Oh the Blackpool Belle was a getaway train that went from Northern stations
What a beautiful sight on a Saturday night bound for the illuminations
No mothers and dads just girls and lads young and fancy free
Out for the laughs on the Golden Mile at Blackpool by the sea
I remember - very well
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle
I remember them pals of mine, when I ride the Blackpool line
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle
Little Piggy Greenfield he was there he thought he was mighty slick
He bought a hat on the Golden Mile the hat said "Kiss Me Quick"
Piggy was a lad for all the girls but he drank too much beer
He made a pass at a Liverpool lass and she pushed him off the pier
I remember - very well
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle
I remember them pals of mine, when I ride the Blackpool line
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle
Ice Cream Sally could never settle down she lived for her Knickerbocker glories
Till she clicked with a bloke who said he was broke but she loved his Ice cream stories
Sally took it all in with a smile and a grin she fell for sailor Jack
They went for a trip to the Isle of Man and never did come back
I remember - very well
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle
I remember them pals of mine, when I ride the Blackpool line
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle
Some of us went up the Blackpool Tower and others in the Tunnel of Love
A few made off to the Blackpool sands under the pier above
There was always a rush at the midnight hour, but we made it just the same
And I made off with a Liverpool lass, but I never could remember her name
I remember - very well
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle
I remember them pals of mine, when I ride the Blackpool line
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle
Now the Blackpool Belle has a thousand tales if they could all be told
Many of these I will recall as I am growing old
They were happy days and I miss the times we'd pull the curtains down
And the Passion Wagon would steam back home and we would go to town
I remember - very well
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle
I remember them pals of mine, when I ride the Blackpool line
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle
Colours
Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair,
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
Green's the colour of the sparklin' corn,
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
Blue's the colour of the sky-y,
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
Mellow is the feeling that I get,
When I see her, m-hmm,
When I see her, oh yeah.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
Freedom is a word I rarely use,
Without thinking, oh yeah,
Without thinking, m-hmm.
Of the time, of the time,
When I've been loved.
Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair,
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
Secrets of the Wind
Ocean mist and desert sand,
Whispers from a distant land all swirling round from a time so long ago;
Tiny scraps and fragile seeds,
Flying with the memories of people we will never see or know;
Secrets of the wind are blowing through
Listen well my friend and find a few long forgotten stories
And tales that still ring true,
Secrets of the wind are blowing through.
Tales of knights and heroes brave,
Legends from the ancient days full of mysteries, philosophies and clues;
Lessons learned and wisdom gained,
Questions asked, things explained with answers we still seek and timeless truths.
Secrets of the wind are blowing through
Listen well my friends and find a few long forgotten stories
And tales that still ring true,
Secrets of the wind are blowing through.
Listen all around, and wisdom can be found;
Secrets of the wind are blowing through.
As tears go by
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by
As long as I have music
When the world seems for beyond me,
and I have no place to go.
When my life seems cold and empty,
and I feel I'm all alone.
Then a song that I remember
helps to ease my troubled mind,
and I find the strength within me
to reach out just one more time.
For as long as I have music,
as long as there's a song for me to sing,
I can find my may, I can see a brighter day.
The music in my life will set my spirit free.
When the road is dark and lonely
and I feel I want to cry.
When the dreams I keep inside me
seem to fade and almost die.
Then I call upon my music,
and it helps to dry me tears.
And I know that I can make it.
I'll go on despite my fears.
For as long as I have music,
as long as there's a song for me to sing,
I can find my may, I can see a brighter day.
The music in my life will set my spirit free.
"The Carnival Is Over"
Say goodbye my own true lover
As we sing a lovers song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
High above the dawn is waiting
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
God on high, hear my prayer
In my need, you have always been there
He is young, he's afraid
Let him rest, heaven blessed
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summers die, one by one
How soon they fly, on and on
And I am old and will be gone
Bring him peace, bring him joy
He is young, he is only a boy
You can take, you can give
Let him be, let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
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
Through 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 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
Through 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, sweet love
Bring me fun
Bring me sunshine
Bring me Love
Hey!
I can't seem to get my sleep now any old night,
Mr Sandman passes by my door;
Life has changed since you've been there to say it's alright,
You taught me to understand what I thought couldn't be,
Don't mind missing sleep if I can see:
Colours of my life,
You've got love to fill my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours blend with love to show I'm happy with you,
I can never be the same again;
Now my eyes are looking past the life that I knew,
I'll be shedding black and grey to take on red and blue,
Colours I can feel by touching you:
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Let it be
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
Flying Free
There is a place I call my own
Where I can stand by the sea
And look beyond the things I've known
And dream that I might be free.
Like the bird above the trees
Gliding gently on the breeze
I wish that all my life I'd be
Without a care and Flying Free.
But life is not a distant sky
Without a cloud, without rain
And I can never hope that I
Can travel on without pain
Time goes swiftly on its way
All too soon we've lost today
I cannot wait for skies of blue
Or dream so long that life is through
So life's a song I must sing
A gift of love I must share
And when I see the joy it brings
My spirits soar through the air
Like that bird up in the sky
Life has taught me how to fly
For now I know what I can be
And now my heart is Flying Free!
That Old Soft Shoe
The raining day rhythm is calling to me,
Rain is falling as far as the eye can see;
The rainy day rhythm is calling to you,
To kick back with that old soft shoe.
The extended invitation;
Join the celebration and dance
Rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To the tintinnabulation of the day’s precipitation
Won’t you take advantage of the chance?
Oh that rainy day rhythm is calling to me
Rain is falling s far as the eye can see
The rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To kick back with that old soft shoe.
INSTRUMENTAL
Oh that rainy day rhythm is calling to me
Rain is falling s far as the eye can see
The rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To kick back with that old .............
That old soft shoe
Rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To kick back with that old soft shoe.
The Water Is Wide
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
A ship there is and sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
And I know not how I sink or swim
When love is young and love is fine
It's like a gem when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
There's a new world somewhere
They call the promised land
And I'll be there someday
If you could hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you
There is always someone
For each of us, they say
And you'll be my someone
Forever and a day
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I'll never find another you
It's a long, long journey
So stay by my side
You'll be my guide, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune
My pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
Another you, another you
Island of Dreams
I wandered the streets and the gay crowded places
Trying to forget you but somehow it seems
My thoughts ever stray to our last sweet embraces
Over the sea on the island of dreams
High in the sky is the bird on the wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander where memories infold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
High in the sky is the bird on the wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander where memories infold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
Far far away on the island of dreams
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I'm not afraid, this rover's 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
I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid, this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I'll still be rich as rockefeller
There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
April, come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May, she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June, she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August, die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September, I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old
Star of the County Down
Near Banbridge town in the County Down
One morning last July
Down a boreen green, came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so neat from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Sure the coaxing elf, I’d to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I’ve seen like the sweet colleen
That I met in the County Down
As she onward sped, sure I shook me head
And I gazed with a feeling rare
And I said, says I, to a passer-by
Who’s the maid with the nut brown hair ?
He smiled at me and with pride says he
That’s the gem of old Ireland’s crown
She’s Rosie Mc Cann from the banks of the Bann
She’s the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I’ve seen like the sweet colleen
That I met in the County Down
I travelled a bit but I never was hit
Since my roving career began
But fair and square, I surrendered there
To the charms of young Rose McCann
With a heart to let and no tenant yet
Did I meet with a shawl or gown
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I’ve seen like the sweet colleen
That I met in the County Down
At the harvest fair, she'll be surely there
So I’ll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
For a smile from the nut brown rose
No pipe I’ll smoke, no horse I’ll yoke
Though my plough with the rust turns brown
’til a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I’ve seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down
I ain't gonna marry in the fall
And I ain't gonna marry in the spring
For I'm in love with a pretty girl
Who wears a diamond ring.
For I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
Gold in the mornin' sun
Gold in the mornin' sun.
I'm Never gonna kiss
The ruby red lips
Of the prettiest girl in town
Never gonna ask her if she'd
Marry me
'Cause I know she'd turn me down.
For I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the mornin' sun
Gold in the mornin' sun.
I never could afford
A store bought ring
With a sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford
Is a loving heart
The only one I own.
For I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the mornin' sun
Gold in the mornin' sun...
This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side
What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you're only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant
I see you on the street and in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day
I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care
She said that living with me
Is bringing her down yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care
I don't know why she's ridin' so high
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me
I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away, yeah
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care
I don't know why she's ridin' so high
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me
She said that living with me
Is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around
Ah, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care
My baby don't care, my baby don't care
My baby don't care, my baby don't care
My baby don't care, my baby don't care
Fields of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
Walked in fields of gold
Children are people who live in a land
Made of raindrops and puddles and pebbles and streams
Silently watching a twig as it sails
On a clear crystal pool to an island of dreams
There go a pair who have just built a city of mud
And it's real
They know that mud doesn't look very pretty
But ooh, how it feels
This little boy greets the snow with a smile
That little girl has discovered an isle made out of pillows
One little fellow is friends with the wind in the willows
All of them children and all are mysterious people
I can remember when I was a boy
That my bed was a ship that I sailed through the night
And I remember the world as a place
That was eager and loving and shiny and bright
Where is the boy who was friends with the rainbow
And once rode upon
Where is that shy and mysterious person
Oh where have I gone
I can remember I once said my prayers
But now I stand by while my children say theirs
Watching them kneeling
And I could cry that one day they'll forget
All that they're feeling
Oh, what a shame that our children should grow into peo... ple
Leaving of Liverpool
Farewell to Princes' landing stage River Mersey fare thee well
I am bound for California, a place I know right well
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
I have sailed with Burgess once before, I think I know him well
If a man's a sailor he will get along, if not then he's sure in hell
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
Farewell to Lower Frederick Street, Anson Terrace and Park Lane
I am bound away for to leave you and I'll never see you again
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
I am bound for California by way of stormy Cape Horn
And I will write to thee a letter, love, when I am homeward bound
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
I've shipped on a Yankee clipper ship, "Davy Crockett" is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her and they say that she's a floating hell
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
Come the Day
I know that one day soon a song shall rise;
You'll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes,
You'll waken to a brand new day,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?
A time when every man will be as one,
A time to reach right out and touch the sun,
Come the day.
Freedom's still a thought within your mind,
The fleeting thing that some may never find,
It may be still a million miles away,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?
A time to live without doubt or fear,
Welcome to the happy world that will be here
Come the day.
The trumpets of war will cease to blow
The sound I hope that we may never know
We're waiting for the day,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?
Lift up your voices and sing this song,
Let the whole world hear it loud and strong,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they`re here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I`m not half the man I used to be
there`s a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don`t know she wouldn`t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm............
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
.........................................
Of the new day.
Kentucky Woman
The music of the Night
Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation.
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defences...
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender.
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night...
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before.
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you.
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you.
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight
the darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me.
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in,
To the harmony which dreams alone can write,
The power of the music of the night!
You alone can make my song take flight,
Help me make the music of the night.
I'll wager a hat full of guineas
Against all the songs you can sing,
That some day you'll love,
And the next day you'll lose,
And winter will turn into spring.
And the snow falls, the wind calls,
The year turns round again.
And like Barleycorn who rose from the grave,
A new year will rise up again.
And there will come a time of great plenty,
A time of good harvest and sun.
Till then put your trust in tomorrow, my friend,
For yesterday's over and done.
Ploughed, sown, reaped, and mown:
The year turns round again.
And like Barleycorn who rose from the grave
A new year will rise up again.
Phoebe arise, a gleam in her eyes,
And the year turns round again.
And like Barleycorn who rose from the grave,
A new year will rise up again.
walking in the air
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:
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home.
Overseas there came a pleading,
"Help a nation in distress."
And we gave our glorious laddies—
Honour made 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".
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home.
Lullaby of Broadway
Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I’m taking you to
Forty Second Street!
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo
The lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of a subway train
The rattle of the taxis
The daffodils 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, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Hey
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hi-de-hi and hoo-de-hoo
The lullaby of Broadway
The band begins to go to town
And everyone goes crazy
You rock a bye your baby round
Till everything gets hazy
"Hush a bye, I'll buy you this and that"
You hear a daddy saying
And baby goes home to her flat
To sleep all day
Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Listen to the lullaby
Of old Broadway
Somewhere beyond the sea
somewhere waiting for me
my lover stands on golden sands
and watches the ships that go sailin
Somewhere beyond the sea
she's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
then straight to her arms I'd go sailin'
It's far beyond the stars
it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
my heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
we'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
and never again I'll go sailin'
I know beyond a doubt
my heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
and never again I'll go sailin'
no more sailin'
no more sailin'
"It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow"
It's a lovely day tomorrow
Tomorrow is a lovely day
Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes
On tomorrow's clear blue skies
If today your heart is weary
If ev'ry little thing looks grey
Just forget your troubles and learn to say
Tomorrow is a lovely day
It's a lovely day tomorrow
Tomorrow is a lovely day
Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes
On tomorrow's clear blue skies
If today your heart is weary
If ev'ry little thing looks grey
Just forget your troubles and learn to say
Tomorrow is a lovely day
The Rhythm of Life
When I started down the street last Sunday
Feeling mighty low and kind-a mean,
Suddenly a voice said “Go forth neighbour!
Spread the picture on a wider screen!”
And the voice said “Neighbor there’s a million reasons
Go go go
Why you should be glad in all four seasons!
Go go go
Hit the road neighbour, leave your worries and strife!
Tell them ev- ry-
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life!”
Thing you know!
For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street,
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!
For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
to feel the rhythm of life
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!
to feel the powerful beat
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street,
(to feel the tingle in your fingers)
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!
(to feel the tingle in your feet)
For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
to feel the rhythm of life
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!
to feel the powerful beat
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street,
(to feel the tingle in your fingers)
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!
(to feel the tingle in your feet)
Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee;
Take a walkie talkie to Rocky Ridge!
All the way to Canton, then to Scranton,
Even tell it under the Manhatton Bridge.

Flip your wings and fly up high
Flip your wings and fly up high
Flip your wings and fly up high
Fly, fly, fly up high
You can do it if you try
You can do it if you try
You can do it if you try
Try, try, try to fly!

Neighbor you’ve got the rhythm of life
Of life, of life, or life,
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Life!
She is watching by the poplars, Colinette with the sea-blue eyes,
She is watching and longing, and waiting Where the long white roadway lies,
And a song stirs in the silence, As the wind in the boughs above,
She listens and starts and trembles, 'Tis the first little song of love.
Roses are shining in Picardy, In the hush of the silver dew,
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy, But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime, And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy, 'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart
And the years fly on forever, Till the shadows veil their skies,
But he loves to hold her little hands, And look into her sea-blue eyes,
And she sees the road by the poplars, Where they met in the bygone years,
For the first little song of the roses, Is the last little song she hears:
Roses are shining in Picardy, In the hush of the silver dew,
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy, But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime, And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy, 'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart
There’s a somebody I’m longing to see,
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me.
I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood,
I hope I could
Always be good
To one who’ll watch over me.
Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome,
To my heart he carries the key,
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed,
Follow my lead,
Oh how I need
Someone to watch over me.
Some day 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;
And 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 on day,
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
He’ll build a little home,
Just meant for two,
From which I’ll never roam,
Who would, would you?
And so all else above,
I’m waiting for the man I love.
I’ve got a crush on you, sweetiepie,
All the day and night-time hear me sigh,
I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion,
Could you coo?
Could you care for a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush,
‘Cause I’ve got a crush, my baby, on you.
I’ve got a crush, my baby, on you,
On you, on you, the man I love.
