1.Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms

Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms
Lyrics/Music Trad/T.Moore
Believe me
If all those endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow
And fleet in my arms
Like fairy gifts fading away
Thou would still be adored
As this moment thou art
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin
Each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still
It is not while beauty
And youth are thine own
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear
That the fervor and faith
Of a soul can be known
To which time has but made thee more dear
No, the heart which has truly
Loved never forgets
But as truly loves on to the close
As the sunflower turns
To her god when he sets
The same look which she gave when he rose
2.Polly Wolly Doodle

Polly Wolly Doodle
Lyrics/Music S.Clare & B.DeSylva
Oh I eat watermelon and I have for years
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
I like watermelon but it wets my ears
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Maybe grass tastes good to a moo cows mouth
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
But I like Chicken cos I'm from the South
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well
Mr Gloom be on your way
If you think you're gonna worry
You can stop it in a hurry
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Oh the wood pecker pecks till he gets his fill
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
But the woodpecker pays cos its on his bill
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Oh I feed my pigs from molasses yam
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
So they should be sweeter than they really am
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well
Mr Gloom be on your way
Though you haven't any money
You can still be bright and sunny
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Oh, I hate to hear a chocolate drop
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
But I like to hear a Lollipop
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Every thing went wrong but it turned out right
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
The skies were grey but the future's bright
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well
Mr Gloom Be on your way
Never listen to the devil
Simply be a little rebel
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day!
------
A Polly is a parrot, we all know well
But just what a Wolly is, I can't tell
I wouldn't know a Doodle, if one came along
But Polly Wolly Doodle, makes a darn good song!

Laugh You Son Of A Gun
Lyrics/Music Leo Robin/Ralph Rainger
I'm not a king
But I've got more than a king
Because this whole world
Seems to be a comedy to me
I may be broke
But I take life as a joke
And if you want to
Make each day a holiday
Try my way
Look at the funny side
And have your fun
Stay by your honey's side
And laugh you son of a gun
It doesn't cost a thing
To buy the sun
You haven't lost a thing
So laugh you son of a gun
I don't mean a snigger
heh heh heh
I don't mean a giggle
hee hee hee
I don't mean a chuckle
No no no no
What I mean is ho ho ho ho
Look at the funny side
For when you're done
Its all a buggy ride
So laugh you son of a gun!
5.The World Owes Me A Living
Temple Shirley
Now and Forever (1934)
The World Owes Me A Living
Oh the world owes me a living
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum
Oh the world owes me a living
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum
If I worked hard all day I might
Sleep badder when in bed at night
I sleep all day so that's alright
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum
There once was an old grasshopper
Who could only think of fun
He looked on work as something too
Unpleasant to be done
He loved to sit in the summer sun
And fiddle all day long
While dozing there he played this air
And singed this little song
The north wind blew the leaves away
When winter came one stormy day
The snow fell fast upon the ground
No food nor shelter could be found
This old grasshopper sad and weak
Could hardly hop or view his feet
He slipped, He fell
Poor Chap, Farewell
Some ants stayed in their hilly home
Looked out and saw him sneezing
They soaked his feet in mustard sauce
He grew better soon
Now every day they hear him play
And sing this little tune
Oh I owe the world a living
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum, ah-choo!
Oh I owe the world a living
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum, ah-choo!
I got a bad cold in my head
You ants were right the time you said
You've got to work for all you get
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum, ah-choo!

Baby Take A Bow
Lyrics/Music L.Brown/L.Brown & J.Gorney
Nobody gave me a mention
Till they saw me with you
Paid me a bit of attention
Till they saw me with you
Suddenly strange people walked up to me
Pretending they knew me
And begging me to introduce you
------
Now everybody is asking me
Who's that bunch of poison-alities
With a figure like a cow
Baby take a bow
Everybody wants to know
Where I found this roving Romeo
You could haunt a house and how
Baby take the bow
Oh hear them whispering
Hasn't she got anything
Why baby your a stand-out
Mister was a bunch of fool you handouts
But I'm gonna stand right here and say
That I wish you were a million miles away
Funny I feel that way too - Is that so
Baby take a boo
Oh our act was awful up to now
Baby take a bow
------
Everybody's asking me
Who's that bunch of personality
I'm presenting you right now
Baby take a bow
Everybody wants to know
Where I found the lovely Cameo
I'm presenting you right now
Baby take a bow
Hear them whispering
Hasn't she got everything
Your a stand-out
Listen to the compliments they handout
Let me stand right up and say
Meet the future Missus Hemmingway
I'm presenting you right now
Baby take a bow
------
Everybody's asking me
Who's that bunch of personality
I'm presenting you right now
Daddy take a bow
Everybody wants to know
Who's that great big handsome Romeo
I'm presenting you right now

Hear them whispering

On The Good Ship Lollipop
Lyrics/Music S.Clare & R.Whiting
I've thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I'm going to fly
I'll be a pilot too
And when I do, how would you
Like to be my crew
------
On the good ship lollipop
Its a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Crackerjack bands fill the air
And there you are!
Happy landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll
With the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much ooh ooh
You'll awake with a tummy ache
On the good ship lollipop
Its a night trip into bed you hop
And dream away
On the good ship lollipop

At The Codfish Ball
Lyrics/Music S.Mitchell/L.Pollack
Next Friday night your all invited
To dance from 8 to 5
All the fishes still alive
Are having a ball
Its some affair they'll all be there
From the Herring to the Whale
They'll turn out to shake a scale
In Neptune's Hall
Come along and follow me
To the bottom of the sea
We'll join in the Jamboree
At the Codfish ball
Lobsters dancing in a row
Shuffle off to Buffalo
Jelly fish sway to and fro
At the Codfish ball
Finn-an-haddie leads the eel
Thought an Irish reel
The Catfish is a dancing man
But he can't can-can like a sardine can
Tunas trucking left and right
Minnies mooching what a night
There won't be a hook in site
At the Codfish ball

Early Bird
Lyrics/Music S.Mitchell/L.Pollack
Good morning, good morning
Nature hums when morning comes along
Day's dawning, stop yawning
And begin to join me in my song
Early bird, up at break of day
Early bird, sing the dark away
Early birdies always catch a worm or two
So don't be late you've got a date
Your worm is awaiting you
Sleepy head, never see the sun
Stay a-beds, always miss the fun
Whistle in the morning
Send the worm a warning
Sleepy Head, tumble out of bed
Be a little early bird
13.Sextet From Lucia (Lucia di Lammermoor)
Temple Shirley
Captain January (1936)
Sextet From Lucia (Lucia di Lammermoor)
Lyrics/Music G.Donizetti
(Shirley, Slim Sommerville, Guy Kibbee)
Sextet name Chi mi Frena in tal Momento
(Who restrains me at this moment)
Words from this famous tragic Italian Opera were replaced with
La-La-La's
Of the 67 operas which Donizetti wrote, Lucia is probably the
best known and most popular. Based on Scott's novel The Bride of
Lammermoor, its action is set in a largely imaginary Scotland
towards the end of the 17th Century
Act 1 A preamble to the story of the love affair between Lucia
and the disposessed heir of Ravenswood Edgardo. The lovers
exchange rings as Edgardo is to be sent to France
Act 11 The Lord of Ravenswood Enrico tries to induce his sister
Lucia to marry the young laird of Bucklaw Arturo, to repair his
waning fortunes. He falsely informs Lucia that her lover Edgardo
is unfaithful and shows her a forged letter. But Lucia still
holds out until the chaplain Raimondo also urges her to make the
sacrifice for her family
The second scene opens in the great hall of Ravenswood Castle,
the chosen groom Arturo has arrived for the signing of the
marriage contract and just as Lucia has also reluctantly done
so, the lover Edgardo bursts into the hall
Now follows the Sextet, Edgardo finds his anger checked at the
sight of swooning Lucia. Enrico is torn between his hatred for
Edgardo and pity for his sister, Lucia deplores her misery and
inability to die. Raimondo expresses horror of the outcome and
pity for Lucia. At the conclusion of the sextet Edgardo is
threatened with swords and after some defiance the chaplain
persuades him to depart
Act 111 The opera ends with Lucia stabbing Arturo then dying of
a broken heart while Edgardo, on learning of Lucia's death draws
his dagger and stabs himself in order to join her
14.The Right Somebody To Love

The Right Somebody To Love
Lyrics/Music J.Yellen/L.Pollack
Young and old, and in between
Six or sixty or sixteen
When you think that fate has been unkind
Cause you haven't many toys
Like some other girls and boys
Here's a little rhyme worth remembering sometime
------
What makes life the sweetest, bestest and completest
Not a big doll house, or a Mickey Mouse
But the right somebody to love
Icecream cake and candy, may be fine and dandy
But if you ask me, there not one two three
With the right somebody to love
One you really care for
And is yours to have and keep
One you say a pray'r for
In your Now I lay me down to sleep
Tho your not quite seven, what is most like heaven
Its the joy that's found, with your arms around
The right somebody to love
------
What makes life the sweetest, bestest and competest
Not what you and I go out and buy
But the right somebody to love
You may have a bankful, for which to be thankful
Nothing you posess brings you happiness
Like the right somebody to love
One you really care for
And is yours to have and keep
One you say a pray'r for
In your Now I lay me down to sleep
All the milk and honey, pockets full of money
Cannot take the place, of the sweetest embrace
Of the right somebody to love

Animal Crackers In My Soup
Lyrics/Music T.Koehler & I.Caesar/R.Henderson
Once Mother said My litle pet
you ought to learn your alphabet
So in my soup I used to get
All the letters of the alphabet
I learned them all from A to Z
And now my Mothers giving me
------
Animal crackers in my soup
Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop
Gosh oh gee but I have fun
Swallowing animals one by one
In every bowl of soup I see
Lions and Tigers watching me
I make 'em jump right through a hoop
Those animal crackers in my soup
When I get hold of the big bad wolf
I just push him under to drown
Then I bite him in a million bits
And I gobble him right down
When their inside me where its dark
I walk around like Noahs Arc
I stuff my tummy like a goop
With animal crackers in my soup
Animal crackers in my soup
Do funny things to me
They make me think my neighbourhood
Is a big menagerie
For instance there's our Janitor
His name is Mr Klein
And when he Hollers at us kids
He reminds me of a Lion
The Grocer is so big and fat
He has a big moustache
He looks just like a Walrus
Just before he takes a splash

Curly Top
Lyrics/Music Ted Koehler/I.Caesar/Ray Henderson
(Sung by John Boles only)
Whenever clouds start gathering
To cover up the sun
It really doesn't mean a thing to me
It seems a tiny miracle
Comes to me on a run
And never fails to bring a remedy
She's just a little curly headed thing
Who creeps into my heart and makes it sing
Curly top
You little bundle of joy
Curly Top
You're like a wonderful toy
You're just so full of sunshine
Folks agree
You could supply the world
With Vitamin D
Two eyes that make
The heavens proud to be blue
Angel cake
It's just a copy of you
Take ev'rything that's sweet
All rolled into one
That can't top you

17.When I Grow Up

Curly Top (1935)
When I Grow Up
Lyrics/Music E.Heyman/R.Henderson
I get a terr'ble awful ache
Specially when it rains
At first I was a fraidy cat
but now I know its growing pains
Gosh oh gee, can't you see
Ill soon be grown up tall
So Ive got to think what I will be
When I'm no longer small
------
When I grow up
In a year or two or three
I'll be happy as can be
Like a birdie in the tree
When I grow up
There's a lot I want to do
I will have real dollies too
Like the woman in the shoe
I want to be a teacher
So the children can say
Teacher dear the gang's all here
With apples today
When I grow up
I will have a big surprise
For I'll bake the kind of pies
That will make you roll your eyes
And if you see
That you need some company
You can call me up and I'll come down
When I grow up
------
When I am sweet sixteen
I'm going to a ball
Of all the ladies there
I'd like to be the best of all
I'll wear a dress of silver lace
They'll call me Princess Curly
I'll be like Cinderella
'Cept I won't get home so early
I want to meet a handsome prince
With a uniform of gold
But I won't lose my slippers
'Cos my tootsies might get cold
I'll talk of queens and dance with kings
Like a little princess would
But if I could only - I'll be good
------
When I'm twentyone
I wish that I could look
Like a picture that I saw
In a pretty story book
A lady all dressed up in white
With flowers in her hand
And such a veil I never saw
The biggest in the land
Four little girls were standing there
Much tinier than me
And they all carried baskets
They looked happy as can be
Everyone was smiling
And having lots of fun
I wish that I could be like that
When I am twentyone
------
When I get very very old
I'll stay at home all day
But I haven't quite made up my mind
Its much too far away
I think that I would like to be
Like the lady on the wall
She looks so nice and comfy
In her rocking chair and all
That little cap upon her head
She looks real pretty too
I like her long and funny dress
I like her hair don't you
It must be oh so quiet
You can hear the tick of the clock
But it must be fun to have nothing to do
But rock and rock and rock

The gospel train is a comin'
I hear it yes at hand
I hear the car was movin'
And a rumblin' through the land
Oh get on board, get on board, get on board

Oh get on board, get on board, get on board

Oh get on board, get on board, get on board

He was a dandy

He was a dandy
And she was a belle
She wore a bonnet
With blue ribbons on it
And he wore a flower
In his coat lapel
He was so handsome
And she was oh, so fair
While strolling on the avenue
Folks would stop and stare
For he was a dandy

He was a dandy
And she was a belle
She wore a bonnet
With a stuffed tomato on it
And he wore a flower
In his coat lapel

Hey What Did The Bluejay Say
Lyrics/Music T.Koehler/J.McHugh
Hey what did the bluejay say
To the little sparrow
On the fence one day
Say you'll never guess, so I
Will tell you what I overheard while passing by
The bluejay said how do you do
Mr sparrow how are you
The sparrow said how do I do
I do just as I please and then away he flew
Hey what did the bluejay say
To the little sparrow as he flew away
Say nobody ever heard
Because he didn't get a chance to say a word
The bluejay didn't notice that
On the fence there was a cat
The sparrow flew but the bluejay sat
And now he's just a little bird on Nellie's hat

Picture Me Without You
Lyrics/Music T.Koehler/J.McHugh
When somebody loves somebody
Ev'rything and ev'rybody
Makes life a happy song
When somebody has nobody
Birds won't sing and that somebody
Finds life without a song
If you wanna see a picture
Of the whole world upside-down
Just picture me without you
And you without me
Just close your eyes and you'll see
How lonesome we'd be
Stars would fall
Dreams would all crumble
Down for good
Castles would tumble
There'd be no me without you
No you without me
And yet nobody could be
As happy as we
Smiling through
Clinging to-gether
What would I do without you
And you without me

Ev'ry girlie and boy will get a toy
And lots of candy and cake

She's Only A Bird In A Guilded Cage
Lyrics/Music A.J.Lamb/H.Von Tilzer (1900)
She's only a bird in a guilded cage
A beautiful sight to see
You may think she's happy and free from care
She's not, though she seems to be
'Tis sad when you think of her wasted life
For youth cannot mate with age
Her beauty was sold, for an old man's gold
She's a bird in a guilded cage

In Our Little Wooden Shoes
Lyrics/Music Sidney Mitchell and Lew Pollack
Have you seen my new shoes
They are made out of wood
Such nice little shoes
Don't you think they look good?
I can dance all around
With the greatest of ease
I can jump from the ground
To the tops of the trees
I'll tell you something I'm going to try
Put on your shoes and away we'll fly
We'll take a trip
Wherever we choose
We'll dance and skip
In our little wooden shoes
How many miles will you travel with me
One miles or two miles or maybe three
We'll make a stop
Wherever we choose
We'll skip and hop
In our little wooden shoes
Wasn't our journey a nice holiday
We'll take another some other day
We'll take a trip
Wherever we choose
We'll dance and skip
In our little wooden shoes

28.I Love Geraniums
Temple Shirley
Honeymoon (1947)
I Love Geraniums
Lyrics/Music Mort Greene/Leigh Harline
Some ladies love to get orchids
Or roses with stems a mile long
Some girls prefer a gardenia
Camelias might ring the gong
Or sometimes they like an old fashioned bouquet
A quaint little nosegay on Valentine's Day
But I must disagree
These species are not for me
I love geraniums
Bright, red geraniums
And ev'rytime I see one
I always think of you
I hate 'chrysafadums'
Can't say 'chrysanthemums'
I might as well just be one
If I can't be with you
A rose is red
A violet's blue
And I am only human
But I'll admit when I'm with you
You steal a little kiss and I start bloomin'
I love geraniums
Bright, red geraniums
And ev'rytime I see one
I always think of you
Without your love
Well, goodness knows
There's no two ways 'abott' it
I'd be just like a ramblin' rose
And I'd go out and get my poor self potted
I love geraniums
Bright, red geraniums
But I don't love geraniums
As much as I love you
29.Ven Aqui

You near as you care to be
Stay away, far away
If you don't want romance
To suddenly come your way
But if you, love me too
Ven Aqui, come to me, Ven Aqui

Temple Shirley
Just Around the Corner (1938)
I'll Always Be Lucky With You
Lyrics/Music W.Bullock/H.Spina
(Cut from the film formerly Lucky Penny, sung with Charles
Farrell)
(Shirley)
I don't need a horseshoe
Don't need four-leaf clovers
'Cause I'll always be lucky with you
On Friday the thirteenth
I'll walk under ladders!
'Cause I'll always be lucky with you
That rabbit's foot I'll throw away for good
And don't ask me to knock on wood!
I won't cross my fingers
But nuthin' can happen
'Cause I'll always be lucky with you!
(Farrell, spoken)
And you wouldn't be afraid if someday
A big black cat should cross your path?
(Shirley)
No! I'll always be lucky with you!
(Farrell, spoken)
And suppose you should break a mirror?
Wouldn't that seven years business scare you?
(Shirley)
No! 'Cause I'll always be lucky with you!
Those superstitious things are just a bluff
I'm MUCH too old for all that stuff!
(Farrell, spoken)
Yes? Well how about the wish you made last week
When you saw that falling star?
(Shirley)
Well . . . I'll always be lucky
(whispers) 'Cause the wish was all about you!

Oh Mister Weather man

Can't we have more drops
Now its all around me
Gee I'm glad you found me
------
I love to walk in the rain
Look for me when its stormy
Down some lazy lane and I'll be there
I'd love to walk in the rain
The lightning may be frightening
I love the rain so I don't care
I feel wonderful
When the sky's above are thunderful
I don't complain
I know its fun in the sun
But take all kinds of weather
When all said and done
I love to walk, in the rain
------
Monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday
How about a week with every day a pitter patter day
I wouldn't complain
32.This Is A Happy Little Ditty

Just Around the Corner (1938)
This Is A Happy Little Ditty
Lyrics/Music W.Bullock/H.Spina
This is a happy little ditty
I know the music isn't pretty
You know the words are not so witty
Anyone can sing this song
Change keys it really doesn't matter
There's still a lot of silly chatter
Ho-hum where coming to the patter
Jack and Jill went up the hill
And for all I know their up there still
I must say the music isn't pretty
Must say the words are not so witty
This is a happy little ditty
You can sing it all day long
-----
This is a happy little ditty
I know the music isn't pretty
You know the words are not so witty
Anyone can sing this song
Change keys it really doesn't matter
Its just a lot of silly chatter
Hold on kids we're coming to the patter
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
It must have been awful stuffy in there
Still say the music isn't pretty
Still say the words are not so witty
This is a happy little ditty
You can sing it all day long
-----
This is a happy little ditty
I know the music isn't pretty
You know the words are not so witty
Anyone can sing this song
Change keys it really doesn't matter
Its just a lot of silly chatter
Hold on we're coming to the patter
Early to bed, and early to rise
And your gal goes out with other guys
I still say the music isn't pretty
Still say the words are not so witty
This is a happy little ditty
You can sing it all day long

Kathleen (1941)
Air Trailer
Lyrics/Music R.Edens/Brent
Leo is on the Air!
(Intro music, Kathleen theme)
This is your Hollywood radio reporter, coming to you from the
little
theatre in the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios.
(Music - Kathleen themes)
One of these days someone will write a history of motion
pictures
It's going to be an exciting story of dreams and ambitions, of
hard
work and faith, of disappointments and overnight triumphs
It will be a story of unusual people...
And away up top and important,
you will read about a young lady who is here now
You will meet her in a moment
But first I want to tell you something about her
(Background of Shirley's history)
She made her first appearance in 1928
She was born that year on April 23rd
For her the years of obscurity were few
In 1932 she made her motion picture debut
You liked her, in fact, you raved about her
By 1934 she had become motion picture's No1 attraction
You and your next door neighbor were completely captivated,
when you saw her as, Little Miss Marker
Before the year was over you had gone back to your favorite
theatre,
to see Stand Up and Cheer, Baby Take a Bow, Bright Eyes
That same year, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences
Bestowed upon her a special award for her outstanding
contribution to the screen
She has appeared in 20 hit pictures since then
Pictures like Little Colonel, Captain January, The Littlest
Rebel
And The Little Princess
You've laughed with her, yes
And you cried with her too
You'll remember her best as a chubby curly head
Well you should see her today, quite tall, poised, still smiling
Here she is now.
Ladies and Gentlemen

Thank you Shirley, thank you for a swell job.

Do Ray Me Fa So, Kathleen
Do Ray Me Fa So, Kathleen
Do Ray Me Fa So Fa So Do Ray Me Fa So La So
Do Do Ray Me Fa So La Ti
Do Ray Me Fa So La Ti Do

(Soprano hitting high notes on appegios, then ending on a low
note)
(Shirley)
When I'm feeling awf'lly low
And ev'rything goes wrong
There's a place I always go
I wish you'd come along
It's not so hard to find
And I'm sure that you'd think it worth while
'Cause it's a place where people learn to smile
Around the corner
The skies are blue
Around the corner
Where dreams come true
Just leave your cares behind you
Where they can't find you
And start life over anew
Around the corner
You'll find a song
To always help you
When things go wrong
And if you keep pretending
You'll find a happy ending
Around the corner from you
(Soprano on high notes again)
35.We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye
Temple Shirley
Kid in Hollywood (1933)
We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye
We thought our love was over
That we were really through
I said I didn't love him
That we'd begin anew
And you can all believe me
Were sure on camera too
But we just couldn't say goodbye
A caravan of sulphur
We both got up and cried
The troops all started waving
For me to come inside
I tell you confidentially
That tears were hard to hide
But we just couldn't say goodbye
The clock was striking 12 o'clock
and looked on us below
With folded hands it seems to say
We'll miss you if you go
So I would like to kiss him
And when I looked around
The room was singing love songs
And dancing up and down
And now we're both so happy
Because I'm lost and found
But we just couldn't say goodbye

Little Colonel
Lyrics/Music P.Webster/L.Pollack
(Song released for publicity but not in the finished film)
You sure started sump'in
When you dumped your kidde cart
Toys and dolls are scattered ev'rywhere
Peck o' mischief
Don't know why I always take your part
Sweet infernal
Little colonel curly head, curly head
We salute you! Little Colonel
In your uniform so shiny and bright
You're so cute, you Little Colonel
You have won the heart of ev'ry soldier in sight
You start each battle but we take your part
Though you're born a Yankee
Your a rebel deep down in your heart
Go to sleep now, Little Colonel
Farewell to arms for tonight

Love's Young Dream
Lyrics/Music Mackridge.
Oh! the days are gone when beauty bright
My heart's chain wove
When my dream of life from morn 'till night
Was love, still love
New hope may bloom and days may come
Of milder, calmer beam
But there's nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream
Oh! there's nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream

Be Optimistic
Lyrics/Music W.Bullock/H.Spina
Be optimistic!
Don't you be a grumpy
When the road gets bumpy
Just smile
(Smile and be happy!)
Your troubles can't be
As bad as all that
When you're sad as all that
No one loves you
Be optimistic!
Don't you be a mourner
Brighten up that corner
And smile
Don't wear a long face
It's never in style
Be optimistic
And smile!

How Can I Thank You
Lyrics/Music W.Bullock/H.Spina
How can I thank you, how do I start
The words are somewhere, around my heart
If I could say in a word or two
How much it means to be loved by you
Then I could thank you, for all you've done
But I don't know what to do
What can you say when a dream comes true
How can I ever thank you
40.If All the World Were Paper

Little Miss Broadway (1938)
If All the World Were Paper
Lyrics/Music W.Bullock/H.Spina
(Shirley sings to the guy in the car)
If all the world were paper
And all the seas were ink
I'd write a great big note to you
And tell you what I think
I'd say I love you dearly
In letters three miles high
And sign it yours sincerely
Cross my heart and hope to die
If all the skies were diamonds
In golden skies above
They wouldn't be worth that
Without your love
I'd like to write I love you
So big that you would blink
If all the world were paper
Yes and all the seas were ink

(George Murphy)
Little Miss Broadway
Is going to town
That toast of all Broadway
Up town and down
We met them all
With a smile for a crown
For two little feet
On that fabulous street
Oh the talk of the town
Everyone of them proud
Oh, Little Miss Broadway
Up on her toes
With music and laughter
Wherever she goes
Everyone loves her
And everyone knows
She captured Manhatten
From Harlem to Statten
And thousands of folk
Through Miss Broadway
(Shirley)
I'm here and you're here
And thousands more here
But where is Broadway
You're here and I'm here
We're marching down here
Oh where is Broadway
(George Murphy)
Broadway is not what it used to be
We need a new steet
A just for you street
And just for fun
I'll show you how its done
I'll build a Broadway for you ---
We'll trade the old for the new ---
I'll make you famous
In old Times Square ---
I'll have your name in neon shining there
You'll be their favourite child ---
We'll have the crowds going wild ---
I'll build a dream street
Where wishes come true
I'll build a Broadway for you

Swing Me An Old Fashioned Song
Lyrics/Music W.Bullock/H.Spina
First of all you start this way
Back and forth that's the way
And now that you've got yourself swinging
Do the same thing with your singing
------
Swing me an old fashioned song
Down by the old mail stream
Da da de da da
Swing me an old fashioned song
Old fashioned song
Croon me an old fashioned tune
Da de da de da
In the evening by the moonlight
You can hear those darkies singing
Oh Oh, croon me an old fashioned tune
Just keep it soft and sweet
With rhythm from the start
But keep that old time beat
The beat that's, straight from the heart
Swing me an old fashioned song
I wanted to say to the fields Maggie
That's it, Its just an old fashioned song
Dear old girls around us sing about you
Roll be like a roll around
Won't you try it
Oh my darling, Oh my darling, darling
Croon me an old fashioned tune
Won't you swing just an old fashioned song
Ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland a'fore Ye
That how to swing, an old fashioned song
Now sing and you'll be happy all day long
Sing an old fashioned song

Thank You For The Use Of The Hall
Lyrics/Music W.Bullock/H.Spina
Your honor I lay my case before you
With the show, you're invited now to see with me
It's a wow and I hope that you'll agree with me
Their business, Show business
Just comes to no business without backing

All they need is a chance
A chance to smile, to laugh, to sing to dance
And that is that, and that is all
So, thank you for the use of the hall

We Should Be Together
Lyrics/Music W.Bullock/H.Spina
We should be together

Like a door and doorknob
Like the hat on your knob
Like butler gold with doorbell
Keyhole with key
I think we'll get by
If you'll stick with me
We should be together
Like the frame and picture
Like shoes and stockings
Like the clocks tick tockings
Like captain told like high and low
Shop and go honey
Your a perfect lady
Your a regular guy
We should be together, you and I
Your a cup of coffee
Your a peachy pie
We should be together, you and I

When You Were Sweet Sixteen
Lyrics/Music Thornton
I loved you as I've never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green (the village green)
Come to me ere my dream of love is o'er
I loved you as I..(aww that's terrible *complaints*...)
(Man)
Just a moment now, I was standing right here, someone was a
little bit sour...
(Shirley)
It was you!
(Man)
What? Well, what do you know about music? (mock laughter)
Well of all the impertinence...
(Shirley)
You were off-key, that part goes like this
'I loved you as I loved you, when you were sweet...'
(Man)
That's just the way I did it..
(Man)
I did!
(Shirley)
Let's try it again
(Man)
All right you take it

I loved you as I loved you, when you were...

Sweet...when you were sweet...sixteen

Knocked 'Em In the Old Kent Road (Wot' Cher!)
Words/Music Albert Chevalier/Charles Ingle
Last week down our alley came a toff
Nice old geezer with a nasty cough
Sees my missus, takes his topper off
In a very gentlemanly way
Wot cher! all the neighbors cried
Who yer gonna meet, Bill
Have yer bought the street, Bill?
Laugh! I thought I should've died
Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road
Ev'ry evenin' at the stroke of five
Me and the missus takes a little drive
You'd say, Wonderful they're still alive
If you saw that little donkey go
When we starts the blessed donkey stops
He won't move, so out I quickly lops
Pals start whackin' him, when down he drops
Someone says he wasn't made to go
Wot cher! all the neighbors cried
Who yer gonna meet, Bill
Have yer bought the street, Bill?
Laugh! I thought I should've died
Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road
47.The Dream
Temple Shirley
Little Princess (1939)
The Dream
Lyrics/Music P.D.
Your highness please forgive me
But something has gone amiss
There is an angry woman outside
To report a stolen kiss
Tell her she must go away
Come around some other day
I have told her, but she won't
You must see her, if you don't
She'll scream her head off
Tell her to hush
She won't be hushed
Then tell her to shush
I'm afraid she won't be shushed
I won't be shushed, I won't be hushed
I know my rights, I know the law
And I know also what I saw
What did you see
I saw him
You saw who, I mean whom
I saw that lad steal a kiss
From that shameless little miss
Don't be fooled by all their shyness
Their a wicked pair your highness
There's a law I understand
Against kissing in this land
There is a law that reads like this
No one is to steal a kiss
Ah but Princess I've a feeling
This is not a case of stealing
Silence fool, I know the law
What I say I saw I saw
What I saw
She's on a see-saw
I saw you saw he saw she saw
On a see saw on a see saw
I saw you saw he saw she saw
What she tells us may be true
And if it is what can we do
If you ask me we should listen
To the lad who did the kissin'
I object t'would not be wise
He would only tell you lies
Let him speak, come lad this way
Now then what have you to say
Please your highness, I confess
When I saw such loveliness
It was too much to resist
I just thought she should be kissed
So I kissed her, kissed her twice
It was very very nice
So he kissed her, kissed her twice
It was very very nice
There you see, he broke the law
What I say I saw I saw
Please don't start all that again
But he stole a kiss that's plain
Yes it looks as if its true
And I'll have to punish you
No please, let me say a word
It is not the way you heard
Please, he did not steal a kiss
I gave it to him, just like this
There you see, I had a feeling
This was not a case of stealing
I'm not sure, its not quite plain
Could I see that kiss again
You were right, I have a feeling
This was not a case of stealing
Right the law has been abused
This lad has falsely been accused
He is hers and she is his'n
That old witch should go to prison
Your a very wicked woman
Princess I am only human
Listen to the old grand mommy
Your a nasty peeping tommy
Banish her from here forever
Never show your face here never
Banish her from here forever
Never show your face here never
What I say I saw I saw
I know my rights, I know the law
Come, and sit beside me here
Your kiss has made things very clear
Thank you Princess
Don't thank me
It was that kiss that set you free
Now we're through with this arrangement
Let us have some entertainment
Bring the dancers bring the singers
Bring the good old welting ringers
------
The new ballerina, she pleases you
She's a very good dancer
She looks familiar too!

But Definitely
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon and Harry Revel
Bong! This is station L-O-V-E
Bong! I'm cupid's assistant
Please listen to me
My boss Mister Cupid told me
To make hearts loop the loop
Never ever to sing about
The Good Ship Lollipop
Or Animal Crackers In My Soup
So if the one you idolize is near you
A song of love will help you find the way
Cupid says a welling heart will hear you
If you move a little closer. Thank you
Press his little hand. That's fine
Now look into his eyes and say
------
You are an angel without any wings
A vision so lovely to see
Are you the reason my happy heart sings?
But definitely
Will I forever be faithful to you
You're mine and you always must be
Do I adore you? You know that I do
But definitely So definitely
You are the moon, the stars, the sun
You're every beat of my heart.... so supreme
But if it all turns out to be
Only a beautiful dream
Let's keep on dreaming
Millions or billions can't equal your worth
Your love is a blessing to me
Are you an armful of heaven here on earth?
You are? But definitely
------
When you are crooning the blue of the day
And whistling the gold of the dawn. Bing, bing!
Are you my fav'rite? You know that you are
But definitely Voo-voo-voo-voo-voom!
Will I forever.... *whistle*
You always must be. Bee-bee-bee-beep!
Do I adore you? You know that I do
But definitely So definitely
You are the moon, the stars, the sun,
You're every beat of my heart, so supreme
But if it all turns out to be
Only a beautiful dream
Let's keep on dreaming
Millions or billions can't equal your worth
Your love is a blessing to me
Are you an armful of heaven here on earth?
You are? *whistle* But definitely
The name of this song ain't Dinah
The name of this song ain't Dinah
The name of this song ain't Dinah
It's but definitely. Hah!

Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon/Harry Revel
When I hear the blast of a bugle
I know I soon will see a military man
When I hear the sound of a drum: Rum-tummy-tum-tum
I know I soon will see a military man
I love a military man
I love a military man
I love a military nurse
My, but it's so grand to see a military man
Ev'ry boy should want to be a military man
What a treat to marching feet the roll of a drum
What a treat to marching feet is the Rum-tum...
Rummy-tum-tum-tum
In a crowd he looks so proud, a military man
In his uniform so spic and span
Hearts are filled with joy and they're thrilled with joy
Whenever a march is played
For ev'rybody loves to see
A soldier parade
------
(Additional words not in the film)
It's about to start
I hear the Rum-tum-tum, the fife and drum
And here they come
What a pretty sight to see!
Joy is in your heart
You've got to swell with pride as side by side
So dignified
Members of the infantry!
Raise your voices high
And give a rousing cheer
When they appear
They know no fear
They're as brave as can be
Manly spirits based upon
The slogan: We must carry on!
Company attention, forward march!
My, but it's so grand to see a military man
Ev'ry boy should want to be a military man
What a treat to marching feet the roll of a drum
What a treat to marching feet is the Rum-tum...
Rummy-tum-tum-tum
In a crowd he looks so proud, a military man
In his uniform so spic and span
Hearts are filled with joy and they're thrilled with joy
Whenever a march is played
For ev'rybody loves to see
A soldier parade

Oh My Goodness
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon and Harry Revel
Oh me, oh my
I'm so sad that I could cry
With a very good reason why
I've no one to be gay with
That's why I wear a frown
No children I can play with
London bridge is falling down
My fair lady
I wanna make mud pies
In fact I'd like to be a mess
I wanna make mud pies
I know that I'd find happiness
If I got jam on my fingers
Chocolate on my face
And molasses all over my dress
You're the only friends I've ever had
But one minute you're good
And the very next minute you're bad!
At times I ought to hate you
You make me feel so blue
But honest I can't hate you
When you smile at me the way you do
Oh, my goodness!
Sometimes I want to leave you
You tell such awful lies
But I could never leave you
When I look into those great big eyes
Oh, my goodness!
I love you, do you love me
Honey, if you don't, why don'tcha
Honey, if you won't, why won'tcha
Am I gonna have trouble with you?
I really ought to scold you
You'll have me old and grey
But when it's time to scold you
I hold you in my arms and say
Oh, my. Oh, my...
Oh, my goodness!
Zometimes I ought to hashe you
You make me veel zo blue
But onest I can't hashe you
When you zmile at me, my lovely poupchen
Ach, mein gootness!
You are my ev'ry ting-a-vitch
You're like a day in spring-a-vitch
And you make my heart sing-a-vitch
Looky-looky-looksky, here comes trotsky
Oh, chah chornya
I lovee you, do you lovee me
Maya-kaya-kow-kow see see
Eenie-meenie mo-guss meenzie
Am I gonna have ta-louble with you?
Honey child, I really ought to scold ya
You'll have your mammy old and grey
Pickaninny, when it's time ta scold ya
I just hold ya in my lovin' arms and say
Oh, my-- heidi, heidi, heidi, hi!

Peck's Theme Song
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon and Harry Revel
Wash your necks with a cake of Peck's
The soap that can't be beat
It's best by far so try a bar
And give your skin a treat
It will give old Mister Germ
A wild and merry chase
So join our club and Peck's will scrub
That frown right off your face
Though your eyes are full of bubbles
And through darkness you must grope
Please remember this
Where there's life there's soap!
53.When I'm With You

When I'm With You
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon/Harry Revel
(Shirley Temple)
An ordinary day
Becomes a holiday
When I'm with you
I have lots of toys
But I don't want to play
When I'm with you
Oh daddy how I miss you
Your busy all your life
I long to hug and kiss you
Marry me and let me be your wife
Every word I hear
Sounds like a lullaby
When I'm with you
Even funny spinach
Tastes like pumpkin pie
When I'm with you - ooh ooh
In every dream I caress you
And every night I pray the Lord will bless you
The worlds a nursery rhyme Daddy dear
When I'm with you
(Alice Faye)
Every street I walk on
Becomes a lover's lane
When I'm with you
I can see the sun
Though we're out in the rain
When I'm with you
To lose you would be tragic
Here is my heart unfurled
You have that certain magic
You're the seven wonders of the world
Snow in on the ground
But the leaves are on the tree's
When I'm with you
Flower's sing a love song
There's music in the breeze
When I'm with you, mmm mmm
Please let me make this confession
You are my magnificent obsession
The world is all in rhyme
Lovely one when I'm with you

You Gotta Eat Your Spinach, Baby
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon/Harry Revel
(Jack Haley)
I want your cheeks to be rosey
Your lips like the color of wine
Darling the way that people will say that
My but you're looking so fine
OOOOOOOOh
(Alice Faye)
I want you strong as Apollo
A sturdy and masculine sheek
Darling the way that people will say that
My What a gorgeous physique
If you want to be like I want you to be
follow this carefully:
You've gotta eat your spinach baby
That's the proper thing to do
It'll keep you kind of healthy too
And what it did for Popeye it'll do for you
You've gotta eat your spinach baby
It'll give you lots of TNT
For whenever you're caressing me
Cause you'll need lots of vitamins from A-Z
Please take my advice
Kissing is dangerous doctors all agree
(Jack Haley)
I'll take your advice
But don't ever kiss anybody but me
(Alice Faye)
You've gotta eat your spinach baby
If you do you can't go wrong
'Cause it's gonna make you nice and strong
And the stronger you are the longer you'll live
And the longer I'll have to love you
(Shirley Temple)
Pardon me did I hear you say Spinach - Spinach
I represent all the kids of the nation
Who sent me to see you about it
I bring a message from the kids of the nation
To tell you we can do without it
Kindly listen to me
I'm not alone in my plea
There are dozens and dozens and dozens of us
Nephews and nieces and cousins of us
They want me to say - Hallelujah Hallelujah
No Spinach, take away that awful greenery
No Spinach, give us lots of jelly beanery
We positively refuse to budge
We'd like lollipops, we like fudge
But no Spinach Hosanna
You've got to eat your Spinach baby
No No No No, I'm singing to you
No No No No Hallelujah
Spinach stay away from my door
We'll tell the bogey man
The big big bad bad bogey bogey man
Oh that's just a bluff
You know we don't believe that stuff
You gotta eat your Spinach baby
Children have to do as they are told
Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
Children shouldn't be so very bold
Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
Or you'll grow up to be a meanie when your old
Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
I've want to tell all the kids of the nation
Who sent me to see you about it
Children have to do as they are told
Children shouldn't be so very bold
Or you will be a meanie when you're old
So okay - Spinach
55.Alone With You
Temple Shirley
(Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm 1938)
Alone With You
Lyrics/Music S.Mitchell/L.Pollack
(Sung by Phillis Brooks and Jack Haley)
I've always known that three's a crowd
Only two may dance
Only to romance
So when I see you in a crowd
I'm not satisfied
Till I reach your side
Alone with you
I don't know the meaning of time
Alone with you
I'm yours without reason or rhyme
I'd be content to be sent to an island in the sea
If I had you with me
How lucky I would be
Alone with you
I have everything that I need
I always knew
I'd follow wherever you lead
So ring the bells in the steeple
Tell all the people
That we are one, and I've begun
To live in the heaven alone with you
56.An Old Straw Hat
Temple Shirley
(Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm 1938)
An Old Straw Hat
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon and Harry Revel
What is all this dizzy busy hustling for
People running helter-skelter on their way
What is all this hazy crazy bustling for
No time to notice it's a sunny day
Why don't you take a vacation
Looks like you've got to have relaxation
Aw, come on, forget your troubles for a while
Why don't you try to feel like I do?
If I had one wish to make
This is the wish I would choose
I'd want an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes
Just let me roam around
Laughing at big city blues
With an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes
Howdy Mister Brown!
Ho-hum!
Goin' fishin'? Hope you get a bite!
Howdy Mister Jones!
Ho-hum!
How's about a hay ride Saturday night?
Sing hi-ho the merri-o!
What've you got, what've you got to lose
Get an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes
57.Come And Get Your Happiness
Temple Shirley
(Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm 1938)
Come And Get Your Happiness
Lyrics/Music Yellen/Pokrass
Why are grown up peoples faces
Wrinkled like a lot of prunes
Money money that's what chases them
Around like crazy loon's
I think they make a big mistake
Wealth and happiness that counts
Are free to all in large amounts
There's millions worth of golden sunbeams
That everybody can possess
All Gods children got success
Come and get your happiness
There's billions worth of silver moonbeams
Enough for everyone I guess
What's a million more or less
Come and get your happiness
Among the wildwood of your happy childhood
Where you were Jill's and Jack
In raggy britches there's a lot of riches
On which you don't pay any income tax
So get under their blue heaven
Away from trouble and distress
Just find Mother Nature's address
And come and get your happiness
58.Crackly Grain Flakes
Temple Shirley
(Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm 1938)
Crackly Grain Flakes
Lyrics/Music L.Pollack
My dear Radio Audience
Now I shall do
Some of the songs
I've had the pleasure
Of introducing to you
It was not so very long ago
When you heard this little ditty
On your ra-di-o
On The Good Ship Lollipop
It's a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon bons play
On the sunny beach of peppermint bay
And do you remember?
Animal Crackers in my soup
Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop
Gosh oh gee but I have fun
Swallowing animals one by one
And I never ever will
Forget my grandest thrill
The very first time that I sang
An Ordinary day
Becomes a holiday
When I'm with you, hmm hmm
I have lots of toys
But I don't want to play
Yes and I'll never forget it
I sat in my Daddy's lap and whispered
Oh Daddy how I miss you
Your busy all your life
I love to hug and kiss you
Marry me and let me be your wife
Ahhhh but it's great to reminisce
When I sang to my little Dutch Dolly
Just Like this
Sometimes I ought to hasche (hate) you
You make me feel so vlue (blue)
But honest I can't hate you
When you smile at me my lovely poopjan
Auckks mine goodness
*Tick Tick Tick*
The clock is ticking the hours away
And so my radio audience
The time has come, for me to say
Goodnight my friends
The tired old moon is descending
Goodnight my friends
My moment with you now is ending
*Whistles*
And So I must leave you
With kindest regards from Rebecca and Crackly Grain Flakes
The Grain Flakes that makes your tummy say Yum Yum Yummy
I want all my little friends to close their eyes and dream
For in the morning
It's Crackly Grain Flakes with sugar and cream
Eat it with a smile and life will be worth while
And now in conclusion
Please join me in singing my theme
Goodnight my friends
Sleep tight my friends
God bless you pleasant dreams
Nightie night!
59.Happy Ending
What do we all read a story book for
What do we look for, when it is through?
What does every Cinderella sigh for
What does she try for, till dreams come true?
Happy ending, with all our troubles behind
Happy ending, that's what we're trying to find!
Why didn't Cinderella waver? What made her braver?
She knew the Prince would come and save her!
Happy ending, the best of wonderful times
Always ending, just like in nursery rhymes!
May each thing you pray for bring you
Joy and laughter, ever after
Happy ending to you all!
Happy ending, with all our troubles behind
Happy ending, that's what we're trying to find!
Why didn't Cinderella waver? What made her braver?
She knew the Prince would come and save her!
Happy ending, the best of wonderful times
Always ending, just like in nursery rhymes!
May each thing you pray for bring you
Joy and laughter, ever after
Happy ending to you all!
60.The Toy Trumpet
Temple Shirley
(Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm 1938)
The Toy Trumpet
Lyrics Sidney Mitchell and Lew Pollack
Have you heard
Have you heard
There's a new tooter in
With the Tin pan parade
Pass the word
Pass the word
'Cause it's some toy trumpet brigade
Come along
Come along
If you're soon enough
You'll hear him do his stuff
Hurry up
Hurry up
They will soon be here
They're getting nearer
Here they come
Here they come
Hear the hum of the drum
Of the Tin pan parade
Better run
Better run
'Cause it's some toy trumpet brigade
Here they are, there's the leader
Passing by , aint he grand
He's the star, he's the leader of the band
There he goes with his trumpet
Tootin' high, tootin' low
When he blows he's a rootin', tootin' dandy
Tootin' low
Tootin' high
He's a new tooter in
With the Tin pan parade
There they go
Passing by
That was some toy trumpet brigade

Goodnight My Love
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon/Harry Revel
Goodnight my love
Your Mommy is kneeling beside you
Goodnight my Love
To dreamland the Sandman will guide you
Come now you sleepy head
Close your eyes, go to bed
My precious sleepyhead
You mustn't play peek-a-boo
Goodnight my love
Your little Dutch dolly is yawning
Goodnight my love
Your teddy bear's called it a day
Your dog is fast asleep, my but he's smart
Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love
God bless you, pleasant dreams sweetheart
64.That's What I Want For Christmas

Stowaway (1936)
That's What I Want For Christmas
Lyrics/Music Irving Caesar/Gerald Marks
Make my mommy's life a song
Keep my daddy safe and strong
Let me have them all year long
That's what I want for Christmas
Let my dolls be made of rags
Fireman hats of paper bags
Just write love on the greeting tag
That's what I want for Christmas
Its a happy holiday
Every heart is light 'n gay
For Santa Claus you're kind I'm sure
To young and all the rich and poor
Won't you please for goodness sake
Do away with tummy ache
Give out lots of lucky breaks
That's what I want for Christmas
Yes, that's what I want for Christmas
I don't want electric trains
Twenty-dollar aeroplanes
Free our friends from aches and pains
That's what I want for Christmas
I like pretty shoes to wear
But if I could give a pair
To poor little children everywhere
That's what I want for Christmas
When the Reindeer pass my house
I was quiet as a mouse
But in my dreams I seem to see
Marching round the Christmas tree
Animals that never bite
Never giving any fright
Soldier boys who never fight
That's what I want for Christmas
Yes, that's what I want for Christmas
65.You Gotta S-M-I-L-E To Be H-A-P-P-Y

Stowaway (1936)
You Gotta S-M-I-L-E To Be H-A-P-P-Y
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon and Harry Revel
If something may upset you
Don't ever let it get you down
Don't wear a frown
If fortune should forsake you
Don't ever let it make you sigh
Keep shooting high.
Be a crooner, not a groaner, never kick
Here's a spelling lesson that will do the trick
You've got to S-M-I-L-E
To be H-A-Double-P-Y
Keep it in mind when you're blue
It's easy to spell and just as easy to do
You gotta S-M-I-L-E
It's gonna help considerably.
Just keep your chin up and give it a try
And you'll find silver lined clouds in the sky
You've gotta S-M-I-L-E
To be H-A-Double-P-Y
Ladies and gentlemen, just for fun
I'd like to sing this song again
The way it would be done, by...
Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, and last but not least
That swingable pair: Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire
You've gotta S-M-I-L-E, Oh like the birdies,
Birdies birdies up in the trees..
Pretty flowers, April showers, my Mammy
Life is divine at a quarter to nine
You've simply gotta S-M-I-L-E
'Cos Potatoes are cheaper you see
I won't spend a nickel
I won't spend a sou
I just want to spend one hour with you
(kiss)(kiss)(kiss) S-M-I-L-E
Parkyakarkus with Ida, Mammy!

I'll Teach You A Waltz (Teaching McFaddon to Waltz
Lyrics/Music M.F.Carrey
Paddy O'Casey he wanted to waltz
But his feet were not gated that way
So we thought up a lesson
and payed his case
And said he was willing to pay
One two three, balance like me
You're quite a dandy
But you have your faults
While your right foot is lazy
Your left foot is crazy
But don't be uneasy
I'll teach you to waltz
One two three, balance like me
You're quite a dandy
But you have your faults
While your right foot is lazy
Your left foot is crazy
But don't be uneasy
I'll teach you to waltz

Unrecorded (1935)
Little Shirley Temple
Lyrics & Music H.Pincus, H.Stride, B.Maltin
(A very rare piece of music that was never recorded as far as is
known, and does not have a regular cover)
Verse 1
Go to sleep my baby
Close your pretty eyes
I will sing, my baby
Mother's lullaby
Chorus
Little Shirley Temple
Sweet as sugar pie
Roguish little dimple
Twinkle in her eye
With her childish laughter
Like an angel's smile
Sunshine that comes after
It has rained awhile
Put your rocking horse
And your dolls away
There's the chime
And it is time to go to bed
Sandman's on his way
Can't you hear him say
Pleasant dreams will keep
While you're asleep
You little sleepy head
Little Shirley Temple
Bright as stars that shine
That is why I love her
For she's just as sweet as mine
Verse 2
Now the sun is sinking
Shadows start to creep
Stars above are winking
Baby go to sleep
68.Fifth Avenue
Temple Shirley
Young People (1940)
Fifth Avenue
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon/Harry Warren
We've been to London's Piccadilly
When it was time for tea
We walked along the Champs Elysee
The pride of gay Paree
You can rave about your Broadway and Times Square
Come on along and let me show you the grandest thoroughfare
Hop a bus, take a car
Hail a cab and there you are
On Fifth Avenue (old Fifth Avenue)
Ev'ry Joe, ev'ry Jane
Walks along that dreamer's lane
On Fifth Avenue (that's Fifth Avenue)
Where they stop, window shop, and their hopes are so high
Pricing rings, pretty things that they can't afford to buy
But they smile, they don't care
Ev'ryone's a millionaire
When you're strolling on Fifth Avenue
Easter bonnets bright and gay
New York's finest on Saint Patrick's Day
Flags are flying, see them wave
Soldiers marching in mem'ry of the brave
There are shouts, there are cheers
Mingled with a mother's tears
On Fifth Avenue (old Fifth Avenue)
All the world's on parade
Where the fashions are made
On Fifth Avenue (that's Fifth Avenue)
Fancy shops, small cafes, a cathedral and then
Central Park, Cartier's, and a Woolworth's five and ten
What a street, what a thrill
Say, you haven't lived until
You've been strolling on Fifth Avenue
You've been strolling on Fifth Avenue
69.I Wouldn't take a Million
Temple Shirley
Young People (1940)
I Wouldn't take a Million
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon/Harry Warren
I don't care for treasures
I don't ask for fame
Or the fortunes others may possess
You're my only treasure
You're my claim to fame
My career is here in your caress
(Jack Oakie)
I wouldn't take a million for a girl like you
I wouldn't take a million for the things you do
If they offered me a mansion in the finest part of town
If you're not in that mansion, then I would turn it down
I wouldn't take a million for the twinkle in your eyes
I'd rather win a smile from you than win the Nobel Prize
If I were just a pauper and I didn't have a sou
I still would have a million if I just had you
(Shirley)
I wouldn't take a million for a Mom and Dad like you
I wouldn't take a million for the little things you do
If they offered me a mansion in the finest part of town
If you're not in that mansion, then I would turn it down
I wouldn't take a million for the moments we have known
I'd rather sit upon your knee than on a royal throne
If I could rub Aladdin's lamp to make a wish come true
I'd wish that ev'ry kid could have a Mom and Dad like you
70.Tra-La La La
Temple Shirley
Young People (1940)
Tra-La La La
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon/Harry Warren
Here's a little tune that always helps you when you're blue
Just a pretty little ditty, and you ought to learn it, too
It will cheer you up whenever skies above are gray
When things go wrong
Its just the song
To chase your cares away
Away, away, and ev'rything will be okay
Tra-la-la-la, what a merry world we live in
Tra-la-la-la, all of it is yours and mine
So wear a smile, sing a little while it's raining
And through the clouds, ev'ry little star will shine
Tra-la-la-la, what's a little bit of trouble?
You live and learn things are gonna turn out fine
Just feel that way
And ev'ry little day
Will seem like spring
If you'll just sing
Tra-la, tra-la-la-la-la
71.Young People
Temple Shirley
Young People (1940)
Young People
Lyrics/Music Mack Gordon/Harry Warren
We're not little babies anymore, No!
We don't play with dollies on the floor, Nah!
We know how to act our age
We have passed the infant stage
That's why we are in a rage
We're not little babies anymore, More
We think children are an awful bore, Bore
You don't realize the fact that we are growing up
And we're not little babies anymore
We're young people, we are young people
Ready to have our fling
We're not old, yet, we're just in-between
We're nine and we're ten, well, that's almost sixteen
We're young ladies and we're their boyfriends
And love is a wonderful thing
Please don't call me sonny, it makes me blush
Stop that baby talk, that umsey-wumsey mush
The days of bibs and teddy bears and kiddie cars are gone
For time ta-ta-ta-ta marches on
Life's a stage and we are in the show
We know ev'rything there is to know.
When we're in the parlor and the lights are low
Don't bribe us with a nickel, we'll refuse to go
Sisters, better tell your romantic gents
We have a minimum number charge of fifty cents
We hate to hear a fairy tale before we go to bed
We'd rather have you telling us what Walter Winchell said
We know our table manners, when to use a knife and fork
And we know that the Stork is a nightclub in New York
