Bei Mir Bist Du Schön (Means You're Grand)
- words by Jacob Jacobs, Sammy Cahn and Saul Chaplin, music by
Sholom Secunda
- originally written in Yiddish by Jacob Jacobs (lyrics) and
Sholom Secunda (music)
for the Yiddish musical 'I Would If I Could' in 1933. English
lyrics written for
The Andrews Sisters by Sammy Cahn within a couple of days of the
Nov 24, 1937 recording
- 'Bei Mir Bist Du Schön' means 'To Me, You Are Beautiful'
Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say 'Bella, bella', even say 'Voonderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say you understand
Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before
but let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain
and yet I should explain
It means I am begging for your hand
I could say 'Bella, bella', even say 'Voonderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
------ instrumental break ------
I could say 'Bella, bella', even say 'Voonderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say that you will understand

Cuanto la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la
gusta
We gotta get goin', where are we goin', what are we gonna do？
We're on our way to somewhere, the three of us and you

surprise？
There may be caballeros with dark and flashing eyes
We're on our way (we're on our way)
Pack up your pack (pack up your pack)
And if we stay (and if we stay)
We won't come back (we won't come back)
How can we go, we haven't got a dime？
But we're goin' and we're gonna have a happy time
Cuanto la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la
gusta, la gusta
Cuanto la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la gusta, la

Now someone said they'd just come back from somewhere
A friend of mine that I don't even know
He said there's lots of fun if we can get there
If that's the case, that's the place, the place we want to go
We gotta get goin', where we're goin', what are we gonna do？
We're on our way to somewhere, the three of us and you
What'll we see there, who will be there, what'll be the big

There may be caballeros with dark and flashing eyes
I'll take the train (I'll take the train)
You take a boat (well I take the boat)
I'll take a plane (I'll take the plane)
You ride the goat (well I ride the goat)
Oh, we don't care, we'll either walk or climb
But we'll get there and we're gonna have a happy time

3.Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo)
Lyricist：Bob Hilliard, Carl Sigman
Each morning, a missionary advertises neon sign
He tells the native population that civilization is fine
And three educated savages holler from a bamboo tree
That civilization is a thing for me to see
So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no
no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to
go
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords,
I make it clear
That no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here
I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
(Magazine？ What happens？)
I see how people who are civilized bung you with automobile (You
know you can get hurt that way Dani
At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see (What do
they see, Darling？)
Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me
So bongo, bongo, bongo, he don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no
no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, he's so happy in the jungle, he refuse to
go
Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis, noise in my
ear
So, no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here
They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
And though it's smokey and it's crowded, they're too civilized
to complain
When they've got two weeks vacation, they hurry to vacation
ground (What do they do, Darling？)
They swim and they fish, but that's what I do all year round
So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no
no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to
go
Don't want no jailhouse, shotgun, fish-hooks, golf clubs, I got
my spears
So, no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here
They have things like the atom bomb, so I think I'll stay where
I am
Civilization, I'll stay right here
4.Ferry Boat Serenade
Lyricist：Harold Adamson, Eldo Di Lazzaro, Mario Panzeri
I have never been aboard a steamer
I am just content to be a dreamer
Even if I could afford a steamer
I will take the ferry boat every time
I love to ride the ferry
Where music is so merry
There's a man who plays the concertina
On the moonlit upper deck arena
While boys and girls are dancing
While sweethearts are romancing
Life is like a Mardi-Gras
Funiculi, funicula
Happy, we drink together
Happy, we sing together
Happy, with the ferry boat serenade
I am happy, very, very happy
When we're on the ferry
The music is so merry
There's a man who plays the concertina
On the moonlit upper deck arena, arena
I love to ride the ferry
Where music is so merry
There's a man who always plays the concertina, oh my
On the moonlit upper deck arena, by and by
While the boys and girls are dancing, oh dancing
While, while the sweethearts are romancing
Life is like a Mardi-Gras
Funiculi, funicula
Happy, we cling together
Happy, we sing together
Happy with the merry boat serenade
I love to ride the ferry
Sailing, sailing where, where the music is so merry
There's a man who just plays the concertina
On the moonlit upper deck arena
All the while the boys and girls are dancing
Look around and you see sweethearts romancing
Life is like a Mardi-Gras
Funiculi, funicula
Happy, we cling together
Happy, we sing together
Happy, with the ferry boat serenade
5.Hold Tight (want Some Seafood, Mama)
Hold Tight (Want Some Seafood, Mama)
The Andrews Sisters
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Foo-ra-de-ack-a-sa-ki
Want some sea food mama
Shrimpers and rice they're very nice
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Foo-ra-de-ack-a-sa-ki
Want some sea food mama
Steamers and sauce and then of course
I like oysters, lobsters too,

6.I Can Dream, Can't I？
Lyricist：Sammy Fain, Irving Kahal
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 dis-illusion there
But I can dream, can't I？
Can 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 dis-illusion 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 can dream, 'Can't I？
7.I Wanna Be Loved
Lyricist：John Green, Edward Heyman, Billy Rose
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
8.I'll Pray For You
I'LL PRAY FOR YOU
The Andrews Sisters
I'll pray for you at the end of the day
When we are far, far apart.
I'll pray for you and each prayer that I say
Darling, will come from my heart.
So let me see you smile before we say goodbye
For in a little while there'll be a bluer sky,
So kiss me again and remember that when you're far away
I'll pray for you

10.Near You
Lyricist：Francis Craig, Kermit Goell
There's just one place for me, near you
It's like Heaven to be, near you
Times when we're apart, I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray more than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent near you
I'd be more than content near you
Make my life worthwhile by telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days near you
There is just one place for me
I'm happy when I'm near you
It's wonderful as Heaven, a special kind of Heaven
But only when I'm near you
Times when we're apart I wonder how I can face my heart
Say you'll never stray more than just two lips away
If my waking hours could be spent while, near you
I would be content, wonderfully content just to be near you
Make my life worthwhile by telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days, all of those happy, happy days, so
near you

The Andrews Sisters
- written by Allie Wrubel
- as recorded May 26, 1947 by The Andrews Sisters
with Vic Schoen ＆ His Orchestra.
She left twenty-nine broken hearts
Broken in twenty-nine parts
Now there are twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms
About the lady from 29 Palms
She got twenty-nine Cadillacs
Twenty-nine sables from Sach's
They came from twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms
Around the lady from 29 Palms
She's a yip-yip-yippy-eyed dolly
A new kinda gal of the west
And yip-yip-yippy by-golly
Whatever she does, she does her best
She rides twenty-nine trails to bliss
Knows twenty-nine ways how to kiss
She is a gal that you dream of, you'd love to have your arms
Around the lady from 29 Palms
She left twenty-nine broken hearts, baby
Broken in twenty-nine parts were their broken hearts, mmm oy-da
doy-da
Twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms
About the lady from 29 Palms
She got twenty-nine Cadillacs, baby
Twenty-nine sables from Sach's and them Cadillacs, mmm boy-da

Twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms
Around the lady from 29 Palms
------ instrumental break ------
She's a yippety-yippety-yippety-eye-oh, what a dolly
A bronco that no one can break
And yippety-yippety-yippety-eye-oh, by-golly
She's never giving, but how she takes
She's got twenty-nine diamond rings
Got, got, got 'em without any strings (Wow!)
A dynamite dream-boat, a load of atom bombs (Who？)
The lady from 29 palms
The lady from 29 palms

Toolie Oolie Doolie (The Yodel Polka)
The Andrews Sisters
- written by Arthur Beul and Vaughn Horton
- as recorded December 19, 1947 in Los Angeles by The Andrews
Sisters
with Vic Schoen ＆ His Orchestra.
When a fella meets a girl in Switzerland
There's a certain thing he's gotta do
He can never, never take her by the hand
Till he learns to toolie oolie doo
When a Swiss boy goes calling
On a Swiss miss in June
Toolie oolie doolie doo
He sings this pretty tune
And he charms her like magic
When he yodels this tune
Toolie oolie doolie doo
Beneath the Alpine moon
The echo
Goes higher
And higher
And soon their hearts are both on fire
When you get lonely
Now you know what to do
Toolie oolie doolie doo
And make your dreams come true
------ instrumental break ------

13.You Call Everybody Darling
YOU CALL EVERYBODY DARLING
Al Trace
- written by Sam Martin, Ben Trace and Clem Watts
- lyrics as recorded July 26, 1948 by The Andrews Sisters
with Orchestra directed by Billy Ternont
You call everybody Darlin'
And everybody calls you Darlin' too
You don't mean what you're sayin'
It's just a game you're playin'
But you'll find someone else can play the game as well as you
If you call everybody Darlin'
Then love won't come a-knockin' at your door
And as the years go by
You'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you Darlin' anymore
(You call everybody Darling
And everybody calls you Darling too
No, no, no, you don't mean what you're sayin'
It's just a game you're playin'
But you'll find someone else can play the game as well as you
If you call everybody Darling
Then love won't come a-knockin' at your door, nevermore
And as the years go by
You'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you Darling anymore)
You call everybody (what？) Darlin' (Oh, dear me, yes)
And everybody calls you Darlin' too (how many times in the day
do I say)
You don't mean what you're sayin'
It's just a game you're playin'
But you'll find someone else can play the game as well as you
(maybe better)
If you call everybody (what？) Darlin'
Then love won't come a-knockin' at your door
Who's there？ (not love)
And as the years go by
You'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you Darlin' anymore
14.Winter Wonderland
Lyricist：Felix Bernard, Richard B Smith
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening？
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, â½Are you married？â
We'll say, â½No, manâ
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the all the kids knock him down
When it snows, ain't it thrilling？
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
15.All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)
Lyricist：Yetter Gardner Donald
Every body stops
And stares at me
These two teeth are
Gone as you can see
I don't know just who
To blame for this catastrophe
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
Is as plain as it can be
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only
Have my two front teeth
Then I could with you
'Merry Christmas.'
It seems so long since I could say
'Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!'
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be
If I could only whistle
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only
Have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you
'Merry Christmas!'
16.Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (Means You're Grand)
Lyricist：Sammy Cahn, Saul Chaplin, Jacob Jacobs, Sholom Sholem Secunda
Of all the boys I've known and I've known some

And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
'Bei mir bist du schön' means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wünderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, 'bei mir bist du schön'
So kiss me and say you understand
Bei mir bist du schön
You've heard it all before but let me try to explain
'Bei mir bist du schön' means that you're grand
'Bei mir bist du schön,' it's such an old refrain
And yet I should explain, it means I am begging for your hand
I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wünderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wünderbar'

17.Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive
Lyricist：Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer
Gather 'round me, everybody
Gather 'round me while I'm preachin'
Feel a sermon comin' on me
The topic will be sin and that's what I'm again
If you wanna hear my story
The settle back and just sit tight
While I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right
You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate 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'd better ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive'
Eliminate the negative and latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-between
(No)
Don't mess with Mister In-between
Ya got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene
You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
(Yes, yes)
Eliminate the negative
(Yes, yes)
And latch on to the affirmative
(Yes, yes)
Don't mess with Mister In-between
No, don't mess with Mister In-between
18.Says My Heart
Lyricist：Burton Lane, Frank Loesser
'Fall in love, fall in love', says my heart
'It's romance, take a chance', says my heart
But each time that I'm almost in your arms
This old school teacher brain of mine
Keeps ringing in false alarms
Then my head rolls instead and I'm wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So I kiss and run but the moment we're apart
'Oh, you fool, that was love', says my heart
Says my heart, it says for me to fall in love, my heart
It also says for me to take a chance, take a chance
Oh my heart, it speaks to the rhythm of the beat
'Don't be a fool', it says to me
Each time I'm in your arms
This heart of mine rings false alarms
'Fall in love, fall in love', says my heart
'Honey, it's romance, take a chance', says my heart
But each time that I'm almost in your arms
This old school teacher brain of mine
Keeps ringing in false alarms
Then my head rolls me instead
So I kiss and then I run away
I'll come back some other day
'Oh, you fool, that was love', says my heart
Now that I am in love, I know you love me
That I should have my heart to answer for me
And it will say to me to fall, to fall in love with you
'Don't be a fool', says my heart
19.By His Word
Lyricist：Wishart Campbell, Walter Huntley
By His word, in the beginnin' by His word
By His word, in the beginnin' by His word
He divided up the light into day and into night
And He saw that it was right by His word
Then He made the earth and seas by His word
Then He made the earth and seas by His word
Made the sun to rule the day and the moon in bright array
Put the stars on the Milky Way by his word
Glory, glory hallelujah
By His word, we started livin' by His word
By His word, we started livin' by His word
Over rock and sky and sea he gave us authority
So, His children could be free by His word
By His word, He made the Sabbath by His word
By His word, He made the Sabbath by His word
He gave us this day of rest, so, who'd 've thought would be the
best
And the sabbath day he blessed by His word
Then He made the earth and seas by His word
Then He made the earth and seas by His word
Made the sun to rule the day and the moon in bright array
Put the stars on the Milky Way by His word
By His word, by His word, by His word
20.Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but Me)
Lyricist：Lew Brown, Sam Stept, Charles Tobias
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
And now I want to be sure, very, very 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
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marching home
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 go walking down lovers' lane with anyone else but me
Till I come marching home
I just got word from a guy who heard
From the guy next door to me
The girl he met just loves to pet
And it fits you to a 'T'
So don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marching home
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
(With anyone else but her)
No, no, no, not a single soul but
No, no, no, don't you sit under the apple tree with anyone else
but me
Not till you see me, not until you see me marching home
Home, home, home, home sweet home
Don't go walking down lovers' lane with anyone else but me
(With anyone else but her)
No, no, no, not a single soul but
No, no, no, don't you go walking down lovers' lane
With anyone else but me
Not till you see me, not until you see me marching home
Home, home, home, home sweet home
Just wait till I come marching home
No, don't go walking down lovers' lane
No, walking down lovers' lane till you see
When you see me marching home
Then we'll go arm in arm and
Sit down under the apple tree
Baby, just you and me
When I come marching home

22.You're Just A Flower From An Old Bouquet
Lyricist：Gwynne Denni, Lucien Denni
I've hunted all over
To find myself a mate
Each girl seemed
Such a disappointment
It was just a trick of fate
I found then a blossom
A girl of long ago
See if you can guess dear
This girl that I love so
You're just a flower from an old bouquet
I've waited patiently for you, each day
You're just a dream come true, I know, dear
My dream, wonderful dreams of you
I'll build a home-nest full of love for you
Far from the world away
There in our sweetheart bower
You're just my flower
From an old Bouquet
I've prayed that my dreams some
Day would all come true
And now at last my prayer is answered
For sweetheart, I've found you
And no other blossom
Will ever share a part
With my flower here
In the garden of my heart
You're just a flower from an old bouquet
I've waited patiently for you, each day
You're just a dream come true, I know, dear
My dream, wonderful dreams of you
I'll build a home-nest full of love for you
Far from the world away
There in our sweetheart bower
You're just my flower
From an old Bouquet
23.Is You Is Or Is You Ain't (My Baby)
Lyricist：Billy Austin, Louis Jordan
I got a gal who's always late
Anytime we have a date
But I love her, yes, I love her
Mmm, he's gonna walk up to my gate
And see if he can get it straight
'Cause he wants her, he's gonna ask her
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
You's is still my baby, baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You find she's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true
Is you or is you ain't my baby, baby, baby boy
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
See here, who's been cuttin' me
You's is still my baby, baby, baby boy
It seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
Oh, blackout
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You find she's gone and made a change
You took my change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Maybe baby's found somebody
Is my baby still my baby true

Lyricist：Lew Brown, Sam Stept, Charles Tobias
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
And now I want to be sure, very, very 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, don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but
me
Till I come marching home
Don't go walkin' down Lover's Lane with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
No, no, no, don't go walkin' down Lover's Lane with anyone else
but me
Till I come marching home
I just got word from a guy who heard from the guy next door to
me
The girl he met just loves to pet and it fits you to a tee
So, don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Till I come marching home
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
With anyone else but her, no, no, no, not a single sole but me
No, no, no, don't you sit under the apple tree with anyone else
but me
Not till you see me, not until you see me marchin' home
Home, home, home sweet home
Don't go walkin' down Lover's Lane with anyone else but me
With anyone else but her, no, no, no, not a single sole but me
No, no, no, don't you go walkin' down Lover's Lane with anyone
else but me
Not till you see me, not until you see me marchin' home
Home, home, home sweet home just wait till I come marching home
So don't go walkin' down to lovers lane, no walkin' down to
Lover's Lane
Till you see me, when you see me marchin' home then we'll go arm
in arm
And sit down under the apple tree, baby, just you and me
When I come marching home

26.Rum and Coca-Cola (1944 Single Version)
Lyricist：Morey Amsterdam, Paul Baron, Jeri Sullavan
If you ever go down Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Oh, beat it man, beat it
Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Oh, you vex me, you vex me
From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
It's a fact, man, it's a fact
In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon
When she hear Der Bingo croon
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
Out on Manzanella Beach
G.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
It's a fact, man, it's a fact
Rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and Coca-Cola
Workin' for the Yankee dollar
27.The Beer Barrel Polka (Roll Out the Barrel)
Lyricist：Lew (eng Lyr) Brown, Wladimir Timm, Jaromir Vejvoda, Vasek
Zeman
In a garden, what a garden
Only happy faces bloom there
And there's never any room there
For a worry or a gloom there
Oh, there's music and there's dancing
And a lot of sweet romancing
When they play the polka
They all get in the swing
Every time they hear that oom-pa-pa
Everybody feels so tra-la-la
They want to throw their cares away
They all go lah-de-ah-de-ay
Then they hear a rumble on the floor, the floor
It's the big surprise they're waiting for
And all the couples form a ring
For miles around you'll hear them sing
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
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Then they hear a rumble on the floor-or-or-or
It's the big surprise they're waiting for
And all the couples, they form a ring
For miles around you'll hear them sing
Dree mopado theedo da-da-da-da
Roll it out, roll it out, roll out the barrel
Da-da-da da-da da-da da-da-da-da-da
Sing a song of good cheer, 'cause the whole gang is here
Roll it out, roll it out, let's do the Beer Barrel Polka
28.Chattanooga Choo Choo
Lyricist：Mack Gordon, Harry Warren
Hello railroad, is this the railroad？
I want a one way ticket down to Tennessee
I'm leaving immediately, Chattanooga, here I come
Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga choo choo？
Right on track 29, boy, you can give me a shine
I can afford to board the Chattanooga choo choo
I've, I've, I've got my fare and just a trifle to spare
You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer
Then to have your ham and eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rolling
Whoo, whoo, Chattanooga, there you are
There's gonna be a certain party at the station
In, in satin and lace, I used to call funny face
She's gonna cry until I tell her that I'll never roam.
So, Chattanooga choo choo, won't you choo choo me home？
Hey, there, boy, yes, yes, yes
I'm a comin' back to Tennessee
Hey, there, boy, yes, yes, yes
I want a one way ticket on the
Chattanooga choo choo train
Hey, pardon me, boy
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo choo choo？
Right on track 29, my baby, I'm fine
Boy, you can give me a shine
Give me a very good shine
There's gonna be a certain party at the station
All dressed up in satin and lace, oh, what a funny face
(I used to call funny face)
I used to call her just a funny face
She's gonna cry until I tell her that I'll never roam
So, Chattanooga choo choo, won't you choo choo me home!？
29.The Christmas Tree Angel
Lyricist：M K Jerome, Jack Scholl
While angels are shining the sky, it's Christmas eve
A sweet little angel takes heavenly leave
She likes to help Santa Claus dress up the tree
So next Christmas morning, look up and you'll see
Sweet Angie, the Christmas tree angel
On the top of the tippy, tippy top of the tree
All dressed up in stardust and tinsel
Have a very, very, merry, merry Christmas, says she
She colors the lights and she sprinkles the snow
She hangs up the holly and bright mistletoe
The loveliest angel you ever have met
She makes Christmas one day we never forget
Sweet Angie, the Christmas tree angel
On the top of the tippy, tippy top of the tree
All dressed up in stardust and tinsel
Have a very, very, merry, merry Christmas, says she
When Santa has filled all the stockings with toys
And left all his gifts for the good girls and boys
Sweet Angie is busy till dawn starts to break
Arranging the toys till the children awake
Then with the morning, a smile on her face
When Angie has put all the toys in their place
The next thing you know, softly laughing with glee
Sweet Angie returns to the top of the tree
Sweet Angie, the Christmas tree angel
On the top of the tippy, tippy top of the tree
All dressed up in stardust and tinsel
Have a very, very, merry, merry Christmas, says she
On the top of the tippy, tippy top of the tree
Have a very, very, merry, merry Christmas, says she
Merry Christmas

And find my stocking filled with you
You're all I want for Christmas
All I want my whole life through
Each day is just like Christmas
Anytime that I'm with you
You're all I want for Christmas
And if all my dreams come true
Then I'll awake on Christmas morning
And find my stocking filled with you
And find my stocking filled with you
31.Bei Mir Bist Du Schön (Means That You're Grand)
Lyricist：Sammy Cahn, Saul Chaplin, Jacob Jacobs, Sholom Sholem Secunda
Of all the boys I've known and I've known some
Until I first met you I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
'Bei mir bist du schön' means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wünderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, 'bei mir bist du schön'
So kiss me and say you understand
Bei mir bist du schön
You've heard it all before but let me try to explain
'Bei mir bist du schön' means that you're grand
'Bei mir bist du schön,' it's such an old refrain
And yet I should explain, it means I am begging for your hand
I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wünderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wünderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain 'bei mir bist du schön'
So kiss me and say that you will understand!
32.(I'll Be With You In) Apple Blossom Time
Lyricist：Neville Fleeson, Albert Von Tilzer
I'll be with you in apple blossom time

One day in May, I'll come and say
Happy surprise that the sun shines on today
What a wonderful wedding there will be
What a wonderful day for you and me
Church bells will chime
You will be mine in apple blossom time
I'll be with you, when？ In apple blossom time
Then what will you do？
Then, I'll be with you to change your name to mine
When will that be？
One day maybe in May
Then what will you do？
I'll come and say to you dear
Happy surprise that the sun shines on today
Then what a wonderful wedding there will be
One day in May
What a very, very wonderful day for you and me dear
Church bells will chime
You will be mine, when？ In apple, in apple blossom time
33.Rhumboogie
Lyricist：Hughie Prince, Don Raye
All Harlem's got a brand new rhythm
And it's burning up the dance floors
Because it's so hot
They took a little rhumba rhythm
And they added boogie woogie
And now look what they've got
Rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
It's Harlem's new creation
With a Cuban syncopation
It's a killer
Rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
The native rhythm haunts you
It's barbaric and it taunts you
It's a killer
Just plant your both feet on each side
Let both your hips and shoulders glide
Then throw your body back and ride
There's nothing like rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
In Harlem or Havana
You can kiss the old Savanna
It's a killer
{Oh, beat me daddy, eight to the bar}
Rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
It's Harlem's new creation
With a Cuban syncopation
It's a killer
Rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
The native rhythm haunts you
It's barbaric and it taunts you
It's a killer
Just plant your toes and both feet on the side
Let both your hips and shoulders glide
Then throw your body way back and ride
Think a little of, the rhumba
The boogie, the woogie
Then put them, both all together
You have rhumboogie
Then all together sing rhumboogie
Rhumboogie woogie, rhumboogie
In Harlem or Havana
It'll kiss the old Savanna
It's a killer, it's a killer this rhumboogie
Rhumboogie, rhumboogie
Rhumboogie woogie woogie woogie woogie
Do do do do diddleyada do diddleyada do do dee
There's nothing like rhumboogie
Lyricist：Hughie Prince, Don Raye, Eleanor Sheehy
In a little honky-tonky village in Texas
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
He can play piano any way that you like it
But the way he likes to play is eight to the bar
When he plays, it's a ball, he's the daddy of them all
The people gather around when he gets on the stand
Then when he plays, he gets a hand
The rhythm he beats puts the cats in a trance
Nobody there bothers to dance
But when he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler out, 'Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar'
A-plink, a-plank, a-plink-a-plank-a-plink-a-plank
A-plunkin' on the keys
A-riff, a-raff, a-riff-a-raff-a-riff-a-raff
A-riffin' out with ease
And when he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler out, 'Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar'
He plays a boogie, he plays eight to the bar
The boogie-woogie, that is the way he likes to play on his piano
And we all know
That when he plays he puts them all in a trance
The cats all holler, 'Hooray'
You'll hear them say, 'Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar'
In a little honky-tonky village in Texas
There's a guy who plays the best piano by far
When he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler, 'Beat me up Daddy, beat me Daddy, eight to the bar'
The people gather around when he gets up on the stand
Then when he plays, he gets a hand
The rhythm that he plays puts the cats in a trance
Nobody there ever bothers to dance
But when he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler out, 'Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar'
A-plink-plink, a-plank-plank, a-plink-a-plank-a-plink-a-plank
A-plunkin' on the keys
A-riff-riff, a-raff-raff, a-riff-a-raff-a-riff-a-raff
A-riffin' out with ease
And when he plays with the bass and guitar
They holler out, 'Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar'

Pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin'

37.Ciribiribin
Lyricist：Harry James, Jack Lawrence, Alberto Pestalozza
When the moon hangs low in Napoli
There's a handsome gondolier
Every night he sings so happily
So his lady love can hear
In a manner so gravissimo
He repeats his serenade
And his heart beats so fortissimo
When she raises her Venetian shade
Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin
Ciribiribin, he waits for her each night beneath her balcony
Ciribiribin, he begs to hold her tight, but no, she won't agree
Ciribiribin, she throws a rose and blows a kiss from up above
Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love
Ciribiribin, he waits for her each night beneath her little
balcony
Ciribiribin, he begs to hold her tight
But no, oh no, no, she won't agree
Ciribiribin, she throws a rose and blows a kiss from up above
Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they're so in love
Ciribiribin, che bel faccin
Che sguardo dolce assassin
Ciribiribin, ciribirbin, ciribirbin, che bel faccin

Then they talked about the weather
But their heads were close together
They agreed it's tu-li-tu-li-tu-li
Tu-li-tu-li-tu-li-tulip time
He said, 'Are you truly truly truly
Truly truly truly truly truly mine
With a kiss she sighed 'forever'
You can hardly blame them
You would do the same in
Tu-li tulip time

Holdin' hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strollin' with the one boy
Sighin' sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more？
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it
Oh, won't you tell me how？
I'm holdin' hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Oh my, oh my, oh my

Hold on thinkin' of the one I love
I don't know and I don't care
I feel as though floatin' on air
Floatin' through the skys above
'Cause I'm thinkin' of the one that I love
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Holdin' hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strollin' with the one guy
Sighin' sigh after sigh
That's good work if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more？
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
That's called nice work
That's called nice work
If you can get it
That's nice work
