HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN

so let's sing a song of cheer again

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN
altogether shout it now

so let's tell the world about it now
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN
your cares and troubles are gone
there'll be no more from now on from now on...
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN

Happy times Happy nights Happy days Are here again!

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


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

I'M LOOKING OVER A FOUR LEAF CLOVER

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

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

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
and be happy again
keep on smiling, keep on smilin'
and the whole world smiles with you

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

Put Your Arms Around Me Honey

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

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
there's nothin' I couldn’t do
IF I HAD YOU
I could be a king dear uncrowned
humble or poor rich or renowned
I could change the gray clouds to blue
IF I HAD YOU

I could climb a snow-capped mountain
sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
IF I HAD YOU  you by my side
I could leave the old days behind
leave all my pals I'd never mind
there's nothin' I wouldn't do
IF I HAD YOU

o we ain't got a barrel of money

maybe we're ragged and funny

but we'll travel along

singing a songs

SIDE BY SIDE

don't know what's comin' 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 sky should fall?
just as long as we're together
it doesn't matter at all
when they've all had their quarrels & parted
we'll be the same as we started
just a-traveling along singing a song SIDE BY SIDE


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

WHEN THE RED RED ROBIN COMES BOB BOB BOBBIN’ ALONG along

there'll be no more sobbin'
when he starts throbbin' his old sweet song
wake up wake up you sleepy head
get up get up get out of bed
cheer up cheer up the sun is red
live love laugh and be happy
what if I were blue now I'm walking thru fields of flowers
rain may glisten but still I listen  for hours & 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.

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

SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME
I'm tired & I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
and it's gone straight up to my head
where ever I may roam
on land or sea or foam
you will always hear me singing this song
SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME

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

SOME OF THESE DAYS
you're gonna miss me, baby
some of these days you'll feel so lonely
you're gonna miss my huggin' you'll miss my kissin'
you may even miss me, baby, when I'm gone away
you're gonna feel lonely and want me only
'cause you know, honey you always got your way
say baby if you really want me, oh yeah
you know it's gonna grieve me
you're gonna miss your boney little daddy
cause one of these days

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

I'm THE SHEIK OF ARABY

at nights when you're asleep
into your tent I creep
the stars that shine above
will light our way to love

my old man  said foller the van

and DON’T DILLY DALLY ON THE WAY
off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it
I walked be'ind wiv me old cock linnet

lost me way and don't know where to roam
you can't trust a special like the old-time copper
when you can't find your way home.

All I Do Is Dream Of You

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


If I had a talking picture of you
I would run it every time I felt blue
I would sit there in the gloom
of my lonely little room A
nd applaud each time you whispered, "I love you; love you."
On the screen the moment you came in view
We would talk the whole thing over, we two
I would give ten shows a day
and a midnight matinee
If I had a talking picture of you.

  come to me MY MELANCHOLY BABY
cuddle up and don't be blue

while I kiss away each tear
or else I shall be melancholy too.

Home Town


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

It's only a shanty
In Old Shanty Town
the roof is so slanty
it touches the ground
there's a tumbledown shack
by the old railway track
like a millionaire's mansion
it's calling me back
I'd give you a palace if I were a king
It's more than a palace it's my everything
there's a queen waiting there
in a silvery crown
in a shanty in old shanty town.

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

Heart Of My Heart

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

Underneath The Arches we dream our dreams away
underneath the arches on cobblestones we lay
evernight you'll find us tired out and worn
happy when the day light comes creeping
heralding the dawn
sleeping when it's raining and sleeping when it's fine
train rattling by above
pavement is our pillow no matter where we stray
underneath the arches we dream our dreams away.

Three O'Clock In The Morning

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

After The Ball is over
after the break of morn
after the dancers' leaving
after the stars have gone
many a heart is aching
if you could read them all
many a hope that has vanished
after the ball.

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

It Had To Be You it had to be you
I wondered around and suddenly found
the somebody who
would make me blue
would make me feel glad
and even be sad
some others I've seen
might never be mean
might never be cross
or try to be boss
but they wouldn't do
for nobody else gave me that thrill
with all your faults I love you still
it had to be you wonderful you it had to be you.

I'll Get By

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

I'll String Along With You

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

 I'll Be Seeing You in all the old familiar places
that this heart of mine embraces all life thru
in the small cafe the behind
the chestnut tree the wishing well
I'll be seeing you in every bright and gay
I'll always feel like way
I'll and when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
but I'LL BE SEEING YOU.

Five Foot Two, Eyes Of Blue

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


I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles pretty bubbles in the air
they go so high almost reach the skies
then like my dreams they fade and die
fortune's always hiding I look everywhere
I'm forever blowing bubbles pretty bubbles in the air.

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

Ain't She Sweet see her coming down the street

and now I ask you very confidentially
