Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto; May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973) was an American singer who performed in a range of music genres, including pop, rock, jazz, folk, and country.
He started as a songwriter for Connie Francis, and recorded his own first million-seller "Splish Splash" in 1958. This was followed by "Dream Lover", "Mack the Knife" and "Beyond the Sea", which brought him world fame. In 1962, he won a Golden Globe for his first film Come September, co-starring his wife Sandra Dee.
Through the 1960s he became more political, and worked on Bobby Kennedy's presidential campaign, being present on the night of his assassination. This affected him and sent him into a period of seclusion.
Although he made a successful television comeback, his health was starting to fail, as he had always expected, following bouts of rheumatic fever in childhood. This knowledge had always spurred him on to exploit his musical talent while still young. He died at 37, following a heart operation in Los Angeles.
You'd be so nice by the fire
Where the breeze that's it sneak in on high sing a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire.
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burnin' above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love.
You'd be ever so nice to park shoes by the fire
While the breeze on high chants a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire.
And under stars chilled by the wintertime
Under an August moon burnin' above
You'd be so nice, you'd be a lot more than paradise
To come home to and love.
And love
And love
Let's make love.
Yesterday you came my way,
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
I was riding number nine
Heading South from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I got in trouble, had to roam
I left my gal and my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid, actin' smart
I went and broke my darling's heart
I guess I was a too young to know
They took me off the Georgia Main
And tied me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All alone I bear this shame
Well, I'm a number, not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
When that evenin' train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I'll be locked here in this cell
'Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine
'Cause I'm in Georgia, doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy river in the noonday sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles dream with me
Up a lazy river where the Robin's song
Wakes the mornin' we roll along
May be blue skies above, everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we'll be
Up a lazy river with me
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun
You can linger for awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, baby dream a dream of me
Up a lazy river where the Robin's song
Wakes a bright new mornin' where we can roll along
There may be blue skies up above
But, as long as we're in love
Yeah, we'll be up a lazy river how happy we could be
Up a lazy river with me
From the halfway mark
Yeah, up a lazy river where that robin's song
Awakes a bright new mornin', we can roll along
A, a, a, there are blue skies up above
And as long as we're in love
We'll be up a lazy rive
Up a crazy, lazy river
Up a lazy river
I ain?t goin? your way
Get outta my way
Jailer, bring me water

Jailer, bring me, bring me water
Jailer, bring me, bring me water

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy.
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you.
One gal you're everything to.
Fame, if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her,
Build your world around her.
Make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy
And you will be happy too.
Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find.
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind.
(Did you hear?)
This poor little child was only nine years of age
when mother and dad went away;
Still she brav-el-y worked
At the one thing she knew
to earn her few pennies a day.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear;
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers,
Fashioned from Annie's despair.
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and 'mum.
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb.
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair.
They found little Annie all covered with ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears.
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers.
No more artificial flowers;
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Those dumb-dumb flowers,
Fashioned from Annie's,
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's
Des-pa-a-a-air.
(Give her the real thing!)
Well, you can talk about your Julie and your Peggy Sue
You can keep your miss Molly and your Mary Lou
When it comes to the chicken or doin' the bop?
I got a girl they call the queen of the hop
Oh, well I love my queen

Oh, well she tunes in to Bandstand every day

My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll, yeah
Oh, she tunes in to Bandstand every day

I ain?t gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll
How ?bout your short?ning bread?
Oh, I wouldn?t give you a piece a pie to save your soul
I guess that?s what you said
My ma told me today
When she went away to buy groceries
To be a good boy, she?d give me a toy
'Cause I?m my mama?s pride and joy
There ain?t no use of anyone to keep a hangin? ?round
Maybe I?m waitin? on your ma
You don?t know my ma, she?d really put you down
Put me down?

I wouldn?t give you a piece a pie to save your soul
How ?bout a zuzu snap?
Her cherry pie is fine, her layer cake divine

Unless you?re extra special nice

Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue

If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Then anything else I know.
While you'd druther hustle
Accumulatin' muscle
I'd druther watch daisies grow.
While they're growin' slow an'
The summer breeze is blowin'
My heart is overflowin' and so.
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Than anything else I know.
Robert, you think you could agree with that kind of philosophy?
Bobby:
Agree? I live it!
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Then work any whereas at all.
Johnny:
Don't nobody call.
Bobby:
It ain't that I hates it
Why, in fact, I even contemplates it
While watchin' raindrops fall.
I sits there for hours
Developin' my powers
Of figurin' how flowers gets tall.
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Then anything else at all.
Johnny:
If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others
I'd druther be like I am.
Bobby:
I like you just the way you are.
This thing called employment
Detracts from my enjoyment
And tightens my diaphragm.
Johnny:
Oh, you poor lamb!
Whilst I'm doin' nary
A thing that's necessary
I'm happy as a cherrystone clam.
Bobby:
Some of my best friends are clams!
If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others
I'd rather be like I am.
Both:
If we had our druthers
We'd rather have our druthers
Than anything else we know.
Our forefathers wrote it
And often times we quote it
Whenever we're feelin' low.
Bobby:
Monsieur John?
Johnny:
As direct descendants ...
Bobby:
We figure independence ...
Both:
Ain't only in Missouri and so.
If we had our druthers
We'd rather have our druthers
Than anything else we know.
Johnny:
Why sho' ...
Both:
Than anything else we know ...
Bobby:
Yebo' ...
Both:
Then anythin else we know ...
Enco' ...
Than anything else we know.
Bobby:
Goodnight.
Johnny:
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow
Follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's so nice to remember
Without a hurt the heart is hollow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
And follow
Follow
More than the greatest love the world

All around you, around a quarter to nine

Waitin' for you on needles and pins
And then this world is gonna be mine
This evenin' 'bout a quarter to nine
Get it, ah ah, oh oh
This evenin' around a quarter to nine
Both these lovin' arms are gonna tenderly twine
There around you around a quarter to nine
I know I won't be late 'cause at half past eight
You know I'm gonna be there, I'll be waitin' right where the lane begins
I'll be waitin' for you on needles and pins
And then, then you're gonna be mine
When two lovers meet in Mayfair,
So the legends tell,
Songbirds sing,
Winter turns to Spring.
Every winding street in Mayfair,
Falls beneath this spell.
I know such enchantment can be,
Because it happened one evening to me.
That certain night, the night we met,
There was magic abroad in the air,
There were angels dining at the Ritz,
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
The moon that lingered over London town,
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
How could he know we two were so in love?
The whole darn world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars;
It was such a romantic affair.
And, as we kissed and said 'goodnight',
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
How strange it was
How sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
With that hazy, crazy night we met
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
This heart of mine it beat loud and fast
Like a merry go round in a fair
For we were dancing cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendezvous,
I still remember how you smiled and said,
"Was that a dream or was it true?"
Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing feet of Astaire
And, like an echo far away,
Off comes the make up
Off comes the clown's disguise
The curtain's fallin'
The music softly dies.
But I hope your smilin'
As you're filin' out the door
As they say in this biz
That's all there is... there isn't anymore.
We've shared a moment
And as the moment ends
I got a funny feelin'
We're parting now as friends.
Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They've torn down these dusty walls
If I had this to do again
And the evening were new again
I would spend it with you again
But now the curtain falls.
Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They've torn down these dusty walls
People say I was made for this
Nothin' else would I trade for this
And just think I get paid for this...
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Now rain please tell me does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's
Somewhere far away
The only one I ever cared about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
This lovely day will lengthen into evening
We'll sigh goodbye to all we've ever had
Alone where we have walked together
I'll remember April and be glad
I'll be content you loved me once in April
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
But I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow
For I'll remember April and you
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
For flames and love live such a little while
I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I'll remember April and our smile
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
For flames and love live such a tiny while
I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I'll remember April, I'll remember April
I got Pigs
I got Horses
I got Cows
I got Sheep

He said a fool you
I fool you

I got a pig eye

YOU'RE THE REASON I'M LIVING
Bobby Darin
You're the reason I'm living
You're the breath that I take
You're the stars in my heaven
You're the sun when I wake
You're the reason I'm living
Oh you carry me through
All of life's little burdens
I'd be lost without you
A long long time ago
When I was down
Wo-o-o you picked me up
And showed me true love
Still could be found
You're the reason I do things
You're the things that I do
You're the reason I'm livin
I'd be lost without you
Come and tell me again
You're the reason I'm living
Oh you carry me through
All of life's little burdens
See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, it was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed 'til I cried
She was always young at heart
Kind of dumb and kind of smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late
Cos' I would know
That she'd been sitting there a crying
Over some sad and silly late late show
And Honey I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Yes you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her crying needlessly
In the middle of the day
And It was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And Honey I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
One day when I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
Angels came
Now all I have are memories of Honey
And I wake at nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes over head
And cries down on the flowerbed
That Honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
When you see a gentleman bee
Around a lady bee buzzing,
Just count to ten, then count again:
There's sure to be an even dozen.
Multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And each generation, they play the same.
Now, there was two butterflies, castin' their eyes
Both in the same direction.
You'd never guess that one little "yes"
Could start a butterfly collection.
Ah, multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And each generation, uh, they play the same.
Well, let me tell you now,
I say one and one is five,
You can call me a silly goat.
But you take two minks, add two minks,
Aaahh, you got uh, one mink coat.
When a girl gets coy in front of a boy
After three or four dances,
Ah, you can just bet she'll play hard-to-get
To multiply her chances.
Multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And each generation, you know they play the same.
Hear me talkin' to ya!
Mother Nature's a clever girl,
She relies on habits.
You take two hares with no cares,
Mmm, pretty soon you got a room full of rabbits.
Parakeets, in between tweets,
Sometimes get too quiet.
Uh-oh! But have no fear, 'cause soon you'll hear
A parakeets' riot. Just try it!
Multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And every generation, you know, they play the same.
Yeah, it's multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And each generation, they play the same.

A song of love is a sad song, hi lili, hi lili, hi lo
A song of love is a tale of woe
You ask me how, how I know, yeah
A song of love is a sad song
And that's what everyone knows
I sit by the window and I watch the rain, hi lili, hi lili, hi lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love again, hi lili, hi lili, hi lo
Well, I sit by the window and I watch the rain, hi lili, hi lili, hi lo
(I wonder, I wonder)
I wonder who's kissing her now
You know I wonder who's
Teaching her how
I wonder who's
Looking into her eyes
Breathing sighs
Telling my baby those lies
I wonder who's buying the wine
For lips that I used to call mine
I wonder if she ever tells him of me
I wonder who's kissing her now
I wonder, I wonder
Who's buying the wine
For lips that I once called mine
You know I wonder if
She ever tells him of me
"I'll Be There"
I’ll be there, when all your dreams are broken;
To answer your unspoken prayer.
When the little things you’re doing
Don’t turn out right,
Don’t you worry, darlin’, I’ll be there.
I’ll miss you, and in my dreams, I’ll kiss you;
And wish you luck on your new affair.
So, baby, if you need me,
All you have to do is call me,
And don’t you worry, darlin’, I’ll be there.
There, whenever you need to know,
That there is someone who cares.
So, if your new love,
Isn’t a true love,
Don’t you worry, darlin’, I’ll be there.
Coda:
Oh, you know I’ll be there
Don’t you worry, darlin’
‘cause you know I’ll be there
Don’t you … don’t you worry, darlin’
Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry any more
'Cause I'll be your baby tonight
Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
'Cause I'll be your baby tonight
Give me a little time
Mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big old moon is gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it, you won't regret it
Little girl kick your shoes off, have no fear
Bring that bottle over here
And I'll be your baby tonight
Give me a little room
Mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big old moon is gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it, you won't regret it
Little girl kick both them your shoes off, have no fear
Bring your own self over here
And I'll be your baby tonight
Give me a little time
And I'll be your baby tonight
Don't you take away all my covers
I never cared much for moonlit skies
Never winked back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
I used to ramble through the park
Shadow boxing in the dark
Then you came and caused the spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light
I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never winked back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
And I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
You know, I used to ramble through the park
Shadow boxing in the dark
Then you came and lit that spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I got rhythm, I got music
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my gal who can 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 gal who can ask for anything more
who can ask for more
I got rhythm, I got music
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
old man trouble I don't mind him
you'll never find him round my door
I got starlight, I got me sweet dreams
I got my gal
Who can ask for more
who could ask for anything
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forevermore
I've never been in love before
Kinda thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine
That's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish songs
And out my song must pour
So please forgive
This helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been
In love before
But this is wine
That's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish songs
And out my song must pour
So please forgive
This helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
She is my baby and she lived next door
Every mornin' 'fore the sun come up
She bring me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
When I'm in trouble and I need me a friend
I know she stick with me until the end
Everybody asked me how I know
I smile and tell them say, "She told me so"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Now, if I call her on the telephone
And tell her, baby, I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear her on my door
In the evenin' when the sun go down
And there ain't nobody else around
She kisses me and she hold me tight
Tell me, "Daddy, everything's alright"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Now, if I call her on the telephone
Tell her, baby, I'm so here alone
By the time I count from one up to four
I hear her on my door
In the evening when the sun go down
And there ain't nobody else around
She kisses me and hold me tight
Tell me, "Daddy, it's just right"
And I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Hallelujah, I just love her so
She's my woman, I wanna tell you
Hallelujah, I just love her so, yeah, I know
Sadness had been
Close as my next of kin
Then happy came one day
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Happy, that's you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lamb was I
Till you came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Till now
Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until
Happy came smiling up at me
'Cause sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Song sung blue everybody knows one song sung blue every
garden grows on
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song you sing 'em
out again
You sing 'em out again
Song sung blue weeping like a willow song sung blue
sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it get the feeling good you simply
got no choice
[ steel ]
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song you sing 'em
out again
Song sung blue weeping like a willow...
Song sung blue song sung blue song sung blue
Now, baby, when you sigh
(When you sigh)
I wanna sigh with you
And when you cry
(When you cry)
Wanna cry me some too

(Ain't that love)
Oh, ain't that love

Turn their back on you

Just to see you through
Now, ain't that love

Talk to me awhile
Baby, won't you let me hold your hand?
Want to squeeze you as tight as I can
Baby, don't you need me by your side
To protect you and to be your guide?
Baby, I'm so in love with you
I'd do anything you tell me to
Now, ain't that love
(Ain't that love)

(Ain't that love)
C'mon now, c'mon now
C'mon now, c'mon now
Ain't that love, baby
That I feel in my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you, oh
Off comes the make up
Off comes the clown's disguise
The curtain's fallin'
The music softly dies.
But I hope your smilin'
As you're filin' out the door
As they say in this biz
That's all there is ... there isn't anymore.
We've shared a moment
And as the moment ends
I got a funny feelin'
We're parting now as friends.
Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They've torn down these dusty walls
If I had this to do again
And the evening were new again
I would spend it with you again
But now the curtain falls.
Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They've torn down these dusty walls
People say I was made for this
Nothin' else would I trade for this
And just think I get paid for this ...
"Goodnight ladies and gentlemen and God love you, thank
you."
She was afraid to come out of the locker
she was as nervous as she could be
she was afraid to come out of the locker
she was afraid that somebody would see
Two three four
tell the people what she wore
It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the locker she wanted to stay
Two three four
stick around well tell you more
She was afraid to come out in the open
so a blanket around her she wore
she was afraid to come out in the open
and so she sat bundled up on the shore
Two three four
tell the people what she wore
It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the blanket she wanted to stay
Two three four
stick around well tell you more
Now she's afraid to come out of the water
and i wonder what she's gunna do
now she's afraid to come out of the water
and the poor little girls turning blue
Two three four
tell the people what she wore
It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the water she wanted to stay
From the locker to the blanket
from the blanket to the shore
from the shore to the water
yes there isn't any more
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Though I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for?
What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn
I've been having a sweet dream
I been dreaming since I woke up today
It's starring me and my sweet thing
'Cause she's the one makes me feel this way
And even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad
{Whistle}
And you can be sure that if you're feeling right
A daydream will last long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years
What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreaming boy
And now I'm lost in a daydream
Dreaming 'bout my bundle of joy
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor from nine to four
In between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room
Then talkin' to the shadow
One o'clock till four
Lord, how slow the moments go
And all I do is pour
Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry
You know a man is born to love a woman
To work and slave to pay her debts
Just because he's only human
To drown his past regrets in coffee and cigarettes
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Moanin' all the night
In between it's nicotine
Not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
I'm waitin' for my baby
To maybe come around
Gonna drown my past regrets
In some coffee and a few cigarettes
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Moanin' all the night
In between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground'
It`s driving me crazy just waitin' for my baby
To maybe come around
Please come around
Artificial Flowers
Bobby Darin
Written by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick
(#20 in 1960)
Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find.
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind.
((Did you hear?)
This poor little child was only nine years of age
when mother and dad went away;
Still brav-el-y worked
At the one thing she knew
to earn her few pennies a day.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear;
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers,
Fashions from Annie's despair.
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum.
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb.
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair.
They found little Annie all covered in ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears.
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers.
No more artificial flowers;
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Those dumb-dumb flowers,
Fashioned from Annie's,
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's
Des-pa-a-a-air.
There was a white mouse consultation
Down at the county fair
All the church mice, field mice and not
so nice mice
Everybody gathered there
You see the muckidy muck he was
speakin', tellin' them where it was at
He said hear, hear there ain't nothin' to fear
Except a three eyed Siamese cat
And the crowd was stunned
See, no single mouse had ever seen one
He said don't be scared
We're prepared.
Then he held up a great big picture
So every mouse could see
What a three eyed Siamese cat looked like
The face of the enemy
And the crowd let out such a shudder
As they lined up file and rank
Starin' at a twenty foot picture frame
Surroundin' a twenty foot blank
Just empty space
But every single mouse
Swore he saw a face
He said don't be scared
We're prepared
Then the muckidy much started screamin'
Yellin' till his voice gave out
He said now that you've seen what the
cat looks like
Gonna tell you what he's all about
He said he don't eat cheese on Friday
And he goes around lickin' his paws
He's awful mean and he loves to keep clean
And believes in changin' laws
And the crowd went wild
And every mouse began to fear for his child
Don't scared
We're prepared.
Now two times two is forty-five
The muckidy muck explained
And the flat side of the moon is green
And the farmer don't need no rain
And the night is light and might is right
And Supermouse is on our side
And the three eyed Siamese cat's a plague
From which nobody can hide
And the mice all cringed
The whiskers of that cat would soon
be singed
Don't be scared
We're prepared.
Then the muckidy muck started singin'
Through his great paternal grin
And the church mice, field mice
All the patriotic mice
Everybody chimed right in
They sang this land is mice land
Mice country tis of thee
Well my father took it from the beaver rat
Nobody's gonna take it from me
And the mice all cheered
The sound that they were makin' sure
was weird
Dont' be scared
We're prepared.
Then the muckidy muck said line up here
Everybody give a buck
To fight the three eyed Siamese cat
takes money
And a little bit of luck
We've got a million of our best young mice
To go out and volunteer
To give up what they're livin' for
To make the cat disappear
Let's give 'em a hand
We don't want that cat invadin' our land
No way
We're not scared
We're prepared.
Then a mighty strange thing happened
Guess you could call it fate
You see, a gust of wind blew the picture
frame down
And it landed on the muckidy muck's head
And the mice they all went crazy
For the first time they saw the lie
It was all a hoax on just simple folks
And the muckidy muck must die
And die he did
The members of his staff they just fled
They were scared
Call me irresponsible
call me unreliable
throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibies
bother you
well I'm not too clever
I just adore you
Call me unpredictable
tell me I'm inpractical
rainbows I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible
Yes I'm unreliable
but it's undeniably true
That I'm irresponsibly mad for you
go on and call me unpredictable
tell me that I'm impractical
rainbows I'm inclined to pursue
You go ahead call irresponsible
I admit I'm unreliable
but it is undeniably true
Johnny:
Back home again in Indiana ...
Bobby:
Ah, ... talk about the South!
Johnny:
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight
Still shinin' bright
Through the sycamores for me.
The new mown hay
Sends all its fragrance ...
Bobby:
You know ‘bout that jazz.
Johnny:
From the fields I used to roam.
Bobby:
I'm a Yankee myself.
Johnny:
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
then I long for my Indian home.
Bobby:
Sounds like it could be fun!
Back home again in Indiana ...
Johnny:
Way out west!
Bobby:
And it seems that I can see ...
Johnny:
See what?
Bobby:
The gleaming' candlelight ...
Johnny:
One watt.
Bobby:
Still shinin' bright
Through the sycamores for me.
The new mown hay ...
Johnny:
Cut it yourself?
Bobby:
Yeah, ... sends all its fragrance
From the fields I use to roam.
Johnny:
Roamin' in the gloamin'.
Bobby:
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
then I long for my Indiana home.
Johnny:
When the meadowlark
Is singin' in the springtime ...
Bobby:
I want to sing a little swing.
Johnny:
I got the key, just follow me.
Scat sing.
Bobby:
You mean?
Scat sing.
Both:
Scat sing.
Johnny:
When things are peachy
On the old Ogichee ...
Bobby:
Where the heck is that?
When they start to shiver
On the Hudson River ...
Johnny:
I know where that is!
Bobby: Yeah!
Johnny:
I dream of my Indiana ...
Bobby:
New York and Old Savannah ...
Both:
Dream of my Indiana home.

You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a wonderful child
When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild.
And when it came to winning blue ribboms
You must have shown the other kids how.
I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize
You must have made the cutest bow.
You must've been a beautiful baby'Cause baby look at you now.
Does your mother realize
The stork delivered quite a prize
The day he left you on the family tree? Does your dad appreciate
That you're merely supergreat
The miracle of any century? If they don't just send them both to me.
You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a wonderful child.
When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild.
And when it came to winning blue ribboms
You must have shown the other kids how.
I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize
You must have made the cutest bow.
Somewhere there has to be the other half of me
The other half of me I am yet to meet
The one special someone whose heart has a similar meaning
And if she were right for me, day and night for me what have meaning
The other half of me
That unknown quality
That unseen destiny could make me complete
Is there a child for the heart of
We'll meet on the street with a love
Will we know one another if I ever meet my other half
The other half of me
I am sitting on top of the world
just rolling along
just rolling along
and I am quittin the grues of the world

Everybody has the right to be wrong at least once
Everybody has the right to be dunce-like, once-like
Not being too smart is, is no disgrace
What sets you apart is smilin' with egg on your face
Its naive to make believe that you're right, it's not bright
Only fools go walking on thin ice, twice
You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get along
All it takes is simply saying you're wrong when you're wrong
And everybody has the right to be wrong
You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get along
All it takes is simply sayin' you're wrong when you're wrong
And everybody has the right to be
It can be a real delight to be
And I'd fight, fight for the right to be wrong
You must have been a beautiful baby,
you must have been a wonderful child . . .
When you were only startin'
to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild!
An' when it came to winning blue ribbons,
you must have shown the other kids how . . .
I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow!
Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby,
'cause baby look at you now . . .
Does your dad appreciate
that you are merely great?
Does your mother realize
you're such a treat for the eyes?
You must have been a beautiful baby,
you must have been a wonderful child . . .
When you were only startin'
to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild!
An' when it came to winning blue ribbons,
you must have shown the other kids how . . .
I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow!
Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby,
'cause baby look at you now . . . ( she's a cutie! )
And you're nobody until somebody loves you
You're nobody until somebody cares
You may be king and you may possess
The world and it's gold
But gold'll never buy you happiness
When you're growing old
You know the world still is the same
You'll never change it
Just as sure as the stars
Shine above
Yes, and you're nobody until somebody comes along to love you
So find yourself somebody to love
I said the world still is the same
You'll never change it
Just as sure as the stars
Shine above
You are nobody until somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody
I have got me somebody
Every night I sit here by my window, window
Starin' at the lonely avenue, avenue
Watchin' lovers holdin' hands n' laughin', laughin'
And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Thinkin' of things, like a walk in the park
Things, like a kiss in the dark
Things, like a sailboat ride
Yeah, yeah
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to, cling to
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to, talkin' to
When I'm not thinkin' of a just how much I love you, love you
Well, I'ma thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Thinkin' of things, like a walk in the park
Things, like a kiss in the dark
Things, like a sailboat ride
Yeah, yeah
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
I still can hear the jukebox softly playin', playin'
And the face I see each day belongs to you, belongs to you
Though there's not a single sound and there's nobody else around
Well, it's a just me thinkin' of the things we used to do
Thinkin' of things, like a walk in the park
Things, like a kiss in the dark
Things, like a sailboat ride
Yeah, yeah
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
You got me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
(You made me love you)
I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you and all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
(You made me happy sometimes)
You made me glad
(But there were times, dear)
You made me feel so bad, you made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do, you know I do
(So give me, give me, give me, give me what I cry for)
You know you got the kind of kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me
('Cause I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you I love somebody, it's true)
Yes, I do, you know, I do, oh, how I do
Give me, give me what I cry for
You know you've got the kind of kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you
If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it
Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah
What a neat achievement it would be
If we could talk to the animals, learn all their languages
I could take an animal degree
I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle
Alligator, guinea pig, and flea
I would converse in polar bear and python
And I would curse in fluent kangaroo
If people ask me, ?Can you speak rhinoceros??
I'd say, ?Of course, can't you??
If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal
Think of the amazing repartee
If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could talk to me
If I consulted with quadrupeds
Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea
Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions
What a lovely place the world would be
If I spoke slang to orangutans
The advantages why any fool on earth could plainly see
Discussing Eastern art and dramas with intellectual llamas
That's a big step forward you'll agree
I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle
And my Pekingese would be extremely good
If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus
I'd say, ?Why not a [unverified] and I would"
If I could parlay with pachyderms
It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm
A man who walks with the animals and talks with the animals
Grunts and squeaks and squawks with the animals
And they could talk to him
Let me hear 'em talk
I'd study every creature's language
So I could speak to all of them on site
If friends said, ?Can he talk in crab or maybe pelican??
You'd say, ?I canny can't and you'd be right?
And if you just stop and think of it ain't no doubt of it
I'm gonna win a place in history
If I could walk with the animals talk with the animals
Grunt, squeak, squawk with the animals
The lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
She didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my place
I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
The lady's name was Susan Moore
Her daddy read the law
She didn't know that I was poor
And lived outside the law
Her daddy said, I was a thief
And didn't marry her for love
But I was Susan's true belief
I married her for love
I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
House she lived in had a wall
To keep the robbers out
She'd never stop to think at all
That's what I'm about
I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Then I fell in love with the lady
Splish, splash, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night, yeah
A rub dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everythin' was alright
Well, I stepped out the tub
I put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I
Opened the door
And then a-splish, splash
I jumped back in the bath
Well, how was I to know
There was a party goin' on?
There was a-splishin' and a-splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin'
Rockin' and a-rollin', yeah, yeah
Bing, bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancin' on my living room rug, yeah
Flip, flop, they was doin' the bop
All the teens had the dancin' but
There was lollipop with a Peggy Sue
Good golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too
A- well-a, splish, splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin' shoes on, yeah
I was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin'
Splishin' and a-splashin', yeah
Yes, I was a-splishin' and a-splashin'
I was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Yeah, I was a-movin' and a-groovin'
We was a-reelin' with the feelin'
We was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Movin' with the groovin'
Splish, splash, yeah
Splishin' and a-splashin'
One time I was splishin' and a-splashin'
Ooh, I was movin' and a-groovin'
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Brother you don't know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on a corner, watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
I'm the cat that's got the cream
I haven't got a girl but I can dream
Haven't got a girl but I can wish
So I take me down to main street
And that's where I select my imaginary dish
You find me standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Hanging around the corner giving all the girls the eye
Brother if you've got a rich imagination
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Try standing on a corner, watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
It's Saturday and I'm so broke, I couldn't buy a girl a five cent pork
Still I'm living like a millionaire when I take me down the main street
And I review the harem parading for me there
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Hanging around the corner underneath the spring time sky
Brother you'll never go to jail for what you're thinking
Or for that look in your eye
Try standing on the corner watching all the girls
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war
Hey there, Mister Black Man, can you hear me?
I don't want your diamonds or your game
I just want to be someone known to you as me
And I will bet my life you want the same
So come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war
Seven hundred million are you listening?
Most of what you read is made of lies
But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun
To wake to in the morning when we rise?
So come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung, before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want a war
Brother [Incomprehensible] are you busy?
If not won't you drop this friend a line?
Tell me if the man who is plowing up your land
Has got the war machine upon his mind
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want a war
Now no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So let us build them shelves
Where they can fight among themselves
And leave the people be who like to sing
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want a war
I sat, let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want a war
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere, waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
He's
(She's)
There watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to his
(Her)
Arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond, a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea
You're gonna miss me
Early in the mornin'
One of these days ... oh, yeah ...
Well ... you're gonna want me
Early in the mornin'
When I'm away ... don't ya know ...
Yes ... you'll be sorry
For the times I cried
You'll be sorry
For the time you lied ...
Well ... you're gonna miss me
Early in the mornin'
One of these days ... whoa, yeah ...
Well ... ya know a rollin' stone
Don't gather no moss
And you cross your bridge
When it's time to cross.
Well ... you broke my heart
When you said goodbye
Now the milk is spilt
But you're gonna cry.
Yeah ... early in the mornin'
You're gonna know
That I was right ... oh, yeah ... yeah ...
Well ... early in the mornin'
When there's nobody
To hold you tight ... oh, oh ...
Well ... you're gonna want me
Want me bad
You're gonna miss
The best man you ever had
Yes ... you're gonna miss me
You're gonna want me
One of these days.
Whoa, don't ya know ... yeah ...
Oh, yeah ...
Well ... you're gonna want me
Want me bad
You'll miss the best man
You ever had
Well ... you're gonna miss me
You're gonna want me
One of these days ... oh, yeah ...
Early in the mornin' ...
Early in the mornin' ...
When mistletoe and tinsel glow
Paint a Yuletide valentine
Back home, I go to those I know
For a Christmas Auld Lang Syne
And as we gather 'round the tree
Our voices, all combine
In sweet accord, we thank the Lord
For a Christmas Auld Lang Syne
When sleigh bells ring
And choirs sing and the children's faces shine
With each new toy, we share their joy
With a Christmas Auld Lang Syne
We sing His praise, this day of days
And pray next year, this time
We'll all be near to share the cheer
Of a Christmas Auld Lang Syne
Merry Christmas, everybody
And a happy New Year
In sweet accord, we thank the Lord
Soft as the April snow
Lovely as indigo
You only kissed me
and paradise smiled
and the man was a child
and the wind was+ so wild.
here's what I mean++ to say
Love me
If only for today +++
Let me know April and indigo blue
and let paradise smile for me, too.
(Instrumental)

Now this town is full of guys
Who think they're mighty wise
Just because they know a thing or two
You can see them everyday
Strolling up and down Broadway
Telling of the wonders they can do
Well, there's conmen and there's boosters
Card sharks and crap shooters
They congregate around the Metropole
They wear fancy ties and collars
But where they get their dollars
While they all got an ace in the hole
Some of them write to the old folks for coin
Well, that's their old ace in the hole
Others have gals on the old Tenderloin
Well, that's their old ace in the hole
They'll tell you all the trips
That they are going to take
From 'Frisco up to that old North Pole
Now their names would be mud
Like a old chump playing stud
If they lost that old ace in the hole
Now some of them write to the old folks for coin
And lets their old ace in the hole
And others well, they have gals on the old Tenderloin
And that's their old ace in the hole
Well, they'll tell you all the trips
That they are going to take
From 'Frisco up to that old North Pole
Now their names would be mud
Like a chump playing stud
If they lost that old ace in the hole
You have the cool, clear eyes
Of a seeker of wisdom and truth
Yet there's that up-turned chin
And the grin of impetuous youth
Oh, I believe in you
I believe in you.
I hear the sound of good, solid judgment
Whenever you talk
Yet there's the bold, brave spring of the tiger
That quickens your walk
Oh, I believe in you
I believe in you.
And when my faith
In my fellow man
All but falls apart
I've but to feel your hand grasping mine
And I take heart
I take heart.
To see the cool, clear eyes
Of a seeker of wisdom and truth
Yet there's that slam, bang, tang
Reminiscent of gin and vermouth
Oh, I believe in you
Now I believe in you.
I believe in you
I believe in you ...
Whatever you've done it's all over
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
It's fun to wander along a yesterday road
trying so hard to retain
All of the wondrous and beautiful times that
never can happen again.
So get yourself up off your past, friend
There's so much to rearrange
Tomorrow sits right next to never

Look at me
This at least you owe me
Just a glance to show me
That you really care
Look at me
Pride is taken from me
And tears just don't become me
But they're always there
Just one look
One look will do
That's all it took
To make me fall in love with you
Please turn around
I'll be looking for you
Waiting to adore you
Baby, look at me
Just one look
One look will do
That's all it took
To make me fall in love with you
So turn around
I'll be looking for you
Waiting to adore you
They say there's a tree in the forest
A tree that will give you a sign
Come along with me to the sweetheart tree
Come and carve your name next to mine.
They say if you kiss the right sweetheart
The one you've been waiting for
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore.
They say if you kiss the right sweetheart
The one you've been waiting for
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore.
Evermore ...
Wettin' it down, boss
Wet it down
Wipin' it off, boss
Wipe it off.
Doin' ten to twenty hard
Swingin' twelve pounds in the yard
Every day
Every day.
I came in with a group of twenty
There ain't left but half as many
In the clay
In the clay.
Long line rider, turn away.
There's a farm in Arkansas
Got some secrets in its floor
In decay
In decay.
You can tell where they're at
Nothin' grows, the ground is flat
Where they lay
Where they lay.
Long line rider, turn away.
All the records show so clear
Not a single man was here
Anyway
Anyway.
That's the tale the warden tells
As he counts his empty shells
By the day
By the day.
Hey, long line rider, turn away.
Somone screams investigate
'scuse me sir it's a little late
Let us pray
Let us pray.
This kinda thing can't happen here
'specially not in an election year
Outta my way
Outta my way.
Hey, long line rider, turn away.
There's a funny taste in the air
Big bulldozers everywhere
Diggin' clay
Turnin' clay.
And the ground coughs up some roots
Wearin' denim shirts and boots
Haul 'em away
Haul 'em away.
Hey, long line rider, turn away.
Well I heard a brother moan
Why they plowin' up my home
In this way
In this way.
I said, buddy, shake your gloom
They're just here to make more room
In the clay.
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in this sand?
Yes, an' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, an' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, an' how many times must a man turn his head
An' pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, it is blowin' in the wind
An' the answer is blowin' in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, an' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, an' how many deaths will it take until he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
I similau, I similau
I similau, I similau
Spirit in the wood beat the hollow cane
Spirit in the wood take away the pain
Make the body ripe and alive again
I similau
(I similau, I similau)
Spirit in the heart make the blood flow fast
Spirit in the heart make the beauty last
Keep the hope alive when the youth go past
I similau
(I similau, I similau)
When my lover comes upon the scene
Drop a petal from the tree
Fling the mountain up into the sky
Fill the river with the sea
Spirit in the wood let the hollow cane
Echo in the afterglow
Waiting for the flame to burn again
I similau
Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned
towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your
head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to
talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the
ground
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more
time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time
around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain
now
Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na
na na na
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more
time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time
around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain
now
I will leave you at the end of never
Come whatever Not before
When this earth is chilled by the sun
Then the love we've begun
Will be over and done
I will leave you far beyond forever
Past the music heaven hums
But I pray the end of never
Never comes
And I pray the end of never
Never comes
If a man answers your phone when I call
Ooh, there's gonna be some screamin' and that ain't all
'Cause if I'm here callin' you, then who's the who I'm talkin' to?
Why any fool could see that for sure it ain't me
So, if a man answers your phone, then, honey we're through
Now, everything between us used to be fine
Till I became a third party where there ain't no party line
You hear me talkin', gonna hang this phone up now and dial again
Ohh, and there better be a soprano on the other end
'Cause if the voice is baritone when you told me you'd be home alone
Well, then I'm wastin' my time, a-not to mention my dime
So, if a man answers your phone then, honey I'm gone
Now, everything between us used to be fine
Till I became a third party where there ain't no party line
You hear me talkin', gonna hang this phone up now and dial again
Ohh, and there better be a soprano on the other end
'Cause if the voice is baritone when you told me you'd be home alone
Well, then I'm wastin' my time, not to mention my dime
So, if a man answers your phone then, honey I'm gone
There are sad things
There are bad things, the blues
When they threaten, start betting you'll lose
You hide yourself behind a prayer
The blues'll come and they'll find you there
I mean the blues, they call Pete Kelly's Blues
There's no exit
You can try the blues
If you're born with
You will die with the blues
Think what you choose
That happy dream is yours they say
If you can pay the dues
That's why I'm stuck with
Fresh outta luck with the blues
There's no exit
None you can try with the blues
See if you're born with
You gotta die with the blues
Think what you choose
That happy dream is yours they say
If you can pay the dues
That's why I'm stuck with
So outta luck with the blues
Some call 'em Pete Kelly's Blues
You can call 'em anything you choose
My plain Jane never wear no lipstick or paint.
You know she'll never try to be what she ain't.
Come early in the mornin' you can hear the fella's call (woo!)
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight so we can have a ball.
(Yes, sir now)
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out

Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me.
Her mouth's a little too wide and her nose a wee bit long.
And when you take a good look at her her shape seems all wrong.
But she got this little somethin' that's so hard to define;
And I wish that little somethin' was mine, all mine, all mine! (woo!)
And ol' Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come
out tonight.
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me.
-----------
(Oh, wee!)
(Oh, Yeah!)
----------
I used to go with glamor girls to worship day and night.
But Plain Jane has a cotton dress and it don't fit her right.
Icould never, never tell 'ya why I love her like I do,
But if you took her out one fine night, you'd feel the same way I do.
(won't cha now)
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out
tonight.
Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me.
I say, spend some time with me.
Woo!, Plain Jane
I love her just the same.

And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red, oh, let it swing, yeah
On a sidewalk, blue Sunday mornin'
Lies a body oozin' life
Some, someone's sneakin' 'round a corner
Tell me, could that someone be Old Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat down by the river, don't you know?

Five'll got to gift you ten Old Macky's back in town

I mean, I tell you that line forms way on the right, babe
Now, that Macky's back in town
I?m a lonesome polecat, lonesome, sad and blue
'Cause I ain?t got no feminine polecat
Vowin? to be true
Can?t make no vow to a herd of cows
I?m a mean old hound dog, bayin? at the moon
'Cause I ain?t got no lady friend hound dog
Here to hear my tune
A man can?t sleep when he sleeps with sheep
I?m a little old hoot owl hootin? in the trees
'Cause I ain?t got no little gal owl fowl
Here to shoot the breeze
Can?t shoot no breeze with a bunch of trees
Why can?t I lose these lonesome polecat blues?
Ave Maria by Bobby Prins
Ik kwam naar deze kerk
En zeg je mijn gebed, Maria
Ik smeek je luister toch, verhoor nu mijn gesprek, Maria
Een goeie vriend van mij is toch zo ernstig ziek, Maria
Daarom vraag ik jou, red z n leven als het kan
Ave Maria, ik bid tot jou
Zou je hem willen helpen?
Oh, lieve vrouw
Ave Maria, ik bid tot jou
Laat m n vriend toch genezen
Hij was mij altijd trouw
Dicht bij het altaar steek ik nu een kaarsje aan, Maria
Het Weesgegroet ken ik al niet meer uit m n hoofd, Maria
Maar op mijn manier bid ik hier toch een gebed
Ave Maria, ik bid tot jou
Zou je hem willen helpen?
Oh, lieve vrouw
Ave Maria, ik bid tot jou
Laat m n vriend toch genezen
Hij was mij altijd trouw
Ave Maria, ik bid tot jou
Zou je hem willen helpen?
Oh, lieve vrouw
Ave Maria, ik bid tot jou
Laat m n vriend toch genezen
Hij was mij altijd trouw
Sorrow, tomorrow
Sorrow, tomorrow ...
Makin' eyes at all the guys
While you dance with me
I must be blind to love your kind
'cause it's so plain to see ...
If I should love you
For more than tonight ...
There would be sorrow
There would be heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow.
Havin' fun with anyone
Livin' for today
My achin' heart is torn apart
I just can't live that way ...
If I should love you
For more than tonight ...
There would be sorrow
There would be heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow.
Trouble's waitin' just around the corner
Heartache's waitin' just around the bend
I don't want to think about tomorrow
'cause tomorrow my happiness could end.
I asked my pride to step aside
I know this love's so wrong
Can't stand the pain
Of lovin' in vain it's not where I belong ...
If I should love you
For more than tonight ...
There would be sorrow
There would be heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow.
You believe me ...
There would be sorrow
There would be heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow ...
I know ... you know
That there would be ... sorrow
There would be ... heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow.
Was there a call for me
I had to talk to someone
Waiting for days is driving me crazy
Was there a call for me
When lovers disagree
All of your dreams come undone
I am not denying, it got me crying
Was there a call for me
My lips are growing cold
My two arms long to hold
And thanks to you my story is told
By the way, once again I'm saying, "Was there a call for me"
Unfriendly clouds give warning
Here comes the dawning, cold rainy morning
Was there a call from me
Here comes the dawning, cold rainy morning
Was there a cold for me
Filled with the mist of tears I've resist
Tell me, was there a call for me
Cold winds may blow o'er the icy sea But I'll take with
me the warmth of thee A taste of honey A taste much
sweeter than wine
He will return He will return He'll come back For the
honey and me
I'll leave behind my heart to wear And may it e'er remind
you of A taste of honey A taste much sweeter than wine
He will return He will return He'll come back For the
honey and me
You have the cool, clear eyes
Of a seeker of wisdom and truth
Yet there's that up-turned chin
And the grin of impetuous youth
Oh, I believe in you
I believe in you.
I hear the sound of good, solid judgment
Whenever you talk
Yet there's the bold, brave spring of the tiger
That quickens your walk
Oh, I believe in you
I believe in you.
And when my faith
In my fellow man
All but falls apart
I've but to feel your hand grasping mine
And I take heart
I take heart.
To see the cool, clear eyes
Of a seeker of wisdom and truth
Yet there's that slam, bang, tang
Reminiscent of gin and vermouth
Oh, I believe in you
Now I believe in you.
I believe in you
I believe in you ...
I believe you're good for me, baby
They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the chicks are somethin' else
On Broadway
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
On Broadway
I'm gonna make it, yeah
On Broadway
I'll be a big, big man
On Broadway
I'll have my name in lights
On Broadway
Everybody gonna know me
On Broadway
All up and down Broadway
On Broadway

How many roads must a man walk down,
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail,
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly,
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years must a mountain exist,
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist,
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head,
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up,
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have,
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows,
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Hello young lovers whoever you are
I hope your troubles are few
All my good wishes go with you tonight
I've been in love like you
Be brave young lovers and follow your star
Be brave and faithful and true
Cling very close to each other tonight

And you meet, not really by chance
Don't cry young lovers whatever you do
Don't cry because I'm alone
All of my mem'ries are happy tonight

To protect you and to be your guide?
Baby, I'm so in love with you

When somebody loves you
Its no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
Thats how its got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
Thats how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you
Its no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if youll let me love you
Its for sure Im gonna love you - all the way, all the way

If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade
Would you still find me?
Carrying the pots I'd made
Following behind me
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrows
I've given you my onliness
Give me your tomorrows
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me babe, "Yes I would"
I would put you above me
If I were a miller, yeah
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored box
Little girl, your soft sweet shoe shinning
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Would you marry me anyway?
Oh, give me something to remember you by
When you are far away from me
Just a little something, meaning love cannot die
No matter where you chance to be
So I'll pray for you, night and day for you
It will see me through like a charm 'til you return
So give me something I can remember you by
When you are far away from me
So I'll pray for you, every single day for you
It will see me through like a charm until you return
Give me something, something to remember you by

In a cavern
Down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner
From North Carolina
And his daughter
Chubby Clementine.
Now, every mornin'
Yeah just about dawnin'
When the sun
Began to shine
You know she would rouse up
Wake all-a-dem cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.
I took the footbridge
Way 'cross the water
Though she weighed
Two ninety-nine
The old bridge trembled
And disassembled oops!
Dumped her into the foamy brine.
Hey crack like thunder hut, hut
You know she went under hut, hut
Blowin bubbles down the line
Hey! I'm no swimm'a
But were she slimm'a
I might'a saved
That Clementine.
Ho she broke the record
Way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous
Not until the service
That they held
For Clementine.
Hey you sailor hut, hut
Way out in your whaler
A-with your harpoon an your trusty line
If she shows now,yell...
A-there she blows now!
It just may be
Chunky, Clementine.
One more time!
Oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin' sweet Clementine
You may be gone but
You're not forgotten
Fare thee well
So long
Clementine
[CHORUS]
If anybody asks you who I am
Who I am, who I am

Rock the cradle, rock the cradle
Peace on Earth
Mary, rock the cradle
Christ child born in glory
[Repeat CHORUS]
The little cradle rocks
Tonight in glory, tonight in glory
Tonight in glory
The little cradle rocks
Tonight in glory
Christ child born in glory

Do you believe
He was born in a stable
Born in a stable, born in a stable
Do you believe
He was born in a stable
Christ child born in glory
[Repeat CHORUS]
Now repeat it once
[Repeat CHORUS]
Keep on telling them
(Tell them I'm a child of God)
Keep a telling then
(Tell them I'm a child of God)
I mean tell them
There's a story the Gypsies know is true
That when your love wears golden earrings
She belongs to you
An old love story that's known to very few
But if you wear these golden earrings
Love will come to you
By the burning fire they will glow with every coal
You will hear desire whisper low in your soul
So be my Gypsy
Make love your guiding light
And let this pair of golden earrings cast their spell tonight
By the burning fire they will glow with every coal
You will hear desire whisper low inside your soul
So be my Gypsy
Make love your guiding light
And let this pair of golden earrings cast their spell tonight
Let this pair golden earrings do their work tonight
(B. Howard)
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
Dream dream lover
Dream dream lover
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
Because I want a girl to call my own
Chorus
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover where are you
With a love oh so true
And a hand that I can hold
To feel you near when I grow old
Because I want a girl to call my own
Chorus
Someday I don't know how
I hope you'll hear my plea
Someway I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Until my lover's dream come true
Because I want a girl to call my own
Chorus
Oh?I got to hold on (someway)
But I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Her love to me
Dream lover until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Until my lover's dream come true
Because I want a girl to call my own
Chorus 3 X
Dream dream lover
Dream dream lover
He's a ruthless opportunist
And he motivates by greed
He's just the way his father was
And that we sure don't need
So they all cried out destroy him
For he wants to see us drowned
They never understood him
So they put him in the ground.
Now some had stood for hours
And some sat on the grass
Listening to their radios
For where the train had passed
And a crowd will get impatient
As the clock hands turn around
They never understood him
So they put him in the ground.
They handed out some candles
To the somber weary crowd
And told us not to light them
Till our eyes beheld the shroud
Not even at that moment
Could there be tranquility
I could feel them push and argue
Hey, sit down, I cannot see
They never understood him
So they put him in the ground.
When the fathers closed their bibles
And the family left the site
The ropes and walls and hedges
Kind of faded in the night
Replaced by all the people
Who made a prayerful sound
They never understood him
So they put him in the ground.
Some people say the eighth of June
But the morning of the ninth
The workmen gently lowered him
By the beam of three work lights
Easy, take it easy
Set him down real slow
He'd been on some rougher trips
But he couldn't tell them so
They never understood him
So they put him in the ground.
Now no man has the answers
And he was just a man
And yet I can't help feelin'
That he knew a better plan
A shorter road to justice
On the trip that's freedom bound
But they never understood him
So they put him in the ground.
Well, I'm on my wayto Canaan's land
I'm on my wayto Canaan's land

I'm on my way
Great God All-a-mighty
You know I'm on my way
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When youre in love, my how they fly
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on
Though you vacation in Hawaii
Or go to Switzerland to ski
When you're scanning the snow covered mountain
Or fanning yourself by the sea
Don't dream of anybody but me
Though you may fly the Scottish Highlands
Or take a trip to some isle near Napoli
When you're whistling 'The Campbells Are Coming'
Or humming 'The Isle Of Capri'
Don't dream of anybody but me
In a cafe on the Rhine
Any place along the line
I'll forgive you when a stranger
Puts your little heart in danger
If his face resembles mine
When a guy at a mike in a nightclub
Begins bellowing something off-key
Won't even mind
If suddenly he reminds you of me
No matter where you care to roam
Doesn't even matter whom you choose to see
Whenever your head hits that pillow
Whatever the hour may be
Don't dream of anybody but me
Don't dream of anybody but me
Don't dream of anybody but me
Sunday
Where has what you stood for gone
Sunday
Have you been asleep
You say keep the faith but there's no faith
to keep.
Sunday
Master of a dyin' breed
Sunday
Lyin' in a heap
You say keep the faith but there's no faith
to keep.
Sunday
Virgin child who can't wear white
Sunday
Much too late to weep
You say keep the faith but there's no faith
to keep.
Sunday
Tellin' lies on history
Sunday
Ain't you in too deep
You say keep the faith but there's no faith

Sunday
Bow down to the blood you've shed
Sunday
Bodies piled so steep
You say keep the faith but there's no faith

Sunday
Let the people sleep
You say keep the faith but there's no faith

You say keep the faith but there's no faith

I have left the seed of life
From South Hampton to Singapore
And if tomorrow morning comes
I guess I'll leave some more.
I'm a captain without an ocean
And a lover without emotion
And a monk free of devotion
But I am, most of all, I am.
I have worn the country's colors
In a thousand different ways
I have won the game of life
Upon the table which it plays.
I'm a sun without a setting
And a tear without regretting
I'm a mind full of forgetting
But I am, most of all, I am.
Forgive me while I kiss away
This thought that's in my head
But it's the only proof I have
That this old man ain't dead.
I'm a robin without its wings
And a song nobody sings
To the ivy no one clings
But I am, most of all, I am.
Yes I am, most of all, I am.
It had to be you,
it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true,
and could make me be blue
And even be glad,
just to be sad -
thinking of you
Some others I've seen,
might never be mean
Might never be cross,
or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else,
gave me a thrill -
with all your faults,
I love you still
It had to be you,
wonderful you
It had to be you
Softly as in a mornin' sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a newborn day.
Flamin' with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
The vow that all betray.
For the passions that thrill love
Lift you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And lead ya down to hell
Same old story ...
Softly as in an evenin' sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away.
For the passions that thrill love
And lift you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And lead ya into hell
Same old story ...
Softly, softly as in an evenin' sunset, sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away.
"Say Richard ... I don't wanna be a drag or anything,
But the title of this tune is 'Softly' so could we do
it that way, please?"
Softly, softly as in an evenin' sunset, sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away.
Did you hear the story 'bout old Bullmoose?
He played piano, really tore it loose.
Whenever his heart was filled with gloom
He'd beat out a song in the old lunchroom.
All the guys and gals would gather 'round
Just to hear that Bullmoose sound.
Sayin' ...
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Bullmoose playin' on a Friday night
Two bad boys got up to fight.
One old man yelled, "Hey, keep quiet!"
The next thing you know they started a riot.
While everybody was-a jumpin' around
All you could hear was that Bullmoose sound.
Sayin' ...
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose, a-turn 'em loose!
Bullmoose goin' to a party one day
Everybody asked him, "Won't you sit down and play?"
When all of a sudden the room began to shake
"Whoops!" he cried, "It's a real earthquake."
While the people were fallin' into holes in the ground
All you could hear was that Bullmoose sound.
Sayin' ...
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose, come on Bullmoose!
Let me hear it like it is, Bullmo ...
Now this town is full of guys
Who think they're mighty wise
Just because they know a thing or two
You can see them everyday
Strolling up and down Broadway
Telling of the wonders they can do
Well, there's conmen and there's boosters
Card sharks and crap shooters
They congregate around the Metropole
They wear fancy ties and collars
But where they get their dollars
While they all got an ace in the hole
Some of them write to the old folks for coin
Well, that's their old ace in the hole
Others have gals on the old Tenderloin
Well, that's their old ace in the hole
They'll tell you all the trips
That they are going to take
From 'Frisco up to that old North Pole
Now their names would be mud
Like a old chump playing stud
If they lost that old ace in the hole
Now some of them write to the old folks for coin
And lets their old ace in the hole
And others well, they have gals on the old Tenderloin
And that's their old ace in the hole
Well, they'll tell you all the trips
That they are going to take
From 'Frisco up to that old North Pole
Now their names would be mud
Like a chump playing stud
If they lost that old ace in the hole

Who? Why, your lady friend, that's who.

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailin'
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'
No more sailin'
So long sailin'
I wanna brand new house with an old brown jug
And an old spinnin? wheel on an old hook rug
For my brand new house and my brand new bride
With lotsa lovin? locked inside
I?m gonna bolt all the windows and lock up the door
I?m gonna love ya, baby, like never before
In my brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin? locked inside
I wanna grandfather clock and an easy chair
With a mother Hubbard cupboard that?ll never be bare
My brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin? locked inside
I?m gonna draw all the curtains and pull all the drapes
To make sure none of our lovin? escapes
From a brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin? locked inside
And when the landlord comes to call
There won?t be no one here at all
And when I hear the ringin? of the phone
I?ll pick it up and say, ?We ain?t home?
Don?t wanna fancy car, don?t need no furs
Just wanna a pair of towels marked his and hers
For my brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin? locked inside
I don?t know where I?m goin?, don?t know where I?ve been
I don?t wanna a house with the world creepin? in
To my brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin? locked inside
Lotsa lovin? locked inside so much lovin? child
Lotsa lovin? locked inside
One more time
Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say, "Hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day
Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough loving you

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough loving you
I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kiddin', only me
'Cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a helpless case
Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough loving you
I can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
