Cry Of The Wild Goose

Cry Of The Wild Goose
Frankie Laine

My heart knows what the wild goose knows,
I must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Tonight I heard the wild goose cry,
Wingin' north in the lonely sky.
Tried to sleep, it weren't no use,
'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose,

(Oh, my heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
(Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?)
(A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?)

Woman was kind and true to me.
She thinks she loves me, the more fool she.
She's got a love that ain't no use,
To love a brother of the old wild goose.

(My heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
(Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?)
(A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?)
(Oh, you wild goose.)

The cabin is warm and the snow is deep,
I got a woman who lies asleep.
She'll wake at tomorrow's dawn,
She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone.
(Oh, you wild goose.)

My heart knows what the wild goose knows,
I must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?
Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly away.

Spring is comin' and the ice will break,
I can't linger for a woman's sake.
She'll see a shadow pass overhead.
She'll find my feathers beside my bed.

(My heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

(Wild goose, wild goose, wild goose, wild goose.)

Dear Hearts And Gentle People

Dear Hearts And Gentle People
Bing Crosby

i love those dear hearts and gentle people
who live in my home town
because those dear hearts and gentle people
will never ever let you down

they read the good book
from fri till monday
that's how the weekend goes
i've got a dream house
i'll build there one day
with picket fence and ramblin rows

i feel so welcome each time i return
that my happy heart keeps laughing like a clown
i love the dear hearts and gentle people
who live and love in my home town

there's a place i'd like to go
and it's back in idaho
where you're friendly neighbors smile and say hello
it's a pleasure and a treat
to meandor down the street
that's why i want the whole wide world to know
i love those dear hearts
i love the gentle people
(who live in my home town)
because those dear hearts and gentle people
will never ever let you down

they read the good book
from fri till monday
that's how the weekend goes
i've got a dream house
i'll build there one day
with picket fence and ramblin rows

i feel so welcome each time i return
that my happy heart keeps laughing like a clown
i love the dear hearts and gentle people
who live and love in my home town

(home home sweet home
home home sweet home)
home home sweet home
home home sweet home

My Foolish Heart

My Foolish Heart
Billy Eckstine

The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When your lost in the magic of a kiss
Her lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart

But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart

Can Anyone Explain?

Can Anyone Explain?
Ames Brothers

Can anyone explain
The thrill of a kiss
No, no, no
But when two eager lips
Are pressed against yours
You'll know, yes, you'll know

Can anyone explain
The glow of romance
No, no, no
But when you hear the phrase, it's you I adore
You'll know, yes, you'll know
And you will find to give love a start
Don't think with your mind
Just feel with your heart

Can anyone explain
The wonder of love
No, no, no
But now that you and I are sharing a sigh
We know, yes, we know

And you will find to give love a start
Don't think with your mind
Just feel with your heart
Can anyone explain
The wonder of love
No, no, no
But now that you and I are sharing a sigh
We know, yes, we know

My Foolish Heart

My Foolish Heart
Gordon Jenkins

The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fasination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When your lost in the magic of a kiss
Her lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart

But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fasination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart

All My Love

All My Love
Patti Page

All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true
All my sighs, will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last
My heart belongs to you

Ohhhhhhhhh ooh, never let me go
You thrill me so
I can see as I recall my life
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love

Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay

Bow, caballero, and tip your sombrero
To your señorita, the lovely Chiquita
Waiting so long for you and your song
While you are playing her heart will be swaying


She will surrender her kisses so tender
To you she will cling the moment that you sing

All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true
All my sighs will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last my heart belongs to you

Ohhhhhhhhh ooh, never let me go
You thrill me so
I can see as I recall my life
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love

Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay

I'll Never Be Free

I'll Never Be Free
Tennessee Ernie Ford & Kay Starr

Each time I hold somebody new
My arms go cold aching for you
No one can take your place
(Darlin' in my embrace)
I'll never be free

And when my lips burn with desire
No other kiss puts out the fire
Though I may try and try
(No one can satisfy)
This longing in me

(I'll never be free from your smile so tender)
(The sweet surrender in your eyes)
How can I be free when I still remember
How you could thrill me with a sigh

Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you
(Made me a slave to you)
I'll never be free

[Instrumental Interlude]

Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you
(Made me a slave to you)
And so I'll never be free

I Can Dream, Can't I

I Can Dream, Can't I
Andrews Sisters & Gordon Jenkins


(dream on, dream on)

I can see
No matter how near you'll be
You'll never belong to me
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace?
For dreams are just like wine
And I am drunk with mine

I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I adore you
Although we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream, can't I?

I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I adore you
Although we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream, can't I?

(dream on, dream on, dream on)

Tennessee Waltz

I was dancing with my darling
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

I Wanna Be Loved

I Wanna Be Loved
Andrews Sisters & Gordon Jenkins

I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight

I wanna be kissed until I tingle
I wanna be kissed starting tonight
Embrace until our heartbeats intermingle
Wrong or right

I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtle doving
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving

I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved

I feel like acting my age
I'm past the stage of merely turtle doving
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a loving

I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved

Sentimental Me

Sentimental Me
Ames Brothers

Sentimental me
Guess I'll always be
So in love with you
Don't know what to do
Sentimental me

Dreaming while I live
Living just to give
All my love to you
No one else will do
Sentimental me

Reaching for the moon
And wishing on a star
On my honeymoon
I want to be where you are

Darling, can't you see
It was meant to be
I'm in love with you
Say you love me to
Sentimental me

[Instrumental Interlude]

Reaching for the moon (reaching for the moon)
And wishing on a star (wishing on a star)
On my honeymoon (on my honeymoon)
I want to be where you are

Darling, can't you see
It was meant to be
I'm in love with you
Say you love me to
Sentimental me

The Thing

The Thing
Phil Harris

While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day
I saw a great big wooden box a-floatin' in the bay
I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise
Ooh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes
Oh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes

I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king
I took it to a guy I knew who'd buy most any thing
But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, before I call a cop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom before I call a cop

I turned around and got right out, a-runnin' for my life
And than I took it home with me to give it to my wife
But this is what she hollered at me as I walked in the door
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don't come back no more
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don't come back no more

I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet
A hobo who was looking for a hand-out on the street
He said he'd take most any old thing, he was a desperate man
But when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran
Oh, when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran

I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate
Until one day I came upon St. Peter at the gate
And when I tried to take it inside, he told me where to go
Get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below

The moral of this story is if you're out on the beach
And you should see a great big box and it's within your reach
Don't ever stop and open it up, that's my advice to you
'Cause you'll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do
Oh, you'll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do

(boom-boom-boom = 3 strikes on the drum)

There's No Tomorrow

There's No Tomorrow
Tony Martin

There's no tomorrow when love is new
Now is forever when love is true
So kiss me and hold me tight
There's no tomorrow
There's just tonight

Love is a flower that blooms so tender
Each kiss a dew drop of sweet surrender
Love is a moment of life enchanting
Let's take that moment
That tonight is granting

There's no tomorrow when love is new
Now is forever when love is true
So kiss me and hold me tight
There's no tomorrow
There's just tonight

Bonaparte's Retreat

Bonaparte's Retreat
Kay Starr

Met the man I love
In a town way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above
He was the sweetest man you ever did see
When he held me in his arms
And told me of my many charms
He kissed me while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright
When he held me on that night
And I heard him say
"Please don't ever go away"
When he held me in his arms
And told me of my many charms
He kissed me while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat

[Musical Interlude]

When he held me in his arms
And told me of my many charms
He kissed me while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright
When he held me on that night
And I heard him say
"Please don't you go away"

He's gone and I'll admit I knew
That I had met my Waterloo
I knew that he would say ado
With Bonaparte's Retreat

Good-bye little boy
Good-bye little joy
Good-bye little boy
So long little joy

If I Knew You Were Coming I'd've Baked A Cake

If I Knew You Were Coming I'd've Baked A Cake
Eileen Barton

[Sound of knocking on door]

[Spoken:]
Come in
Well, well, well, look who's here
I haven't seen you in many a year

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
baked a cake, baked a cake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
Grandest band in the land
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
And spread the welcome mat for you

Oh, I don't know where you came from
'cause I don't know where you've been
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Hired a band, goodness sake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do

[Instrumental Interlude]

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
baked a cake, baked a cake

Grandest band in the land

It Isn't Fair

It Isn't Fair
Sammy Kaye and Don Cornell

It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for a day

It isn't fair for you to thrill me
Why do you do the things you do
It isn't fair for you to fill me
With those dreams that can't come true, dear

Why is it that you came into my life
And made it complete
You gave me just a taste of high life
If this is love then I repeat

It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for today

My darling, it isn't fair

Harbor Lights

Harbor Lights
Sammy Kaye

I saw the harbor lights
They only told me we were parting
The same old harbor lights that once brought you to me
I watched the harbor lights
How could I help if tears were starting
Goodbye to tender nights beside the silv'ry sea

I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more
But I was on the ship and you were on the shore
Now I know lonely nights
For all the while my heart is whisp'ring
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me

[Instrumental Interlude]

I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more
But I was on the ship and you were on the shore
Now I know lonely nights
For all the while my heart is whisp'ring
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me

Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy

Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy
Red Foley

Have you ever passed the corner of Forth and Grand
Where a little ball o'rhythm has a shoe shine stand
People gather 'round and they clap their hands
He's a great big bundle o'joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy

He charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe
He makes the oldest kind o'leather look like new
You feel as though you wanna dance when he gets through
He's a great big bundle o' joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy

It's a wonder that the rag don't tear
The way he makes it pop
You ought to see him fan the air
With his hoppity-hippity-hippity
Hoppity-hoppity-hippity-hop

He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get up early when they're feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine
With the great big bundle o'joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy

[Instrumental Interlude]

It's a wonder that the rag don't tear
The way he makes it pop
Just listen to him fan the air
Here goes

He opens up for business when the clock strikes nine
He likes to get up early when they're feelin' fine
Everybody gets a little rise 'n shine
With the great big bundle o'joy
He pops the boogie woogie rag
The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy

The Chattanoogie shoe shine boy
