- Blue Canary
Blue canary, she feels so blue
She cries and sighs, she waits for you
Blue canary, the whole day long
She cries and tries to sing a song
Boy canary will sing a tango
He will sing a sweet lullaby
He will try to chase your blues away
- Blues In The Night
My mama done tol' me when I was in pigtails
My mama done tol' me, "Hon
A man's gonna sweet talk and give ya the big eye
But when the sweet talkin's done
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night"
- Buttons And Bows
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
- Carolina In The Morning
Wishing is good time wasted,
Still it's a habit they say;
Wishing for sweet's I've tasted,
That's all I do all day.
Maybe there's nothing in wishing,
But, speaking of wishing I'll say:
Nothing could be finer
- Chantez, Chantez
(chorus)
Chantez, Chantez, sing a little Paris song.
Chantez, Chantez, ev'rybody sing along.
Let's all sing when any little thing goes wrong,
Toodle oodle ay, toodle oodle oo.
Sing with me, merci beaucoup.
Toodle oodle oo, toodle oodle ay.
Ev'ryone Chantez.
- Dinah's Blues
I came here from Dixie, right from the solid south,
I came here from Dixie, right from the solid south,
I was happy down here, now I'm down in the mouth!
I was walkin' on air way down in Tennessee,
I say I was walkin' on air way down in Tennessee,
Now I'm floatin' on air through the courtesy of NBC.
- Honeysuckle Rose
Honey, honey,
Oh, honey, listen to my plea:
Every honeybee
Fills with jealousy,
When they see you out with me!
I don't blame them, goodness knows,
Oh, honey! suckle rose!
- I'll Walk Alone
I'll walk alone
Because 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
- It's all right with me
It's the wrong time and the wrong place
No your face is charming it's the wrong face
It not his face but such a charmin' face
That it's all right with me.
It's the wrong song with the wrong stile
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not his smile but such a lovely smile
- Jim
(Verse):
Why am I sitting alone tonight,
when I could be out where the lights are bright?
It's all because of Jim, It's all because of Jim.
Why am i wasting these precios years?
Why am I crying these bitter tears?
It's all because of Jim, It's all because of Jim.
- Mississippi Mud
When the sun goes down, the tide goes out,
The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout,
"Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud,
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud.
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud".
What a dance do they do!
Lordy, how I'm tellin' you
- Murder He Says
Finally found a fella
almost completely divine
but his vocabulary
is killing this romance of mine
We get into an intimate situation
and then begins this character's conversation
- My Buddy
Life is a book that we study
Some of its leaves bring a sigh
There it was written by a buddy
That we must part, you and I
Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy
- My Heart Cries For You
(My heart cries for you)
(Sighs for you, dies for you)
(And my arms long for you)
(Please come back to me)
If you're in Arizona, I'll follow you
If you're in Minnesota, I'll be there too
You'll have a million chances to start anew
- Sentimental Journey
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag, I got my reservation
Spend each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that "All aboard"
- Sleepy Lagoon
A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon and two on an island
A sleepy lagoon and two hearts in tune in some lullaby land
The fireflies' gleam reflects in the stream
They sparkle and shimmer
A star from on high falls out of the sky
And slowly grows dimmer
The leaves from the trees all dance in the breeze
And float on the ripples
- Sleigh Ride in July
If I were the type to play around
It wouldn't be so bad,
But I didn't know my way around
And what a time I had!
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July.
Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh.
A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune
- Someday Sweetheart
Someday, sweetheart,
You may be sorry
For what you've done
To my poor heart;
And you may regret
Those vows that you've broken,
And the things that you did to me
That made us drift apart.
- Something To Remember You By
Oh, give me something to remember you by
When you are far away from me, dear
Some little something, meaning love can not die,
No matter where you chance to be.
Though I'll pray for you, night and day for you;
It will see me through like a charm,
Till you're returning.
- Sweet Violets
Sweet violets, sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets
There once was a farmer who took a young miss
In back of the barn where he gave her a lecture
On horses and chickens and eggs
And told her that she has such beautiful manners
- Tess's Torch Song
I had a man
He was a good man
That is, you see, what I mean is
I thought he was a good man
I had a friend
She was a good friend
I told my friend about my man
- The Gentleman Is a Dope
The boss gets on my nerves;
I've got a good mind to quit.
I've taken all I can;
It's time to get up and git,
And move to another job
Or maybe another town.
The gentleman burns me up,
The gentleman gets me down.
- Two Silhouettes
Two silhouettes
Together in the afterglow
Two silhouettes
Become as one when lights are low
And with the night slumbering on
We'll build a dream for two
A perfect dream
Set to a theme lovely as you
- Why Don't You Fall In Love With Me
As long as you're not in love with anyone else,
Why don't you fall in love with me,
You're drivin' me crazy, baby, try to be gay
Will you tell me no, or will you tell me yea,
You gotta go overboard for someone someday
Believe it or not, it's bound to be
As long as you're not in love with anyone else,
- You Keep Coming Back Like a Song
You keep comin' back like a song
A song that keeps saying, "Remember"
The sweet used-to-be that was once you and me
Keeps comin' back like an old melody
The perfume of roses in May
Returns to my room in December
From out of the past, where forgotten things belong
You keep comin' back like a song
- Younger Than Springtime
Younger than springtime are you,
Softer than starlight are you;
Warmer than winds of June are the gentle lips you gave me.
Gayer than laughter are you,
Sweeter than music are you;
Angel and lover, heaven and earth,
Are you to me.
- Голубая канарейка
Blue canary, she feels so blue
She cries and sighs, she waits for you
Blue canary, the whole day long
She cries and tries to sing a song
Boy canary will sing a tango
He will sing a sweet lullaby
He will try to chase your blues away
