I'M TWENTY-ONE TODAY
twenty-one today
I've got the key to the door
never been twenty-one before
& pa says I can do as I like
so shout hip, hip, hooray
he's a jolly good fellow,
twenty-one today.

when there's somebody who

you can cuddle up to

AIN'T THAT A GRAND and GLORIOUS FEELING?

when you're huggin' him therein that cozy old chair, oh boy,
AIN'T THAT A GRAND and GLORIOUS FEELING? 
every little kiss
does you so much good
you're so full of bliss
you just feel like knocking wood
& when you naturally guess
that he's gonna say yes
AIN'T THAT A GRAND and GLORIOUS FEELING?

come on & hear, come on and hear
ALEXANDER’S RAGTIME BAND

that's just the bestest band what am, honey lamb
come on along, come on along
let me take you by the hand
up to the man, up to the man
who's the leader of the band
and if you care to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime

ALEXANDER’S RAGTIME BAND.

ANY OLD IRON ANY OLD IRONY  any any any old iron
you look sweet
talk about a treat
you look dapper from yer napper to yer feet
dressed in style
with a brand new tile
and your father's old green ties on
o I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch chain
old iron old iron


******************

You must remember this
a kiss is just a kiss
a sigh is just a sigh
the fundamental things remain
as times goes by

***************************************

BABY FACE, you've got the cutest little BABY FACE
there's not another one to take your place
BABY FACE my whole heart was jumpin'
you sure have started something
BABY FACE I'm up in heaven when I'm in your firm embrace
I didn't need a shove for I just fell in love
with your pretty little BABY FACE



  ***********

BLESS’EM ALL bless 'em all
the long & the short and the tall
bless all those sergeants and WO1's
bless all those corporals and their blinkin' sons
cos' we're saying goodbye to 'em all
and back to their billets they crawl
you'll get no promotion
this side of the ocean
so cheer up my lads bless 'em all

***********

BRING ME SUNSHINE in your smile

bring me laughter all the while
in this world where we live there should be more happiness
so much joy you can give to each brand new bright tomorrow
make me happy thru the years
never bring me any tears
let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above
bring me fun bring me sunshine bring me love.
bring me sunshine in your eyes
bring me rainbows from the skies,
life's too short to be spent having anything but fun
we can be so content if we gather little sunbeams
be light-hearted all day long,
keep me singing happy songs

let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above

bring me fun bring me sunshine bring me love.

east is east and west is west and the wrong one I have chose
let's go where I'll keep on wearin' those frills and flowers and BUTTONS and BOWS
rings and things and buttons and bows don't bury me in this prairie
take me where the cement grows let's move down to some big town
where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes and I'll stand out in BUTTONS and BOWS

By The Light Of The Silvery Moon
I want to spoon
to my lover I'll croon sweet tune

************************

11

Pack up all your cares and woes
here I go singing low
BYE BYE BLACKBIRDwhere somebody waits for me
sugar sweet so is she
BYE BYE BLACKBIRD
noone here loves or understands me
oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
make my bed and light a light
I'll arrive late tonight
blackbird bye bye


*********************************************

12

CALIFORNIA, HERE I COME,
right back where I started from
where bowers of flowers bloom in the sun
each morning at dawning birdies sing at ev'rything
a sun-kissed miss said, don't be late
that's why I can hardly wait
open up your golden gate
CALIFORNIA, HERE I COME.


***********************************

13

DADDY WOULDN'T BUY ME A BOW WOW I have a little cat
and I'm very fond of that
but I rather have a bow wow wow

***********************

14

Daisy Daisy give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
it won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
but you'll look sweet upon a seat
of a bicycle built for two.

********************

15

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental,
But DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND
a kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
on your humble flat -- or help you at the automat
men grow cold as girls grow old
and we all lose our charms in the end
but square-cut or pear-shaped
these rocks don't lose their shape
DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND

******************************

16

My old man said feller the van
but DON'T DILLY DALLY ON THE WAY
with my van  my old cock linnet
but I dillied and dallied
I dallied and dillied
lost the way and don't know where to roam
you can't trust the specials like the old time coppers
when you can't find your way home.

***************************************

17

come come come and make eyes at me
Down At The Old Bull And Bush
do do have some port wine with me
down at the Old Bull and Bush
hear the little German band
da da
just hold me close to you
do do have a drink or two
down at the old Bull and Bush.

***********************

18


five foot two eyes of blue
but o what those five foot could do
HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY GAL?
turned up nose and turned down hose
never had another beau
HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY GAL?
now if you run into five foot two covered with fur
diamond ring and all those things
bet your life it isn't hers
could she love could she woo
could she love could she coo
HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY GAL



***************************



19

I'M GETTIN' MARRIED IN THE MORNING
ding-dong the bells are gonna chime
pull out the stopper
let's have a whopper
but get me to the church on time
I got to be there in the morning
spruced up and lookin' in me prime
girls come and kiss me
show how you'll miss me
but get me to the church on time
if I am dancing roll up the floor
If I am whistling right out the door
I'M GETTIN' MARRIED IN THE MORNING 
Ding-ding the bells are gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus
but don't lose your compass
Get me to the church, get me to the church
for God's sake, get me to the church on time






20

Hands Knees And Boomps-A-Daisy

HOLD YOUR HAND OUT NAUGHTY BOY

************************

o I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE
I do like to be beside the sea
I do like to stroll upon the prom prom prom
where the silly brass band plays
tiddledy tom tom tom
so just let me be beside the seaside
I'll be beside myself with glee
and there's lots of girls beside
I will like to be besides
beside the seaside beside the sea

*********************

27

IF YOU KNEW SUSIE LIKE I KNOW SUSIE oh oh oh what a girl

there's none so classy as this fair lassie

oh oh holy Moses what a chassis

we went riding, she didn't balk

back from Yonkers

I'm the one that had to walk

IF YOU KNEW SUSIE LIKE I KNOW SUSIE

oh oh what a girl

I'M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES
pretty bubbles in the air
they reach so high almost reach the sky
then like my dreams they fade and die
fortune's always
I look everywhere
I'M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES
pretty bubbles in the air.

29)

I'M LOOKING OVER
A FOUR-LEAF CLOVER that I overlooked before
one leaf is sunshine
the second is rain
the third is the roses that grow in the lane
no need explaining the one remaining
it's somebody I adore
I'M LOOKING OVER
A FOUR-LEAF CLOVER that I overlooked before.

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 I know
goodbye Piccadilly
farewell Leicester square
it's a long long way to Tipperary
but my heart's right there.

I'VE GOT A LOVELY BUNCH OF COCONUTS there they are all standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I'VE GOT A LOVELY BUNCH OF COCONUTS
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts (they’re lovely)
There they are all standing in a row (one, two, three, four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head (and bigger)
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (all together now)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (harmony)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch

don't forget to wake me in the morning
& bring me 'round a nice hot cup of tea
KISS ME GOODNIGHT SERGEANT MAJOR

33) Knees Up Mother Brown - Piano Singalong
34) She's my lily
she is my dove my lady love
she's the one for sitting down to drea
she's the only queen Laguna knows
I know because she says so
she is my LILY OF LAGUNA
she is my lily and my rose.

***************************************

35

LOVE AND MARRIAGE LOVE AND MARRIAGEGo together like a horse and carriage.
This I tell ya, brother, you can't have one without the other.
LOVE AND MARRIAGE LOVE AND MARRIAGEIt's an institute you can't 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 only come to this conclusion:
LOVE AND MARRIAGE LOVE AND MARRIAGEGo together like a horse and carriage.
Dad was told by mother you can't have one
You can't have none.
You can't have one without the other.




36


MA, HE’S MAKING EYES AT ME
ma he's awful nice to me
ma he's almost breaking my heart
I'm beside him
mercy let his conscience guide him
ma he wants to marry me
be my honey bee
every minute he gets bolder
now he's leaning on my shoulder
ma he's kissing me.

*****************************

37

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M A LONDONER
that I love London so
maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
that I think of her wherever I go
I get a funny feeling inside of me
just walking up and down
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M A LONDONER
that I love London town.

ON MOTHER KELLY'S DOORSTEP
down Paradise row
I'd sit along to Nellie, she'd sit along to Joe
she's got a whole in the frock
a hole in the shoe
a hole in the sock
where a toe peeps thru
but Nellie was the smartest down our alley
ON MOTHER KELLY'S DOORSTEP I'm wondering now
if little gal Nellie remembers Joe, her beau
and does she love me as she used to
On mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise row.

*************************

39

PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES IN YOUR OLD KIT BAG

while you've a lucifer to light your fag
smile boys that's the style
what's the use of worrying
it never was worthwhile --so
PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES IN YOUR OLD KIT BAG
and smile smile smile.

***************************





40



POWDER YOUR FACE WITH SUNSHINE
put on a great big smile
make up your eyes with laughter
folks will be laughing with you in a little while
whistle a tune of gladness
blue never was in style
the future's brighter when hearts are lighter
so SMILE SMILE SMILE




*************************

41

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.
CHE SERA SERA
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
 CHE SERA SERA
What will be, will be.
When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.
CHE SERA SERA
 Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
 CHE SERA SERA
What will be, will be.
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.
CHE SERA SERA
 Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
 CHE SERA SERA
What will be, will be.

ROLL OUT THE BARREL we'll have a barrel of fun
roll out the barrel let's get the blues on the run
sing boom tarara

now's the time to roll out the barrel
now the gang's all here.

43)

shine on SHINE ON HARVEST MOON

up in the sky
I ain't have no loving
since January February june or July
show time ain't no time to stay
outdoors and spoon
so shine on SHINE ON HARVEST MOON for me and my girl

44)

SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I've had a little drink about an hour ago
and it's all gone to my head
wherever I may roam
over land or sea or foam
you will always hear me singing this song
SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME.
45)

O we ain't got a barrel of money
maybe we're rugged and funny
but we'll travel along singing a song
SIDE BY SIDE don't know what's coming tomorrow
maybe it's trouble and sorrow
but we'll travel the road
sharing our load
SIDE BY SIDE thru all kinds of weather
what if the skies should fall
just as long as we're together
it doesn't matter at all when they all had their quarrels and parted
we'll be the same as we started
just trav'ling along singing a song
SIDE BY SIDE.

************************************

46

in the blue ridge mountains of Virginia
ON THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE
in the pale moonshine our hearts entwine
where she carved her name & I carved mine
o June like the mountains I'm blue
like the pine I am lonesome for you
in the blue ridge mountains of Virginia
ON THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE





49)

THERE'LL BE BLUEBIRDS OVER
THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER
tomorrow when the world is free
there'll be love and laughter
and peace everafter
tomorrow when the world is free.

Tiptoe by the garden by the window
thru the window, that is where I'd be
come TIPTOE THRU THE TULIPS
tiptoe thru the window
by the window
to the shadow of the willow tree
and TIPTOE THRU THE TULIPS with me
knee deep in flowers we'll stray
we'll keep the showers away
and if you kiss me in the garden
in the moonlight will I pardon me
come TIPTOE THRU THE TULIPS with me

***************************


51

UNDERNEATH THE ARCHES we dream our dreams away
UNDERNEATH THE ARCHES on cobblestones we lay
everyday you'll find us tired out and worn
happy when the daylight comes creeping
heralding the dawn
sleeping when it's raining
and sleeping when it's fine
train driving up above
pavement is our pillow
no matter where we stray
UNDERNEATH THE ARCHES we dream our dreams away.

*************************************

52

WE'LL MEET AGAIN don't know where don't know when
but I know WE'LL MEET AGAIN some sunny day
keep smiling thru just like you always do
till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
so will you please say hello
to the folks that I know
tell them I won't be long
they'll be happy to know
that as you saw me go
I was singing this song.

*****************************

53

WE'RE GONNA HANG OUT THE WAHING ON THE SIEGFRIED LINE
have you any dirty washing mother dear
we're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
for the washing day is here
the weather the weather may be wet or fine
we just ride along without a care
WE'RE GONNA HANG OUT THE WASHING ON THE SIEGFRIED LINE if the Siegfried line's still there.


54)

WHEN THE RED RED ROBIN COMES BOB BOB BOBBIN' ALONG along
there'll be no more sorrow when he starts throbbin his own old song
wake up you sleepy head
cheer up
what if I've been blue now I'm walking in fields
of flowers
rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours
I'm just a kid again doing what I did again
singing a song
WHEN THE RED RED ROBIN COMES BOB BOB BOBBIN ALONG

55)
WHEN YOU’RE SMILING
when you’re smiling
THE WHOLE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU
when you're laughing when you're laughin'

the sun comes shining  thru
but when you're crying you bring on the rain

so stop your sighing &  be happy again
keep on smiling, keep on smilin'
& the whole world smiles with you



***********************************

56)

WISH ME LUCK AS YOU WAVE ME GOOD-BYE
cheerio, here I go, on my way
WISH ME LUCK AS YOU WAVE ME GOODBYE
not a tear, but a cheer, make it gay
give me a smile I can keep all the while
in my heart while I'm away
'till we meet once again, you & I
WISH ME LUCK AS YOU WAVE ME GOODBYE.

******************************

57

YES SIR THAT'S MY BABY
no sir don't mean maybe no sir
that's my baby now
by the way
when we meet the preacher I'll say

*******************************

58 


YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE my only sunshine

you'll never know dear how much I love you
please don't take my sunshine away



******************************





59)

YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU

I didn't want to do it
You mad me love you and all the time I knew it
I guess you always knew it

you know you got the kind of kisses
that I long for you know
YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU.


**********************************************

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY 
you must have been a wonderful child
when you were only starting
to go to kindergarten
I bet you made the little kids sigh
& when it came to winning ribbons
you must have showed the other kids how
I can see the judges' eyes
as they handed you the prize
you must have made the cutest bow
o YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY
for baby look at you know.
