(I Don't Stand) A Ghost Of A Chance lyrics - Bing Crosby

I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I'd found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you'd surrender for a tender kiss or two
You might discover that I'm the lover meant for you
And I'll be true

But what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
'Cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

So what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
'Cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

Along The Santa Fe Trail lyrics - Bing Crosby

Angels come to paint the desert nightly
When the moon is beaming brightly
Along the Santa Fe trail
Stardust scattered all along the highway
On a rainbow-colored sky way
Along the Santa Fe trail

Beside you
I'm riding every hill and dale
Wide shadows hide you
Just like a pretty purple veil
Thereby hangs a tale

I found you
And the mountains that surround you
Are the wall I built around you
Along the Santa Fe trail

An Apple For The Teacher lyrics - Bing Crosby

An apple for the teacher
That seems the thing to do
Because I want to learn
About romance from you.
An apple for the teacher
To show I'm meek and mild,
If you insist on saying
That I'm just a problem child.
You'll get all my attention,
Your wish will be my rule;
And maybe you'll be good to me
And keep me after school
An apple for the teacher
That's how I'd better start,
The after while you may give in
And let me bring my heart

An apple for the teacher
Will always do the trick,
When you don't know
Your lesson in arithmetic
An apple for the teacher
Will meet with great success
If you forgot to memorize
The Gettysburg Address
A little bit of glamour
A charm that's cute and quaint;
And he'll excuse your grammar
And believe you're what you ain't.
You may be just a lemon
But he'll think you're a peach
Just bring an apple for the teacher
When he starts to teach

April Played The Fiddle lyrics - Bing Crosby

April played the fiddle
And my heart began to dance
And I was so surprised to find
My arms around romance

April played the fiddle
And I memorized the tune
And later on a dream and I
Went singing to the moon

Then may began to gossip
And June just winked her eye
And you should have seen
The know-it-all expression on July

April played the fiddle
Ah but here's the funny part
I had to pay the fiddler
With my one and only heart

As Time Goes By lyrics - Bing Crosby

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say, I love you
On this you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
On this you can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
that no one can deny

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

Be Honest With Me lyrics - Bing Crosby

Be honest with me dear whatever you do
Remember you're mine dear so always be true
Where ever you wander on land or on sea
If you really love me be honest with me

My poor heart would break dear if you were untrue
Asleep or awake dear I dream about you
Oh you are my darling you're all that I see
If you really love me be honest with me

Some day I'll return dear kinda make you my own
And how I will yearn dear when I'm all alone
But I never forget dear your sweet memory
If you really love me be honest with me

Between A Kiss And A Sigh lyrics - Bing Crosby

Love needs no debating;
It's 'hello' or 'goodbye';
Yet I'm between a kiss and a sigh.

You keep hesitating;
Can't I get some reply,
'Cause I'm between a kiss and a sigh?

Won't you explain the case?
What will I have to face?
Would I be out of place in your arms?
I don't mind the waiting, if I only knew why,
but I'm between a kiss and a sigh.

Won't you explain the case?
What will I have to face?
Would I be out of place in your arms?
I don't mind the waiting, if I only knew why,
but I'm between a kiss and a sigh.

Birds Of A Feather lyrics - Bing Crosby

I can't be anything w/o you.
Don't ya know it's a shame
I'm sitting at my desk and it's noontime
And I want just to call you.

Cause we go together just like jam
And bread or maybe birds of a feather.
I don't know anything about you.
Don't ya know? that's the game.

I'm sitting on my bed
And I wonder what will it take for u to call me?

We go together,
Hey can you hear me? when I shout out loud
I wish that you could be near me.

I don' care if the bills are paid as long as she is with me.
I don't care if my soul is saved as long as she forgives me.
I don't care if the moon is wrong wishin' and a hoping.
I don't need to be an astronaut as long as you are k-k-kissing me.

Cause we go together just like jam
And bread or maybe birds of a feather.
I don't know anything about you.
Don't ya know? that's the game.

I can't be anything

Brother, Can You Spare A Dime? lyrics - Bing Crosby

They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always there, right on the job

They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al'
It was 'Al' all the time
Why don't you remember? I'm your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, ah, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Oh, say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al'
It was 'Al' all the time
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Can't We Talk It Over? lyrics - Bing Crosby

We were so in love the day love started
Who would think that we would soon be parted?
I just can't believe it's true
I make this appeal to you

Can't we talk it over? Let's talk it over
Before you tell me you're through
Can't we sit together and figure whether
This is the right thing to do

I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we've known
Can't we talk it over before it's over
Before you whisper goodbye forever, let's talk it over, dear

I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we've known
Can't we talk it over before it's over
Before you whisper goodbye forever, let's talk it over, dear

Clementine lyrics - Bing Crosby

In a cavern down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine,
There lived a miner from North Carolina
And his daughter, chubby Clementine.

Now every mornin', just about dawnin'
A'when the sun begins to shine
You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.

A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
Though she weighed two-ninety nine.
The old bridge trembled and disassembled
(Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine.

Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under
(ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line.
Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
I might'a saved that Clementine.

(Ho) broke the record, way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine.
I wasn't nervous ya until the service
That they held for Clementine.

Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler
With a harpoon, your trusty line.
If she shows now, yo, there she blows now,
It just may be chunky Clementine.

(One more time)
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' , oh my darlin' sweet Clementine,
You may be gone
But!
You're not forgotten,
Fare thee well
So long, Clementine
(Bubble sound) Bye!

Dancing In The Dark lyrics - Bing Crosby

Dancing in the dark
Til the tune ends we're dancing in the dark
And it soon ends, we're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone

Looking for the light
Of a new love to brighten up the night
I have you and we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What though love is oh
What though song is oh
Through then we can be young
Here this heart of mine
Make yours part of mine dear one
Tell me that we're one

We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone

And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

Deep In The Heart Of Texas lyrics - Bing Crosby

The stars at night, are big and bright,
Deep in the heart of Texas,
The prairie sky is wide and high,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The sage in bloom is like perfume,
Deep in the heart of Texas,
Reminds me of, the one I love,
Deep in the heart of Texas.

The coyotes wail, along the trail,
Deep in the heart of Texas,
The rabbits rush, around the brush,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The cowboys cry, "Ki-yip-pee-yi,"
Deep in the heart of Texas,
The dogies bawl, and bawl and bawl,
Deep in the heart of Texas.

Did You Ever See A Dream Walking? lyrics - Bing Crosby

Something very strange and mystic happened to me
Something realistic and as weird as can be
Something that I feared, somehow is now endeared to me
And what a funny feeling, odd and yet so true
Did a thing like this ever happen to you?

Did you ever see a dream walking? Well, I did
Did you ever hear a dream talking? Well, I did
Did you ever have a dream thrill you with, "Will you be mine?"
Oh, it's so grand and it's too, too divine

Did you ever see a dream dancing? Well, I did
Did you a ever see a dream romancing? Well, I did
Did you ever see heaven right in your arms, saying, "I love you, I do"
Well, the dream that was walking and the dream that was talking
And the heaven in my arms was you

Did you ever see a dream walking? Well, I did
Did you ever hear a dream talking? Well, I did
Did you ever have a dream thrill you with, "Will you be mine?"
Oh, it's so grand and it's too, too divine

Did you ever see a dream dancing? Well, I did
Did you a ever see a dream romancing? Well, I did
Did you ever see heaven right in your arms, saying, "I love you, I do"
Well, the dream that was walking and the dream that was talking
And the heaven in my arms was you

Dinah lyric - Bing Crosby

Dinah
Is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her
Show her to me.
Dinah
Got those Dixie eyes blazin'
How I love to sit and gazin'
To the eyes of Dinah Lee.
Every night why do I
Shake with fright?
Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me.
Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee.

Mills bros repeat verse.
Bing scats.

Every night why do I
Shake with fright?
Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me.

The name of this song is Dinah.
Said it.
The name of this song is Dinah.
Snag it.
The name of this song is Dinah.
Ah, Tell it.
The name of this song is Dinah.

Dinah
wander to China,
the state of Carolina
Listen, and you know her
I would like to have you show her to me.
Dinah
Got those Dixie eyes blazin'
How I love to sit and gazin'
To the eyes of Dinah Lee.

Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China
I would get me an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee.
