Bing Crosby Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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 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 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)

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
