31.Walking My Baby Back Home

Gee, it's great after bein' out lateWalkin' my baby back home

Arm in arm over meadow and farmWalkin' my baby back home

We go 'long harmonizing a songOr I'm recitin' a poem

Owls go by and they give me the eyeWalkin' my baby back home

We stop for a while, she gives me a smileAnd snuggles her head on my chest

We start in to pet and that's when I getHer talcum all over my vest

After I kinda straighten my tieShe has to borrow my comb

Once kiss then I continue againWalkin' my baby back home

32.Sunny Side Of The Street

Grab your coat grab your hatLeave your worries on the doorstep

Just direct your feetOn the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear a pitter patAnd that happy tune is your step

Life can be so sweet

On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shadeWith those blues on parade

But I'm not afraidMy rover, crossed over

If I never have a centI'll be rich as Rockefeller

With gold dust at my feetOn the sunny side of the street

33.Delilah

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her windowI saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my womanAs she decieved me I watched and went out of my mind

My, my, my, DelilahWhy, why, why, Delilah

I could see that girl was no good for meBut I was lost like a slave that no man could free

34.Side By Side

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of moneyMaybe we're ragged and funny

But we'll travel alongSinging a song side by side

Don't know what's comin' tomorrowMaybe it's trouble and sorrow

But we'll travel the roadSharing our load side by side

Through all kinds of weatherWhat if the sky should fall

Just as long as we're togetherIt doesn't matter at all

When they've all had their quarrels and partedWe'll be the same as we started

Just a-traveling alongSinging a song side by side

35.Bye Bye Blackbird

Pack up all my care and woeHere I go, singing low

Bye bye blackbird

Where somebody waits for meSugar's sweet, so is he

Bye bye blackbird

No one here can love or understand meOh, what hard luck stories they all hand me

Make my bed and light the lightI'll arrive late tonightBlackbird, bye bye

36.If You Were The Only Girl In The World

If you were the only girl in the worldAnd I were the only boy

Nothing else would matter in the world todayWe would go on lovin' in the same old way

A garden of Eden just made for twoWith nothing to mar our joy

I would say such wonderful things to youThere would be such wonderful things to do

If you were the only girl in the world

And I were the only boy

37.Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And auld lang syne!

For auld lang syne, my dear,For auld lang syne.

We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,For auld lang syne.

38.Merry Widow Waltz

Love unspoken, faith unbroken,All life through.

Strings are playing, hear them saying,"Love me true".

Now the echo answers,"Say you want me too".

All the world's in love with loveAnd I love you.

39.Tulips From Amsterdam

When it's Spring again I'll bring againTulips from Amsterdam

With a heart that's true I'll give to youTulips from Amsterdam

I can't wait until the day you fillThese eager arms of mine

Like the windmill keeps on turningThat's how my heart keeps on yearning

For the day I know we canShare these tulips from Amsterdam

40.Magic Moments

Magic, moments,When two hearts are carin',

Magic, moments,Memories we've been sharin'. . .

I'll never forget the moment we kissed,The night of the hayride,

The way that we hugged to try to keep warm,While takin' a sleigh ride.

Magic, moments,Memories we've been sharin',

Magic, moments,When two hearts are carin' . . .Time can't erase the memory of,

These magic, moments,Filled with love!

41.Ship Ahoy!

All the nice girls love a sailorAll the nice girls love a tar

For there's something about a sailor(Well you know what sailors are!)Bright and breezy, free and easy,

He's the ladies' pride and joy!He falls in love with Kate and Jane, then he's off to sea again,

Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!

42.Get Me To The Church

I'm gettin' married in the morningDing, dong, the bells are gonna chime

Pull out the stopper, we'll have a whopperBut get me to the church on time

I got to get there in the morningSpruced up and lookin' in my prime

Girls come and kiss me, say that you'll miss meBut get me to the church on time

If I am dancing roll up the floorIf I am whistling right out the door

I got to get there in the morningDing, ding, dong, they're gonna chime

Kick up a rumpus, don't lose your compassGet me to the church, get me to the churchPete's sake, get me to the church on time

43.Waiting At The Church

There was I, waiting at the church,Waiting at the church, waiting at the church;

When I found he'd left me in the lurch.Lor, how it did upset me!

All at once, he sent me round a noteHere's the very note, this is what he wrote:

"Can't get away to marry you today,My wife, won't let me!"
