What
a wonderful word
I see
trees of green, red roses too
I see them
bloom for me and you
And I
think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see
skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright
blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I
think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors
of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also
on the faces of people going by
I see
friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're
really saying I love you.
I hear
babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll
learn much more than I'll never know
And I
think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I
think to myself what a wonderful world
Go down, Moses
When
Israel was in Egypt's Land:
Let my
people go.
Oppress'd
so hard they could not stand,
Let my
people go.
Refrain:
Go down
Moses
'way down
in Egypt's land
Tell ol'
Pharaoh,
Let my
peoples go.
Thus saith
the Lord, bold Moses said:
Let my
people go.
If not
I'll smite your firstborn dead,
Let my
people go.
O let us
all from bondage flee;
Let my
people go.
And let us
all in Christ be free!
Let my
people go
Hello, Dolly!

Well,

You're

You're

So, take

Find her
an empty lap, fellas
Dolly'll

Kiss
of fire
I touch
your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
Those
devil lips that know so well the art of lying
And though
I see the danger, still the flame grows higher
I know I
must surrender to your kiss of fire
Just like
a torch, you set the soul within me burning
I must go
on, I'm on this road of no returning
And though
it burns me and it turns me into ashes
My whole
world crashes without your kiss of fire
I can't
resist you, what good is there in trying?
What good
is there denying you're all that I desire?
Since
first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a
slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity
me, don't pity me
Give me
your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me
tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know
that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it
consumes me, your kiss of fire
Since
first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a
slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity
me, don't pity me
Give me
your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me
tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know
that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it
consumes me……. your kiss of fire!!!
I get ideas
When we
are dancing and your dangerously near me
I get
ideas, I get ideas
I want to
hold you so much closer than I dare
I want to
scold you 'cause I care more than I care to
And when
you touch me and there's fire in every finger
I get
ideas, I get ideas
And after
we have kissed goodnight and still you linger
I kinda
think you get ideas too
Your eyes
are always saying the things you're never saying
I only
hope they're saying that you could love me too
For that's
the whole idea it's true,
The lovely
idea that I'm falling in love with you
Cheek to cheek
Heaven,
I'm in Heaven,
And my
heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem
to find the happiness I seek
When we're
out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
Heaven,
I'm in Heaven,
And the
cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to
vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're
out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
Oh! I love
to climb a mountain,
And to
reach the highest peak,
But it
doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing
cheek to cheek.
Oh! I love
to go out fishing
In a river
or a creek,
But I
don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing
cheek to cheek.
Dance with
me
I want my
arm about you;
The charm
about you
Will carry
me thro' to Heaven
I'm in
Heaven,
and my
heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem
to find the happiness I seek
When we're
out together dancing cheek to cheek
C'est si bon / It's
so good
C’est
si bon
Lovers say
that in France
When they
thrill to romance
It means
that it's so good
C'est
si bon
So I say
to you
Like the
French people do
Because
it's oh so good
Every
word, every sigh, every kiss, dear,
Leads to
only one thought
And the
thought is this, dear!
C'est
si bon
Nothing
else can replace
Just your
slyest embrace
And if you
only would be my own for the rest my days
I will
whisper this phrase
My
darling, my darling...
C’est
si bon!
Blueberry hill
I found my
thrill on Blueberry Hill
On
Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon
stood still on Blueberry Hill
And
lingered until my dreams came true
(The wind
in the willow played
Love's
sweet melody
But all
of those vows we made
Were
never to be)
Though
we're apart, you're part of me still
For you
were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
(I found
my thrill)
Come
climb the hill with me, baby
(on
Blueberry Hill)
We'll
see what we shall see
(on
Blueberry Hill)
I'll
bring my horn with me
(when I
found you)
I'll be
wit' you where berries are blue
(the moon
stood still)
Each
afternoon we'll go
(on
Blueberry Hill)
Higher
than the moon we'll go
(and
lingered until)
Then,
to a weddin' in June we'll go
(my dreams
came true)
Ba-ba-da-de-buzz-buzz va-de-n-da-day
The wind
in the willow played (do you really love me)
Love's
sweet melody (as I love you?)
But all of
those vows we made (will you still remember)
Were never
to be (when the night is through?)
Though
we're apart, you're part of me still
For you
were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
Cone fishing
I'll tell
you why I can't find you
Every time
I go out to your place...
You gone
fishin' (well how you know)
Well
there's a sign upon your door (uh-huh)
Gone
fishin' (I'm real gone man)
You ain't
workin' anymore (could be)
There's
your hoe out in the sun
Where you
left a row half done
You claim
that hoein' ain't no fun (well I can prove it)
You ain't
got no ambition
Gone
fishin' by a shady wady pool (Shangrila, really la)
I'm wishin'
I could be that kind of fool (should I twist your arm?)
I'd say no
more work for mine (welcome to the club)
On my door
I'd hang a sign
Gone
fishin' instead of just a-wishin'
Papa Bing
(yeah Louis)
I stopped
by your place a time or two lately
And you
aren't home either
Well, I'm
a busy man Louis. I got a lotta deals cookin'
I was
probably tied up at the studio
You
weren't tied up you dog
You was
just plain old...
Gone
fishin' (bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah)
There's a
sign upon your door (Pops, don't blab it around, will you?)
Gone
fishin' (keep it shady, I got me a big one staked out)
Mmm,
you ain't workin' anymore (I don't have to work, I got me a piece of
Gary)
Cows need
milkin' in the barn (I have the twins on that detail, they each
take a
side)
But you
just don't give a darn (give 'em four bits a cow and hand lotion)
You just
never seem to learn (man, you taught me)
You ain't
got no ambition (you're convincin' me)
Gone
fishin' (bah-boo-dah-do-dah-do-dah-do)
Got your
hound dog by your side (that's old Cindy-Lou goin' with me)
Gone
fishin' (mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
Fleas are
bitin' at his hide (get away from me boy, you bother me)
Mmm,
folks won't find us now because
Mister
Satch and Mister Cros
We gone
fishin' instead of just a-wishin'
Bah-boo-baby-bah-boo-bah-bay-mmm-bo-bay
Oh yeah!
