1. A DREAM IS A WISH
YOUR HEART MAKES 1950
A DREAM IS A WISH YOUR HEART MAKES,
WHEN YOU’RE FAST ASLEEP.
IN DREAMS YOU WILL LOSE
YOUR HEARTACHES.
WHATEVER YOU WISH FOR, YOU KEEP.
HAVE FAITH IN YOUR DREAMS
AND SOMEDAY, YOUR RAINBOW
WILL COME SHINING THROUGH.
NO MATTER HOW YOUR HEART
IS GRIEVING,
IF YOU KEEP ON BELIEVING,
THE DREAM THAT YOU WISH
WILL COME TRUE.
12. AFTER YOU’VE GONE 1918 |
AFTER YOU’VE GONE,
AND LEFT ME CRYING.
AFTER YOU’VE GONE,
THERE’S NO DENYING.
YOU’LL FEEL BLUE. YOU’LL FEEL SAD.
YOU’LL MISS THE DEAREST
PAL YOU’VE EVER HAD.
THERE’LL COME A TIME,
NOW DON’T FORGET IT.
THERE’LL COME A TIME,
WHEN YOU’LL REGRET IT.
SOMEDAY, WHEN YOU GROW LONELY,
YOUR HEART WILL BREAK LIKE MINE
AND YOU’LL WANT ME ONLY.
AFTER YOU’VE GONE,
AFTER YOU’VE GONE AWAY.
13. AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ 1929 |
NO ONE TO TALK WITH, ALL BY MYSELF.
NO ONE TO WALK WITH,
BUT I’M HAPPY ON THE SHELF.
AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’,
I’M SAVIN’ MY LOVE FOR YOU.
I KNOW FOR CERTAIN, THE ONE I LOVE.
I’M THROUGH WITH FLIRTIN’,
IT’S JUST YOU I’M THINKING OF.
AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’,
I’M SAVIN’ MY LOVE FOR YOU.
LIKE JACK HORNER, IN THE CORNER,
DON’T GO NOWHERE, WHAT DO I CARE?
YOUR KISSES ARE WORTH WAITING FOR.
I DON’T STAY OUT LATE,
DON’T CARE TO GO.
I’M HOME ABOUT EIGHT,
JUST ME AND MY RADIO.
AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’,
I’M SAVIN’ MY LOVE FOR YOU.
14. AIN’T SHE SWEET 1927 |
AIN’T SHE SWEET?
SEE HER WALKIN’ DOWN THE STREET.
NOW I ASK YOU VERY CONFIDENTIALLY,
AIN’T SHE SWEET?
AIN’T SHE NICE?
LOOK HER OVER ONCE OR TWICE.
AND I ASK YOU VERY CONFIDENTIALLY,
AIN’T SHE NICE?
JUST CAST AN EYE IN HER DIRECTION.
OH ME, OH MY, AIN’T THAT PERFECTION?
I REPEAT,
DON’T YOU THINK THAT’S KINDA NEAT?
AND I ASK YOU VERY CONFIDENTIALLY,
AIN’T SHE SWEET?
15. AIN’T WE GOT FUN 1921 l
EVERY MORNING, EVERY EVENING,
AIN’T WE GOT FUN?
NOT MUCH MONEY, OH BUT HONEY,
AIN’T WE GOT FUN?
THE RENT’S UNPAID DEAR,
WE HAVEN’T A BUS.
BUT SMILES WERE MADE DEAR,
FOR PEOPLE LIKE US.
IN THE WINTER, IN THE SUMMER,
AIN’T WE GOT FUN?
TIMES ARE BUM AND GETTING BUMMER,
STILL WE HAVE FUN.
THERE’S NOTHING SURER,
THE RICH GET RICH AND
THE POOR GET POORER.
IN THE MEANTIME, IN BETWEEN TIME,
AIN’T WE GOT FUN?

17. ALICE BLUE GOWN 1919 |
IN MY SWEET LITTLE ALICE BLUE GOWN,
WHEN I FIRST WANDERED DOWN
INTO TOWN.
I WAS BOTH PROUD AND SHY,
AS I FELT EVERY EYE,
BUT IN EVERY SHOP WINDOW
I’D PRIMP PASSING BY.
THEN IN MANNER OF FASHION I’D FROWN.
AND THE WORLD SEEMED TO SMILE
ALL AROUND.
TILL IT WILTED, I WORE IT.
I’LL ALWAYS ADORE IT,
MY SWEET LITTLE ALICE BLUE GOWN.
18. A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN 1940 |
SURE A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN FELL
FROM OUT THE SKY ONE DAY,
AND IT NESTLED ON THE OCEAN
IN A SPOT SO FAR AWAY.
AND WHEN THE ANGELS FOUND IT,
SURE IT LOOKED SO SWEET AND FAIR.
THEY SAID, “SUPPOSE WE LEAVE IT,
FOR IT LOOKS SO PEACEFUL THERE.”
THEN THEY SPRINKLED IT WITH STARDUST,
JUST TO MAKE THE SHAMROCKS GROW.
TIS THE ONLY PLACE YOU’LL FIND THEM,
NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO.
THEN THEY DOTTED IT WITH SILVER,
JUST TO MAKE IT’S LAKES SO GRAND.
AND WHEN THEY HAD IT FINISHED,
SURE THEY CALLED IT IRELAND.
19. ALL BY MYSELF 1921 |
ALL BY MYSELF IN THE MORNING.
ALL BY MYSELF IN THE NIGHT.
I SIT ALONE IN MY COZY MORRIS CHAIR,
SO UNHAPPY THERE, PLAYING SOLITAIRE.
ALL BY MYSELF I GET LONELY,
WATCHING THE CLOCK ON THE SHELF.
I’D LIKE TO REST MY WEARY HEAD
ON SOMEBODY’S SHOULDER,
I HATE GROWING OLDER, ALL BY MYSELF.
110. ALL OF ME 1931 |
ALL OF ME, WHY NOT TAKE ALL OF ME?
CAN’T YOU SEE, I’M NO GOOD WITHOUT YOU?
TAKE MY LIPS; I WANT TO LOSE THEM.
TAKE MY ARMS; I’LL NEVER USE THEM.
YOUR GOODBYE,
LEFT ME WITH EYES THAT CRY.
HOW CAN I GO ON, DEAR, WITHOUT YOU?
YOU TOOK THE PART
THAT ONCE WAS MY HEART,
SO WHY NOT TAKE ALL OF ME?
111. ALWAYS 1925 l
I’LL BE LOVING YOU, ALWAYS.
WITH A LOVE THAT’S TRUE, ALWAYS.
WHEN THE THINGS YOU’VE PLANNED,
NEED A HELPING HAND,
I WILL UNDERSTAND, ALWAYS, ALWAYS.
DAYS MAY NOT BE FAIR, ALWAYS.
THAT’S WHEN I’LL BE THERE, ALWAYS.
NOT FOR JUST AN HOUR,
NOT FOR JUST A DAY,
NOT FOR JUST A YEAR, BUT ALWAYS.

AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND
THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME!
I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW AM FOUND;
WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE.
’TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT
MY HEART TO FEAR,
AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIEVED.
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR,
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED.
THROUGH MANY DANGERS,
TOILS AND SNARES,
I HAVE ALREADY COME.
TIS GRACE HATH BROUGHT
ME SAFE THUS FAR,
AND GRACE WILL LEAD ME HOME.
THE LORD HAS PROMISED GOOD TO ME,
HIS WORD MY HOPE SECURES.
HE WILL MY SHIELD AND PORTION BE,
AS LONG AS LIFE ENDURES.
YEA, WHEN THIS FLESH
AND HEART SHALL FAIL,
AND MORTAL LIFE SHALL CEASE.
I SHALL POSSESS, WITHIN THE VEIL,
A LIFE OF JOY AND PEACE.
THE EARTH SHALL SOON
DISSOLVE LIKE SNOW,
THE SUN FORBEAR TO SHINE.
BUT GOD, WHO CALLED ME HERE BELOW,
WILL BE FOREVER MINE.
WHEN WE’VE BEEN THERE
TEN THOUSAND YEARS,
BRIGHT SHINING AS THE SUN.
WE’VE NO LESS DAYS
TO SING GOD’S PRAISE,
THAN WHEN WE’D FIRST BEGUN.
113. AMERICA 1831 |
MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE,
SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY,
OF THEE I SING.
LAND WHERE MY FATHERS DIED,
LAND OF THE PILGRIM’S PRIDE,
FROM EVERY MOUNTAINSIDE,

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA.
OH BEAUTIFUL, FOR HEROES PROVED,

UNDIMMED BY HUMAN TEARS.
AMERICA, AMERICA,
GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE;
AND CROWN THY GOOD
WITH BROTHERHOOD,
FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA.

ANGRY? PLEASE DON’T BE ANGRY,
‘CAUSE I WAS ONLY TEASING YOU.

‘CAUSE I WAS ONLY TEASING YOU.
117. ANNIVERSARY SONG 1946 |
OH, HOW WE DANCED
ON THE NIGHT WE WERE WED.
WE VOWED OUR TRUE LOVE,
THOUGH A WORD WASN’T SAID.
THE WORLD WAS IN BLOOM,
THERE WERE STARS IN THE SKIES.
EXCEPT FOR THE FEW
THAT WERE THERE IN YOUR EYES.
CHORUS
DEAR, AS I HELD YOU
SO CLOSE IN MY ARMS,
ANGELS WERE SINGING
A HYMN TO YOUR CHARMS.
TWO HEARTS GENTLY BEATING,
MURMURING LOW.
DARLING, I LOVE YOU SO.
THE NIGHT SEEMED TO FADE
INTO BLOSSOMING DAWN.
THE SUN SHONE ANEW,
BUT THE DANCE LINGERED ON.
COULD WE BUT RELIVE
THAT SWEET MOMENT SUBLIME,
WE’D FIND THAT LOVE
IS UNALTERED BY TIME.
REPEAT CHORUS
118. ANYTIME 1921 |

THAT’S THE TIME I’LL BE THINKING OF YOU.
AND ANY TIME YOU SAY
YOU WANT ME BACK AGAIN, THAT’S THE TIME
I’LL COME BACK HOME TO YOU.
119. A PRETTY GIRL 1919 ~|
A PRETTY GIRL IS LIKE A MELODY
THAT HAUNTS YOU NIGHT AND DAY.
JUST LIKE THE STRAIN,
OF A HAUNTING REFRAIN,
SHE STARTS UPON A MARATHON
AND RUNS AROUND YOUR BRAIN.
YOU CANT EXPLAIN
SHE’S IN YOUR MEMORY,
BY MORNING NIGHT AND NOON.
SHE MAY LEAVE YOU AND THEN,
COMEBACK AGAIN.
A PRETTY GIRL IS JUST LIKE A PRETTY TUNE.
120. APRIL SHOWERS 1921 |
THOUGH APRIL SHOWERS
MAY COME YOUR WAY,
THEY BRING THE FLOWERS
THAT BLOOM IN MAY.
SO IF IT’S RAINING, HAVE NO REGRETS,
BECAUSE IT ISN’T RAINING RAIN YOU KNOW,
IT’S RAINING VIOLETS.
AND WHEN YOU SEE CLOUDS
UPON THE HILL,
YOU SOON WILL SEE CROWDS
OF DAFFODILS.
SO KEEP ON LOOKING FOR A BLUEBIRD,
AND LISTENING FOR HIS SONG,
WHENEVER APRIL SHOWERS COME ALONG.

ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?
DO YOU MISS ME TONIGHT?

DOES YOUR MEMORY STRAY,
TO A BRIGHT SUMMER DAY,
WHEN I KISSED YOU AND CALLED

122. AROUND THE WORLD 1956 |
AROUND THE WORLD

THE SMILE YOU’RE SMILING NOW.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN COUNTY DOWN,
IN OLD NEW YORK, IN GAY PAREE,
OR EVEN LONDON TOWN.
NO MORE WILL l
GO ALL AROUND THE WORLD,
FOR I HAVE FOUND MY WORLD IN YOU!
123. AS TIME GOES BY 1931 |
YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS,
A KISS IS STILL A KISS,
A SIGH IS JUST A SIGH.
THE FUNDAMENTAL THINGS APPLY
AS TIME GOES BY.
AND WHEN TWO LOVERS WOO,
THEY STILL SAY, “I LOVE YOU,”
ON THAT YOU CAN RELY.
NO MATTER WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS
AS TIME GOES BY.
MOONLIGHT AND LOVE SONGS
NEVER OUT OF DATE.
HEARTS FULL OF PASSION,
JEALOUSY, AND HATE.
WOMAN NEEDS MAN
AND MAN MUST HAVE HIS MATE;
THAT NO ONE CAN DENY.
IT’S STILL THE SAME OLD STORY:
A FIGHT FOR LOVE AND GLORY,
A CASE OF DO-OR-DIE.
THE WORLD WILL ALWAYS
WELCOME LOVERS,
AS TIME GOES BY.

THE CATTLE ARE LOWING,
THE BABY AWAKES.
BUT LITTLE LORD JESUS
NO CRYING HE MAKES.
I LOVE THEE, LORD JESUS,
LOOK DOWN FROM THE SKY; AND
STAY BY MY SIDE UNTIL MORNING IS NIGH.
BE NEAR ME LORD JESUS,

AND TAKE US TO HEAVEN
TO LIVE WITH THEE THERE.

IN THE EVENING DEWS AND DAMPS;
I CAN READ HIS RIGHTEOUS SENTENCE
BY THE DIM AND FLARING LAMPS:
HIS DAY IS MARCHING ON.
REPEAT CHORUS
IN THE BEAUTY OF THE LILIES

140. BIRTH OF THE BLUES 1926 |
THEY HEARD THE BREEZE IN THE TREES
SINGING WEIRD MELODIES,
AND THEY MADE THAT
THE START OF THE BLUES.
AND FROM A JAIL CAME A WAIL
FROM A DOWN-HEARTED FRAIL,
AND THEY PLAYED THAT
AS PART OF THE BLUES.
FROM A WHIPPOORWILL, OUT ON A HILL,
THEY TOOK A NEW NOTE.
PUSHED IT THROUGH A HORN,

AND GAVE OUT THE NEWS

WHERE THEY LOVE A GAL
BY THE CUT OF HER CLOTHES AND
I’LL STAND OUT IN BUTTONS AND BOWS.
I’LL LOVE YOU IN BUCKSKIN,
OR SKIRTS THAT I’VE HOMESPUN,
BUT I’LL LOVE YA LONGER, STRONGER,
WHERE YER FRIENDS DON’T TOTE A GUN.
MY BONES DENOUNCE
THE BUCKBOARD BOUNCE

CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE.
JACK FROST NIPPING AT YOUR NOSE.

EVERYBODY KNOWS, SOME TURKEY
AND SOME MISTLETOE,
HELP TO MAKE THE SEASON BRIGHT.
The Beatitudes Campus Sing-Along Song Book
TINY TOTS WITH THEIR EYES ALL AGLOW
WILL FIND IT HARD TO SLEEP TONIGHT.
THEY KNOW THAT SANTA’S ON HIS WAY.
HE’S LOADED LOTS OF TOYS AND
GOODIES ON HIS SLEIGH.
AND EVERY MOTHER’S CHILD IS GONNA SPY,
TO SEE IF REINDEER REALLY
KNOW HOW TO FLY.
AND SO I’M OFFERING THIS SIMPLE PHRASE,
FOR KIDS FROM ONE TO NINETY-TWO.
ALTHOUGH, IT’S BEEN SAID
MANY TIMES, MANY WAYS,
“MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!!”

WHY DO BIRDS SUDDENLY APPEAR
EVERY TIME YOU ARE NEAR?
JUST LIKE ME, THEY WANT TO BE
CLOSE TO YOU.
WHY DO STARS FALL DOWN FROM THE SKY
EVERY TIME YOU WALK BY?
JUST LIKE ME, THEY WANT TO BE
CLOSE TO YOU.
ON THE DAY THAT YOU WERE BORN
THE ANGELS GOT TOGETHER
AND DECIDED TO CREATE
A DREAM COME TRUE.
SO THEY SPRINKLED MOON DUST
IN YOUR HAIR
AND GOLDEN STARLIGHT
IN YOUR EYES OF BLUE.
THAT IS WHY ALL THE GIRLS IN TOWN
FOLLOW YOU ALL AROUND.

CLOSE TO YOU.
JUST LIKE ME, THEY LONG TO BE
CLOSE TO YOU.
166. COLD, COLD HEART 1951 |
I TRIED SO HARD, MY DEAR, TO SHOW
THAT YOU’RE MY EVERY DREAM.
YET YOU’RE AFRAID EACH THING I DO
IS JUST SOME EVIL SCHEME.
A MEM’RY FROM YOUR LONESOME PAST
KEEPS US SO FAR APART.
WHY CAN’T I FREE YOUR DOUBTFUL MIND
AND MELT YOUR COLD, COLD HEART?
ANOTHER LOVE BEFORE MY TIME
MADE YOUR HEART SAD AND BLUE.
AND SO MY HEART IS PAYING NOW
FOR THINGS I DIDN’T DO.
IN ANGER UNKIND WORDS ARE SAID
THAT MAKE THE TEARDROPS START.
WHY CANT I FREE YOUR DOUBTFUL MIND
AND MELT YOUR COLD, COLD HEART?
167. COMIN’ THROUGH THE RYE 1782 |
IF A BODY MEET A BODY

YET ALL THE LADS THEY SMILE ON ME,
WHEN COMIN’ THROUGH THE RYE.
168. COTTON FIELDS 1940 1

IT MAY SOUND A LITTLE BIT FUNNY,
BUT YOU DON’T MAKE VERY MUCH MONEY,
IN THEM OLD COTTON FIELDS BACK HOME.
REPEAT CHORUS
169. CRUISIN’DOWN THE RIVER 1946
CRUISIN’ DOWN THE RIVER
ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON,
WITH ONE YOU LOVE, THE SUN ABOVE,
WAITING FOR THE MOON.
THE OLD ACCORDIAN PLAYING
A SENTIMENTAL TUNE.
CRUISIN’ DOWN THE RIVER
ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
THE BIRDS ABOVE ALL SING OF LOVE,
A GENTLE SWEET REFRAIN.
THE WINDS AROUND ALL MAKE A SOUND,
LIKE SOFTLY FALLING RAIN.
THE TWO OF US TOGETHER,
WE’LL PLAN A HONEYMOON,
CRUISIN’ DOWN THE RIVER
ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

THE PLACE WHERE I AM LYING,
AND KNEEL AND SAY
AN “AVE” THERE FOR ME.
AND I SHALL HEAR,
THOUGH SOFT YOU TREAD ABOVE ME,
AND ALL MY DREAMS
WILL WARM AND SWEETER BE.

DEAR HEART, WISH YOU WERE HERE

THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT,

THE PRAIRIE SKY IS WIDE AND HIGH,
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.
THE SAGE IN BLOOM IS LIKE PERFUME,
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.
REMINDS ME OF THE ONE I LOVE,
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.
COYOTES WAIL ALONG THE TRAIL,
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.
THE RABBITS RUSH AROUND THE BRUSH,

178. DIPSY DOODLE 1937 |
THE DIPSY DOODLE IS A THING TO BEWARE.
THE DIPSY DOODLE WILL GET IN YOUR HAIR.
AND IF IT GETS YOU, IT COULDN’T BE WORSE.
THE THINGS YOU SAY
WILL COME OUT IN REVERSE.
LIKE — “YOU LOVE I AND ME LOVE YOU.”
THAT’S THE WAY THE DIPSY DOODLE WORKS.
THE DIPSY DOODLE IS EASY TO FIND.
IT’S ALMOST AWAYS
IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND.
YOU NEVER KNOW IT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE.
AND THEN YOU’RE IN
SUCH A TERRIBLE STATE.
LIKE — “THE MOON JUMPED OVER
THE COW, HEY DIDDLE.”
THAT’S THE WAY THE DIPSY DOODLE WORKS.
WHEN YOU THINK YOU’RE CRAZY,
YOU’RE A VICTIM OF THE DIPSY DOODLE.
BUT IT’S NOT YOUR MIND THAT’S HAZY;
IT’S YOUR TONGUE THAT’S AT FAULT,
NOT YOUR NOODLE.
YOU’D BETTER LISTEN AND TRY TO BE GOOD.
AND TRY TO DO ALL THE THINGS
THAT YOU SHOULD.
THE DIPSY DOODLE WILL GET YOU SOMEDAY.
YOU’LL THINK YOU’RE CRAZY,
BY THE THINGS THAT YOU SAY.
LIKE — “RHYTHMN GOT I” AND “HOT AM l.”
THAT’S THE WAY THE DIPSY DOODLE WORKS.

THE THRILL THAT I’ M FEELING,

LET ME BE BY MYSELF
IN THE EVENIN’ BREEZE,
LISTEN TO THE MURMUR
OF THE COTTONWOOD TREES,
SEND ME OFF FOREVER,

JUST TURN ME LOOSE, LET ME STRADDLE
MY OL’ SADDLE UNDERNEATH

ON MY CAYUSE,
LET ME WONDER OVER YONDER
TILL I SEE THE MOUNTAINS RISE.
I WANT TO RIDE TO THE RIDGE

GAZE AT THE MOON
TILL I LOSE MY SENSES.
I CANT LOOK AT HOBBLES
AND I CANT STAND FENCES;
DON’T FENCE ME IN.

193. DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME 1931 |
STARS SHINING BRIGHT ABOVE YOU,
NIGHT BREEZES SEEM TO WHISPER,
“I LOVE YOU.”
BIRDS SINGING IN THE SYCAMORE TREE,
DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME.
SAY, “NIGHTY-NIGHT” AND KISS ME.
JUST HOLD ME TIGHT
AND TELL ME YOU’LL MISS ME.
WHILE I’M ALONE AND BLUE AS CAN BE,
DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME.
STARS FADING BUT I LINGER ON, DEAR,
STILL CRAVING YOUR KISS.
I’M LONGING TO LINGER TILL DAWN, DEAR,
JUST SAYING THIS:
SWEET DREAMS TILL SUNBEAMS FIND YOU,
SWEET DREAMS THAT LEAVE
ALL WORRIES BEHIND YOU.
BUT IN YOUR DREAMS, WHATEVER THEY BE,
DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME.

198. ELMER’S TUNE 1941 l
WHY ARE THE STARS ALWAYS
BLINKING AND WINKING ABOVE?
WHAT MAKES A FELLOW START
THINKING OF FALLING IN LOVE?
IT’S NOT THE SEASON, THE REASON
IS PLAIN AS THE MOON:
IT’S JUST ELMER’S TUNE.
WHAT MAKES A LADY OF EIGHTY
GO OUT ON THE LOOSE?
WHY DOES A GANDER MEANDER
IN SEARCH OF A GOOSE?
WHAT PUTS THE KICK IN THE CHICKEN,
THE MAGIC IN JUNE?
IT’S JUST ELMER’S TUNE.
LISTEN, LISTEN. THERE’S A LOT
YOU’RE LIABLE TO BE MISSIN’.
SING IT. SWING IT.
ANY OLD TIME AND ANY OLD WAY.
THE HURDY-GURDY, THE BIRDIE,
THE COP ON THE BEAT.
THE CANDY-MAKER, THE BAKER,
THE MAN ON THE STREET.
THE CITY CHARMER, THE FARMER,
THE MAN IN THE MOON:
IT’S JUST ELMER’S TUNE.
199. EMBRACEABLE YOU 1928 |
EMBRACE ME,
MY SWEET EMBRACEABLE YOU.

THE MANY CHARMS ABOUT YOU.
ABOVE ALL,
I WANT MY ARMS ABOUT YOU.
DON’T BE A NAUGHTY BABY,
COME TO PAPA, COME TO PAPA, DO.

I SHOULD WORRY, NOT FOR NOTHIN’.
EVERYBODY LOVES ME, YES THEY DO!
AND I LOVE EVERYBODY,
SINCE I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU.
WHO’S THE MOST POPULAR PERSONALITY?

GUESS YOU MIGHT CALL ME A POLLYANNA.
REPEAT CHORUS
101. EVERYBODY LOVES
SOMEBODY SOMETIME 1947
EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY SOMETIME.
EVERYBODY FALLS IN LOVE SOMEHOW.
SOMETHING IN YOUR KISS JUST TOLD ME,
MY SOMETIME IS NOW.
EVERYBODY FINDS SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE.
THERE’S NO TELLING
WHERE LOVE MAY APPEAR.
SOMETHING IN MY HEART KEEPS SAYING,
MY SOMEWHERE IS HERE.
IF I HAD IT IN MY POWER,
I’D ARRANGE FOR EVERY BOY
TO HAVE YOUR CHARMS.
THEN EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR,
EVERY GIRL WOULD FIND
WHAT I’VE FOUND IN YOUR ARMS.
EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY SOMETIME.
AND ALTHOUGH MY DREAM IS OVERDUE.
YOUR LOVE MADE IT WELL WORTH WAITING,
FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

THE WHOLE WORLD SAYS, “HELLO,”
EVERYWHERE YOU GO.
1103. EXACTLY LIKE YOU 1930 |
I KNOW WHY I’VE WAITED.
I KNOW WHY I’VE BEEN BLUE.
I PRAYED EACH NIGHT FOR SOMEONE,
EXACTLY LIKE YOU.
WHY SHOULD WE SPEND MONEY,
ON A SHOW OR TWO?
NOONE DOES THOSE LOVE SCENES,
EXACTLY LIKE YOU.
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO GRAND,
I WANT TO HAND THE WORLD TO YOU.
YOU SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
EACH FOOLISH LITTLE SCHEME
I’M SCHEMING, DREAM I’M DREAMING.
NOW I KNOW WHY MOTHER,
TAUGHT ME TO BE TRUE.
SHE MEANT ME FOR SOMEONE,
EXACTLY LIKE YOU.
1104. EYES OF TEXAS 1903 |
THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU,
ALL THE LIVE-LONG DAY.
THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU,
AND YOU CANNOT GET AWAY.
DO NOT THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE THEM,
FROM NIGHT TILL EARLY IN THE MORN.
THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU,
TILL GABRIEL BLOWS HIS HORN.
REPEAT
1105. FASCINATION 1932 |
IT WAS FASCINATION, I KNOW,
AND IT MIGHT HAVE ENDED
RIGHT THERE AT THE START.
JUST A PASSING GLANCE,
JUST A BRIEF ROMANCE,
AND I MIGHT HAVE GONE ON MY WAY
EMPTY-HANDED.
IT WAS FASCINATION, I KNOW,
SEEING YOU ALONE WITH THE
MOONLIGHT ABOVE.
THEN I TOUCHED YOUR HAND
AND NEXT MOMENT I KISSED YOU;
FASCINATION TURNED TO LOVE.
FIRST NOEL, THE 1833
[TRADITIONAL ENGLISH CAROL ]
[LIKELY 16TH OR 17TH CENTURY]
THE FIRST NOEL, THE ANGELS DID SAY,
WAS TO CERTAIN POOR SHEPHERDS
IN FIELDS AS THEY LAY.
IN FIELDS WHERE THEY
LAY KEEPING THEIR SHEEP,
ON A COLD WINTER’S NIGHT
THAT WAS SO DEEP.
CHORUS
NOEL, NOEL, NOEL, NOEL.
BORN IS THE KING OF ISRAEL
THEY LOOKED UP, AND SAW A STAR,
SHINING IN THE EAST,
BEYOND THEM FAR.
AND TO THE EARTH, IT GAVE GREAT LIGHT,
AND SO IT CONTINUED
BOTH DAY AND NIGHT.
REPEAT CHORUS
AND BY THE LIGHT OF THAT SAME STAR
THREE WISE MEN CAME
FROM COUNTRY FAR
TO SEEK FOR A KING WAS THEIR INTENT,
AND TO FOLLOW THE STAR
WHEREVER IT WENT.

TURNED-UP NOSE, TURNED-DOWN HOSE,
A FLAPPER?, YESSIR, ONE OF THOSE.

NOW IF YOU RUN INTO A FIVE FOOT TWO
COVERED IN FUR,

1109. FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE 1966 l
FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE
I HAVE SOMEONE WHO NEEDS ME;
SOMEONE I’VE NEEDED SO LONG.
FOR ONCE, UNAFRAID,
I CAN GO WHERE LIFE LEADS ME;
AND SOMEHOW I KNOW I’LL BE STRONG.
FOR ONCE I CAN TOUCH
WHAT MY HEART USED TO DREAM OF,
LONG BEFORE I KNEW,
SOMEONE WARM LIKE YOU,
WOULD MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE.
FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE
I WON’T LET SORROW HURT ME,
NOT LIKE IT HURT ME BEFORE.
FOR ONCE I HAVE SOMEONE
I KNOW WONT DESERT ME;
I’M NOT ALONE ANY MORE.
FOR ONCE I CAN SAY,
“THIS IS MINE, YOU CAN’T TAKE IT.”
AS LONG AS I KNOW I HAVE LOVE,
I CAN MAKE IT.
FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE
I HAVE SOMEONE WHO NEEDS ME.
1110. FOOLS RUSH IN 1940 |
FOOLS RUSH IN
WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD,
AND SO I COME TO YOU MY LOVE,
MY HEART ABOVE MY HEAD.
THOUGH I SEE THE DANGER THERE,
IF THERE’S A CHANCE FOR ME,
THEN I DON’T CARE.
FOOLS RUSH IN
WHERE WISE MEN NEVER GO,
BUT WISE MEN NEVER FALL IN LOVE,
SO HOW ARE THEY TO KNOW?
WHEN WE MET, I FELT MY LIFE BEGIN,
SO OPEN UP YOUR HEART
AND LET THIS FOOL RUSH IN.
1111. FOR ME AND MY GAL 1917 |
THE BELLS ARE RINGING
FOR ME AND MY GAL.
THE BIRDS ARE SINGING
FOR ME AND MY GAL.
EVERYBODY’S BEEN KNOWIN’,
TO A WEDDING THEY’RE GOIN’,
AND FOR WEEKS THEY’VE BEEN SEWIN’,
EVERY SUZIE AND SAL.
THEY’RE CONGREGATIN’
FOR ME AND BY GAL.
THE PARSON’S WAITING
FOR ME AND MY GAL.
AND SOMEDAY,
I’M GONNA BUILD A LITTLE HOME FOR TWO,
OR THREE, OR FOUR, OR MORE,
IN LOVELAND, FOR ME AND MY GAL.

1114. FROSTY THE SNOWMAN 1950 |
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS A JOLLY HAPPY SOUL,
WITH A CORNCOB PIPE,
AND A BUTTON NOSE,
AND TWO EYES MADE OUT OF COAL.
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
IS A FAIRY TALE, THEY SAY.
HE WAS MADE OF SNOW
BUT THE CHILDREN KNOW
HOW HE CAME TO LIFE ONE DAY.
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME MAGIC IN
THAT OLD SILK HAT THEY FOUND,
FOR WHEN THEY PLACED IT ON HIS HEAD
HE BEGAN TO DANCE AROUND.
OH, FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS ALIVE AS HE COULD BE.
AND THE CHILDREN SAY,
HE COULD LAUGH AND PLAY,
JUST THE SAME AS YOU AND ME.
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
KNEW THE SUN WAS HOT THAT DAY,
SO HE SAID, “LET’S RUN
AND HAVE SOME FUN
NOW BEFORE I MELT AWAY.”
DOWN TO THE VILLAGE,
WITH A BROOMSTICK IN HIS HAND.
RUNNING HERE AND THERE
ALL AROUND THE SQUARE,
SAYING, “CATCH IT IF YOU CAN.”
HE HAULED THEM DOWN
THE STREETS OF TOWN
RIGHT TO THE TRAFFIC COP;
AND HE ONLY PAUSED A MOMENT
WHEN HE HEARD HIM HOLLER, “STOP.”
FOR FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
HAD TO HURRY ON HIS WAY.
BUT HE WAVED GOOD-BYE
SAYING, “DON’T YOU CRY,
I’LL BE BACK AGAIN SOME DAY.”
THUMPETY- THUMP- THUMP,
THUMPETY- THUMP- THUMP
LOOK AT FROSTY GO.
THUMPETY- THUMP- THUMP,
THUMPETY- THUMP- THUMP
OVER THE HILLS OF SNOW.

IF YOU EVER GO ACROSS
THE SEA TO IRELAND, THEN MAYBE
AT THE CLOSING OF YOUR DAY,
YOU WILL SIT AND WATCH THE MOON
RISE OVER CLADDAGH, AND SEE
THE SUN GO DOWN ON GALWAY BAY.
JUST TO HEAR AGAIN THE RIPPLE
OF THE TROUT STREAM,
THE WOMEN IN THE MEADOWS MAKIN’ HAY.
AND TO SIT BESIDE A TURF-FIRE
IN THE CABIN, AND WATCH
THE BAREFOOT GOSSOONS AT THEIR PLAY.
FOR THE BREEZES BLOWIN’
O’ER THE SEA FROM IRELAND,
ARE PERFUMED BY THE HEATHER
AS THEY BLOW.
AND THE WOMEN IN THE UPLANDS
DIGGIN’ PRATIES,
SPEAK A LANGUAGE
THAT THE STRANGERS DO NOT KNOW.
FOR THE STRANGERS CAME
AND TRIED TO TEACH US THEIR WAY.
THEY SCORNED US
JUST FOR BEING WHAT WE ARE.
BUT THEY MIGHT AS WELL
GO CHASING AFTER MOONBEAMS,
OR LIGHT A PENNY CANDLE FROM A STAR.
AND IF THERE’S GOING TO BE
A LIFE HERE-AFTER.
AND SOMEHOW I AM SURE
THERE’S GOING TO BE.
I WILL ASK MY GOD
TO LET ME MAKE MY HEAVEN,
IN THAT DEAR LAND ACROSS THE IRISH SEA.

THE ROAD LEADS BACK TO YOU.

KEEPS GEORGIA ON MY MIND.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU,
GETTING TO KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU,
GETTING TO FEEL FREE AND EASY.
WHEN I AM WITH YOU,
GETTING TO KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
HAVEN’T YOU NOTICED,
SUDDENLY I’M BRIGHT AND BREEZY?
BECAUSE OF ALL THE BEAUTIFUL AND NEW,
THINGS I’M LEARNING ABOUT YOU,
DAY BY DAY.

I CAN’T SEE WHAT YOU’VE GOT TO LOSE.
GIMME A LITTLE SQUEEZE,
WILLYA, HUH?
WHY DO YOU WANT TO MAKE ME BLUE?

|141. HE 1955 |
HE CAN TURN THE TIDES
AND CALM THE ANGRY SEA.
HE ALONE DECIDES
WHO WRITES A SYMPHONY.
HE LIGHTS EVERY STAR
THAT MAKES OUR DARKNESS BRIGHT.
HE KEEPS WATCH ALL THROUGH
EACH LONG AND LONELY NIGHT.
HE STILL FINDS THE TIME
TO HEAR A CHILD’S FIRST PRAYER.
SAINTS AND SINNERS CALL
AND ALWAYS FIND HIM THERE.
THOUGH IT MAKES HIM SAD
TO SEE THE WAY WE LIVE,
HE’LL ALWAYS SAY, “I FORGIVE.”
HE CAN GRANT A WISH
OR MAKE A DREAM COME TRUE.
HE CAN PAINT THE CLOUDS
AND TURN THE GRAY TO BLUE.
HE ALONE KNOWS WHERE
TO FIND A RAINBOWS END.
HE ALONE CAN SEE
WHAT LIES BEYOND THE BEND.
HE CAN TOUCH A TREE
AND TURN THE LEAVES TO GOLD.
HE KNOWS EVERY LIE
THAT YOU AND I HAVE TOLD.
THOUGH IT MAKES HIM SAD
TO SEE THE WAY WE LIVE,
HE’LL ALWAYS SAY, “I FORGIVE.”

AND TUMBLED OVERBOARD, GLADLY,
THAT MAGIC NIGHT WE KISSED
THERE IN THE MOON MIST.
OH, BUT YOUR LIPS WERE THRILLING,
MUCH TOO THRILLING.
NEVER BEFORE WERE MINE
SO STRANGELY WILLING.
BUT NOW I SEE,
WHAT ONE EMBRACE CAN DO. LOOK AT ME!
IT’S GOT ME LOVING YOU, MADLY.
THAT LITTLE KISS YOU STOLE,
HELD ALL MY HEART AND SOUL.

HEART OF MY HEART,
I LOVE THAT MELODY.

BRINGS BACK A MEMORY.
WHEN WE WERE KIDS
ON THE CORNER OF THE STREET.
WE WERE ROUGH AND READY GUYS,
BUT OH HOW WE COULD HARMONIZE.
HEART OF MY HEART,
MEANT FRIENDS WERE DEARER THEN.
TOO BAD WE HAD TO PART.
I KNOW A TEAR WOULD GLISTEN,
IF ONLY I COULD LISTEN,
TO THAT GANG THAT SANG
HEART OF MY HEART.

HE DOESN’T HOLLAR, HE’D LIVE IN A TENT.
I’VE GOT THAT MAN CRAZY FOR ME,
HE’S FUNNY THAT WAY.
THOUGH HE LOVES TO WORK AND SLAVE
FOR ME EVERY DAY.
HE’D BE SO MUCH BETTER OFF IF I WENT AWAY.
BUT WHY SHOULD I LEAVE HIM?
WHY SHOULD I GO?
HE’D BE UNHAPPY WITHOUT ME, I KNOW.
I’VE GOT THAT MAN MAD ABOUT ME,
HE’S FUNNY THAT WAY.
I CAN SEE NO OTHER WAY
AND NO BETTER PLAN.
END IT ALL AND LET HIM GO
TO SOME OTHER GIRL.
BUT I’M ONLY HUMAN, A COWARD AT BEST.
I’M MORE THAN CERTAIN,
HE’D FOLLOW ME WEST.

HE’S FUNNY THAT WAY.

I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE.
I BELIEVE ABOVE THE STORM
THE SMALLEST PRAYER,

I BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE
IN THE GREAT SOMEWHERE,
HEARS EVERY WORD.
EVERY TIME I HEAR
A NEW-BORN BABY CRY,
OR TOUCH A LEAF, OR SEE THE SKY,
THEN I KNOW WHY I BELIEVE.
1159. I CAN T BEGIN TO TELL YOU 19451

HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME.

LIKE OTHERS DO.
I MAKE SUCH PRETTY SPEECHES,
WHENEVER WE’RE APART.

THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN,
AND MAKE BELIEVE I’VE SAID

ACROSS THE OCEAN WILD AND WIDE.
TO WHERE YOUR HEART HAS EVER BEEN,
SINCE FIRST YOU WERE MY BONNIE BRIDE.
THE ROSES ALL HAVE LEFT YOUR CHEEK.
I’VE WATCHED THEM FADE AWAY AND DIE.
YOUR VOICE IS SAD
WHEN E’ER YOU SPEAK,
AND TEARS BEDIM YOUR LOVING EYES.
OH, I WILL TAKE YOU BACK AGAIN,
TO WHERE YOUR HEART
WILL FEEL NO PAIN.
AND WHEN THE FIELDS
ARE FRESH AND GREEN;
I WILL TAKE YOU
TO YOUR HOME AGAIN, KATHLEEN.
1180. I’LL WALK ALONE 1944 |
I’LL WALK ALONE, BECAUSE TO TELL YOU
THE TRUTH I’LL BE LONELY.
I DON’T MIND BEING LONELY,
WHEN MY HEART TELLS ME YOU,
ARE LONELY TOO.
I’LL WALK ALONE. THEY’LL ASK ME WHY
AND I’LL TELL THEM I’D RATHER.
THERE ARE DREAMS I MUST GATHER;
DREAMS WE FASHIONED THE NIGHT
YOU HELD ME TIGHT.
I’LL ALWAYS BE NEAR YOU,
WHEREVER YOU ARE,
EACH NIGHT IN EVERY PRAYER.
IF YOU CALL, I’LL HEAR YOU,
NO MATTER HOW FAR.
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES,
AND I’LL BE THERE.
PLEASE WALK ALONE
AND SEND YOUR LOVE
AND YOUR KISSES TO GUIDE ME.
TILL YOU’RE WALKING BESIDE ME,
I’LL WALK ALONE.

Page 40
1944 |
I LOVE YOU, HUMS AN APRIL BREEZE.
I LOVE YOU, ECHO THE HILLS.
I LOVE YOU, THE GOLDEN DAWN AGREES
AS ONCE MORE SHE SEES DAFFODILS.
IT’S SPRING AGAIN,
AND BIRDS ON THE WING AGAIN,
START TO SING AGAIN
THE OLD MELODIES.
I LOVE YOU, THAT’S THE SONG OF SONGS,
AND IT ALL BELONGS TO YOU AND ME.
182. I’M ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS
1917
I’M ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS,
WATCHING CLOUDS DRIFTING BY.
MY SCHEMES ARE
JUST LIKE ALL MY DREAMS,
ENDING IN THE SKY.
SOME FELLOWS LOOK
AND FIND THE SUNSHINE.
I ALWAYS LOOK AND FIND THE RAIN. .
SOME FELLOWS MAKE
A WINNING SOMETIME.
I NEVER EVEN MAKE A GAIN, BELIEVE ME.
I’M ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS,
WAITING TO FIND
A LITTLE BLUEBIRD IN VAIN.
183. I’M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES
1918
I’M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES,
PRETTY BUBBLES IN THE AIR.
THEY FLY SO HIGH,
NEARLY REACH THE SKY.
THEN LIKE MY DREAMS
THEY FADE AND DIE.
FORTUNES ALWAYS HIDING.
I’VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE.
I’M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES,
PRETTY BUBBLES IN THE AIR.
184. I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND
WRITE MYSELF A LETTER 1935
I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN
AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER,
AND MAKE BELIEVE IT CAME FROM YOU.
I’M GONNA WRITE WORDS OH SO SWEET,
THEY’RE GONNA KNOCK ME OFF MY FEET.
A LOT OF KISSES AT THE BOTTOM;
I’LL BE GLAD I GOT‘EM.
I’M GONNA SMILE AND SAY,
“I HOPE YOU’RE FEELING BETTER,”
AND CLOSE WITH “LOVE” THE WAY YOU DO.
I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN
AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER,
AND MAKE BELIEVE IT CAME FROM YOU.
1185. I’M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE 1935 |
I’M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE,
SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU’RE NEAR ME.
FUNNY, BUT WHEN YOU’RE NEAR ME,
I’M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE.
HEAVEN IS IN YOUR EYES,
BRIGHT AS THE STARS WE’RE UNDER.
OH, IS IT ANY WONDER,
I’M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE?
WHY STOP TO THINK OF WHETHER,
THIS LITTLE DREAM MIGHT FADE?
WE’VE PUT OUR HEARTS TOGETHER.
NOW WE ARE ONE; I’M NOT AFRAID.
IF THERE’S A CLOUD ABOVE.
IF IT SHOULD RAIN, WE’LL LET IT.
BUT FOR TONIGHT, FORGET IT.
I’M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE.
1186. I’M JUST WILD ABOUT HARRY 1921 1
I’M JUST WILD ABOUT HARRY,
AND HARRY’S WILD ABOUT ME.
THE TENDER BLISSES OF HIS KISSES
FILL ME WITH ECTASY.
HE’S SWEET JUST LIKE
CHOCOLATE CANDY,
AND JUST LIKE HONEY FROM A BEE.
OH, I’M JUST WILD ABOUT HARRY,
AND HARRY’S WILD ABOUT ME.

I’LL BE WITH YOU
IN APPLE BLOSSOM TIME.
I’LL BE WITH YOU
TO CHANGE YOUR NAME TO MINE.
ONE DAY IN MAY,
I’LL COME AND SAY,
“HAPPY THE BRIDE
THE SUN SHINES ON TODAY.”
WHAT A WONDERFUL
WEDDING THERE WILL BE.
WHAT A WONDERFUL
DAY FOR YOU AND ME.
CHURCH BELLS WILL CHIME,
YOU WILL BE MINE,
IN APPLE BLOSSOM TIME.
188. IN A SHANTY
IN OLD SHANTY TOWN
________ 1932
ITS ONLY A SHANTY
IN OLD SHANTY TOWN.
THE ROOF IS SO SLANTY,
IT TOUCHES THE GROUND.
IT’S A TUMBLED-DOWN SHACK,
BY THE OLD RAILROAD TRACK,
BUT LIKE A MILLIONAIRE’S MANSION,
IT’S CALLING ME BACK.
I’D GIVE UP A PALACE,
IF I WERE A KING.
ITS MORE THAN A PALACE,
ITS MY EVERYTHING.
THERE’S A QUEEN WAITING THERE
WITH A SILVERY CROWN,
IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTY TOWN.
|189. INDIANA 1917 |
BACK HOME AGAIN IN INDIANA,
AND IT SEEMS THAT I CAN SEE
THE GLEAMING CANDLE LIGHT,
STILL SHINING BRIGHT,
THROUGH THE SYCAMORES FOR ME.
190. IN FLANDERS FIELDS
WORDS ■-1915 MUSIC – 1917
IN FLANDERS FIELDS THE POPPIES BLOW
BETWEEN THE CROSSES, ROW ON ROW,
THAT MARK OUR PLACE; AND IN THE SKY
THE LARKS, STILL BRAVELY SINGING, FLY
SCARCE HEARD AMID THE GUNS BELOW.
WE ARE THE DEAD. SHORT DAYS AGO
WE LIVED, FELT DAWN, SAW SUNSET GLOW,
LOVED AND WERE LOVED,
AND NOW WE LIE IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
TAKE UP OUR QUARREL WITH THE FOE:
TO YOU FROM FAILING HANDS WE THROW
THE TORCH; BE YOURS TO HOLD IT HIGH.
IF YE BREAK FAITH WITH US WHO DIE,
WE SHALL NOT SLEEP,
THOUGH POPPIES GROW
IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
1191. IN MY MERRY OLDSMOBILE 1905 l
COME AWAY WITH ME, LUCILLE,
IN MY MERRY OLDSMOBILE.
DOWN THE ROAD OF LIFE WE’LL FLY,
AUTOMOBILING YOU AND I.

THEN OUR WEDDING BELLS WILL PEAL.
YOU CAN GO AS FAR AS YOU LIKE WITH ME,
IN MY MERRY OLDSMOBILE.
192. IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME
_________________________________1902
IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME.
IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME.
STROLLING THROUGH THE SHADY LANES
WITH YOUR BABY MINE.
YOU HOLD HER HAND,
AND SHE HOLDS YOURS,
AND THAT’S A VERY GOOD SIGN,
THAT SHE’S YOUR TOOTSIE- WOOTSIE
IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME.
THE NEW-MOWN HAY
SENDS ALL IT’S FRAGRANCE
FROM THE FIELDS I USED TO ROAM.
WHEN I DREAM ABOUT
THE MOONLIGHT ON THE WABASH,
THEN I LONG FOR MY INDIANA HOME.

193. IN THE SHADE OF
THE OLD APPLE TREE 1905
IN THE SHADE OF THE OLD APPLE TREE,
WHERE THE LOVE IN YOUR EYES
I COULD SEE.
WHEN THE VOICE THAT I HEARD,
LIKE THE SONG OF A BIRD,
SEEMED TO WHISPER
SWEET MUSIC TO ME.
I COULD HEAR
THE DULL BUZZ OF THE BEE,
IN THE BLOSSOMS AS YOU SAID TO ME,
“WITH A HEART THAT IS TRUE,
I’LL BE WAITING FOR YOU,
IN THE SHADE OF THE OLD APPLE TREE.”
1194. I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU 1934 |
ARE THE STARS OUT TONIGHT?
I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S CLOUDY OR BRIGHT,
‘CAUSE I ONLY HAVE EYES
FOR YOU, DEAR.
THE MOON MAY BE HIGH,
BUT I CANT SEE A THING IN THE SKY,
‘CAUSE I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU.
I DON’T KNOW IF WE’RE IN A GARDEN
OR ON A CROWDED AVENUE.
YOU ARE HERE, SO AM I.
MAYBE MILLLIONS OF PEOPLE GO BY,
BUT THEY ALL DISAPPEAR FROM VIEW,
AND I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU.
195. IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
WORDS -■ 1849 MUSIC -■ 1850
IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR,
THAT GLORIOUS SONG OF OLD,
FROM ANGELS BENDING NEAR THE EARTH,
TO TOUCH THEIR HARPS OF GOLD.
“PEACE ON THE EARTH,
GOOD WILL TO MEN
FROM HEAVEN’S MOST GRACIOUS KING.”
THE WORLD IN SOLEMN STILLNESS LAY
TO HEAR THE ANGELS SING.
STILL THROUGH THE CLOVEN SKIES
THEY COME,
WITH PEACEFUL WINGS UNFURLED.
AND STILL THEIR HEAVENLY MUSIC FLOATS
O’ER ALL THE WEARY WORLD.
ABOVE IT’S SAD AND LOWLY PLAINS,
THEY BEND ON HOV’RING WING.
AND EVER O’ER ITS BABEL SOUNDS,
THE BLESSED ANGELS SING.
1196. ISLE OF CAPRI 1934 |
‘TWAS ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI
THAT I FOUND HER,
BENEATH THE SHADE OF
AN OLD WALNUT TREE.
OH, I CAN STILL SEE THE FLOWERS
BLOOMING’ROUND HER,
WHERE WE MET ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI.
SHE WAS AS SWEET AS A ROSE
AT THE DAWNING.
BUT SOMEHOW FATE HADN’T
MEANT HER FOR ME.
AND THOUGH I SAILED WITH THE TIDE
IN THE MORNING,
STILL MY HEART’S ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI.
SUMMERTIME WAS NEARLY OVER,
BLUE ITALIAN SKY ABOVE.
I SAID, “LADY I’M A ROVER,
CAN YOU SPARE A SWEET WORD OF LOVE?”
SHE WHISPERED SOFTLY,
“IT’S BEST NOT TO LINGER.”
AND THEN AS I KISSED HER HAND
I COULD SEE.
SHE WORE A PLAIN GOLDEN RING
ON HER FINGER.
‘TWAS GOODBYE ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI.

1197. IT HAD TO BE YOU 1924 |
IT HAD TO BE YOU. IT HAD TO BE YOU.
I WANDERED AROUND,
FINALLY FOUND, SOMEBODY WHO
COULD MAKE ME BE TRUE,
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.
NOBODY ELSE GIVES ME A THRILL.
WITH ALL YOUR FAULTS, I LOVE YOU STILL.
IT HAD TO BE YOU, WONDERFUL YOU,
IT HAD TO BE YOU.
1198. IT IS NO SECRET 1951 |
THE CHIMES OF TIME RING OUT THE NEWS
ANOTHER DAY IS THROUGH.
SOMEONE SLIPPED AND FELL;
WAS THAT SOMEONE YOU?
YOU MAY HAVE LONGED FOR
ADDED STRENGTH
YOUR COURAGE TO RENEW.
DO NOT BE DISHEARTENED,
FOR I BRING HOPE TO YOU.
IT IS NO SECRET WHAT GOD CAN DO.
WHAT HE’S DONE FOR OTHERS,
HE’LL DO FOR YOU.
WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN,
HE’LL PARDON YOU.
IT IS NO SECRET WHAT GOD CAN DO.
1199. IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING 1945 |
I’M AS RESTLESS AS A WILLOW
IN A WINDSTORM.
I’M AS JUMPY AS A PUPPET ON A STRING.
I’D SAY THAT I HAD SPRING FEVER,
BUT I KNOW IT ISN’T SPRING.
I’M AS STARRY-EYED AND
VAGUELY DISCONTENTED,
LIKE A NIGHTINGALE
WITHOUT A SONG TO SING.
OH, WHY SHOULD I HAVE SPRING FEVER,
WHEN IT ISN’T EVEN SPRING?
I KEEP WISHING I WERE SOMEWHERE ELSE,
WALKING DOWN A STRANGE NEW STREET.
HEARING WORDS I HAVE NEVER HEARD,
FROM A MAN I’VE YET TO MEET.
I’M AS BUSY AS A SPIDER
SPINNING DAYDREAMS.
I’M AS GIDDY AS A BABY ON A SWING.
I HAVEN’T SEEN A CROCUS OR A ROSEBUD,
OR A ROBIN ON THE WING,
BUT I FEEL SO GAY IN A MELANCHOLY WAY,
THAT IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING.
IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING.
1200. IT’S A GOOD DAY 1946 |
YES, IT’S A GOOD DAY FOR SINGING A SONG.
AND IT’S A GOOD DAY FOR MOVIN’ ALONG.
YES, IT’S A GOOD DAY,
HOW COULD ANYTHING GO WRONG?
A GOOD DAY FROM MORNIN’ TILL NIGHT.
YES, IT’S A GOOD DAY
FOR SHININ’ YOUR SHOES,
AND IT’S A GOOD DAY FOR LOSIN’ THE BLUES.
EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHIN’ TO LOSE,
A GOOD DAY FROM MORNIN’ TILL NIGHT.
I SAID TO THE SUN, “GOOD MORNING SUN,
RISE AND SHINE TODAY.”
YOU KNOW YA GOTTA GET A-GOIN’
IF YOU’RE GONNA MAKE A SHOWIN’ AND
YOU KNOW YOU’VE GOT THE RIGHT OF WAY.
‘CAUSE IT’S A GOOD DAY
FOR PAYIN’ YOUR BILLS.
AND IT’S A GOOD DAY FOR CURIN’ YOUR ILLS.
SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND
THROW AWAY YOUR PILLS,
‘CAUSE IT’S A GOOD DAY
FROM MORNIN’ TILL NIGHT.

201. IT’S A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING
1945
MAYBE IT’S MORE THAN THE MOON.
MAYBE IT’S MORE THAN THE BIRDS.
MAYBE IT’S MORE
THAN SIGHT OF THE NIGHT,
IN A LIGHT TOO LOVELY FOR WORDS.
MAYBE IT’S MORE THAN THE EARTH,
SHINY IN SILVERY BLUE.
MAYBE THE REASON I’M FEELING THIS WAY
HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOU.
IT’S A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING;
THE MOON IS FLYING HIGH.
AND SOMEWHERE A BIRD
WHO IS BOUND HE’LL BE HEARD
IS THROWING HIS HEART AT THE SKY.
IT’S A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING;
THE STARS ARE BRIGHT ABOVE.
THE EARTH IS AGLOW
AND TO ADD TO THE SHOW
I THINK I AM FALLING IN LOVE;
FALLING, FALLING IN LOVE.
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,

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.

__________________________________ 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.

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

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.

HIS BLESSINGS FLOW,

FAR AS THE CURSE IS FOUND,
FAR AS, FAR AS, THE CURSE IS FOUND.

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.”
REPEAT CHORUS
1223. KING OF THE ROAD 1964 |
CHORUS
TRAILER FOR SALE OR RENT.
ROOMS TO LET FIFTY CENTS.
NO PHONE NO POOL NO PETS.
I AIN’T GOT NO CIGARETTES.
AH BUT TWO HOURS OF PUSHIN’ BROOM,
BUYS AN EIGHT BY TWELVE
FOUR-BIT ROOM.
I’M A MAN OF MEANS BY NO MEANS,
KING OF THE ROAD.
THIRD BOXCAR MIDNIGHT TRAIN.
DESTINATION BANGOR, MAINE.
OLD WORN OUT SUIT AND SHOES.
I DON’T PAY NO UNION DUES.
I SMOKE OLD STOGIES I HAVE FOUND;
SHORT BUT NOT TOO BIG AROUND.
I’M A MAN OF MEANS BY NO MEANS,
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.

1225. K-K-K-KATY 1917 |
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
AT THE K- K- K- KITCHEN DOOR.

DAYS OF SUMMER 1963
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,
AS CUTE AS EVER
BUT THEY NEVER GET ’EM WET.
CHORUS #2
ROLL OUT THOSE LAZY, HAZY,
CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER.
THOSE DAYS OF SODA & PRETZELS & BEER.

CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER.
YOU’LL WISH THAT SUMMER
COULD ALWAYS BE HERE.
REPEAT CHORUS #1
DON’T HAFTA TELL A GIRL
AND FELLA ABOUT A DRIVE-IN,
OR SOME ROMANTIC MOVIE SCENE.
RIGHT FROM THE MOMENT THAT THOSE
LOVERS START ARRIVIN’,
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
1910
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.____________
232. LILI MARLENE

THE WAY YOU USED TO WAIT.
‘TWAS THERE THAT YOU WHISPERED
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.
DARLING, I’D CARESS YOU
AND PRESS YOU TO MY HEART.
AND THERE BENEATH
THAT FAR- OFF LANTERN LIGHT,
I’D HOLD YOU TIGHT,
WE’D KISS GOOD NIGHT,
MY LILI OF THE LAMPLIGHT
MY OWN LILI MARLENE.
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 |
THERE’S A CHURCH IN THE VALLEY
BY THE WILDWOOD.
NO LOVELIER PLACE IN THE DALE.
NO SPOT IS SO DEAR TO MY CHILDHOOD,
AS THE LITTLE BROWN CHURCH
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,
AS THE LITTLE BROWN CHURCH
IN THE DALE.
HOW SWEET ON A BRIGHT
SUNDAY MORNING,
TO LIST TO THE CLEAR RINGING BELL.
IT’S TONES SO SWEETLY ARE CALLING,
OH, COME TO THE CHURCH IN THE VALE.

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.
CHORUS
WEARY TOTING SUCH A LOAD,
TRUDGING DOWN THAT LONESOME ROAD.
LOOK DOWN, LOOK DOWN
THAT LONESOME ROAD
BEFORE YOU TRAVEL ON.
TRUE LOVE, TRUE LOVE,
WHAT HAVE I DONE
THAT YOU SHOULD TREAT ME SO?
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.

1240. LOVE AND MARRIAGE 1955 |
CHORUS #1
LOVE AND MARRIAGE, LOVE AND MARRIAGE,
GO TOGETHER LIKE A HORSE & CARRIAGE.
THIS I TELL YOU BROTHER,
YOU CANT HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.
LOVE AND MARRIAGE, LOVE AND MARRIAGE,
IT’S AN INSTITUTE YOU CANT DISPARAGE.
ASK THE LOCAL GENTRY,
AND THEY WILL SAY IT’S ELEMENTARY.
TRY, TRY, TRY TO SEPARATE THEM;
IT’S AN ILLUSION.
TRY, TRY, TRY AND YOU WILL ONLY
COME TO THIS CONCLUSION.
CHORUS #2
LOVE AND MARRIAGE, LOVE AND MARRIAGE,
GO TOGETHER LIKE A HORSE & CARRIAGE.

IT’S AN ILLUSION.
TRY, TRY, TRY, AND YOU WILL ONLY
COME TO THIS CONCLUSION.
REPEAT CHORUS #2
241. LOVE IS A
MANY-SPLENDORED THING 1955
LOVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING.
IT’S THE APRIL ROSE THAT ONLY GROWS
IN THE EARLY SPRING.
LOVE IS NATURE’S WAY OF GIVING
A REASON TO BE LIVING;
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.

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.

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.

YOUR LIPS AND MINE,
TWO SIPS OF WINE;

ONE HOUSE WHERE LOVERS DWELL .
THREE LITTLE KIDS FOR FLAVOR.
STIR CAREFULLY THROUGH THE DAYS.

HUSH-A- BYE MY BABY,

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,

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.

1266. MOCKINGBIRD HILL 1951 |
WHEN THE SUN IN THE MORNING
PEEPS OVER THE HILL,
AND KISSES THE ROSES
’ROUND MY WINDOW SILL.
THEN MY HEART FILLS WITH GLADNESS
WHEN I HEAR THE TRILL,
OF THE BIRDS IN THE TREETOPS
ON MOCKINGBIRD HILL
TRA- LA- LATWIDDLY- DEE- DEE,
IT GIVES ME A THRILL,
TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING

1267. MOON OVER MIAMI 1935 l
MOON OVER MIAMI,
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
OF THE SMILING TROUBADOURS.
HARK TO THE THROBBING GUITARS.
HEAR HOW THE WAVES
OFFER THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE,
AFTER EACH SONG TO THE STARS.
MOON OVER MIAMI,
YOU KNOW WE’RE WAITING FOR,
A LITTLE LOVE, A LITTLE KISS,
ON MIAMI SHORE.
1268. MOONRIVER 1961 |
MOON RIVER, WIDER THAN A MILE,

THERE’S SUCH A LOT OF WORLD TO SEE.
WE’RE AFTER THE SAME RAINBOW’S END,
WAITING ‘ROUND THE BEND,
MY HUCKLEBERRY FRIEND,
MOON RIVER AND ME.

1270. MOONLIGHT BAY 1912 |
WE WERE SAILING ALONG
ON MOONLIGHT BAY.
WE COULD HEAR THE VOICES SINGING,
THEY SEEMED TO SAY:
“YOU HAVE STOLEN MY HEART.
NOW DON’T GO AWAY.”
AS WE SANG LOVE’S OLD SWEET SONG
ON MOONLIGHT BAY.
1271. MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU 1942 |
MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU,
IT GOES WITH YOUR HAIR.
YOU CERTAINLY KNOW
THE RIGHT THING TO WEAR.
MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU,
I’M THRILLED AT THE SIGHT,
AND I COULD GET SO ROMANTIC TONIGHT.
YOU’RE ALL DRESSED UP TO GO DREAMING;
NOW DON’T TELL ME I’M WRONG.
AND WHAT A NIGHT TO GO DREAMING;
MIND IF I TAG ALONG?
IF I SAY I LOVE YOU, I WANT YOU TO KNOW,
IT’S NOT JUST BECAUSE
THERE’S MOONLIGHT, ALTHOUGH,
MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU SO.
1272. MY BUDDY 1922 |
NIGHTS ARE LONG SINCE YOU WENT AWAY.
I THINK ABOUT YOU
ALL THROUGH THE DAY.

I LONG TO KNOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
MY BUDDY, MY BUDDY,
YOUR BUDDY MISSES YOU.

PENNIES IN A STREAM,
FALLING LEAVES, A SYCAMORE —
MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT.
GENTLE FINGER WAVES
SKI TRAILS ON A MOUNTAINSIDE —
MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT.
TELEGRAPH CABLES HOW THEY SING
DOWN THE HIGHWAY
AS THEY TRAVEL EACH BEND IN THE ROAD.
AND WHEN PEOPLE MEET
IN THIS ROMANTIC SETTING
THEY’RE HYPNOTIZED BY THE LOVELYEVENING
SUMMER BREEZE,
SWEET WARBLINGS OF THE MEADOWLARK
— MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT.

CAN ONLY BE YOU.
MY ARMS WONT FREE YOU;
MY HEART WONT TRY.
1276. MORE THAN YOU KNOW 1929 |
MORE THAN YOU KNOW,
MORE THAN YOU KNOW,
MAN OF MY HEART I LOVE YOU SO.
LATELY I FIND, YOU’RE ON MY MIND,

WHETHER YOU’RE WRONG,
MAN OF MY HEART I’LL STRING ALONG.
I NEED YOU SO,
MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER KNOW.
LOVING YOU THE WAY THAT I DO,
THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
LOVING MAY BE ALL YOU CAN GIVE,

MORE THAN YOU’D EVER KNOW.

1280. MY ADOBE HACIENDA 1941 |
IN MY ADOBE HACIENDA,
THERE’S A TOUCH OF MEXICO.
CACTUS LOVELIER THAN ORCHIDS,
BLOOMING IN THE PATIO.
SOFT DESERT STARS AND
THE STRUM OF GUITARS
MAKE EVERY EVENING SEEM SO SWEET.
IN MY ADOBE HACIENDA,
LIFE AND LOVE ARE MORE COMPLETE.
1281. MY BLUE HEAVEN 1927 |
WHEN WHIP-POOR-WILLS CALL,
AND EVENING IS NIGH,
I HURRY TO MY BLUE HEAVEN.
A TURN TO THE RIGHT,
A LITTLE WHITE LIGHT,
WILL LEAD YOU TO MY BLUE HEAVEN.
YOU’LL SEE A SMILING FACE,
A FIREPLACE, A COZY ROOM;
A LITTLE NEST THAT’S NESTLED
WHERE THE ROSES BLOOM.
JUST MOLLY AND ME,
AND BABY MAKES THREE,
SO HAPPY ARE WE IN MY BLUE HEAVEN.
282. MY DREAMS ARE GETTING BETTER
ALL THE TIME________________1945
WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW
SHE SMILED AT ME
IN MY DREAMS LAST NIGHT.
MY DREAMS ARE GETTING
BETTER ALL THE TIME.
AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW
SHE LOOKED AT ME
IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.
MY DREAMS ARE GETTING
BETTER ALL THE TIME.
TO THINK THAT WE WERE STRANGERS
A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO.
AND THOUGH IT’S A DREAM
I NEVER DREAMED
SHE’D EVER SAY HELLO.
OH, MAYBE TONIGHT I’LL HOLD HER TIGHT
WHEN THE MOON BEAMS SHINE.
MY DREAMS ARE GETTING
BETTER ALL THE TIME.
1283. MY FAVORITE THINGS 1959 |
RAINDROPS ON ROSES
AND WHISKERS ON KITTENS.
BRIGHT COPPER KETTLES
AND WARM WOOLEN MITTENS.
BROWN PAPER PACKAGES
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 |
THEY CALLED HER FRIVOLOUS SAL,
A PECULIAR SORT OF A GAL.
WITH A HEART THAT WAS MELLOW,
AN ALL ‘ROUND GOOD FELLOW
WAS MY OLD PAL.
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.

1290. NEVERTHELESS 1931 |
MAYBE I’M RIGHT AND MAYBE I’M WRONG.
MAYBE I’M WEAK AND MAYBE I’M STRONG.
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,
OH, THEN REMEMBER ME.
WHEN YOU RETURN
YOU’LL FIND ME WAITING HERE.
293. OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION, THE _1934
CHORUS
THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION
CAN CHANGE MY COMPLEXION
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,
’CAUSE SHE’S NOT THE KIND
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.
REPEAT CHORUS
1294. OH COME ALL YE FAITHFUL 1743 |
OH COME ALL YE FAITHFUL,
JOYFUL AND TRIUMPHANT,
OH COME YE, OH COME YE,

COME AND BEHOLD HIM,
BORN THE KING OF ANGELS,

OH COME LET US ADORE HIM.
OH COME LET US ADORE HIM.
OH COME LET US ADORE HIM,
CHRIST THE LORD.
SING CHOIRS OF ANGELS,

OH HOLY NIGHT,
THE STARS ARE BRIGHTLY SHINING.
IT IS THE NIGHT
OF OUR DEAR SAVIOR’S BIRTH.
LONG LAY THE WORLD
IN SIN AND ERROR PINING,
TILL HE APPEARED
AND THE SOUL FELT IT’S WORTH.
A THRILL OF HOPE
THE WEARY WORLD REJOICES,
FOR YONDER BREAKS
A NEW AND GLORIOUS MORN.
FALL ON YOUR KNEES,
OH HEAR THE ANGEL VOICES!
OH NIGHT DIVINE.
OH NIGHT WHEN CHRIST WAS BORN;
OH NIGHT DIVINE.
OH NIGHT, OH NIGHT DIVINE.
LED BY THE LIGHT
OF FAITH SERENELY BEAMING,
WITH GLOWING HEARTS
BY HIS CRADLE WE STAND.
SO LED BY THE LIGHT
OF A STAR SWEETLY GLEAMING,
HERE COME THE WISE MEN
FROM THE ORIENT LAND.
THE KING OF KINGS
LAY THUS IN LOWLY MANGER.
IN ALL OUR TRIALS,
BORN TO BE OUR FRIEND.
HE KNOWS OUR NEED,
TO OUR WEAKNESS IS NO STRANGER.
BEHOLD YOUR KING!
BEFORE HIM LOWLY BEND.
BEHOLD YOUR KING!
BEFORE HIM LOWLY BEND.
296. OH, HOW I HATE TO
GET UP IN THE MORNING 1918
I’VE BEEN A SOLDIER QUITE A WHILE
AND I WOULD LIKE TO STATE,
THE LIFE IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL,
THE ARMY FOOD IS GREAT.
I SLEEP WITH NINETY-SEVEN OTHERS
IN A WOODEN HUT.
I LOVE THEM ALL. THEY ALL LOVE ME.
IT’S VERY LOVELY, BUT —
CHORUS
OH, HOW I HATE TO GET UP
IN THE MORNING.
OH, HOW I’D LOVE TO REMAIN IN BED.
FOR THE HARDEST BLOW OF ALL
IS TO HEAR THE BUGLER CALL,
“YA GOTTA GET UP, YA GOTTA GET UP,
YA GOTTA GET UP THIS MORNING.”
SOMEDAY I’M GOING TO
MURDER THE BUGLER;
SOMEDAY THEY’RE GOING
TO FIND HIM DEAD.
I’LL AMPUTATE HIS REVILLE,
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,
THE GUY WHO WAKES THE BUGLER UP,
AND SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE IN BED.
1297. OH! JOHNNY 1917 |
OH! JOHNNY, OH! JOHNNY,
HOW YOU CAN LOVE!
OH! JOHNNY, OH! JOHNNY,

YOU MAKE MY SAD HEART
JUMP WITH JOY.
AND WHEN YOU’RE NEAR
I JUST CANT, SIT STILL A MINUTE, I’M SO —
OH! JOHNNY, OH! JOHNNY,
PLEASE TELL ME DEAR
WHAT MAKES ME LOVE YOU SO?
YOU’RE NOT HANDSOME, IT’S TRUE,
BUT WHEN I LOOK AT YOU,
I JUST, OH! JOHNNY, OH! JOHNNY, OOOH!
1298. OH, LADY BE GOOD 1924 |
OH, SWEET AND LOVELY LADY BE GOOD,

BABE IN THE WOOD,

Page 64
OH, LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
HOW STILL WE SEE THEE LIE.
ABOVE THY DEEP AND DREAMLESS SLEEP,
THE SILENT STARS GO BY.
YET IN THY DARK STREETS SHINETH
AN EVERLASTING LIGHT.
THE HOPES AND FEARS OF ALL THE YEARS
ARE MET IN THEE TONIGHT.
FOR CHRIST IS BORN OF MARY.
AND GATHERED ALL AROUND
WHILE MORTALS SLEEP,
THE ANGELS KEEP,
THEIR WATCH OF WONDERING LOVE.
OH, MORNING STARS TOGETHER
PROCLAIM THE HOLY BIRTH.
AND PRAISES SING TO GOD THE KING,
AND PEACE TO MEN ON EARTH.
1300. OH, LONESOME ME 1957 |
EVERYBODY’S GOIN’ OUT, AND HAVIN’ FUN.
I’M A FOOL FOR STAYING HOME
AND HAVIN’ NONE.
I CANT GET OVER HOW SHE SET ME FREE.
OH, LONESOME ME.
A BAD MISTAKE I’M MAKING,
BY JUST HANGIN’ ‘ROUND.
I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE SOME FUN
AND PAINT THE TOWN.
A LOVESICK FOOL IS BLIND
AND JUST CANT SEE.
OH, LONESOME ME.
I’LL BET SHE’S NOT LIKE ME.
SHE’S OUT AND FANCY FREE.
FLIRTING WITH THE BOYS
WITH ALL HER CHARMS.
BUT I STILL LOVE HER SO,
AND BROTHER, DON’T YOU KNOW,
I’D WELCOME HER RIGHT BACK
HERE IN MY ARMS.
THERE MUST BE SOME WAY I CAN LOSE
THESE LONESOME BLUES.
FORGET ABOUT THE PAST
AND FIND SOMEONE NEW. I’VE THOUGHT OF
EVERYTHING FROM A TO Z .
OH, LONESOME ME.
OH LONESOME ME.
|301. OH, SUSANNA 1848 |
I’VE COME FROM ALABAMA
WITH MY BANJO ON MY KNEE.
I’M GOING TO LOUISIANA

AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S CLIMBING
CLEAR UP TO THE SKY.
CHORUS
OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
I’VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL FEELING
EVERYTHING’S GOING MY WAY.
ALL THE CATTLE ARE STANDING
LIKE STATUES.
ALL THE CATTLE ARE STANDING
LIKE STATUES.
THEY DON’T TURN THEIR HEADS
AS THEY SEE ME RIDE BY.
BUT A LITTLE BROWN MAVERICK
IS WINKIN’ HER EYE.
REPEAT CHORUS
ALL THE SOUNDS OF THE EARTH
ARE LIKE MUSIC.
ALL THE SOUNDS OF THE EARTH

1304. OLD LAMP LIGHTER 1946 |
HE MADE THE NIGHT A LITTLE BRIGHTER
WHEREVER HE WOULD GO,
THE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
OF LONG, LONG AGO.
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.

HITCH ME TO THE ONE I LOVE.
YOU CAN IF YOU TRY.
DON’T TELL ME NO LIE.
WILL YOU BE MELLOW AND
BRIGHT TONIGHT OLE BUTTERMILK SKY?

OLD MAN RIVER,
THAT OLD MAN RIVER,
HE MUST KNOW SOMETHIN’,
BUT HE DON’T SAY NOTHIN’.
HE JUST KEEPS ROLLIN’,
HE KEEPS ON ROLLIN’ ALONG.
HE DON’T PLANT ‘TATERS,
HE DON’T PLANT COTTON,
AND THEM THAT PLANTS THEM
IS SOON FORGOTTEN.
BUT OLD MAN RIVER,
HE JUST KEEPS ROLLIN’ ALONG.
YOU AND ME, WE SWEAT AND STRAIN,
BODIES ALL ACHIN’

“TOTE THAT BARGE!”, “LIFT THAT BALE!”
YOU GET A LITTLE DRUNK
AND YOU LAND IN JAIL.
I GET WEARY AND SICK OF TRYIN’.
I’M TIRED OF LIVING
BUT I’M FEARED OF DYIN’.
AND OLD MAN RIVER,
HE JUST KEEPS ROLLIN’ ALONG.

MELTING YOUR HEART OF STONE.
I’D LOVE TO GET YOU
ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA,

1309. ONCE IN A WHILE 1937 |
ONCE IN A WHILE, WILL YOU TRY TO GIVE
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.
1310. ONE DOZEN ROSES 1942 1
GIVE ME ONE DOZEN ROSES,
PUT MY HEART IN BESIDE THEM,
AND SEND THEM TO THE ONE I LOVE.
SHE’LL BE GLAD TO RECEIVE THEM
AND I KNOW SHE’LL BELIEVE THEM.
THAT’S SOMETHING
WE’VE BEEN TALKING OF.
THERE MAY BE ORANGE BLOSSOMS LATER,
KIND OF THINK THAT THERE WILL.
‘CAUSE SHE’S DONE SOMETHING TO ME,
AND MY HEART WON’T KEEP STILL.
GIVE ME ONE DOZEN ROSES,
PUT MY HEART IN BESIDE THEM,
AND SEND THEM TO THE ONE I LOVE.
1311. OVER THERE 1917 |
OVER THERE, OVER THERE,

SEND THE WORD, SEND THE WORD
TO BEWARE.
WE’LL BE OVER, WE’RE COMING OVER,
AND WE WON’T BE BACK
TILL IT’S OVER OVER THERE.

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.
316. PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES IN YOUR

IT NEVER WAS WORTHWHILE.
SO PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES
IN YOUR OLD KIT-BAG

317. PAPER DOLL 1943
I’M GONNA BUY A PAPER DOLL
THAT I CAN CALL MY OWN.
A DOLL THAT OTHER FELLAS
CANNOT STEAL.
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

CHORUS
PEARLY SHELLS, FROM THE OCEAN,

AND I’VE GOT MORE LEFT OVER
FOR EACH STAR
THAT TWINKLES IN THE BLUE.
REPEAT CHORUS

MAKE MY HEART SAY, “HOW’S CHANCES?”
COME BE MY OWN,
COME MAKE YOUR HOME IN MY HEART.

EVERY TIME IT RAINS IT RAINS
PENNIES FROM HEAVEN.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN?

ALL OVER TOWN.
BE SURE THAT THAT YOUR UMBRELLA
IS UPSIDE DOWN.
TRADE THEM FOR A PACKAGE OF,

JUST PICTURE A PENTHOUSE
WAY UP IN THE SKY,
WITH HINGES ON CHIMNEYS
FOR STARS TO GO BY.
A SWEET SLICE OF HEAVEN
FOR JUST YOU AND I,
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.

OVER ANDOVER,
I TRIED TO PROVE MY LOVE TO YOU.
OVER AND OVER, WHAT MORE CAN I DO?

IT WAS A RAINY DAY.
WITH TEARFUL SIGHS
SHE BREATHED A SIGH
AND I COULD HEAR HER SAY,

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.

ALONE FROM NIGHT TO NIGHT
YOU’LL FIND ME,
TOO WEAK TO BREAK THE CHAINS
THAT BIND ME.
I NEED NO SHACKLES TO REMIND ME;

FOR ONE COMMAND
I STAND AND WAIT NOW.
FROM ONE WHO’S MASTER
OF MY FATE NOW.
I CANT ESCAPE FOR IT’S TOO LATE NOW;
I’M JUST A PRISONER OF LOVE.
WHAT’S THE GOOD OF MY CARING
IF SOMEONE IS SHARING
THOSE ARMS WITH ME?
ALTHOUGH HE HAS ANOTHER,
I CAN’T HAVE ANOTHER,
‘CAUSE I’M NOT FREE.
HE’S IN MY DREAMS
AWAKE OR SLEEPING.

MY VERY LIFE IS IN HIS KEEPING;
I’M JUST A PRISONER OF LOVE.

THAT YOU’LL BE GLAD
YOU DECIDED TO SMILE.
PICK OUT A PLEASANT OUTLOOK.
STICK OUT THAT NOBLE CHIN.

SLAP ON A HAPPY GRIN.
AND SPREAD SUNSHINE
ALL OVER THE PLACE.
JUST PUT ON A HAPPY FACE.

OUT IN ARIZONA
WHERE THE BAD MEN ARE,
THE ONLY THING TO GUIDE YOU
IS THE EVENING STAR.

RAGGEDY MUSIC TO THE CATTLE
AS HE SWINGS,
BACK AND FORWARD IN THE SADDLE,
ON A HORSE,
THAT IS SYNCOPATED-GAITED,
AND THERE’S SUCH A FUNNY METER
TO THE ROAR OF HIS REPEATER.
HOW THEY RUN,
WHEN THEY HEAR THAT FELLOWS GUN
BECAUSE THE WESTERN FOLKS ALL KNOW.
HE’S A HIGH-FALUTIN, ROOTIN’, TOOTIN’

BUT WHEN ALL THE BRAVES RETURNED,
THE HEART OF RED WING YEARNED,

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.

SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES,
DINNER DATES AND FLOWERS.
JUST LIKE OLD TIMES,
STAYING UP FOR HOURS.
MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE,
DOING THINGS WE USED TO DO.
SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES
BEING HERE WITH YOU.

1356. SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY 1944 |
GONNA TAKE A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY.
GONNA SET MY HEART AT EASE.
GONNA TAKE A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
TO RENEW OLD MEMORIES.
GOT MY BAG AND GOT MY RESERVATION.
SPENT EACH DIME I COULD AFFORD.
LIKE A CHILD IN WILD ANTICIPATION,
LONG TO HEAR THAT “ALL ABOARD.”
SEVEN, THAT’S THE TIME WE LEAVE,
AT SEVEN.
I’LL BE WAITING UP FOR HEAVEN,
COUNTING EVERY MILE OF RAILROAD
TRACK THAT TAKES ME BACK.
NEVER THOUGHT
MY HEART COULD BE SO YEARNY.
WHY DID I DECIDE TO ROAM?
GONNA TAKE A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME.

SEPTEMBER, NOVEMBER.
AND THESE FEW PRECIOUS DAYS

WHEN YOU FIND YOUR TRUE LOVE;
WHEN YOU FEEL HER CALL YOU
ACROSS A CROWDED ROOM.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BELLS WILL RING,
TING-A-LING-A-LING, TING-A -LING-A-LING,
AND YOU’LL SING VITA BELLA.
HEARTS WILL PLAY, TIPPY- TIPPY- TAY,
TIPPY- TIPPY-TAY,
LIKE A GAY TARANTELLA.
WHEN YOU WALK IN A DREAM AND YOU
KNOW YOU’RE NOT DREAMING, SIGNORE.
SCUZZA ME, BUT YOU SEE,
BACK IN OLD NAPOLI, THAT’S AMORE .
1399. THAT’S MY DESIRE 1931 |
TO SPEND ONE NIGHT WITH YOU,
IN OUR OLD RENDEZVOUS,
AND REMINISCE WITH YOU,
THAT’S MY DESIRE.
TO MEET WHERE GYPSIES PLAY,
DOWN IN THAT DIM CAFE,
AND DANCE TILL BREAK OF DAY,
THAT’S MY DESIRE.
WE’LL SIP A LITTLE GLASS OF WINE.
I’LL GAZE INTO YOUR EYES DIVINE.
I’LL FEEL THE TOUCH OF YOUR LIPS
PRESSING ON MINE.
TO HEAR YOU WHISPER LOW,
JUST WHEN ITS TIME TO GO,
“CHERIE, I LOVE YOU SO,”
THAT’S MY DESIRE.
1400. THERE GOES MY HEART 1934 |
THERE GOES MY HEART;
THERE GOES THE ONE I LOVE.
THERE GOES THE BOY,
l WASN’T WORTHY OF.
THERE GOES MY HAPPINESS;
IT COULDN’T BE.
THERE GOES SOMEBODY ELSE
IN PLACE OF ME .
GOODBYE ROMANCE;
IT COULDN’T LAST SOMEHOW.
I HAD MY CHANCE,
BUT ITS ALL OVER NOW.
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT HE
COULD PASS ME BY.
THERE GOES MY HEART
AND HERE AM I.

401. THERE IS A TAVERN IN THE TOWN
__________________________________ 1883
THERE IS A TAVERN IN THE TOWN,
IN THE TOWN.
AND THERE MY TRUE LOVE
SITS HIM DOWN, SITS HIM DOWN,
AND DRINKS HIS WINE
AMID THE LAUGHTER FREE,
AND NEVER, NEVER THINKS OF ME.
FARE THEE WELL, FOR I MUST LEAVE THEE,
DO NOT LET THE PARTING GRIEVE THEE,
AND REMEMBER THAT THE BEST OF
FRIENDS MUST PART, MUST PART.
ADIEU, ADIEU, KIND FRIENDS,
ADIEU, YES ADIEU.
I CAN NO LONGER STAY WITH YOU,
STAY WITH YOU.
I’LL HANG MY HARP
ON A WEEPING WILLOW TREE,
AND MAY THE WORLD
GO WELL WITH THEE.
402. THERE’LL BE
SOME CHANGES MADE 1921
FOR THERE’S A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER,
THERE’S A CHANGE IN THE SEA.
SO FROM NOW ON
THERE’LL BE A CHANGE IN ME.
MY WALK WILL BE DIFFERENT,
MY TALK AND MY NAME.
NOTHING ABOUT ME
IS GOING TO BE THE SAME.
I’M GOING TO CHANGE MY WAY OF LIVING,
AND IF THAT AIN’T ENOUGH.
THEN I’LL CHANGE THE WAY
I STRUT MY STUFF.
‘CAUSE NOBODY WANTS YOU
WHEN YOU’RE OLD AND GRAY.
THERE’LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE TODAY.
THERE’LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE.
403. THERE’S A LONG, LONG TRAIL
_________________________________1914
THERE’S A LONG, LONG TRAIL A-WINDING
INTO THE LAND OF MY DREAMS,
WHERE THE NIGHTINGALES ARE SINGING
AND A WHITE MOON BEAMS.
THERE’S A LONG, LONG NIGHT OF WAITING
UNTIL MY DREAMS ALL COME TRUE,
TILL THE DAY WHEN I’LL BE GOING
DOWN THAT LONG, LONG TRAIL WITH YOU.
404. THERE WILL NEVER BE
ANOTHER YOU 1942
THIS IS OUR LAST DANCE TOGETHER.
TONIGHT SOON WILL BE LONG AGO.
AND IN OUR MOMENT OF PARTING,
THIS IS ALL I WANT YOU TO KNOW.
THERE WILL BE MANY OTHER
NIGHTS LIKE THIS.
AND I’LL BE STANDING HERE
WITH SOMEONE NEW.
THERE WILL BE OTHER SONGS TO SING,
ANOTHER FALL, ANOTHER SPRING,
BUT THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER YOU.
THERE WILL BE OTHER LIPS
THAT I MAY KISS.
BUT THEY WON’T THRILL ME
LIKE YOURS USED TO DO.
YES, I MAY DREAM A MILLION DREAMS,
BUT HOW CAN THEY COME TRUE?
IF THERE WILL NEVER, EVER BE
ANOTHER YOU.
1405. THIS IS MY COUNTRY 1940 |
THIS IS MY COUNTRY, LAND OF MY BIRTH.
THIS IS MY COUNTRY, GRANDEST ON EARTH
I PLEDGE THEE MY ALLEGIANCE,
AMERICA THE BOLD.
FOR THIS IS MY COUNTRY,
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD.
THIS IS MY COUNTRY, LAND OF MY CHOICE.
THIS IS MY COUNTRY,
HEAR MY PROUD VOICE.
I PLEDGE THEE MY ALLEGIANCE,

1406. THESE FOOLISH THINGS 1936 |
A CIGARETTE THAT BEARS
A LIPSTICK’S TRACES.
AN AIRLINE TICKET TO ROMANTIC PLACES.
AND STILL MY HEART HAS WINGS.
THESE FOOLISH THINGS
REMIND ME OF YOU.
A TINKLING PIANO
IN THE NEXT APARTMENT.
THOSE STUMBLING WORDS THAT TOLD
YOU WHAT MY HEART MEANT.
A FAIR-GROUND’S PAINTED SWINGS.
THESE FOOLISH THINGS
REMIND ME OF YOU.
YOU CAME, YOU SAW,
YOU CONQUERED ME.
WHEN YOU DID THAT TO ME,
I KNEW SOMEHOW THIS HAD TO BE.
THE WINDS OF MARCH
THAT MAKE MY HEART A DANCER.
A TELEPHONE THAT RINGS,
BUT WHO’S TO ANSWER?
OH, HOW THE GHOST OF YOU CLINGS.
THESE FOOLISH THINGS
REMIND ME OF YOU.
407. THEY CAN’T TAKE THAT
AWAY FROM ME
1937
THE WAY YOU WEAR YOUR HAT.
THE WAY YOU SIP YOUR TEA.
THE MEMORY OF ALL THAT,
NO! NO! THEY CANT TAKE
THAT AWAY FROM ME.
THE WAY YOUR SMILE JUST BEAMS.
THE WAY YOU SING OFF KEY.
THE WAY YOU HAUNT MY DREAMS,
NO! NO! THEY CAN’T TAKE
THAT AWAY FROM ME.
WE MAY NEVER, NEVER MEET AGAIN
ON THE BUMPY ROAD TO LOVE.
STILL I’LL ALWAYS, ALWAYS
KEEP THE MEMORY OF —
THE WAY YOU HOLD YOUR KNIFE.
THE WAY WE DANCED TILL THREE.
THE WAY YOU’VE CHANGED MY LIFE.
NO! NO! THEY CAN’T TAKE
THAT AWAY FROM ME.
NO! THEY CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME.
1408. THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND 1940 |
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.
AS I WAS WALKING,
THAT RIBBON OF HIGHWAY,
I SAW ABOVE ME,
THAT ENDLESS SKYWAY.
I SAW BELOW ME, THAT GOLDEN VALLEY;
THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.
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.

ONCE KNEW HIS CHILDREN.
THIS OLE HOUSE ONCE KNEW HIS WIFE.
THIS OLE HOUSE
WAS HOME AND COMFORT

THIS OLE HOUSE IS A-GETTIN’ SHAKY.
THIS OLE HOUSE IS A-GETTIN’ OLD.

BUT HE FEELS NO FEAR NOR PAIN.
‘CAUSE HE CAN SEE AN ANGEL PEEKIN’
THROUGH A BROKEN WINDOWPANE.
REPEAT CHORUS
THIS OLE HOUSE IS AFRAID OF THUNDER.
THIS OLE HOUSE IS AFRAID OF STORMS.
THIS OLE HOUSE
JUST GROANS AND TREMBLES,
WHEN THE NIGHT WIND FLINGS ITS ARMS.
THIS OLE HOUSE IS GETTIN’ FEEBLE.
THIS OLD HOUSE IS NEEDIN’ PAINT.
JUST LIKE HIM IT’S TUCKERED OUT,
BUT HE’S A-GETTIN’ READY
TO MEET THE SAINTS.
REPEAT CHORUS
THIS OLE HOUSE-DOG LIES A-SLEEPIN’.
HE DON’T KNOW I’M GONNA LEAVE.

410. THOSE WERE THE DAYS 1962
RUSSIA OR UKRAINE TUNE OF ~~ 1900
ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A TAVERN
WHERE WE USED TO RAISE A GLASS OR TWO.
REMEMBER HOW WE
LAUGHED AWAY THE HOURS AND THINK OF
ALL THE GREAT THINGS WE WOULD DO .
CHORUS
THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND,
WE THOUGHT THEY’D NEVER END.
WE’D SING AND DANCE FOREVER AND A DAY.
WE’D LIVE THE LIFE WE CHOOSE.
WE’D FIGHT AND NEVER LOSE,
FOR WE WERE YOUNG
AND SURE TO HAVE OUR WAY. LA LA LA LA…
THOSE WERE THE DAYS,
OH, YES THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
THEN THE BUSY YEARS WENT RUSHING BY US.
WE LOST OUR STARRY NOTIONS ON THE WAY.
IF BY CHANCE I’D SEE YOU IN THE TAVERN,
WE’D SMILE AT ONE ANOTHER AND WE’D SAY REPEAT
CHORUS
JUST TONIGHT I STOOD BEFORE THE TAVERN.
NOTHING SEEMED THE WAY IT USED TO BE.
IN THE GLASS I SAW A STRANGE REFLECTION,
WAS THAT LONELY WOMAN REALLY ME?
REPEAT CHORUS
THROUGH THE DOOR THERE CAME
FAMILIAR LAUGHTER.
I SAW YOUR FACE AND
HEARD YOU CALL MY NAME.
OH, MY FRIEND WE’RE OLDER BUT NO WISER,
FOR IN OUR HEARTS
THE DREAMS ARE STILL THE SAME.
REPEAT CHORUS
411. THREE O’CLOCK
IN THE MORNING 1919
IT’S THREE O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING,
WE’VE DANCED THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH.

THAT MELODY SO ENTRANCING,
SEEMS TO BE MADE FOR US TWO.
I COULD JUST KEEP RIGHT ON
DANCING FOREVER, DEAR, WITH YOU.

1412. TILL THERE WAS YOU 1957 |
THERE WERE BELLS ON THE HILL,
BUT I NEVER HEARD THEM RINGING.
NO, I NEVER HEARD THEM AT ALL,
TILL THERE WAS YOU.
THERE WERE BIRDS IN THE SKY,
BUT I NEVER SAW THEM WINGING.
NO, I NEVER SAW THEM AT ALL,
TILL THERE WAS YOU.
AND THERE WAS MUSIC
AND THERE WERE WONDERFUL ROSES,
THEY TELL ME, IN SWEET FRAGRANT
MEADOWS OF DAWN AND DEW.
THERE WAS LOVE ALL AROUND,
BUT I NEVER HEARD IT SINGING.
NO, I NEVER HEARD IT AT ALL,
TILL THERE WAS YOU.
1413. TILL WE MEET AGAIN 1918 |
SMILE THE WHILE YOU KISS ME SAD ADIEU.
WHEN THE CLOUDS ROLL BY
I’LL COME TO YOU.
THEN THE SKIES WILL SEEM MORE BLUE,
DOWN IN LOVER’S LANE, MY DEARIE.
WEDDING BELLS WILL RING SO MERRILY.
EVERY TEAR WILL BE A MEMORY.
SO WAIT AND PRAY EACH NIGHT FOR ME,
TILL WE MEET AGAIN.

TIP-TOE FROM YOUR PILLOW,
TO THE SHADOW, OF A WILLOW TREE,
AND TIP-TOE
THROUGH THE TULIPS WITH ME.
KNEE DEEP IN FLOWERS WE’LL STRAY.

CHORUS
TODAY, WHILE THE BLOSSOMS
STILL CLING TO THE VINE,
I’LL TASTE YOUR STRAWBERRIES,
I’LL DRINK YOUR SWEET WINE.
A MILLION TOMORROWS
SHALL ALL PASS AWAY,
ERE I FORGET
ALL THE JOY THAT IS MINE, TODAY.
I’LL BE A DANDY, AND I’LL BE A ROVER.
YOU’LL KNOW WHO I AM
BY THE SONGS THAT I SING.
I’LL FEAST AT YOUR TABLE,
I’LL SLEEP IN YOUR CLOVER.
WHO CARES WHAT
THE MORROW MAY BRING?
REPEAT CHORUS
I CAN’T BE CONTENTED
WITH YESTERDAY’S GLORY.
I CANT LIVE ON PROMISES
WINTER TO SPRING.

A ROSE MUST REMAIN
WITH THE SUN AND THE RAIN,
OR IT’S LOVELY PROMISE
WONT COME TRUE.
TO EACH HIS OWN, TO EACH HIS OWN,
AND MY OWN IS YOU.
WHAT GOOD IS A SONG
IF THE WORDS JUST DON’T BELONG,
AND A DREAM
MUST BE A DREAM FOR TWO?
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,

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- LOO- RA,

_________________________________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.

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.

GEE BUT IT’S GREAT
AFTER BEING OUT LATE,
WALKIN’ MY BABY BACK HOME.
ARM IN ARM OVER MEADOW AND FARM,
WALKIN’ MY BABY BACK HOME.
WE GO ALONG
HARMONIZING A SONG,
OR I’M RECITING A POEM.
OWLS GO BY AND THEY GIVE ME THE EYE,
WALKIN’ MY BABY BACK HOME.
WE STOP FOR A WHILE,
SHE GIVES ME A SMILE
AND SNUGGLES HER HEAD TO MY CHEST.
WE START IN TO PET,
AND THAT’S WHEN I GET
HER TALCUM ALL OVER MY VEST.
AFTER l KINDA STRAIGHTEN MY TIE,
SHE HAS TO BORROW MY COMB.
ONE KISS THEN I CONTINUE AGAIN,
WALKIN’ MY BABY BACK HOME.

436. WAITING FOR THE ROBERT E. LEE
__________________________________ 1912
WAY DOWN ON THE LEVEE
IN OLD ALABAMY,
THERE’S DADDY AND MAMMY
AND EPHRAIM AND SAMMY.
ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT
YOU CAN FIND THEM ALL
WHILE THEY ARE WAITING,
THE BANJOS ARE SYNCOPATING.
WHAT’S THAT THEY’RE SAYING?
WHAT’S THAT THEY’RE SAYING?
WHILE THEY KEEP PLAYING,
A-HUMMING AND SWAYING,
IT’S THE GOOD SHIP ROBERT E. LEE
THAT’S COME TO CARRY
THE COTTON AWAY.

WATCH THEM SHUFFLING ALONG.
SEE THEM SHUFFLING ALONG.
GO TAKE YOUR BEST GAL, REAL PAL,
GO DOWN TO THE LEVEE,
I SAID TO THE LEVEE.
AND JOIN THAT SHUFFLING THRONG.
HEAR THAT MUSIC AND SONG.
IT’S SIMPLY GREAT, MATE,
WAITING ON THE LEVEE,
WAITING FOR THE ROBERT E. LEE.
THE WHISTLES ARE BLOWING.
THE SMOKESTACKS ARE SHOWING.
THE ROPES THEY ARE THROWING.
EXCUSE ME, I’M GOING
TO THE PLACE WHERE
ALL IS HARMONIOUS,
EVEN THE PREACHER,
HE IS THE DANCING TEACHER.
437. WEDDING BELLS ARE BREAKING UP
THAT OLD GANG OF MINE 1929
NOT A SOUL DOWN ON THE CORNER,
THAT’S A PRETTY CERTAIN SIGN.
THOSE WEDDING BELLS ARE BREAKING UP
THAT OLD GANG OF MINE.
ALL THE BOYS ARE SINGING LOVE SONGS,
THEY FORGOT “SWEET ADELINE”.
THOSE WEDDING BELLS ARE BREAKING UP
THAT OLD GANG OF MINE.
THERE GOES JACK, THERE GOES JIM,
DOWN TO LOVER’S LANE.
NOW AND THEN WE MEET AGAIN,
BUT THEY DON’T SEEM THE SAME.
GEE! I GET A LONESOME FEELING,
WHEN I HEAR THE CHURCH BELLS CHIME.
THOSE WEDDING BELLS ARE BREAKING UP
THAT OLD GANG OF MINE.
1438 WE THREE 1940 |
WE THREE, WE’RE ALL ALONE
LIVING IN A MEMORY-
MY ECHO, MY SHADOW, AND ME.
WE THREE, WE’RE NOT A CROWD.
WE’RE NOT EVEN COMPANY —
MY ECHO, MY SHADOW, AND ME.
WHAT GOOD IS THE MOONLIGHT,
THE SILVERY MOONLIGHT
THAT SHINES ABOVE?
I WALK WITH MY SHADOW,
I TALK WITH MY ECHO,
BUT WHERE IS THE ONE I LOVE?
WE THREE, WE’LL WAIT FOR YOU,
EVEN TILL ETERNITY-
MY ECHO, MY SHADOW, AND ME.
HAVE YOU BEEN DOWN THERE?
WERE YOU AROUND THERE?
IF YOU EVER GO THERE,
YOU’LL ALWAYS BE FOUND THERE.
WHY, DOG-GONE, HERE COMES MY BABY
ON THE GOOD OLD ROBERT E. LEE.

1934
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES.
TWENTY-FOUR LITTLE HOURS
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.
SKIES ABOVE CANT BE STORMY,
SINCE THAT MOMENT OF BLISS,
THAT THRILLING KISS.
IT’S HEAVEN WHEN YOU
FIND ROMANCE ON YOUR MENU.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MADE
AND THE DIFFERENCE IS YOU.
1442. WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD 1967 |
I SEE TREES OF GREEN, RED ROSES TOO.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.
I SEE SKIES OF BLUE,
AND CLOUDS OF WHITE.
THE BRIGHT BLESSED DAY,
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.
1443. WHAT’LL I DO? 1923 |
WHAT’LL I DO WHEN YOU ARE FAR AWAY
AND I AM BLUE, WHAT’LL l DO?
WHAT’LL I DO WHEN I AM WONDERING WHO
IS KISSING YOU, WHAT’LL I DO?
WHAT’LL I DO WITH JUST A PHOTOGRAPH
TO TELL MY TROUBLES TO?
WHEN I’M ALONE WITH ONLY DREAMS OF YOU
THAT WON’T COME TRUE, WHAT’LL I DO?

1444. WHEN I FALL IN LOVE ~
WHEN I FALL IN LOVE,
IT WILL BE FOREVER,
OR I’LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE.
IN A RESTLESS WORLD LIKE THIS IS,
LOVE IS ENDED BEFORE IT’S BEGUN.
AND TOO MANY MOONLIGHT KISSES,
SEEM TO COOL
IN THE WARMTH OF THE SUN.
WHEN I GIVE MY HEART,

1446. WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING 1912 |
THERE’S A TEAR IN YOUR EYE,
AND I’M WONDERING WHY,
FOR IT NEVER SHOULD BE
THERE AT ALL.
WITH SUCH POWER IN YOUR SMILE,
SURE A STONE YOU’D BEGUILE,
SO THERE’S NEVER A
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,
AND ALL OTHER TIMES SMILE,
AND NOW SMILE A SMILE FOR ME.
WHEN IRISH HEARTS ARE HAPPY,
ALL THE WORLD SEEMS BRIGHT AND GAY.
BUT WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING,
SURE THEY STEAL YOUR HEART AWAY.
447. WHEN IT’S SPRINGTIME
IN THE ROCKIES____________ 1929
WHEN IT’S SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES

WHEN IT’S SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES,
IN THE ROCKIES FARAWAY.
448. WHEN JOHNNY COMES
MARCHING HOME AGAIN 1863

WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME .
1449. WHEN YOU’RE SMILING 1928 |
WHEN YOU’RE SMILING,

THE SUN COMES SHINING THROUGH.

YOU BRING ON THE RAIN.
SO STOP YOUR SIGHING,
BE HAPPY AGAIN.
KEEP ON SMILING,
’CAUSE WHEN YOU’RE SMILING,
THE WHOLE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU.

450. WHEN YOU WERE SWEET SIXTEEN
1898
I LOVE YOU AS I NEVER LOVED BEFORE,
SINCE FIRST I MET YOU
ON THE VILLAGE GREEN.
COME TO ME OR
MY DREAM OF LOVE IS O’ER.
I LOVE YOU AS I LOVED YOU,
WHEN YOU WERE SWEET,
WHEN YOU WERE SWEET SIXTEEN.
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.
LIKE A BOLT OUT OF THE BLUE,
FATE STEPS IN AND SEES YOU THROUGH.
WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR
YOUR DREAM COMES TRUE.
1452. WHEN YOU WORE A TULIP 1914 |
WHEN YOU WORE A TULIP,
A SWEET YELLOW TULIP,
AND I WORE A BIG RED ROSE.
WHEN YOU CARESSED ME,
TWAS THEN HEAVEN BLESSED ME;
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 |
TO THE TABLES DOWN AT MORY’S,
TO THE PLACE WHERE LOUIE DWELLS,
TO THE DEAR OLD TEMPLE BAR
WE LOVE SO WELL.
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.

I’M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS,
JUST LIKE THE ONES I USED TO KNOW,
WHERE THE TREETOPS GLISTEN,

WITH EVERY CHRISTMAS CARD I WRITE.

AND MAY ALL
YOUR CHRISTMASES BE WHITE!

TOMORROW, WHEN THE WORLD IS FREE.
THE SHEPHERD WILL TEND HIS SHEEP.
THE VALLEY WILL BLOOM AGAIN.
AND JIMMY WILL GO TO SLEEP,
IN HIS OWN LITTLE ROOM AGAIN.
THERE’LL BE BLUEBIRDS OVER
THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER,
TOMORROW, JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE.
1457. WHO? 1925 |
WHO STOLE MY HEART AWAY?
WHO MAKES ME DREAM ALL DAY?
DREAMS I KNOW
THAT CAN NEVER BE TRUE.
SEEMS AS THOUGH
I’LL EVER BE BLUE.
WHO MEANS MY HAPPINESS?
WHO WOULD I ANSWER “YES” TO?
WELL, YOU OUGHT TO GUESS WHO.
NO ONE BUT YOU.
[4587 WHO’S SORRY NOW? 1923 |
WHO’S SORRY NOW?
WHO’S SORRY NOW?
WHOSE HEART IS ACHING
FOR BREAKING EACH VOW?
WHO’S SAD AND BLUE?
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.

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.

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.

JUST REMEMBER WHEN A
DREAM APPEARS — YOU BELONG TO ME.
I’LL BE SO ALONE WITHOUT YOU.

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.

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

PLENTY OF SUNSHINE COMIN’ MY WAY.

IT’S THE TRUTH, IT’S ACTUAL,
EVERYTHING IS SATISFACTUAL.

WONDERFUL FEELING, WONDERFUL DAY!
