"Hold Me"

"Hold Me"



Hold me
Honey won't you hold me
Hold me
Never let me go

Take me
Honey won't you take me
Never to forsake me
'cause I love you so

Thrill me
Let your kisses thrill me
Just like you alone can do
Hold me
Tenderly enfold me
Never try to hold me from you

Thrill me
Let your kisses thrill me
Just like you alone can do
Hold me
Tenderly enfold me
Never try to hold me from you

"Hollywood Or Bust"

"Hollywood Or Bust"



(Land of stardust land of glamour)
(Hollywood Hollywood)
Land of stardust and land of glamour
Vistavision and cinerama
Everyone considers it a must
To get to Hollywood or bust

Kids from Kansas to Pennsylvania
Soon develop that movie mania
Driving their jalopies through the dust
And out to Hollywood or bust

Underneath that moonlight in Malibu
Lovers stroll in the dark
Jeepers creepers ten to one sleepers are winning at Hollywood Park

Land of burgers and land or weenies
Bathing beauties in their bikinis
Mingle with the lower upper crust
You'll see your favorite dolly out and jolly
Hollywood or bust

(Sound the trumpets strike the cymbals)
(Boys from Bonwit and girls from Gimbels)
(Shaking off that old Manhattan dust)
(To get to Hollywood or bust)
(Town of tinsel and town of bubbles)
(Drive-in theaters and daily doubles)
(Let me tell you mister it's a must)
(To get to Hollywood or bust)

Drugstore cowboys Hollywood Indians extras looking for jobs
Waiting for someone to discover them down at the counter of Schwabs
Land of burgers and land of weenies
Bathing beauties in their bikinis
Mingle with the lower upper crust
You'll see your favorite dolly out and jolly
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood or bust

"Home"

"Home"



When shadows fall and leaves whisper the day is ending
My thoughts are ever wandering home
When crickets call my heart is forever yearning
Once more to be returning.

When the hills can see the settin' sun
Stars begin to spark one by one
Nights covers all and though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dream will ever take me home.

Nights covers all and though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dream will ever take me home...

"Hominy Grits"

"Hominy Grits"



Oh give me some hominy grits
And some red sugar-cured ham
Give me a great big bowl of gravy
I'd be such a happy man
If I could see the magnolias and azaleas in bloom
Let me up to the table and give me lots of elbow room

Then pass me that mammy fried okie
And some good old black eyed peas
Give me a hay rack full of biscuits
Make my coffee black if you please
If you feed me out of Dixie in a style so grand
You'll have yourself a happy man
Sorghum molasses
You'll have yourself a happy man

Now give me some of the hominy grits boy
Or shut my mouth with a great big slab of that sugar-cured ham
And about a half a gallon of this old thickened gravy
And brother you're gonna have yourself a mighty happy man
Well it seems like when you eat stuff like that
You can see the magnolias on them honeysuckles
Well you knows that they're in bloom
Oh set me down to that table, boy, scoot over
And give me lots of elbow room

Then pass me that mammy-fried okie
And some good old black eyed peas
Give me a hayrack full of hot biscuits
And make my coffee black if you please
If you feed me out of Dixie in a style oh so grand
You'll have yourself a happy man

Sorghum molasses
You'll have yourself a happy man

"Honey"
(originally by Bobby Goldsboro)

"Honey"
(originally by Bobby Goldsboro)



See the tree how big it's grown
But friend that hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it was just a twig.

And the first snow came and she ran out
To brush the snow away it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped
And almost hurt herself I laughed till I cried.

She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart, I loved her so
I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago.

It would sure embarrass her
When I came in from working late 'cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there
And crying over some sad and silly late, late show.

And honey, I miss you I'm being good
I'd love to be with you if only I could.

She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck.

I came home unexpectedly
Caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day
It was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing, she went away.

And honey, I miss you and I'm being good
I'd love to be with you if only I could.

Yes, one day while I wasn't at home
When she was there and all alone the angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey
And I wake up nights and call her name.

Now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played and love grew up
A small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed that honey loved.

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
Laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it was just a twig...

"Houston"

"Houston"



Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody puts me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

I got holes in both of my shoes
Well I'm a walking case of the blues
Saw a dollar yesterday
But the wind blew it away
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

I haven't eaten in about a week
I'm so hungry when I walk I squeak
Nobody calls me friend
It's sad the shape I'm in
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
I got a girl waiting there for me
Well at least she said she'd be
I got a home and a big warm bed
And a feather pillow for my head
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody put me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

"How About You / Blue Moon"

"How About You / Blue Moon"


I like New York in June how about you
I like a Gershwin tune how about you
I like a fireside when a storm is due
I like potato chips, moonlight and motor trips how about you
I'm mad about good books can't get my thrill
And James Durante's looks give me a thrill

[movie dialog]

You saw me standing alone
Without a dream of my own
Without love

"How Do You Speak To An Angel"

"How Do You Speak To An Angel"



How do you speak to an angel
I'm completely in the dark
When you know that you've just met an angel
Is there a proper remark

We were alone for a moment
Why was I lost in a cloud
Do you speak to an angel in a whisper
Or do you just say I love you out loud

We were alone for a moment
Why was I lost in a cloud
Do you speak to an angel in a whisper
Or do you just say I love you out loud

"How Sweet It Is"

"How Sweet It Is"



How sweet it is hearing a nightingale
Echo would call to his mate when the night shadows fall
How sweet that rose ask the bee for it knows
Where the honey drips from honey lips where red roses grow

How sweet it is all of those lovely things
But darling they can't compare with dreams I share with you
I know the glow of love in our hearts like the stars forever will shine
How sweet it is to know that you're mine

How sweet it is hearing a nightingale
Echo will call to his mate when the night shadows fall
How sweet that rose ask the bee for it knows
Where the honey drips from honey lips where red roses grow

How sweet it is all of those lovely things
But darling they can't compare with dreams I share with you
I know the glow of love in our hearts like the stars forever will shine
How sweet it is (How very sweet it it)
How sweet it is to know that you're mine
