"Deck The Halls"

"Deck The Halls"



Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

"Didn't He Ramble"

"Didn't He Ramble"



Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down

He rambled through the city
He rambled through the street
Little ol lady pass him said
"Look at the market meat!"

Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down

"Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead"



Let the joyous news be spread

The wicked old witch at last is dead

Below, below, yo ho, let's open up and sing
And ring the bells out ding dong the merry oh
Sing it high

"Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me"

"Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me"



Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream
It's over my head

Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you heard
Baby, I haven't a chance

True I've been seen
With someone new
That doesn't mean
I've been untrue
While we're apart
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
Baby, you never will

"Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans"

"Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans"



Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss her each night and day
I know I'm not wrong because the feeling's
Getting stronger the longer I stay away

Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi
Running in the spring

Moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And I'm wishin I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

"Do-Re-Mi"

"Do-Re-Mi"



DO - a deer, a female deer
RE - a drop of golden sun
MI - a name, I call myself
FA - a long long way to run
SO - a needle pulling thread
LA - a note to follow SO
TI - a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to do

Doe! - a deer, a female deer
Ray! - a drop of golden sun
Me! - a name I call myself
Far! - a long long way to run
So! - a needle pulling thread
La! - a note to follow SO
Tea - a drink with jam and bread
That would bring us back to do!

Do, a deer, a female dear

That would bring us back to do...

"Doctor Jazz"

"Doctor Jazz"



Hello Central give me Doctor Jazz
He's got what I need, I'll say he has
When the world goes wrong and I've got the blues
He's the guy who makes me
Put on both my dancin' shoes

The more I get, the more I want it soon
I see Doctor Jazz in all my dreams
When I'm in trouble bounds are mixed
He's the guy who gets me fixed
Hello central give me Doctor Jazz

"Don't Fence Me In"

"Don't Fence Me In"


Well, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
But don't fence me in
Let me ride through that wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences

Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
I don't like hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in

[Instrumental break]

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at that ole moon until I lose my senses
I can't stand them hobbles and I don't care for fences
Don't fence me in

Oh no...don't you fence me in

"Don't Get Around Much Anymore"

"Don't Get Around Much Anymore"



Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

"Don't Like Goodbyes"

"Don't Like Goodbyes"



Don't like good-byes, tears or sighs.
I'm not too good at leavin' time.
I got no taste for grievin' time. No, no - not me.

You've been my near ones, always my dear ones.
I never thought that I would find
Another love, a different kind, but it came to be.

Well, if you think I'm tellin' you lies,
Go try your luck and look into her eyes.
But remember, you must remember she's mine,
And my world overhead has a clear new shine.

Don't want to leave you, sorry to grieve you.
It's travelin' time and I must move on.
Found the girl to lean upon.
And If I could arrange it,
Would I care to change it?
Not me!
