"I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now"

"I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now"


You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long-ago
And each has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune,
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.

Does it ever occur to you later my boy, that she's prob'ly doing the same?
If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue,
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear,
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.

I wonder who's kissing her now, I wonder who's teaching her how,
I wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine.
I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now.

"I'd Know You Anywhere"

"I'd Know You Anywhere"


I'd know you anywhere, I'd know that grin,
I'd know you anywhere when you walked in,
I would tingle with a single glance in your eye,
Watching the starlight dance in your eye.

You saw my vacant stare, you understood,
I'd love you anywhere, honest I would,
I was certain this would happen, strange as it seems,
I'd know you anywhere from my dreams.

I want to know, baby

If what you feel is real, girl
'Cause there's a reason
For the things that I say, what I talk about
But oh, I wanna love ya girl

Take a stand, now, and let me know how

"I'll Do Anything But Work"

"I'll Do Anything But Work"


I'll take you strolling, 'round, lover's lane
I'll come to see you, even in the rain
I'll do any, thing for you, but work
Sing your praises, hold your hand
Tell the world that I think you're grand
I'll do any, thing for you, (he-he) but slave
I'll take you, to dine and dance
Fill your ears with sweet romance
See baby, I know I'm handsome but what the heck
I'm all yours if you pay the check
I'm yours to have, yours to hold
But that word 'work' just leaves me cold
I'll do any, thing for you, but work

[Solos]

I'll take you, out to dine and dance
Fill your ears with sweet romance
Baby, I'm so good lookin' it's a shame
But I'm all yours if you pay the check
Yours to have, yours to hold
That word 'work' just leaves me cold
I'll do any, thing for you, but work

"I'll Tell The Man In The Street"

"I'll Tell The Man In The Street"


[She]
I won't tell of my love to the red, red rose
Or the running brook where the sweet magnolia grows.
I won't tell of my love to ev'ry little star
Or the whippoorwill on the hill afar.

I'll tell the man in the street
And everyone I meet
That you and I are sweethearts.
I'll shout it out from the roof
I'll give the papers proof
That we are two complete hearts.
I want the world to know
I'll use the radio.
And when I've said all my say,
Until we're old and gray
You'll never get away from me.

[He]
I'll tell the man in the street
You're crazy with the heat
If you believe I'm yours, dear.
And when you turn out your light
And go to bed at night
You'll never hear my snore, dear.
You can't play hide-and-seek
With my divine physique.
There is no price you can pay
To make me go astray.
You'll never get your way with me.

[Reprise (Act Two)]

[Harry]
I'll tell the men in the street
That Willy is a cheat
Who'd rob us if we let him.

[General]
Hear! Hear!

[Harry]
I'll shout it out from the roof
He's married with a goof
Who broke him when she met him.
[Ensemble]
Hooray!
[Harry]
I want the world to see
That's he's an S.O.B.
[Ensemble]
Oh!!

[Harry]
Even a dog has his day.
And when I bark I say
He'll never get away from me.

"I'm An Old Cowhand"

"I'm An Old Cowhand"


I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And my legs ain't bowed, my cheeks ain't tanned
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay, Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand
I'm a riding fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star state
'cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

[Instrumental-First Line Of A Verse]

And I come to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'bout the big corral where the dogies go
'cause I learned them all on the radio
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
[flutes play one final "Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay"]

"I'm Movin' On"
(originally by Hank Snow)

"I'm Movin' On"
(originally by Hank Snow)



I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen
Now pay me no mind
So I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on

That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You were flyin' too high for my little sky
So I'm movin' on

Some day baby when you had you play
Your gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep on movin', keep rollin' on
I'm through with you too bad you're blue
'Cause I'm movin' on.

Mister engineer take the throttle in hand
And take me down to that southern land
Keep movin' on, keep rollin' on
You can ease my mind if you get me there on time
Move on

Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty woman in Tennessee
Keep movin' on, keep rollin' on
She's fine as can be and she's waitin' on me
Keep movin' on

I'm gonna move, I'm gonna move
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna move
Whoa move, whoa move
Whoa move, whoa gonna move on
Keep on movin' every day every night
And all the time baby

I'm gonna move on, I'm gonna move on
Yea, gonna move I'm gonna move on now
I'm gonna move on I'm gonna move
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
And now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
But I'm movin' on
Move on baby, move on
I said move on, I said move on,
I said move on, I said move on,
Well I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
I said move on, I said move on
I said move on, I said move on

"I'm Old Fashioned"

"I'm Old Fashioned"


I am not such a clever one
About the latest fads
I admit I was never one
Adored by local lads
Not that I ever try to be a saint
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
I'm old fashioned
I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things
The sound of rain
Upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings
This year's fancies
Are passing fancies
But sighing sighs holding hands
These my heart understands
I know I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
Oh please stay old fashioned with me
