"The Peddler's Serenade"

"The Peddler's Serenade"



There's a peddler comes to our house
With such wonderful bargains to sell
And he starts our hearts to tingling
Just as soon as he pushed the bell

With his pots and pans so shiny
He's more fun than a penny arcade
Won't you listen to his sing song
Of the peddler's serenade

(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)
What's you gonna buy today
(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)
She's a-like a give away
If you want to buy say you're gonna buy Angelina don't be afraid
(There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade)

Angelina come-a down-a
It-sa the man he's back on the door
He's a gotta more to show you
Than the five and ten cents store
If you're gonna catch-a new husband
He's-a gotta 'bout all the you need
Only don't-a go for the peddler
He's already one wife and a kid

(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)
What's you gonna buy today
(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)
She's a-like a give away
If you want to buy say you're gonna buy Angelina don't be afraid
(There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade)

Every body loves our peddler
He's always so merry and so gay
He's-a pans they clang and they clatter
Making wonderful music all day

There's one for macaroni
And-a one for the garlic and the sauce
It's-a gotta long handle for showing the husband who's boss

(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)
What's you gonna buy today
(Shim a lish a wanna shim a lish a wanna)
She's a-like a give away
If you want to buy say you're gonna buy Angelina don't be afraid
(There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade)
There's where our money goes for the funny peddler's serenade

"The Poor People Of Paris"

"The Poor People Of Paris"


Just got back from Paris France
All they do is sing and dance
All they got is romance
What a tragedy
Every boulevard has lovers
Every lover's in a trance
The poor people of Paris

I feel sorry for the French
Every guy has got a wench
Every couple's got a bench kissing shamelessly
Night and day they're making music
While they're making love in French
The poor people of Paris

Milk or water from a sink
Make a true Parisian shrink
Wine is all he'll ever drink
And it worries me
For with wine as cheap as water
Oh it makes one stop and think
The poor people of Paris

Sister Madam Pierre
Had the craziest love affair
And the day after they parted there
He cries bitterly
Pierre was there to bid her farewell
But he brought his new girl Claire
The poor people of Paris

So don't go to Paris France
Not unless you like to dance
Not unless you want romance
Like those poor inhabitants of Paris

[Spoken:] In the meantime, I got to hurry back there
I think I forgot something....

"The River Seine"

"The River Seine"



There we met and there we parted
By the lovely river Seine
Two young lovers broken hearted
For we knew we'd loved in vain
And though years may go
Some day I know
She'll come to Paris again
And I'll find her where I lost her
By the lovely river Seine

There we met and there we parted
By the lovely river Seine
Two young lovers broken hearted
For we knew we'd loved in vain
And though years may go
Some day I know
She'll come to Paris again
And I'll find her where I lost her
By the lovely river Seine

"The Sailors' Polka"

"The Sailors' Polka"



Come on and play the sailors' polka
Make way for Navy blue
Oh how the girls love to polka
With a sailor who's tried and true

Where there is music and there's moonlight
The Navy knows what to do
So come on and play the sailors' polka
Make way for Navy blue

(Oh the band will start a-playing
When the fleet comes sailing in
They'll be hip hip hip hooray-ing
And the good times will begin)

They'll be gobs and gobs of misses
Who'll be waiting on the shore
With gobs and gobs of kisses
For the gobs that they adore

(Long before they drop anchor
You will hear the music start
Every pretty girl will hanker
To win a sailor's heart)

Yeah, the band will start a-playing
The dancing will begin
When the fleet comes sailing in

Come on and play the sailors' polka
Make way for Navy blue
Oh how the girls love to polka
With a sailor who's tried and true

Where there is music and there's moonlight
The Navy knows what to do
So come on and play the sailors' polka
Make way for Navy blue

"The Small Exception Of Me"

"The Small Exception Of Me"



Everybody knows you're leaving me for good
Everybody tells me now they knew you would
It's a well known secret I just couldn't see
And the whole world knew with a small exception of me

Everybody knows we cried our final tears
Everybody knows we wasted all these years
Long ago they said I'd have to sat you free
And the whole world knew with a small exception of me

With a small exception of me the world is wise
With a small exception of me it's no surprise

So it's funny the way that I could be so blind
Funny when it's out of sight it's out of mind
Now the truth has known and it's plain enough to see
That the whole world knew with a small exception of me

"The Sneaky Little Side Of Me"

"The Sneaky Little Side Of Me"



There's a sneaky little side of me the kind I want to set you free
So I can go see what's waitin' just over the hill
Every now and then I hear something whisper in my ear
Telling me somebody else could give me a thrill

Oh the sneaky little side of me the kind I want to go and see
And I could be happier walking with somebody new
But every time I start to go something in my heart says no
And tells me how lucky I am belongin' to you

And this sneaky little side of me is learning fast
Bout the way I'm livin' and the love I'm givin'
And the love that couldn't last

When you meet me at the door each night
And put your arms around me tight
I know that there just couldn't be anyone sweeter than you
Suddenly to my surprise I begun to realize
That the sneaky little side of me is in love with you too

Oh suddenly to my surprise I begun to realize
That the sneaky little side of me is in love with you too

(Sneaky little side of me the sneaky little side of me
Sneaky little side of me the sneaky little side of me)

"The Story Of Life (All This Is Mine)"

"The Story Of Life (All This Is Mine)"



All this is mine the blue of the sky
The feel of the soil the sun flaming high
The sight of a bird on the wing
The story of life is a glorious thing

All this is mine the green of the corn
The deep of the night the sleepy faced dawn
The cold of the fall or the spring
The story of life is a glorious thing

Wonderful wonderful wonders from heaven above
Miracle of miracles what is there greater than love
All this is your and mine to behold
The hopes and the dreams each day may enfold
What magic each moment can bring
The story of life is a glorious thing

(Wonderful wonderful) Wonders from heaven above
(Miracle of miracles) What is there greater than love
All this is your and mine to behold
The hopes and the dreams each day may enfold
What magic each moment can bring
The story of life is a glorious thing

"The Sun Is Shinin' (On Everybody But Me)"

"The Sun Is Shinin' (On Everybody But Me)"



The sun is shinin' but it's rainin' all over my face
Tricklin' teardrops and I feel out of place
'Cause everybody's happy-go-lucky, it's easy to see
The sun is shinin' on everybody but me

It's been rainin' like this ever since you been gone
And every day I'm bluer than the day before
And if the rain don't stop I can't say
What's gonna become of me because
Every day I miss you a little bit more

The sun is shinin' but it's rainin' all over my face
Tricklin' teardrops and I feel out of place
'Cause everybody's happy-go-lucky, it's easy to see
The sun is shinin' on everybody but me

Somebody asked me were you worthy of a date
I made some excuse and politely slipped away
Because they know as much as I do
When it comes to knowing you
That this time I'm afraid you gotta say

The sun is shinin' but it's rainin' all over the place
Tricklin' teardrops and I feel out of place
'Cause everybody's happy-go-lucky, it's easy to see
The sun is shinin' on everybody but me

The sun is shinin' on everybody but me

"The Sweetheart Of Sigma Chi"

"The Sweetheart Of Sigma Chi"



The girl of my dreams is the sweetest girl
Of all the girls I know
Each sweet co-ed like a rainbow trail
Fades in the afterglow

The blue of her eye and the gold of her hair
Are a blend of the western sky
And the moonlight beams on the girl of my dreams
She's the sweetheart of Sigma Chi

Oh the blue of her eye and the gold of her hair
Are a blend of the western sky
And the moonlight beams on the girl of my dreams
She's the sweetheart of Sigma Chi

"The Test Of Time"

"The Test Of Time"




Tonight I know the kiss we share
Is sweet beyond compare
But will it stand the test of time
The lovely glow that's in your eyes
The music in your sighs
Oh will they stand the test of time

Time changes mountains time changes rivers
Time changes winter to spring
Time changes everything they say
But if the thrill we feel tonight
Is really really right
You'll never take your hand from mine
And our love will stand the test of time

Time changes mountains time changes rivers
Time changes winter to spring
Time changes everything they say
But if the thrill we feel tonight
Is really really right
You'll never take your hand from mine
And our love will stand the test
The test of time
