My little sweetheart

Love me, my little sweetheart, and I'll love you too
Be mine forever 'cause our love is true
Hold me, my little sweetheart, and we're never blue
But if love should fade away, you'' always be my little sweetheart

I've got you

I've got you every time we are together
I've got you every time that I'm alone
I've got you every morning, just as the sun is dawning
I've got you every evening when I'm home
I've got you every time when I get lonely
But when I'm sad I've got you worst of all
'cause every day is maybe, til' I get to see my baby
But best of all I've got you best of all

Nobody but you

The skies are blue dear, but I'm still blue dear
'cause it's you dear I need
every day I sit alone and wait until you call
and every nighty dear when I hold you
and tell you I'd be true
and if the skies are filled with clouds dear
there'll still be nobody but you

You are my golden ray of sunshine
that comes into my life each day
you're my delight, you are my treasure
you are my funny sunny day
you always make me feel like dancing
you make me sing my blues away
I need you now, I need you always
you are my funny sunny day
sometimes the days are dark and stormy
and all I see is gloom and grey
those dark clouds gather with no warning
but now I know my sunshine's here to stay
you always make me feel so happy
you're always with me come what may
you give me such a thrill, I know you always will
you are my funny sunny day

Hey! What you done cookin'. it smells so good that I can't wait to see
I haven't eaten since breakfast, and I need to eat - some meat!
Hey! my stomach's groanin' you can hear it way across town
I just can't wait, so cook me up another pot today

Some folks are always wasting their time, looking for some-one new
But if I had my way, I'd really have to say,
I'd rather spend time with you
some people seem to spend all their time, giving their point of view
no matter what they say, I will have my way
I'd rather spend time with you
people always ask me, what do I really want
while I'm confessin' I keep them guessin'
what I'm thinking
why should I worry spending my time. wondering what to do
when it comes to the clinch, it really is a cinch
I'd rather spend time with you

Suzie's the gal I adore
02:32
|
|||
|
Verse
What can I say about Suzie, that hasn't been said before
I've had some special girls in my life, but none that I could call my wife
so I travelled around this great big world, from Idaho to Tim-buck-too
and now I know I've found the one, a girl to make my dreams come true
Chorus
I'd rather be with Suzie 'cause Suzie's the gal I adore
I spent a night with Daisy and she nearly drove me crazy
and Nellie in the sun was just a bore
I once went out with Mabel and she drank me under the table
and Dolly never ever said hello
some people think I'm choosy but I'd rather be with Suzie
'cause Suzie's the gal that I adore
Chorus 2
There's no other gal like Suzie, 'cause Suzie's the gal for me
I even tried Sadie, but she was no lady,
and Louise wasn't always such a breeze
I spent a week with Molly but it ended up a folly
and Rosie's not as sweet as she may seem
my Suzie's rather nifty and she's not too far past sixty
Suzie's the gal for me

I knew the night I first saw you, the stars aligned up above
I knew at once this was special, and this must be love
I knew that we were destined, to fall in love for all time
today, tomorrow and forever we'll share a love devine

Why won't you be mine
02:41
|
|||
|
I climbed the highest mountain, without a safety line
Sailed the roughest oceans, so why won’t you be mine
I ran the 100 metres, in world record time
Swam the Ganges River, so why won’t you be mine
You may think I’m braggin’, when I talk about myself
But if you don’t make your mind up soon, I’ll leave you on the shelf
I buy my clothes at Sacks on 5th, I drink expensive wine
I only eat at the Waldorf, so why won’t you be mine
I could give you diamonds, from my diamond mine
I’d give you minks and sables, so why won’t you be mine
I flew the world with Lindberg, I own the White Star Line
I coached the New York Yankees, so why won’t you be mine
I’m really quite impressive, I’m too good to be true
I’ve got everything I want, everything but you
We could live together, in my castle by the Rhine
You won’t find a better man, your life could be so devine
So why won’t, Why won’t you be mine

I'm Salty Sam the Seadog I'm a crusty old sailor man
I spit I curse I chew tobacci and I drink as much as I can
I got a hook for a hand, a peg for a leg, one good eye and I'm all full of lead
when a shark once bit me, he dropped down dead, I', Salty Sam the Seadog
I love to dance the hornpipe and I call the ship my home
I never had any friends you see I prefer to be alone
I love to sail the Cape Horn run my life is great it's a bundle of fun
I roam the seas with a keg of rum and barnacles on my tail
I have myself a whale of a time sailing the seven seas
and when I gets into a port I get any gal I please
I'm always happy and I'm never sad, I never wash and I'm always bad
some people think I'm a little bit mad I'm Salty Sam the Seadog

It's wonderful, every time you talk to me
you're wonderful, every time you smile
you fill me with feelings of love
you send me right to the stars
it's such a thrill, every time you glance my way
and I can't wait, til we meet again
the way that you walk the way that you talk. does something to me
you're beautiful, you are
It's magical, every time I touch your hand
those special times, when we are alone
I want you each day of the year
I need you, all of my life
you haunt my mind, every time I think of you
you come to me, every time I dream
and I can't believe the feeling of love that you bring to me
you're beautiful, you are

There were times when I was lonely
there were times when I was blue
but since the day I first saw you
now each day is oh so special
all the guys they are so jealous
when they see you out with me
happy times are here to stay 'cause
you're my baby now

Take me back to dreamland
where the roses grew
lazy days and sunsets
and all our dreams come true
take me back to dreamland
where skies are always blue
take me back to the place I love
where there's no-one but you
