The McGuire Sisters Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Christmas Alphabet

Lyricist:Buddy Kaye, Jules Loman

C H R I S T M A S

C is for the candy trimmed around the Christmas tree
H is for the happiness with all the family
R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane
I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane
S is for the stocking on the chimney wall

T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall
M is for the mistletoe where every one is kissed
A is for the angels who make up the Christmas list
S is for old Santa who makes every kid his pet
Be good and he'll bring you everything
In your Christmas alphabet

Capital C is for the candy trimmed around the Christmas tree
H is for the happiness with all the family
R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane
I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane
S is for the stocking on the chimney wall

T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall
M is for the mistletoe where every one is kissed
A is for the angels who make up the Christmas list
S is for old Santa who makes every kid his pet
Be good and he'll bring you everything
In your Christmas, Christmas alphabet

C H R I S T M A S

(bell ringing)
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong

CHORUS:

Wella wella wella wella
I'm waitin for the bell to go ding dong ding dong
You're the lover boy I'm meetin after school at 3
Wella wella wella wella
I'm waitin for the bell to go ding dong ding dong

First one out when the bell is gonna ring is me
Gotta lot of dates to memorize in history
I gotta lot of guys who did a lot of things
A couple hundred years ago

Why I gotta learn those numbers is a mystery
A date with you after school is the only date I know

CHORUS

Music interlude

CHORUS

Gotta study up for French vocabulary
To learn a lot of words and how to spell em right
Is not an easy thing to do
Only know the words that I find necessary
(french for I love you) is all I know
It means that I love you

CHORUS

First one out when the bell is gonna ring
First one out when the bell is gonna ring
First one out when the bell is gonna ring is me


3.Ev'ry Day of My Life

Lyricist:Jimmie Crane, Al Jacobs

Ev'ry day of my life, I'll be in love with you
Ev'ry day of my life, I promise I'll be true
I'll never make you cry and as the years go by
I'll always try to do what pleases you

Ev'ry day of my life, I'll need you close to me
And if I have my way, that's where you'll always be
I'll prove how much I love you over and over again
Ev'ry moment I live, ev'ry day of my life

Ev'ry day of my life, I'll need you close to me
And if I have my way, that's where you'll always be
I'll prove how much I love you over and over again
Ev'ry moment I live, ev'ry day of my life


4.Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight

Lyricist:Calvin Carter, James Hudson

Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go
I hate to leave you but I really must say
Goodnight sweetheart, goodnight

Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go
I hate to leave you but I really must say
Goodnight sweetheart goodnight

Well it's three o'clock in the morning
Baby I just can't treat you right
Oh I hate to leave you baby
Don't mean maybe because I love you so

Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go
I hate to leave you but I really must say
Goodnight sweetheart goodnight

Now my mother and my father
They might hear, if I stay here too long
One kiss and we'll part and you'd better be going
Although I hate to see you go

Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go
I hate to leave you but I really must say
Goodnight sweetheart goodnight


5.It May Sound Silly

Lyricist:Ivory Joe Hunter

It may sound silly for me to say this
After the way you broke my heart
But I still love you although we are apart

It may sound silly to say I miss you
I must confess that this is true
I want you only 'cause no one else will do

The day we quarreled and you left me
Before you walked out through the door
I wanted to tell you how much I would miss you
But my pride wouldn't let me tell you so

It may sound silly but if you phone me
And ask forgiveness for doin' me wrong
It may sound silly but I'd be waiting with open arms

Oh yes it may sound silly but if you phone me
And ask forgiveness for doin' me wrong
It may sound silly but I'd be waiting with open arms


6.Just for Old Time's Sake

Lyricist:Hank Hunter, Jack Keller

Oh darling, just for old times sake
Turn back the hands of time
Pretend that you're still mine
Just for old times sake

Although I know you said goodbye to me
I can't help thinking how it used to be
I guess I'll always be in love with you
I can't forget the things we used to do

Oh darling, just for old times sake
Turn back the hands of time
Pretend that you're still mine
Just for old times sake

Well I know that if once more we share a kiss
You'll realize that it's a thrill you miss
That old time feeling deep within your heart
Would make you give our love a brand new start

Oh darling, just for old times sake
Turn back the hands of time
Pretend that you're still mine
Just for old times sake

Just for old times sake
Just for old times sake

May you always walk in sunshine
Slumber warm when night winds blow
May you always live with laughter
For a smile becomes you so

May good fortune find your doorway
May the bluebird sing your song
May no trouble travel your way
May no worry stay too long

May your heartaches be forgotten
May no tears be spilled
May old acquaintance be remembered
And your cup of kindness filled

And may always be a dreamer
May your wildest dream come true
May you find someone to love
As much as I love you

(May your heartaches be forgotten)

May old acquaintance be remembered
And your cup of kindness filled

And may always be a dreamer
May your wildest dream come true
May you find someone to love
As much as I love you

NO MORE
The McGuire Sisters
Toots Camarata / Bob Russell

You ain't gonna bother me no more
Nohow
Love just goes so far
No more
Woke up this morining and found
I didn't care for you no more
Nohow
Never felt so good before
You're down to my size
It's over and done
So honey, step down from your throne
That look in your eyes
Don't bother me none
Can take or leave you alone
From my window
Skys ain't grey nomore
Not now
Here's the day
That I've been waiting for
Got only one heart
One heart with no spares
Must save it for loving
Somebody who cares
So you ain't gonna bother me
No more, no more


9.Picnic

Lyricist:Steve Allen, George Dunning

On a picnic morning
Without a warning
I looked at you
And somehow I knew

On a day for singing
My heart went winging
A picnic grove
Was our rendezvous

You and I in the sunshine
We strolled the fields and farms
At the last light of evening
I held you in my arms

Now when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall
Picnic time with you

Now when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall
Picnic time with you


10.True Love

Lyricist:Cole Porter

I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true

My love is forever true

12.Love and Marriage

Lyricist:Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary

Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one, you can't have none
You can't have one without the other

Love, love, love, love and marriage
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one, you can't have none
You can't have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Love and, and, no you can't have one, you can't have none
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage

15.He

Lyricist:Richard Mullan, Jack Richards

He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone decides who writes a symphony
He lights ev'ry star that makes the darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night

He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner calls and always finds him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, 'I forgive'

He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, 'I forgive'

He forgives


16.Something's Gotta Give

Lyricist:Johnny Mercer

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet as sure as you live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna be kissed

So en garde who knows what the fates have in store
From their vast mysterious sky
I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore
But how long can anyone try?

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

Fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta, something's gotta
give


17.Volare

Lyricist:Francesco Migliacci, Domenico Modugno, Mitchell Parish

Volare, oh, oh
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh

Let's fly way up to the cloud
Away from the maddening crowd
We can sing in the glow of
A star that I know of whew

Lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion
And all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather
A rainbow together we'll find

Volare, oh, oh
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh

No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings

Sometimes the world is a
Valley of heartaches and tears
And in the hustle and bustle
No sunshine appears

But you and I have our love
Always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave
All the shadows behind us

Volare, oh, oh
(Volare)
(Oh, volare, oh, oh)

Cantare
(Cantare)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Oh, cantare, oh, oh)

No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings

My happy heart sings
Volare, oh, oh


18.Muskrat Ramble

Lyricist:Ray Gilbert, Edward 'kid' Ory

Shufflin', shufflin', shufflin' down
Ramblin', scramblin', headin' for town
Hustlin', bustlin', buzzin' around
Happily awaitin' at the station

Look at that train number 709
It's a fuffin' and a puffin' and comin' on time
Who do you think's about to arrive?
The band they call, the Dixieland Five

Da da da da dum
Da da da da dum
Da da da da
Da da da da

They're gonna play
That muskrat ramble tune
You've never heard it played
Join in the big parade

Altogether now one and two
Join that happy throng
Feel the beat of that ramblin'
Scramblin' muskrat song
Come on, and ramble along

Look at them a shufflin', shufflin' down
Ramblin', scramblin', headin' for town
Hustlin', bustlin', buzzin' around
Happily awaitin' at the station

See that number 709
Huffin' and puffin', on time
Who do you think's about to arrive?
The band they call the Dixieland Five

Da da da da dum

They're gonna play
That muskrat ramble tune
You've never heard it played
Join in the big parade

Altogether now one and two

Scramblin' muskrat song
Come on and ramble along
Pa ra ra rap
