Wyandanch (/ˈwaɪənˌdæntʃ/, WHY-ən-DANCH) is a hamlet and census-designated place in the town of Babylon in Suffolk County, New York. The population was 10,546 at the 2000 census.
This hamlet is named after Chief Wyandanch, a leader of the Montaukett Native American tribe during the 17th-century. Formerly known as Half Way Hollow Hills, West Deer Park (1875), and Wyandance (1893), the area of scrub oak and pine barrens south of the southern slope of Half Hollow terminal moraine was named Wyandanch in 1903 by the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) to honor Chief Wyandanch and end confusion between travelers getting off at the West Deer Park and Deer Park railroad stations. The history of the hamlet has been shaped by waves of immigrants.
No archaeological evidence of permanent Native American settlements in Wyandanch has been discovered. Native Americans hunted and gathered fruits and berries in what is now Wyandanch/Wheatley Heights.
The Massapequa Indians deeded the northwest section (of what now is the Town of Babylon) to Huntington in the Baiting Place Purchase of 1698. The northeast section of the Town of Babylon "pine brush and plain" was deeded to Huntington by the Secatogue Indians in the Squaw Pit Purchase of 1699. What is now Wyandanch is located in the Squaw Pit Purchase area. Lorena Frevert reported in 1949 that in the Baiting Place Purchase the Massapequa Indians "reserved the right of fishing and 'gathering plume and hucel bearyes."
Who's that knockin'? Don't stand outside there, come on in here!
I just had a sort of feeling this morning
Something good was gonna happen today
Now there comes a sound without any warning
I just know it's good luck coming my way!
Goodness gracious, can it be?
Someone's coming back to me
Who's that knocking at my door?
I've been waiting oh so long,
I'll just die if I'm wrong
Who's that knocking at my door?
I know it can't be the mailman,
The coal man, the ice man,
They've been here today
Can't be the grocer,
The butcher, the baker,
They don't knock that way
If my sweetie's there outside,
Wy arms and my heart are open wide
Who's that knocking at my door?
Me oh my,
My oh me,
Guess I'm having company
Who's that knocking at my door?
See the time? Eight O'Clock.
Sounds like a familiar knock
Who's that knocking at my door?
I know it can't be the milk man,
The gas man, the bread man,
Who always collects
I hope that it isn't
That butter and egg man,
Who writes out those checks
If it's my sweet used-to-be,
Gonna lock him in, lose the key
Who's that knocking at my door?
Can't be the plumber,
The peddler, the parlor,
Cause I've paid those bills
I hope that it isn't
The doctor, the dentist,
They can't cure my ills
If it's someone that I've known,
Gonna make him feel at home
Who's that knocking at my door?
Love was blind to me, now it's kind to me,
Love has opened my eyes.
Since it came to me, life's a game to me
With the sweetest surprise.
I never knew how good it was to be
A slave to one who means the world to me.
I loved that man from the start,
And way down deep in his heart
I know he loves me, Heaven knows why
And when he tells me he can't live without me
What wouldn't I do for that man?
He's not an angel or saint,
And what's the odds that he ain't
With all his faults I know he'll get by
I'll be so true to him, he'll never doubt me
What wouldn't I do for that man?
Oh, when he lets me lean my weary head on his shoulder
I close my eyes right there and wish I never grow older
I'll never leave him alone,
I'll make his troubles my own
I love that man as nobody can
I'm just no good when his arms are about me
What wouldn't I do for that man?
Oh, what wouldn't I do for that man?
I'll never leave him alone,
I'll make his troubles my own
I love that man better than I do myself
I'm just no good when his arms are about me
What wouldn't I do for that man?
Oh there's not a thing I wouldn't do for my man.
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'
I don't know why
I stay home each night
When you say you'll phone
You don't and I'm left alone.
Singing the blues and sighin'.
You treat me coldly
Each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever somebody is near, dear
It must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't, for can't you see
What you mean to me
Sweetheart I love you
Think the world of you
But I'm afraid you don't care for me
You never show it
Don't let me know it
Everyone says I'm a fool to be
Pining the whole day through
Why do you act like you do?
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'
I don't know why
I stay home each night
When you say you'll phone
You don't and I'm left alone.
Singing the blues and sighin'.
You treat me coldly
Each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever somebody is near, dear
It must be great fun for you
Can't you see what you're doing to me
Please tell me why you're so mean to me.
Dum dum be dum,
Dum dum be dum,
I’m not lonely,
Dum dum be dum,
I got a real man,
What an ideal man, now!
Dum dum be dum,
Dum dum be dum,
He’s my only dum dum be dum!
Person I love,
Has all of my love,
And how!
Talk about your classic lover,
And you couldn’t help discover,
That he’s that way lovable and sweet,
He’s candy!
No one else can hold a candle,
What a precious thing to handle!
And he’s that way lovable and sweet!
Oh gee!
Oh gosh!
Whenever we’re all alone,
Oh gosh and Oh gee!
What happens, it simply wouldn’t be known!
Bubblin’ over with affection,
Satisfyin’ to perfection,
Is he that way lovable and sweet!
Talk about your nifty dresser!
What a lover, some caresser!
Is he that way lovable and sweet!
Do I know just what I’m gettin’,
When it comes to real love pettin’!
Is he that way lovable and sweet!
That guy, oh my,
Has made me lose all control!
His kiss!
What bliss!
It weakens the heart, but it turns into soul!
And although he’s such a night-man,
Could he even be the right man?
I'm Flying high but I've got a feeling I'm falling
falling for nobody else but you
you caught my eye
and I've got a feeling I'm falling
show me the ring and I'll jump right through
I used to travel single,oh
we chance to mingle, oh
Now I all a tingle over you
Hey mister parson stand by
for I've got a feeling I'm falling
falling for nobody else but you
Oh, honey, oh honey, I never felt this way
romantically I'm up in the air
Its funny, so funny me taking it this way
Don't know if I should
but gee, it feels good
I'm Flying high but I've got a feeling I'm falling
falling for nobody else but you
and you know it too
you caught my eye
and I've got a feeling I'm falling
show me the ring and boy I'll take it from you
I used to travel single,oh
we chance to mingle, oh
Now I all a tingle over you
Hey mister parson stand by
Don't leave me now
for I've got a feeling I'm falling
To be or not to be?
That is not the question,
'Cause I decided long ago to be!
With me it's what to be,
Now making some suggestions,
Good or bad, which is the best for me?
When you're after
Fun and laughter,
This aggravates you!
Some reformers
Say a warmer
Climate awaits you!
If it's naughty to rouge your lips,
Shake your shoulders and shake your hips,
Then the answer is, "Yes, I'd wanna be bad!".
If it's naughty to vamp the men,
Sleep each morning till after ten,
Let a lady confess, "Yes, I wanna be bad!".
This thing of being a good little goody is all very well,
What can you do when you're loaded with plenty of health and vigour?
When you're learning what lips are for
And it's naughty to ask for more,
Let a lady confess, "I'd wanna be bad!".
Oh, if it's naughty to rouge your lips,
Shake your shoulders and shake your hips,
Then the answer is, "I wanna be bad!", boop-oop-a-doo!
And if it's naughty to vamp the men,
Sleep each morning till after ten,
Then the answer is, "Yes, I wanna be bad!".
Nobody cares just how blue and how lonesome I am,
If I have troubles and laugh like I don't give a damn, you'll credot!
If it's wrong to let someone take
Just a little kiss by mistake,
Gee, but it's tough to be broke here
It's not a joke here, it's a curse
My luck is changing, it has gotten
From simply rotten to something worse
Who knows someday I will win too
I'll begin to reach my prime
Now though I see what our end is
All I can send is just my time
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 planned for
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworths doesn't sell, baby
'Till that lucky day, you know darn well, baby
I can't give you anything but love
baby, baby
I can't give you any little thing 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 planned for
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworths doesn't sell, baby
'Till that lucky day, you know darn well, baby
I hate to think what might have been if we had never met
Why should I suppose that this could be?
The weary days, the lonely nights, are easy to forget
Since I am here, and you are here with me.
Here we are, you and I
Let the World hurry by
Even while I waited, somehow, dear, I knew
You'd find me, I'd find you
Here we are, alone together
What matter whether, we wander far?
And though we haven't got a bankful,
We can still be thankful
That here, that here we are!
Here we are, you and I
Let the World just hurry by
Even while I waited, somehow, dear, I knew
You'd find me, and I'd find you
Here we are, alone together
What matter whether we wandered far?
And though we haven't got a bankful,
We can still be thankful
That here we are!
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on ...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on ...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
When night is creepin'
And I should be sleepin' in bed
If you were peepin'
You'd find that I'm weepin' instead
My lovin' daddy left his baby again
Said he'd come back but he forgot to say when
Night after night, I'm cryin'
Daddy, won't you please come home?
Daddy won't you please come home?
I'm so lonesome
No one can fill that vacant chair
Home isn't home when you're not there
No need to knock, the door is open for you
Please, daddy
Even the clock keeps tickin'
Daddy won't you please come home?
Daddy do you have to roam so very long?
There's lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin'
Haven't slipped yet, but I'm liable to weaken
Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?
Please, daddy
Even the clock keeps tickin'
Daddy won't you please come home?
Daddy do you have to roam so very long?
There's lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin'
Haven't slipped yet, but I'm liable to weaken
Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?
Carolina moon keeps shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon I'm pining
Pining for the place I long to be
How I'm hoping tonight you go, go to the right window
Scatter your light say I'm all right please please do
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy dreamy Carolina moon
How I'm hoping tonight you go, go to the right window
Scatter your light say I'm all right please please do
Tell her that I'm blue and oh so lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon
I'm just a woman, a lonely woman
Waiting on the weary shore
I'm just a woman who's only human
One you should feel sorry for
It was a morning, long before dawn
Without a warning I found he was gone
How could he do it, why should he do it
He never done it before
Am I blue, am I blue
Aint these tears in these eyes telling you
How can you ask me am I blue
Why, wouldnt you be too
If each plan with your man
Done fell through
There was a time
When I was his only one
But now I'm the sad and lonely one...lonely
Was I gay, until today
Now he's gone, and we're through
