"Keep Smiling At Trouble"

"Keep Smiling At Trouble"



When you’ve learned that life
Is what you make it
Then you know the secret of it all

Find your share of happiness
And take it
Make life a song
As you go along

Keep smiling at trouble
For trouble’s a bubble
And bubbles will soon go away

With never a sadness
And nothing but gladness
We’d weary of life in a day

Be like the violets that doze ‘neath the chilled winter snows
They bravely wait for the May

So keep smiling at trouble
For trouble’s a bubble
And bubbles will soon go away

So keep smiling at trouble
For trouble’s a bubble
And bubbles will soon go away

And bubbles will soon go away

"Lady Is A Tramp"

"Lady Is A Tramp"



She wined and dined on mulligan stew
And never wished for turkey
As she hitched and hiked and grifted too
From Maine to Albuquerque
Alas, she missed the Beaux Arts Ball, and what is twice as sad
I was never at a party where they honored Noel Ca-ad (Coward)
But social circles spin too fast to see
The "hobohemia" is the place to be

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She likes the theater, but never comes late
She never bothers, with people she hates
That's why the lady is a tramp

She won’t like crap games, with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, and it's o’k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, it's o’k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

That's why the lady is a tramp

"Last Night When We Were Young"

"Last Night When We Were Young"



Last night when we were young
Love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real so right
Ages ago last night

Today the world is old
You flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star that shone so bright
Ages ago last night?

To think that spring had depended
On merely this: a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
Could slip away in one little daybreak

So now, let's reminisce
And recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
When we were young last night

"Laughing At Life"

"Laughing At Life"



Happiness always comes around to bless
Happy hearted ones, I guess
Its true
Get your share
There’s a lot of joy to spare
Any heart that’s free from care
Will do

Don't mind the rain drops
Wait till the rain stops
You'll find the sun laughing at life
No road is lonely, if you will only
Smile through the tears, laughing at life
Live for tomorrow, be happy today
Laugh all your sorrow away
Start now and cheer up
The skies will clear up
Lose all your blues laughing at life

"Laura"

"Laura"



Laura is the face in the misty lights
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that flows on a summer night
That you can never quite recall

And you see Laura
On the train that is passing through
Those eyes, how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream

She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream

"Lazy Afternoon"

"Lazy Afternoon"



It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view,
But us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
In the meadows cows are sleeping
And the speckled trouts stop leaping up stream

As we dream
A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows

It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me

"Lazy Day"

"Lazy Day"



Why do I gaze for hours
Counting the stars up above?
Baby, talking to all the flowers
It’s a lazy day in love

Why do I laugh all over?
Why am I limp as a glove?
It’s a wonderful world of clover
On this lazy day in love

I watch my heart fall apart
In a million pieces
Making eyes at the moon
Like its out of its earthly mind

We meet and the beat of my pulse increases
And I know very soon
I’ll be leaving this planet behind

Day after day I wake up
Whistling the song of a dove
What a fabulous life to take up
It’s a lazy day in love

Day after day I wake up
Whistling the song of a dove
What a fabulous life to take up
It’s a lazy day in love

"Let There Be Love"

"Let There Be Love"



Let there be you
Let there be me
Let there be oysters
Under the sea
Let there be wind
And th’occasional rain
Chile con carne
And sparkling champagne
Let there be birds
Who sing in the trees
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But most of all, please
Let there be love
Let there be Frank
Perry and Bing
Let there be great songs
For singers to sing
Let there be sports cars
And ivy league clothes
Sponsors and cha-chas
And frantic mambos
Let there be moons
Circling in space
Let there be flutes
And Princess Grace
Let Sputnik zoom
Its way up above
But most of all, please
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
