"The Man Who Plays The Mandolino"

"The Man Who Plays The Mandolino"



With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy

Italians love to sip a cup of cappuccino
And listen to the man who plays the mandolino
You offer him a cigarette a glass of wine
That's how he's paid to serenade your lady fair

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy

He seems like such a happy man
The man who plays the mandolino
He sings a song of sweet romance for all the lovers as they dance
But all he's holding in his arms is just a little mandolino
He has no woman of his own so every night he walks alone

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy

(And while he's strumming songs of love the man who plays the mandolino)
(His eyes are always looking for a senorina to adore)
He drinks a toast to his true love each time he lifts a glass of vino
And so until that lucky day he looks for her along the way

With his little mandolino
And a twinkle in his eye
Senorinas he can win
Always for another guy
(Both) The man who plays the mandolino

"The Middle Of The Night Is My Cryin' Time"

"The Middle Of The Night Is My Cryin' Time"



When you said goodbye I made up a lie told every one that I knew
Our love was not real so I played a field and that I never loved you
I put up a front and walked down the street foragin' a smile at the time
And nobody knows I'm missin' you so it's drivin' me out of my mind

The middle of the night is when I cry
The middle of the day is when I lie
Tell everyone that I'm doing fine
But the middle of the night is my cryin' time

All of our friends ask where I've been they haven't seen me around
I just give a wink and I'm hopin' they think I've been out paintin' the town
Sometimes it seems alone in my dreams I'm holdin' you once again
When I awake it's so hard to take and that's when the teardrops begin

Oh the middle of the night is when I cry...
I put up a front and walked down the street...

The middle of the nigh is my cryin' time
The middle of the day is my lyin' time
I tell everyone that I'm doing fine
But the middle of the night is my cryin' time
(The middle of the nigh is his cryin' time)
The middle of the nigh is my cryin' time
The middle of the nigh is my cryin' time

"The Money Song"
(feat. Jerry Lewis)



If you got it you don't need it
If you need it you don't got it
You don't get shame on you
Funny funny funny what money can do

Them that have it get more of it
Less they need it the more they love it
And it sticks to them like glue
Funny funny funny what money can do

Ask the rich man he'll confess
Money can't buy happiness
Ask the poor man he don't doubt
But he'd rather be miserable with than without

If you spend it please be wiser
If you save it you're a miser
You don't want it you're cuckoo
Funny funny funny what money can do

[JL] La la money

"The Night Is Young And You're So Beautiful"

"The Night Is Young And You're So Beautiful"



The night is young and you're so beautiful
Here among the shadows beautiful lady
Open your heart the sea is set the breezes sing of it
Can't you get into the swing of it
Lady where do we start

When the lady is kissable
And the evening so cool
Any dream is permissible
In the heart of a fool

Oh the moon is high and you're so glamorous
And if I seem over amorous
Lady what can I do
The night is young and I'm in love with you

The moon is high and you're so glamorous
And if I seem over amorous
Lady what can I do
The night is young and I'm in love with you

"The Object Of My Affection"

"The Object Of My Affection"



The object of my affection can change my complexion from white to rosy red
Anytime she holds my hand, tells me that she's mine
There are many girls who can thrill me and some who can fill me with
dreams of happiness
But I know I'll never rest until she says she's mine
I'm not afraid she'll leave me cause she's not the kind who'll be unfair
But instead I trust her implicitly
She can go where she wants and go do what she wants, I don't care

The object of my affection can change my complexion from white to rosy red
Anytime she holds my hand and tells me that she's mine
There are many girls who can thrill me and some who can fill me with
dreams of happiness
But I know I'll never rest until she says she's mine
I'm not afraid she'll leave me cause she's not the kind who'll be unfair
But instead I trust her implicitly
She can go where she wants and go do what she wants, I don't care

The object of my affection can change my complexion from white to rosy red
Anytime she holds my hand and tells me that she's mine

"The Old Calliope"
(feat. Jerry Lewis)

"The Old Calliope"
(feat. Jerry Lewis)



My grandpa was a minstrel man
A minstrel man was he
And to tell the truth I guess I've got some minstrel blood in me

You can have all the harps in heaven
Blow all the horns here on the ground
But I find I still get my greatest thrill
Every time I hear this sound

I love to hear that old calliope
I love the melody of an old calliope
And when you hear the thrilling harmony
Gather round the minstrel's show's in town

It sounds so good
That old calliope
What is more heavenly
Than an old calliope
Here comes the band
Oh what a sight to see
Gather round the minstrel's show's in town

Banjos strumming
Folks are humming
Minstrel's coming
What a show what a show
[Both] It's the finest show I know

It's coming near [JL] Coming near coming near
That old calliope [JL] What a sight to see
Oh what a melody [JL] What a melody
Oh the old calliope [JL] Old calliope
[Both] So loud and clear
That thrilling harmony
Gather round the minstrel's show's in town

There's the interlocutor
And Mr. Bones so full of life
Who's that lady you were with last night
[JL] That was no lady that was my wife
[DM] Ha ha [JL] Ha Ha [DM] Ho ho [JL] Ho ho
[Both] What a show what a show what a show

Says the interlocutor
To Mr. Bones so full of pride
Why does a chicken cross the road
[JL] Why to get to the other side

I love to hear that old calliope
I love the melody of an old calliope
[JL] And when you hear that thrilling harmony
[Both] Gather round the minstrel's show's in town

"The One I Love (Belongs To Somebody Else)"

"The One I Love (Belongs To Somebody Else)"



The one I love belongs to somebody else
She means her tender songs for somebody else
And even when I have my arms around her
I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else

Oh the hands I hold belong to somebody else
I bet they're not so cold to somebody else
It's tough to be alone on a shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The one I love belongs to somebody else

It's tough to be alone...
Somebody else somebody else somebody else

"The Parachute Jump"

"The Parachute Jump"



The parachute jump the parachute jump
It's thrilling to do a dance that's new the parachute jump
When the music begins to rise
Then you begin to glide
Bouncing from side to side the parachute jump

You leap into space smile on your face
But what do you know down there below the world is in place
Hold it steady so you won't slip
Atta boy let her rip
Then you begin to dip, the parachute jump

You dance and when you dance the angels are singing songs from high on the blue
You dance so high a dance suddenly heavens doors are open to view
You sway and as you sway
All of your dreams it seems are coming true
You whirl into a spin
Loving the spin you're in when you do do do

Parachute jump, the parachute jump
You drop and drop and pop you stop and land with a bump
If you really would like to fly
Feel like a bird on high
Take my advice and try the parachute jump
(Parachute jump, the parachute jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump)
(The parachute jump)

"The Peanut Vendor"

"The Peanut Vendor"


[background chorus]

(Peanut do bop do bop)
(Peanut do bop do bop)
In Cuba each merry maid wakes up with this seranade
Peanuts (they're nice and hot)
Peanuts (he sells a lot)
Peanuts
If you haven't got bananas don't be blue
Peanuts in a little bag are calling you
Don't waste them (no tummy ache)
You'll taste them (when you're awake)
For at the very break of day
The peanut vendor's on his way
At dawning the whistle blows
(through every city, town and country lane
you hear him sing his plantive little strain)
And as he goes by to you he'll say
(Big jumbos) big jumbo ones
(Come buy those) peanuts roasted today
(Come buy those freshly roasted today)

If you're looking for a moral to this song
50 million monkeys can't be wrong
(Peanuts do bop do bop)
(Peanuts do bop do bop)
(Peanuts do bop do bop)

(In Cuba his smiling face is welcome most anyplace)
(Peanuts they hear him cry)
(Peanuts they all reply)
(If you're looking for an early morning treat)
(Get some double jointed peanuts good to eat)
For breakfast (or dinnertime)
For supper (most anytime)
The merry twinkle in his eye
He's got a way that makes you buy
(Each morning) that whistle blows
(Are you more than I sell)

If an apple keeps the doctor from your door
Peanuts ought to keep him from you even more
(Peanuts) we'll meet again
This street again
We'll eat again
You Peanut Man, that peanut man's gone
(Peanut, peanut, peanut)

"The Peddler Man"



(Peddler Man, Peddler Man)

Come along ladies look and buy
Come along ladies don't be shy
Ladies, ladies here's the peddler man

I'm just a poor but honest peddler
I got a wagon and a donkey
If you need pots, I've got lots
Need a hat, I've got that
Take your time, I've got time

I'm still in my prime Peddler Man
Ten I love, nine I've forgot
Giddiup donkey, one more mile
Giddiup donkey, stop awhile
What a lot of pretty girls I've met

Giddiup donkey, don't be slow
Giddiup donkey, home we go
To the only one I can't forget (Peddler Man, Peddler Man)

Oh mama mama here's the peddler man
You want a gown blue or brown
Want some hose, I've got those
Look and buy, don't be shy
