When you have another's arms about you
Do you ever think of me?
When yuo whisper, "I can't live without you."
Do you ever think of me?
Don't Fence Me In lyrics - Bing Crosby
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in, no
Pop, oh don't you fence me in
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in, no
Pop, oh don't you fence me in
Dream A Little Dream Of Me lyrics - Bing Crosby
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say night-ie night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fadin' but I linger on, dear
Still cravin' your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn, dear
Just sayin' this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Yeah, Bob, you ain't just dreamin'
You is awake
Stars fadin' but I linger on, dear
Still cravin' your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn, dear
All I keep sayin' is this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Dream a little dream of me
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say night-ie night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fadin' but I linger on, dear
Still cravin' your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn, dear
Just sayin' this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Yeah, Bob, you ain't just dreamin'
You is awake
Stars fadin' but I linger on, dear
Still cravin' your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn, dear
All I keep sayin' is this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Dream a little dream of me
Empty Saddles (In The Old Corral) lyrics - Bing Crosby
[VERSE 1:]
There's something strange in the old corral
There's a breeze, though the wind has died
Though I'm alone in the old corral,
Seems there is someone at my side
[CHORUS:]
Empty saddles in the old corral,
Where do ya ride tonight?
Are ya roundin' up the dogies,
The strays of long ago,
Are ya on the trail of buffalo?
Empty saddles in the old corral,
Where do ya ride tonight?
Are there rustlers on the border,
Or a band of Navajo
Are ya headin' for the Alamo?
Empty guns covered with rust
Where do ya talk tonight?
Empty boots covered with dust
Where do ya walk tonight?
Empty saddles in the old corral,
My tears would be dried tonight
If you'll only say I'm lonely,
As ya carry my old pal
Empty saddles in the old corral
[VERSE 2:]
There is no smoke, still the fires burn,
There's no song, still I hear guitars,
There is no dust, still the ghosts return
Softly to vanish thru the bars
Getting To Know You lyrics - Bing Crosby
Gettin' to know you,
Gettin' to know all about you.
Gettin' to like you,
Gettin' to hope you like me.
Gettin' to know you,
Putting it my way but nicely.
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.
Gettin' to know you,
Gettin' to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Gettin' to to know what to say.
Haven't you noticed,
Suddenly I 'm bright and breezy,
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.
Gettin' to know all about you.
Gettin' to like you,
Gettin' to hope you like me.
Gettin' to know you,
Putting it my way but nicely.
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.
Gettin' to know you,
Gettin' to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Gettin' to to know what to say.
Haven't you noticed,
Suddenly I 'm bright and breezy,
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.
Go Fly A Kite lyrics - Bing Crosby
Go fly a kite and tie your troubles to the tail
They'll be blown away by a merry gale,
Go fly a kite and toss your worries to the wind
And they won't come back, they'll be too chagrined.
Go on make friends with the sky
Have a talk with the sun
It's the bright way to live, if you'll pardon the pun
Go fly a kite and you'll imagine you're a king
Cause you've got your world on a piece of string
They'll be blown away by a merry gale,
Go fly a kite and toss your worries to the wind
And they won't come back, they'll be too chagrined.
Go on make friends with the sky
Have a talk with the sun
It's the bright way to live, if you'll pardon the pun
Go fly a kite and you'll imagine you're a king
Cause you've got your world on a piece of string
Happy Holiday lyrics - Bing Crosby
Happy Holiday
Happy holiday,
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
(If your burdened down with trouble)
(If your nerves a wearing thin)
(Park your load down the road)
(And come to Holiday Inn)
If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin
Kick your cares down the stairs
Come to Holiday Inn
(If you can't find someone who)
(Will set your heart a-whirl)
(Take your car and motor to)
(The home of boy meets girl)
If you're laid-up with a breakdown
Throw away your vitamin
(Don't get worse), grab your nurse
And come to Holiday Inn
(Happy holiday, happy holiday)
(While the merry bells are ringin')
(May your every wish come true)
(Happy holiday, happy holiday)
(May the calendar keep bringin')
(Happy holidays to you)
Happy holiday, happy holiday)
While the merry bells keep ringin'
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringin'
Happy holidays to you.
Happy holiday,
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
(If your burdened down with trouble)
(If your nerves a wearing thin)
(Park your load down the road)
(And come to Holiday Inn)
If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin
Kick your cares down the stairs
Come to Holiday Inn
(If you can't find someone who)
(Will set your heart a-whirl)
(Take your car and motor to)

While the merry bells keep ringin'
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringin'
Happy holidays to you.
Here Comes Santa Claus lyrics - Bing Crosby
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin'
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!
(Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus),
(Right down Santa Claus lane)
(He's got a bag that is filled with toys)
(For the boys and girls again)
(Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle),
(Oh what a beautiful sight)
(Jump in bed, cover up your head)
('Cause Santa Claus comes tonight, tonight)
('Cause Santa Claus comes tonight)
(Happy days), happy times, (listen to the bells and chimes)
{As Santa Clause comes your way, today}
{Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus),
{Right down Santa Claus lane}
{He doesn't care if you're rich or poor}
{For he loves you just the same}
Santa Claus knows we're all God's chil'en
That makes everything right
(So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer)
{'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight, tonight}
{'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight}, stand bye
(Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus),
(Right down Santa Claus lane)
(He'll come around when the chimes ring out)
(Then it's Christmas morn again)
Peace on earth will come to all
If we just follow the light
(Lets give thanks to the lord above)
{'Cause Santa Clause comes tonight}
(Happy days), happy times, (listen to the bells and chimes)
{Here comes Santa Cause}
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin'
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!
(Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus),
(Right down Santa Claus lane)
(He's got a bag that is filled with toys)
(For the boys and girls again)
(Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle),

Home On The Range lyrics - Bing Crosby
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
How often at night where the heavens are bright
With the light of the glittering stars
Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Then give me a land where the bright diamond sand
Flows leisurely down to the stream
Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream
Oh I would not exchange my old home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where the seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
How often at night where the heavens are bright
With the light of the glittering stars
Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Then give me a land where the bright diamond sand
Flows leisurely down to the stream
Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream
Oh I would not exchange my old home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where the seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
I Have Eyes lyrics - Bing Crosby
I have eyes to see with
But they see only you
For you have eyes
That put the very stars to shame
I have lips to sigh with
What else am I to do
When you have lips
That fill my very soul with flame
Tonight you're near to me
In a light bright as day
But you're so dear to me
I could see you even miles away
I have eyes to see with
And yet when we're apart
I close my eyes
And see with my heart.
Tonight you're near to me
In a light bright as day
But you're so dear to me
I could see you even miles away
I have eyes to see with
And yet when we're apart
I close my eyes
And see with my heart.
But they see only you
For you have eyes
That put the very stars to shame
I have lips to sigh with
What else am I to do
When you have lips
That fill my very soul with flame
Tonight you're near to me
In a light bright as day
But you're so dear to me
I could see you even miles away
I have eyes to see with
And yet when we're apart
I close my eyes
And see with my heart.
Tonight you're near to me
In a light bright as day
But you're so dear to me
I could see you even miles away
I have eyes to see with
And yet when we're apart
I close my eyes
And see with my heart.
I Haven't Time To Be A Millionaire lyrics - Bing Crosby
By a country road wild roses grow
That need my special care
So I haven't time to be a millionaire
And a cheerful brook on a mountain side
Is sad when I'm not there
So I haven't time to be a millionaire
And a friendly gang of robins are peeved when I forget
That I'm the second tenor in their quartet
So with all the things I have to do, I'm very much aware
If I wished for wealth it wouldn't be quite fair
'Cause I haven't time to be a millionaire
I haven't time to be a millionaire
'Cause cheerful brook on a mountain side is sad when I'm
I haven't the time to be a millionaire
And a friendly gang of robins are peeved when I forget
That I'm the second tenor in their quartet
So with all the things I have to do, I'm very much aware
If I wished for wealth it wouldn't be quite fair
'Cause I haven't time to be a millionaire
That need my special care
So I haven't time to be a millionaire
And a cheerful brook on a mountain side
Is sad when I'm not there
So I haven't time to be a millionaire
And a friendly gang of robins are peeved when I forget
That I'm the second tenor in their quartet
So with all the things I have to do, I'm very much aware
If I wished for wealth it wouldn't be quite fair
'Cause I haven't time to be a millionaire
I haven't time to be a millionaire
'Cause cheerful brook on a mountain side is sad when I'm
I haven't the time to be a millionaire
And a friendly gang of robins are peeved when I forget
That I'm the second tenor in their quartet
So with all the things I have to do, I'm very much aware
If I wished for wealth it wouldn't be quite fair
'Cause I haven't time to be a millionaire
I Sing Noel lyrics - Bing Crosby
Some children see Him lily white
The baby Jesus born this night
Some children see Him lily white
With dresses of their faith
I sing Noel, I sing Noel for children
For all little children who have no Christmas tree
I sing Noel, Noel, Noel
For little girls who have no pretty dress to wear
Little boys who have no teddy bears
I sing Noel, I sing Noel for children
For all lonely children who cry on Christmas Eve
I sing Noel, Noel, Noel
For little girls whose hands are trembling in the cold
Little boys whose eyes are too slow
May the new born Savior
Turn His tender face to you
May He help us all
To make this world a better place for you
I sing Noel, I sing Noel for children
For all little children who have no Christmas tree
Let's all sing Noel, rings the bells of Christmas
For all lonely children wherever they may be
Noel, Noel, come spend Christmas with me
Noel, Noel, come spend Christmas with me
I sing Noel
I sing Noel
I sing Noel
The baby Jesus born this night
Some children see Him lily white
With dresses of their faith
I sing Noel, I sing Noel for children
For all little children who have no Christmas tree
I sing Noel, Noel, Noel
For little girls who have no pretty dress to wear
Little boys who have no teddy bears
I sing Noel, I sing Noel for children
For all lonely children who cry on Christmas Eve
I sing Noel, Noel, Noel
For little girls whose hands are trembling in the cold
Little boys whose eyes are too slow
May the new born Savior
Turn His tender face to you
May He help us all
To make this world a better place for you
I sing Noel, I sing Noel for children
For all little children who have no Christmas tree
Let's all sing Noel, rings the bells of Christmas
For all lonely children wherever they may be
Noel, Noel, come spend Christmas with me
Noel, Noel, come spend Christmas with me
I sing Noel
I sing Noel
I sing Noel
I'm An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande) lyrics - BIng Crosby
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I don't know how
Sure ain't a fixin to start in now
Yippie yi yo kayah
I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand
I'm a riding fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Yippie yi yo kayah
We're old cowhands from the Rio Grande
And we come to town just to hear the band
We know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bbout the big corral where the doggies go
We learned them all on the radio
Yippie yi yo kayah
I'm an old cowhand
Oh yes, Mr. Bing.
Too hot for you, Uncle Fudd?
Down from the Rio Grande
Oh where the west is wild all around the borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
and the Injuns run up a rug or two
and the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeah
Yippie yi yo kayah
I'm a pioneer who began from scratch
I don't bat an eye in a shootin' match.
They don't call me Elmer, they call me Satch.
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
Get along little horsy
Get along little horsy
Yippie yi yo kayah, oh!
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I don't know how
Sure ain't a fixin to start in now
Yippie yi yo kayah
I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand

I've Got The World On A String lyrics - Bing Crosby
Merry month of may, sunny skies of blue,
Clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps thru,
May express happiness, joy you may define in a thousand ways,
But a case like mine needs a "special phrase"
To reveal how I feel.
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
I've got a song that I sing,
I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger,
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go,
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
I've got a song that I sing,
I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger,
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go,
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.
Clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps thru,
May express happiness, joy you may define in a thousand ways,
But a case like mine needs a "special phrase"
To reveal how I feel.
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
I've got a song that I sing,
I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger,
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go,
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
I've got a song that I sing,
I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger,
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go,
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.
If I Had My Way lyrics - Bing Crosby
I'd like to make your golden dreams come true, Dear
If I only had my way
A paradise this world would seem to you, Dear
If I only had my way
You'd never know a care, a pain, or sorrow
If I only had my way
I'd fill your cup of happiness tomorrow
If I only had my way
If I had my way, Dear, forever there'd be
A garden of roses for you and for me
A thousand and one things, Dear, I would do
Just for you, just for you
If I had my way we would never grow old
And sunshine I'd bring every day
You would reign all alone, like a queen on a throne
If I had my way
If I only had my way
A paradise this world would seem to you, Dear
If I only had my way
You'd never know a care, a pain, or sorrow
If I only had my way
I'd fill your cup of happiness tomorrow
If I only had my way
If I had my way, Dear, forever there'd be
A garden of roses for you and for me
A thousand and one things, Dear, I would do
Just for you, just for you
If I had my way we would never grow old
And sunshine I'd bring every day
You would reign all alone, like a queen on a throne
If I had my way
It's Always You lyrics - Bing Crosby
Whenever it's early twilight,
I watch till a star breaks through.
Funny, it's not a star I see,
It's always you!
Whenever I roam through roses,
And lately I often do,
Funny, it's not a rose I touch,
It's always you!
If a breeze caresses me,
It's really you strolling by.
If I hear a melody,
It's merely the way you sigh.
Wherever you are you're near me,
You dare me to be untrue.
Funny, each time I fall in love,
It's always you!
I watch till a star breaks through.
Funny, it's not a star I see,
It's always you!
Whenever I roam through roses,
And lately I often do,
Funny, it's not a rose I touch,
It's always you!
If a breeze caresses me,
It's really you strolling by.
If I hear a melody,
It's merely the way you sigh.
Wherever you are you're near me,
You dare me to be untrue.
Funny, each time I fall in love,
It's always you!
Let Me Call You Sweetheart lyrics - Bing Crosby
Let me call you sweetheart
I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper
That you love me too
Keep the love light glowing
In your eyes so true
Let me call you sweetheart
I'm in love with you
Keep the love light glowing
In your eyes so true
Let me call you sweetheart
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper
That you love me too
Keep the love light glowing
In your eyes so true
Let me call you sweetheart
I'm in love with you
Keep the love light glowing
In your eyes so true
Let me call you sweetheart
I'm in love with you
Let's All Meet At My House lyrics - Bing Crosby
What is wrong with everybody lately
What the deuce has happened to the gang
No-one chews the rag, no-one pulls a gag
Say do I have to whip the whole shebang
Times are not as bad as what you read
and your's truly knows just what you need
Let's all meet at my house
Just make yourselves at home
I'll drag out my banjo
If someone will play the comb
And we'll sing all the old songs
incase someone feels blue
Let's all meet at my house
Let my house be your house too
I'll take you to his house, if you'll be my sweetheart
On no solo this is good neighbour work
But darling I'm ready whenever you care to start
That's right take the big red bus
If they play post office, remember I'm with you
Here here now Woodward, break it up
So let's go to his house, it seems like the thing to do
Come on
What the deuce has happened to the gang
No-one chews the rag, no-one pulls a gag
Say do I have to whip the whole shebang
Times are not as bad as what you read
and your's truly knows just what you need
Let's all meet at my house
Just make yourselves at home
I'll drag out my banjo
If someone will play the comb
And we'll sing all the old songs
incase someone feels blue
Let's all meet at my house
Let my house be your house too
I'll take you to his house, if you'll be my sweetheart
On no solo this is good neighbour work
But darling I'm ready whenever you care to start
That's right take the big red bus
If they play post office, remember I'm with you
Here here now Woodward, break it up
So let's go to his house, it seems like the thing to do
Come on
Let's Put Out The Lights (And Go To Sleep) lyrics - Bing Crosby
Didn't we have a lovely evening?
Our party was a great success
Oh, didn't Mrs. Smith look stunning?
Did you notice Mrs. Jones's new dress?
Now what did Mr. Brown say to uncle Benny?
Well, I guess it was just one of those things
Brownie had a few too many
Sure was a hungry crowd
They didn't leave a scrap for Rover
We ought to feel real proud
And mighty glad the darn thing's over
No more company to feed
No more papers left to read
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep
No more anything to drink
Leave those dishes in the sink
What's to do about it?
Simply nighty-night and so to sleep
You're waiting now for me to say
I love you more and more and more, dear
You're looking younger everyday
You never were so sweet before, dear
No more money in the bank
No cute baby, we can spank
What's to do about it?
Well, let's put out the lights and go to sleep
You're waiting now for me to say
I love you more and more and more, dear
You're looking younger every day
You never were so sweet before, my darling
No more money in the bank
No cute baby, we can spank
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights, go to sleep
Our party was a great success
Oh, didn't Mrs. Smith look stunning?
Did you notice Mrs. Jones's new dress?
Now what did Mr. Brown say to uncle Benny?
Well, I guess it was just one of those things
Brownie had a few too many
Sure was a hungry crowd
They didn't leave a scrap for Rover
We ought to feel real proud
And mighty glad the darn thing's over
No more company to feed
No more papers left to read
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep
No more anything to drink
Leave those dishes in the sink
What's to do about it?
Simply nighty-night and so to sleep
You're waiting now for me to say
I love you more and more and more, dear
You're looking younger everyday
You never were so sweet before, dear
No more money in the bank
No cute baby, we can spank
What's to do about it?
Well, let's put out the lights and go to sleep
You're waiting now for me to say
I love you more and more and more, dear
You're looking younger every day
You never were so sweet before, my darling
No more money in the bank
No cute baby, we can spank
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights, go to sleep
Love In Bloom lyrics - Bing Crosby
Blue nights and you
Alone with me.
My heart has never known such ecstasy.
Am I on earth?
Am I in Heaven?
Can it be the trees
That fill the breeze
With rare and magic perfume?
Oh no, it isn't the trees
It's love in bloom.
Can it be the spring
That seems to bring
The stars right into this room
Oh no, it isn't the spring
Its love in bloom.
My heart was a desert
You planted a seed
And this is the flower
This hour of sweet fullfillment.
Is it all a dream, a joy supreme
That came to us in the gloom?
You know it isn't a dream
It's love in bloom.
My heart was a desert
But you planted a seed
And this is the flower
This hour of sweet fullfillment.
Is it all a dream, a joy supreme
That came to us in the gloom?
You know it isn't a dream
It's love in bloom.
Alone with me.
My heart has never known such ecstasy.
Am I on earth?
Am I in Heaven?
Can it be the trees
That fill the breeze
With rare and magic perfume?
Oh no, it isn't the trees
It's love in bloom.
Can it be the spring
That seems to bring
The stars right into this room
Oh no, it isn't the spring
Its love in bloom.
My heart was a desert
You planted a seed
And this is the flower
This hour of sweet fullfillment.
Is it all a dream, a joy supreme
That came to us in the gloom?
You know it isn't a dream
It's love in bloom.
My heart was a desert
But you planted a seed
And this is the flower
This hour of sweet fullfillment.
Is it all a dream, a joy supreme
That came to us in the gloom?
You know it isn't a dream
It's love in bloom.
Love Thy Neighbor lyrics - Bing Crosby
Love thy neighbor,
Walk up and say "How be ya
Gee! But I'm glad to see ya, pal,
How's tricks? What's new?"
Love thy neighbor,
Offer to share his burden,
Tell him to say the word "n"
You will see him through
Especially if there should be
a beautiful girl next door,
Say to that girl next door,
don't think I'm bold
But my mother told me to
Love thy neighbor
And you will find your labor,
A great deal easier,
Life'll be breezier
If you Love Thy Neighbor
Walk up and say "How be ya
Gee! But I'm glad to see ya, pal,
How's tricks? What's new?"
Love thy neighbor,
Offer to share his burden,
Tell him to say the word "n"
You will see him through
Especially if there should be
a beautiful girl next door,
Say to that girl next door,
don't think I'm bold
But my mother told me to
Love thy neighbor
And you will find your labor,
A great deal easier,
Life'll be breezier
If you Love Thy Neighbor
Mine lyrics - Bing Crosby (with Judy Garland)
Mine, love is mine
Whether it's rain, or storm, or shine
Mine, you are mine
Never another valentine
And I am yours
Tell me thats I'm yours
Show me that smile my heart adores
Mine, more than divine
To known that love like yours is mine
Your mine
(The point we're making in this song)
Love is mine
(Is that we more than get along)
Come rain, come storm, come shine
And you are mine
(Doesn't it do you good to see)
Yes, you're mine
(Such happy domesticity)
Never another valentine
(But when we're making love you swear)
We're a happily married care
And I'm yours
(He says no matter what occurs)
Tell me that I'm yours
(Whatever he may have is hers)
Show me that smile my heart adores
(The point that I have made is, whatever I may have is his)
Mine, more than divine
To know that love like yours is mine

Miss You lyrics - Bing Crosby
I miss you
Since you went away, dear
Miss you
More than I can say, dear
Day time, night time, nothing I do
Can make me forget, that I still love you
Kiss you
In my dreams I kiss you
Whispering
Darling how I miss you.
Tell me, do you ever miss me
As I miss you
[orchestral interlude]
Tell me, do you ever miss me
As I miss you.
Since you went away, dear
Miss you
More than I can say, dear
Day time, night time, nothing I do
Can make me forget, that I still love you
Kiss you
In my dreams I kiss you
Whispering
Darling how I miss you.
Tell me, do you ever miss me
As I miss you
[orchestral interlude]
Tell me, do you ever miss me
As I miss you.
Mister Meadowlark lyrics - Bing Crosby
I'm out in the country
But I don't know why
Cause I'm sticky a city loving guy
Just sitting there when a little bird flies my way
Hello bee
I looks at him and he's lookin' at me
We're both satisfying our curiosity
Who can this be?
Quick like a rabbit I gets me a ?
So I ups to him and I say,
Whatcha say?
"Oh Mister Meadowlark we gots a lot of serenading to do."
Who to?
"Ooh Mister Meadowlark I'm just a city slicker & I'm counting on you."
She's got a country guy who whistles
My whistle is thin
(innocent)
So when I begin, that's where you come in
Oh you're ? your heart mister meadowlark
Now if you should cop a gander when I'm kissing my chick
Needless to remind I'm gonna have the decency to exit due but quick
Say but what if Mrs. M thinks I'm out stepping?
Fear not, I'll make it alright
For Mr. Meadowlark meet me in the dark tonight
The scene changes, nightfall, our two characters at the ? place, the park,
Spoon and spark with meadowlark
Ooh Mister Meadowlark we're gathered here to witness this moment event
It's a charming little park
Paid for by the city
Now my brother you're a cinch
Cause when I send them, they're sent
You mean you're ready?
Suppose I hit a real good ripple
Well whistle me a whizzer
I'll slip you a ?
Now when I begin
Why that's where I come in
Pretty now
Oh Mister Meadowlark, I guess you know that clinker put the finish oh me
Fair weather friend, eh?
Needn't to remind I hope you know you put me in a practically impossible key
If they squawk then you got to square it
Square it
I'll tell them you're tight with two black birds from Boston
Yes Mister Meadowlark goodnight
Goodnight
But I don't know why
Cause I'm sticky a city loving guy
Just sitting there when a little bird flies my way
Hello bee
I looks at him and he's lookin' at me
We're both satisfying our curiosity
Who can this be?
Quick like a rabbit I gets me a ?
So I ups to him and I say,
Whatcha say?
"Oh Mister Meadowlark we gots a lot of serenading to do."

Moonlight Becomes You lyrics - Bing Crosby
Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you, I'm thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along?
If I say I love you
I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight
Although, moonlight becomes you so
[instrumental break]
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along?
If I say I love you
I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight
Although, moonlight becomes you so
My Melancholy Baby lyrics - Bing Crosby
Come to me my melancholy baby.
Cuddle up and don't be blue.
All your fears are foolish fancies, baby.
You know dear that I'm in love with you.
Every cloud must have a silver lining.
Wait until the sun shines through.
Smile, my honey dear
While I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too.
Every cloud must have a silver lining.
Wait until the sun shines through.
Smile, my honey dear
While I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too.
Cuddle up and don't be blue.
All your fears are foolish fancies, baby.
You know dear that I'm in love with you.
Every cloud must have a silver lining.
Wait until the sun shines through.
Smile, my honey dear
While I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too.
Every cloud must have a silver lining.
Wait until the sun shines through.
Smile, my honey dear
While I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too.
Only Forever lyrics - Bing Crosby
Do I want to be with you
As the years come and go?
Only forever
If you care to know
Would I grant all your wishes
And be proud of the task?
Only forever
If someone should ask
How long would it take me
To be near if you beckoned?
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile?
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild
How long would it take me
To be near if you beckoned?
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile?
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild
As the years come and go?
Only forever
If you care to know
Would I grant all your wishes
And be proud of the task?
Only forever
If someone should ask
How long would it take me
To be near if you beckoned?
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile?
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild
How long would it take me
To be near if you beckoned?
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile?
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild
Pistol Packin' Mama lyrics - Bing Crosby
Lay that pistol down, Babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama
Lay that pistol down
Oh, drinking beer in a cabaret
Was I having fun
Until one night she caught me right
And now I'm on the run
Oh, lay that pistol down, Babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama
Lay that pistol down
Oh, I'll sing you every night Bing
And I'll woo you every day
I'll be your regular mama
And I'll put that gun away
Oh, lay that pistol down, Babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama
Lay that thing down before it goes off and hurts somebody
Oh, she kicked out my windshield
And she hit me over the head
She cussed and cried and said I lied
And she wished that I was dead
Oh, lay that pistol down, Babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama
Lay that pistol down
We're 3 tough gals
From deep down Texas way
We got no pals
They don't like the way we play
We're a rough rooting tooting shooting trio
But you ought to see my sister Cleo
She's a terror make no error
But there ain't no nicer terror
Here's what we tell her
Lay that pistol down, Babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama
Lay that pistol down
Pappy made a batch of corn
The revenuers came
The draught was slow
So now they know
You can't do that to Mame
Lay that pistol down, Babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama
Lay that pistol down
Oh, singing songs in a cabaret
Was I having fun
Until one night it didn't seem right
And now I'm on the run
Oh, lay that pistol down, Babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama
Lay that pistol down
Oh, pistol packing mama
Lay that pistol down
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama
Lay that pistol down
Oh, drinking beer in a cabaret

Until one night she caught me right
And now I'm on the run

Please lyrics - Bing Crosby
Oh, Please.
Lend your little ear to my pleas
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas
Tell me that you love me too.
Please
Let me hold you tight in my arms
I could find delight in your charms
Every night my whole life through.
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow.
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy romeo?
Oh, Please.
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too.
[Bing whistles and da da dees]
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow.
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy romeo?
Oh, please
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please,
Tell me that you love me too.
Lend your little ear to my pleas
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas
Tell me that you love me too.
Please
Let me hold you tight in my arms
I could find delight in your charms
Every night my whole life through.
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow.
How long must I play the role of

Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too.

Ridin' Down The Canyon lyrics - BIng Crosby
When evening chores are over at our ranch house on the plain
And all I've got to do is lay around
I saddle up my pony and ride off down the trail
To watch the desert sun go down
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
A picture that no artist e'er could paint
White faced cattle lowin' on the mountain side
Hear a coyote whinin' for it's mate
Cactus plants are bloomin', sagebrush every where
Granite spires are standin' all around
I tell you folks it's heaven
To be ridin' down the trail
When the desert sun goes down
And all I've got to do is lay around
I saddle up my pony and ride off down the trail
To watch the desert sun go down
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
A picture that no artist e'er could paint
White faced cattle lowin' on the mountain side
Hear a coyote whinin' for it's mate
Cactus plants are bloomin', sagebrush every where
Granite spires are standin' all around
I tell you folks it's heaven
To be ridin' down the trail
When the desert sun goes down
Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer lyrics - Bing Crosby
You know
There's Dasher
And Dancer
Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid
Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous
Reindeer of all?
Rudolph
The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw him
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh
And call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Hey, Rudolph
With your nose so bright
Won't you guide
My sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Hey
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"
There's Dasher
And Dancer
Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid
Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous
Reindeer of all?
Rudolph
The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw him
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh
And call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"
Then one foggy Christmas Eve

My sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Hey
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"
San Antonio Rose lyrics - Bing Crosby
Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
Deep within my heart lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
Deep within my heart lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
San Fernando Valley lyrics - Bing Crosby
Oh! I'm packing my grip
And I'm leav-in' to-day,
'Cause I'm takin' a trip
Cal-i-for-nia way
I'm gon-na set-tle down and nev-er more roam
And make the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL0LEY my home.
I'll for-get my sins,
I'll be mak-in' new friends,
Where the West be-gins
And the sun-set ends,
'Cause I've de-cid-ed where "yours tru-ly" should be
And it's the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL-LEY for me
I think that I'm safe in stat-in'
{She - He} will be wait-in'
When my lone-ly jour-ney is done-
And kind-ly old Rev-'rend Thomas
Made us a pro-mise
He will make the two of us one.
So, I'm hit-tin' the trail
To the cow coun-try.
You can for-ward my mail
Care of R.F.D.
I'm gon-na set-tle down and nev-er more roam
And make the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL-LEY my home
And I'm leav-in' to-day,
'Cause I'm takin' a trip
Cal-i-for-nia way
I'm gon-na set-tle down and nev-er more roam
And make the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL0LEY my home.
I'll for-get my sins,

And it's the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL-LEY for me
I think that I'm safe in stat-in'

And kind-ly old Rev-'rend Thomas

He will make the two of us one.
So, I'm hit-tin' the trail
To the cow coun-try.
You can for-ward my mail
Care of R.F.D.
I'm gon-na set-tle down and nev-er more roam
And make the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL-LEY my home
Shine lyrics - Bing Crosby
Cause my hair is curly
Just because my teeth are pearly
Just because I always wear a smile
Like to dress up in the latest style
Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Just because my color's shady,
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me
Shine, sway your blues'ies.
Why don't you shine?
Start with your shoes'ies.
Shine each place up, make it look like new.
Shine your face up, I want to see you wear a smile or two.
Why don't you shine your these and thoseies?
You'll find everything gonna turn out right fine
Folks will shine up to ya'
Everybody's gonna howdy doody do-ya'
You'll make the whole world shine
Oh chocolate drop, that's me...
Cause my hair is curly, (man's got curly hair)
Now just because my teeth are pearly, (also got pearly teeth)
Just because I always wear a smile, (oh keep on smiling)
Like to dress us, babe, in the latest style.
Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Now just because my color's shady (you's a shady baby)
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me...
Shine away your blues'ies
Shine, start with your shoes'ies
You'll make the whole world shine
Just because my teeth are pearly
Just because I always wear a smile
Like to dress up in the latest style
Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Just because my color's shady,
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me
Shine, sway your blues'ies.
Why don't you shine?
Start with your shoes'ies.
Shine each place up, make it look like new.
Shine your face up, I want to see you wear a smile or two.
Why don't you shine your these and thoseies?
You'll find everything gonna turn out right fine
Folks will shine up to ya'
Everybody's gonna howdy doody do-ya'
You'll make the whole world shine
Oh chocolate drop, that's me...
Cause my hair is curly, (man's got curly hair)
Now just because my teeth are pearly, (also got pearly teeth)
Just because I always wear a smile, (oh keep on smiling)
Like to dress us, babe, in the latest style.
Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Now just because my color's shady (you's a shady baby)
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me...
Shine away your blues'ies
Shine, start with your shoes'ies
You'll make the whole world shine
Sing Me A Song Of The Islands lyrics - Bing Crosby
Sing me a song of the islands
My serenade that the trade winds blow
Sing me a song of the islands
Where hearts are high and the moon is low.
Where wrippling waters seem to say Aloha au-I-o-ei
Bring me the frangrance of ginger
Strum your guitars while I dream away
Then sing me a song of the islands Aloha au-I-o-ei.
Where wrippling waters seem to say Aloha au-I-o-ei
Bring me the frangrance of ginger
Strum your guitars while I dream away
Then sing me a song of the islands Aloha au-I-o-ei
My serenade that the trade winds blow
Sing me a song of the islands
Where hearts are high and the moon is low.
Where wrippling waters seem to say Aloha au-I-o-ei
Bring me the frangrance of ginger
Strum your guitars while I dream away
Then sing me a song of the islands Aloha au-I-o-ei.
Where wrippling waters seem to say Aloha au-I-o-ei
Bring me the frangrance of ginger
Strum your guitars while I dream away
Then sing me a song of the islands Aloha au-I-o-ei
Snowbird lyrics - Bing Crosby
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
For its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me
That's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's
The thing thing that I can't win
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break me heart again
Should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take me with you
When you go
To that land of gentle breezes
Where the peaceful waters flow
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you
The unborn grass lies waiting
For its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me
That's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's
The thing thing that I can't win
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break me heart again
Should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take me with you
When you go
To that land of gentle breezes
Where the peaceful waters flow
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you
Sweet Georgia Brown lyrics - Bing Crosby
No gal made has got a shade on sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet but oh, so neat has sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die sweet Miss Georgia Brown
And I'll tell you just why, you know that I do not lie, not much
It's been said that she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came, it's a shame how she cools 'em down
Fella's she can't get, must be fella's that she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, sweet Georgia Brown
It's been said that she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came, why it's a shame how she cools 'em down
Fella's she can't get, must be fella's that she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, sweet Georgia
They call her sweet Miss Georgia Brown
Two left feet but oh, so neat has sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die sweet Miss Georgia Brown
And I'll tell you just why, you know that I do not lie, not much
It's been said that she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came, it's a shame how she cools 'em down
Fella's she can't get, must be fella's that she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, sweet Georgia Brown
It's been said that she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came, why it's a shame how she cools 'em down
Fella's she can't get, must be fella's that she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, sweet Georgia
They call her sweet Miss Georgia Brown
Sweet Potato Piper lyrics - Bing Crosby
Music soothes the savage
That's a well known phrase
But your heart becomes
Full of kettle drums
When the sweet potato piper plays
Go on, throw your hat up
Shout a few hoorays
Cause you can't hold back
You're a jumpin' jack
When the sweet potato piper plays
Though it's not a magic flute
There's a fascinatin' toot
It's not exactly beautiful
It's sort of like an I don't know
I guess you'd call it cute!
Sunbeams try new dance steps,
Songbirds sound their A's
And the world joins in
With a great big grin
When the sweet potato piper plays
That's a well known phrase
But your heart becomes
Full of kettle drums
When the sweet potato piper plays
Go on, throw your hat up
Shout a few hoorays
Cause you can't hold back
You're a jumpin' jack
When the sweet potato piper plays
Though it's not a magic flute
There's a fascinatin' toot
It's not exactly beautiful
It's sort of like an I don't know
I guess you'd call it cute!
Sunbeams try new dance steps,
Songbirds sound their A's
And the world joins in
With a great big grin
When the sweet potato piper plays
Swinging On A Star lyrics - Bing Crosby
Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So, you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So, you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star
Take Me Back To My Boots And Saddle lyrics - Bing Crosby
Take me back to my boots and saddle
Whoa-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ah-ooh
Let me see that gen'ral store
Let me ride that range once more
Gimme my boots and saddle
Let me ramble along the prairie
Wooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ah-ooh
Ropin' steers on old Bar-X
With my buddies, Slim and Tex
Oh, gimme my boots and saddle
Got a hankerin' to be with a banjo on my knee
Strummin' a pretty western tune
There's a gal in Cherokee
And she's waitin' there for me
Waitin' 'neath a Texas moon
Take me back to my boots and saddle
Whoa-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ooh
Let me greet each blazin' morn
On the ranch where I was born
Oh, gimme my boots and saddle
Whoa-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Whoa-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ah-ooh
Let me see that gen'ral store
Let me ride that range once more
Gimme my boots and saddle
Let me ramble along the prairie
Wooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ah-ooh
Ropin' steers on old Bar-X
With my buddies, Slim and Tex
Oh, gimme my boots and saddle
Got a hankerin' to be with a banjo on my knee
Strummin' a pretty western tune
There's a gal in Cherokee
And she's waitin' there for me
Waitin' 'neath a Texas moon
Take me back to my boots and saddle
Whoa-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ooh
Let me greet each blazin' morn
On the ranch where I was born
Oh, gimme my boots and saddle
Whoa-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Tallahassee lyrics - Bing Crosby (with The Andrews Sisters)
Oh won't you listen all you people
On the southbound train
Oh won't you listen to my friendly advice
About a quarter after seven, we'll be pulling into paradise
When you see land
Kinda green and grassy
Beneath a moon
Bright beyond compare
When you hear blue jays
Chirping high and sassy
And catch one sniff of southern cooking
Hanging on the evening air
When you see folks
All polite and classy
And every smile
Bids you stay and rest
Get off that train
You're in Tallahassee
The Southland at its best
When you see land
(Out of the window of a train)
Kinda green and grassy
(How in the world can you complain?)
Beneath a moon
(You ought to see the way it shines)
Bright beyond compare
(The way it shines upon the pines)
When you hear blue jays
Chirping high and sassy
And catch one sniff of southern cooking
Hanging on the evening air
(Oh sun)
When you see folks
(Having their after dinner chats)
All polite and classy
(Gentlemen all remove their hats)
And every smile
(Perfect harmony and peace)
Bids you stay and rest
(Hand the porter your valise)
Get off that train
You're in Tallahassee
(The Capital City of Florida)
And the Southland at its best
There is no doubt of it
We do not exaggerate of it
The Southland at its very best
On the southbound train
Oh won't you listen to my friendly advice
About a quarter after seven, we'll be pulling into paradise
When you see land
Kinda green and grassy
Beneath a moon
Bright beyond compare
When you hear blue jays
Chirping high and sassy
And catch one sniff of southern cooking
Hanging on the evening air
When you see folks
All polite and classy
And every smile
Bids you stay and rest
Get off that train
You're in Tallahassee
The Southland at its best
When you see land
(Out of the window of a train)
Kinda green and grassy
(How in the world can you complain?)
Beneath a moon
(You ought to see the way it shines)
Bright beyond compare
(The way it shines upon the pines)
When you hear blue jays
Chirping high and sassy
And catch one sniff of southern cooking
Hanging on the evening air
(Oh sun)
When you see folks
(Having their after dinner chats)
All polite and classy
(Gentlemen all remove their hats)
And every smile
(Perfect harmony and peace)
Bids you stay and rest
(Hand the porter your valise)
Get off that train
You're in Tallahassee
(The Capital City of Florida)
And the Southland at its best
There is no doubt of it
We do not exaggerate of it
The Southland at its very best
Tea For Two lyrics - Bing Crosby
Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone
Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For me to take for all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
Oh, can't you see how happy we would be
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone
Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For me to take for all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
Oh, can't you see how happy we would be
Temptation lyrics - Bing Crosby
You came, I was alone
I should have known you were temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone, you were temptation
It would be thrilling if you were willling
If it can never be, pity me
For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist
You are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart
Take it and say we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you, temptation
For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist
You are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart
Take it and say we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you, temptation
I should have known you were temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone, you were temptation
It would be thrilling if you were willling
If it can never be, pity me
For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist
You are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart
Take it and say we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you, temptation
For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist
You are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart
Take it and say we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you, temptation
That's For Me lyrics - Bing Crosby
The light-hearted gay
Kind of charm you display
That's for me.
The wonderful sly
Little trick with your eye
That's for me.
What a feather in my hat
If I could gratify your wish;
Do you like the movies,
Or what is your favorite dish?
The tilt of your chin,
When you chuckle or grin
That's for me
You might as well know
That wherever you go,
There I'll be
Just to make sure you keep your heart
Alone and fancy free.
No one else can have it; that's for me
Kind of charm you display
That's for me.
The wonderful sly
Little trick with your eye
That's for me.
What a feather in my hat
If I could gratify your wish;
Do you like the movies,
Or what is your favorite dish?
The tilt of your chin,
When you chuckle or grin
That's for me
You might as well know
That wherever you go,
There I'll be
Just to make sure you keep your heart
Alone and fancy free.
No one else can have it; that's for me
The Birth Of The Blues lyrics - Bing Crosby
Oh! they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diff'rent tune,
One that they could croon
As only they can.
They only had the rhythm so
They started swaying to and fro.
They didn't know just what they had
And that is how the blues really began:
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that
The start of the blues.
And from a jail came the wail
Of a down hearted frail,
And they played that
As part of the blues.
From a whippoorwill out on a hill,
They took a new note,
Pushed it through a horn
'til it was born into a blue note.
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it,
And gave out the news
That the south land
Gave birth to the blues!
Were searching for a diff'rent tune,
One that they could croon
As only they can.
They only had the rhythm so
They started swaying to and fro.
They didn't know just what they had
And that is how the blues really began:
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that
The start of the blues.
And from a jail came the wail
Of a down hearted frail,
And they played that
As part of the blues.
From a whippoorwill out on a hill,
They took a new note,
Pushed it through a horn
'til it was born into a blue note.
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it,
And gave out the news
That the south land
Gave birth to the blues!
The Christmas Song lyrics - Bing Crosby
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
An' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
How to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
An' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
How to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
The Day You Came Along lyrics - Bing Crosby
My heart went leaping
The day you came along
Forgot my weeping
The day you came along
Before I knew it I hummed a little song
The day you came along
I only drifted before you came along
The fog was lifted
Because you came along
I sent the blackbirds right back where they belong
The day you came along
Men have conquered nations
Other men have set them free
Pioneers across the sea
You can turn the pages through the ages but for me
Twas the most eventful day in history
Two souls were mated
The day you came along, a world created
The day you came along
One glance convinced me
I knew I wasn't wrong
The day you came along
Two souls were mated
The day you came along, a world created
The day you came along
One glance convinced me
I knew I wasn't wrong
The day you came along
Love came this day
The day you came along
The day you came along
Forgot my weeping
The day you came along
Before I knew it I hummed a little song
The day you came along
I only drifted before you came along
The fog was lifted
Because you came along
I sent the blackbirds right back where they belong
The day you came along
Men have conquered nations
Other men have set them free
Pioneers across the sea
You can turn the pages through the ages but for me
Twas the most eventful day in history
Two souls were mated
The day you came along, a world created
The day you came along
One glance convinced me
I knew I wasn't wrong
The day you came along
Two souls were mated
The day you came along, a world created
The day you came along
One glance convinced me
I knew I wasn't wrong
The day you came along
Love came this day
The day you came along
The First Noel lyrics - Bing Crosby
The first Noel
The angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they lay
Keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
(They looked up)
(And saw a star)
(Shining in the east)
(Beyond them far)
(And to the earth)
(It gave great light)
(And so it continued)
(Both day and night)
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
This by the light
Of that same star
Three wise men came
From the country far
To seek for a King
Was their intent
And to follow the star
Wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Oh Noel
The angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they lay
Keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
(They looked up)
(And saw a star)
(Shining in the east)
(Beyond them far)
(And to the earth)
(It gave great light)
(And so it continued)
(Both day and night)
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
This by the light
Of that same star
Three wise men came
From the country far
To seek for a King
Was their intent
And to follow the star
Wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Oh Noel
The Road To Morocco lyrics - Bing Crosby
We're off on the road to Morocco
This taxi is tough on the spine (hit me with a band-aid, Dad)
Where they're goin', why we're goin', how can we be sure
I'll lay you eight to five that we'll meet Dorothy Lamour (yeah, get in line)
Off on the road to Morocco
Hang on till the end of the line (I like your jockey. Quiet)
I hear this country's where they do the dance of the seven veils
We'd tell you more (uh-ah) but we would have the censor on our tails (good boy)
We certainly do get around
Like Webster's Dictionary we're Morocco bound
We're off on the road to Morocco
Well look out, well clear the way, 'cause here we come
Stand by for a concussion
The men eat fire, sleep on nails and saw their wives in half
It seems to me there should be easier ways to get a laugh
(shall I slip on my big shoes?)
Off on the road to Morocco
Hooray! Well blow a horn, everybody duck
Yeah. it's a green light, come on boys
We run into Villians but we haven't any fears
Paramount will protect us cause we're signed for five more years(yeah)
Certainly do get around
Like Webster's Dictionary we're Morocco bound
We certainly do get around
Like a complete set of Shakespeare that you get
in the corner drugstore for a dollar ninety-eight
We're Morocco bound
Or, like a volume of Omar Khayyam that you buy in the
department store at Christmas time for your cousin Julia
We're Morocco bound
(we could be arrested)
This taxi is tough on the spine (hit me with a band-aid, Dad)
Where they're goin', why we're goin', how can we be sure
I'll lay you eight to five that we'll meet Dorothy Lamour (yeah, get in line)
Off on the road to Morocco
Hang on till the end of the line (I like your jockey. Quiet)
I hear this country's where they do the dance of the seven veils

The Singing Hills lyrics - Bing Crosby
The singing hills
(Mmm)
Are singing tonight
(Mmm)
And echoing a song of long ago
The singing hills
(Mmm)
Were singing that night
(Mmm)
That lovely night you said, "I love you so"
The wind in the valley joined in our sweet refrain
But now the wind and I
Each night we cry, "Come back again"
Though you are gone
(Mmm)
The song lingers on
(Mmm)
Still echoing among the singing hills
(Mmm)
Are singing tonight
(Mmm)
And echoing a song of long ago
The singing hills
(Mmm)
Were singing that night
(Mmm)
That lovely night you said, "I love you so"
The wind in the valley joined in our sweet refrain
But now the wind and I
Each night we cry, "Come back again"
Though you are gone
(Mmm)
The song lingers on
(Mmm)
Still echoing among the singing hills
The Twelve Days Of Christmas lyrics - Bing Crosby
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
(On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Two turtledoves
(And a partridge in a pear tree.)
On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Three French hens,
(Two turtledoves)
And a partridge in a pear tree.
(On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
(Four calling birds,)
Three French hens,
(Two turtledoves)
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
(Five golden rings.) Five golden rings
(Four calling birds,)
Three French hens,
(Two turtledoves)
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Six geese a-laying,
(Five golden rings.) Five golden rings
(Four calling birds,)
Three French hens,
(Two turtledoves,)
And a partridge in a pear tree.
(On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Seven swans a-swimming,)
Six geese a-laying,
(Five golden rings.) Five golden rings
(Four calling birds,)
Three French hens,
(Two turtledoves)
And a partridge in a pear tree.

Too Romantic lyrics - Bing Crosby
I'm so afraid of night 'cause I'm too romantic.
Moonlight and stars can make such a fool of me.
You know you're much too near, and I am too romantic,
Wouldn't I be a sight on a bended knee.
I'm startled when you whisper, I'll run if you should sigh,
I must be so careful, or I'll kiss my heart goodbye.
You shouldn't let me dream 'cause I'm too romantic,
Don't make me fall unless it could all come true.
Moonlight and stars can make such a fool of me.
You know you're much too near, and I am too romantic,
Wouldn't I be a sight on a bended knee.
I'm startled when you whisper, I'll run if you should sigh,
I must be so careful, or I'll kiss my heart goodbye.
You shouldn't let me dream 'cause I'm too romantic,
Don't make me fall unless it could all come true.
Tumbling Tumbleweeds lyrics - Bing Crosby
I'm a roaming cowboy riding all day long,
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song.
Nights underneath the prairie moon,
I ride along and sing this tune.
See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
I know when night has gone
That a new world's born at dawn.
I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song.
Nights underneath the prairie moon,
I ride along and sing this tune.
See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
I know when night has gone
That a new world's born at dawn.
I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
Twilight On The Trail lyrics - Bing Crosby
When it's twilight on the trail,
And I jog along,
The world is like a dream
And the ripple of the stream is my song
When it's twilight on the trail,
And I rest once more,
My ceiling is the sky
And the grass on which I lie is my floor
Never ever have a nickel in my jeans,
Never ever have a debt to pay,
Still I understand what real contentment means,
Guess I was born that way
When it's twilight on the trail,
And my voice is still,
Please plant this heart of mine
Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill
(Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill)
When it's twilight on the trail
And I jog along,
The world is like a dream
And the ripple of the stream is my song
When it's twilight on the trail,
And I rest once more,
My ceiling is the sky
And the grass on which I lie is my floor
Never ever have a nickel in my jeans,
Never ever have a debt to pay,
Still I understand what real contentment means,
Guess I was born that way
When it's twilight on the trail,
And my voice is still,
Please plant this heart of mine
Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill
(Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill)
When it's twilight on the trail
Wait Till The Sun Shines Nellie lyrics - Bing Crosby
On a Sunday morn sat a maid forlorn
With her sweetheart by her side,
Through the windowpane, she looked at the rain,
"We must stay home, Joe," she cried.
"There's a picnic, too, at the old Point View,
It's a shame it rained today."
Then the boy drew near, kissed away each tear,
And she heard him softly say:
"Wait till the sun shines, Nellie,
When the clouds go drifting by,
We will be happy, Nellie,
Don't you sigh.
Down Lover's Lane we'll wander,
Sweethearts you and I.
Wait till the sun shines, Nellie,
Bye and bye."
"How I long," she sighed, "for a trolley ride
Just to show my brand new gown."
Then she gazed on high with a gladsome cry
For the sun came shining down.
And she looked so sweet on the big front seat
As the car sped on its way,
And she whispered low,
"Say you're all right, Joe,
You just won my heart today."
With her sweetheart by her side,
Through the windowpane, she looked at the rain,
"We must stay home, Joe," she cried.
"There's a picnic, too, at the old Point View,
It's a shame it rained today."
Then the boy drew near, kissed away each tear,
And she heard him softly say:
"Wait till the sun shines, Nellie,
When the clouds go drifting by,
We will be happy, Nellie,
Don't you sigh.
Down Lover's Lane we'll wander,
Sweethearts you and I.
Wait till the sun shines, Nellie,
Bye and bye."
"How I long," she sighed, "for a trolley ride
Just to show my brand new gown."
Then she gazed on high with a gladsome cry
For the sun came shining down.
And she looked so sweet on the big front seat
As the car sped on its way,
And she whispered low,
"Say you're all right, Joe,
You just won my heart today."
Walking The Floor Over You lyrics - Bing Crosby
You left me and you went away,
You said that you'd be back in just a day,
You've broken your promise and you left me all alone,
I don't know why you did dear, but I do know that you're gone.
I'm walking the floor over you,
I can't sleep a wink that is true.
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two,
Walking the floor over you.
Now darling you know I love you well,
I love you more than I can ever tell,
I thought that you wanted me and always would be mine,
But you went and left me here with troubled mind.
I'm walking the floor over you,
I can't sleep a wink that is true.
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two,
Walking the floor over you.
Now someday you may be lonesome too,
Walking the floor is good for you.
Just keep right on walking and it won't hurt you to cry,
Remember that I love you and I will until I die.
I'm walking the floor over you,
I can't sleep a wink that is true.
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two,
Walking the floor over you.
You said that you'd be back in just a day,
You've broken your promise and you left me all alone,
I don't know why you did dear, but I do know that you're gone.
I'm walking the floor over you,
I can't sleep a wink that is true.
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two,
Walking the floor over you.
Now darling you know I love you well,
I love you more than I can ever tell,
I thought that you wanted me and always would be mine,
But you went and left me here with troubled mind.
I'm walking the floor over you,
I can't sleep a wink that is true.
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two,
Walking the floor over you.
Now someday you may be lonesome too,
Walking the floor is good for you.
Just keep right on walking and it won't hurt you to cry,
Remember that I love you and I will until I die.
I'm walking the floor over you,
I can't sleep a wink that is true.
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two,
Walking the floor over you.
We'll Rest At The End Of The Trail lyrics - Bing Crosby
We're weary and tired, our work is all through
But we'll rest at the end of the trail
We'll stand by the fire when there's nothin' to do
When we rest at the end of the trail
If we feel like ropin', we'll hitch to a star
So just keep on ropin', it's not very far
We're weary and tired, our work is all through
But we'll rest at the end of the trail
The road is mighty dusty, old pal
The sun is sinkin' down below the range
We're still together, trusty old pal
Ridin' the trail so strange
If we feel like ropin', we'll hitch to a star
So just keep on ropin', it's not very far
We're weary and tired, our work is all through
But we'll rest at the end of the trail
But we'll rest at the end of the trail
We'll stand by the fire when there's nothin' to do
When we rest at the end of the trail
If we feel like ropin', we'll hitch to a star
So just keep on ropin', it's not very far
We're weary and tired, our work is all through
But we'll rest at the end of the trail
The road is mighty dusty, old pal
The sun is sinkin' down below the range
We're still together, trusty old pal
Ridin' the trail so strange
If we feel like ropin', we'll hitch to a star
So just keep on ropin', it's not very far
We're weary and tired, our work is all through
But we'll rest at the end of the trail
When A Child Is Born lyrics - Bing Crosby
A ray of hope flikkers in the sky
A shiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy fume settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds have changed whisperin the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
[Spoken]
And all of this happened
Because whe world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone's neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever
It's all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
When a child is born
A shiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy fume settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds have changed whisperin the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
[Spoken]
And all of this happened
Because whe world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone's neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever
It's all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
When a child is born
When Day Is Done lyrics - Bing Crosby
When day is done
And shadows fall
I dream of you!
When day is done
I think of all
The joys we knew!
That yearning, returning,
To hold you in my arms,
Won't go love, I know love,
Without you, night has lost it's charms!
When day is done
And grass is wet
With twilight's dew,
My lonely heart is sinking
With the sun!
Although I miss your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!
Although I miss your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!
And shadows fall
I dream of you!
When day is done
I think of all
The joys we knew!
That yearning, returning,
To hold you in my arms,
Won't go love, I know love,
Without you, night has lost it's charms!
When day is done
And grass is wet
With twilight's dew,
My lonely heart is sinking
With the sun!
Although I miss your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!
Although I miss your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!
Where The Blue Of The Night lyrics - Bing Crosby
Where the blue of the night
Meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me
And the gold of her hair
Crowns the blue of her eyes
Like a halo, tenderly
If only I could see her
Oh how happy I would be
Where the blue of the night
Meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me
Where the blue of the night
Meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me
Meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me
And the gold of her hair
Crowns the blue of her eyes
Like a halo, tenderly
If only I could see her
Oh how happy I would be
Where the blue of the night
Meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me
Where the blue of the night
Meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me
Who Calls? lyrics - Bing Crosby
Git along little doggie, git along
Git along little doggie, git along
I'm heading for the last roundup
Gonna saddle old Paint for the last time and ride
So long, old pal, it's time your tears were dried
I'm heading for the last roundup.
Git along little doggie, git along, git along
Git along little doggie, git along,
Git along little doggie, git along, git along
Git along little doggie, git along,
I'm heading for the last roundup
To the far away ranch of the Boss in the sky
Where the strays are counted and branded there go I
I'm heading for the last roundup
I'm heading for the last roundup
Gonna saddle old Paint for the last time and ride
So long, old pal, it's time your tears were dried
I'm heading for the last roundup.
Git along little doggie, git along,
Git along little doggie, git along,
I'm heading for the last roundup
There'll be Buffalo Bill with his long snow-white hair
There'll be old Kit Carson and Custer waiting there
A-riding in the last roundup
Git along little doggie, git along
I'm heading for the last roundup
Gonna saddle old Paint for the last time and ride
So long, old pal, it's time your tears were dried
I'm heading for the last roundup.
Git along little doggie, git along, git along
Git along little doggie, git along,
Git along little doggie, git along, git along
Git along little doggie, git along,
I'm heading for the last roundup
To the far away ranch of the Boss in the sky
Where the strays are counted and branded there go I
I'm heading for the last roundup
I'm heading for the last roundup
Gonna saddle old Paint for the last time and ride
So long, old pal, it's time your tears were dried
I'm heading for the last roundup.
Git along little doggie, git along,
Git along little doggie, git along,
I'm heading for the last roundup
There'll be Buffalo Bill with his long snow-white hair
There'll be old Kit Carson and Custer waiting there
A-riding in the last roundup

You Are My Sunshine lyrics - Bing Crosby
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear as I was sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear I was mistaken
And I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You told me once dear
That you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And you love another
You have shattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear as I was sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear I was mistaken
And I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You told me once dear
That you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And you love another
You have shattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You're A Sweet Little Headache lyrics - Bing Crosby
You're a sweet little headache
But you are lots of fun
I've a good mind to spank you
Then thank you for all you've done
You're a sweet little headache
Full of quaint little schemes
But when I should forget you
I let you disturb my dreams
I thought I could hold my own with you
But you've got me all perplexed
For here am I alone with you
What are you going to do next?
You're a sweet little headache
If you keep on that way
But a sweet little heartache
You'll turn out to be some day
But you are lots of fun
I've a good mind to spank you
Then thank you for all you've done
You're a sweet little headache
Full of quaint little schemes
But when I should forget you
I let you disturb my dreams
I thought I could hold my own with you
But you've got me all perplexed
For here am I alone with you
What are you going to do next?
You're a sweet little headache
If you keep on that way
But a sweet little heartache
You'll turn out to be some day
