"Getting To Know You"

"Getting To Know You"

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.

"Go Fly A Kite"

"Go Fly A Kite"

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

"Happy Holiday"

"Happy Holiday"

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.

"Home On The Range"

"Home On The Range"

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

"I Have Eyes"

"I Have Eyes"

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.

"I Haven't Time To Be A Millionaire"

"I Haven't Time To Be A Millionaire"
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

"I Sing Noel"

"I Sing Noel"

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

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"

I'll be home for christmas;
You can plan on me.
Please have snow and mis-tle-toe
And presents on the tree.

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for christmas
If only in my dreams.

I'll be home for christmas;
You can plan on me.
Please have snow and mis-tle-toe
And presents on the tree.

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

"I'm An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)"

"I'm An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)"

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!

"I've Got The World On A String"

"I've Got The World On A String"

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.
