About A Quarter To Nine

The stars are gonna twinkle and shine,
This evening about a quarter to nine,
My loving arms are gonna tenderly twine twee twee twine,
Around you around a quarter to nine.

I know I won't be late 'cause at half past eight,
I'm gonna hurry there,
I'll be waiting where the lane begins,
Waiting for you on needles and pins.

And then the world is gonna be mine oh all mine,
This evening about a quarter to nine,

Then the world is gonna be mine
This evening about a quarter to nine

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

If you should leave me
I know it would grieve me
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

I love you dearly
I'm yours sincerely
But honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

When the cat's away the mice will play
I don't say I will but still I may
I may be blue away from you
And then again I may be gay

When I get fretful I get forgetful
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

When the cat's away the mice will play
I don't say I will but still I may
I may be blue away from you
And then again I may be gay

When I get fretful I get forgetful
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else
For somebody else

Ain't That A Kick In The Head

How lucky can one guy be
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said
Ain't that a kick in the head

The room was completely black
I hugger her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said, quote "ain't that a hole in the boat"
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep grinning
If this is just the beginning, my life's gonna be beautiful
I've got sunshine enough to spread
It's like the fella said
Tell me quick ain't love like a kick in the head
Like the fella once said
Ain't love like a kick in the head

Like the sailor said, quote "ain't that a hole in the boat"
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep grinning
If this is just the beginning, my life's gonna be beautiful

She's telling me we'll be wed
She's picked out a kink size bed
I couldn't fell any better or I'd be sick
Tell me quick, oh ain't love a kick
Tell me quick, ain't love a kick in the head

Alabamy Bound

I'm Alabamy bound
They'll be no heebie-jeebies hanging 'round
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth
All I'm worth to put my tootsies in an upper berth

Just hear the choo-choo sound
I know that soon we're gonna cover ground
And then I'll holler so the world will know
Here I go
I'm Alabamy bound

I'm Alabamy bound
They'll be no heebie-jeebies hanging 'round
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth
All I'm worth to put my tootsies in an upper berth

Just hear the choo-choo sound
I know that soon we're gonna cover the ground
And then I'll holler so the world will know

Here I go... I'm Alabamy
I'm Alabamy bound... I'm gone

All I Do Is Dream Of You

All I do is dream of you the whole night through
Where the dawn I still go on dreaming of you
You're every thought you're everything you're every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring

And where them all and 24 hours a day
Let be spent in sweet content dreaming away
When skies are gray when skies are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you

And where them all and 24 hours a day
Let be spent in sweet content dreaming away
When skies are gray when skies are blue
Morning, noon and nighttime too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you

All I Have To Give You

All I have to give to you is my love
All I have to offer you is me
I wish that I could give you more than just my love
The world and its treasures, the sun, the moon, the stars above
I'll build you castles towering to the sky
We'll be next door to heaven
You and I
Until these things come true
My love will have to do
This is all I have to give to you

I'll build you castles towering to the sky
We'll be next door to heaven
You and I
Until these things come true
My love will have to do
This is all I have to give to you

All In A Night's Work

When Paul Revere went riding while the stars were burning bright
It was all it was all it was all in a night's work
When Edison stayed up so late he finally saw the light
It was all it was all it was all in a night's work

And when a girl and fellow get underneath that moon
It's not a long shot you can bet on something happening soon
So when they ask me just how come I came up winning you
Though it took hours of flowers and the wining and dining and telephone calls
to get the pot to perk
I smile and say it was all in a night's work

It was all it was all it was all in a night's work

It was all it was all it was all in a night's work

And when a girl and fellow get underneath that moon
It's not a long shot you can bet on something happening soon
So when they ask me just how come I came up winning you
Though it took hours of flowers and the wining and dining and telephone calls
to get the pot to perk
I smile and say it was
All in a night's work
All in a night's work

All Of Me

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 cried
How can I
Go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me

Left me with eyes that cried
Go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me

Always In My Heart

You are always in my heart
Even though you're far away
I can hear the music of the song I sang to you
You are always in my heart

And when skies above are gray
I remember that you care and then and there the sun breaks through
Just before I go to sleep
There's a rendezvous I keep

And the dreams I always meet help me forget we're far apart
I don't know exactly when dear
But I'm sure we'll meet again dear
And my darling 'til we do
You are always in my heart

And the dreams I always meet help me forget were far apart
I don't know exactly when dear
But I'm sure we'll meet again dear
And my darling 'til we do
You are always in my heart

Amor

Amor amor amor
This word so sweet that I repeat
Means I have adored you
Amor amor my love
Will you deny this heart that I have placed before you

I can't find another word with meaning so clear
My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear
Somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear
As this soft caressing word I know

Amor amor my love
When you're away there is no day and nights are lonely
Amor amor my love
Make my life divine say you'll be mine and love me only

I can't find another word with meaning so clear
My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear
Somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear
As this soft caressing word I know

Amor amor my love
When you're away there is no day and nights are lonely
Amor amor my love
Make my life divine say you'll be mine and love me only
Make my life divine say you'll be mine and love me only
Make my life divine say you'll be mine and love me only

Angel Baby

(Angel baby you're mine forever)
(Angel baby, you angel baby you)
Who is the dream who starts me dreaming
Angel baby
Then keeps me worrying and schemeing
You, angel baby, you

Who starts me walking 'round in clover
Angel baby
Then flips my crazy heart right over
You, angel baby, you

Who is the chick I would pick as the absolutely perfect miss for me to kiss
Who is the girl who can curl me around her finger when we kiss again
Who can imagine what I'd give for Angel baby
Just for the chance to love and live for
You, angel baby, you

(Angel baby) you're mine forever
(Angel baby) you, angel baby, you
(Who is the chick he would pick as the absolutely perfect miss for him to
kiss)
(Who is the girl who can twirl him around her little finger when they kiss
again)

Who can imagine what I'd give for Angel baby
Just for the chance to love and live for
You, angel baby, you
(Angel baby) you're mine forever
(Angel baby) you, angel baby, you

Arriverderci, Roma

Arriverderci, Roma
Goodbye, goodbye to Rome
City of a million moon lit faces
City of a million warm embraces
Where I found the one of all the faces
Far from home

Arriverderci, Roma
It's time for us to part
Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning
In her heart

(Arriverderci, Roma
It's time for us to part

Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning

Artists And Models

You can trace the mystery of ancient history
Through art of artists and their models
You can comb through the Rome coliseum
And the rear of your nearest museum
There's the Mona Lisa, the Tower of Pisa
A cowhand's daughter out in Texas
And there's modern art to see
That makes you wonder
What the heck is meant to be
On the streets of Murmark there's a fancy kind of art that is strictly for the
tourists from the sticks
And those wise Greenwich guys really open up your eyes painting portraits of
their pretty little chicks
So to each creator and imitator who daubs and dabbles with the brushes
To the guys that draw their bunnies or the Sunday morning funnies
And brighten up the world today
And to every girl that poses to every Grandma Moses
We like to tip the old beret

As You Are

As you are my love
As you are my love
Say you'll always be
Though the years go by
My heart will ever sigh
You're the love for me

Dearest always be as you are to me
You're my guiding star
What you are to me my love you'll ever be
Though you're near or far
It's so clear to me
Why you're so dear to me
As you are as you are

What you are to me my love you'll ever be
Though you're near or far
It's so clear to me
Why you're so dear to me
As you are
As you are

Aw C'mon

I wanna kiss kiss kiss
But you don't want to, but you don't want to
A kiss should be such bliss
But you don't want to but you don't want to

My lips are just the place to place your lips upon
Go on
Aw c'mon, aw c'mon, aw c'mon

I wanna hug hug hug
But you don't want to, but you don't want to
A hug could be oh so snug
But you don't want to, but you don't want to
You'll gonna change your mind some day
But I'll be gone gone gone
Aw c'mon, aw c'mon, aw c'mon

But you don't want to, but you don't want to
But you don't want to, but you don't want to

You'll gonna change your mind some day
But I'll be gone gone gone
Aw c'mon, aw c'mon, aw c'mon

Baby It's Cold Outside

(I really can't stay) But baby it's cold outside
(Got to go away) But baby it's cold outside
(This evening has been) Been hoping you'd drop in
(So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful watch you're wearing
(My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar
(So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful please don't hurry
(Well maybe just half a drink) Put some records on while I pour
(The neighbors might think) Baby it's bad out there
(Say what's in this drink) No cabs to be had out there
(I wish I knew how) Your eyes are like starlight now
(To break this spell) I'll take your hat your hair looks swell
(I ought to say no no) Mind if I move in closer
(At least I'm going to say I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride
(I really can't stay) Baby don't hold out
(Both) Baby it's cold outside

(I simply must go) Baby it's cold outside
(The answer is no) Baby it's cold outside
(The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in
(So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm
(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious
(My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore
(My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious
(But maybe just a cigarette) Never such a blizzard before
(I got to get home) But baby you'd freeze out there
(Say lend me a comb) It's up to your knees out there
(You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand
(But don't you see) How can you do this to me
(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow
(At least they'll be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died
(I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt
(Both) Baby it's cold
(Both) Baby it's cold outside

Baby Obey Me

When I say give me love well don't be meager
Gee can't you see that I'm over eager
Oh baby oh baby obey me

And when my lonely arms need a build up
Well get in my arms and keep them filled up
Oh baby oh baby obey me

Facts are facts and I'm mad about your caress
So relax there's only one word for yes
My love just lives for you why be lonely
I want you for my one and only
Oh baby oh baby obey me do

Songs are writ to tell you what the lovers say
And they're a hit when people believe that way
So darling don't be shy don't be gentle
'cause I want you close and continental
Oh baby oh baby obey me
No maybe hey baby you slay me
Oh baby obey me do

Bamboozled

(Bamboozled bamboozled)
Hey looky here see me grin ear to ear all aglow I'm so bamboozled
(Bamboozled)
Hey look at me walking tall as a tree since I got a lot bamboozled
(Bamboozled)
I kept shying away she kept sighing away
Now suffice it to say that I fought but I'm finally caught
I fly like the birds feel too lovely for words yesiree that's me bamboozled
Out of my whisps but the thrill of it fits like a glove
(Bamboozled bamboozled by you)
Heaven open the door I ain't running no more
I got bamboozled but oh how I love it in love

(la la la la la la la la la bamboozled)
(la la la la la la la la la bamboozled)
I tried taking a stand
She kept taking my hand
That felt wonderful grand
So I fell like a ton I'm a son-of-a-gun
Will you look at me now not a crease on my brow
When we kiss I'm this bamboozled
Sailing right along feeling bright as the song of a dove
She kept playing it smart
Kissed me out of my heart
I got bamboozled (bamboozled bamboozled) (both) but how I love it in love

Basin Street Blues

Won't you come along with me

And old friends to greet us

And how I will yearn dear when I'm all alone
But I never forget dear your sweet memory
If you really love me be honest with me

Beau James

Beau James, Beau James, Beau James

He walked along Broadway
They called him Beau James
The city streets were his pals
The lights were his gals
His favorite flames

He wrote on the sidewalk in big white chalk
Jimmy Walker loves New York
Oh how that love affair
Lit up Times Square

He walked along Broadway and blew her a kiss
The many years have gone by
You still hear her sigh
No kiss was like this

And though the town fell out of love with him
And called him a few unkind names
Yet one will always remember, remain

Because You're Mine

Because you're mine the brightest star I see
Looks down my love and envies me
Because you're mine
Because you're mine

Because you're mine the breeze that hurries by
Becomes a melody and why
Because you're mine
Because you're mine

I only know for as long as I may live
I'll only live for the kiss you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isn't thunder dear
It's only my poor heart you hear
And its applause because you're mine

And when we kiss
That isn't thunder dear
It's only my poor heart you hear
And its applause
Because you're mine

Belle From Barcelona

(Eyes exciting very amoroso
Lips inviting real delicioso)

We sailed in to the port of Barcelona
And I could see her standing there
As I strolled by her verandah
She tossed me a rose from her hair

The steamer was anchored for an hour
And she seemed like a dream come true
I stopped and picked up the flower
Not knowing it meant I love you

O-O-Le that belle from Barcelona way
If you could see her o-o-le
You'd know I only needed to say o-le
Hey muchacha
She showed a lot of muchacha
She kissed me and ooo-cha-cha
I knew I was there to stay

Oh chiquita you are muchilina
Oh chiquita you are so bonita

Eyes exciting very amoroso
Lips inviting very delicioso

Besame Mucho

Besame besame mucho,
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine,
Besame besame mucho,
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine.

This joy is something new my arms enfolding you,
never knew this thrill before,
Whoever thought I'd be holding you,
close to me whispering you I adore.

Dearest one if you should leave me,
Each little dream would take wing,
and my life would be through,
Besame besame mucho.

Love me forever,
and make all my dreams come true,
Besame besame mucho...

Love me forever,
and make all my dreams come true.

Beside You

To be beside you could I ask for more
Each thrill beside you so worth waiting for
Such lips never have been I'm in a spin when we touch lips
I go dancing in the sky

I sigh beside you through winter's storm
For here beside you I'm forever warm
I must be feeling day dreams it isn't any crime
To want to be beside you 'til there's no more time

I sigh beside you through winter's storm
For here beside you I'm forever warm
I must be feeling day dreams it isn't any crime
To want to be beside you 'til there's no more time

Bet-I-Cha

Deep in the dark jungles of Africa
There is a goddess the natives call Bet-I-Cha

Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
(Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha)
It's a story that's told of a maid that never will fade
The tale of Bet-I-Cha
(Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha)
Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
She's the song of delight in the night the natives will sing to you
Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
The wise men say she's a spirit
Whose lover left long ago
But others say she's the music
Of lover's hearts all aglow
She may be moonlight so bright
Or soft winds sighin' at night
No matter where you may find her
She's one part close to your heart

Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha
(Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha, Bet-I-Cha)
It's a story that's told of a maid that never will fade
The tale of Bet-I-Cha

They sing of Bet-I-Cha
They sing of Bet-I-Cha
They sing of Bet-I-Cha
They sing of Bet-I-Cha

Better Than A Dream

So that's what you look like
At last I know
You're better better than a dream
What you are is better far better than a dream
Well I tried to picture your face
But now I see you you're out of this world you're out of this sphere you're
out
of that outer space
Better better than a dream
What is real is more ideal than a dream
To see and hear you to be so near you is better better than a dream

Can this be a dream
Can I still be asleep on the couch there
Can this girl be really here
She seems to know by sheer intuition how I landed in this condition
Or does she know me the way I think the way that I drink the fact that I slept
all year
But it's not a dream 'cause look I've got some words on the paper
Steady boy don't faint or scream
Don't ask who sent you this angel it's better better than a dream

The Big Blue Sky

Gonna fly fly away over the mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me

Got a gal out in Wyoming and a gal in Tennessee
One thing they got in common they want no part of me
Oh a girl here on earth is more trouble than she's worth
So I'll leave them all behind yesiree

Gonna fly fly away over the mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me

You will find me playing leap frog with the man up in the moon
Have myself a time each evening sleep each day 'til noon
And the bluebirds I'll bet let sing in their quartet
And we'll harmonize a barbershop too

Gonna fly fly away over the mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me

Gonna hobknob with the angels who would want a better crowd
Gonna dance all over heaven and boy will I be proud
Gonna play peek-a-boo with the stars up in the blue
And when I get tired I'll rest on a cloud

Gonna fly fly away over the mountain
Gonna fly fly away over the sea
Gonna keep flying around and never never come down
'Cause the big blue sky is the place I want to be
Gonna fly away over the sea
Yes the big blue sky is the place for me

Blue Smoke

Blue smoke goes drifting by
Into the deep blue sky
And when I think of home
I sadly sigh

Oh I can see you there
With loving tears in your eyes
As we finally said our last good byes

And as I sailed away with a longing to stay
I promised I'd be true and love only you

Blue smoke goes drifting by into the deep blue sky
My memories of home will never die

Blue smoke goes drifting by into the deep blue sky
My memories of home will never die

Bonne Nuit (Goodnight)

Bonne nuit goodnight
Just dream away
The dawn will light a bright new day
Be cheerful in your sleepy time prayer
The tearful never get anywhere so don't despair

Bonne nuit my love
Dream of the land
Where stars above fall in your hand
And some day we'll find this where and when
Bonne nuit 'til then

And some day we'll find this where and when
Bonne nuit goodnight 'til then

Born To Lose

Born to lose and now I'm losing you

Born to lose I lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you

Born to lose it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you there
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you

Born to lose and now I'm losing you

Brahms Lullaby

Lullaby and good night, with roses bestride,
With lilies bedecked. 'neath Baby's sweet bed.

May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest.
May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest.

Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight.
Bright angels around, my darling, shall guard.

They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms.
They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms.

Good evening, good night, covered with roses,
With tiny fingernails hidden, slipping under the blankets,

Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again.
Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again.

God evening, good night, watched over by tiny angels
Who show the little Christ Child's tree in dreams,

Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream's paradise.
Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream's paradise.

Buona Sera

Buona sera signorina buona sera
It is time to say goodnight to Napoli
Though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea
In the morning signorina we'll go walking
Where the mountains help the moon come in to sight
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger
In the meantime let me tell you that I love you
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight

(Buona sera signorina buona sera)
(It is time to say goodnight to Napoli)
Though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea

In the morning signorina we'll go walking
Where the mountains help the moon come in to sight
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger
In the meantime let me tell you that I love you
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight

Buttercup A Golden Hair

(Buttercup Buttercup Buttercup I love you)

Buttercup a golden hair
I'm feeling blue
Buttercup don't you know
I got to follow where you go
Buttercup I need you so
I love you
Buttercup a golden hair
My love is true
Buttercup can't you see
You mean the world to me
Buttercup a golly gee
I love you
Every night I dream and dream and dream and dream about you
Even when I sleep I cannot do without you
Oh tell me Buttercup a golden hair
What shall I do
Buttercup I know I'll die
If you should ever say goodbye
Buttercup oh my oh my do I love you
(Buttercup oh my oh my do I love you)
Buttercup oh my oh my do I love you

By The Time I Get To Phoenix

By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
'Cause I've left that gal so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall, that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly, call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so

She just didn't know I would really go

Canadian Sunset

Once I was alone
So lonely and then
You came out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hill

Cold cold as the wind
Warm warm were your lips
Out there on the ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrill

Weekend in Canada a change of scenery
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
I've found a love that I couldn't ignore

Down down came the sun
Fast fast beat my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part

Down down down down came the sun
Fast fast fast fast beat my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part

Down down down down came-a the sun
Fast fast fast fast beat-a my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part
We'd never part
We'd never part...

Captured

I tried to get away from your burning lips
I didn't want to play with your burning lips
I tried to get away from the flame but the flame tossed my heart
And I'm captured yes I'm captured
I'm enraptured by your charms
I can't hold out I've been sold out
By the thrills I found locked in your arms

The moment that our eyes met I realized
Another moment more and I'd be hypnotized
I tried to turn away from your eyes but your eyes held me fast
And I'm captured yes I'm captured

There is nothing I can do
I can't back track there's no track back
I am yours heaven open it's doors
And as I wandered through
(Captured by you)

Captured by you
(I couldn't get away get away from you)

Carolina In The Morning

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning
Where the morning glories twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more

Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning
Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each buttercup at dawning
If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day
I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say...

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning

Where the morning glories twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning
Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each buttercup at dawning

If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day
I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the AM
Carolina in the morning

Carolina Moon

Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon

Carolina moon keeps shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon I'm pining
Pining for the place I long to be

How I'm hoping tonight you go, go to the right window
Scatter your light say I'm all right please please do
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy dreamy Carolina moon

How I'm hoping tonight you go, go to the right window
Scatter your light say I'm all right please please do
Tell her that I'm blue and oh so lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon
Dreamy Carolina moon

Cha Cha Cha D'Amour

Cha cha cha d'amour
Take this song to my lover
Shoo shoo little bird
Go and find my love

Cha cha cha d'amour
Serenade at her window
Shoo shoo little bird
Sing my song of love

Tell her I will wait
But if she names the date
Tell her that I care
More than I can bear

When we are apart
How it hurts my heart
So fly away oh fly away
And say I hope and pray
This lover's melody will bring her back to me

Cha cha cha d'amour
Take this song to my lover
Shoo shoo little bird
Go and find my love

Cha cha cha d'amour
Serenade at her window
Shoo shoo little bird
Sing my song of love
Shoo shoo little bird
Tell her of my love

Change Of Heart

If the sky can change from cloudy to butterfly weather
And the ocean's roar becomes a lullaby
Why can't you why can't you love me
Have a change of heart and be my apple pie

Oh a leopard can't change his spots
And oil and water can't mix
But I have recently heard an old dog learned new tricks

If the icy winds that blast us in December
Can in April bring blossoms to the vine
Why can't you why can't you love me
Have a change of heart and be my valentine

Why can't you why can't you love me
Have a change of heart and be my apple pie
Oh a leopard can't change his spots
And oil and water can't mix
But I have recently heard an old dog learned new tricks

If the icy winds that blast us in December
Can in April bring blossoms to the vine
Why can't you why can't you love me
Have a change of heart and say that you'll be mine
Have a change of heart and say that you'll be mine
Have a change of heart and say that you'll be mine

Cheatin' On Me

Your cheatin' on me
Cheatin' on me
You're not the kind of a sweetheart I hoped you be
I trusted you thought you'd be true
My love was so strong that I went along
Never dreaming you do me so wrong
Love is a game and I played on the square
But you're the kind who can never play fair
I may forgive but sure as you live
Some day you're gonna be sorry oh you cheated on me

(Don't cry who lied I know all that you've done)
(Each butterfly has to pay for her fun)

I may forgive but sure as you live
Some day you're gonna be sorry you cheated on me
Hah little kidding
You're gonna be sorry sorry you cheated on me
(Cheatin' baby cheatin' baby)
(Both) You cheated on me

Chee Chee-oo Chee

(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Once on a tree top tall a little bird
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Sang out the sweetest song I ever heard

(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(He sang to me so merrily)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(The little birdie on the tree)

Life's such a lovely thing it seemed to say
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
If you'd only sing your cares away
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Chee chee-oo chee so merrily it went along
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Chee chee-oo chee so happily his little song
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
And so (and so) I sing (I sing)
Chee chee-oo chee the happy happy little thing

If you (if you) feel blue (feel blue)
Sing chee chee-oo chee and you can be as happy too
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Sing this happy little song
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Chee chee-oo chee
Chee chee-oo chee it sang to me so merrily
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)

Choo'n Gun

My mom gave me a nickel to buy a pickle
But I didn't buy a pickle I bought some choo'n gum
Chew chew chew choo'n gum
How I love choo'n gum
Well I'm crazy over choo'n gum
I chew chew chew

My aunt gave me a quarter
For soda water
But I didn't buy no water
I bought some choo'n gum
Chew chew chew choo'n gum
How I love choo'n gum
Well I'm crazy over choo'n gum
What can I do

I chew all day the way it seems
I'm even blowing bubbles in my dreams

My pop gave me a dollar
To buy a collar
Well you should have heard him holler
When I bought choo'n gum
Chew chew chew chew chew choo'n gum
How I love choo'n gum
I'm crazy over choo'n gum
I chew chew chew

I chew the day the way it seems
I'm even blowing bubbles in my dreams
My pop gave me a dollar
To buy a collar
Well you should have heard him holler
When I bought choo'n gum
Chew chew chew chew chew choo'n gum
How I love choo'n gum
I'm crazy over choo'n gum
I chew chew and chew

The Christmas Blues

The jingle bells are jingling
The streets are white with snow
The happy crowds are mingling
But there's no one that I know

I'm sure that you'll forgive me
If I don't enthuse
I guess I've got the Christmas blues

I've done my window shopping
There's not a store I've missed
But what's the use of stopping
When there's no one on your list
You'll know the way I'm feeling
When you love and you lose
I guess I've got the Christmas blues

When somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Christmas is a joy of joy
But friends when you're lonely
You'll find that it's only
A thing for little girls and little boys

May all your days be merry
Your seasons full of cheer
But 'til it's January
I'll just go and disappear
Oh Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me the blues
Those brightly packaged tinsel covered Christmas blues

Oh Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me the blues
Those brightly packaged tinsel covered Christmas blues

Come Running Back

If you find your new love isn't what you thought it would be
If your nights are lonely now and you need more sympathy
Baby, come running back to me
Come running back to me
Back to the arms that long to hold you forever and ever

If you find his lips don't thrill you like mine used to do
And you see me smiling at you when he's holding you
Baby, come running back to me
Come running back to me
Back to the arms that long to hold you forever and ever

If you realize that you were wrong to say goodbye
Don't allow your foolish pride to let true love go by
Baby, come running back to me
Come running back to me
Back to the arms that long to hold your forever and ever my love
Come running back
(Come running back)
Come running back
(Come running back)
Come running back

Confused

Confused, confused every time I'm lost in your arms
Confused, confused by the way my heart sounds alarm
Are all your dreams for me alone
Or is there one who shares my throne

Abused, misused, tell me why you must hurt me so
Oh it's wrong sweetheart you know
There may come the day
When I hear you say
That you too have been confused

(Confused, confused every time I'm lost in your arms
Confused, confused by the way my heart sounds alarm)

Abused, misused, tell me why you must hurt me so
Oh it's wrong sweetheart you know
There may come that day
When I hear you say
That you too have been confused

Crying Time

Oh it's crying time again,
you're gonna leave me,
I can see that far away look,
in your eyes
I can tell by the way you,
hold me darling
That it won't be long before,
it's crying time.

Now they say that absence makes,
the heart grow fonder,
And that tears are only rain,
to make love grow,
Well my love for you could never,
grow no stronger,
If I lived to be a,
hundred years old.

Oh it's crying time again,
you're gonna leave me,
I can see that far away look,
in your eyes.
I can tell by the way you,
hold me darling,
That it won't be long before,
it's crying time.

Now you say you've found someone,
you love better,
That's the way it's happened,
every time before,
And as sure as the sun,
comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you,
walk out the door

Oh it's crying time again,
you're gonna leave me,
I can see that far away look,
in your eyes...

Cuddle Up a Little Closer

Cuddle Up A Little Closer, Lovely Mine
Cuddle up a little closer, oh lovely mine
Cuddle up and be my little clinging vine
Like to feel your cheeks so rosy
Like to make you comfy cozy
Cuz I love from head to toesy
Lovely mine

Cuddle up a little closer, lovely mine
Cuddle up and be my little clinging vine
Like to feel your cheeks so rosy
Like to make you comfy cozy
Cuz I love from head to toesy
Lovely mine
