Somewhere Over The Rainbow


When all the world Is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There’s a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

Once by a word only lightly spoken
All your dreams are broken for a while
Sadness comes and joy goes by
But every tear, like the rain descending
Finds a happy ending in a smile
Doubts and fears all fade and die
To the blue beyond the grey
Love again will find its way
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby 
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, That’s where you’ll find me  
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, That’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?

I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing


I’d like to build the world a home And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow-white turtle doves
I’d like to teach the world to sing, In perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my arms And keep it company
I’d like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills For peace throughout the land  

That’s the song I hear (I’d like to teach the world to sing) 
Let the world sing today (In perfect harmony) 
I’d like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony
Laa la la laah, Do-do dooh do-do dooh
Ahh ha ha haah ahaa ha ha, La la laah

I’d like to build the world a home And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow-white turtle doves
I’d like to teach the world to sing, In perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my arms And keep it company
I’d like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills For peace throughout the land  

Dancing Queen


You can dance, you can jive, you’re having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance, And when you get the chance…

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive, you’re having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the Dancing Queen

You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
Leave them burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a dance, And when you get the chance…

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive, you’re having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the Dancing Queen

Memory


Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading, Roses wither away
Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn, 
I am waiting for the day

Midnight, not a sound on the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was, 
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters, And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life, And I mustn’t give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too, 
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days, The stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies another night is over, Another day is dawning

Touch me, it’s so easy to leave me, All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun, If you touch me 
You’ll understand what happiness is,
Look, a new day has begun

I Have A Dream


I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope, with anything
If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale
You can take the future, even if you fail

I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream, I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream, I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through, reality
And my destination, makes it worth the while
Pushin’ through the darkness, still another mile

I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream, I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream, I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope, with anything
If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale
You can take the future, even if you fail 

I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream, I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream, I have a dream


Leaning On A Lamppost


I’m leaning on a lamp, maybe you think,   I look a tramp,
Or you may think I’m hanging ’round to steal a car.
But no I’m not a crook, and if you think, that’s what I look,
I’ll tell you why I’m here, and what my motives are.
 
I’m leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street,
In case a certain little lady comes by, Oh me,    oh my,
I hope the little lady comes by.
I don’t know if she’ll get away, she doesn’t always get away,
But anyhow I know that she’ll try. Oh me,    oh my,
I hope the little lady comes by.

There’s no other girl I would wait for, 
but this one I’d break any date for,
I won’t have to ask what she’s late for,
she wouldn’t leave me flat,
She’s not a girl like that.

Oh, she’s absolutely wonderful, and marvellous and beautiful.
And anyone can understand why,
I’m leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady passes by.

You’ll Never Walk Alone


When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk   alone

Any Dream Will Do


I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far, far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping, Any dream will do

I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was  breaking
And the world was waking, Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light, My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness, I was left alone

May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and  I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating  Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light, My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness, I was left alone
May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and  I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating  Any dream will do
Any dream will do                              Any dream will do
Give me my coloured coat, my amazing coloured coat
Give me my coloured coat, my ama-zing, co-loured coat!

Let’s Go Fly A Kite


Let’s go fly a kite up to the highest height,
Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring!
Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear,
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

With tuppence for paper and strings,
You can have your own set of wings.
With your feet on the ground you’re a bird in flight,
With your fist holding tight    to the string of your kite.
    Oh, oh, oh!

Let’s go fly a kite up to the highest height,
Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring!
Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear,
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

When you send it flyin’ up there,
All at once you’re lighter than air.
You can dance on the breeze over ‘ouses and trees,
With your fist ‘olding tight   to the string of your kite.
Londoners:    Oh, oh, oh!

Let’s go fly a kite up to the highest height,
Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring!
Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear,
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

Yellow Submarine


In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun
Til we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine

New York, New York


Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it, New York, New York

I wanna wake up, in a city that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues are melting away
I’ll make a brand-new start of it, in old New York
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you, New York, New York

These little town blues are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it, in old New York
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you, New York, New York

Singin’ In The Rain


Doo dee doo doo, doodle
Doo dee doo doo, doodle
Doo dee doo doo, doodle
Doo dee doo doo

I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I’m happy again
I’m laughing at clouds, so dark up above
The sun’s in my heart, and I’m ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I’ve a smile on my face
I walk down the lane, with a happy refrain
Just singing, singing in the rain

Dancing in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-dee dee-dee dee, dee
I’m happy again
Dee-dee dee-dee dee-dee
Dee-dee dee-dee dee
I’m singing, and dancing in the rain

I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I’m happy again
I’m laughing at clouds, so dark up above
The sun’s in my heart, and I’m ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I’ve a smile on my face
I walk down the lane, with a happy refrain
Just singing, singing in the rain

Hello Dolly


I said hello, dolly, well, hello, Dolly
It’s so nice to have you back where you belong
You’re lookin’ swell, Dolly, I can tell, Dolly
You’re still glowin’, you’re still crowin’
You’re still goin’ strong
I feel that room swayin’ while the band’s playin’
One of our old favourite songs, from way back when
So, take her wrap, fellas, find her an empty lap, fellas
Dolly’ll never go away again

I said hello, dolly, well, hello, Dolly
It’s so nice to have you back where you belong
You’re lookin’ swell, Dolly, I can tell, Dolly
You’re still glowin’, you’re still crowin’
You’re still goin’ strong
I feel that room swayin’, while the band’s playin’
One of our old favourite songs, from way back when
So, golly, gee, fellas, find her an empty knee, fellas
Dolly’ll never go away, I said she’ll never go away
Dolly’ll never go away, again

Don’t Cry For Me Argentina


It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange 
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I’ve done.
You won’t believe me,   all you will see is a girl you once knew,
Although she’s dressed up to the nines,   at sixes and sevens with you.

I had to let it happen, I had to change,
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel,
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun.
So, I chose freedom, running around trying everything new,
But nothing impressed me at all,   I never expected it to.

Don’t cry for me, Argenti – na, the truth is   I never left you,
All through my wild days, my mad existence,
I kept my promise, don’t keep your distance.

And as for fortune, and as for fame, I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired.
They are illusions, they’re not the solutions they promised to be,
The answer was here all the time,   I love you and hope you love me.

Don’t cry for me, Argenti – na, the truth is   I never left you,
All through my wild days, my mad existence,
I kept my promise, don’t keep your distance.
 
Have I said too much?
There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you,
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true.

You’re The One That I Want


I got chills, They’re multiplying
And I’m losing control
‘Cause the power you’re supplying, It’s electrifying!

You better shape up
‘Cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true, nothing left, nothing left for me to do

You’re the one that I want, (you are the one I want) Oooooo, honey
The one that I want, (you are the one I want) Oooooo, honey
The one that I want, (you are the one I want) Oooooo, 
The one I need, Oh, yes, indeed

If you’re filled, with affection
You’re too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction, Feel your way
I better shape up
‘Cause you need a man (I need a man)
Who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up
And if I’m gonna prove (you’re gonna prove)
That my faith is justified, Are you sure? Yes I’m sure down deep inside

You’re the one that I want, (you are the one I want) Oooooo, honey
The one that I want, (you are the one I want) Oooooo, honey
The one that I want, (you are the one I want) Oooooo, 
The one I need, Oh, yes, indeed

You’re the one that I want, (you are the one I want) Oooooo, honey
The one that I want, (you are the one I want) Oooooo, honey
The one that I want, (you are the one I want) Oooooo, 
The one I need, Oh, yes, indeed

You’re the one that I want!

Bare Necessities


Look for the bare necessities, The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities, Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam, I couldn’t be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin’ in the tree To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants, Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you, they’ll come to you

Look for the bare necessities, The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities, Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw, Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw, Well, next time beware
Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear, Try to use the claw
But you don’t need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw, Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you, They’ll come to you

Look for the bare necessities, The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities, Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That bring the bare necessities  of life

So just try and  relax, yeah,  Fall apart in my backyard
If you act like that bee acts, uhuh, You’re working too hard
And don’t spend your time lookin’ around
For something you want that can’t be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin’ about  it, I’ll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you

Jailhouse Rock



The warden threw a party in the county jail
Prison band was there and they began to wail
Band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swing
Should’ve heard those knocked out jail birds sing

Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin’ on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang

Number forty-seven said to number three
You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me

The sad sack was a sittin’ on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin’ all alone
The warden said, hey, buddy, don’t you be no square
If you can’t find a partner use a wooden chair

Shifty Henry said to bugs, for heaven’s sake
No one’s lookin’, now’s our chance to make a break
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, nix nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks

Summer Nights

Summer lovin’ had me a blast, Summer lovin’, happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me, Met a boy, cute as can be 
Summer days driftin’ away, to uh-oh those summer nights
 [oh-wella-wella-wella-uh] 
Tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far? 
Tell me more, tell me more, like, does he have a car? 
 (Ah ha, du-du, ah-ha, du-du, ah ha, du-du, ah ha x2) 

She swam by me, she got a cramp, He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned, He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something’s begun, but oh those summer nights
[oh-wella-wella-wella-uh] 
Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight? 
Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight? 
 [Dum-do-be-do, do-be-do, do-be-do-be-do-be x2] 

Took her bowlin’ in the Arcade, We went strollin’, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock, We stayed up `til ten o’clock
Summer fling don’t mean a thing, but uh-oh those summer nights [woah-woah-woah]
Tell me more, tell me more, but you don’t gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more, cause he sounds like a drag

[shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop, 
shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop, yeah] 

He got friendly, holdin’ my hand, Well she got friendly, down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen, Well she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but uh-oh those summer nights 
 [woah-woah-woah] 
Tell me more, tell me more, how much dough did he spend? 
Tell me more, tell me more, could she get me a friend?

It turned colder, that’s where it ends, So I told her, we’d still be friends
Then we made our true love vow, Wonder what she’s doin’ now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh, those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me mo–re. 

VE Day 2026

There’ll Always Be An England


I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen 

May this fair land we love so well
In dignity and freedom dwell
Though worlds may change and go awry
While there is still one voice to cry

There’ll always be an England, While there’s a country lane 
Wherever there’s a cottage small, Beside a field of grain

There’ll always be an England, While there’s a busy street 
Wherever there’s a turning wheel, A million marching feet

Red, white and blue, What does it mean to you? 
Surely you’re proud, shout it aloud, Britons, awake

The empire too, we can depend on you, freedom remains 
These are the chains, nothing can break

There’ll always be an England, While there’s a busy street 
Wherever there’s a turning wheel, A million marching feet

Red, white and blue, What does it mean to you? 
Surely you’re proud, shout it aloud, Britons, awake

The empire too, we can depend on you, freedom remains 
These are the chains, nothing can break

There’ll always be an England,  And England shall be free 
If England means as much to you, As England means to me

Lili Marlene


Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate
Darling I remember the way you used to wait 
‘Twas there that you whispered tenderly 
That you loved me, you’d always be 
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene

Time would come for roll call, time for us to part 
Darling I’d caress you and press you to my heart 
And there ‘neath that far off lantern light
I’d hold you tight, we’d kiss good night
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene

Orders came for sailing somewhere over there
All confined to barracks t’was more than I could bear 
I knew you were waiting in the street
I heard your feet but could not meet 
My Lili of the lamplight 
My own Lili Marlene

Resting in our billet just behind the line
Even though we’re parted your lips are close to mine 
You wait where that lantern softly gleamed
Your sweet face seems to haunt my dreams 
My Lili of the lamplight 
My own Lili Marlene
My Lili of the lamplight 
My own Lili Marlene.

Land Of Hope And Glory


Land of hope and glory, 
Mother of the free
How shall we extol thee
Who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider
Shall thy bounds be set
God, who made thee mighty
Make thee mightier yet
God, who made thee mighty
Make thee mightier yet

Bless ‘Em All / Roll Out The Barrel / Washing


Bless ‘em all, bless ‘em all
The long and the short and the tall
Bless all the sergeants and W.O. ones
Bless all the corporals and their blinkin’ sons
‘Cause we’re saying goodbye to them all
As back to the billets they crawl
You’ll get no promotion this side of the ocean
So cheer up my lads, bless ‘em all

Roll out the barrel, we’ll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel, we’ve got the blues on the run
Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer
Now’s the time to roll the barrel, for the gang’s all here

We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear
We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line
‘Cause washing day is here
Whether the weather may be wet or fine
We’ll rub along without a care
We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line
If the Siegfried Line’s still there!

Jerusalem


And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of de-sire!
Bring me my spear! o Clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
‘Til we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land!

I’ll Get By


I’ll get by as long as I have you
Though there be rain and darkness, tooI’ll not complain, I’ll see it through

Poverty may come to me it’s true
But what care I, say, I’ll get by
As long as I have you

Poverty may come to me it’s true
But what care I, say, I’ll get by
As long as I have you

Don’t Fence Me In


Oh give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don’t fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don’t fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don’t fence me in

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my cayoose, let me wander over yonder
‘Til I see the mountain rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
I can’t look at hobbles and I can’t stand fences
Don’t fence me in

Lambeth Walk


Anytime you’re Lambeth way, any evening, any day
You’ll find us all doin’ the Lambeth Walk – OI!
Every little Lambeth gal with her little Lambeth pal
You’ll find ‘em all doin’ the Lambeth Walk – OI!

Everything’s free and easy, do as you darn well pleasey
Why don’t you make your way there, go there, stay there

Once you get down Lambeth way, every evening, every day
You’ll find us all doing the Lambeth Walk – OI!
Every little Lambeth gal with her little Lambeth pal
You’ll find ‘em all 
Doin’ the Lambeth
Doin’ the Lambeth
Doin’ the Lambeth Walk – OI!

And anyone can understand why
I’m leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady passes by

I’ll Be Seeing You


Cathedral bells were tolling, and our hearts sang on
Was it the spell of Paris or the April dawn
Who knows if we shall meet again
But when the morning chimes ring sweet again
I’ll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In the small cafe, the park across the way
The children’s carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well
I’ll be seeing you in every lovely summer’s day
In everything that’s bright and gay
I’ll always think of you that way
I’ll find you in the morning sun and when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon, but I’ll be seeing you.
I’ll be seeing you in every lovely summer’s day
In everything that’s bright and gay
I’ll always think of you that way
I’ll find you in the morning sun and when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon, but I’ll be seeing you.

When Johnny Comes Marching Home


When Johnny comes marching home again, Hurrah! Hurrah! 
We’ll give him a hearty welcome then, Hurrah! Hurrah!

And we’ll all drink stone wine when Johnny comes marching home. 

In eighteen hundred and sixty-three, Hurrah! Hurrah! 
Old Abe, he ended slavery, Hurrah! Hurrah! 
In eighteen hundred and sixty-three 
Old Abe, he ended slavery
And we’ll all drink stone wine when Johnny comes marching home. 
And we’ll all drink stone wine when Johnny comes marching home. 

In eighteen hundred and sixty-four, Hurrah! Hurrah! 
Abe called for five hundred thousand more, Hurrah! Hurrah! 
In eighteen hundred and sixty-five, 
They talked rebellion–strife; 
And we’ll all drink stone wine when Johnny comes marching home. 
And we’ll all drink stone wine when Johnny comes marching home.

I Vow To Thee


I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, 
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love. 
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, 
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best. 
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, 
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. 

And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago, 
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know. 
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King, 
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering. 
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, 
And her ways are ways of gentleness
And all her paths are peace.

Let Me Call You Sweetheart/If You Were The Only Girl In The World


Let me call you “Sweetheart,” I’m in love with you.
Let me hear you whisper that you love me   too.
Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true.
Let me call you “Sweetheart,”   I’m in love with you. 

If you were the only girl in the world
and I were the only boy
Nothing else would matter in the world today
We could go on loving in the same old way

A garden of Eden just made for two
With nothing to mar our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such wonderful things to do
If you were the only girl in the world
and I were the only boy

Accentuate The Positive


You’ve got to ac-cen-tuate the positive
Elim-I-nate the negative
Latch onto the af-firmative, don’t mess with Mr. In Be-tween
You’ve got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene

To illus-trate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark,

Man they said, we better
Ac-centuate the positive, elim-I-nate the negative an’
Latch onto the af-firmative, don’t mess with Mr. In Be-tween,
No, don’t mess with Mr. In Be-tween

To illus-trate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark

Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree


I wrote my mother, I wrote my father
And now I’m writing you too
I’m sure of mother, I’m sure of father
Now I wanna be sure of you

Don’t sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me, No! No! No!
Just remember that I’ve been true to nobody else but you
So just be true to me
Don’t go walking down lovers’ lane with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me, No! No! No!
Don’t start showing off all your charms in somebody else’s arms
You must be true to me
I’m so afraid that the plans we made
Underneath those moonlit skies
Will fade away and you’re bound to stray
If the stars get in your eyes
So, don’t sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
You’re my L-O-V-E

Daisy Bell


Daisy Daisy give me your answer do
I’m half crazy all for the love of you
It won’t be a stylish marriage
I can’t afford a carriage
But you’ll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two

White Cliffs Of Dover


There’ll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow just you wait and see
There’ll be love and laughter and peace ever after
Tomorrow when the world is free

The shepherd will tend his sheep, the valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep, in his own little room again
There’ll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow just you wait and see
There’ll be love and laughter and peace ever after
Tomorrow when the world is free


We’ll Meet Again


We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when
  
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through, just like you always do
’Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away

And won’t you please say hello to the folks that I know
Tell them, I won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know that, as you saw me go, 
I was singing this song

We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day

God Save The King


God save our gracious King
Long live our noble King
God save the King
Send him victorious 
Happy and glorious 
Long too reign over us 
God save the King

Thy choicest gifts in store 
On him be pleased to pour 
Long may he reign 
May he defend our laws 
And ever give us cause 
To sing with heart and voice 
God save the King

Catch A Falling Star


Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder, some starless night
And just in case you feel you want to hold her
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day

For when your troubles start multiplyin’, and they just might
It’s easy to forget them without tryin’
With just a pocketful of starlight

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day, Save it for a rainy day, Save it for a rainy day


Oh What A Beautiful Mornin’

There’s a bright, golden haze on the meadow,
There’s a bright, golden haze on the meadow.
The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye
And it looks like it’s climbing clear up to the sky

Oh, what a beautiful mor-nin’, oh, what a beautiful day,
I’ve got a beautiful feelin’, everything’s goin’ my way.

All the cattle are standin’ like statues,
All the cattle are standin’ like statues.
They don’t turn their heads as they see me ride by
But a little brown mav’rick is winkin’ her eye.

Oh, what a beautiful mor-nin’, oh, what a beautiful day,
I’ve got a beautiful feelin’, everything’s goin’ my way.

All the sounds of the earth are like music,
Oh, the sounds of the earth are like music.
The breeze is so busy, it don’t miss a tree
An’ a ol’ weepin’ willer is laughin’ at me.

Oh, what a beautiful mor-nin’, oh, what a beautiful day,
I’ve got a beautiful feelin’, everything’s goin’ my way.
Oh, what a beautiful day

What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you,
And I think to myself, What a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people goin’ by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, “I love you.”

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful  world
Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world


Imagine

Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try
No hell below us, Above us only sky

Imagine all the people, Living for today…  Ahaah…

Imagine there’s no countries, It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion, too

Imagine all the people, Living life in peace…  You…

You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us, And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world… You…

You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us, And the world will be as one


I Can See Clearly Now

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone all the dark clouds that had me blind

It’s gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day
It’s gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day

I think I can make it now the pain is gone,
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is the rainbow I have been praying for.

It’s gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day
It’s gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day

Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there’s nothing but blue skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiies

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day
It’s gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day
It’s gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day


I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing

I’d like to build the world a home And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow-white turtle doves
I’d like to teach the world to sing, In perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my arms And keep it company
I’d like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills For peace throughout the land


That’s the song I hear (I’d like to teach the world to sing) 
Let the world sing today (In perfect harmony) 
I’d like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony
Laa la la laah, Do-do dooh do-do dooh
Ahh ha ha haah ahaa ha ha, La la laah

I’d like to build the world a home And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow-white turtle doves
I’d like to teach the world to sing, In perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my arms And keep it company
I’d like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills For peace throughout the land  


Don’t Stop Believin’

Just a small town girl, Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere
Just a city boy, Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin’ anywhere

A singer in a smoky room, A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night, It goes on and on, and on, and on

Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, people, Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill, Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose, Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends, It goes on and on, and on, and ooooon

Strangers waiting, Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, people, Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Don’t stop believin’, Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlights, people, oh-oh-ah
Don’t stop believin’, Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlights, people, oh-oh-ah
Don’t stop believin’, Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlights, people, oh-oh-ah


Walking On Sunshine

I used to think maybe you love me, now baby I’m sure
And I just can’t wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now every time I go for the mailbox gotta hold myself down
Cuz I just can’t wait till you write me you’re comin’ around

And I’m walking on sunshine… Whoah!
I’m walking on sunshine… Whoah!
I’m walking on sunshine… Whoah!
And don’t it feel good! HEY! Alright now!
And don’t it feel good! HEY! Yeah!

I used to think maybe you love me, now I know that it’s true
And I don’t want to spend my whole life, just a waitin’ for you
Now I don’t want you back for the weekend, not back for a day, no no no
I said baby I just want you back, and I want you to stay, (Oh yeah now!) 

And I’m walking on sunshine… Whoah!

And don’t it feel good! HEY! Yeah!


Happy

It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care, baby, by the way

Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Here come bad news talking this and that
Well, give me all you got, and don’t hold it back
Well, I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine
No offense to you, don’t waste your time Here’s why

Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Bring me down, Can’t nothing
Bring me down, My level’s too high
Bring me down, Can’t nothing
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)
Bring me down, Can’t nothing
Bring me down, My level’s too high
Bring me down, Can’t nothing Bring me down I said

Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy, Clap along if  you feel like that’s what you wanna do


All Things Bright And Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful 
The Lord God made them all

Each little flow’r that opens 
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colours 
He made their tiny wings

The purple headed mountains
The river running by
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky

The cold wind in the winter
The pleasant summer sun
The ripe fruits in the garden
He made them every one

He gave us eyes to see them
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty
Who has made all things well


Everlasting Love

Hearts gone astray, deep in hurt when they go
I went away, just when you, you need me so
You won’t regret, I come back beggin’ you
Won’t you forget, welcome love we once knew

Open up your eyes then you realise
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side, girl to be my bride
You’ll never be denied, everlasting love
From the very start, open up your heart
Feel that you’re part of everlasting love

Where life really flows, no one really knows
‘Til someone’s there to show the way to lasting love
Like the sun it shines, endlessly it shines
You always will be mine, if eternal love
Whenever love went wrong, ours would still be strong
We’d have our very own everlasting love

Open up your eyes then you realise
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side, girl to be my bride
You’ll never be denied, everlasting love
From the very start, open up your heart
Feel that you’re part of everlasting love


There’s a Kind Of Hush

There’s a kind of hushshsh, all over the world, tonight

You know what I mean
Just the two of us, and nobody else, in sight
There’s nobody else and I’m feeling good, just holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean, it isn’t a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear, I love you
Forever and ever

There’s a kind of hushshsh  all over the world  tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love 

La, la, la …

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean, it isn’t a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear, I love you
Forever and ever

All over the world you can hear the sounds, of lovers in love 
Yeah, they’re fallin’ in love

Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer.

Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies.
Then lock the house up, now you’re set.
And on the beach you’ll see the girls in their bi..kin..is,
As cute as ever but they never get ’em wet.

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer.

Don’t have to tell a girl and fella about a drive-in.
Or some roman..tic moon, it seems.
Right from the moment that those lovers start arriving,
You’ll see more kissing in the cars than on the screen.

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer.
You’ll wish that summer could always be here.
You’ll wish that summer could always be here.


Lifted

I really love to be alone without all the
Ache and pain and the – April showers
It ain’t long before I long for you
Like a – ray of hope comin’ – through the blues
When it all get darker there,
The whole thing falls apart I guess
It doesn’t really matter about the rain,
Cause we’ll get through it any way
We’ll get up and start again

Cause we could be lifted, lifted, lifted
We could be lifted, from the shadows, lifted
Oh we could be – lifted up today, lifted all the way
You and I forever baby
Lifted, lifted, lifted

It’s undisturbable the peace without in a
Bright blue space, up a – bove the clouds
Everything is understandable
You don’t – have to say anything too loud
When our love runs out again
Drop back down to solid ground
I wouldn’t say I was mad about the rain
But we’ll get through it any way
We’ll get back to the start again

Cause we could be lifted, lifted, lifted
We could be lifted, from the shadows, lifted
Oh we could be – lifted up today, lifted all the way
You and I forever baby
Lifted, lifted, lifted


Top Of The World

Such a feelin’s comin’ over me
There is wonder in ‘most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I, won’t be surprised if it’s a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin’ true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it’s because you are here
You’re the nearest thing to heaven that I’ve seen

I’m on the, top of the world lookin’,  down on creation
And the only explanation I can  find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world

Somethin’ in the wind has learned my name
And it’s tellin’ me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There’s a pleasin’ sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my  mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

I’m on the  top of the world lookin’  down on creation
And the only explanation I can  find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world


Thank You For The Music

I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud, all I want is to sing it out loud

So I say thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be, without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

So I say thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be, without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me

I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I say thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be, without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me
