"For Me And My Gal"

"For Me And My Gal"



The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everybody's been knowin', to a weddin' they're goin'
An' for weeks they've been sewin' every Susie and Sal'...

They're congregatin' (ding, dong, ding, dong,)
For me an' my gal (ding, dong, ding, dong,)
The Parson's waitin' (ding, dong, ding, dong,)
For me and my gal (ding, dong, ding, dong,)
An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,
Or three or four, or more,
In Loveland, for me an' my gal...

See the relatives there, lookin' over the pair,
They can tell at a glance, it's a loving romance,
It's a wonderful sight, as the families unite,
See it makes the boy proud, as he says to the crowd...

The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everyone's been knowin' (all our friends and our relations!)
To a weddin' they're goin' (will be at the railroad station!)
An' for weeks they've been sewin' (or, they'll send congratulations!)
Every Susie and Sal' (...for me an' my gal!)

They're congregatin' for me an' my gal,
The Parson's waitin' for me and my gal,
An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,
(Or three or four,) or more, (or more!)
In Loveland! (Loveland!)
In Loveland! (Loveland!)
In Loveland, for me an' my gal!

"Forget Domani"

"Forget Domani"



(Let's forget about domani,

Let's forget about domani,
Let's forget about domani,
For domani never comes!)

Let's for get about domani,
Let's for get about domani,
Let's for get about domani,
For domani never comes!

Tomorrow,
Forget tomorrow,
Let's live for now, and anyhow,
Who needs tomorrow?

The moonlight,
Let's share the moonlight,
Perhaps together,
We will never be again!

Oh what a moon, (che luna)
Oh what a sea, (che mare)
With such a moon and such a sea
And you with me . . .

I get so dizzy when you're standing near,
It's not the music that you hear,
My heart keeps beating like a jungle drum . . .

Let's take the minutes as they speed away,
And hope it's true what people say,
When you're in love, tomorrow never comes!

(Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani
perché forse non verrá)

Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani
perché forse non verrá

(Domani, forget domani
con questa luna e questo mare
e tu con me)

Let's take the minutes as they speed away,
And hope it's true what people say,
When you're in love, tomorrow never comes!

Let's for get about domani,
Let's for get about domani,
Let's for get about domani,
For domani never comes!

Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani
perché forse non verrá

Domani never comes . . .
Tomorrow never comes!

"Funny How Time Slips Away"

"Funny How Time Slips Away"


Well, hello there!
My, it's been a long, long time...
How am I doin'? Oh, I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now, and it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee! ain't it funny, how time slips away?

How's your new love?
I hope he's doin' fine
Heard you told him that you'd love him 'till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing,
the same thing you told me, seems like just the other day

Gee! ain't it funny, funny how time slips away?

[instrumental break - sax solo]

Just you remember, what I tell you
that in time you're gonna pay
and it's surprisin',
surprisin' how time slips away!

"Gigi"

"Gigi"




Gigi, am I a fool without a mind
Or have I merely been too blind to realize?
Oh Gigi, why you've been growin' up
Before my very eyes

Gigi, you're not at all
The funny awkward little girl I knew
Oh no, overnight there's been
A breathless change in you

Gigi, why you were tremblin' on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinkin' at a star?
Oh Gigi, have I been standin'
Up too close or back too far?

When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you
The way you are?

Oh Gigi, have I been standin'
Up too close or back too far?

When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you
The way you are?

"Girl Of My Dreams"

"Girl Of My Dreams"


Girl of my dreams, I love you
Honest I do, you are so sweet
If I could just hold your charms
Again in my arms
Then, life would be complete!

Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!

And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!

[instrumental break]

Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!

And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!

"Give Myself A Party"

"Give Myself A Party"


I've got a lot of memories to last me the rest of my life
so if you don't wanna love me, baby that'll be alright
I'm gonna take all the lovin' that I have for you
gonna take all the loneliness an' sit right down with the blues!

I'm gonna give myself a party, an' serve old memories
give my self a party, think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness that once we knew
gonna give myself a party, just me an' the blues!

[instrumental break]

A few of your love letters, a photograph or two

a gift you gave on my birthday with words of "I love you"
There's lots of things to think about, when you're feelin' blue
so I'm gonna take all the loneliness, sit right down with the blues!

I'm gonna give myself a party, an' serve old memories
give my self a party, think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness that once we knew
I'm gonna give myself a party, just me an' the blues!

...just me an' the blues!

"Glendora"

"Glendora"


I'm in love with a dolly named, Glendora
She works in the window of a big department stor-a
Eyes of blue, hair like gold
Never been young, but she'll never get old
Oh, Glendora
I wanna see more of you

O' Glendora, O' Glendora
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you

She's so shy that I don't know how I found her
With three big body guards always workin' around her
One just nods, an' two just grins
An' three got a mouth full of safety pins
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you
(You, more of you)

(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you)
(More of you)

[Instrumental Interlude]

I stand left an' I stand right
Outta my head 'cause I'm outta sight
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you

Late last night at the store they did some changin'
An' I stood watchin' when they started re-arrangin'
She lost her wig, she lost her arms
An' when they got through she lost all of her charms
O' Glendora, what did they do to you

(What they do, what they do, what they do)
(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, what did they do to you)

(What they do, what they do, what they do)
(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, what did they do to you)

(Do to you, oh, what did they do to you)
O' Glendora, what did they do to you

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"



God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour,
Was born on Christmas day . . .

To save us all from Satan's power,
When we were gone astray,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

From God our heavenly father,
A blessed Angel came,
And unto certain Shepherds,
Brought tidings of the same . . .

How, that in Bethlehem was born,
The Son of God by name,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

The Shepherds at these tidings,
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a feeding,
In tempest storm and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straight way,
The blessed babe to find,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

"Goodbye Sue"

"Goodbye Sue"



They were standing in a crowded station,
So unaware,
Of all the people there!
I didn't mean to hear their conversation,
But anyone could tell,
It was their last farewell!

Good-bye Sue,
All the best of luck to you!
You've been my only gal,
What's more, my best pal!

Please don't cry,
Smile until the clouds roll by!
Don't kiss me dear, just walk away,
Or I could never ever say,
Good-bye, good-bye Sue!

(Good-bye Sue) My little Sue!
(All the best of luck to you!) Good luck to you!
(You've been my only gal,
What's more, my best pal!
My best pal!)

Please don't cry,
Smile until the clouds roll by!
Don't kiss me dear, just walk away,
Or I could never ever say,
Good-bye, good-bye Sue!

"Goodnight, Sweet Jesus"

"Goodnight, Sweet Jesus"



Goodnight, sweet Jesus
Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight, sweet Jesus
Guard us in sleep
Our souls and bodies
In thy love keep

Waking or sleeping
Keep us in sight
Dear gentle saviour
Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight, dear Jesus
Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight sweet Jesus
Pray that each day
Of our lives mortal
Thus pass away

Thy love o'er watching
Guiding our right
Dear gentle saviour
Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight dear Jesus
Goodnight, goodnight
