He asked my name, I held my breath,
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Flop, flop, flop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings,
As he started to go then I started to know
How it feels,
When the universe reels.
The day was bright, the air was sweet,
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet,
You tried to sing but couldn't sqeak,
In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak.
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Flop, flop, flop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings,
As he started to leave,
I took hold of his sleeve with my hand,
And as if it were planned.
He stayed on with me
And it was grand just to stand
With his hand holding mine
To the end of the line.
We're going east, our work has ceased
We're all set for Yale to say the least
We're out to win, so lets begin now
We're from the west, we'll never rest
Till we show our world our team's the best
We'll sweep the land, we'll show 'em and how
The Texas Tornado is coming your way so everybody step aside
The Texas Tornado is funny that way, so everybody better hide
This devastatin' gale is headed straight for Yale
Won't it be great to sail into town?
We'll overour the foe, we'll knock 'em for a goal
And then we'll score a touchdown
There's no one in Texas who really suspects us
Coming home without that game
The whole state of Texas sincerely expects us
Getting in the hall of fame
Yale's pigskin sack is the crackerjack
But we'll bring it home without fail
The Texas Tornado is coming your way
So everybody step aside, better hide, Yale!
Perhaps it was something that hit me, perhaps it was something I ate,
But out of the blue I dreamed I met you and you said to me, "Hi, ya Gate!"
Millions have heard you play Chopin, the critics applaud and approve,
But millions more would simply adore to hear you get in the groove.
You won't believe it, you'll think it's a dream
To hear them riffing it, right on the beam,
But when you hear trumpets give out a call, you'll know
The Joint Is Really Jumpin' down at Carnegie Hall
Instead of Strauss they play Irving Berlin,
Instead of Brahms it's "Begin the Begin"
Those classic ackies are due for a fall since
The Joint Is Really Jumpin' down at Carnegie Hall
They're playing
Ta-tlee-a-ti, Ta-tlee-a-ti, with Shostakovich,
Ta-tlee-a-ti, Ta-tlee-a-ti, Mozart and Bach,
Ta-tlee-a-ti, Ta-tlee-a-ti, and they don't know which,
'Cause anything can happen when they start to rock.
The philharmonic was so dignified
But now they're groovy and starting to ride,
Handel and Haydn are facing the wall
'cause The Joint Is Really Jumpin' down in Carnegie Hall.
They-hey swing ev'rything with a ding dong
And when the Maestro gives them a beat, it's a
Reet Beat that starts 'em to toot with a
Root Toot that's a bit of alright,
and even Jose Iturbi getting hep, he's hep, he's hep.
Boy!
Tschai-Tschai-Tschai-kovsky would really be hurt
to hear 'em jivin' his Piano Concert,
Beethoven's lucky, he can't hear at all
because the Joint Is Really Jumpin' down at Carnegie Hall.
DOROTHY: Did you just hear what I just heard?
LION: That noise don't come from no ordinary bird.
DOROTHY: It may be just a cricket , or a critter in the trees.
TIN MAN: It's giving me the jitters, in the joints around my knees.
SCARECROW: I think I see a jijik, and he's fuzzy and he's furry.
I haven't got a brain but I think I ought to worry.
TIN MAN: I haven't got a heart, but I got a palpitation.
LION: As Monarch of the forest, I don't like the sitchy-ation
DOROTHY: Are you gonna stand around and let him fill us full of horror?
LION: I'd like to roar him down, but I think I lost my roarer.
TIN MAN: It's a whozis.
SCARECROW: It's a whosis?
LION: It's a whatzis.
SCARECROW: It's a whatzis?
TIN MAN: Whozat?
LION: Whozat?
DOROTHY (singing chorus):
Who's that hiding,
In the tree top?
It's that rascal
The Jitterbug.
Should you catch him buzzin' round you,
Keep away from the Jitterbug.
Oh, the bats and the bees
And the breeze in the trees
Have a terrible, horrible buzz.
But the bats and the bees
And the breeze in the trees
Couldn't do what the Jitterbug does.
So be careful Of that rascal
Keep away from
The Jitterbug!
Don’t know why
There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can’t get my poor self together
I’m weary all the time... the time...
So weary all the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away
Old rocking chair’ll get me
All I do is pray
That the lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more...
Can’t go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time
I walk around heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around, and I'm still feelin' bad
Rain pourin' down, blinding every hope I had
This pitterin', patterin', beatin' and splatterin'
Dri-ives me mad!
Love! love...
Love! love...
This misery... is just... too much... for me...
Can’t go on!
Everything I had is gone!
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time
I never will forget, Mmmm...Jeanette MacDonald
Just to think of her, it gives my heart a pang
I never will forget, how that brave Jeanette
Just stood there in the ruins and sang, and sang...
San Francisco, open your golden gate
You'll let nobody wait outside your door
San Francisco, here is your wanderin' one
Saying I'll wander no more.
Other places only make me love you best
Tell me you're the one in all the golden west
San Francisco, I'm coming home again
Never to roam again...
San Francisco, right when I arrive
I really come alive...
And you will laugh to see me,
Perpendicular, hanging on a cable car
San Francisco, let me beat my feet
Up and down Market Street
I'm gonna climb Nob Hill, just to watch it get dark
From the top of the mark
There's Brooklyn Bridge, London Bridge,
And the Bridge of San Louis Rey
But the only bridge, that's a real gone bridge,
Is the bridge accross the bay
San Francisco, I'm coming home again,
Never to roam again, by gum
San Francisco, I don't mean Frisco
San Francisco, here I come!
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 their going
And for weeks they've been sewing
Every Suzie and Sal
They're congregating
for me and my gal
The parson's waiting
for me and my gal
And sometime I'm going to build
A little home for two
for three or four or more
In Loveland, for me and my gal
Rock a bye, your baby,
with a dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a tune,
from the heart of dixie.
Just hang my cradle, mammy mine,
right on that masoned, dixen line.
And swing it from virginia, to tennese,
with all the love that's in ya.
Weep no more, my lady,
sing that song again, for me.
Sing on black joe,just as though,
you have me on your knees.
A Million baby kisses, i'll deliver,
if you will only play that swanee river.
Rock a bye your rock a bye baby,
with a dixie melody.
OH!!Weep no more, my lady,
sing that song again, for me.
Sing on black joe,just as though,
you have me on your knees.
A Million baby kisses, i'll deliver,
if you will only play that swanee river.
Rock a bye your rock a bye baby,
with a dixie melody!
Twas on a bright morning in Summer
When I first heard his voice spakin' low
As he said to a colleen beside him
"Who's that pretty girl milking her cow?"
Och many times often ye met me
And told me that I should be
You darling, Acushla,
A Lana Mavourneen, Asuilish machree
Purty girl, purty girl,
With no on there to show her how
The purt, purt, purty girl is now
Milking her cow
I have not the manners or graces
Of the girls in the world where ye move
And I have not their beautiful faces
But oh, I've a heart that can love
And if it please ye, I'll dress me in satin
With jewels, jewels in me brow
But och, don't be after forgettin'
Your purty girl milking her cow
Purty girl, purty cow,
I'm sure this song would have never been wrote
If the pretty girl hadda been milking her goat
But the goat wasn't feeling well anyhow
So the pretty girl was milking her cow.
Her cow, her cow...
La, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la la, la, la, la La, la, la, la
A purty girl milking her cow!
Poor you
Poor you, I'm sorry you're not me,
for you will never know what loving you can be.
Poor you, you'll never know your charms,
You'll never feel your warmth,
you're never in your arms.
When it is you I'm kissing,
I pity you constantly,
You don't know what you're missing,
For you're only kissing poor me.
Poor you, you live your whole life through,
And yet you'll never know the thrill of loving you.
Musical intermission
When it is you I'm kissing ,
I pity you constantly ,
you don’t know what your missing for your only kissing poor me
poor you ,you live your whole life through
and never know what loving you can be
Here we are, two very bewildered people
Here we are, two babes that are lost in the wood
We're not quite certain what has happened to us
This lovely thing that's so marvelous
But right from here, the future looks awfully good.
Our love affair was meant to be
It's me for you dear, and you for me
We'll fuss and quarrel
And tears start to brew
But after the tears, our love will smile through
I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side
And when we're older, we'll proudly declare
"Wasn't ours a lovely love affair?"
I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side
And when we're older, we'll proudly declare
"Wasn't ours a lovely love affair?"
Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that 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 those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid 'cause this rover, crossed over
If I never had a cent I'll be as rich as Rockfeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street
With those blues on parade
Because this rover, it crossed over
If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockfeller
With that gold dust 'round my feet
On the sunny side of the street
On the side, at that side of the street that is sunny
*PINKIE*
There's a road that leads to happiness,
I know we can find it.
Although it's full of hills an spills, darling, we won't mind it.
I've got you, You've got me who cares how rough the road might be,
We'll go bumpty-bumpty bumpty-bump on the bumpy road to love.
Remember this when anything goes wrong,
Remember this we'll merrily roll along.
We'll get rich or we won't, but who cares whether we do or don't
We'll go bumpty-bumpty bumpty-bump on the bumpy road to love.
Hi-ho whadda we car. We're on our way but we don't know where.
We'll go bumpty-bumpty bumpty-bump on the bumpy road to love
Let's all join in and sing this tune, Dottie, Buzz, and Danny Boom
We'll go bumpty-bumpty bumpty-bump on the bumpy road to love
We'll never need a silver lining for we'll never ever have a cloud
Give three cheers for four Musketeers!
*DOTTIE
Only four?
*PINKIE*
Just four
*BUZZ
Just four?
*PINKIE*
No more, for five would be a crowd, yes!
*BUZZ
Rah-rah-rah!
*DOTTIE
Sis-boom-ba
*BILLIE*
Hey diddle diddle
*PINKIE*
And Oo-la-la. We'll go bumpty-bump, bumpty-bump, we'll go bumpty-bump on the
bumpty-bump on the bumpy road to love.
*ALL*
Hail! Hail! The gangs all here!
*PINKIE*
Home sweet home is in the rear. Bumpty, bumpty, bumpty bump on the bumpy road
to love.
Oceans apart and with only the blue between
Since we're apart
I'm yearning
I tell my heart
we must wait for another dawn
when he may be returning
How I regret the night he sailed for another shore
Will he come into sight to leave my arms no more?
I'll kiss him again
He'll know right from the very start
that we were never meant to be oceans apart
Oceans apart and with only the blue between us
Since we're apart
I'm yearning
I'll kiss him again
He'll know right from the very start
that we were never meant to be oceans apart.
(Chorus)
It's the same old song they sing,
I love you!
The boys are all mad about Nellie,
daughter of officer Kelly.
And it's all day long they bring
flowers all dripping with dew.
And they join in the chorus of Nellie Kelly,
I love you!
(Repeat Chorus)
Dance with me!
You know I'd adore it with...
Dance with me!
I'm thrilled to death o'r it...
Dance with me!
I've been waiting for it with you!
It's a lovely night when we are dancing together.
It's a lovely night but the forecast says stormy weather.
All of you,
I'd like to be dancing with
All of you,
Perhaps be romancing with
All of you,
It would be entrancing,
that's true!
But it isn't quite fair to the rest,
so if you will all line up abreast,
I will dance with the one I like best.
(Repeat Chorus)
I've read your pretty speaches
And I must admit they touched my heart
I don't know where you borrow them
But most of them are works of art
No school boy with his Valentines
Was ever more sincere
I've tried to read between the lines
To make the meaning clear
But there's a little voice that whispers
Softly, as I fall asleep:
"You better look before you leap."
My intuition says to me,
Don't ever give your heart away
And so I simply must obey my intuition
My intuition says to me
Those pretty words may not be true
So what am I supposed to do in my position?
I'd like to trust my heart
Believe in just my heart
But it is much too young to know
So though it may be bad advice
I guess I'll have to string along
Until you prove my intuition
Can be wrong.
My intuition goes like this:
I'm playing poker with a bunch
And all at once I get a hunch
That's intuition
I'm playing aces back to back
And I can see a pair of kings
But if there's one more of those things
What's my position?
Well, if you get the cards
Then you should bet the cards
At least, that's what I've always heard
You have your hunch, I'll have mine
Suppose we both we both just string along
Until we prove our intuition can be wrong.
Merry Christmas,
Have a very, very merry Christmas.
Dream about your hearts desire,
Christmas Eve when you retire,
Santa Claus will stop and I know he'll drop
Exactly what you wanted from your chimney top.
So be jolly,
Have a holiday as gay as holly.
May the ones you love be near you
With the laugh of friends to cheer you.
When the church bells ring,
Like the angels sing,
And you hear the joyful hymn they chime,
Hang a wish from me on your Christmas tree
For a very merry Christmas time.
(repeat)
When Louis came home to the flat,
He hung up his coat and his hat,
He gazed all around
But no wifey he found
So he said "Where can Flossy be at"
A note on the table he spied
He read it just once then he cried
It read 'Louis dear it's toos low for me here
So I think I will go for a ride Oh
Meet me in St. Louis, Louis
Meet me at the fair,
Don't tell me the lights are shining
Any place but there
We will dance the hoochie koochie
I will be your tootsie wootsie
If you will meet me in st. Louis, Louis,
Meet me at the fair
(Company)
*Meet me in st. Louis, Louis
Meet me at the fair
Don't tell me the lights are shining
Any place but there*
We will dance the hoochie koochie
I will be your tootsie wootsie
If you will meet me in St. Louis, Louis
Meet me at the fair
There's a pirate, known to fame
Black Macocco was the Pirate's name
In his day, the tops was he
Round the Caribbean or Caribbean Sea
When he sites a clipper ship
Mack would board her and begin to clip
First he'd grab, the ladies fair
Especially those with jewels,
Those with jewels to spare!
Especially those with jewels,
Those with jewels to spare.
Especially those with jewels,
Especially those with jewels,
Those with jewels to spare!
With his ladies and his loot,
Next Macocco from the ship would scoot
Then he'd set the ship afire...what a pretty funeral
Funeral pyre!
Mack the Black, what a pretty funeral,
Mack the Black, marvelous funeral pyre!
Though the years this black Macocco
Lead his pirate reign
His claim to fame was as black as his name
All around the Spanish Maine.
When he'd a make his daily rounds
Gals would trail him like a pack of hounds
Ev'ry night he'd have a date Ladies go to pieces,
Over Pieces of eight.
Hey!
Sleep my baby, baby sleep
Time for babe to be in slumber deep
If you wake or cry or laugh
Mack the Black will whack ya
And he'll whack ya in half!
Mack the black will really whack
Mack the black will whack ya!
Mack the black would really have to
Whack ya in half!
Mack the Black will really whack ya,
Mack the Black will whack ya!
Mack the black will whack ya
And he'll whack ya!
Aaaaaah! Mack was ruthless,
Mack was feared
Perhaps it's better that he disappeared
Yet I know, that he was bad
I could fall in love with,
Fall in love with the lad!
Evening star, if you see Mack
Stop his wanderings and guide him back
I'll be waiting, patiently
By the Caribbean or Caribbean Sea.
Is that the Caribbean Sea?
And if I met this famous pirate
Met him face to face
You think I'd run and hide my head
And scream around the place
Why no I'd just sashay around
Displaying all my charms
And soon I'd have him walk the plank
Right into my arms
That's what I think of Mack the Black Macocco!
I'm sitting on top of this great big wonderful world,
cos this is my lucky day, lucky day
Oh boy I'm lucky
I'll say I'm lucky
This is my lucky day!
I'm all in clover
I'm glad all over
I wanna shout, "horray!"
I find a horseshoe
Couldn't go wrong
And then of course
You happened along
Oh, boy I'm lucky
I'll say I'm lucky
This is my lucky day!
Repeat
Liza, Liza
Skies are gray
But when you smile at me
All the clouds'll roll away
Liza, Liza
Don't delay
Come keep me company
And the clouds'll roll away
See the honey moon is shinin' down
We should make a date
With Parson Brown
Oh, my Liza
My Liza
Name the day
Cause you belong to me
And the clouds have rolled away
In Havana every Cubana shakes her bandana to the La Conga.
It's a new dance, something new to dance
Wait till you dance to the La Conga.
Wait till you hear the beat of the bonga.
Just get that beat and you get the Conga.
It delights you and it excites you and it invites you to do the La Conga.
In Buenos Aires and London and Paris they Tango.
In old Vienna their favorite has long been a waltz.
In Wiakill in Madrid and Seville they Fandango.
But in Havana all the maidens go 1, 2, 3, Boom,
1, 2, 3, boom, 1, 2, 3, boom 1, 2, 3, boom.
In Hava-vana every Cubana shakes her bandana to the La Conga.
It's a new dance, something new to dance
Wait till you dance to the La Conga.
The La Cong...of the Bonga. ya da da get the Conga
Do ya ralla do ya ralla ralla da do do do Conga.
It delights you and it excites you and it invites you to do the La Conga.
Conga, Conga
Now you know the La Conga (Dance Break)
1, 2, 3, boom! (Dance Break)
Conga, Conga, Conga,
Now you know the Conga! Conga! Boom!
Just in time
I found you just in time
Before you came my time was running low
I was lost
The losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed
No where to go
Now you're here
And now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fear
I've found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lucky day
Just in time
I found you just in time
Before you came my time was running low
I was lost
The losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed
No where to go
Now you're here
And now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fear
I've found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely day
Hey, you came along
I mean you came along
And changed my life that lucky day
Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy,
They're laughing just like hungry dogs in the street,
Policemen are hiding behind the skirts of little girls,
Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat.
No, no no no, no no no no no no no no,
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Catholic schoolgirls have thrown away their mascara,
They chain themselves to the axles of big Mack trucks,
The sky is filled with hurt and shivering angels,
The fat lady lives! Children, start your trucks!
No, no no no, no no no no no no no no,
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave.
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen...
It's so lovely to be back again in London
I've a glow inside
I simply can't conceal
If I seem too sentimental
It isn't accidental
It's just that that's exactly how I feel
When the tourists crowd the gates
Outside the palace
You may rest assured that I will lead the pack
And should the queen ride by me
I'd holler 'Och! Cor blimey!'
I'm so glad I'm back
Every day I'll make my way down Piccadilly
And I'll shout 'Hello!' to every Joe and Jack
Just to feel the feel of London
I always come all undone
But so glad
So glad
I'm back
Susan: I bought a bonnet to suit my face
I had my petticoat trimmed with lace
I looked at the mirror, around I twirled
And then I went out in the wide, wide World
I dreamed of gentlemen I would meet
I saw them all kneeling at my feet
I can't understand it, my hair is all curled
But my goodness me, it's a great big World
And it's a cold, cold, cold and we'll soon be old
Alas and a lack, it's a great big World.
I learned to sew and I learned to bake
I even frosted an angel cake
On saturday evening, when folks dropped in
My house was as neat as a brand new pin
I thought by learning each social grace
A chap might learn to forget my face
I can't understand it, I've knitted and pearled
But my goodness me it's a great big World!
And it's a cold, cold, cold and we'll soon be old
Alas and a lack, it's a great big World.
I had no petticoat trimmed with lace
My angel cake was a sure disgrace
My face was my fortune, my Mother said
And my dancing slippers of bright, bright red.
A million miles I've danced or more
In hopes Prince Charming would cross the floor
I can't understand it, I've waltzed and I've whirled
But my goodness me, it's a great big World.
And it's a cold, cold, cold and we'll soon be old
Alas and a lack, it's a great big World.
Repeat chorus
But I'll keep on knitting and doing it well
My slippers are one thing I never will sell
My petticoat's waiting, because who can tell?
It's a great big World, it's a great big World.
It only happens when I dance with you,
That trip to heaven 'till the dance is through,
With no one else do the heavens seem quite so near,
Why does it happen dear,
Only with you?
Two cheeks together can be so divine,
But only when those cheeks are yours and mine,
I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through,
But the thrill that comes with spring when anything could happen,
That only happens with you.
I've been searching through rains
And the wind that follows after
For one certain face
And an unforgotten laughter
I've been following signs
I've been searching through the lands
For a certain pair of arms
And a certain pair of hands
Yes, i tried a kiss here
And i tried a kiss there
For when you're out in company
The boys and girls will pair
But it never was you
It never was anywhere you
An occasional sunset reminded me
Or a flower hanging high on a julep tree
Or one red star hung low in the west
Or a heart-break call from a Meadow Lark's nest
Made me think for a moment
Maybe its true
I found him in the star
In the call
In the blue
But it never was you
It never was anywhere you
Anywhere, anywhere you
When white clouds go sailin'
To make my wedding gown,
Then we'll go trailin'
To the valley where the evening sun goes down.
And hidden away in the gloamin'
When leaves are turning brown,
We'll end our roaming
In the valley where the evening sun goes down.
We'll build a home in our valley there,
And watch it grow into a town.
And you can sit in your rockin' chair
And watch the evening sun go down.
The evening sun go down.
We walk on every city street
We walk in lanes where branches meet
And stars send down their blessings from the blue.
We go through storms of doubt and fear
And so we walk from year to year
Believing in each other as we do.
Bravely marching forward two by two...
Boys and girls like you and me
Walk beneath the skies
They love just as we love
With the same dream in their eyes.
Songs and kings and many things
Have their day and are gone
But boys and girls like you and me
We go on and on.
Songs and kings and many things
Have their day and are gone
But boys and girls like you and me
We go on and on.
I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the gray 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 anew
If I had you
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
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 nothin' I couldn't do
If I had you
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burnin' desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a king uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothin' I couldn't do
If I had you
Baby, if I had you
The sleepless nights - the daily fights
The quick toboggan - when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses - and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again
The broken dates - the endless waits
The lovely loving - and the hateful hates
The conversation - with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again
No more pain - no more strain
Now I'm sane - but I would rather be punch - drunk
The pulled out fur - of cat and cur
The fine mismating - of a him and her
I've learned my lesson - but I wish I were
In love again
The furtive sigh - the blackened eye
The words: "I love you - 'til the day I die"
The self deception - that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again
When love congeals - it soon reveals
The faint aroma - of performing seals
The double-crossing - of a pair of heels
I wish I were in love again
No, no more care - no, no despair
Now I'm all there (now) - but I'd rather be punchdrunk
Believe me sir - I much prefer
The classic battle - of a him and her
I don't like quiet - and I wish I were
In love again - in love again - in love again
I was born in Michigan,
and I wish and wish again
that I was back in the town where I was born.
Theres a farm in Michigan,
and I'd like to fish again,
in the river that flows beside the field of waving corn.
A lonesome soul am I...here's the reason why.
I want to go back, I want to go back, .
I want to go back to the farm..
Far away from harm, with a milk pail on my arm. .
I miss the rooster, the one that use-ter wake me up at 4am..
I think your great big cities very pretty...nevertheless
I want to be there, .
I want to see there a certain soemone full of charm. .
That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan, down on the farm.
I want to go back, I want to go back,
I want to go back to that old farm.
Far away from harm, with a milk pail on my arm.
I miss the rooster, the rooster that use-ter wake me up at 4am.
I think your great big cities very pretty...nevertheless
I want to be there,
I want to see there a certain someone full of charm.
Thats why I wish again,
that I was in Michigan, down on the farm.
I always thought that I'd prefer single-blessed-ness
Thought that I'd like to stay free
I never thought my time would come to marry,
No wedding bells for me, I've changed my mind after all,
You are the one made me fall, for...
I used to smile at all the songs that were popular,
Nothing but love in each song,
I used to think those kind of songs were foolish,
Now I admit I'm wrong.
Love songs are part of my plan, show me the minister man, for...
I never knew I could love anybody,
Honey, like I'm loving you;
I couldn't realize what a pair of eyes and a baby smile could do.
I can't sleep, I can't eat,
I never knew a single soul could be so sweet,
I never knew I could love anybody,
Honey, like I'm loving you.
I love a piano, I love a piano.
I love to hear somebody play upon a piano, a grand piano.
It simply carries me away.
I know a fine way to treat a Steinway.
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories.
And with the pedal I love to meddle.
When Padarewski comes this way.
I'm so delighted if I'm invited to hear a long haired genius play.
So you can keep your fiddle and bow.
Give me a p-i-a-n-o o o.
I love to stop right beside an upright,
or a high toned baby grand.
I love to stop right beside an upright,
or a high toned baby grand.
Days can be sunny, with never a sign,
Don't need what money can buy,
Birds in the trees sing that day full of song,
Why shouldn't we sing along?
I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot,
How do I get that way, look at what I've got.
I got rhythm, I got music,
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
I got daisys in green pastures
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don't mind him,
You won't find him 'round my door,
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams,
I got my man, who could ask for anything more ?
Who could ask for anything more?
I got rhythm, I got music,
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
I got daisys in green pastures
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don't mind him,
You won't find him, hangin' 'round my front and back door,
Who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?
I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning.
I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
But I'll find two eyes just a little bit bluer,
I'll find a heart just a little bit truer.
I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me.

I know I'm no glamour girl like Baby-- like her.
But maybe someday you'll realize that glamour isn't the only thing in this world.
If your show's a flop you'll find you can't eat glamour for breakfast.
Anyway, I might be pretty good-looking myself when I grow out of this ugly-duckling stage.
And you're no Clark Gable yourself.
But that's all right.
Don't worry about me, I'll recover.
Time is a great healer.
But in the future if we should meet again at the opera or at a ball, and
I'm dazzling in my diamonds and pearls and ermine wraps, and surrounded by lords and dukes and princes, you'll probably be sorry.
And you'll probably realize that life is just an idiot's delight.
And as I speed through the night into the abyss of oblivion, I can only say thanks - thanks for the memory.
(singing)
I'll find two eyes just a little bit bluer,
I'll find a heart just a little bit truer.
I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me.
When a dove is in love, with a doll of a dove,
He is out all night coo cooing
When the owl's on a prowl, or a femimine fowl,
He goes out all night woo wooing
Every bird and bee has it's loonacy
In the way he works his dream off
But when I feel high, here's the way that I
Like to get my kind of steam off:
Owls, hoo hoo
Others sigh
Doves coo coo
Ah, how I...
I could go on singing, til the cows come home
And the rooster starts to crow, crow, crow
When I see your eyes, I go all out
I must vocalize til you shout "enough already!"
I could go on singing, til the moon turns pink
Anything from Faust to Ink-a-dink-a-dink
Love does funny things, when it hits you this way!
Repeat Chorus
I must keep on singing, like a lark, going strong,
With my heart on the wings of a song, singing day!
Now It's your birthday
I don't know what to do
I can't give you a thunderbird
or a penthouse with a view
I can't even buy a little present
I'm much to broke I find
But there is one way
I may save the day
And I'm sure hope you won't mind
Gee, 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
< Musical Interlude >
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
I can't give you anything
I can't give you anything but love

Hey, we're gonna roll in plenty.
Spend a five or ten or twenty and those happy harvest bells are gonna chime.
Remember, neighbor, when your work for mother nature you get paid by father time!
When our Grandmas and our Grandpas where just girls and boys
The seemed to have a lot more fun than we
Their party clothes were calicos and homemade courturoys
And the big event was called a husking bee
A banjo and a fiddle and a big old fashioned barn
Was all the preparation that they made
And if they tell you otherwise, dismiss it as a yarn
Refreshments were confined to lemonade
Now you may say it抯 corny.
And I guess I must agree
But it was good enough for Grandma, it was good enough for Grandpa
And it抯 good enough for me
Hoe down! The country抯 gone Hoe Down
It抯 puttin?it抯 toe down and kickin?it抯 heels
Hoe Down. It抯 really a rare dance. A pioneer square dance
But with a new deal
One, two, swing your partner lightly. While you hold her ever so tightly
And bring your best beau down
We抮e havin?a show down and gotta make hast
Cuz hoe down抯 on it抯 way
Stand in line and do the Turkey, like a Yankee Doodle Dandy
When you turkey do it jerky, that抯 the trick, now your hoein?on down
Sashay, sashay, sashay around while your hoein?on down
Form a circle in the middle, everybody Allemande
Boys keep tempo with the fiddle and your gal in the calico gown
Whoa ho, whoa ho, whoa ho around in your calico gown
Do-si-do around, it抯 very romantic
Do-si-do
Do-si-do some more and maybe she抣l fall
Now it抯 time to do your honors
Then when you抳e done your honors, promenade the hall!
(repeat)
Hear that bluebird, up in a tree
Hear him, what a song,
Joy he's bringing, singing to me
Singing, all day long
Goodbye to skies of gray.
For I'm back home today...
All day long I jump and run about
You can always hear me shoutin' out:
"Hello bluebird!"
Got no time for blues or anything
I'm so happy, I just wanna sing:
"Hello bluebird!"
Blue skies, sun shine
Friends that are real
Old folks, sweetheart
Oh, how I feel!
I'll not go roaming like I did again
I'll stay home and be a kid again
"Hello bluebird, hello!"
All day long,
I keep singing
"Hello, I'm glad I found you, bluebird."
Make yourself at home...
No more blues,
Just because I'm happy
When I'm around you, bluebird.
No more need to roam
Up above the sun is shining
The World is ideal
I just can't describe the marvellous way
That I feel...
With nothing but the bluest skies above
What a rosie future lies ahead
Thank you, bluebird!
Happy, happy, bluebird!
Mister Bluebird, hello!
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Come on along and take a ride and look at life from the cheery side
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest
May your forty acres soon be fields of clover
Yes indeed and plant a wish with every seed and by and by
The sun and rain will make an etching
Of a million little green fingers stretching to the sky
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest
Get your rocking chairs for all your cares are over
Clap your hands and lick your chops your bumper crops are on the climb
Hey we're gonna roll in plenty spend a $5 or $10 or $20
And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime
Remember neighbor when you work for Mother Nature
You get paid by Father Time
Chicks are gonna cackle
And every burlap sack'll be full of 'tatoes and tobaccos
And dozens of different good and healthy greens
And if the weather man won't upset us
Mister you can bet us they'll be lots of crispy lettuce in your jeans
If you're into livin' find out just what livin' means
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest
May your forty acres soon be fields of clover
Go on puff your corn cob pipes
And no more gripes and no more groans
No mortgages or loans
And you won't see a trace of worrying on the face of Farmer Jones
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest
Get your rocking chairs for all your cares are over
Clap your hands and lick your chops your bumper crops are on the climb
Hey we're gonna roll in plenty spend a $5 or $10 or $20
And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime
Remember neighbor when you work for Mother Nature
You get paid by Father Time
It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's, passing by
Sometimes the cabin's gloomey and the table's bare
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Trouble's fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good, that's all I need to know
Seems like happiness, is just a thing called Joe
Repeat second verse
Little Joe, my little Joe, little Joe!

There's a star for everyone
Brightly shining in the sky
It seems to be a part of our destiny
Ev'ry night I eagerly,
Watch them all go twinkling by
But I can't seem to find the one the heavens
Assigned to me...
Friendly star, where could you be hiding
Smile for me from out of the lonely night
Friendly star, my fate needs deciding
How I need the glow of your guiding light
I know that you are near, for I am strangely dreamy
And so if you can see me from afar
Won't you kindly, light my way
Lead me to my lover, Just point him out, And whisper,
"there you are, there you are"
Then my love, you will be
Standing here, close to me
In your eyes, I will see my friendly star.

It's a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones family has a brand new heir
He's a joy, heaven-sent
And we proudly present Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
When he grows up he never will stray
With a name like the one that he's got today
When he walks down the street
Folks will say "Pleased to meet"
"Mr. Franklin D. Roosevlet Jones"
What a smile, and how he show it
He'll be happy, all day long
What a name, I'll bet he knows it
With that handle, how can he go wrong
And the folks in the town all agree
He'll be famous and famous as he can be
How can he be a dud, or a stick in the mud
When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
Go to sleep my baby, and maybe, you'll balance the budget by and by
You're a lucky baby with Franklin D. for your name
Mrs. Jones' baby boy is a welcome resident
Give him a fishing rod for a toy, he's the future president
When this rascal goes to school ABC's won't matter
Teach him plain old 'rithmatic and of course the Fireside Chatter
My friends, my friends, let's all shout Hooray!
*CHORUS*
It's a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones family has a brand new heir
*MR. TAMBO*
We'll be proud to affirm when he serves his fourth term
Just you wait and see
*CHORUS*
Yeah!
*MR. TAMBO*
He'll make history!
*CHORUS*
Yeah!
*ALL
'Cuz he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones!
Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm
That pit-a-pats through my brain;
So darn persistent,
The day isn't distant
When it'll drive me insane.
Comes in the morning
Without any warning,
And hangs around me all day.
I'll have to sneak up to it
Someday, and speak up to it.
I hope it listens when I say:
Refrain:
Fascinating Rhythm,
You've got me on the go!
Fascinating Rhythm,
I'm all a-quiver.
When a mess you're making!
The neighbours want to know
Why I'm always shaking
Just like a flivver.
Each morning I get up with the sun -
Start a-hopping,
Never stopping -
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,
On won't you stop picking on me?
I hear tell there's a stranger in the Jones
household
(yes siree, yes siree)
That's what I'm told
I hear tell there's a new arrival six days old
(yes siree, yes siree)
Worth his weight in gold
Come right in
And meet the son
Christening's done
Time to have some fun
(yes siree, yes siree, yes siree)
Yes siree, yes siree
It's a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones family has a brand new heir
He's the joy heaven sent
And they proudly present
Mister Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
When he grows up he never will stray
With a name like the one that he's got today
As he walks down the street folks will say
"Pleased to meet,
Mister Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones"
What a smile and how he shows it
He'll keep happy all day long
What a name, I bet he knows it
With that handle how can he go wrong?
And the folks in the town all agree
He'll be famous, as famous as he can be
How can he be a dud or a stick in the mud
When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones?
(yes siree, yes siree, yes siree)
Cause he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones.
The moment I saw him smile
I knew he was just my style
My only regret
Is we've never met
Though I dream of him all the while
But he doesn't know I exist
No matter how I may persist
So it's clear to see
There's no hope for me
Though I live at fifty-one thirty-five Kensington Avenue
And he lives at fifty-one thirty-three
How can I ignore
The boy next door
I love him more than I can say
Doesn't try to please me
Doesn't even tease me
And he never sees me glance his way
And though I'm heart-sore
The boy next door
Affection for me won't display
I just adore him
So I can't ignore him
The boy next door
I just adore him
So I can't ignore him
The boy next door
Never saw you look quite so pretty before,
Never saw you dress quite so handsome, what's more
I can hardly wait to keep our date, this lovely Easter morning,
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door.
For...
In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'd be the grandest fellow in the Easter parade,
I'll be all in clover and when they look us over,
We'll be the proudest couple in the Easter parade.
On the avenue, 5th Avenue,
The photographers will sanp us,
And you'll find that you're in the Rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet, about your Easter bonnet,
And of the guy I'm taking to the Easter Parade.
On the avenue, 5th 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,
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade.
There's a boy down on our street
Plays the drums with such a beat
You cannot control your feet
When you hear the drummer boy!
In the morning when you wake
You can hear him take a break
Soon the whole street starts to shake
When you hear they hear the drummer boy!
Bing bang, ding dang
He's so nimble on the symbol
Bing bong, ding dong
When he plays 'em he just slays 'em!
All your troubles fly away
Every day's a happy day
Everything will be OK
When you hear the drummer boy play!
Gather round, all you chums
Watch this cat, spin those drums
Swing it Brother, beat that hyde!
Take that song and jive it right!
This is what the Doc perscribes,
For a case of jibs and jives
Drummer boy please give out on those vibes
Hear that, drummer boy play!
I'm tired of the noise and hurly-burly
that fills the city late and early.
I long to hear the music of the used-to-be
that mother nature made for me.
I want to wander where the skies are blue,
where birds are singing all the long day through,
the music that I love to listen to
down on melody farm.
The cowbells tinkle in the early morn.
the bees are buzzin' 'round a field of corn,
to tell me that another song is born
down on melody farm.
The lazy river is drifting along
while daffodils dance on a hill
and while it's drifting it composes a song
to a water lily.
The morning sings the golden melody,
the evening brings the moonlight symphony,
for all the world is wrapped in harmony
down on melody farm.
I'm gonna pack my bag,
I'm gonna clear my brain,
and then I'm gonna buy a one-way ticket
on the fastest choo-choo train.
I'm gonna try to find
a little peace of mind.
I wanna leave the sound of rivets
and the horns of taxis way behind.
I want to run through the fields of the new-mown hay
and at the close of day
let me stray
where I hear the organ playing.
Just a song at twighlight
when the lights are low.
I wanna go,
I wanna go
I wanna be a little country girl in calico.
The morning sings the golden melody,
the evening brings the moonlight symphony,
for all the world is wrapped in harmony
down on melody farm.
I was talking to the mockingbird
He says you are the worst he's heard.
Bob White! What ya gonna swing tonight?
I was talking to the whipporwill
He says you've got a corny trill.
Bob White! What ya gonna swing tonight?
Even the owl, threw in the towel
After you sang the gato!
And the flamingo Hollared by jingo!
What a vibrato!
There's a lotta talk about you, Bob!
And they're saying you're "off the cob."
Fake it, Mister B
Take it, follow me!
Bob White!
We're gonna break it out tonight!
Last night, as I lay a sleeping,
A wonderful dream came to me.
I saw Uncle Sammy weeping
For his children from over the sea;
They had come to him, friendless and starving,
When from tryrant's oppression they fled,
But now they abuse and revile him,
Till at last in just anger he said:
If you don't like your Uncle Sammy,
Then go back to your home o'er the sea,
To the land from where you came,
Whatever be its name,
But don't be ungrateful to me!
If you don't like the stars in Old Glory,
If you don't like the Red, White and Blue,
Then don't act like the cur in the story,
Don't bite the hand that's feeding you!
You recall the day you landed,
How I welcomed you to my shore?
When you came here empty handed,
And allegiance forever you swore?
I gathered you close to my bosom,
Of food and of clothes you got both,
So, when in trouble, I need you,
You will have to remember your oath:
If you don't like your Uncle Sammy,
Then go back to your home o'er the sea,
To the land from where you came,
Whatever be its name,
But don't be ungrateful to me!
If you don't like the stars in Old Glory,
If you don't like the Red, White and Blue,
Then don't act like the cur in the story,
Don't bite the hand that's feeding you!
Domino. Domino.
You're an angel and Heaven has lent thee!
Domino. Domino.
You're a devil designed to torment me!
When your heart must know
That I love you so,
Tell me why.
Tell me why,
Why do you make me cry Domino?
Just one look in your eyes
And I turn into fire.
Just one touch of your hand
And I melt with desire!
And it scare me that tomorrow
Someone else may take my place!
Domino. Domino.
Say you'll never no, never desert me.
Domino. Domino.
If you stay I don't care if you hurt me!
Fate has made you so.
You can't change, I know.
You can't change. Though you try
But then neither can I, Domino.
Domino! Domino!
You can't change anything that you do!
Domino! Domino!
Nothing matters if I have you!
Have some pittie on an easterner,
show a little sympathy
no one could possible could be steerner
than you have been with me,

I'll tie your shoesies, and chase you bluesies

your knees are weakish
your not a zender, you elbow bender
though you can use me
I most certainly cant use you
From the dark cafes of Paris
To the streets of Amsterdam
From the homes of old Vienna
To the shores of Uncle Sam
Wherever freedom's hope is true
Each heart cries out to you:
Don't give up, Tommy Atkins,
Be a stout fella,
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!
Keep a stiff upper lip
When you're in doubt, fella,
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!
Oh the sun's sure to smile
on your tight little isle,
So hang on to your wits
and you'll turn the blitz on Fritz,
There's a whole world behind you
shoutin' "stout fella!"
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!
(repeat)
Spoken by Mike, the bartender:
For ev'ry rose that withers and dies
Another blooms in it's stead.
A new love waits to open its eyes
After the old love is dead.
Sung by Hannah:
That sounds alright in a careless rhyme
But there's seldom a second time
Better luck next time
That could never be
Because there ain't gonna be no next time
for me - no siree
Made up my mind
To make another start
I've made my mind up but I can't make up
my heart
I'd like a new lucky day
That would be nice
But this comes just once in a lifetime
not twice
So don't say better luck next time
That can never be
Because there ain't gonna be no next time
for me.
I'll remember forever, when I was but three,
Mama, who was clever remarking to me:
"If, son, when you're grown up, you want everything nice,
I've got your future sewn up if you take this advice:
Be a clown,
Be a clown,
All the world loves a clown
Act the fool, play the calf
And you'll always have the last laugh,
Wear the cap and the bells
And you'll rate with all the great swells,
If you become a doctor, folks'll face you with dread,
If you become a dentist, they'll be glad when you're dead,
You'll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head.
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown,
All the world loves a clown
Be a crazy buffoon
And the 'demoiselles'll all swoon,
Dress in huge baggy pants
And you'll ride the road to romance,
A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace,
A barber for a beau would be a social disgrace,
They all'll come to call if you can fall on your face.
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
Be a clown,
Be a clown,
All the world loves a clown
Be the poor silly ass
And you'll always travel first class,
Give 'em quips, give 'em fun,
And they'll pay to say you're A-1,
If you become a farmer you've the weather to buck,
If you become a gambler, you'll be stuck with your luck
But jack you'll never lack if you can quack like a duck,
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown!
I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that 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
CHORUS
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and 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 through foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere.
A Fella with an Umbrella
I'm just a fella,
A fella with an umbrella,
Looking for a girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
I'm just a fella,
A fella with an umbrella,
Glad to see the skies of blue have turned into skies of gray.
Raindrops have brought us together and that's what I longed to see.
Maybe the break in the weather will prove to be a break for me.
So I'll be the fella, the fella with an umbrella,
if you'll be the girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
I met a fella,
A fella with an umbrella,
Looking for a girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
I met a fella,
A fella with an umbrella,
Waiting for the skies of blue to turn into skies of gray.
Raindrops will bring us together and that's what I long to see.
Maybe a break in the weather will prove to be a break for me.
I told the fella, the fella with the umbrella,
I could be the girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
My mama done tol' me, when I was in pigtails
My mama done tol' me, " Hon, a man's gonna sweet talk"
And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done
A man is a two-face, A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in
the night
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin, "Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle,
"Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back
th' blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
and the moon'll hide it's light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong, and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
Oh, it really wasn't my intention
To disregard convention
It was just an impulse
That had to be obeyed.
Beacon Hill behavior we've been scorning
But I'll still not go in mourning
Though my reputation
Is blemished, I'm afraid.
What's done is done
But wasn't, and isn't it, fun
Honestly, I thought you wouldn't.
Naturally, you thought you couldn't.
And probably we shouldn't.
But aren't you kind of glad we did?
Actually, it all was blameless.
(of course it was)
Nevertheless, they'll call it shameless
(I suppose)
So the lady shall be nameless
(thank you)
But aren't you kind of glad we did?
Socially, you'll be an outcast
Obviously, we dined alone
On your good name there will be doubt cast
With never a sign of any chaperone.
No matter how they may construe it
(it'll be the wrong way)
Whether or not, we have to rue it
(we will)
Whatever made us do it
Say, aren't you kind of glad we did?
Honestly, I thought I couldn't.
Naturally, I thought I wouldn't.
And probably I shouldn't.
But aren't you kind of glad we did?
Dinner was quite above suspicion
Milk in the glasses when they'd clink
Listening to a tired musician
But what is it Mrs. Grundy's going to think?
That I'm a bounder, a rounder, a cad, a Boston blighter
When speaking of me, she'll be no politer
Oh let's turn to something brighter
Whatever we did, we're glad we did
Alone
Alone with a sky of romance above.
Alone,
Alone on a night that was meant for love.
There must be someone waiting
who feels the way I do.
Whoever you are, are you, are you
Alone,
Alone on this night that we two could share.
Alone,
Alone with a kiss that could make me care.
And when you come I promise
to be your very own!
Alone,
Alone with a heart meant for you.
And when you come I promise
to be your very own!
Alone,
Alone with a heart meant for you.
Alone.
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life
Seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I could tell I was falling
I would swear I was falling
Why it's
Almost like being in love
Almost like being in love
Almost
It's almost
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs no sorrows no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spell
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Hear it beat
Isn't it too sweet
To be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
And yet I love to love
Glad I'm alive
Love to live
Think I'll survive
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
All the music of life
Seems to be
Like a bell
That is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I could tell I was falling
I would swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love
Almost like being in love
Come on and hear Come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band
Come on and hear Come on and hear

And if you want to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime
Come on and hear Come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band!
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
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
Someday, 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 you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You're gonna feel blue, and you're gonna feel sad
You're gonna feel bad
And you'll miss, and you'll miss,
And you'll miss the bestest pal you ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
But baby, think what you're doin'
I'm gonna haunt you so, I'm gonna taunt you so
It's gonna drive you to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away.
Good mornin', good mornin'!
We've danced the whole night through,
good mornin', good mornin' to you.
Good mornin', good mornin'!
It's great to stay up late,
good mornin', good mornin' to you.
When the band began to play
the sun was shinin' bright.
Now the milkman's on his way,
it's too late to say goodnight.
So, good mornin', good mornin'!
Sunbeams will soon smile through,
good mornin', my darlin', to you.
Here we are together,
a couple of stand-uppers.
Our day is done, breakfast time
starts with our supper.
Here we are together,
ah, but the best of friends must party.
So let me sing this party song
from the bottom of my hearty.
Good morning, it's a lovely morning.
Good morning, what a wonderful day.
We danced the whole night through.
Good morning, good morning to you.
I said good morning, see the sun is shinin'.
Good morning, hear the birdies sing.
It's great to stay up late.
Good mornin', good mornin' to you.
When the band began to play
the stars were shinin' bright.
Now the milkman's on his way,
it's too late to say goodnight.
Good morning, good morning!
Sunbeams will soon smile through.
Good mornin', good morning',
Good mornin', my darlin', to you!
If you're ever in a jam, here I am
If you're ever in a mess, S.O.S.
If you ever feel so happy you land in jail, I'm your bail
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgot
Ours will still be hot
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-dig-dig-dig
If you're ever down a well, ring my bell
And if you're ever up a tree just phone to me
A-yes-sir-ee
If you ever lose your teeth and you're out to dine, borrow mine
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgate
Gate?
Ours will still be great
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-chuck-chuck-chuck
If they ever black your eyes, put me wise
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose
And if they ever put a bullet through your brain, I'll complain
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgit
Ours will still be it
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-hep-hep-hep
If you ever lose your mind, I'll be kind
And if you ever lose your shirt, I'll be hurt
If you're ever in a mill and get sawed in half, I won't laugh
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships are up the crick
Ours will still be slick
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-woof-woof-woof
hep-hep-hep
a-chuck-chuck-chuck
a-dig-dig-dig
Good evening friend!
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds, in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile, through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and there'll be tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
If you'll....
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although 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....
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although 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
As sung by Judy Garland
As I wash my dishes, I'll be following a plan,
Till I see the brightness in ev'ry pot and pan.
I am sure this point of view will ease the daily grind,
So I'll keep repeating in my mind.
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.
Remember somewhere, the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you.
A heart, full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life.
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life.
As originally written by Jerome Kern,
Introduced by Marilyn Miller and Irving Fisher in the musical, Sally, 1920
and performed by Marilyn Miller in the film Sally, 1930:
Boy:
Please don't be offended if I preach to you a while,
Tears are out of place in eyes that were meant to smile.
There's a way to make your very biggest troubles small,
Here's the happy secret of it all.
Refrain:
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.
Remember somewhere, the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you.
A heart, full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life.
Girl:
As I wash my dishes, I'll be following your plan,
Till I see the brightness in ev'ry pot and pan.
I am sure your point of view will ease the daily grind,
So I'll keep repeating in my mind.
Refrain:
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.
Remember somewhere, the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you.
A heart, full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life.
Little drops of rain
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land
Little notes that sing
Little words that rhyme
Make the mighty memories
And the dreams of time
Never let a minute
Lie there on the shelf
For there may be in it
All loves life itself
Little smiles of hope
Little drops of tears
Make this thing called love
Go dancing down the years
(Instrumental)
Little drops of rain
Little rays of sun
Make the hopeful rainbow
Just you, just me
Let's find a cozy spot
To cuddle and coo
Just us, just we
I've missed an awful lot
My trouble is you
Oh, gee!
What are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination!
Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot
If I love again,
Though it’s someone new,
If I love again,
It will still be you.
In someone else's fond embrace,
I’ll close my eyes and see your face.
If I love again,
I’ll find other charms
But I’ll make believe you are in my arms.
And though my lips whisper I love you,
My heart will not be true.
I feel a song comin' on
And I'm warning ya
It's a victorious
Happy and glorious new strain!
I feel a song comin' on
It's a melody!
Full of the laughter
Of children out after the rain!
You'll hear a tuneful story
Ringin' thru ya!
Love and glory!
Hallelujah!
And now that my troubles are gone
Let those heavenly drums go on drummin'
Cause I feel a song comin' on!
I feel a song comin' on
And I'm warning ya
It's a victorious
Happy and glorious new strain!
I feel a song comin' on
It's a melody!
Full of the laughter
Of children out after the rain!
You'll hear a tuneful story
Ringin' thru ya!
Love and glory!
Hallelujah!
And now that my troubles are gone
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 cut away coat, perfect fits
Puttin' On The Ritz.
That's where each and every lulu-belle goes
Every Sunday evening with her swell beaus
Rubbin' elbows
Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks and umbrellas
In their mitts.
Puttin' On The Ritz.

"Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne! "
The snow makes teardrops on my window
The wind blows memories through my heart
And I am all alone on New Year's Eve
The time I need you most of all
The gay ones dawn their silly paper hats
And blow their stupid little horns
At midnight thy'll all be singing auld lang syne
But the sad ones sit alone before the fire
And sip a glass of lonely wine
I wish you a Happy New Year...darling
May your new love be bright and fair
I hope she'll do those special things for you
That I would do if I were there
I love the days we spent together
Before the old year lost it's shine
I'll keep that memory locked within my heart
You’re nearer, than my head is to my pillow,
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow.
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below,
Precious as the sun to the things that grow.
You’re nearer, than the ivy to the wall is,
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is.
Leave me, but when you’re away, you’ll know,
They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And, with a moon up above, it's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me
I can't recall who said it
I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say
brief instrumental
To leave your house some morning
And, without any warning
You're stopping people, shouting that love is grand
To hold a girl in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way
I've been away from you a long time.
I never thought I'd miss you so.
Somehow I feel, your love was real,
Near you I long to be.
The birds are singing, it is song time.
The banjo's strummin' soft and low.
I know that you yearn for me too,
Swanee you're calling me.
Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my
Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up North will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore.
Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee.
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home.
Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I even know my Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
The way you wear your hat,
The way you sip your tea,
The mem'ry 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 can never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love,
Still I'll always, always keep
The mem'ry of --
The way you hold your knife,
The way we danced 'til three.
The way you changed my life --
No, no! They can't take that away from me!
Oh, paddy dear and did you hear
The news that's going 'round
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on Irish ground
Saint Patrick's name no more you'll hear
His colors can't be seen
They've gone and passed a law against
The wearing of the green
Sure I looked to neighbor Tandy
And he took me by the hand
And he said how's dear old Ireland
And how does she stand?
It's a most distressful country
That ever you have seen
They're hanging men and woman
For the wearing of the green
Repeat first two verses
Men and women,
Sleigh Bells Ring, Are You Listenin'
In the Lane, Snow Is Glistenin'
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 Stroll Along
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland.
In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman
And 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've Made
What now my love?
Now that you've left me
How I can I live through another day?
Watching my dreams turn into ashes
And my hopes into bits of clay
What now my love?
Once I could feel
Now I am numb, I've become unreal
I walk the nite without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul
What now my love?
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
What now my love?
Now that its over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars tumbling round me
There's the sky where the sea should be
What now my love?
Now that you've gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live or die
What now my love?
Now there is nothing
Follow the yellow brick road,
Follow the yellow brick road,
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick
road.
Follow the rainbow over the stream,
Follow the fellow who follows a dream,
Follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow the yellow brick road.
We're Off To See The Wizard,
The wonderful Wizard of Oz.
We hear he is a Whiz of a Wiz if ever a Wiz there was.
If ever, oh ever a Wiz there was,
The Wizard of Oz is one becoz, becoz, becoz, becoz,
becoz, becoz,
Becoz of the wonderful things he does.
We're Off To See The Wizard,
The wonderful Wizard of Oz.
We're Off To See The Wizard,
The wonderful Wizard of Oz.
We hear he is a Whiz of a Wiz if ever a Wiz there was.
If ever, oh ever a Wiz there was,
The Wizard of Oz is one becoz, becoz, becoz, becoz,
becoz, becoz,
Becoz of the wonderful things he does.
We're Off To See The Wizard,
Here I go again, I hear those trumpets blow again.
All aglow again, takin' a chance on love.
Here I slide again, about to take that ride again.
Starry-eyed again, takin' a chance on love.
I thought that cards were a frame-up, I never would try.
Now I'm taking that game up and the ace of hearts is
high.
Things are mending now, I see a rainbow blending now.
We'll have a happy ending now, takin' a chance on love.
Here I slip again, about to take that trip again.
I got that grip again, takin' a chance on love.
Now I prove again that I can make life move again.
Um - I'm in the groove again, takin' a chance on love.
I walk around with a horse shoe, in clover I lie.
And brother rabbit of course you better kiss your...foot
good-bye.
On that ball again I'm ridin' for a fall again.
The night is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter,
The winds grow colder
And suddenly you're older,
And all because of the man that got away.
No more his eager call,
The writing's on the wall,
The dreams you dreamed have all
Gone astray.
The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen the final inning.
Don't know what happened.
It's all a crazy game!
No more that all-time thrill,
For you've been through the mill,
And never a new love will
Be the same.
Good riddance, good-bye!
Every trick of his you're on to.
But, fools will be fools,
And where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher,
It's lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up,
Tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no letup the live-long night and day!
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman looking for
The man that got away,
The clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that's a dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment
The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with a guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives him her all
That's entertainment
The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It can be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his father
And causes a lot of bother
The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss, who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doin' him dirt
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment
Hey!
It might be a fight like you see on the screen
A swain getting slain for the love of a queen
Some Shakespearian scene
Where a ghost and a prince meet
And everyone ends in mincemeat
The gag may be waving the flag
That began with a mystical hand
Hip hooray, the American way
The world is a stage
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin' just singin' in the rain
Why am I smilin' and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as Spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start happy
And get up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
Old man river that,
Old man river he must know something
But don't say nothing,
He just keeps rolling,
He keeps on rolling along.
You and me,
We sweat and slave bodies all aching
And racked with pain,
Tow that barge, lift that bail,
Get a little drunk and you land in jail.
I get weary,
And sick of trying I'm tired of living,
But scared of dying,
That old man river,
Whether you are here or yonder, whether you are false or
true
Whether you remain or wander, I'm growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you, even though you
don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you, give you the break you
need
More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find you're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
You need me so
Much more than you'll ever know (ever know)
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it
Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said "Good-bye"
More than I'd show
Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely
Standing on the corner feeling blue
Sweethearts out for fun
Pass me one by one
Guess I'll wind up like I always do
With only
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
When the sun sets on the far horizon
And the parlor lamps begin to glow
Jim and Jack and John
Put their slippers on
They're all set but we'restill on the go
So lonely
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
The glamour’s gone,
The shades are down
And Paris is only a lonely town
Lonely
When love’s a laugh
And you’re the clown
Then Paris is only another town
Dreary
For the loveless clown
This town’s a weary merry-go-round
And round
And round
The chestnut
The willow
The colors of Utrillo
Turn to gray, gray hues
The band playing Bizet
Along the Champs-Élysées
Sounds like way-down blues
Paris is a lonely
Dreary
Oh, so lonely town
Where’s that shining flower ‘neath the Eiffel Tower?
Where’s that fairyland of gold?
Isn’t it a pity that this magic city turned suddenly
cold?
The chimneys moan
The river cries
Each glamorous bridge is a bridge of sighs
River, river
Won’t you be my lover?
Don’t turn me down
For Paris
Is such a lonely
I looked at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the sky
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
You and your glance makes this romance too hot to
handle
Stars in the night blazin' their light can't hold a
candle
To your razzle dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry
Wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Wanna cry
Wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Just when I think I'm free as a dove
Old evil moon deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love
Blinds me with love
Blinds me with love
Old evil moon deep in your eyes
I am loved, I am loved by the one I love in every way,
I am loved, absolutely loved,
What a wonderful thing to be able to say.
I'm adored, I'm adored by the one
who first led my heart astray,
I'm adored, absolutely adored,
What a wonderful thing to be able to say.
So ring out the bells, and let the trumpets blow,
And beat on the drums, for now I know, I know,
I am loved, I am loved,
What a wonderful thing, what a glorious thing
What a beautiful thing, to be able to say.
So ring out the bells, and let the trumpets blow,
And beat on the drums, for now I know, I know,
I am loved, I am loved,
What a wonderful thing, what a glorious thing
What a beautiful thing, what a marvelous thing
What if happy to sing, what a crazy thing
What a lovely thing, what a precious thing
To long I held you close to my heart,
To much I loved you right from the start,
To soon you vanished out of my dreams.
To late to start all over it seems.
It’s over, all over.
And soon somebody else
Will tell the world about you,
But how about me.
It's over all over
And soon somebody else
Will make a fuss about you
But how about me.
You’ll find somebody new,
But what am I to do?
I’ll still remember you,
When you have forgotten.
And maybe a baby
Will climb upon your knee
And put it's arms about you,
But how about me.
You’ll find somebody new,
But what am I to do?
I’ll still remember you,
When you have forgotten.
And maybe a baby
Will climb upon your knee
And put its arms about you
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 you and me sister 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 the whole world in his hands
He's got a little bitty baby in his hands
He's got a little bitty baby in his hands
He's got a 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 everybody here now in his hands
He's got everybody here now 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 whole wide world in his hands
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
and we would be so grand at the game
Carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
Cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love
you'd be so easy to love
Easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep all the home fires burning for
we'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
Cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love
easy to love
You sons of Adam, you daughters of Eve
The time has come to take
your love-torn hearts off your sleeve
Look, look about you
What, what do you see?
Love-sick, love-lorn, love-wrecked, love-worn
Boo hoomanity
They’ll be no peace on Earth Until this curse
Is wiped off from this love-mapped universe
Are we mice or are we men?
Can’t you see the light?
Come you fellow victims lets unite
Down with love, the flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love, the root of all midnight blues
Down with things that give you that well-known pain
Take that mood and wrap it in cellophane
Down with love, let’s liquidate all its friends
Like moons, Junes, roses and rainbows ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love, just take it away, away
Take it away, Take it away
Give it back to the birds, and the bees and the
Viennese
Down with Eyes romantic and stupid
Down with signs, down with Cupid
Ruttle that stuff that duff
Down with love
Down with love
Down with love
Do I love you, do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you, do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?
Would I miss you, would I
If you ever should go away?
If the sun should desert the day
What would life be?
Would I leave you never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't Heaven forever more?
Do I love you, do I?
Oh my dear it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do, don't I show you I do
Just as you love me
Do I love you, do I?
Oh my dear it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do, don't I show you I do
Paradise can not refuse us
Never such a happy pair
Everybody must excuse us
If we walk on air
All the shadows now will lose us
Lucky stars are everywhere
As a happy being
Here's what I'm forseeing
For you, for me, forever more
It's bound to be forever more
It's plain to see
We found, by finding each other
The love we waited for
I'm yours, you're mine
And in our hearts
The happy ending starts
What a lovely world
This world will be
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, forever more.
(instrumental bridge)
What a lovely world
This world will be
With a world of love in store
Poets often use many words
To make a poem sing
It takes time, and thought and rhyme
To make a poem ring
With music and words I've been playing
For you I have written a song
But just to be sure you know what I'm saying
I'll translate as I go along
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me know 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 forever more
You are all I worship
All I long for and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with joy
And let me sing forever more
You are all I worship
All I long for and adore
In other words, please be true
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you
{instrumental interlude}
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do
Let me sigh, let me cry when I'm blue
Let me go way from this lonesome town
Won't be long til my song will be through
‘Cause I know I'm on my last go round
All the love I could steal, beg or borrow
Wouldn't heal all this pain in my soul
What is love but a prelude to sorrow
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal
Here I go
Now you know why I'm leaving
Got the blues
What can I lose
Some fellers like to tip-toe through the tulips,
Some fellers go on singin' in the rain,
Some fellers keep on painting skies with rainbows,
Some fellers go on singin' down the lane.
Bidin' my time,
'Cause that's the kind of guy I'm,
While other folks grow dizzy, I'll keep busy,
Bidin' my time.
Next year, Next year,
Something's bound to happen,
This year, this year,
I'll just keep on nappin'.
Bidin' my time,
That's the kind of guy I'm,
There's no regrettin' when I'm settin',
Bidin' my time.
Bidin' my time,
That's the kind of guy I'm,
While other grow dizzy, I'll keep busy,
Bidin' my time.
Next year, Next year,
Something's bound to happen,
This year, this year,
I'll just keep on nappin'.
Bidin' my time,
That's the kind of guy I'm,
There's no regrettin' when I'm settin',
**I got the surprise, the surprise of my life
I had to stop and stare
I saw a man dancing with his own wife
And you will never guess where
Chicago, Chicago
That toddlin' town, the toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago
I'll show you around, I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues
In Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down
On State Street, that great street
I just wanna stay, I just wanna stay
They do things they don't do on Broadway, say
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man who danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago
Chicago, Chica-ar-ar-ar-ar-ago
Free and easy town, brassy, breezy town
Chicago, Chica-ar-ar-go
Let me cool my heels ri-ight down at Marshall Field
Come and walk with me along the lake
To the great hollar and hoot, all through the loop
Shout how-now to Mrs O'Leary's cow
No she-she, life is peachy
Chicago, we'll meat at the pump room, Ambassador East
To say the least, on shish kabab
And best of squad we will see, and yet please
Don't tell me sin is rampant and rife
Think of that man who danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chi-ca-go-o
I'm in this city
When April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May
So when it's raining have no regrets
Because it isn't raining rain you know
It's raining violets
And when you see clouds up on a hill
You know they'll bring crowds of daffodils
So just keep looking for a bluebird
And listening for his song
Whenever April showers come along
And when you see clouds up on the hill
You know there'll be crowds of daffodils
So just keep looking for a bluebird
And listening for his song
Wonderful pals are always hard to find
Some folks have one, some folks have none
And I was alone for years, but fate was kind
And in the end, sent me a friend
Although he's not much higher than my knee
Still he's the greatest thing on earth to me
Dirty hands, dirty face
Leads the neighbours a chase
But his smile is as cute as can be
Making noise, breaking toys
He's always fighting the boys
But his eyes, they're a vision to see
And when my work is done
Coming home from the setting sun
To the gate he will start to run
And then I'll kiss my boy
Dirty hands, dirty face
Little devil, that's what they say
But to me he's an angel of joy
Dirty hands, dirty face
Leads the neighbours a chase
But his smile, his little smile, is as cute as can be
Making noise, breaking toys, Ha-ha-ha
He's always fighting the boys
But his eyes, they're his Mother's
And they're a vision to me
And when my work is done
Coming home, coming home to the setting sun
From the gate he'll start to run
And then, Ohhh! I'll kiss my boy
Dirty hands, dirty face
Little devil, that's what they say
Dear Mr. Gable,
I am writing this to you
and I hope that you will read it so you'll know
My heart beats like a hammer
and I stutter and I stammer
every time I see you at the picture show.
I guess I'm just another fan of yours
and I thought I'd write and tell you so.
You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it.
You made me love you
and all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad.
But there were times, sir, you made me feel so sad.
You made me sigh 'cause
I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you
I think you're grand, that's true
Yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do.
I must tell you what I'm feeling
The very mention of your name
sends my heart reeling.
You know you made me love you!
Aw, gee, Mr. Gable, I don't wanna bother you! Guess you
got a lotta girls that tell you the same thing. And if
you don't wanna read this, well, you don't have to. But
I just had to tell you about the time I saw you in "It
Happened One Night". That was the first time I ever saw
you, and I knew right then you were the nicest fella in
the movies! I guess it was 'cause you acted so, well so
natural like - not like a real actor at all, but just
like any fella you'd meet at school or at a party. Then
one time I saw you in a picture with Joan Crawford, and
I had to cry a little 'cause you loved her so much and
you couldn't have her - not 'till the end of the
picture, anyway. And then one time I saw you in person.
You were making a personal appearance at the theatre,
and I was standing there when you got out of your car,
and you almost knocked me down! Oh - but it wasn't your
fault! Naw, I was in the way. But you looked at me, and
you smiled. Yeah! You smiled right at me as if you
meant it, and I cried all the way home
me just 'cause you smiled at me for being in your way!
Aw, I'll never forget it, Mr. Gable. Honest. You're my
favorite actor!
(singing)
I don't care what happens, let the whole world stop.
As far as I'm concerned, you'll always be the top,
With my high starched collar and my high top shoes
And my hair piled high upon my head,
I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley,
And lost my heart instead.
With his light brown derby and his bright green tie,
He was quite the handsomest of men.
I started to yen, so I counted to ten,
Then I counted to ten again.
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley,
Ding, ding, ding went the bell.
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings,
From the moment I saw him I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Bump, bump bump went the brake,
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings,
When he smiled, I could feel the car shake.
He tipped his hat and took a seat.
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet.
He asked my name; I held my breath;
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings.
As he started to go, then I started to know
How it feels when the universe reels.
The day was bright, the air was sweet.
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet.
You tried to sing, but couldn't squeak.
In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak.
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels.
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings.
As he started to leave I took hold of his sleeve
With my hand, and as if it were planned,
He stayed on with me,
And it was grand just to stand
With his hand holding mine
To the end of the line.

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
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men becau-ause
The butcher, the baker, the grocer and the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause
They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye
For anything theatrical and why, why-y?
There's no business like show business
Like no business i know
You get word before the show has started
That your father died inside of 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
(slowly, almost spoken)
In these days of flying saucers and Sputniks
You expect almost anything to happen
The Thing, The Fly, The Mole People, The Gamma People
The Indestructible Fossil Man, The Amazing Colossal Man
The Body Snatchers, The High Incredible Brain
Scratchers
I was a teenage werewolf, I was a 50 foot woman!
And other unidentifiable flying objects
I dismissed them all as being science fiction
They belonged on a library shelf
But here I am facing contradiction
'cause it happened to me myself
The sky turned red, and then it turned green
I couldn't catch my breath
And then there was a roar of thunder
That scared me half to death
Then I saw it, yeah, I saw it, yes
(sung fast, upbeat)
I saw a thing a-coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced shaking and I said, "ooo-ee!"
"It looks like a purple people eater to me!"
We had one live, one horned flying purple people eater
One eyed, one horned flying purple people eater
One eyed, one horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me!
Well he came down to Earth and he lit in a tree
I said, "Mister Purple People Eater, don't eat me!"
He looked at me, and then he said
"I wouldn't eat you 'cause you is red"
One eyed flying purple people eater
One horned flying purple people eater
One eyed, one horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me!
I said, "Mister Purple People Eater, what's your line?"
He said, "eating purple people, and it sure is fine"
"But that's not the reason that I came to land"
"I wanna get a job in a rock 'n' roll band"
Well whisper so, rock 'n' roll, flying purple people
eater
Pigeon toed, undergrowed, flying purple people eater
He wears short shorts, flying purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me!
Well, he went on his way, and then whadda'ya know?
I saw him last night on the Sullivan show
Blowing it out, really knocking 'em dead
Blowing purple music through the horn in his head
Well bless my soul! Rock 'n' roll! Flying purple people
eater!
Pigeon toed, undergrowed, flying purple people eater
So all you blue people, all you red people, better
watch what you do
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
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 then, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Did ya ever wake up in the morning
and grumble as you tumble out of bed?
You stub your toe – ouch
You hit your elbow – ooh
You bump your head – ooh
You step on a tack and you let out a howl
There’s soap in your eyes and you can’t find a towel
You try to comb your hair but can’t arrange it
Spill orange juice on your dress
and have to change it
Then all day long
Everything you touch goes wrong
Teacher told us when this happens
To never whine or wail
The same thing happens in life
But on a very much larger scale
It never rains, but what it pours
If Lady Luck should happen to desert you
A bit of rain is never going to hurt you
So wait and the skies will be blue
It never rains, but what it pours
Oh what if all your troubles come in bunches?
Keep sticking to your silly little hunches
And the sun will come shining through
Bide your time and keep on humming
Don’t you frown and sit around and weep
Wait your turn
Your day is coming
And you’ll be there on top of the heap
It never rains, but it pours
You may as well get all your worries over
From then on you’re gonna be in clover
Smile when you should cry
For every cloud, there’ll be a rainbow
There’ll be a sunbeam for every raindrop
I'm nobody's baby
I wonder why
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Please send me down somebody to love
But nobody wants me
I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Nobody's baby
And I've got to know the reason why
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
"Hey! Maybe I was meant for you."
But he only shook his head and said "Goodbye"
He kept on walking down the avenue.
Nobody wants me
I'm mighty blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
When a girl meets boy,
Life can be a joy,
But the note they end on,
Will depend on little pleasures they will share,
So let us compare.
I like New York in June, how about you?
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due.
I like potato chips, moonlight and motor trips,
How about you?
I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill,
And Franklin Roosevelt's looks give me a thrill.
Holding hands at the movie show,
When all the lights are low
May not be new, but I like it,
How about you?
I like Jack Benny's jokes,
To a degree.
I love the common folks,
That includes me.
I like to window shop on 5th Avenue,
I like banana splits, late supper at the Ritz,
How about you?
I love to dream of fame, maybe I'll shine,
I'd love to see your name right beside mine.
I can see we're in harmony,
Looks like we both agree
On what to do,
And I like it, how about you?
I'm so delighted I've ignited the spark within you.
Let me continue to make it burn.
With you I will be like a Trilby, so let's not dally.
Come on Svengali, I've lots to learn.
When you're arisin', start exercisin' daily.
For example, just a sample?
Bend and touch the floor fifty times or more.
Ha! A fine start to be a Bernhardt!
A dictionary's necessary but not for talking,
It's used for walking the Ziegfeld way.
Is this okay?
That's the trick, you're catching on quickly.
Should I take a bow?
A-ho! Let me show you how!
Just like partners on the stage.
If you can use a partner,
What a spot this,
Not so hot this,
Hey there shy one
Come by my one
Please don't rush off
Want no brush-off
I can't compel you
To buy what I'd sell you
But I'd like to tell you like so
You wanna have bells that'll ring
You wanna have songs that'll sing
You want your sky a baby blue
You gotta have me go with you
Hey, you fool you
Why so cool you
When I'm ready to go steady
You wanna have eyes that'll shine
You wanna have grapes on the vine
You want a love that's truly true
You gotta have me go with you
Why the hold out
Have you sold out
Time you woke up
Time you spoke up
This line I'm handin' you
Is not a handout
As a team we'd be a standout
No doubt!
You wanna live high on a dime
You wanna have two hearts in rhyme
You gotta have me go with you
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 teardimmed 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 ever long.
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 ever long.
Say hello to dear old Coney Isle,
If there you chance to be,
When you're at the Waldorf
have a smile and charge it up to me;
Mention my name every place you go,
as 'round the town you roam;
Wish you'd call on my gal,
Now remember, old pal when you get back home.
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 ever long.
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
Day in, day out
That same old voodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart, whenever I think
of you
And baby I think of you
Day in and day out
Day out, day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I get up with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you
Come rain, come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
When there it is, day in, day out
When I awake I get up with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you
Come rain, come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
When there it is, day in, day out
I’m gonna love you like no-body’sloved you
Come rain or comeshine
High as a mountain deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don’t ever buck me
‘Cause I’m gonna be true if you let me
Your gonna love me Like nobody’s loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together Un-happy together Won’t that be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
Were in or were out of the money
But I’m with you always I’m with you rain or shine
I’m gonna love you,I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you come rain or come shine
I love you as deep as a river come rain or come shine
I’m gonna love you, I’m gonna love you I’m gonna love
you,
I guess when you met me It was just one of those things
One of those cra-zy things
But don’t, don’t, no, don’t you ever buck me
don’t you buck me
Cause I’m gonna be true, gonna be true if you let me
Let me,let me Let me,let me let me love you
Let me love you come rain or come shine
Happy together Unhappy together won’t that be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
Were in or were out of the money
But I’m with you baby
I’m with you baby
Nothing could be finer
Than to be in Carolina in the morning!
Nothing could be sweeter
Than my sweetie when I meet her,
In the morning!
When the morning glories,
Twine around the door,
Whispering pretty stories
That I like to hear once more.
Strolling with my girly,
Where the dew is pearly-urly in the morning!
Butterflies will flutter up,
And kiss each little buttercup,
At dawning!
If I had a Latin'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 Carolina in the morning!
Strolling with my girly,
Where the dew is pearly in the morning!
Butterflies will flutter up,
And kiss each little buttercup,
At dawning!
If I had a Latin'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 Carolina!
Nothing could be finer
Old man sunshine, listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it, and I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain, it's the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tells you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas
They're writing songs of love - but not for me
A lucky star's above - but not for me
With love to lead the way I've found more skies of gray
Than any Russian play - could guarantee
I was a fool to fall - and get that way
Hi ho alas and also lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
Free and easy, that's my style
Howdy-do me, watch me smile
Fare-thee-well me after a while
'Cause I gotta roam
And any place I hang my hat is home
Sweetenin' water, cherry wine
Thank you kindly, suits me fine
Kansas City, Caroline
That's my honeycomb
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go, and the goin' proves
That's how it oughta be
I pick up too when the spirit moves me
Cross the river, 'round the bend
"Howdy stranger!", "So long friend!"
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
That keeps whisp'ring, "Roam!"
I'm going where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
Any place I hang my hat is home
Cross the river, 'round the bend
"Howdy stranger!", "So long friend!"
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
That keeps whisp'ring, "Roam!"
I'm going where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
All I do is dream of you the whole night thru
With the dawn, I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you're every thing,
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 night time too
All I do the whole day thru, is dream of you
All I do is dream of you the whole night thru
With the dawn, I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you're every thing,
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
What a day this has been!
What a rare mood I'm in!
Why, it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
Rock a bye, your baby,
with a dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a tune,
from the heart of dixie.
Just hang my cradle, mammy mine,
right on that masoned, dixen line.
And swing it from virginia, to tennese,
with all the love that's in ya.
Weep no more, my lady,
sing that song again, for me.
Sing on black joe, just as though,
you have me on your knees.
A Million baby kisses, i'll deliver,
if you will only play that swanee river.
Rock a bye your rock a bye baby,
with a dixie melody.
OH! Weep no more, my lady,
sing that song again, for me.
Sing on black joe, just as though,
you have me on your knees.
A Million baby kisses, i'll deliver,
if you will only play that swanee river.
Rock a bye your rock a bye baby,
I'm just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me
The heavenly blisses of his kisses
Fills me with ecstasy
He's sweet just like chocolate candy
Or like the honey from a bee
Oh, I'm just wild about Harry
And he's just wild about me
Now, I'm just wild about Harry
And Harry's wild about me
The heavenly blisses of his kisses
Fills me with ecstasy
Say now, he's sweet just like chocolate candy
Or like the honey from a bee
Oh, I'm just wild about Harry
And he's just wild about
Cannot do without
I hear tell there's a stranger in the Jones household
(Yes siree, yes siree)
That's what I'm told
I hear tell there's a new arrival six days old
(Yes siree, yes siree)
Worth his weight in gold
Come right in and meet the son
Christening's done, time to have some fun
(Yes siree, yes siree, yes siree)
Yes siree, yes siree, it's a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones family has a brand new heir
He's the joy heaven sent and they proudly present
Mister Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
When he grows up he never will stray
With a name like the one that he's got today
As he walks down the street folks will say
"Pleased to meet, Mister Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones"
What a smile and how he shows it
He'll keep happy all day long
What a name, I bet he knows it
With that handle how can he go wrong?
And the folks in the town all agree
He'll be famous, as famous as he can be
How can he be a dud or a stick in the mud
When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones?
(Yes siree, yes siree, yes siree)
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow the rainbow over the stream
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow the yellow brick road
We're off to see the Wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz
We hear he is a whiz of a wiz
If ever a wiz there was
If ever, oh ever a wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things he does
We're off to see the Wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz
We're off to see the Wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz
We hear he is a whiz of a wiz
If ever a wiz there was
If ever, oh, ever a wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz is one because
Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things he does
We're off to see the Wizard
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty papa,
Come to baby, come to babydo
My sweet embraceable you
instrumental
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty papa
Come to baby, come to baby do
You really shouldn't have done it
You hadn't any right
I really shouldn't have let you
Kiss me
And although it was wrong
I never was strong
So as long as you've begun it
And you know you shouldn't have done it
Oh, do it again
I may cry no, no, no, no, no, but do it again
My lips just ache to have you take
The kiss that's waiting for you
You know if you do, you won't regret it
Come and get it
Oh, no one is near
I may cry oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, but no one can hear
Mama may scold me 'cause she told me
It was naughty but then, please, do it again
Yes do it again, and again and again and again and again
Turn out the light
And hold me close in your arms
All through the night
I know tomorrow morning
You will say goodbye and amen
I'm old fashioned, I love the moonlight
I love the old-fashioned things
The sound of rain upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings
This year's fancies are passing fancies
Sighings sighs, holding hands
These my heart understand
I'm old fashioned but I don't mind it
That's how I wanna be
As long as you'll agree
Last night when we were young
Love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real, so right
Ages ago, last night
Today the world is old
You went away and time grew cold
Where is that star that seem so bright
Ages ago, last night?
To think that spring had depended
On merely this, a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
Could fade away in one little daybreak
So now, let's reminisce
And recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while
My thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
When the whole world seems wrong
just learn the words of a simple song,
of blue skies above,
be a troubadour and all is love.
When April showers stray
the silver lining will come they say,
and singin' in the rain's the thing
that those happy days again will bring.
So, everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring.
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear the orchestra play?
Everybody sing, everybody start!
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart.
Everybody sing, get into the swing,
get happy, everybody sing.
Yeah, everybody sing, come on now, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring.
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear la-da-de-oo-de-lay-de-lay-o?
Everybody sing, everybody start.
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart.
Everybody sing, come on now get into that swing
Go Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do
Everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring.
Sing before breakfast, help the birdies along.
Before you have your buttered toast, have a song.
Sing before breakfast, never quiet a thing.
Before you eat your shredded wheat, sing, sing, sing!
Sing a song of sixpence, pocket full of rye
four and twenty blackbirds baked into a pie.
When the pie was opened and set before the king,
four and twenty blackbirds started into sing.
Sing a melody of love, a song will win your lady fair.
Sing a song that mentions love and you will yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi.
Sing a song of cheer again,
the skies above will be clear again,
those happy days are here again,
sing a song of cheer again.
If you worry, if you fret, if you're getting deep in debt,
let your frown turn summerset, get yourself a good quartet.
In the evening by the moonlight
you can hear those darkies singin'.
Sing good, sing bad,
Sing loud, sing soft,
Sing sweet, sing hot,
Sing!
Everybody sing, everybody sing!
Let the sound of your voice turn winter to spring.
Everybody's gay, everybody's gay!
Oh, say can't you hear la-da-de-oo-de-lay-de-lay-o?
Everybody sing, everybody start.
You can't go wrong with a song in your heart
Everybody sing, get into the swing,
Go Do Re Me Fa So La Si Do
Get Happy, get happy
Savoy, the home of sweet romance
Savoy, it wins you at a glance
Savoy, give happy feet a chance
to dance
Your form, just like a clingy vine
Your lips, so warm and sweet as wine
Your cheek, so soft and close to mine
Devine
How my heart is singin'
While the band is swingin'
Never tired of rompin'
Stompin' with you, at the Savoy
What joy
A perfect holiday
Savoy, where we can glide and sway
Savoy, they'll let me stomp away
with you
Savoy, Savoy, Savoy,
Your form, just like a clingy vine
Your lips, so warm and sweet as wine
Your cheek, so soft and close to mine
Devine
Oh, how my heart is singin'
While the band is swingin'
Never tired of rompin'
Stompin' with you, at the Savoy
What joy
Savoy, Savoy,
They let me stomp away
Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don't take it serious
Life's too mysterious
You work, you save, you worry so
But you can't take your dough
When you go, go, go
Keep repeating, it's the berries
The strongest oak must fall
The best things in life to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you never owned
Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live and laugh at it all
Keep repeating, it's the berries
You know the strongest oak has got to fall
The sweet things in life to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you never owned
Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live it, love it, wriggle your ears
And think nothing of it, you can't do without it
There's no two ways about it
It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know, little Joe's passin' by
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Trouble's fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good, that's all I need to know
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Trouble's fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good, that's all I need to know
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
There's an old love refrain that has known the world over
It's sweetness both princes and peasants may claim
Like a bird on the wing or a bee in the clover
No matter the language the song is the same
Go to sleep, my baby, go to sleep
While the stars above begin to peep
They're lighting the windows of Heaven, angels watch over you
From the windows of Heaven, mother's watching you too
Sleep, my baby, sleep
From the windows of Heaven, mother's watching you too
I lived in a dream, my sweet
In a dream of you
My dream was a joy complete
For you loved me too
And I was no longer afraid
Of what the future might reveal
For the stuff that dreams
Are made of was suddenly real
Love of my life, life of my love
I used to pray and pray you'd hear me
Love of my life, angels above
Sent you at last, to stay always near me
Now we are one, never to part
And nevermore need I implore you to miss me
Come to my arms, come to my heart
Kiss me, kiss me
Come to me, come to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather, just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time, the time, so weary all the time
When he went away, the blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray that the Lord above will let me walk in the sun once more
Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, keeps raining all the time
I walk around heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around and I'm still feelin' bad
Rain pourin' down, blinding every hope I had
This pitterin', patterin', beatin' and splatterin' drives me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery is just too much for me
Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together
Alone together, beyond the crowd
Above the world
We're not too proud to cling together
We're strong as long as we're together
Alone together, the blinding rain
The starless nights were not in vain
For we're together
And what is there to fear together
Our love is as deep as the sea
Our love is as great as a love can be
And we can weather the great unknown
If we're alone together, together, together
I never will forget, Mmmm... Jeanette MacDonald
Just to think of her, it gives my heart a pang
I never will forget, how that brave Jeanette
Just stood there in the ruins and sang, and sang...
San Francisco, open your golden gate
You'll let nobody wait outside your door
San Francisco, here is your wanderin' one
Saying I'll wander no more.
Other places only make me love you best
Tell me you're the one in all the golden west
San Francisco, I'm coming home again
Never to roam again...
San Francisco, right when I arrive
I really come alive...
And you will laugh to see me,
Perpendicular, hanging on a cable car
San Francisco, let me beat my feet
Up and down Market Street
I'm gonna climb Nob Hill, just to watch it get dark
From the top of the mark
There's Brooklyn Bridge, London Bridge,
And the Bridge of San Louis Rey
But the only bridge, that's a real gone bridge,
Is the bridge accross the bay
San Francisco, I'm coming home again,
Never to roam again, by gum
San Francisco, I don't mean Frisco
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
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
Someday, 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 you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You're gonna feel blue, and you're gonna feel sad
You're gonna feel bad
And you'll miss, and you'll miss,
And you'll miss the bestest pal you ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
But baby, think what you're doin'
I'm gonna haunt you so, I'm gonna taunt you so
It's gonna drive you to ruin
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
Till I say to myself
Get a hold of yourself
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
Though 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 go to my head
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought to my plea
Casts a spell over me
Till I say to myself
Get a hold of yourself
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
Though 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 go to my head
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go my way by myself
This is the end of romance
I'll go my way by myself, love is only a dance
I'll try to apply myself and teach my heart how to sing
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself, I'm by myself alone
I'm sure that love's an overrated past time
It's the last time I'll ever be anything but fancy free
For love is just a junior high version, one way excursion
I'm sure that I am old enough to fly alone
And I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I believe in doing what I can
In crying when I must
In laughing when I choose
Hey ho, if love were all
I should be lonely.
I believe the more you love a man,
The more you give your trust,
The more you're bound to lose.
Although when shadows fall
I think if only
Somebody splendid really needed me
Someone affectionate and dear
Cares would be ended if I knew that he
Wanted to have me near.
But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just a talent to amuse.
I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain, believe me
I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
But I always look and find the rain
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain, believe me
I'm always chasing rainbows
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 of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
He has sounded for the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat
Oh, be swift, my soul to answer Him, be jubilant, my feet
Our God is marching on
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me
As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
4. 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 apart
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 depart
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody devine
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
INSTRUMENTAL
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 depart
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody devine
Zing! went the strings of my
Zing! went the strings of my
I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream awhile, scheme awhile
you're sure to find
Happiness, and I guess
All those things you've always pinned for
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets, Woolworth's doesn't sell, baby
Until that lucky day, you know darn well, baby
Did you just hear what I just heard?
That noise don't come from an ordinary bird
It may be just a cricket or a critter in the trees
It's giving me the jitters in the joints around the knees
I think I see a jijik and he's fuzzy and he's furry
I haven't got a brain but I think I ought to worry
I haven't got a heart but I've got a palpitation
As monarch of the forest, I don't like the situation
Are you gonna stand around and let him fill us full of horror?
I'd like to roar him down but I think I've lost my roarer
It's a whozis
It's a whosis?
It's a whatzis
It's a whatzis?
Whozat?
Whozat?
Whozat?
Whozat?
Who's that hiding in the tree tops?
It's that rascal, the jitterbug
Should you catch him buzzin' round you?
Keep away from the jitterbug
Oh, the bees and the breeze and the bats in the trees
Have a terrible, horrible buzz
But the bees and the breeze and the bats in the trees
Couldn't do what the jitterbug does
So be careful of that rascal
Keep away from the jitterbug
The jitterbug
Oh the jitter
Oh the bug
Oh the jitterbug
In the twitter, in the throes
All the critters
Got me dancing on a thousand toes
Now she blows
Hey, who's that hiding in the tree tops?
It's that rascal, the jitterbug
Should you catch him buzzin' round you
Keep away from the jitterbug
Oh, the bats and the bees
And the breeze in the trees
Have a terrible, horrible buzz
But the bees and the breeze
And the bats in the trees
Couldn't do what the jitterbug does
So be so careful of that rascal
Keep away from the jitterbug
The jitterbug
Did you ever wonder why in thunder
thunder comes in spring?
Once upon a time it seems
all the world was wrapped in dreams.
Playful little fellas, so they tell us
said Let's have our fling!
Spring is in the air, you know!
It's time to wake 'em up below!
So, when the thunder starts to thunder don't run home and cry.
They're playing ten-pins in the sky.
Little fellas way up yonder make the raindrops fly
while rollin', bowlin' ten-pins in the sky.
The world will wear a new bonnet
daffodils on it,
thanks to the skies above.
Thunder and showers
wake up the flowers,
where there are flowers
there must be love.
So, laugh at raindrops, laugh at thunder,
clouds will soon roll by.
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style someday
Old dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin'your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend, my huckleberry friend
When you go to a dance, do you know what to do?
Swing your partner, swing your partner, swing your partner to you
Throw your partner way out, give your partner a spin
Swing your partner, swing your partner, swing your partner back in
Are you ready now? Now, steady now, are you ready now? Begin
Round and round and round we go
If you waltz her once around the hall
Then you'll see that she's the belle of the ball
Round and round and round once more
Oh, the music has such a wonderful sound
Around, around, around
Round and round and round we go
If you waltz her once around the hall
Then you'll see that she's the belle of the ball
Round and round and round once more
Oh, the music has such a wonderful sound
Round and round
And around and around
And around and around
i keep recalling us at the airport
saying good night for the last time
me i managed a smile as you made nervous
say hey, hey never mind
every song sounds like a love song
every kiss feels like your first
i'm afraid i'm losing you
from better than bad back to worse
hey i never told you you're my judy garland
me i'm your cyclone
calling out to kansas but you were never home
every song sounds like a love song
every kiss feels like your first
i'm afraid i'm losing you
