GOD BLESS AMERICA
God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home:
God bless America, my home sweet home.
 
IT'S A GRAND OLD FLAG
It's a grand old flag
It's a high flying flag
And forever in peace may it wave.
It's the emblem of the land I love
The home of the free and the brave.
Every heart beats true
For the Red, White and Blue.
Where there's never a boast nor brag
But should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eyes on that grand old flag.
 
I'M A YANKEE DOODLE DANDY
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July.
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my, Yankee doodle joy.
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies,
I am a Yankee Doodle boy.
I WANT A GIRL
I want a girl, just like the girl
That married dear old Dad.
She was a pearl and the only girl
That Daddy ever had.
A good old-fashioned girl
With heart so true.
One who loves nobody else but you,
I want a girl just like the girl
That married dear old Dad.
 
LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART
Let me call you sweetheart,
I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper that you love me, too.
Keep the lovelight glowing in your eyes so blue
Let me call you sweetheart, I'm in love with you.
 
SIDE BY SIDE
Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along, singing a song, side by side.
Don't know what's coming tomorrow
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road, sharing our load, side by side.
Through all kinds of weather, what if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together, it doesn't matter at all.
When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just traveling along, singing a song
Side by Side.
 
MOONLIGHT BAY
We were sailing along, On Moonlight Bay
You could hear the voices ringing.
They seemed to say
You have stolen my heart,
Now don't go 'way
As we sang love's old sweet song
On Moonlight Bay.
 
TELL ME WHY
Tell me why the stars do shine,
Tell me why the ivy twines
Tell me why the ocean's blue,
And I will tell you that's why I love you.
Because God made the stars to shine,
Because God made the ivy twine,
Because God made the ocean blue,
Because God made you, that's why I love you.
 
FOR ME AND MY GAL
The bells are ringing for me and my gal
The birds are singing for me and my gal
Everybody's been knowing
To a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewing
Every Susie and Sal.
They're congregating for me and my gal
The parson's waiting for me and my gal
And someday we're going to build a little home for two
Or three or four or more
In Loveland, for me and my gal.
SILVER THREADS AMONG THE GOLD
Darling, I am growing old,
Silver threads among the gold –
Shine upon my brow today,
Life is fading fast away
But, my darling, you will be, will be –
Always young and fair to me,
Yes, my darling, you will be –
Always young and fair to me.
 
YOU TELL ME YOUR DREAM
You had a dream, Well, I had one too,
I know mine's best 'cause it was of you.
Come, sweetheart, tell me, Now is the time.
You tell me your dream,
I'll tell you mine.
 
LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY
With someone like you
A pal so good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind
And go and find
Some place that's known
To God alone
Just a spot to call our own
We'll find perfect peace
Where joys will never cease
Out there beneath a kindly sky
We'll build a sweet little nest
Somewhere in the West
And let the rest of the world go by.
 
MARY, IT'S A GRAND OLD NAME
For it was Mary, Mary, plain as any name can be
But in society, propriety will say Marie
But it was Mary. Mary, long before the fashions came
For there is something there that sounds so square
It's a grand old name.
 
WAIT TILL THE SUN SHINES NELLIE
Wait till the sun shines, Nellie,
And the grey skies turn to blue,
You know I love you, Nellie, deed I do!
We'll face the years together, sweetheart you and I,
So won't you wait till the sun shines, Nellie, bye and bye.
 
MY GAL SAL
They called her frivolous Sal,
Peculiar sort of a gal
With a heart that was mellow,
An all 'round good fellow
Was my old pal.
Your troubles, sorrows and cares
She was always willing to share
A wild sort of devil
But dead on the level
Was my gal, Sal.
MY WILD IRISH ROSE
My Wild Irish Rose, the sweetest flow'r that grows,
You may search ev'rywhere, but none can compare,
To My Wild Irish Rose.
My Wild Irish Rose, the dearest flow'r that grows,
And some day for my sake, she may let me take –
The bloom from my Wild Irish Rose.
 
DAISY BELL
Daisy, Daisy, give 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.
 
MY BONNIE
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back,
bring back my Bonnie to me,
to me! Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me!
 
AIN’T SHE SWEET
Ain't she sweet? See her walkin' down the street
Now I ask you very confidentially, ain't she sweet?
Ain't she nice? Look her over once or twice,
Now I ask you very confidentially, ain't she nice?
Just cast an eye in her direction
Oh me, oh my, ain't that perfection:
I repeat, don't you think she's kinda neat?
Now I ask you very confidentially, ain't she sweet?
 
HELLO! MY BABY
Hello! my baby, hello! my honey,
Hello! ma ragtime gal.
Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire!
If you refuse me, honey, you'll lose me,
Then you'll be left alone,
Oh! baby, telephone and tell me I'se your own.
(Hello! hello! Hello there!)
 
WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure it's like a morn in spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, they steal your heart away.
SMILES
There are smiles that make us happy
There are smiles that make us blue
There are smiles that steal away the teardrops
As the sunbeams steal away the dew
There are smiles that have a tender meaning
That the eyes of love alone can see
And the smiles that fill my life with sunshine
Are the smiles that you gave to me.
 
WHEN YOU'RE SMILING
When you're smiling, when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you.
When you're laughing, when you're laughing
Then sun comes shining thru.
But when you're crying, you bring on the rain
So stop your sighing, be' happy again.
Keep on smiling 'cause when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you.
 
SHINE ON HARVEST MOON
Shine on, shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky.
I ain't had no lovin'
Since January, February June or July.
Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon
For me and my gal.
 
IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME
In the good old summer time,
In the good old summer time,
Strolling through the shady lanes,
With your ''baby mine''.
You hold her hand and she holds yours.
And that's a very good sign -
That she's your toosey wootsey
In the good old summer time.
 
I'M LOOKING OVER A FOUR LEAF CLOVER
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain.
Third is the roses that grow in the lane
No need explaining, the one remaining
Is somebody I adore
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
 
FIVE FOOT TWO, EYES OF BLUE
Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh what those five foot could do.
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose
Flapper, yes sir, one of those.
Has anybody seen my girl.
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered with fur,
Diamond rings and all those things
You can bet your life
It isn't her.
But could she love. could she woo
Could she, could she, could she coo
Has anybody seen my girl.
SILENT NIGHT
Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child!
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.
 
THE BAND PLAYED ON
Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde,
And the band played on.
He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored,
And the band played on.
But his brain was so loaded, it nearly exploded,
The poor girl would shake with alarm.
He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curl,
And the band played on!
 
IN THE SHADE OF THE OLD APPLE TREE
In the shade of the old apple tree,
Where the love in your eyes I could see,
When the voice that I heard, like the song of the bird,
Seem'd to whisper sweet music to me;
I could hear the dull buzz of the bee,
In the blossoms as you said to me,
With a heart that is true, I'll be waiting for you,
In the shade of the old apple tree.
 
RED RIVER VALLEY
From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,
For they say you are taking the sunshine,
That brightens our pathway awhile.
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
Do not hasten to bid me adieu;
But remember the Red River Valley
And the one who has loved you so true.
 
BYE BYE BLACKBIRD
Pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go singing low, Bye Bye blackbird,
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she, Bye Bye blackbird.
No one here can love or understand me,
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me;
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll arrive late tonight, Blackbird, bye bye.
 
THAT OLD GANG OF MINE
Gee, but I'd give the world to see
That old gang of mine.
I can't forget that old quartette
That sang '`Sweet Adeline".
Goodbye forever, old fellows and gals
Goodbye forever, old sweethearts and pal
Gee, but I'd give the world to see
That old gang of mine.
 
GOOD NIGHT LADIES
Good night, Ladies, Good night, Ladies,
Good night, Ladies, we’re going to
Leave you now.
Chorus: Merrily we roll along, roll along
Roll along, Merrily we roll along
Over the dark blue sea.
Farewell Ladies, Farewell, Ladies,
Farewell, Ladies, We're going to
Leave you now. (CHORUS)
Sweet dreams, Ladies, etc. (CHORUS)
HEART OF MY HEART
Heart of my heart, how I love that melody
Heart of my heart, brings back old memories.
When we were kids on the corner of the square
We were rough and ready guys
But, oh, how we could harmonize, to
Heart of my heart, oh, friends were dearer then.
Too bad we had to part.
I know a tear would glisten
If only I could listen...To the gang that sang,
Heart of my heart.
 
THERE'S A LONG, LONG TRAIL
There's a long, long trail a winding
Into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingales are singing
And a white moon-beams.
There's a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true;
Till the day when I'll be going
Down that long, long trail with you
 
DECK THE HALL
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our `gay apparel,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Toll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
 
SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME
Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed,
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it's gone right to my head.
Wherever I may roam, On land or sea or foam,
You can always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.
 
WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin.
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year.
 
BEER BARREL POLKA
Roll out the barrel
We'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel
We've got the blues on
the Zing Boom Tarrarrel
Ring out a song of good cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel
For the gang's all here.

ANYTIME
Anytime you're feeling lonely
Anytime you're feeling blue
Anytime you feel downhearted
That will prove your love for me is true
Anytime you're thinking of me
That's the time I'll be thinking of you
So anytime you say, you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back Home to you.
 
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN
Cause happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again.
 
MICHAEL (Row the Boat Ashore)
Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah.
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah,
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah.
Jordan river is chilly and cold, hallelujah,
Kills the body but not the soul, hallelujah,
Jordan river is deep and wide, hallelujah,
Milk and honey on the other side, hallelujah.
 
JUST BECAUSE
Just because you think you're so pretty,
Just because you think you're so hot,
Just because you think you've got somethin
That nobody else has got
You try and make me spend all my money
You laugh and call me of Santa Claus
Well I'm telling you
Honey I'm through with you
Just because, just because.
 
AULD LANG SYNE
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne; my dear
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
 
HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD
IN HIS HANDS

He's got the whole world in
His Hands (sing the line 4 times)
He's got the tiny little baby in
His Hands (sing the line 3 times)
He's got the whole world in His Hands.
He's got you and me, neighbor, in
His Hands (sing the line 3 times)
He's got the whole world in His Hands.
 
SHANTY TOWN
It's only a shanty in old Shanty Town
The roof is so slanty it touches the ground
Just a tumbled-down shack
By an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion
It's calling me back.
I'd give up a palace, if I were a king
It's more than a palace, it's my everything.
There's a queen waiting there
With a silvery crown
In a shanty in old Shanty Town.
 
PUT ON YOUR OLD GREY BONNET
Put on your old grey bonnet
With the blue ribbons on it
While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay
Through the fields of clover
We'll drive up to Dover
On our golden wedding day
DARKTOWN STUTTERS BALL
I'll be down to get you in a taxi, honey.
Better be ready by half past eight.
Now, honey, don't be late.
I want to be there when the band starts playin'.
Remember when we get there, honey,
Two steps, I'm going to have them all.
I'm going to dance off both your shoes
When they play those "Jellyroll Blues,
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutters Ball.
 
THE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK
East side, west side, all around the town
The tots, sing ring-around Rosie,
London Bridge is falling down¬
Boys and girls together,
me and Mamie O'Rourke
Tripped the light fantastic
on the sidewalks of New York.
 
JINGLE BELLS
Dashing thru the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh!
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way',
Bells on bobtail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!
Chorus
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh!
 
IT'S A SIN TO TELL A LIE
Be sure it's true when you say
I love you It's a sin to tell a lie.
Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because those words were spoken.
I love you, yes I do, I love you.
If you break my heart, I'll die.
So, be sure it's true, when you say I love you.
It's a sin to tell a lie.
 
BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
Coming of the Lord.
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of his terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
Chorus:
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
I have seen Him in the watchfires of
A hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in
The evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on. (Chorus)
 
TILL WE MEET AGAIN
Smile awhile and kiss me sad adieu
When the clouds roll by, I'll come to you.
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in lover's lane, my dearie
Wedding bells will sing so merrily
Every tear will be a memory
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again.
 
MISTER SANDMAN
Mister Sandman bring me a dream
Make her complexion like peaches and cream,
Give her two lips like roses in clover
Then tell her that her lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman bring me a dream.
Mister Sandman bring me a dream
Make him the cutest; that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
 
GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY
Give my regards to Broadway.
Remember me to Herald Square.
Tell all the gang at Forty-Second Street
That I will soon be there.
Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng.
Give my regards to old Broadway
And say that I'll be there e'er long.
 
THERE'LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE
For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea,
So from now on there'll be a change
In me, My walk will be different,
My talk and my name, Nothing about
me's gonna be the same
I'm gonna change my way of living,
If that ain't enough
Then I'll change the way I strut my
Stuff, Cause nobody wants you when
You're old and gray,
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made.
