202. IT’S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY
1912
UP IN MIGHTY LONDON
CAME AN IRISH LAD ONE DAY.
ALL THE STREETS WERE PAVED WITH GOLD,
SO EVERYONE WAS GAY.
SINGING SONGS OF PICADILLY,
STRANG AND LECEISTER SQUARE,
TIL PADDY GOT EXCITED
AND HE SHOUTED TO THEM THERE:
CHORUS
IT’S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY,
IT’S A LONG WAY TO GO.
IT’S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY,
TO THE SWEETEST GIRL l KNOW.
GOODBYE PICADILLY.
FAREWELL LECEISTER SQUARE.
IT’S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY,
BUT MY HEART’S RIGHT THERE.
PADDY WROTE A LETTER
TO HIS IRISH MOLLY O’,
SAYING, “SHOULD YOU NOT RECEIVE IT,
WRITE AND LET ME KNOW.
IF I MAKES MISTAKES IN SPELLING,
MOLLY DEAR”, SAID HE.
“REMEMBER IT’S THE PEN THAT’S BAD,
DON’T LAY THE BLAME ON ME.”
REPEAT CHORUS
MOLLY WRITES A NEAT REPLY
TO IRISH PADDY O’,
SAYING, “MIKE MAHONEY
WANTS TO MARRY ME, AND SO —
LEAVE THE STRAND AND PICADILLY,
OR YOU’LL BE TO BLAME,
FOR LOVE HAS FAIRLY DROVE ME SILLY,
HOPING YOU’RE THE SAME.”
REPEAT CHORUS
1203. IT’S A SIN TO TELL A LIE 1936 |
BE SURE IT’S TRUE
WHEN YOU SAY, “I LOVE YOU.”
IT’S A SIN TO TELL A LIE.
MILLIONS OF HEARTS HAVE BEEN BROKEN
JUST BECAUSE THESE WORDS
WERE SPOKEN.
I LOVE YOU, YES I DO. I LOVE YOU.
IF YOU BREAK MY HEART I’LL DIE.
SO BE SURE IT’S TRUE
WHEN YOU SAY, “I LOVE YOU.”
IT’S A SIN TO TELL A LIE.
1204. IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME 1945 |
KISS ME ONCE AND KISS ME TWICE,
THEN KISS ME ONCE AGAIN,
IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME.
HAVEN’T FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE
SINCE CAN’T REMEMBER WHEN,
IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME.
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW HOW MANY
DREAMS I’VE DREAMED ABOUT YOU,
OR JUST HOW EMPTY
THEY ALL SEEM WITHOUT YOU.
SO KISS ME ONCE AND KISS ME
TWICE AND KISS ME ONCE AGAIN,
IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME.

1205. IT’S MAGIC 1947 |
YOU SIGH THE SONG BEGINS,
YOU SPEAK AND I HEAR VIOLINS;
IT’S MAGIC.
THE STARS DESERT THE SKIES
AND RUSH TO NESTLE IN YOUR EYES;
IT’S MAGIC.
WITHOUT A GOLDEN WAND
OR MYSTIC CHARMS,
FANTASTIC THINGS BEGIN
WHEN I AM IN YOUR ARMS.
WHEN WE WALK HAND IN HAND
THE WORLD BECOMES A WONDERLAND;
IT’S MAGIC.
HOW ELSE CAN I EXPLAIN
THE RAINBOW WHEN THERE IS NO RAIN;
IT’S MAGIC.
WHY DO I TELL MYSELF THESE THINGS
THAT HAPPEN ARE ALL REALLY TRUE?
WHEN IN MY HEART i KNOW
THE MAGIC IS MY LOVE FOR YOU.
1206. IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON 1933 |
SAY, IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON
SAILING OVER A CARDBOARD SEA.
BUT IT WOULDN’T BE MAKE-BELIEVE
IF YOU BELIEVED IN ME.
YES, IT’S ONLY A CANVAS SKY
HANGING OVER A MUSLIN TREE.
BUT IT WOULDN’T BE MAKE-BELIEVE
IF YOU BELIEVED IN ME.
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE,
IT’S A HONKY-TONK PARADE.
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE,
IT’S THE MELODY PLAYED
IN A PENNY ARCADE.
IT’S A BARNUM AND BAILEY WORLD,
JUST AS PHONY AS IT CAN BE.
BUT IT WOULDN’T BE MAKE-BELIEVE
IF YOU BELIEVED IN ME.
207. I’VE BEEN WORKING
ON THE RAILROAD 1894
I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD
ALL THE LIVE-LONG DAY.
I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD
JUST TO PASS THE TIME AWAY.
DON’TCHA HEAR THE WHISTLE BLOWING,
RISE UP SO EARLY IN THE MORN?
DON’TCHA HEAR THE CAPTAIN SHOUTING,
DINAH BLOW YOUR HORN?
DINAH WON’TCHA BLOW,
DINAH WON’TCHA BLOW,
DINAH WON’TCHA BLOW YOUR HORN?
DINAH WON’TCHA BLOW,
DINAH WON’TCHA BLOW,
DINAH WON’TCHA BLOW YOUR HORN?
SOMEONE’S IN THE KITCHEN WITH DINAH,
SOMEONE’S IN THE KITCHEN I KNOW.
SOMEONE’S IN THE KITCHEN WITH DINAH,
STRUMMIN’ ON THE OLD BANJO.

208. I’VE GOT A LOVERLY
BUNCH OF COCONUTS 1944
I’VE GOT A LOVERLY BUNCH
OF COCONUTS.
THERE THEY ARE A-STANDIN’ IN A ROW.
BIG ONES, SMALL ONES,
SOME AS BIG AS YOUR HEAD.
GIVE ‘EM A TWIST, A FLICK OF THE WRIST,
THAT’S WHAT THE SHOWMAN SAID.
I’VE GOT A LOVERLY BUNCH
OF COCONUTS.
EVERY BALL YOU THROW
WILL MAKE ME RICH.
THERE STANDS ME WIFE,

209. I’VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING
__________________________________ 1932
I’VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING,
SITTING ON A RAINBOW,
GOT THE STRING AROUND MY FINGER.
LUCKY ME, DON’T YOU SEE, I’M IN LOVE?
I’VE GOT A SONG THAT I SING,
I CAN MAKE THE RAIN GO,
ANYTIME I MOVE MY FINGER.
LUCKY ME, DON’T YOU SEE, I’M IN LOVE?
LIFE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING,
AS LONG AS I HOLD THE STRING.
I’D BE A SILLY SO AND SO,
IF I SHOULD EVER LET IT GO.
I’VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING,
SITTING ON A RAINBOW,
GOT THE STRING AROUND MY FINGER.
WHAT A WORLD, WHAT A LIFE,
I’M IN LOVE.
210. I WANT A GIRL 1911 I
I WANT A GIRL, JUST LIKE THE GIRL
THAT MARRIED DEAR OLD DAD.
SHE WAS A PEARL AND THE ONLY GIRL
THAT DADDY EVER HAD.
A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED GIRL
WITH HEART SO TRUE;
ONE WHO LOVED
NOBODY ELSE BUT YOU.
I WANT A GIRL, JUST LIKE THE GIRL
THAT MARRIED DEAR OLD DAD.
211. I WONDER WHO’S
KISSING HER NOW 1909
I WONDER WHO’S KISSING HER NOW.
I WONDER WHO’S TEACHING HER HOW.
I WONDER WHO’S GAZING
INTO HER EYES,
BREATHING SIGHS, TELLING 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.
1212. JADA 1919 |
YOU’VE HEARD ALL ABOUT
YOUR RAGGY MELODIES.
EVERYTHING FROM OPERA,
DOWN TO HARMONY.
BUT I’VE A LITTLE SONG
THAT I WILL SING TO YOU.
IT’S GOING TO WIN YOU THRU & THRU.
THERE AIN’T MUCH TO THE WORDS,
BUT THE MUSIC IS GRAND.
YOU’LL BE SINGING TO BEAT THE BAND.
NOW YOU’VE HEARD OF YOUR
“WILL 0” THE WISP,”
BUT GIVE A LITTLE LISTIEN TO THIS:
IT GOES,
JA DA, JA DA, —JA DA JA DA JING JING JING.
JA DA, JA DA, —JA DA JA DA JING JING JING.
THAT’S A FUNNY LITTLE BIT OF MELODY
IT’S SO SOOTHING AND APPEALING TO ME.
IT GOES
JA DA, JA DA, —JA DA JA DA JING JING JING.

1214. JEALOUS 1924 |
I’M JEALOUS OF
THE MOON THAT SHINES ABOVE.
BECAUSE IT SMILES
UPON THE ONE I LOVE.
I’M JEALOUS OF
THE BIRDIES IN THE TREES.
THEY’RE ALWAYS SINGING
SWEETEST MELODIES.
I’M JEALOUS OF
THE PRETTY FLOWERS TOO.
I MISS THE KISS
THEY ALWAYS GET FROM YOU.
I’M JEALOUS OF
THE TICK-TOCK ON THE SHELF.

1216. JINGLE BELLS 1857 |
DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW,
IN A ONE-HORSE OPEN SLEIGH.
O’ER THE FIELDS WE GO,
LAUGHING ALL THE WAY.
BELLS ON BOB-TAIL RING,
MAKING SPIRITS BRIGHT.
OH, WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE AND SING
A SLEIGHING SONG TONIGHT.
CHORUS — SING 2 TIMES
JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS,
JINGLE ALL THE WAY.
OH, WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
IN A ONE-HORSE OPEN SLEIGH.
A DAY OR TWO AGO,
THE STORY I MUST TELL
I WENT OUT ON THE SNOW
AND ON MY BACK I FELL.
A GENT WAS RIDING BY,
IN A ONE-HORSE OPEN SLEIGH.
HE LAUGHED AS I WAS SPRAWLING THERE,
BUT QUICKLY DROVE AWAY.
REPEAT CHORUS — SING 2 TIMES

1217. JOSEPHINE 1937 |
THERE NEVER WAS A GAL I COULD LOVE,
LIKE I LOVE MY JOSEPHINE.
SHE’S A FLIRT, SHE’S A SCAMP,
SHE’S THE VAMPIEST VAMP
I’VE EVER SEEN.
IT SEEMS TO ME SHE’S ALWAYS FLIRTING,
WITH THE FELLOWS PASSING BY.
BUT WHEN I SAY SHE WINKS,
THEN SHE TELLS ME SHE THINKS,
THERE’S A CINDER IN HER EYE.
I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE BETTER
IF I’D LEAVE HER AND FORGET.
EVERYBODY SAYS IT WOULD BE WISE.
BUT EACH TIME THAT I GO OUT TO DANCE
WITH SOMEBODY ELSE,
I FIND MYSELF DANCING
WITH TEARS IN MY EYES.
FOR THERE’S NOBODY QUITE SO NICE,
WHO CAN BE QUITE SO MEAN,
AS MY GAL, WHAT A GAL, JOSEPHINE.
1218. JOY TO THE WORLD 1719 l
JOY TO THE WORLD, THE LORD HAS COME.
LET EARTH RECEIVE HER KING.
LET EVERY HEART, PREPARE HIM ROOM,
AND HEAVEN AND NATURE SING,
AND HEAVEN AND NATURE SING,
AND HEAVEN AND HEAVEN
AND NATURE SING.
JOY TO THE EARTH, THE SAVIOR REIGNS.
LET MEN THEIR SONGS EMPLOY.
WHILE FIELDS AND FLOODS, ROCKS,
HILLS AND PLAINS,
REPEAT THE SOUNDING JOY,
REPEAT THE SOUNDING JOY,
REPEAT, REPEAT THE SOUNDING JOY.
NO MORE LET SIN AND SORROW GROW,
NOR THORNS INFEST THE GROUND.
HE COMES TO MAKE
HIS BLESSINGS FLOW,
FAR AS THE CURSE IS FOUND,
FAR AS THE CURSE IS FOUND,
FAR AS, FAR AS, THE CURSE IS FOUND.
219. JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE

I AM WEAK, BUT THOU ART STRONG.
JESUS, KEEP ME FROM ALL WRONG.
I’LL BE SATISFIED AS LONG AS I WALK,
LET ME WALK CLOSE TO THEE.
CHORUS
JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE,
GRANT IT, JESUS, IS MY PLEA.
DAILY WALKING CLOSE TO THEE,
LET IT BE, DEAR LORD, LET IT BE.
THROUGH THIS WORLD OF TOIL AND SNARES,
IF I FALTER, LORD, WHO CARES?
WHO WITH ME MY BURDEN SHARES?
NONE BUT THEE, DEAR LORD,
NONE BUT THEE.

JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK
YOU’RE SO PRETTY.
JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK
YOU’RE SO HOT.
JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK
YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING

YOU MADE ME SPEND ALL MY MONEY.
YOU LAUGHED AND CALLED
ME OLD SANTA CLAUS.
I’M TELLING YOU, HONEY,
I’M THROUGH WITH YOU,
BECAUSE, JUST BECAUSE.

1221. JUST ONE MORE CHANCE 1931 |
JUST ONE MORE CHANCE,
TO PROVE IT’S YOU ALONE I CARE FOR.
EACH NIGHT I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR,
JUST ONE MORE CHANCE.
JUST ONE MORE NIGHT,
TO TASTE THE KISSES THAT ENCHANT ME.
I’D WANT NO OTHERS IF YOU’D GRANT ME,
JUST ONE MORE CHANCE.
I KNOW THE MEANING OF REPENTANCE.
NOW YOU’RE THE JURY AT MY TRIAL.
I KNOW THAT I MUST SERVE MY SENTENCE.
STILL I’M HOPING ALL THE WHILE
YOU’LL GIVE ME —
JUST ONE MORE WORD.
I SAID THAT I WAS GLAD TO START OUT,
BUT NOW I’M BACK TO CRY MY HEART OUT,
FOR JUST ONE MORE CHANCE.
222. KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING
__________________________________ 1914
THEY WERE SUMMONED FROM THE HILLSIDE
THEY WERE CALLED IN FROM THE GLEN
AND THE COUNTRY FOUND THEM READY
AT THE STIRRING CALL FOR MEN.
LET NO TEARS ADD TO THEIR HARDSHIPS
AS THE SOLDIERS PASS ALONG,
AND ALTHOUGH YOUR HEART IS BREAKING
MAKE IT SING THIS CHEERY SONG.
CHORUS
KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING
WHILE YOUR HEARTS ARE YEARNING,
THOUGH YOUR LADS ARE FAR AWAY
THEY DREAM OF HOME.
THERE’S THE SILVER LINING,
THROUGH THE DARK CLOUDS SHINING,
TURN THE DARK CLOUDS INSIDE OUT,
TILL THE BOYS COME HOME.
OVERSEAS THERE CAME A PLEADING,
“HELP A NATION IN DISTRESS.”
AND WE GAVE OUR SPECIAL LADDIES;
HONOR BADE US DO NO LESS.
FOR NO GALLANT SON OF FREEDOM,
TO A TYRANT’S YOKE SHOULD BEND;
AND A NOBLE HEART MUST ANSWER
TO THE SACRED CALL OF “FRIEND.”

KING OF THE ROAD.
REPEAT CHORUS
I KNOW EVERY ENGINEER
ON EVERY TRAIN.
ALL OF THEIR CHILDREN,
AND ALL OF THEIR NAMES.
AND EVERY HANDOUT IN EVERY TOWN.
AND EVERY LOCK THAT AIN’T LOCKED
WHEN NO ONE’S AROUND.
REPEAT CHORUS
1224. KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON 1935 |
GIVE ME A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON
AND MY IMAGINATION
WILL THRIVE UPON THAT KISS.
SWEETHEART, I ASK NO MORE THAN THIS,
A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON.
GIVE ME A KISS BEFORE YOU LEAVE ME
AND MY IMAGINATION
WILL FEED MY HUNGRY HEART.
LEAVE ME ONE THING BEFORE WE PART,
A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON.
WHEN I’M ALONE WITH MY FANCIES,
I’LL BE WITH YOU. WEAVING ROMANCES,
MAKING BELIEVE THEY’RE TRUE.
GIVE ME YOUR LIPS JUST FOR A MOMENT
AND MY IMAGINATION
WILL MAKE THAT MOMENT LIVE.
GIVE ME WHAT YOU ALONE CAN GIVE,
A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON.

JIMMY WAS A SOLDIER BRAVE AND BOLD.
KATY WAS A MAID WITH HAIR OF GOLD.
LIKE AN ACT OF FATE,
KATE WAS STANDING AT THE GATE
WATCHING THE BOYS WHILE ON PARADE.
KATE SMILED WITH A TWINKLING EYE,
JIM SAID, “M-M-M-MEET YA BY AND BY.”
THAT NIGHT AT EIGHT,
JIM WAS AT THE GARDEN GATE,
STUTTERING THIS SONG TO K-K-K-KATE.
K- K- K- KATY, BEAUTIFUL KATY
YOU’RE THE ONLY G- G- G- GIRL
THAT I ADORE.
WHEN THE M- M- M- MOON SHINES
OVER THE C- C- C- COWSHED
I’LL BE WAITING FOR YOU

CHORUS #1
ROLL OUT THOSE LAZY, HAZY,
CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER;
THOSE DAYS OF SODA
AND PRETZELS AND BEER.
ROLL OUT THOSE LAZY, HAZY,
CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER.
DUST OFF THE SUN AND MOON
AND SING A SONG OF CHEER.
JUST FILL YOUR BASKET FULL
OF SANDWICHES AND WEENIES.
AND LOCK THE HOUSE UP;
NOW YOU’RE SET.
AND ON THE BEACH
YOU’LL SEE THE GIRLS IN THEIR BIKINIS,

BUT THEY NEVER GET ’EM WET.

YOU’LL SEE MORE KISSIN’ IN THE CARS
THAN ON THE SCREEN.
REPEAT CHORUS #2
1227. LAZY RIVER 1930 |
UP A LAZY RIVER BY THE OLD MILL RUN.
A LAZY, LAZY RIVER IN THE NOON DAY SUN.
LINGER IN THE SHADE OF A KIND OLD TREE.
THROW AWAY YOUR TROUBLES,
DREAM A DREAM WITH ME.
UP A LAZY RIVER WHERE A ROBIN’S SONG,
AWAKES THE BRIGHT NEW MORNING,
WE CAN MOVE ALONG.
BLUE SKIES UP ABOVE,
EVERYONE’S IN LOVE.
UP A LAZY RIVER, HOW HAPPY YOU CAN BE.
UP A LAZY RIVER WITH ME.
228. LET A SMILE BE YOUR UMBRELLA
1927
JUST LET A SMILE BE YOUR UMBRELLA
ON A RAINY, RAINY DAY.
AND IF YOUR SWEETIE CRIES,
JUST TELL HER,
THAT A SMILE WILL ALWAYS PAY.
WHENEVER SKIES ARE GRAY
DON’T WORRY OR FRET.
A SMILE WILL BRING THE SUNSHINE
AND YOU’LL NEVER GET WET.
SO LET A SMILE BE YOUR UMBRELLA
ON A RAINY, RAINY DAY.
229. LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART

230. LET THE REST
OF THE WORLD GO BY 1919
WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU,
A PAL SO GOOD AND TRUE,
I’D LIKE TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
AND GO AND FIND,
A PLACE THAT’S KNOWN TO GOD ALONE;
JUST A SPOT TO CALL OUR OWN.
WE’LL FIND PERFECT PEACE,
WHERE JOYS WILL NEVER CEASE,
OUT THERE BENEATH THE KINDLY SKY.
WE’LL BUILD A SWEET LITTLE NEST,
SOMEWHERE OUT IN THE WEST,
AND LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY.
231. LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES
1931
LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES.
DON’T MAKE IT SERIOUS.
LIFE’S TOO MYSTERIOUS.
YOU WORK, YOU SAVE, YOU WORRY SO,
BUT YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU
WHEN YOU GO, GO, GO.
SO KEEP REPEATING, “IT’S THE BERRIES;”
“THE STRONGEST OAK MUST FALL.”
THE SWEET THINGS IN LIFE
TO YOU WERE JUST LOANED.
SO HOW CAN YOU LOSE
WHAT YOU’VE NEVER OWNED?
LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES,
SO LIVE AND LAUGH AT IT ALL.____________

TENDERLY, THAT YOU LOVED ME,
YOU’D ALWAYS BE,
MY LILI OF THE LAMPLIGHT,
MY OWN LILI MARLENE.
TIME WOULD COME FOR ROLL CALL,
TIME FOR US TO PART.

AND PRESS YOU TO MY HEART.
AND THERE BENEATH
THAT FAR- OFF LANTERN LIGHT,
I’D HOLD YOU TIGHT,
WE’D KISS GOOD NIGHT,

1233. LINDA 1946 |
WHEN I GO TO SLEEP,
I NEVER COUNT SHEEP,
I COUNT ALL THE CHARMS ABOUT LINDA.
AND LATELY IT SEEMS,
IN ALL OF MY DREAMS,
I WALK WITH MY ARMS ABOUT LINDA.
BUT WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO ME,
FOR LINDA DOESN’T KNOW I EXIST?
CAN’T HELP FEELING GLOOMY,
THINK OF ALL THE LOVIN’ I HAVE MISSED.
WE PASS ON THE STREET,
MY HEART SKIPS A BEAT,
I SAY TO MYSELF, “HELLO LINDA.”
IF ONLY SHE’D SMILE, I’D STOP HER A WHILE
AND THEN I WOULD GET TO KNOW LINDA.
BUT MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN,
AND WHEN MY LUCKY STAR
BEGINS TO SHINE,
WITH ONE LUCKY BREAK
I’LL MAKE LINDA MINE.
1234. LITTLE BROWN CHURCH 1857 |

IN THE VALE.
CHORUS
OH, COME TO THE CHURCH
IN THE WILDWOOD.
COME TO THE CHURCH IN THE DALE.
NO SPOT IS SO DEAR TO MY CHILDHOOD,

LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING
WHEN E’ER A CLOUD APPEARS IN THE BLUE.
REMEMBER, SOMEWHERE
THE SUN IS SHINING,
AND SO THE RIGHT THING TO DO
IS MAKE IT SHINE FOR YOU.
1235. LITTLE WHITE LIES
THE MOON WAS ALL AGLOW
AND HEAVEN WAS IN YOUR EYES,
THE NIGHT THAT YOU TOLD ME
THOSE LITTLE WHITE LIES.
THE STARS ALL SEEMED TO KNOW
THAT YOU DIDN’T MEAN ALL THOSE SIGHS.
THE NIGHT THAT YOU TOLD ME
THOSE LITTLE WHITE LIES.
I TRY, BUT THERE’S NO FORGETTING
WHEN EVENING APPEARS.
I SIGH, BUT THERE’S NO REGRETTING
IN SPITE OF MY TEARS.
THE DEVIL WAS IN YOUR HEART
BUT HEAVEN WAS IN YOUR EYES,
THE NIGHT THAT YOU TOLD ME
THOSE LITTLE WHITE LIES.
[236. LONESOME ROAD 1927 |
LOOK DOWN, LOOK DOWN
THAT LONESOME ROAD
BEFORE YOU TRAVEL ON.
LOOKUP, LOOKUP
AND SEEK YOUR MAKER,
BEFORE GABRIEL BLOWS HIS HORN.

WEARY TOTING SUCH A LOAD,
TRUDGING DOWN THAT LONESOME ROAD.
LOOK DOWN, LOOK DOWN

YOU CAUSED ME TO WALK AND TALK
LIKE I NEVER DID BEFORE.
REPEAT CHORUS
[237. LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING 1919 |
PLEASE DON’T BE OFFENDED
IF I PREACH TO YOU A WHILE.
TEARS ARE OUT OF PLACE
IN EYES THAT WERE MEANT TO SMILE.
THERE’S A WAY TO MAKE YOUR VERY
BIGGEST TROUBLES SMALL.
HERE’S THE HAPPY SECRET OF IT ALL.
A HEART FULL OF JOY AND GLADNESS
WILL ALWAYS BANISH SADNESS AND STRIFE.
SO ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING
AND TRY TO FIND THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE.
1238. LOUISE 1929 |
EVERY LITTLE BREEZE
SEEMS TO WHISPER, “LOUISE.”
BIRDS IN THE TREES
SEEM TO TWITTER, “LOUISE.”
EACH LITTLE ROSE
TELLS ME IT KNOWS I LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU.
EVERY LITTLE BEAT
THAT I FEEL IN MY HEART,
SEEMS TO REPEAT
WHAT I FELT AT THE START.
EACH LITTLE SIGH
TELLS ME THAT I ADORE YOU, LOUISE.
JUST TO SEE AND HEAR YOU,
BRINGS JOY I NEVER KNEW.
BUT TO BE SO NEAR YOU,
THRILLS ME THROUGH AND THROUGH.
ANYONE CAN SEE
WHY I WANTED YOUR KISS.
IT HAD TO BE, BUT THE WONDER IS THIS.
CAN IT BE TRUE, SOMEONE LIKE YOU
COULD LOVE ME, LOUISE?
1239. L-O-V-E 1965 |
L – IS FOR THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ME.
O – IS FOR THE ONLY ONE I SEE.
V – IS VERY, VERY EXTRAORDINARY
E – IS EVEN MORE
THAN ANYONE THAT I ADORE
AND LOVE IS ALL
THAT I CAN GIVE TO YOU.
LOVE IS MORE
THAN JUST A DREAM FOR TWO.
TWO IN LOVE CAN MAKE IT,
TAKE MY HEART
AND PLEASE DON’T BREAK IT.
LOVE WAS MADE FOR ME AND YOU.

A GOLDEN CROWN
THAT MAKES A MAN A KING.
ONCE, ON A HIGH AND WINDY HILL,
IN THE MORNING MIST
TWO LOVERS KISSED
AND THE WORLD STOOD STILL.
THEN YOUR FINGERS TOUCHED
MY SILENT HEART
AND TAUGHT IT HOWTO SING.
YES, TRUE LOVE’S
A MANY-SPLENDORED THING.
1242. LOVE IS HERE TO STAY 1938 |
ITS VERY CLEAR
OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY.
NOT FOR A YEAR,
BUT EVER AND A DAY.
THE RADIO AND THE TELEPHONE
AND THE MOVIES THAT WE KNOW
MAY JUST BE PASSING FANCIES
AND IN TIME MAY GO.
BUT OH MY DEAR,
OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY.
TOGETHER WE’RE
GOING ALONG, LONG WAY.
IN TIME THE ROCKIES MAY CRUMBLE,
GIBRALTAR MAY TUMBLE,
THEY’RE ONLY MADE OF CLAY.
BUT OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY.
1243. LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAND 1931 |
ON A DAY LIKE TODAY,
WE PASSED THE TIME AWAY,
WRITING LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAND.
HOW YOU LAUGHED WHEN I CRIED,
EACH TIME I SAW THE TIDE,
TAKE OUR LOVE LETTERS
FROM THE SAND.
YOU MADE A VOW THAT YOU
WOULD ALWAYS BE TRUE.
BUT SOMEHOW THAT VOW
MEANT NOTHING TO YOU.
NOW MY POOR HEART JUST ACHES.
WITH EVERY WAVE THAT BREAKS,
OVER LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAND.
1244. LOVE’S OLD SWEET SONG 1884 |
JUST A SONG AT TWILIGHT,
WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE LOW,
AND THE FLICKERING SHADOWS
SOFTLY COME AND GO.
THOUGH THE HEART BE WEARY,
SAD THE DAY AND LONG.
STILL TO US AT TWILIGHT,
COMES LOVE’S OLD SONG.
COMES LOVE’S OLD SWEET SONG.

1245. LULLABY OF BROADWAY 1935 |
COME ON AND LISTEN TO
THE LULLABY OF BROADWAY.
THE HIP- HOORAY AND BALLY-HOO,
THE LULLABY OF BROADWAY.
THE RUMBLE OF A SUBWAY TRAIN,
THE RATTLE OF THE TAXIS.
THE DAFFY- DILS WHO ENTERTAIN
AT ANGELO’S AND MAXIE’S.
WHEN A BROADWAY BABY
SAYS, “GOOD NIGHT,”
IT’S EARLY IN THE MORNING.
MANHATTAN BABIES DON’T SLEEP TIGHT
UNTIL THE DAWN.
GOOD NIGHT BABY, GOOD NIGHT,
THE MILKMAN’S ON HIS WAY.
SLEEP TIGHT BABY,
SLEEP TIGHT, LET’S CALL IT A DAY
AND LISTEN TO THE LULLABY
OF OLD BROADWAY.
1246. MACK THE KNIFE 1928 l
WELL THE SHARK HAS
PRETTY TEETH, DEAR,
AND HE SHOWS THEM PEARLY WHITE.
JUST A JACK-KNIFE
HAS OLD MACHEATH, DEAR,
AND HE KEEPS IT OUT OF SIGHT.
WHEN THE SHARK BITES
WITH HIS TEETH, DEAR,
SCARLET BILLOWS START TO SPREAD.
FANCY GLOVES WEARS
OLD MACHEATH, DEAR
SO THERE’S NEVER A TRACE OF RED.
SUNDAY MORNING, ON THE SIDEWALK,
LIES A BODY OOZING LIFE.
SOMEONE’S SNEAKING
AROUND THE CORNER.
IS THAT SOMEONE MACK THE KNIFE?
FROM A TUGBOAT ON THE RIVER
A CEMENT BAG’S DROPPING DOWN.
THE CEMENT’S JUST FOR THE
WEIGHT, DEAR.
FIVE WILL GET YOU TEN
OLD MACKY’S BACK IN TOWN.
LOUIE MILLER DISAPPEARED, DEAR,
AFTER DRAWING ALL HIS CASH.
AND MACHEATH SPENDS LIKE A SAILOR.
DID OUR BOY DO SOMETHING RASH?
SUKEY TAWDRY, JENNY DIVER,
LOTTE LENYA AND OLD LUCY BROWN.
WELL, THE LINE FORMS
ON THE RIGHT GIRLS,
NOW THAT MACKY’S BACK IN TOWN.
1247. MAKE BELIEVE 1927 1
WE COULD MAKE BELIEVE I LOVE YOU,
ONLY MAKE BELIEVE THAT YOU LOVE ME.
OTHERS FIND PEACE OF MIND
IN PRETENDING.
COULDN’T YOU? COULDN’T I?
COULDN’T WE?
MAKE BELIEVE OUR LIPS ARE BLENDING,
IN A PHANTOM KISS OR TWO OR THREE.
MIGHT AS WELL MAKE BELIEVE I LOVE YOU,
FOR TO TELL THE TRUTH I DO.
1248. MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY 19631
CHORUS
MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY
AND GET IT OFF MY SHOULDERS.
SAY THE THINGS YOU USED TO SAY
AND MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU LOVED ME
BEFORE THE WORLD TOOK ME ASTRAY?
IF YOU DO, THEN FORGIVE ME
AND MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY.
REPEAT CHORUS
I’M SORRY IF I HURT YOU.
I’LL MAKE IT UP DAY BY DAY.
JUST SAY YOU LOVE ME LIKE YOU USED TO
AND MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY.
REPEAT CHORUS

1249. MAKIN’ WHOOPEE! 1928 |
ANOTHER BRIDE, ANOTHER JUNE,
ANOTHER SUNNY HONEYMOON.
ANOTHER SEASON, ANOTHER REASON
FOR MAKIN’ WHOOPEE!
A LOT OF SHOES, A LOT OF RICE,
THE GROOM IS NERVOUS,
HE ANSWERS TWICE.
IT’S REALLY KILLING, THAT HE’S SO WILLING
TO MAKE WHOOPEE.
PICTURE A LITTLE LOVE NEST,
DOWN WHERE THE ROSES CLING.
PICTURE THE SAME SWEET LOVE NEST,
THINK WHAT A YEAR CAN BRING.
HE’S WASHING DISHES
AND BABY CLOTHES.
HE’S SO AMBITIOUS, HE EVEN SEWS.
BUT DON’T FORGET FOLKS,
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOLKS
FOR MAKIN’ WHOOPEE!
1250. MANHATTAN 1925 |
WE’LL HAVE MANHATTAN
THE BRONX AND STATEN ISLAND, TOO.
IT’S LOVELY GOING THROUGH THE ZOO.
IT’S VERY FANCY
ON OLD DELANCEY STREET, YOU KNOW.
THE SUBWAY CHARMS US SO,
WHEN BALMY BREEZES BLOW.
AND TELL ME WHAT STREET
COMPARES WITH MOTT STREET IN JULY?
SWEET PUSHCARTS GENTLY GLIDING BY.
THE GREAT BIG CITY’S A WONDROUS TOY,
MADE FOR A GIRL AND BOY.
WE’LL TURN MANHATTAN
INTO AN ISLE OF JOY.
1251. THE MAN I LOVE 1924 |
SOMEDAY HE’LL COME ALONG,
THE MAN I LOVE.
AND HE’LL BE BIG AND STRONG,
THE MAN I LOVE.
AND WHEN HE COMES MY WAY,
I’LL DO MY BEST TO MAKE HIM STAY.
HE’LL LOOK AT ME AND SMILE;
I’LL UNDERSTAND.
THEN IN A LITTLE WHILE;
HE’LL TAKE MY HAND.
AND THOUGH IT SEEMS ABSURD,
I KNOW WE BOTH WON’T SAY A WORD.
MAYBE I SHALL MEET HIM SUNDAY,
MAYBE MONDAY, MAYBE NOT.
STILL I’M SURE TO MEET HIM ONE DAY;
MAYBE TUESDAY WILL BE
MY GOOD NEWS DAY.
HE’LL BUILD A LITTLE HOME,
THAT’S MEANT FOR TWO,
FROM WHICH I’LL NEVER ROAM;
WHO WOULD, WOULD YOU?
AND SO ALL ELSE ABOVE,
I’ M DREAMING OF THE MAN I LOVE.
1252. MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE 1867 |
ONCE I WAS HAPPY BUT NOW I’M FORLORN,
LIKE AN OLD COAT
THAT IS TATTERED AND TORN.
LEFT IN THIS WIDE WORLD
TO FRET AND TO MOURN,
BETRAYED BY A MAID IN HER TEENS.
THE GIRL THAT I LOVED
SHE WAS HANDSOME.
I TRIED ALL I KNEW, HER TO PLEASE.
BUT I COULD NOT PLEASE HER
A QUARTER AS WELL,
AS THE MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE.
HE’D FLY THROUGH THE AIR
WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE,
THE DARING YOUNG MAN
ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE.
HIS MOVEMENTS WERE GRACEFUL,
ALL GIRLS HE COULD PLEASE,
AND MY LOVE HE HAS PURLOINED AWAY.
1253. MARY IS A GRAND OLD NAME 1906 |
FOR IT IS MARY, MARY,
PLAIN AS ANY NAME CAN BE.
BUT WITH PROPRIETY, SOCIETY,
WE’LL SAY, “MARIE.”
BUT IT WAS MARY, MARY,
LONG BEFORE THE FASHIONS CAME.
AND THERE IS SOMETHING THERE,
THAT SOUNDS SO SQUARE.
IT’S A GRAND OLD NAME.

MARGIE,
I’M ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU, MARGIE.
I’LL TELL THE WORLD I LOVE YOU.
DON’T FORGET YOUR PROMISE TO ME.
I HAVE THOUGHT OF HOME AND RING
AND EVERYTHINGFOR
MARGIE.
YOU’VE BEEN MY INSPIRATION,
DAYS ARE NEVER BLUE.
AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE,
THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE,
AND MARGIE, MARGIE IT’S YOU.
1255. MAYBE 1935 |
MAYBE, YOU’LL THINK OF ME,
WHEN YOU ARE ALL ALONE.
MAYBE THE ONE WHO IS
WAITING FOR YOU,
WILL PROVE UNTRUE,
THEN WHAT WILL YOU DO?
MAYBE, YOU’LL SIT AND SIGH,
WISHING THAT I WERE NEAR.
THEN MAYBE YOU’LL ASK ME
TO COME BACK AGAIN,
AND MAYBE I’LL SAY, “MAYBE.”
256. MAY THE GOOD LORD
BLESS AND KEEP YOU 1950
MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS
AND KEEP YOU,
WHETHER NEAR OR FAR AWAY.
MAY YOU FIND THAT
LONG-AWAITED GOLDEN DAY, TODAY.
MAY YOUR TROUBLES ALL BE SMALL ONES,
AND YOUR FORTUNE TEN TIMES TEN.
MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS
AND KEEP YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN.
MAY YOU WALK WITH SUNLIGHT SHINING
AND A BLUEBIRD IN EVERY TREE.
MAY THERE BE A SILVER LINING
BACK OF EVERY CLOUD YOU SEE.
FILL YOUR DREAMS WITH
SWEET TOMORROWS.
NEVER MIND WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS
AND KEEP YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN.
1257. MCNAMARA’S BAND 1945 |
OH, MY NAME IS MCNAMARA,
I’M THE LEADER OF THE BAND.
ALTHOUGH WE’RE FEW IN NUMBER,
WE’RE THE FINEST IN THE LAND.
WE PLAY AT WAKES AND WEDDINGS
AND AT EVERY FANCY BALL.
AND WHEN WE PLAY AT FUNERALS,
WE PLAY THE MARCH FROM SAUL.
OH, THE DRUMS GO BANG
AND THE CYMBALS CLANG
AND THE HORNS THEY BLAZE AWAY.
MCCARTHY PUMPS THE OLD BASSOON
WHILE I THE PIPES DO PLAY.
AND HENNESSEY-TENNESSEE
TOOTLES A FLUTE,
AND THE MUSIC IS SOMETHING GRAND.
A CREDIT TO OLD IRELAND
IS MCNAMARA’S BAND.
1258. ME AND MY SHADOW 1927 |
ME AND MY SHADOW,
STROLLING DOWN THE AVENUE.
ME AND MY SHADOW,
NOT A SOUL TO TELL OUR TROUBLES TO.
AND WHEN IT’S TWELVE O’CLOCK,
WE CLIMB THE STAIR.
WE NEVER KNOCK,
‘CAUSE NOBODY’S THERE.
JUST ME AND MY SHADOW,
ALL ALONE AND FEELING BLUE.
1259. MEET ME IN SAINT LOUIE 1904 |
MEET ME IN SAINT LOUIE, LOUIE.
MEET ME AT THE FAIR.
DON’T TELL ME THE LIGHTS ARE SHINING
ANY PLACE BUT THERE.

I WILL BE YOUR TOOTSIE- WOOTSIE.
MEET ME IN SAINT LOUIE, LOUIE.
MEET ME AT THE FAIR.

YOUR LIPS AND MINE,
TWO SIPS OF WINE;

ONE HOUSE WHERE LOVERS DWELL .
THREE LITTLE KIDS FOR FLAVOR.

KISS ME ONCE AGAIN AND HOLD ME.
MEXICALI ROSE, GOODBYE.
1264. MISSOURI WALTZ 1914 |
HUSH-A- BYE MY BABY,
SLUMBER TIME IS COMING SOON.
REST YOUR HEAD UPON MY BREAST
WHILE MOMMY HUMS A TUNE.
THE SANDMAN IS CALLING,
WHERE SHADOWS ARE FALLING,
WHILE THE SOFT BREEZES SIGH,
AS IN DAYS LONG GONE BY.
WAY DOWN IN MISSOURI
WHERE I HEARD THIS MELODY.
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE CHILD
UPON MY MOMMY’S KNEE.
THE OLD FOLKS WERE HUMMING,
THEIR BANJOS WERE STRUMMING,
SO SWEET AND LOW.
1265. MISTER SANDMAN 1954 |
MISTER SANDMAN, BRING ME A DREAM.
MAKE HER COMPLEXION
LIKE PEACHES AND CREAM.
GIVE HER TWO LIPS
LIKE ROSES IN CLOVER,
AND TELL HER THAT
HER LONESOME NIGHTS ARE OVER.
MISTER SANDMAN, I’M SO ALONE.
DON’T HAVE NOBODY TO CALL MY OWN.
SO PLEASE TURN ON YOUR MAGIC BEAM.

SHINE ON MY LOVE AND ME,
SO WE CAN STROLL,
BESIDE THE ROLL OF THE ROLLING SEA.
MOON OVER MIAMI, SHINE ON AS WE BEGIN,
A DREAM OR TWO, THAT MAY COME TRUE
WHEN THE TIDE COMES IN.
HARK TO THE SONG

HARK TO THE THROBBING GUITARS.

MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU,

YOU’RE ALL DRESSED UP TO GO DREAMING;
NOW DON’T TELL ME I’M WRONG.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW
SHE SMILED AT ME
IN MY DREAMS LAST NIGHT.
MY DREAMS ARE GETTING

IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.
MY DREAMS ARE GETTING
BETTER ALL THE TIME.
TO THINK THAT WE WERE STRANGERS
A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO.

WHEN THE MOON BEAMS SHINE.

BETTER ALL THE TIME.

TIED UP WITH STRING:
THESE ARE A FEW OF
MY FAVORITE THINGS.
CREAM-COLORED PONIES
AND CRISP APPLE STRUDELS.
DOORBELLS AND SLEIGH BELLS
AND SCHNITZEL WITH NOODLES.
WILD GEESE THAT FLY WITH
THE MOON ON THEIR WINGS:
THESE ARE A FEW OF
MY FAVORITE THINGS.
GIRLS IN WHITE DRESSES
WITH BLUE SATIN SASHES.
SNOWFLAKES THAT STAY
ON MY NOSE AND EYELASHES.
SILVER WHITE WINTERS
THAT MELT INTO SPRING:
THESE ARE A FEW OF
MY FAVORITE THINGS.
WHEN THE DOG BITES,
WHEN THE BEE STINGS,
WHEN I’M FEELING SAD.
I SIMPLY REMEMBER MY FAVORITE THINGS
AND THEN I DON’T FEEL SO BAD.

1284. MY FOOLISH HEART 1949 |
THE NIGHT IS LIKE A LOVELY TUNE.
BEWARE, MY FOOLISH HEART.
HOW WHITE THE EVER CONSTANT MOON.
TAKE CARE, MY FOOLISH HEART.
THERE’S A LINE BETWEEN
LOVE AND FASCINATION
THAT’S HARD TO SEE
ON AN EVENING SUCH AS THIS.
FOR THEY BOTH GIVE
THE VERY SAME SENSATION
WHEN YOU’RE LOST
IN THE MAGIC OF A KISS.
HIS LIPS ARE MUCH TOO CLOSE TO MINE.
BEWARE, MY FOOLISH HEART.
BUT SHOULD OUR EAGER LIPS COMBINE
THEN LET THE FIRE START.
FOR THIS TIME IT ISN’T FASCINATION
OR A DREAM THAT WILL FADE
AND FALL APART.
IT’S LOVE, THIS TIME IT’S LOVE,
MY FOOLISH HEART.
1285. MY FUNNY VALENTINE 1937 |
MY FUNNY VALENTINE,
SWEET COMIC VALENTINE,
YOU MAKE ME SMILE WITH MY HEART.
YOUR LOOKS ARE LAUGHABLE,
UNPHOTOGRAPHABLE,
YET YOU’RE MY FAVORITE WORK OF ART.
IS YOUR FIGURE LESS THAN GREEK?
IS YOUR MOUTH A LITTLE WEAK?
WHEN YOU OPEN IT TO SPEAK
ARE YOU SMART?
BUT DON’T CHANGE A HAIR FOR ME,
NOT IF YOU CARE FOR ME.
STAY LITTLE VALENTINE STAY.
EACH DAY IS VALENTINE’S DAY.
1286. MY GAL SAL 1905 |

A PECULIAR SORT OF A GAL.
WITH A HEART THAT WAS MELLOW,

YOUR TROUBLES SORROWS AND CARE,
SHE WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO SHARE.
A WILD SORT OF DEVIL,
BUT DEAD ON THE LEVEL,
WAS MY GAL SAL.
1287. MY MELANCHOLY BABY 1912 l
COME TO ME, MY MELANCHOLY BABY.
CUDDLE UP AND DON’T FEEL BLUE.
ALL YOUR FEARS ARE
FOOLISH FANCIES, MAYBE,
YOU KNOW, DEAR, I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU.
EVERY CLOUD MUST HAVE
A SILVER LINING.
WAIT UNTIL THE SUN SHINES THROUGH.
SMILE MY HONEY DEAR,
WHILE I KISS AWAY EACH TEAR,
OR ELSE I SHALL BE MELANCHOLY TOO.
1288. MY WILD IRISH ROSE 1899 |
MY WILD IRISH ROSE,
THE SWEETEST FLOWER THAT GROWS.
YOU MAY SEARCH EVERYWHERE,
BUT NONE CAN COMPARE,
WITH MY WILD IRISH ROSE.
MY WILD IRISH ROSE,
THE DEAREST FLOWER THAT GROWS.
AND SOME DAY FOR MY SAKE,
SHE MAY LET ME TAKE,
THE BLOOM FROM MY WILD IRISH ROSE.
1289. NEAR YOU 1947 |
THERE’S JUST ONE PLACE FOR ME,
NEAR YOU.
IT’S LIKE HEAVEN TO BE,
NEAR YOU.
TIME’S WHEN WE’RE APART
I CANT FACE MY HEART.
SAY YOU’LL NEVER STRAY
MORE THAN JUST TWO LIPS AWAY.
IF MY HOURS COULD BE SPENT,
NEAR YOU.
I’D BE MORE THAN CONTENT,
NEAR YOU.
MAKE MY LIFE WORTH WHILE
BY TELLING ME THAT I’LL
SPEND THE REST OF MY DAYS NEAR YOU.

BUT NEVERTHELESS
I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU.
MAYBE I’LL WIN AND MAYBE I’LL LOSE,
AND MAYBE I’M IN FOR CRYING THE BLUES.
BUT NEVERTHELESS
I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU.
SOMEHOW I KNOW AT A GLANCE
THE TERRIBLE CHANCES I’M TAKING.
FINE AT THE START,
THEN LEFT WITH A HEART
THAT IS BREAKING.
MAYBE I’LL LIVE A LIFE OF REGRET,
AND MAYBE I’LL GIVE
MUCH MORE THAN I GET.
BUT NEVERTHELESS
I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU.
1291. NIGHT AND DAY 1932 |
NIGHT AND DAY, YOU ARE THE ONE.
ONLY YOU BENEATH THE MOON
AND UNDER THE SUN.
WHETHER NEAR TO YOU OR FAR,
IT’S NO MATTER, DARLING, WHERE YOU ARE,
I THINK OF YOU DAY AND NIGHT.
NIGHT AND DAY, WHY IS IT SO
THAT THIS LONGING FOR YOU FOLLOWS
WHEREVER I GO?
IN THE ROARING TRAFFIC’S BOOM,
IN THE SILENCE OF MY LONELY ROOM,
I THINK OF YOU DAY AND NIGHT.
NIGHT AND DAY, UNDER THE HIDE OF ME,
THERE’S AN OH SUCH A HUNGRY YEARNING
BURNING INSIDE OF ME.
AND ITS TORMENT WONT BE THROUGH,
TILL YOU LET ME SPEND MY LIFE
MAKING LOVE TO YOU,
DAY AND NIGHT, NIGHT AND DAY.
1292. NOW IS THE HOUR 1913 |
NOW IS THE HOUR
WHEN WE MUST SAY GOOD-BYE.
SOON YOU’LL BE SAILING
FAR ACROSS THE SEA.
WHILE YOU’RE AWAY,

THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION

FROM WHITE TO ROSY RED,
ANYTIME SHE HOLDS MY HAND
AND TELLS ME THAT SHE’S MINE.
THERE ARE MANY GIRLS
WHO CAN THRILL ME,
AND SOME WHO CAN FILL ME
WITH DREAMS OF HAPPINESS.
BUT I KNOW I’LL NEVER REST
UNTIL SHE SAYS SHE’S MINE.
NOW I’M NOT AFRAID
THAT SHE WILL LEAVE ME,

WHO’LL BE UNFAIR.
BUT INSTEAD I TRUST HER COMPLETELY.
SHE CAN GO WHERE SHE WANTS TO GO,
DO WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO,
I DON’T CARE.

AND STEP UPON IT HEAVILY,
AND SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE IN BED.
REPEAT CHORUS
SOMEDAY I’M GOING TO
MURDER THE BUGLER;
SOMEDAY THEY’RE GOING
TO FIND HIM DEAD.
AND THEN I’LL GET THE DIRTY PUP,

ABOVE THY DEEP AND DREAMLESS SLEEP,
THE SILENT STARS GO BY.
YET IN THY DARK STREETS SHINETH
AN EVERLASTING LIGHT.

SHE’S OUT AND FANCY FREE.
FLIRTING WITH THE BOYS
WITH ALL HER CHARMS.
BUT I STILL LOVE HER SO,

I’D WELCOME HER RIGHT BACK
HERE IN MY ARMS.

EVERYTHING FROM A TO Z .
OH, LONESOME ME.

HIS SNOWY HAIR WAS SO MUCH WHITER
BENEATH THE CANDLE GLOW,
THE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
OF LONG, LONG AGO.
YOU’D HEAR THE PATTER OF HIS FEET
AS HE CAME
TODDLING DOWN THE STREET.
HIS SMILE WOULD HIDE
A LONELY HEART, YOU SEE.
IF THERE WERE SWEETHEARTS
IN THE PARK
HE’D PASS A LAMP AND LEAVE IT DARK,
REMEMBERING THE DAYS THAT USED TO BE.
FOR HE RECALLS
WHEN DREAMS WERE NEW,
HE LOVED SOMEONE WHO LOVED HIM TOO,
WHO WALKS ALONE WITH HIM IN MEMORY.
HE MADE THE NIGHT A LITTLE BRIGHTER,
WHEREVER HE WOULD GO.
THE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
OF LONG, LONG AGO.

WE’RE AS HAPPY AS A CHRISTMAS TREE
HEADED FOR THE ONE I LOVE.
I’M GONNA POP HER THE QUESTION,
THAT QUESTION:
“DO YOU DARLING DO YOU DO?”
IT’LL BE EASY, SO EASY,
IF I CAN ONLY BANK ON YOU.
OLE BUTTERMILK SKY,
I’M TELLING YOU WHY, NOW YOU KNOW.
KEEP IT IN MIND TONIGHT.

THOSE CLOUDS FROM SIGHT.

HE DON’T PLANT ‘TATERS,

BUT OLD MAN RIVER,
HE JUST KEEPS ROLLIN’ ALONG.
YOU AND ME, WE SWEAT AND STRAIN,

ONE LITTLE THOUGHT TO ME
THOUGH SOMEONE ELSE MAY BE
NEARER YOUR HEART?
ONCE IN AWHILE,
WILL YOU DREAM OF THE
MOMENTS I SHARED WITH YOU,
MOMENTS BEFORE WE TWO
DRIFTED APART?
IN LOVE’S SMOLDERING EMBERS,
ONE SPARK MAY REMAIN.
IF LOVE STILL CAN REMEMBER,
THAT SPARK MAY BURN AGAIN.
I KNOW THAT I’LL, BE CONTENTED
WITH YESTERDAY’S MEMORY,
KNOWING YOU THINK OF ME
ONCE IN AWHILE.

THERE MAY BE ORANGE BLOSSOMS LATER,

312. ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE
__________________________________ 1956
I HAVE OFTEN WALKED
DOWN THIS STREET BEFORE,
BUT THE PAVEMENT ALWAYS
STAYED BENEATH MY FEET BEFORE.
ALL AT ONCE AM I, SEVERAL STORIES HIGH,
KNOWING I’M ON
THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE.
ARE THERE LILAC TREES
IN THE HEART OF TOWN?
CAN YOU HEAR A LARK IN ANY
OTHER PART OF TOWN?
DOES ENCHANTMENT POUR
OUT OF EVERY DOOR?
NO, IT’S JUST ON THE STREET
WHERE YOU LIVE.
AND OH, THE TOWERING FEELING,
JUST TO KNOW YOU ARE NEAR.
THE OVERPOWERING FEELING
THAT ANY SECOND
YOU MIGHT SUDDENLY APPEAR.
PEOPLE STOP AND STARE,
THEY DON’T BOTHER ME.
FOR THERE’S NOWHERE ELSE ON EARTH
THAT I WOULD RATHER BE.
LET THE TIME GO BY,
I DON’T CARE IF I
CAN BE HERE ON THE STREET
WHERE YOU LIVE.
313. ON THE SUNNY SIDE
OF THE STREET 1930
GRAB YOUR COAT AND GET YOUR HAT.
LEAVE YOUR WORRIES
ON THE DOORSTEP.
JUST DIRECT YOUR FEET
TO THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET.
CAN’T YOU HEAR THAT PITTER- PAT?
AND THAT HAPPY TUNE IS YOUR STEP.
LIFE CAN BE SO SWEET
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET.
I USED TO WALK IN THE SHADE
WITH THOSE BLUES ON PARADE.
BUT I’M NOT AFRAID;
THIS ROVER, CROSSED OVER.
IF I NEVER HAD A CENT,
I’D BE RICH AS ROCKEFELLER.
GOLD DUST AT MY FEET,
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET.
1314. ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY 1925 |
ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY,
ALL COVERED WITH SNOW,
I LOST MY TRUE LOVER
FOR COURTIN’ TOO SLOW.
FOR COURTIN’S A PLEASURE,
AND PARTING IS GRIEF,
AND A FALSE-HEARTED LOVER
IS WORSE THAN A THIEF.
A THIEF WILL JUST ROB YOU,
AND TAKE ALL YOU HAVE,
BUT A FALSE-HEARTED LOVER
WILL DRIVE YOU TO THE GRAVE.
THE GRAVE WILL DECAY YOU,
AND TURN YOU TO DUST,
NOT ONE MAN IN A HUNDRED
A POOR GIRL CAN TRUST.
HE’LL HUG YOU AND KISS YOU,
AND TELL YOU MORE LIES,
THAN CROSS-TIES ON A RAILROAD
OR STARS IN THE SKY.
SO COME YE YOUNG MAIDENS,
COME LISTEN TO ME.
NEVER PLACE YOUR AFFECTIONS,
ON A GREEN WILLOW TREE.
THE LEAVES THEY WILL WHITHER,
THE ROOTS THEY WILL DIE,
AND YOU’LL BE FORSAKEN
AND NEVER KNOW WHY.

1315. ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI
ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI,
ALL COVERED WITH CHEESE,
I LOST MY POOR MEATBALL,
WHEN SOMEBODY SNEEZED.
IT ROLLED OFF THE TABLE
AND ONTO THE FLOOR.
AND THEN MY POOR MEATBALL,
IT ROLLED OUT THE DOOR.
IT ROLLED IN THE GARDEN,
THEN UNDER A BUSH.
AND THEN MY POOR MEATBALL,
WAS NOTHING BUT MOOSH.
THE MOOSH WAS AS TASTY,
AS TASTY COULD BE.
AND IN THE NEXT SUMMER,
IT GREW INTO A TREE.
THE TREE WAS ALL COVERED
WITH BEAUTIFUL MOSS.
IT GREW LOVELY MEATBALLS,
IN A TOMATO SAUCE.
SO IF YOU LIKE SPAGHETTI,
ALL COVERED WITH CHEESE.
HOLD ONTO YOUR MEATBALL,
AND DON’T EVER SNEEZE.

IT NEVER WAS WORTHWHILE.
SO PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES
IN YOUR OLD KIT-BAG
AND SMILE, SMILE, SMILE.
AND THEN THOSE FLIRTY-FLIRTY GUYS,
WITH THEIR FLIRTY-FLIRTY EYES,
WILL HAVE TO FLIRT WITH
DOLLIES THAT ARE REAL.
WHEN I COME HOME AT NIGHT
SHE WILL BE WAITING.
SHE’LL BE THE TRUEST DOLL
IN ALL THE WORLD
I’D RATHER HAVE A PAPER DOLL
TO CALL MY OWN,
THAN HAVE A FICKLE-MINDED
REAL LIVE GIRL

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN?
YOU’LL FIND YOUR FORTUNE FALLING
ALL OVER TOWN.
BE SURE THAT THAT YOUR UMBRELLA
IS UPSIDE DOWN.
TRADE THEM FOR A PACKAGE OF,
SUNSHINE AND FLOWERS.

YOU MUST HAVE SHOWERS.
SO IF YOU HEAR IT THUNDER
DON’T RUN UNDER A TREE.

WHEN WE’RE ALONE.
FROM ALL OF SOCIETY
WE’LL STAY ALOOF,
AND LIVE IN PROPRIETY
THERE ON THE ROOF.
TWO HEAVENLY HERMITS,
WE WILL BE IN TRUTH,
WHEN WE’RE ALONE.
WE’LL SEE LIFE’S MAD PATTERN
AS WE VIEW OLD MANHATTAN.
THEN WE CAN THANK OUR LUCKY STARS
THAT WE’RE LIVING AS WE ARE.
IN OUR LITTLE PENTHOUSE,
WE’LL ALWAYS CONTRIVE,
TO KEEP LOVE AND ROMANCE
FOREVER ALIVE.
IN VIEW OF THE HUDSON,
JUST OVER THE DRIVE,
WHEN WE’RE ALONE.

YOUR SIGHS ARE SO LIKE MINE.
YOUR EYES MUSTN’T GLOW LIKE MINE.

WE’RE PARTING,
YOU GO YOUR WAY, I’LL GO MINE;
IT’S BEST THAT WE DO.
HERE’S A KISS, I HOPE THAT THIS
BRINGS LOTS OF LUCK TO YOU.

FOR ONE COMMAND
I STAND AND WAIT NOW.
FROM ONE WHO’S MASTER

WHAT’S THE GOOD OF MY CARING
IF SOMEONE IS SHARING
THOSE ARMS WITH ME?
ALTHOUGH HE HAS ANOTHER,
I CAN’T HAVE ANOTHER,

AND THERE’S SUCH A FUNNY METER
TO THE ROAR OF HIS REPEATER.

IS THE LAST LITTLE SONG SHE HEARS.

AND THEN THEY’D KISS AGAIN.
AND THEN HE’D ROW, ROW, ROW,

THEN HE’D DROP BOTH HIS OARS,
TAKE A FEW MORE ENCORES,
AND THEN HE’D ROW, ROW, ROW.

SKIES ARE BLUE,
AND THE DREAMS THAT
YOU DARE TO DREAM
REALLY DO COME TRUE.
SOMEDAY I’LL WISH UPON A STAR
AND WAKE UP WHERE THE CLOUDS
ARE FAR BEHIND ME.
WHERE TROUBLES MELT
LIKE LEMON DROPS,
AWAY ABOVE THE CHIMNEY TOPS,
THAT’S WHERE YOU’LL FIND ME.
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW,
BLUEBIRDS FLY.
BIRDS FLY OVER THE RAINBOW,
WHY THEN, OH WHY CANT I?
1379. SOUND OF MUSIC 1959 |
THE HILLS ARE ALIVE
WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC;
WITH SONGS THEY HAVE SUNG
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
THE HILLS FILL MY HEART
WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC;
MY HEART WANTS TO SING
EVERY SONG IT HEARS.
MY HEART WANTS TO BEAT LIKE
THE WINGS OF THE BIRDS THAT RISE FROM
THE LAKE TO THE TREES.
MY HEART WANTS TO SIGH
LIKE A CHIME THAT FLIES
FROM A CHURCH ON A BREEZE.
TO LAUGH LIKE A BROOK WHEN IT TRIPS AND
FALLS OVER STONES ON IT’S WAY.
TO SING THROUGH THE NIGHT, LIKE A LARK
WHO IS LEARNING TO PRAY.
I GO TO THE HILLS
WHEN MY HEART IS LONELY.
I KNOW I WILL HEAR
WHAT I’VE HEARD BEFORE.
MY HEART WILL BE BLESSED
WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC,
AND I’LL SING ONCE MORE.
1380. SOUTH OF THE BORDER 1939 |
SOUTH OF THE BORDER
DOWN MEXICO WAY.
THAT’S WHERE I FELL IN LOVE
WHEN STARS ABOVE CAME OUT TO PLAY.
AND NOW AS I WANDER,
MY THOUGHTS EVER STRAY,
SOUTH OF THE BORDER
DOWN MEXICO WAY.
SHE WAS A PICTURE
IN OLD SPANISH LACE.
JUST FOR A TENDER WHILE
l KISSED THE SMILE UPON HER FACE.
FOR IT WAS FIESTA,
AND WE WERE SO GAY.
SOUTH OF THE BORDER
DOWN MEXICO WAY.
THEN SHE SIGHED AS
SHE WHISPERED, “MANANA”,
NEVER DREAMING
THAT WE WERE PARTING.
AND I LIED AS I WHISPERED, “MANANA”,
FOR OUR TOMORROW NEVER CAME.
SOUTH OF THE BORDER
I RODE BACK ONE DAY.
THERE IN A VEIL OF WHITE
BY CANDLE-LIGHT SHE KNELT TO PRAY.
THE MISSION BELLS TOLD ME
THAT I MUSTN’T STAY,
SOUTH OF THE BORDER
DOWN MEXICO WAY.
AY- AY- AY- AY, AY- AY- AY- AY,

1382. STARDUST 1927 |
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY
I SPEND THE LONELY NIGHT,
DREAMING OF A SONG.
THE MELODY, HAUNTS MY REVERIE.
AND I AM ONCE AGAIN WITH YOU,
WHEN OUR LOVE WAS NEW,
AND EACH KISS AN INSPIRATION.
BUT THAT WAS LONG AGO,
AND NOW MY CONSOLATION,
IS IN THE STARDUST OF A SONG.
BESIDE A GARDEN WALL
WHEN STARS ARE BRIGHT,
YOU ARE IN MY ARMS.
THE NIGHTINGALE,
TELLS HIS FAIRYTALE,
OF PARADISE WHERE ROSES GREW.
THOUGH I DREAM IN VAIN,
IN MY HEART IT WILL REMAIN,
MY STARDUST MELODY,
THE MEMORY OF LOVE’S REFRAIN.
CHICKS AND DUCKS AND GEESE
BETTER SCURRY,
WHEN I TAKE YOU OUT IN THE SURREY.
WHEN I TAKE YOU OUT IN THE SURREY
WITH THE FRINGE ON TOP.
WATCH THAT FRINGE
AND SEE HOW IT FLUTTERS,
WHEN I DRIVE THEM
HIGH-STEPPIN1 STRUTTERS.
NOSEY POKES WILL PEEK
THROUGH THEIR SHUTTERS
AND THEIR EYES WILL POP.
THE WHEELS ARE YELLOW,
THE UPHOLSTERY’S BROWN,
THE DASHBOARD’S GENUINE LEATHER.
WITH ISINGLASS CURTAINS
YOU CAN ROLL RIGHT DOWN,
IN CASE THERE’S A CHANGE
IN THE WEATHER.
TWO BRIGHT SIDE-LIGHTS
WINKIN’ AND BLINKIN’.
AIN’T NO FINER RIG I’M A THINKIN’.
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR RIG
IF YOU’RE THINKIN’
THAT I’D CARE TO SWAP,
FOR THAT SHINY LITTLE SURREY
WITH THE FRINGE ON THE TOP.

SWANEE,

I’D GIVE THE WORLD TO BE
AMONG THE FOLKS IN D-1- X-1- E —
I EVEN KNOW MY MAMMY’S
WAITIN’ FOR ME, PRAYIN’ FOR ME
DOWN BY THE SWANEE.
THE FOLKS UP NORTH
WILL SEE ME NO MORE,
WHEN I GET TO THAT SWANEE SHORE.
SWANEE, SWANEE,
I AM COMING BACK TO SWANEE.
SWANEE, SWANEE,
I LOVE THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME.

I HAVE LOST.
YES, I LOST MY LITTLE DARLING

JUST WHEN ITS TIME TO GO,
“CHERIE, I LOVE YOU SO,”
THAT’S MY DESIRE.

I HAD MY CHANCE,
BUT ITS ALL OVER NOW.

COULD PASS ME BY.
THERE GOES MY HEART

I ROAMED AND I RAMBLED,
AND I FOLLOWED MY FOOTSTEPS,
TO THE SPARKLING SANDS,
OF HER DIAMOND DESERTS.
WHILE ALL AROUND ME,
A VOICE WAS SOUNDING;
THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.
WHEN THE SUN CAME SHINING,
AND I WAS STROLLING,
AND THE WHEAT FIELDS WAVING,
AND THE DUST CLOUDS ROLLING.
A VOICE WAS CHANTING,
AS THE FOG WAS LIFTING;
THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND,
THIS LAND IS MY LAND,
FROM CALIFORNIA,
TO THE NEW YORK ISLAND,
FROM THE REDWOOD FOREST,
TO THE GULF STREAM WATERS;
THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.

NO GOOD ALONE, TO EACH HIS OWN,
AND MY OWN IS YOU.
IF A FLAME IS TO GROW
THERE MUST BE A GLOW.
TO OPEN EACH DOOR THERE’S A KEY.
I NEED YOU, I KNOW,
I CANT LET YOU GO.
YOUR TOUCH MEANS TOO MUCH TO ME.
TWO LIPS MUST INSIST
ON TWO MORE TO BE KISSED,
OR THEY’LL NEVER KNOW
WHAT LOVE CAN DO.
TO EACH HIS OWN, I’VE FOUND MY OWN,
ONE AND ONLY YOU.
1418. TOGETHER 1928 |
WE STROLLED THE LANE, TOGETHER.
LAUGHED AT THE RAIN, TOGETHER.
SANG LOVE’S REFRAIN, TOGETHER.
AND WE’D BOTH PRETEND
IT WOULD NEVER END.
BUT ONE DAY WE CRIED, TOGETHER.
CAST LOVE ASIDE, TOGETHER.
YOU’RE GONE FROM ME
BUT IN MY MEMORY,
WE ALWAYS WILL BE TOGETHER.
1419. TOO- RA- LOO- RA- LOO- RA 1913 j
OVER IN KILLARNEY, MANY YEARS AGO,
MY MOTHER SANG THIS SONG TO ME
IN TONES SO SWEET AND LOW.
JUST A SIMPLE IRISH DITTY,
IN HER SIMPLE IRISH WAY,
AND I’D GIVE THE WORLD
IF I COULD HEAR HER SING TO ME THIS DAY.
TOO- RA- LOO- RA- LOO- RA,
TOO- RA- LOO- RA- LI.
TOO- RA- LOO- RA- LOO- RA,
HUSH NOW DON’T YOU CRY.
TOO- RA- LOO- RA- LOO- RA,
TOO- RA- LOO- RA- LI.
TOO- RA- LOO- RA- LOO- RA,
THAT’S AN IRISH LULLABY.

_________________________________1922
TOOT, TOOT, TOOTSIE GOODBYE.
TOOT, TOOT, TOOTSIE DON’T CRY.
THE CHOO-CHOO TRAIN THAT TAKES ME,
AWAY FROM YOU, NO WORDS CAN TELL
HOW SAD IT MAKES ME.
KISS ME TOOTSIE AND THEN,
DO IT OVER AGAIN.
WATCH FOR THE MAIL. I’LL NEVER FAIL.
IF YOU DON’T GET A LETTER
THEN YOU’LL KNOW I’M JAIL .
TOOT, TOOT, TOOTSIE DON’T CRY.
TOOT, TOOT, TOOTSIE GOODBYE.
1421. TREES 1913 |
I THINK THAT I SHALL NEVER SEE
A POEM AS LOVELY AS A TREE.
A TREE WHOSE HUNGRY MOUTH
IS PRESSED,
AGAINST THE EARTH’S
SWEET FLOWING BREAST.
A TREE THAT LOOKS AT GOD ALL DAY,
AND LIFTS HER LEAFY ARMS TO PRAY.
A TREE THAT MAY IN SUMMER WEAR,
A NEST OF ROBINS IN HER HAIR.
UPON WHOSE BOSOM SNOW HAS LAIN.
WHO INTIMATELY LIVES WITH RAIN.
POEMS ARE MADE BY FOOLS LIKE ME,
BUT ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A TREE.

ON HIGH WITH NOTHING TO DO,
BUT TO GIVE TO YOU AND TO GIVE TO ME,
LOVE FOREVER TRUE.
1423. TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS 1932 |
SHE MAY BE WEARY,
WOMEN DO GET WEARY,
WEARING THAT SAME SHABBY DRESS.
AND WHEN SHE GETS WEARY,
TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS.
YOU KNOW SHE’S WAITING,
JUST ANTICIPATING,
THINGS THAT SHE’LL NEVER POSSESS.
BUT WHILE SHE’S WAITING,
TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS.
IT’S NOT JUST SENTIMENTAL,
SHE HAS HER GRIEF AND CARE,
AND A WORD THAT’S SOFT AND GENTLE,
MAKES IT EASIER TO BEAR.
YOU WONT REGRET IT,
WOMEN DON’T FORGET IT,
LOVE IS THEIR WHOLE HAPPINESS.
IT’S ALL SO EASY,
TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS.

OUT OF THE MIST YOUR VOICE IS CALLING,
IT’S TWILIGHT TIME.
WHEN PURPLE-COLORED CURTAINS
MARK THE END OF DAY,
I HEAR YOU, MY DEAR, AT TWILIGHT TIME.
DEEPENING SHADOWS GATHER SPLENDOR,
AS DAY IS DONE.
FINGERS OF NIGHT WILL SOON SURRENDER,
THE SETTING SUN.
I COUNT THE MOMENTS, DARLING,
TILL YOU’RE HERE WITH ME,
TOGETHER, AT LAST AT TWILIGHT TIME.
HERE, IN THE AFTERGLOW OF DAY,
WE KEEP OUR RENDEZVOUS
BENEATH THE BLUE.
HERE, IN THE SWEET AND SAME OLD WAY,
I FALL IN LOVE AGAIN, AS I DID THEN.
DEEP IN THE DARK
YOUR KISS WILL THRILL ME,
LIKE DAYS OF OLD.
LIGHTING THE SPARK OF LOVE
THAT FILLS ME, WITH DREAMS UNTOLD.
EACH DAY I PRAY FOR EVENING
JUST TO BE WITH YOU,
TOGETHER, AT LAST AT TWILIGHT TIME.

BROUGHT THE SUN AND THE FLOWERS
WHERE THERE USED TO BE RAIN.
MY YESTERDAY WAS BLUE, DEAR.
TODAY I’M A PART OF YOU, DEAR.
MY LONELY NIGHTS ARE THROUGH, DEAR,
SINCE YOU SAID YOU WERE MINE.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES.
THERE’S A RAINBOW BEFORE ME.

THE DARK SACRED NIGHT
AND I THINK TO MYSELF,
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.
THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW,
SO PRETTY IN THE SKY,
ARE ALSO ON THE FACES,
OF PEOPLE GOING BY.
I SEE FRIENDS SHAKING HANDS,
SAYING, “HOW DO YOU DO?”
THEY’RE REALLY SAYING, “I LOVE YOU”.
I HEAR BABIES CRY, I WATCH THEM GROW.
THEY’LL LEARN MUCH MORE,
THAN I’LL EVER KNOW.
AND I THINK TO MYSELF,
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.
YES, I THINK TO MYSELF,
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.

WHEN I’M ALONE WITH ONLY DREAMS OF YOU
THAT WON’T COME TRUE, WHAT’LL I DO?

TEARDROP SHOULD FALL.
WHEN YOUR SWEET LILTING LAUGHTER’S
LIKE SOME FAIRY SONG,
AND YOUR EYES
TWINKLE BRIGHT AS CAN BE.
YOU SHOULD LAUGH ALL THE WHILE,

451. WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR

1940
WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR,
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHO YOU ARE.
ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES
WILL COME TO YOU.
IF YOUR HEART IS IN YOUR DREAM,
NO REQUEST IS TOO EXTREME.
WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR
AS DREAMERS DO.
FATE IS KIND.
IT BRINGS TO THOSE WHO LOVE,
THE SWEET FULFILLMENT OF
THEIR SECRET LONGING.

FATE STEPS IN AND SEES YOU THROUGH.

YOUR DREAM COMES TRUE.

WHAT A BLESSING NO ONE KNOWS.
YOU MADE LIFE CHEERY,
WHEN YOU CALLED ME DEARIE;
’TWAS DOWN WHERE THE
BLUE GRASS GROWS.
YOUR LIPS WERE SWEETER THAN JULEP,
WHEN YOU WORE A TULIP,
AND I WORE A BIG RED ROSE.
1453. WHIFFENPOOFSONG 1909 |

SING THE WHIFFENPOOFS ASSEMBLED,
WITH THEIR GLASSES RAISED ON HIGH,
AND THE MAGIC OF THEIR SINGING
CASTS ITS SPELL.
YES, THE MAGIC OF THEIR SINGING
OF THE SONGS WE LOVE SO WELL:
“SHALL I WASTING” AND “MAVOURNEEN”
AND THE REST.
WE WILL SERENADE OUR LOUIE
WHILE LIFE AND VOICE SHALL LAST.
THEN WE’LL PASS AND BE FORGOTTEN
WITH THE REST.
WE’RE POOR LITTLE LAMBS
WHO HAVE LOST OUR WAY,
BAA, BAA, BAA.
WE’RE LITTLE BLACK SHEEP
WHO HAVE GONE ASTRAY,
BAA, BAA, BAA.
GENTLEMEN SONGSTERS
OFF ON A SPREE,
DOOMED FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.
LORD HAVE MERCY ON SUCH AS WE,
BAA, BAA, BAA.
1454. WHISPERING 1920 |
WHISPERING
WHILE YOU CUDDLE NEAR ME.
WHISPERING
SO NO ONE CAN HEAR ME.
EACH LITTLE WHISPER
SEEMS TO CHEER ME.
I KNOW IT’S TRUE
THERE’S NO ONE, DEAR, BUT YOU.
YOU’RE WHISPERING
WHY YOU’LL NEVER LEAVE ME.
WHISPERING
WHY YOU’LL NEVER GRIEVE ME.
WHISPER AND SAY THAT YOU BELIEVE ME.
WHISPERING THAT I LOVE YOU.

WHO’S CRYING TOO?
JUST LIKE I CRIED OVER YOU.
RIGHT TO THE END, JUST LIKE A FRIEND,
I TRIED TO WARN YOU SOMEHOW.
YOU HAD YOUR WAY.
NOW YOU MUST PAY.
I’M GLAD THAT YOU’RE SORRY NOW.
1459. WHY DO I LOVE YOU? 1927 |
WHY DO I LOVE YOU?
WHY DO YOU LOVE ME?
WHY SHOULD THERE BE TWO HAPPY AS WE?
CAN YOU SEE THE WHY OR WHEREFORE,
I SHOULD BE THE ONE YOU CARE FOR?
YOU’RE A LUCKY BOY. I AM LUCKY TOO.
ALL OUR DREAMS OF JOY
SEEM TO COME TRUE.
MAYBE THAT’S BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME.
MAYBE THAT’S WHY I LOVE YOU.
460. WHY DON’T WE DO THIS
MORE OFTEN?______________1941
WHY DON’T WE DO THIS MORE OFTEN,
JUST WHAT WE’RE DOIN’ TONIGHT?
GEE! BUT IT’S GREAT
TO GET TOGETHER AGAIN.
WHY DOES IT ONLY
HAPPEN NOW AND THEN?
WE OUGHT TO DO THIS MORE OFTEN,
DON’T YOU AGREE THAT I’M RIGHT?
WE MAKE EACH OTHER LAUGH,
WE MAKE EACH OTHER SING.
AND YOU CAN NEVER EVER
OVERDO A GOOD THING.
SO WHY DON’T WE DO THIS MORE OFTEN,
JUST WHAT WE’RE DOIN’ TONIGHT?

1461. WINTER WONDERLAND 1934 |
SLEIGH BELLS RING, ARE YOU LIST’NING?
IN THE LANE, SNOW IS GLIST’NING.
A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT,
WE’RE HAPPY TONIGHT,
WALKIN’ IN A WINTER WONDERLAND.
GONE AWAY IS THE BLUEBIRD,
HERE TO STAY IS THE NEW BIRD.
HE SINGS A LOVE SONG, AS WE GO ALONG,
WALKIN’ IN A WINTER WONDERLAND.
IN THE MEADOW
WE CAN BUILD A SNOWMAN,
THEN PRETEND
THAT HE IS PARSON BROWN.
HE’LL SAY, “ARE YOU MARRIED?”
WE’LL SAY, “NO MAN,
BUT YOU CAN DO THE JOB
WHEN YOU’RE IN TOWN.”
LATER ON, WE’LL CONSPIRE,
AS WE DREAM BY THE FIRE,
TO FACE UNAFRAID,
THE PLANS THAT WE MADE,
WALKIN’ IN A WINTER WONDERLAND.
1462. WITH A SONG IN MY HEART 1929 |
WITH A SONG IN MY HEART,
l BEHOLD YOUR ADORABLE FACE.
JUST A SONG AT THE START,
BUT IT SOON IS
A HYMN TO YOUR GRACE.
THEN THE MUSIC SWELLS,
I’M TOUCHING YOUR HAND.
IT TELLS ME THAT
YOU’RE STANDING NEAR, AND —
AT THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE,
HEAVEN OPENS ITS PORTALS TO ME.
CAN I HELP BUT REJOICE,
THAT A SONG SUCH AS OURS
CAME TO BE?
BUT I ALWAYS KNEW,
I WOULD LIVE LIFE THROUGH,
WITH A SONG IN MY HEART FOR YOU.
1463. WITHOUT A SONG 1929 |
WITHOUT A SONG,
THE DAY WOULD NEVER END.
WITHOUT A SONG,
THE ROAD WOULD NEVER BEND.
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG,
A MAN AIN’T GOT A FRIEND
WITHOUT A SONG.
THAT FIELD OF CORN,
WOULD NEVER SEE A PLOW.
THAT FIELD OF CORN,
WOULD BE DESERTED NOW.
A MAN IS BORN,
BUT HE’S NO GOOD NO HOW,
WITHOUT A SONG.
I GOT MY TROUBLE AND WOE,
BUT SURE AS l KNOW,
THE JORDAN WILL FLOW.
I’LL GET ALONG, AS LONG AS A SONG,
IS STRONG IN MY SOUL.
I’LL NEVER KNOW,
WHAT MAKES THE RAIN TO FALL.
I’LL NEVER KNOW,
WHAT MAKES THE GRASS SO TALL.
I ONLY KNOW,
THERE AIN’T NO LOVE AT ALL,
WITHOUT A SONG.
1464. YANKEE DOODLE 1775 |
I’M A YANKEE DOODLE DANDY,
A YANKEE DOODLE DO OR DIE.
A REAL LIVE NEPHEW OF MY UNCLE SAM,
BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY.
I’VE A YANKEE DOODLE SWEETHEART.
SHE’S MY YANKEE DOODLE JOY.
YANKEE DOODLE CAME TO LONDON
JUST TO RIDE THE PONIES.
I AM THE YANKEE DOODLE BOY.

465. YELLOW BIRD [HAITI ]
WORDS -1883 MUSIC -1893
YELLOW BIRD, HIGH UP IN BANANA TREE.
YELLOW BIRD, YOU SIT ALL ALONE LIKE ME.
DID YOUR LADY FRIEND
LEAVE THE NEST AGAIN?
THAT IS VERY SAD, MAKES ME FEEL SO BAD.
YOU CAN FLY AWAY, IN THE SKY AWAY.
YOU’RE MORE LUCKY THAN ME!
I ALSO HAVE A PRETTY GAL;
SHE’S NOT WITH ME TODAY.
THEY’RE ALL THE SAME,THE PRETTY GALS.
MAKE THEM THE NEST;
THEN THEY FLYAWAY.
YELLOW BIRD, HIGH UP IN BANANA TREE.
YELLOW BIRD, YOU SIT ALL ALONE LIKE ME.
BETTER FLY AWAY, IN THE SKY AWAY,
PICKER COMIN’ SOON
PICK FROM EIGHT TO NOON.
BLACK AND YELLOW YOU, LIKE BANANA TOO.
THEY MIGHT PICK YOU SOMEDAY!
WISH THAT I WAS A YELLOW BIRD.
I’D FLY AWAY WITH YOU.
BUT I AM NOT A YELLOW BIRD,
SO HERE I SIT — NOTHING ELSE TO DO.
1466. YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS 1853 |
THERE’S A YELLOW ROSE IN TEXAS,
THAT I AM GOING TO SEE.
NOBODY ELSE COULD MISS HER,
NOT HALF AS MUCH AS ME.
SHE CRIED SO WHEN I LEFT HER,
IT LIKE TO BROKE MY HEART.
AND IF I EVER FIND HER,
WE NEVER MORE WILL PART.
CHORUS
SHE’S THE SWEETEST LITTLE ROSEBUD,
THAT TEXAS EVER KNEW.
HER EYES ARE BRIGHT AS DIAMONDS,
THEY SPARKLE LIKE THE DEW.
YOU MAY TALK ABOUT
YOUR CLEMENTINE
AND SING OF ROSALIE,
BUT THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS
IS THE ONLY GIRL FOR ME.
WHEN THE RIO GRANDE IS FLOWING,
THE STARRY SKIES ARE BRIGHT.
SHE WALKS ALONG THE RIVER
IN THE QUIET SUMMER NIGHT.
I KNOW THAT SHE REMEMBERS,
WHEN WE PARTED LONG AGO.
I PROMISE TO RETURN AGAIN,
AND NOT TO LEAVE HER SO.
REPEAT CHORUS
OH, NOW I’M GOING TO FIND HER,
FOR MY HEART IS FULL OF WOE.
AND WE’LL SING THE SONGS TOGETHER,
THAT WE SANG SO LONG AGO.
WE’LL PLAY THE BANJO GAILY,
AND WE’LL SING THE SONGS OF YORE.
AND THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS
SHALL BE MINE FOR EVERMORE.
REPEAT CHORUS
1467. YES SIR, THAT’S MY BABY 1925 |
YES SIR, THAT’S MY BABY.
NO SIR, WE DON’T MEAN MAYBE.
YES SIR, THAT’S MY BABY NOW.
YES MA’AM, WE’VE DECIDED.
NO MA’AM, WE WON’T HIDE IT.
YES MA’AM, YOU’RE INVITED NOW.
BY THE WAY. BY THE WAY.
WHEN WE REACH THE PREACHER
I’LL SAY:
YES SIR, THAT’S MY BABY.
NO SIR, DON’T MEAN MAYBE.
YES SIR, THAT’S MY BABY NOW.
1468. YES. WE HAVE NO BANANAS 1922 |
YES! WE HAVE NO BANANAS,
WE HAVE NO BANANAS TODAY.
WE’VE STRING BEANS AND ONIONS,
CABBAGES AND SCALLIONS
AND ALL KINDS OF FRUITS, AND SAY!
WE HAVE OLD-FASHIONED TOMATO,
LONG ISLAND POTATO, BUTYES!
WE HAVE NO BANANAS.
WE HAVE NO BANANAS TODAY.

469. YOU ALWAYS HURT
THE ONE YOU LOVE 1944
YOU ALWAYS HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE,
THE ONE YOU SHOULDN’T HURT AT ALL.
YOU ALWAYS TAKE THE SWEETEST ROSE,
AND CRUSH IT TILL THE PETALS FALL
YOU ALWAYS BREAK THE KINDEST HEART,
WITH A HASTY WORD YOU CANT RECALL.
SO IF I BROKE YOUR HEART LAST NIGHT,
IT’S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU MOST OF ALL.
1470. YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE 1939 |
CHORUS
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE,
MY ONLY SUNSHINE.
YOU MAKE ME HAPPY
WHEN SKIES ARE GRAY.
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW, DEAR,
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY.
THE OTHER NIGHT DEAR,
AS I LAY SLEEPING,
I DREAMED I HELD YOU BY MY SIDE.
BUT WHEN I WOKE/DEAR,
I WAS MISTAKEN,
SO I HUNG MY HEAD AND I AND CRIED.
REPEAT CHORUS
I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU,
AND WANT YOU NEAR ME,
IF YOU WILL ONLY DO THE SAME.
BUT IF YOU LEAVE ME,
TO LOVE ANOTHER,
YOU CAN HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME.
REPEAT CHORUS
1471. YOU BELONG TO ME 1952 |
SEE THE PYRAMIDS ALONG THE NILE.
WATCH THE SUNRISE ON A TROPIC ISLE.
JUST REMEMBER, DARLING,
ALL THE WHILE — YOU BELONG TO ME.
SEE THE MARKETPLACE IN OLD ALGIERS.
SEND ME PHOTOGRAPHS AND SOUVENIRS.
JUST REMEMBER WHEN A
DREAM APPEARS — YOU BELONG TO ME.
I’LL BE SO ALONE WITHOUT YOU.
MAYBE YOU’LL BE LONELY TOO, AND BLUE.
FLY THE OCEAN IN A SILVER PLANE.
SEE THE JUNGLE
WHEN IT’S WET WITH RAIN.
JUST REMEMBER TILL YOU’RE
HOME AGAIN — YOU BELONG TO ME
1472. YOU BELONG TO MY HEART 1941 |
YOU BELONG TO MY HEART,
NOW AND FOREVER.
AND OUR LOVE HAD ITS START,
NOT LONG AGO.
WE WERE GATHERING STARS
WHILE A MILLION GUITARS
PLAYED OUR LOVE SONG.
WHEN I SAID, “I LOVE YOU,”
EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART SAID IT TOO.
‘TWAS A MOMENT LIKE THIS,
DO YOU REMEMBER?
AND YOUR EYES THREW A KISS,
WHEN THEY MET MINE.
NOW WE OWN ALL THE STARS
AND A MILLION GUITARS
ARE STILL PLAYING.
DARLING, YOU ARE THE SONG
AND YOU’LL ALWAYS BELONG TO MY HEART.
1473. YOU’LL NEVER KNOW 1943 |
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
JUST HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
JUST HOW MUCH I CARE.
AND IF I TRIED, I STILL COULDN’T HIDE
MY LOVE FOR YOU.
YOU OUGHT TO KNOW,
FOR HAVEN’T I TOLD YOU SO
A MILLION OR MORE TIMES.
YOU WENT AWAY
AND MY HEART WENT WITH YOU.
I SPEAK YOUR NAME
IN MY EVERY PRAYER.
IF THERE IS SOME OTHER WAY
TO PROVE THAT I LOVE YOU,
I SWEAR I DON’T KNOW HOW.
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
IF YOU DON’T KNOW NOW.

1474. YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE 1945 |
WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH A STORM,
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH,
AND DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK.
AT THE END OF THE STORM,
THERE’S A GOLDEN SKY,
AND THE SWEET, SILVER SONG OF A LARK.
WALK ON THROUGH THE WIND,
WALK ON THROUGH THE RAIN,
THOUGH YOUR DREAMS
BE TOSSED AND BLOWN.
WALK ON, WALK ON,
WITH HOPE IN YOUR HEART
AND YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE.
YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE.
[475! YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU 1913 |
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
AND SOMETIMES YOU MADE ME GLAD.
BUT THERE WERE TIMES, DEAR,
YOU MADE ME FEEL SO BAD.
YOU MADE ME SIGH 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.
GIVE ME, GIVEME WHAT I CRY FOR.
YOU KNOW YOU’VE GOT THE BRAND OF
KISSES THAT I DIE FOR.
YOU KNOW YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU.
476. YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
A BEAUTIFUL BABY___________1938
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 THOSE
LITTLE BOYS WILD.
AND WHEN IT CAME
TO WINNIN’ 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!
1477. YOUR CHEATING HEART 1952 |
YOUR CHEATING HEART,
WILL MAKE YOU WEEP.
YOU’LL CRY AND CRY, AND TRY TO SLEEP.
BUT SLEEP WON’T COME,
THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH.
YOUR CHEATING HEART, WILL TELL ON YOU.
WHEN TEARS COME DOWN,
LIKE FALUN’ RAIN,
YOU’LL TOSS AROUND,
AND CALL MY NAME.
YOU’LL WALK THE FLOOR,
THE WAY I DO.
YOUR CHEATING HEART, WILL TELL ON YOU.
YOUR CHEATING HEART,
WILL PINE SOME DAY,
AND CRAVE THE LOVE YOU THREW AWAY.
THE TIME WILL COME,
WHEN YOU’LL BE BLUE.
YOUR CHEATING HEART, WILL TELL ON YOU.
1478. YOU’RE A GRAND OLD FLAG 1906 |
YOU’RE A GRAND OLD FLAG,
YOU’RE A HIGH-FLYING FLAG,
AND FOREVER IN PEACE MAY YOU WAVE.
YOU’RE THE EMBLEM OF, THE LAND I LOVE,
THE HOME OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE.
EVERY HEART BEATS TRUE
FOR THE RED WHITE AND BLUE,
AND THERE’S NEVER A BOAST OR BRAG.
SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT,
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE GRAND OLD FLAG.

1479. YOURS 1931 |
YOURS, TILL THE STARS HAVE NO GLORY.
YOURS, TILL THE BIRDS FAIL TO SING.
YOURS, TO THE END OF LIFE’S STORY,
THIS PLEDGE TO YOU, DEAR, I BRING.
YOURS, IN THE GRAY OF DECEMBER,
HERE OR ON FAR DISTANT SHORES.
I NEVER LOVED ANYONE
THE WAY I LOVE YOU.
HOW COULD I, WHEN WAS BORN TO BE,
JUST YOURS?
480. YOU TELL ME YOUR DREAM,
I’LL TELL YOU MINE 1899
YOU HAD A DREAM, DEAR,
I HAD ONE TOO.
MINE WAS THE BEST DREAM
BECAUSE IT WAS OF YOU.
COME SWEETHEART TELL ME,
NOW IS THE TIME.
YOU TELL ME YOUR DREAM
AND I WILL TELL YOU MINE.
1481. YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME 1929 |
YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME.
I WAS MEANT FOR YOU.
NATURE PATTERNED YOU
AND WHEN SHE WAS DONE,
YOU WERE ALL THE SWEET THINGS
ROLLED INTO ONE.
YOU’RE LIKE A PLAINTIVE MELODY,
THAT NEVER LETS ME FREE,
FOR I’M CONTENT
THE ANGELS MUST HAVE SENT YOU,
AND THEY MEANT YOU JUST FOR ME
