"Time To Smile"

"Time To Smile"



Time to smile
And laugh it up awhile
You start it off
And I’ll be next in line

I bet we’ll find to our satisfaction
That we both have started
A chain reaction

When you grin
You let the sunshine in
And when the sun shines in
It’s all worthwhile

No matter what the time of the day is
Any time’s the time to smile
Yes!

So time to smile
Laugh it up awhile
We’re playing dial-a-smile
Here’s how it goes

Get on the phone whenever you’re gloomy
Call me up and whisper your troubles to me

Day or night
The time is always right
There’s not a clock insight
They’re outta style

No matter what the time of the day is
Any time’s the time to
Any time’s the time to
Any time’s the time to smile

"Toot, Toot, Tootsie! (Goodbye)"

"Toot, Toot, Tootsie! (Goodbye)"



Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes me
Kiss me, Tootsie, and then
Do it over again, watch for the mail, I'll never fail
If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail
Toot, toot, Tootsie don't cry
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye

Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes me
Kiss me, Tootsie, and then
Do it over again, watch for the mail, I'll never fail
If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail
Toot, toot, Tootsie don't cry
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye

"Top Hat, White Tie And Tails"

"Top Hat, White Tie And Tails"



I just got an invitation through the mails:
"Your presence requested this evening, it's formal
A top hat, a white tie and tails"
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails
Because I'm invited to step out this evening
With top hat, white tie and tails

I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
Brushin' off my tails

I'm dudein' up my shirt front
Puttin' in the shirt studs
Polishin' my nails

I'm steppin' out, my dear
To breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class
And I trust that you'll excuse my dust when I step on the gas

For I'll be there
Puttin' down my top hat
Mussin' up my white tie
Dancin' in my tails

"Touch Of Your Lips"

"Touch Of Your Lips"



The touch of your lips upon my brow,
Your lips that are cool and sweet,
Such tenderness lies in their soft caress,
My heart forgets to beat.

The touch of your hands upon my head,
The love in your eyes a-shine,
And now, at last, that moment divine,
(That look in your eyes)
The touch of your lips on mine.

"Touch The Earth"

"Touch The Earth"



Lean down, touch the Earth
Reach up and touch the sky
Reach out, touch the hearts of strangers passing by
You’ll find as long as you live
All you can hold to is what you can give
So lean down and touch a child
Reach out, touch the sea
You’ll find there’s love to share
Wherever you may be
For nothing can match
The beauty of touching the Earth with love

"Trapped In A Web Of Love"

"Trapped In A Web Of Love"



Love's the big game hunter who held a poison dart
I was game and you took aim and you struck me to my heart

And now I’m
Trapped in a web of love
Yes, I'm trapped in a web of love
Trapped, trapped, trapped, I’m
Trapped in a web of love

Love's a big witch doctor who stirred a brew for me
I took sips from your sweet lips and now I can't get free

Because I’m
Trapped in a web of love
Yes, I'm trapped in a web of love
Trapped, trapped, trapped, I’m
Trapped in a web of love

Like a bird in a cage flipping it's wings in rage
I can't fly away
You've clipped my wings I've got to stay

Love's a green eyed monster with oh so many charms
It wrapped itself around my heart with sixty million arms

And now I’m
Trapped in a web of love
Yes, I'm trapped in a web of love
Trapped, trapped, trapped, I’m
Trapped in a web of love

Love’s a big, black cobra that reared its ugly head
It got me hung with honey tongue then I wished that I were dead

I am
Trapped in a web of love
Yes, I'm trapped in a web of love
Trapped, trapped, trapped, I’m
Trapped in a web of love

Love’s a big magician with great, big bulging eyes
Double whammed and alakazam-ed and you cut me right down to size

Now I’m
Trapped in a web of love
Yes, I'm trapped in a web of love
Trapped, trapped, trapped, I’m
Trapped, trapped in a web of love

"Trav'lin' Light"

"Trav'lin' Light"



I'm trav'lin' light
Because my gal has gone
So from now on
I'm trav'lin' light
She said goodbye
And took my heart away
So from today
I'm trav'lin' light

No one to see
I'm free as the breeze
No one but me
And my memories
Some lucky night
She may come back again
But until then
I'm trav'lin' light

"Tricks"

"Tricks"



Tricks, devilish tricks, you devil, you
You've got a few tricks that you do
Like bringing your lips so close to mine, I shiver and shake
And makin' me feel that I don't care, what chances I take

Tricks, dangerous tricks, you've got me hexed
I'm so perplexed
What's comin' next
That magical thing you do to me whenever we touch
That makes me begin to want your touch a little too much

Tricks, wonderful tricks, though I say "No"
I know, you know, I love 'em so
I'm hollerin' "Stop" but that's my way of beggin' for more
'Cause if there's anything about you that I adore

It's all of your tricks, devilish tricks
Dangerous tricks, wonderful tricks
Beautiful tricks, don't stop with those tricks
I need those tricks, those tricks are my kicks, crazy tricks

"True Blue Lou"

"True Blue Lou"



Down in the poolroom
Some of the gang were
Talking of gals they knew
Women are all the same, said Joe

Then one dizzy bird
Said, pal, ain't you heard
The story of True Blue Lou

Listen and get an earful, Joe
While I remind you she was
A dame in love with a guy
She stuck to him
But didn't know why

Everyone blamed her
Still they all named her
True Blue Lou

He gave her nothing
She gave him all
But when he had
His back to the wall

Who fought to save him
Smiled and forgave him
True Blue Lou

He got a break and went
Away to get a new start
But poor kid, she never got a break
Except the one way
Down in her heart

Maybe somewhere
In heaven up above
There's a reward
For that kind of love

Angels won't blame her
They too will name her
True Blue Lou

"Twilight World"

"Twilight World"



Twilight world
Over the China sea
Sings me a melody
From ages ago

In a twilight world
Watching the sampans pass
I fill a frosty glass
As lanterns burn low

Life is a changing panorama
Love is a dancing butterfly
Catch them both while we may
Come to Spain or Cathay
I don’t want to miss that will o’ the wisp
Passing by

Life is holding out a twilight world
Don’t let it slip away
Come take it while we may
Make it begin

Let’s find our twilight world
Before the night sets in
