"Bugle Call Rag"

"Bugle Call Rag"


You're bound to fall for the bugle call;
You're gonna brag 'bout the Bugle Call Rag.
Thin or fat, young or old;
Shake their shoulders bold.
You're bound to fall for the bugle call;
You're gonna brag 'bout the Bugle Call Rag.
Hold me baby; Let's syncopate to that blue melody;
Just hesitate while a break they take Shh!
While we're dancing please hold me tight; step lively don't lag.

"Bye Bye Blues"

"Bye Bye Blues"


I got a big surprise when I saw you smile
I never dreamed that it could be
But now I realize since I saw you smile
There's only happiness for me
So
Bye bye blues
Bye bye blues

Bells ring
Birds sing
Sun is shining
No more pining
Just we two
Smiling thru
Don't sigh
Don't cry
Bye bye blues
Blues

"Caravan"

"Caravan"


Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan

Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The memory of our caravan

This is so exciting
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms

Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan!

"Chattanooga Choo Choo"

"Chattanooga Choo Choo"


[Intro:]
Hello railroad, is this the railroad?
I want a one-way ticket down to Tennessee
I'm leavin' immediately
Chattanooga here I come!

Pardon me, boy,
Is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo?
Track twenty-nine,
Boy, you can give me a shine.

I can afford
To board a Chattanooga Choo-Choo;
I've got my fare
And just a trifle to spare.

You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four;
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore;
Dinner in the diner; nothing could be finer,
Than to have your ham and eggs in Carolina!

When you hear the whistles blowing eight to the bar,
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far;
Shovel all the coal in; I gotta keep a-rollin',
Woo-woo, Chattanooga, there you are!

There's gonna be
A certain party at the station;
Satin and lace,
I used to call that chick "funny-face."

She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam;
So Chattanooga Choo-Choo,
Won't you, you choo-choo me home!
Chattanooga Choo-Choo!
Won't you choo-choo, choo-choo, choo-choo me home!

"Chinese Rhythm"

"Chinese Rhythm"


You can do most anything, but whatever you do,
There's only one thing, you gotta have Chinese rhythm!

You can see sing and dance and play 'most anything you choose,
There's only one thing, you gotta have Chinese rhythm!

There's rhythm in love songs, rhythm in blues,
There's rhythm in almost anything you do.

When the moon is bright and you're making love,
There's only one thing, you gotta have Chinese rhythm!

Made his jive from here to there
Here's the way he spiels out yonder

"Copper Colored Gal"

"Copper Colored Gal"


Copper colored gal of mine,
I love you 'cause you're so divine,
Say you'll always be my clinging vine,
Copper, copper, copper, copper colored gal of mine!

You've done something to my heart,
You've upset my applecart,
Tell me, honey, when the moon will shine,
Copper colored gal of mine!

Oh, gee, sweet as can be,
You're aces with me,
I mean, aces high,
Me, oh my!
You know why!

Come on, honey, name the day,
The weddin' band is on its way.
Life with you would always be divine,
You copper colored gal of mine!

"Creole Love Song (Creole Love Call)"

"Creole Love Song (Creole Love Call)"


When the days are sad and long,
I just keep wandering on,
To the place I hear a call,
Because the one I love is there;
Back to the fields of cotton
To hear a Creole love song.

"Diga Diga Doo"

"Diga Diga Doo"


Zulu man is feelin' blue
Gear his heart beat a little tattoo
Diga diga doo diga doo doo
Diga diga doo diga doo

You love me and I love you
And when you love it is natural to
Diga diga doo diga doo doo
Diga diga doo diga doo

I'm so very diga diga doo by nature
If you don't say diga diga to your mate
You're gonna lose a papa.

So let those funny people smile
How can there be a Virgin isle
With diga diga doo diga doo doo
Diga diga doo diga doo

No one heeds the marriage laws
Yours is mine and mine is yours
With diga diga doo diga doo doo
Diga diga doo diga doo
