Sposin' lyrics - Perry Como

Sposin' I should fall in love with you,
Do you think that you could love me too?
Sposin' I should hold you and caress you,
Would it impress you, or distress you?

Sposin' I should say "For you I yearn,"
Would you think I'm speakin' out of turn?
An' sposin' I would declare it,
Would you take my love and share it?

I'm not sposin',
I'm in love with you!

[instrumental break]

Huh! Sposin' I should say "For you I yearn,"
Would you think I'm speakin' out of turn?
An' sposin' I'd declare it,
Would you take my love and share it?

I'm not sposin',
I'm in love with you!

I Had The Craziest Dream lyrics - Perry Como

I had the craziest dream last night, yes I did!
I never dreamed it could be,
Yet there you were, in love with me.

I found your lips close to mine, so I kissed you,
And you didn't mind it at all!
When I'm awake, such a break never happens,
How long can a guy go on dreamin'?

If there's a chance that you care, then please,
Say you do Baby!
Say it and make my craziest dream come true.

Deed I Do lyrics - Perry Como

Do I want you?
Oh my! Do I!

Do I love you?
Oh my! Do I!

Honey, deed I do!

Ah Deed I Do!

Somebody Loves Me lyrics - Perry Como

Somebody loves me, I wonder who,
I wonder who she can be.
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew,

Sleepy Time Gal lyrics - Perry Como

Sleepy time gal,
You're turnin' night into day!
Sleepy time gal,
You've danced the ev'ning away!

Before each silvery star fades out of sight,
Please give me one little kiss, then let us whisper "Goodnight,"
It's gettin' late and, Dear, your pillow's waitin'...
Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin' is through,
Sleepy time gal, I'll find a cottage for you.

You'll learn to cook and to sew,

What's more, you'll love it, I know!
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal!

[instrumental repeat of verse]

You'll learn to cook and to sew,
What's more, you'll love it, I know!
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal!

Me And My Shadow lyrics - Perry Como

(originally by Whispering Jack Smith)

Me and my shadow,
Strolling down the avenue,
Me and my shadow,
Not a soul to tell our troubles to . . .

And when it's twelve o'clock,
We climb the stair,
We never knock,
For nobody's there . . .

Just me and my shadow,
All alone and feelin' blue . . .

And when it's twelve o'clock,
We climb the stair,
We never knock,
For nobody's there . . .

Just me and my shadow,
All alone and feelin' blue . . .

Without A Song lyrics - Perry Como

Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song!

That field of corn, would never see a plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!

I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll (Roll you river Jordan!)
I'll get along as long as a song is strung
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

(I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll,
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul!)
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

More Than You Know lyrics - Perry Como

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder, of you!

Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
And give you the break you need!

More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find, you're on my mind
More than you know!

Whether you're right
Whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
I need you so, more than you'll ever know!

Loving you the way that I do
There's nothin' I can do about it
Loving may be all that you can give
But honey I can't live without it!

Hmmm... Oh, how I'd cry
Oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know!

Blue Skies lyrics - Perry Como

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

[instrumental break]

Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

[instrumental break]

Nothin' but blue birds all day long!

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

My Melancholy Baby lyrics - Perry Como

Come to me my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue...
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know dear that I'm in love with you!

Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!

[instrumental break]

Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!

Girl Of My Dreams lyrics - Perry Como

Girl of my dreams, I love you
Honest I do, you are so sweet
If I could just hold your charms
Again in my arms
Then, life would be complete!

Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!

And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!

[instrumental break]

Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!

And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!

Chincherinchee lyrics - Perry Como

Where the jungle trees are tall
Grows a flower sweet to see
It's a purdy flower they call "Chincherinchee!"

There a boy sang all day long
To a maiden tenderly
And he called her in his song "Chincherinchee!"

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
"Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"

Everyone will agree
She's as sweet as can be
She's so kissable and caress-able "Chincherinchee!"

Everybody can see
How exciting is she
She's embraceable, irreplaceable "Chincherinchee!"

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade...

[instrumental verse]

Every night they used to meet
By a tall banyan tree
Where he sang his heart to sweet "Chincherinchee!"

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
"Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"

"Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"

If I Loved You lyrics - Perry Como

If I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know!

If I loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
'Round in circles I'd go!

Longing to tell you
But afraid an' shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!

Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I love you
If I loved you!

[instrumental break]

[repeat last verse]

They Say It's Wonderful lyrics - Perry Como

They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And with the moon up above
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, so they tell me!

I can't recall who said it, I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful
Wonderful, in every way, so they say!

[instrumental break]

[repeat last verse]

I've Got A Feelin' I'm Fallin' lyrics - Perry Como

I'm flyin' high, but I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you
You caught my eye, and I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Show me the ring and I'll jump right through!

I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o
Now I'm a tingle over you
Hey mister parson stand by, for I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you!

(yes, it's a plain to see that he's flyin' high
And we've got a feelin' he's fallin'...)

I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
(no one else will do, since you,
Caught his eye and we've got a feelin' he's fallin'...)
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o
Now I'm a tingle over you
(hey mister parson stand by,
Cause we've got a feelin' he's fallin'...)
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
(nobody else will do,
But you...)

Oh, How I Miss You Tonight lyrics - Perry Como

Oh! how I miss you tonight,
Miss you while lights are low
Oh! how I need you tonight,
More than you'll ever know!

Each moment though we're apart
You're never out of my heart
But I'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only
Dear One, how I miss you tonight!

Miss you while lights are low

Dream Along With Me (I'm On My Way To A Star) lyrics - Perry Como

Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star
Come along, come along, leave your worries where they are
Up and beyond the sky, watchin' the world roll by
Sharin' a kiss, a sigh, just use your imagination!

On a cloud of love, we'll hear the music of night
We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far

Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!

[instrumental break]

(We can wink at the moon
as we hold each other tight...)
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!

"I Believe" (1956)

I Believe lyrics - Perry Como

I believe, for every drop of rain that falls,
A flower grows...

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,
A candle glows...

I believe for everyone who goes astray,
Someone will come, to show the way,
I believe, I believe...

I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard...

I believe, that someone in the great somewhere,
Hears every word...

Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then I know why, I believe!

I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard...

I believe, that someone in the great somewhere,
Hears every word...

Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then I know why, I believe!

Leads against the foe;

Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,

Act Of Contrition lyrics - Perry Como

O My God, I am heartily sorry,
For having offended Thee,
And I detest all my sins,
Because I dread the loss of heaven,
And the pains of Hell,
But most of all because I have offended Thee My God,
Who art all good and deserving of all my love,
I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace,

To confess my sin, to do penance,
And to amend my life,
Amen

Nearer My God To Thee lyrics - Perry Como

Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee,
Even though it be a cross,
That raiseth me...

Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee...

Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone...

Yet in my dreams I'll be,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee...

There let the way appear,
Steps unto Heaven,
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given!

Angels to beckon me,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee...

Abide With Me lyrics - Perry Como

Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens. Lord with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day.
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me!

I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!

The Lord's Prayer lyrics - Perry Como

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors; (As we forgive our debtors!)
And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power, and the glory, forever!
Amen

Bless This House lyrics - Perry Como

Bless this house, O Lord we pray,
Make it safe by night and day...

Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out...

Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie overall...

Bless this door that it may prove,
Ever open,
To joy and love...

Bless these windows shining bright,

Letting in God's Heavenly light,
Bless the hearth, ablazing there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer!

Bless the people here within,
Keep them pure and free from sin...

Bless us all that we may be,
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee...

Bless us all that one day we may dwell,
O Lord! With Thee!

It's A Good Day lyrics - Perry Como

Oh it's a good day, for singing this song
and it's a good day, for moving along
Yes it's a good day, how could anything go wrong?
It's a good day from morning till night

Yes it's a good day for paying for shining your shoes
and it's a good day, for loosing the blues
anything to gain and nothing to loose
cause it's a good day from morning till night (you're right!)

I said to the sun, good morning sun
Rise and shine today
You know you got to get going if you're gonna make a showin
And you know you'll got that right away

Cause it's a good day, for paying your bills
And it's a good day, for killing your ills
So take a deep breath throw away all your pills
Cause it's a good day from morning till night

Just this very day i said to the sun: "Good morning sun"
Rise and shine (why don't you rise and shine)
You know you got to get going if you're gonna make a showin
And you know you'll got that right away

Cause it's a good day, for paying your bills
And it's a good day, for killing your ills
So take a deep breath (ahhh) throw away all your pills
Cause it's a good day from morning till night
say that again
yes it's a good day from morning till night
that's what he said
cause it's a good day from morning till niiiiight!

As Time Goes By lyrics - Perry Como

You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things apply,
As time goes by...

An' when two lovers woo, they still say "I love you,"
On that you can rely, no matter what the future brings,
As time goes by...

Moonlight an' love songs never out of date,
Hearts full of passion, jealousy an' hate,
Woman needs man and man must have his mate,
That no one can deny...

It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by...

[instrumental verse three]

It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by...

I've Got The World On A String lyrics - Perry Como

I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm in love...

I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go,
Anytime I move my finger, lucky me, can't you see?
I'm in love...

Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go...

I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a life, what a world,
I'm in love...

[instrumental repeat of verse]

. . . what a world, what a life,
I'm in love...

[instrumental repeat of verse]

. . . lucky me, can't you see?
That I'm in love...

Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go...

Oh! I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm really in love...

My Funny Valentine lyrics - Perry Como

My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine,
You make me smile with my heart,
Your looks are laughable, un-photographical,
Yet you're my favourite work of art...

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smiling?
But don't change a hair for me,

Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day...

Each day is Valentine's Day...

For Me And My Gal lyrics - Perry Como

The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everybody's been knowin', to a weddin' they're goin'
An' for weeks they've been sewin' every Susie and Sal'...

They're congregatin' (ding, dong, ding, dong,)
For me an' my gal (ding, dong, ding, dong,)
The Parson's waitin' (ding, dong, ding, dong,)
For me and my gal (ding, dong, ding, dong,)
An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,
Or three or four, or more,
In Loveland, for me an' my gal...

See the relatives there, lookin' over the pair,
They can tell at a glance, it's a loving romance,
It's a wonderful sight, as the families unite,
See it makes the boy proud, as he says to the crowd...

The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everyone's been knowin' (all our friends and our relations!)
To a weddin' they're goin' (will be at the railroad station!)
An' for weeks they've been sewin' (or, they'll send congratulations!)
Every Susie and Sal' (...for me an' my gal!)

They're congregatin' for me an' my gal,

An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,
(Or three or four,) or more, (or more!)
In Loveland! (Loveland!)
In Loveland! (Loveland!)
In Loveland, for me an' my gal!

I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues lyrics - Perry Como

I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to feel low-down,
I gotta right t' hang around, down around the river. .

A certain gal in this ol' town, keeps draggin' my poor heart around,
All I see for me, is misery...

I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to moan and sigh,
I gotta right to sit and cry, down around the river...

I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues! (doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo)

(He's gotta right to sing the blues) I gotta right to sing the blues!
(He's gotta right to moan and sigh) I gotta right t' moan and sigh!

I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues... the blues,
I gotta right (the right!) tonight (tonight!)
I gotta right to sing the blues! (doo doo, doo doo, doo wah!)

Breezin' Along With The Breeze lyrics - Perry Como

I'm just breezin' along with the breeze,
Trailing the rails, I'm a roamin' the seas.
Like the birdies that sing in the trees,
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please.

The sky is the only roof I have over my head,
And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed.
I'm just goin' along as I please,
Breezin' along with the breeze.

[instrumental repeat of verse]

The sky is the only roof I have over my head,
And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed.
I'm just goin' along as I please,
Breezin' along with the breeze.

It's The Talk Of The Town lyrics - Perry Como

I can't show my face,
Can't go anyplace,
People stop an' stare,
It's so hard to bare,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town...

Every time we meet,
My heart skips a beat,
We don't stop to speak,
'Though it's just a week,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town...

We send out invitations,
To friends and relations,
Announcing our weddin' day
Friends and our relations,
Gave congratulations,
How can you face them?
What can you say?

Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town...

[instrumental repeat of verse]

How can you face them?

It's the talk of the town.

You Do Something To Me lyrics - Perry Como

You do somethin' to me,
Somethin' that simply mystifies me,
Tell me, why should it be?
You have the power to hypnotize me...

Let me live 'neath your spell,
Do do that 'voodoo' that you do so well!
For you do somethin' to me,
That nobody else could do!

You... do... somethin' to me,
Somethin' that simply mystifies me,

It Happened In Monterey lyrics - Perry Como

It happened in monterey, a long time ago,
I met her in monterey, in ol' mexico.
Stars an' steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine,
Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine.

It happened in monterey, without thinkin' twice,
I left her an' threw away the key to paradise.
My indiscreet heart, longs for a sweetheart,
That I left in ol' monterey!

(it happened in monterey, a long time ago,
He met her in monterey, in old mexico.)
Stars and steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine,
Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine.

(it happened in monterey, without thinking twice)
I left her an' threw away the key to paradise.
My indiscreet heart, longs for a sweetheart,
That I left in ol' monterey!

There's no one in the place except you an' me.
So, set 'em up Joe, I've got a little story that you otta kno.
We're drinkin' my friend, t' the end of a brief episode,
Make it one for ma baby an' one more for the road...

I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine,
I'm feelin' so bad, I wish you'd make the music dreamy an' sad,
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your 'code'
Make it one for ma baby, one more for the road...

You'd never kno' it, but Buddy, I'm kind of a poet,
And I've got a lot of things to say.

And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me,
Until it's talked away...

Well, that's how it goes, and Joe I kno' you're gettin' anxious t' close,
So thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear...
This torch that I've found, must be drowned or it soon will explode,
Make it one for ma baby, an' one more for the road...

That long, long road!

In The Still Of The Night lyrics - Perry Come

(Do you love me? Do you love me?)

In the still of the night, as I gaze from my window,
At the moon in it's flight, my thoughts all stray to you...

In the still of the night, while the world is in slumber,
Oh the times without number, Darling when I say to you,
"Do you love me, as I love you?
Are you my life to be, my dreams come true? (Will you be my dream come true?)
Or, will this dream of mine fade out of sight?"

Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill,
In the chill, still of the night... (Do you love me?)

(Do you love me?)

In the still of the night...

'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!"

The alphabet with you,
To tell you what you mean to me!

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]

From a dreamer's hol-i-day.

A Hubba - Hubba - Hubba lyrics - Perry Como

It's always fair weather,
When hep cats get together!
And every time they meet,
Here's the way you'll hear them greet (greet!)
A hubba-hubba-hubba hello dad!

Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, I just got back!
Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, let's shoot some breeze!

Hmm a hubba-hubba-hubba, haven't you heard?
A hubba-hubba-hubba, slip me the word!

I got it from a guy who was in the kno'
It was mighty smoky over tokyo!
A friend of mine in a b-29 dropped another load for luck,
As he flew away, he was heard to say:
"a hubba-hubba-hubba yuk yuk!"

Well I gotta go fishin'
That's ok, we'll give you our permission and we'll say,
A hubba-hubba-hubba, on your way!
And I will dig you later in the usa!
Ta dah dah dee dee dee ta dee dee, ta dah dah hi hi hi tee dee dee!

Well you're lookin' mighty purdy miss curly locks!
I'm the grand old girly of the bobby socks!
Hmm yuttata yuttata yuttaton you talk big!
Well I'm the fresh tomata you can't dig!
Let's have a heart to heart'a and you'll decide!
I'm a chick what's really on the solid side!

You knock me flat, you're the kind of a cat,
Makes me wanta blow my top: "'till the end of time..."(aaaaah!)

And if you feel that way, tell me what you say?
A hubba-hubba-hubba muk muk!

You're the kind of cat, wears a sharp cravat,
And you really know your stuff!

If you feel that way, tell me what you say?
A hubba-hubba-hubba ruff ruff!

A getta long a little mousy with the great big eyes,
Well if you're lookin' for a spousey,
Why you're just my size!

With that knock out squawk,
Seems your lips are made of rubber
Every time you talk!

Oh no, no, no, hubba-hubba!

Yes, yes, yes, hubba-hubba!

Bop, bop, bop, hubba-hubba!
A what you kno' (a what you kno')

All At Once You Love Her lyrics - Perry Como

(All at once you know)
(All at once you know)

You start to light her cigarette
And all at once you love her
You've scarcely talked
You've scarcely met
But all at once you love her

You like her eyes, you tell her so
She thinks you're wise and clever
You kiss goodnight and then you know
You'll kiss goodnight forever
You wonder where your heart can go
Then all at once you know
(All at once you know)

[Instrumental Interlude]

You like her eyes ('like her eyes)
You tell her so ('tell her so)
She thinks you're wise and clever
(You're wise an' clever)
You kiss goodnight and then you know
You'll kiss goodnight forever
You wonder where your heart can go
Then all at once you know
(All at once you know)

Because lyrics - Perry Como

Because, you come to me,
with naught save love,
and hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
a wider world of hope and joy I see,
because you come to me!

Because you speak to me in accent sweet,
I find the roses waking 'round my feet,
and I am led through tears and joy to thee,
because you speak to me!

Because God made thee mine,
I'll cherish thee,
through light and darkness through all time to be,
and pray His love may make our love divine,
because God made thee mine!

Best Of Times - Perry Como

The best of times is now,
What's left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows!

So hold this moment fast (hold it fast)
And live and love as hard as you know how (you know how)
And make this moment last (moment last)
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!

Now! not some forgotten yesterday,
Now! tomorrow is too far away!

So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!

The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,

Who knows, who knows!

Now! (this is the moment we should take)
Not some forgotten yesterday
(yesterday is just a faded memory)
Now! (don't let this moment go to waste)
Tomorrow is too far away! (too far, too far away)

And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!

The best of times is now,
What's left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows!

So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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?

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
Has got me higher than a kite
Hand me down my soup and fish
I am gonna get my wish
Hoop-dee-doin' it tonight

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-dee-doo), hoop-dee-doo
(Hoop-dee-doo), hoop-de-doo
(I hear a polka and my troubles are through)
Ha, ha, ha

(Hoop-dee-dee) hoop-de-dee
(This kind of music is like heaven to me)

Oh, hoop-dee-doo (hoop-hee-doo)
Hoop-dee-doo (hoop-Dee-Doo)
Has got me higher than a kite
Hand me down my soup and fish
I am gonna get my wish
Hoop-dee-doin' it tonight

(When there's a trombone playin')
Ah, ha, ha, ha
(He gets a thrill)
I get a thrill, I always will
(He always will)
(When there's a concertina stretched about a mile
I always smile (You'll see him smile)
'Cause that's my style (Oh, that's his 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 we could die)
Ah, yes lead me to the floor and hear me yell for more
'Cause I'm a hoop-dee-doin' kind of guy

Ooooh, hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
It's got us higher than a kite
They're in clover, we're in bloom
When we're dancin' give us room
Hoop-de-doin' it with all of our might
Rain may fall and snow may come
Nothin's gonna stop us from
Hoop-dee-doin' it
Hoop-dee-doin' it
Hoop-dee-doin' it tonight

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...

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

Oh! Oh! I lost my head!
I guess I'll go home alone,

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?

I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Perry Como

I'll be home for Christmas
you can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
and presents on the tree!

Christmas Eve will find me

I'll be home for Christmas
if only in my dreams!

Christmas Eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
if only in my dreams!

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!

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,

I'm Gonna Love That Gal lyrics - Perry Como

I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before
I'm gonna show that gal she's the baby that I adore
When she's in my arms again
Our dreams will all come true
Then, the years between might never have been
We'll start our lives anew!

I'm gonna kiss that gal like she's never been kissed before
And though I miss that gal she's the baby I'm waitin' for

We'll never part again
She'll hold my heart again
Forever and ever more
I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before!

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
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

If Wishes Were Kisses lyrics - Perry Como

If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you
I'd hold you in my arms again the way I used to do
If wishes were kisses, how happy I would be
I'd always have you close to me to thrill me through an' through
If dreamers were schemers, I'd make my dream come true
If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you!

If wishes were kisses, how happy I would be!
I'd always have you close to me to thrill me through an' through
If dreamers were schemers, I'd make my dream come true
If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you!

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!

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

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!

Hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh!

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,
Jingle all the way!

In a one-horse open sleigh
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!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride...
In a one-horse open sleigh!

Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing (And heav'n and nature sing!)
And heav'n and nature sing (And heav'n and nature sing!)

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy (Repeat the sounding joy!)
Repeat the sounding joy (Repeat the sounding joy!)
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love (And wonders of His love!)
And wonders of His love (And wonders of His love!)
And wonders, and wonders of His love.

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

(Hip-hip, hop-hop, ho-ho, aww

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

(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be your own)

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

(Nobody else will do)

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

(Just born to be your baby...)
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!

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

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"

Mi Casa, Su Casa (My House, Is Your House) lyrics - Perry Como

Mi casa, su case,
my house is your house,
welcome to my hacienda!

Mi casa, su casa,
my home is your home,
I'll give you love warm and tender!

My house is nothing more,
than windows and a door,
and a roof that will keep out the rain!

The day you say you're mine,
my humble house will shine,
just like a castle in Spain!

Mi casa, su case,
my house is your house,
let's plan the future together!

Tell me, oh tell me,
that your heart is my heart,
and I will love you forever!

The day you say you're mine,
my humble house will shine,
just like a castle in Spain!

Mi casa, su case,
my house is your house,
let's plan the future together!

Tell me, oh tell me,
that your heart is my heart,
and I will love you forever!

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!

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!

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

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")

Play Me A Hurtin' Tune lyrics - Perry Como

Play me a hurtin' tune
I wanna an old time hurtin' tune
Make me sigh, make me cry
Make me wanna lay down an' die!

Oh! Play me a hurtin' tune
A tear your heart out hurtin' tune
Of a true, sweetheart who

I love those "Now that I know we're thru,
what am I gonna do?" songs!

Please! Play me a hurtin' tune
I wanna an old time hurtin' tune
Make me sad an' I'll be glad
'Cause I feel so good when I feel so bad!

(We love to feel so sad, we love to feel so bad,
go on an' beat me, mistreat me, go ahead an' cheat me,
I like it, I like it, we like it!)

Ah! Make me sigh (make me cry!)

Make me wanna lay down an' die!

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...)

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

Silent Night lyrics - Perry Como

is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother an' Child
Holy infant so tender an' mild
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Sleep in heav'nly peace

Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia (Alleluia!)
Christ the Saviour is born;
Christ the Saviour is born.

Christ the Saviour...
is born (Alleluia!)

Silent night (silent night!) holy night (holy night!)
Son of God, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth;
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

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!

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!

Christmas helps you to remember,
To do what other folks hold dear...
What a blessed place the world would be,
If we had the Christmas feelin' all year!
[repeat]

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...

There's No Boat Like A Rowboat lyrics - Perry Como

Oh, there's no boat like a rowboat
for row, row romancin' love...

Hearts will skip an' they'll miss
as we kiss in the dark
Oh what love we can make
on a lake in the park

It's an ocean of devotion
a floating dream for two...

Oh, I keep hopin' that
the oars will stray
so we could drift forever
and a day!

'Cause, there's no boat like a rowboat
it's row, row rosy
for row, row romance
in a row, row, rowboat with you!

(Don't wanna steam boat!)
that's not my dreamboat
(Don't wanna sail boat!)
or a whale boat!
(Don't wanna tug boat, a chug-a-lug boat!)
or an ocean liner
on it's way to China!

Oh, there's no boat like a rowboat
for row, row romancin' love...

It's an ocean of devotion
a floating dream for two...

'Cause, there's no boat like a rowboat
in a row, row rowboat with you!

(l could skip an' they'll miss
as we kiss in the dark)
Oh what love we can make
in the lake in the park

(It's an ocean of devotion
a floating dream for two...)

Oh, I keep hoping that
the oars will stray
so we could drift forever
and a day!

'Cause, there's no boat like a rowboat
it's row, row rosy
for row, row romance
in a row, row, rowboat with you!

Tina Marie lyrics - Perry Como

(Hip-hop-hoop, oh-oh, ha-ha)
(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

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

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

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

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
Wanted, someone I trusted
Who gave no warning that 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

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!)

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!
