"Sugar (That Sugar Baby O' Mine)"

"Sugar (That Sugar Baby O' Mine)"

Sugar, I call my baby my sugar
I never maybe my sugar
That sugar baby of mine
He's special ration funny
He never asks for my money
All that I give him is honey
And that he can get anytime

I'd make a million trips to his lips
If I were a bee
Because he's sweeter than
sugar candy to me
He's confectionary

Sugar, I never cheat on my sugar
Cause I'm too sweet on my sugar
That sugar baby of mine

I'd make a million trips to his lips
If I were a bee
Because he's sweeter than
sugar candy to me
He's confectionary

Sugar, I never cheat on my sugar
Cause I'm too sweet on my sugar
That sugar baby of mine
And he's not rising
That sugar baby of mine

"Sweet Happy Life"

"Sweet Happy Life"

My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all the days of the year that you live be laughing days
With all my heart, sweet happy life
And may the night times that follow the days be dancing nights

Stars for your smile
Moons for your hair
And someone's wonderful love
For your loving heart to share

My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing
And if a wish can make it be
I wish you spend everyday of your happy life with me

Stars for your smile
Moons for your hair
And someone's wonderful love
For your loving heart to share

My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing
And if a wish can make it be
I wish you spend everyday of your happy life with me

"Talk To Me Baby"

"Talk To Me Baby"

Talk to me baby tell me lies
Tell me lies as sweet as apple pies
And if your lips have never told a fib
You might ad lib with your eyes

Ooh, tell me I'm marvelous, exaggerate
Prevaricate if you must just

Talk to me baby soft and low
And then if you decide it's really so
Swear you'll be mine forever otherwise
Just talk to me and tell me lies

Say that we're helpless in the hands of fate
Prevaricate if you must just

Talk to me baby soft and low
And then if you decide it's really so
Then swear you'll be mine forever otherwise
Ah, just talk to me and tell me lies, lies, lies, lies

A great big beautiful wonderful
Beautiful lies, lies, lies, lies
Great big, great big beautiful lies

"Talkin' To Myself About You"

"Talkin' To Myself About You"

Walkin' by myself to places we knew
Talkin' to myself about you
what a lonesome conversation
I keep asking things and get no answer

Sitting by myself with nothing to do
Talkin' to myself about you
And while I'm listening for
Your knock on the door
And dreaming that you'll soon walk through
I'll keep talking to myself about you

Sitting by myself with nothing to do
Talkin' to myself about you
And while I'm listening for
Your knock on the door
And dreaming that you'll soon walk through
I'll keep talking to myself, talkin' 'bout you

"Tango"

"Tango"

Oh the tango is done with a thin black moustache,
A wide scarlet sash, black boots and a whip
Or the tango is done with seafaring trash,
Callous and brash, fresh off the ship
Or the tango is done as a dangerous dance,
A treacherous step and if one should trip
The frail body breaks with a snap and a twist,
And a gold watch slips onto a thick tattooed wrist
And a gray merchant ship turns black in the sun,
as it heaves to the East when the tango is done.

Butterflies mounted on fields of black velvet
Neatly arranged in gleaming glass trays
One-eyed Etruscans play follow-the-leader
Forever around the edge of the vase

The phonograph's playing an old broken record
A tango and over and over it plays
Over it plays
Over it plays

A medieval tapestry hangs like a warning,
A needlepoint forest of dark green and brown.
The scene is the hunt, you will notice the hunter.
He takes careful aim as your eye travels down,

And finally rests upon the real victim,
Lying quite still in a silk dressing gown.
Lying quite still at the edge of the carpet.
One arm flung out for the peacocks to peck.
Blending in well with the blue and green background
Except for the bright scarlet sash round the neck

He was a collector of beautiful strangers
And life was a party right up to the end
The door always opened to love and loves dangers
Though dead, a lover, a stranger, a friend

Butterflies mounted on fields of black velvet
Neatly arranged in gleaming glass trays
One-eyed Etruscans play follow-the-leader
Forever around the edge of the vase
The phonograph's playing an old broken record
A tango and over and over it plays
Over it plays

"The Alley Cat Song"

"The Alley Cat Song"

He goes on the prowl each night,
Like an alley cat.
Looking for some new delight,
Like an alley cat.

You know, she can't trust him out of sight,
And there's no doubt of that.
He just don't know wrong from right,
Like an alley cat.

He meets them..
And loves them..
And loves them...
Like the "Catsanova" does.

I mean that's no way to treat a pal,
She should tell him "Scat!"
Aren't you sorry for that gal,
With her alley cat?

He meets them..
And loves them..
And loves them..
Like the "Catsanova" does.

I mean that's no way to treat a pal,
She should tell him "Scat!"
Aren't you sorry for that gal,
With her alley cat?

Yeah, that's the sad, sad tale of a lonesome frail.
Yeah, that's the sad, sad tale of a lonesome frail and her alley cat.

"The Best Is Yet To Come"

"The Best Is Yet To Come"

Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

The best is yet to come, and, babe, won't it be fine
You think you've seen the sun, while you ain't seen it shine

Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet

The best is yet to come, and, babe, won't it be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine

Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain that cup dry

Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground

Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
And wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here

The best is yet to come, and, babe, won't it be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine

Come the day, come the day
Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb

"The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)"

"The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)"

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Can help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

They know that Santa's on his way
With toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

"The Christmas Waltz"

"The Christmas Waltz"

(Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas)
(May your ev'ry New Year dream come true)

Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year when the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine in three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours the same thing too

(Santa's on his way)
(He's filled his sleigh with things)
(Pretty things for you and for me)

It's that time of year when the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine in three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours, ev'ryone

(Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas)
(May your ev'ry New Year dream come true)

Merry Christmas!

"The Folks Who Live On The Hill"

"The Folks Who Live On The Hill"

Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high
You and I
Shiny and new a cottage that two can fill
And we'll be pleased to be called
"The folks who live on the hill"

Someday we may be adding a wing or two
A thing or two
We will make changes as any fam'ly will
But we will always be called
"The folks who live on the hill"

Our veranda will command a view of meadows green
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen
And when the kids grow up and leave us
We'll sit and look at the same old view
Just we two

Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill
The folks who like to be called
What they have always been called
"The folks who live on the hill"
