'Twas The Night Before Christmas lyrics - Perry Como
'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse!
The stockings all hung
by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there!
The children were nestled
all safe in their beds,
while visions of sugarplums
danced in their heads!
And Mom in her kerchief
and I in my cap,
had just settled down
for a long winter's nap!
When out on the lawn
there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed
to see what was the matter!
Away to the window
I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutters
and threw up the sash!
The moon on the breast
of the new fallen snow,
gave the lustre of midday
to object below!
When what to my wandering eyes
should appear,
but a miniature sleigh
and eight tiny reindeer!
With a little ol' driver
so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment
it must be St. Nick!
More rapid than eagles
his courses they came,
as he whistled and shouted
and called them by name:
"Now Dasher,
now Dancer,
now Prancer,
now Vixen,
on Comet,
on Cupid,
on Doner
an' Blitzen!"
To the top of the porch,
to the top of the wall,
now dash-away, dash-away,
dash-away all!
As dry leaves
before the wild hurricane fly,
when they meet with an obstacle
mount to the sky.
So, up to the housetop
the courses they flew,
with a sleigh full of toys
and St. Nicholas too!
And then in a twinkling
I heard on the roof,
the prancing and pawing
of each little hoof!
As I drew in my head
and was turning around,
down the chimney St. Nicholas
came with a bound!
He was dressed all in fur
from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished
with ashes and soot!
A bundle of toys
he had flung on his back,
and he looked like a peddler
just opening his pack!
His eyes how they twinkled,
his dimples how merry,
his cheeks were like roses,
his nose like a cherry!
His drawl little mouth
was drawn up like a bow,
and the beard of his chin
was a white as the snow!
The stump of his pipe
he held tight in his teeth,
and the smoke it encircled his head
like a wreath!
He had a broad face
and a round little belly,
that shook when he laughed
like a bowl full of jelly!
He was chubby and plump,
a right jolly old elf,
I laughed when I saw him
in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye
and a twist of his head,
soon gave me to know
I had nothing to dread!
He spoke not a word
but went straight to his work,
and filled all the stockings,
then turned with a jerk!
An' laying a finger
along side his nose,
an' giving a nod,
up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave a whistle,
an' away they all flew
like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim
as he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to All,
and to All a Goodnight!"
when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse!
The stockings all hung
by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there!
The children were nestled
all safe in their beds,
while visions of sugarplums
danced in their heads!
And Mom in her kerchief
and I in my cap,

A Dreamer's Holiday lyrics - Perry Como
Climb aboard a butterfly and take off in the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by and do the things you please,
In the land where dollar bills are falling off the trees,
On a dreamer's hol-i-day.
Ev'ry day for breakfast, there's a dish of scrambled stars,
And for luncheon, you'll be munchin' rainbow candy bars;
You'll be livin' a-la-mode on Jupiter and Mars
On a dreamer's hol-i-day.
Make it a long vacation; time there is plenty of.
You need no res-er-va-tion -- just bring the one you love.
Help yourself to happiness and sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes and concentrate and dream for all you're worth;
You will feel ter-rif-ic when you get back down to earth
From a dreamer's holiday.
Make it a long vacation; time there is plenty of.
You need no res-er-va-tion -- just bring the one you love.
[Repeat Final Verse]

Because, you come to me,
with naught save love,
and hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,

Black Moonlight lyrics - Perry Como
Lost in the shuffle, I've drifted an' strayed
Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides!
What am I doing up here in a daze
As I gaze at the cold river bed?
Why do I ask myself, "Shall I go back
when I seem to be going ahead?"
To black moonlight!
Where everything reflects your colour
Darkness that is endless.
nights that leave me friendless... blue!
Black moonlight!
You make the lights of Harlem duller
Just like me you're faded, jaded and degraded... too!
Why must you send...
ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing...
like shadows of love that are gone?
Where will it end?
Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight
and darken each promise of dawn?
Black moonlight!
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black, black moonlight!
Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides!
What am I doing up here in a daze
As I gaze at the cold river bed?
Why do I ask myself, "Shall I go back
when I seem to be going ahead?"
To black moonlight!
Where everything reflects your colour
Darkness that is endless.
nights that leave me friendless... blue!
Black moonlight!
You make the lights of Harlem duller
Just like me you're faded, jaded and degraded... too!
Why must you send...
ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing...
like shadows of love that are gone?
Where will it end?
Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight
and darken each promise of dawn?
Black moonlight!
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black, black moonlight!
Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics - Perry Como
(originally by Simon and Garfunkel)
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all,
I'm at your side,
Oh! When times get rough,
And friends just can't be found...
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
When you're down an' out, when you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you,
I'll take your part,
Oh! When darkness comes,
And pain is all around...
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine,
Oh! When you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind...
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all,
I'm at your side,
Oh! When times get rough,
And friends just can't be found...
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
When you're down an' out, when you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you,
I'll take your part,
Oh! When darkness comes,
And pain is all around...
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine,
Oh! When you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind...
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!
C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S lyrics - Perry
When I was but a youngster
Christmas meant one thing,
that I'd be getting lots of toys that day
I learned a whole lot different
when Mother sat me down
and taught me to spell 'Christmas' this way:
'C' is for the Christ child, born upon this day
'H' for herald angels in the night
'R' means our Redeemer
'I' means Israel
'S' is for the star that shone so bright
'T' is for three wise men, they who travelled far
'M' is for the manger where He lay
'A' 's for all He stands for
'S' means Shepard's came
And that's why there's a Christmas day!
And that's why there's a Christmas day!
Christmas meant one thing,
that I'd be getting lots of toys that day
I learned a whole lot different
when Mother sat me down
and taught me to spell 'Christmas' this way:
'C' is for the Christ child, born upon this day
'H' for herald angels in the night
'R' means our Redeemer
'I' means Israel
'S' is for the star that shone so bright
'T' is for three wise men, they who travelled far
'M' is for the manger where He lay
'A' 's for all He stands for
'S' means Shepard's came
And that's why there's a Christmas day!
And that's why there's a Christmas day!
Frosty The Snowman lyrics - Perry Como
Frosty the snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the snowman,
Is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in
That old silk they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around!
Oh, frosty, the snowman,
Was alive as he could be;
And the children say
He could laugh and play,
Just the same as you and me.
Frosty, clumsy as he can be
See him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
With a happy song!
Frosty the snowman,
Knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "let's run, and we'll have some fun,
Now, before I melt away."
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Runnin' here and there,
All around the square,
Sayin', "catch me if you can."
He led them down the streets of town,
Right to the traffic cop...
And only paused a moment,
When he heard him holler, "stop!"
Hmm, frosty the snowman,
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump...
Look at frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump...
Over the hills of snow!
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the snowman,
Is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in
That old silk they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around!
Oh, frosty, the snowman,
Was alive as he could be;
And the children say
He could laugh and play,
Just the same as you and me.
Frosty, clumsy as he can be
See him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
With a happy song!
Frosty the snowman,
Knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "let's run, and we'll have some fun,
Now, before I melt away."
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Runnin' here and there,
All around the square,
Sayin', "catch me if you can."
He led them down the streets of town,
Right to the traffic cop...
And only paused a moment,
When he heard him holler, "stop!"
Hmm, frosty the snowman,
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump...
Look at frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump...
Over the hills of snow!
Glendora lyrics - Perry Como
I'm in love with a dolly named, Glendora
She works in the window of a big department stor-a
Eyes of blue, hair like gold
Never been young, but she'll never get old
Oh, Glendora
I wanna see more of you
O' Glendora, O' Glendora
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you
She's so shy that I don't know how I found her
With three big body guards always workin' around her
One just nods, an' two just grins
An' three got a mouth full of safety pins
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you
(You, more of you)
(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you)
(More of you)
[Instrumental Interlude]
I stand left an' I stand right
Outta my head 'cause I'm outta sight
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you
Late last night at the store they did some changin'
An' I stood watchin' when they started re-arrangin'
She lost her wig, she lost her arms
An' when they got through she lost all of her charms
O' Glendora, what did they do to you
(What they do, what they do, what they do)
(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, what did they do to you)
(What they do, what they do, what they do)
(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, what did they do to you)
(Do to you, oh, what did they do to you)
O' Glendora, what did they do to you
She works in the window of a big department stor-a
Eyes of blue, hair like gold
Never been young, but she'll never get old
Oh, Glendora
I wanna see more of you
O' Glendora, O' Glendora
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you
She's so shy that I don't know how I found her
With three big body guards always workin' around her
One just nods, an' two just grins
An' three got a mouth full of safety pins
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you
(You, more of you)
(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you)
(More of you)
[Instrumental Interlude]

(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, what did they do to you)
(Do to you, oh, what did they do to you)
O' Glendora, what did they do to you
Have I Stayed Away Too Long? lyrics - Perry Como
Have I stayed away too long?
Have I stayed away too long?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
The love light that shone so strong
Sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight, would that same light be shinin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'm just outside of town
I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
Stayed away too long?
Have I stayed away too long?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
The love light that shone so strong
Sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight, would that same light be shinin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'm just outside of town
I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
Stayed away too long?
Hoop-Dee-Doo lyrics - Perry Como
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
I hear a polka and my troubles are through
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-dee
This kind of music is like heaven to me
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo

Hand me down my soup and fish

When there's a trombone playin'
I get a thrill, I always will
When there's a concertina stretched about a mile
I always smile 'cause that's my style
When there's a fiddle in the middle
Oh, it really is a riddle how he plays a tune so sweet
Plays a tune so sweet that I could die
Lead me to the floor and hear me yell for more
'Cause I'm a hoop-dee-doin' kind of guy

Hoop-de-doin' it with all of our might
Rain may fall and snow may come
Nothin's gonna stop us from

Hush Little Darlin' lyrics - Perry Como
It's twilight on the prairie and the moon will soon be high
she'll be hurting every star up in the sky
we'll lope along to dreamland and we'll bid each care goodbye
while the wind blows through the sagebrush with a sigh!
So hush (So, hush!) little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here
let my shoulder be your pillow, you'll be safe as you can be
little darlin' you mean all the world to me
we'll always be together and I promise faithfully
that your dreams will all come true, just wait an' see
So hush (So, hush!) little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here
(we will always be together) and I promise faithfully
that your dreams will all come true, just you wait an' see
So hush, little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here...
she'll be hurting every star up in the sky
we'll lope along to dreamland and we'll bid each care goodbye

I Dream Of You lyrics - Perry Como
You're completely unaware, dear, that my heart is in your hand
So for love's sake won't you listen and try to understand?
I dream of you more than you dream I do
How can I prove to you this love is real?
You mean to me more than you mean to be
You just can't seem to see the way I feel
When I am close to you the world is far away
The words that fill my heart my lips can't seem to say
I want you so more than you'll ever know
More than you dream I do, I dream of you
I want you so more than you'll ever know
More than you dream I do, I dream of you
So for love's sake won't you listen and try to understand?
I dream of you more than you dream I do
How can I prove to you this love is real?
You mean to me more than you mean to be
You just can't seem to see the way I feel
When I am close to you the world is far away
The words that fill my heart my lips can't seem to say
I want you so more than you'll ever know
More than you dream I do, I dream of you
I want you so more than you'll ever know
More than you dream I do, I dream of you

I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now? lyrics - Perry Como
I wonder who's kissing her now?
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs an' telling lies?
I wonder who's buyin' the wine, for the lips that I used to call mine?
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing her now?
I wonder who's buying the wine, for lips that I used to call mine?
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing...
her now?
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs an' telling lies?
I wonder who's buyin' the wine, for the lips that I used to call mine?

I wonder who's buying the wine, for lips that I used to call mine?

I'm Confessin' That I Love You lyrics - Perry Como
I'm confessin' that I love you...
Tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you,
Honest I do, need you every moment!
In your eyes I read such strange things,
But your lips deny they're true...
Will your answer really change things,
Making me blue?
I'm afraid someday you'll leave me,
Say'n can't we still be friends?
If you go, you know you'll grieve me,
All in life on you depends...
Am I guessin' that you love me?
Dreamin' dreams of you in vain,
I'm confessin' that I love you,
Over again!

Say'n can't we still be friends?
If you go, you know you'll grieve me,
All in life on you depends...

Dreamin' dreams of you in vain,
I'm confessin' that I love you,
Over again!
Tell me, do you love me too?

Say'n can't we still be friends?
If you go, you know you'll grieve me,
All in life on you depends...

I'm Gonna Love That Gal lyrics - Perry Como
I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before

When she's in my arms again
Our dreams will all come true

We'll start our lives anew!

If lyrics - Perry Como
If they made me a king
I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything
I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night
Stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed
Yet, humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd
I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth
What would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you
[Instrumental Interlude]
If I ruled the night

What would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you
I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything

If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you
I'd hold you in my arms again the way I used to do

It's A Lovely Day Today lyrics - Perry Como
It's a lovely day today,
So whatever you've got to do,
You've got a lovely day to do it in
That's true!
And I hope whatever you've got to do,
It's somethin' that can be done by two,
For I'd really like to stay!
It's a lovely day today,
And whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doin' it
With you!
But if you've got somethin' that must be done
An' it can only be done by one,
There is nothin' more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!
It's a lovely day today,
So whatever you've got to do,
You've got a lovely day to do it in
That's true!
And I hope whatever you've got to do,
It's something that can be done by two,
For I'd really like to stay!
It's a lovely day today,
And whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doin' it
With you!
But if you've got somethin' that must be done
And it can only be done by one,
There is nothin' more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!
But if you've got somethin' that must be done
An' it can only be done by one,
There is nothing more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
...what a lovely day for saying!
It's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!
So whatever you've got to do,
You've got a lovely day to do it in
That's true!
And I hope whatever you've got to do,
It's somethin' that can be done by two,
For I'd really like to stay!
It's a lovely day today,
And whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doin' it
With you!
But if you've got somethin' that must be done
An' it can only be done by one,
There is nothin' more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!
It's a lovely day today,
So whatever you've got to do,
You've got a lovely day to do it in
That's true!
And I hope whatever you've got to do,
It's something that can be done by two,
For I'd really like to stay!
It's a lovely day today,
And whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doin' it
With you!
But if you've got somethin' that must be done
And it can only be done by one,
There is nothin' more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!
But if you've got somethin' that must be done
An' it can only be done by one,
There is nothing more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
...what a lovely day for saying!
It's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!
Ivy Rose lyrics - Perry Como
Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine
As the years disappear in the twilight of time
With a sigh we will fondly recall
All the plans that we made, how we kissed unafraid
In the shade of the old ivy wall
Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine
Hand in hand as we stand 'neath the old campus moon
Make believe that tomorrow is here
Picture me close to you in a dream house for two
Where the ivy grows greener each year
Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine
As the years disappear in the twilight of time
With a sigh we will fondly recall
All the plans that we made, how we kissed unafraid
In the shade of the old ivy wall
Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine
Hand in hand as we stand 'neath the old campus moon
Make believe that tomorrow is here
Picture me close to you in a dream house for two
Where the ivy grows greener each year
Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine
Jingle Bells lyrics - Perry Como
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh!
Dashing through the snow (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)
In a one-horse open sleigh (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)
O'er the fields we go (o'er the fields, jingle, jingle!)
Laughin' all the way!
Bells on Bob-Tail ring (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)
Makin' spirits bright (la, la, la la!)
What fun it is to ride an' sing,
A sleighing song tonight!

A day or two ago (A day or two ago...)
I thought I'd take a ride (I thought I'd take a ride...)
And soon Miss Fanny Bride (And soon Miss Fanny Bride...)
Was seated by my side...
(The horse was lean and lank)
Misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank,
And we...
We got up sot!
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
(Oh what fun it is to ride...)
In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Hey!
Now the ground is white (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)
Go it while you're young (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)
Take the girls tonight (Take the girls tonight...)
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a Bob-Tailed Nag (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch 'em to an open sleigh,
An' crack you'll take the lead!
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!

Juke Box Baby lyrics - Perry Como
When my jukebox baby takes the floor
'Round the old jukebox in the candy store
The joint starts jumpin'
Till the roof comes tumblin' down
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'est doll in town
(Jukebox baby) put a nickel in for Maybelline
(Jukebox baby) drop another one for Seventeen
Jukebox baby) whisper to your daddy-o
Three little love words
(Kokomo)
How ya gonna get your homework done
When you keep that jukebox on the run
You don't dig Latin like ya dig that crazy sound
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'est doll in town
(Jukebox baby) I hear you knockin'
(Jukebox baby) Keep the coin box hoppin'
(Jukebox baby) Tell me sincerely
That you ain't forgettin' no Tina Marie

Just Born (To Be Your Baby) lyrics - Perry Como
(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be...)
Some people are born to be doctors
Some are born to be lumber jacks
Some are born just to take life easy
Others are born to break their backs
But I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
Nobody else will do
(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be...)
Some people will kiss and nothin' happens
Other hearts are made of stone
But whenever I feel our lips meet
Somethin' starts crawlin' all through my bones
'Cause I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
Nobody else will do
(Just born to be...)
If now an' then you start to wonder
Will I be the perfect mate
Don't you worry my purdy little darlin'
It was all arranged by fate
'Cause I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
(It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do
(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be...)
Some people will search for love a lifetime
Some never feel love in their hearts
But I was born with a silver spoon
I had your love'a right from the start
Yes, I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you, baby
It's true... (It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do

Lili Marlene lyrics - Perry Como
(This is the story of Lili Marlene,
doo, doo, doo doo, doo!)
Would you like to hear the story,
of a girl that many soldiers know?
It's a tale of love in all it's glory,
they tell when the lights are soft an' low!
Underneath the lamp post by the brigades
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
she waits for a boy who marched away
and though he's gone, she hears him say:
"Oh promise you'll be true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till I return to you,
fare thee well Lili Marlene!"
(This is the story of Lili Marlene!)
With a kiss she gave her promise,
to be constant as the stars above,
every soldier knows she's kept her promise,
and she has been faithful to her love!
(Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
for this is the place a vow was made
and breezes sing her serenade...)
"Oh promise you'll be true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till I return to you,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,"
(This is the story of Lili Marlene!
Though wee stems have an ending,
no one knows just what the end will be
but tonight when twilight is descending,
if you'll come along, here's what you'll see...)
Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
and as they go marching to the fray
the soldiers all salute and say:
We'll tell him you've been true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till he returns to you,
fare thee well...
Lili Marlene!
doo, doo, doo doo, doo!)

Marchin' Along To The Blues lyrics - Perry Como
My dreams are blue
My schemes are blue
Everything I look at
Seems to turn to blue
Except the sky above
As gray as it can be
That follows me
An' my broken hearted song
Marchin' along to the blues
The traffic lights shine overhead
They're the deepest blue
Instead of green an' red
Especially on the corner
Where we used to meet
I hear the beat
Of a broken hearted song
marchin' along to the blues
[Instrumental Interlude]
You promised me
You would never make me cry
But look whatcha did
When you said goodbye
The moon is blue
The stars are blue
Ever since they heard the news
That we were through
They can't believe
That after making you my own
I'd be alone
With a broken hearted song
Marchin' along to the blues
[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh, look whatcha did
When you said goodbye
The moon is blue
The stars are blue
Ever since they heard the news
That we were through
They can't believe
That after making you my own
I'd be alone
With a broken hearted song
Marchin' along to the blues
With a broken hearted song
Marchin' along to the blues
My schemes are blue
Everything I look at
Seems to turn to blue
Except the sky above
As gray as it can be

An' my broken hearted song
Marchin' along to the blues

Maybe lyrics - Perry Como
Maybe you'll think of me when you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue, then what will you do?
Maybe you'll sit and sigh, wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say "Maybe"
Maybe you'll think of me when you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue, then what will you do?
Maybe you'll sit and sigh, wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say "Maybe"
Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue, then what will you do?
Maybe you'll sit and sigh, wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say "Maybe"

Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue, then what will you do?
Maybe you'll sit and sigh, wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again

Mr. Meadowlark lyrics - Perry Como
Mr. Meadowlark, we've got an awful lot of serenadin' to do
Mr. Meadowlark, I'm just a city slicker and I'm countin' on you
She's got a country guy who whistles, my whistle's so thin
So when I begin that's where you come in
Mr. Meadowlark, if you should cop a gander when I'm kissin' my chick
Needless to remark, I hope you'll have the decency to exit but quick
If Mrs. M. thinks you're out steppin', I'll make it alright
Mr. Meadowlark, meet me in the dark tonight!
Mr. Meadowlark, I'm just a city slicker and I'm countin' on you

N'yot N'yow (The Pussycat Song) lyrics - Perry Como
This is the story
'bout Perry who came home
late one night!
Must have been about a
two or three am,
something like that!
Gotta get me some sleep,
he yawned as he turned out the light!
Haaw!
I guess I was too tired to do any reading!
Whether he dreamed what happened,
or if he really heard it,
he wouldn't bet
but he swears it sounded like two cats
singin' a duet!
Come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten
This is me, your boyfriend "Tom" (N'yot N'yow!)
Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten
This is old Tom, "Tom" the atom-bomb! (N'yot N'yow!)
We assure you we'd come y'out
if only we knew how
They tell us that you really are
the cat's "MEOW"!
Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten
Now? (N'yot N'yow!) Oh!
Come y'out, come y'out,
come y'out our croonin' kitten
We will serenade the moon! N'yot N'yow!
Come y'out, come y'out,
come y'out our little kitten
We will sing a little tune! N'yot N'yow!
When the folks got home tonight at twelve or thereabout
They locked the door and they forgot to put me-owt!
Oowah! "Alone from night to night you'll find me!"
Come y'out, come y'out,
come y'out our croonin' kitten
Mee-owh! Heh heh
OK, now!
'bout Perry who came home
late one night!
Must have been about a
two or three am,
something like that!
Gotta get me some sleep,
he yawned as he turned out the light!
Haaw!
I guess I was too tired to do any reading!
Whether he dreamed what happened,
or if he really heard it,
he wouldn't bet
but he swears it sounded like two cats
singin' a duet!
Come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten
This is me, your boyfriend "Tom" (N'yot N'yow!)
Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten
This is old Tom, "Tom" the atom-bomb! (N'yot N'yow!)
We assure you we'd come y'out
if only we knew how
They tell us that you really are
the cat's "MEOW"!
Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten
Now? (N'yot N'yow!) Oh!
Come y'out, come y'out,
come y'out our croonin' kitten
We will serenade the moon! N'yot N'yow!
Come y'out, come y'out,
come y'out our little kitten
We will sing a little tune! N'yot N'yow!
When the folks got home tonight at twelve or thereabout
They locked the door and they forgot to put me-owt!
Oowah! "Alone from night to night you'll find me!"
Come y'out, come y'out,
come y'out our croonin' kitten
Mee-owh! Heh heh
OK, now!
No Other Love lyrics - Perry Como
No other love have I
Only my love for you
Only the dream we knew
No other love
Watching the night go by
Wishing you could be
Watching the night with me
Into the night I cry
Hurry home, come home to me, set me free
Free from doubt and free from longing
Into your arms I'll fly
Locked in your arms I'll stay
Waiting to hear you say
No other love have I
No other love
[Instrumental Interlude]
(Into the night I cry)
Hurray home, come home to me
Set me free
Free from doubt and free from longing
Into your arms I'll fly
Locked in your arms I'll stay
Waiting to hear you say
No other love have I
No other love
(No other love)
No other love
Only my love for you
Only the dream we knew
No other love
Watching the night go by
Wishing you could be
Watching the night with me
Into the night I cry
Hurry home, come home to me, set me free
Free from doubt and free from longing
Into your arms I'll fly
Locked in your arms I'll stay
Waiting to hear you say
No other love have I
No other love
[Instrumental Interlude]

Hurray home, come home to me
Set me free
Free from doubt and free from longing
Into your arms I'll fly
Locked in your arms I'll stay

No other love
(No other love)

Personality lyrics - Perry Como
When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor
Said all the gentlemen "Obviously,"
"The madam has the cutest personality"
And think of all the books about Du Barry's looks
What was it made her the toast of Paree?
She had a well-developed personality
(What did Romeo see in Juliet?)
(Or Figaro in Figarette?)
(Or Jupiter in Juno?)
You know!
And when Salome danced and had the boys entranced
No doubt it must have been easy to see
That she knew how to use her personality
(A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well)
(And never sit on the boss's left knee)
(Unless she's got a perfect personality)
(A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair)
(Or even just a bit bowed at the knee)
(If she can show a faultless personality)
Why are certain girls offered certain things
Like sable coats and wedding rings?
By men who wear their spats right?
(That's right!)
(So don'tcha say "I'm smart and have the kindest heart"
(Or "what a wonderful sister I'd be")
Said all the gentlemen "Obviously,"

Rollin' Stone lyrics - Perry Como
Come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong (belong, Oh! come...)
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long!
I wandered into Kansas a-singin' a song
Singin' doodle-doo-day, all day!
And then I got a feelin' that somethin' was wrong
When a voice in my heart seemed to say...
Come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong, belong,
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long!
I left my love a-weepin' in old Arkansas
Left her for the freight cars that passed
But last night in a tavern, I swear that I saw
Her face in a shimmering glass...
(Come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong, belong,
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long...)
Now, when I hear that lonesome old train comin' near
And the moon is over the track
Oh somewhere from the shadows I know that I'll hear
Her voice in the clickity clack!
Oh come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong, belong,
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long...(Come home...)
Home where you belong (belong, Oh! come...)
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long!
I wandered into Kansas a-singin' a song
Singin' doodle-doo-day, all day!
And then I got a feelin' that somethin' was wrong
When a voice in my heart seemed to say...
Come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong, belong,
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long!
I left my love a-weepin' in old Arkansas
Left her for the freight cars that passed
But last night in a tavern, I swear that I saw
Her face in a shimmering glass...
(Come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong, belong,
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long...)
Now, when I hear that lonesome old train comin' near
And the moon is over the track
Oh somewhere from the shadows I know that I'll hear
Her voice in the clickity clack!
Oh come home rollin' stone,

Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long...(Come home...)
Say You're Mine Again lyrics - Perry Como
Say the sun will never shine again
And say the rose that blooms will never bloom again
But come what may I know I must have you again
My darling, say you're mine again
Say that spring will never come again
And say the chapel bells will never ring again
No matter what will be I must be yours again
So darling, say you're mine again
If I were to lose all the world and its treasures
Who cares, let it be as it may
As long as I have you beside me
I'll always be happy that way
Say I'll never see the rain again
And say I'll never hear a sweet refrain again
And say that I was wrong and I'm to blame again
But darling, say you're mine again
[Instrumental Interlude]
Say I'll never see the rain again
And say I'll never hear a sweet refrain again
And say that I was wrong and I'm to blame again
But darling, say you're mine again
Say you're mine again
And say the rose that blooms will never bloom again
But come what may I know I must have you again
My darling, say you're mine again
Say that spring will never come again
And say the chapel bells will never ring again
No matter what will be I must be yours again
So darling, say you're mine again
If I were to lose all the world and its treasures
Who cares, let it be as it may
As long as I have you beside me
I'll always be happy that way
Say I'll never see the rain again
And say I'll never hear a sweet refrain again
And say that I was wrong and I'm to blame again
But darling, say you're mine again

Say I'll never see the rain again
And say I'll never hear a sweet refrain again
And say that I was wrong and I'm to blame again

Temptation lyrics - Perry Como
You came,
I was alone,
I should have known,
you were temptation!
You smiled,
luring me on,
my heart was gone,
and you were temptation!
It would be thrilling if you were willing,
and if it can never be, pity me,
for you were born to be kissed,
I can't resist, you are temptation,
and I am yours!
Here is my heart!
Take it and say, that we'll never part!
I'm just a slave, only a slave,
to you!
Temptation,
I'm your slave!
I was alone,
I should have known,
you were temptation!
You smiled,
luring me on,
my heart was gone,
and you were temptation!
It would be thrilling if you were willing,
and if it can never be, pity me,
for you were born to be kissed,
I can't resist, you are temptation,
and I am yours!
Here is my heart!
Take it and say, that we'll never part!
I'm just a slave, only a slave,

That Christmas Feelin' lyrics - Perry Como
When the days of December are numbered,
And the earth begs it's snowflakes to fall...
That's the time of the year that Christmas is here,
With peace and goodwill for all...
How I love that Christmas feelin'
How I treasure it's friendly glow...
See the way a stranger greets you,
Just as though you'd met him Christmas's ago!

To do what other folks hold dear...
What a blessed place the world would be,
If we had the Christmas feelin' all year!

The Blue Room lyrics - Perry Como
We'll have a blue room,
A new room, for two room.
Where every day's a holiday,
Because you're married to me...
Not like a ball room,
A small room, a hall room,
Where I can smoke my pipe away,
With your wee head upon my knee...
We will thrive on, keep alive on,
Just nothing but kisses,
With mister and missus,
Own little blue chairs...
You sew your trousseau,
and Robinson Crusoe,
Is not so far from worldly cares,
As our blue room, far away upstairs...
(They will thrive on, keep alive on,
Just nothing but kisses...
With mister and missus,
Own little blue chair...
She'll wear her trousseau,
and Robinson Crusoe...)
Is not so far from worldly cares,
As our blue room,
Far away upstairs...
A new room, for two room.
Where every day's a holiday,
Because you're married to me...
Not like a ball room,
A small room, a hall room,
Where I can smoke my pipe away,
With your wee head upon my knee...
We will thrive on, keep alive on,
Just nothing but kisses,
With mister and missus,
Own little blue chairs...
You sew your trousseau,

There's No Boat Like A Rowboat lyrics - Perry Como
Oh, there's no boat like a rowboat
for row, row romancin' love...

Oh, what you do
Your brand of voodoo

Ah-ha, oh, how I dream of
Stealin' your charms
I'm gonna marry you
Some day I'll carry you
Off in my arms
Oh-ho, ah-ha
Hip, I used to be a good time Joe
(Hip-hip)
Kiss a gal and just let her go
(Go-go)
Hope I was really dealin' free till Tina Marie
Mister Cupid you stacked the deck
Why'd you throw me a queen by heck
Now she's braggin'
She's fixed my wagon for me
(Ho-ho, ah-ha)
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
You sweet little schemer
Tina Marie
(Tina, Tina Marie)
Oh what you do
Your brand of voodoo
Is too much for me
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
Ah-ha, oh, how I dream of
Stealin' your charms
I'm gonna marry you
Some day I'll carry you
Off in my arms
(Oh-ho)
If she tells me to jump in the jump
(Jump-jump)
Hope she tells me to dance in a dance
Gotta listen or get no kissin'
From Tina Marie
(Hip-hip)
Hip, she really did fip my winks
(Flip-flip)
Hope I'm lookin' at wedding rings
Is it human the things she's doin' to me
(Oh-ho, ah-ha)
[Instrumental Interlude]
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
Ah-ha, oh, how I dream of
Stealin' your charms
I'm gonna marry you
Some day I'll carry you
Off in my arms
Off in my arms
Oh-ho, ha-ha
Tina Marie
(Hip-hop-hoop, oh-oh, ha-ha)
Hip, I didn't know lips could kiss
(Hip-hip)
Hup, I didn't know eyes could flirt
(Hup-hup)
Hope, I didn't know girls could be
Like Tina Marie
(Hop-hop)
Hip, I didn't know I could sail
(Hip-hip)
Like a pannyboat in the gale
What she's doin'
Will be the ruin of me
(Oh-ho, ah-ha)
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
Ah-ha, you sweet little schemer
Tina Marie
(Tina, Tina Marie)
Oh, what you do
Your brand of voodoo
Is too much for me
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
Ah-ha, oh, how I dream of
Stealin' your charms
I'm gonna marry you
Some day I'll carry you
Off in my arms
Oh-ho, ah-ha
Hip, I used to be a good time Joe
(Hip-hip)
Kiss a gal and just let her go
(Go-go)
Hope I was really dealin' free till Tina Marie
Mister Cupid you stacked the deck
Why'd you throw me a queen by heck
Now she's braggin'
She's fixed my wagon for me
(Ho-ho, ah-ha)
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
You sweet little schemer
Tina Marie
(Tina, Tina Marie)
Oh what you do
Your brand of voodoo
Is too much for me
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
Ah-ha, oh, how I dream of
Stealin' your charms
I'm gonna marry you
Some day I'll carry you
Off in my arms

Wanted lyrics - Perry Como
Wanted, someone who kissed me
And held me closely, then stole my heart
Wanted, someone I trusted
Who gave no warning we'd ever part
She was last seen hiding out in someone's arms
He knew nothing of the danger in her charms
A jury may find her guilty
But I'd forgive her if I could see
A signed confession that she's repented
And really wanted no one but me
[Musical Interlude]
Wanted, someone who kissed me
And held me closely, then stole my heart

But I'd forgive her if I could see
A signed confession that she's repented
And really wanted no one but me
And held me closely, then stole my heart

Wild Horses lyrics - Perry Como
(Hi yup! Hi yup! Hi yup!)
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
It would take more than superior forces
even a dragon to keep you from me
You can make fools out of other good guessers
put me in blinkers, I know where you'd be (Hi yup!)
It would take schools of the finest professors
usin' their thinkers to keep you from me
What a sight you are, how bright you are, you glow
take that sight away and right away I'd go (Hi yup!)
straight to your door over obstacle courses
maybe I'm braggin' but surely you'll see
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
nothin' could keep you from me!
(Hi yup! Hi yup! Hi yup!)
(Hi yup!)
[repeat all]
...nothin' could keep you
from me!
(Hi yup!)
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
It would take more than superior forces
even a dragon to keep you from me
You can make fools out of other good guessers
put me in blinkers, I know where you'd be (Hi yup!)
It would take schools of the finest professors
usin' their thinkers to keep you from me
What a sight you are, how bright you are, you glow
take that sight away and right away I'd go (Hi yup!)
straight to your door over obstacle courses
maybe I'm braggin' but surely you'll see
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
nothin' could keep you from me!
(Hi yup! Hi yup! Hi yup!)
(Hi yup!)
[repeat all]
...nothin' could keep you

(Hi yup!)
You'll Never Walk Alone lyrics - Perry Como
When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high
An' don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark!
Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed an' blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone...
You'll never walk alone!
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone...
You'll never walk alone!
An' don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark!
Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed an' blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone...
You'll never walk alone!
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone...
You'll never walk alone!
