On A Little Street In Singapore

On a little street in Singapore,
We'd meet beside a lotus-covered door,
A veil of moonlight on her lonely face,
How pale the hands that held me in embrace.
My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar,
And temple bells will guide me to the shore.
And then I'll hold her in my arms, and love the way I
loved before,
On a little street in Singapore.

On The Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe

What a lovely trip, I'm feeling so fresh and alive
And I'm so glad to arrive, it's all so grand
It's easy to see you don't need a palace
To feel like Alice in Wonderland
Back in Ohio where I come from
I've done a lot of dreamin' and I've travelled some
But I never thought I'd see the day
When I ever took a ride on the Santa Fe
(wanna take a ride on the Santa Fe)

I would lean across my window sill
And hear the whistle echoin' across the hill
Then I'd watch the lights till they fade away
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
What a thrill (what a great big wonderful thrill)
With the wheels a-singin' "westward ho"
Right from the day I heard them start
'Cross the Kansas plains from New Mexico
I guess I've got a little gypsy in my heart
When I'm old and grey and settled down
If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town
Then I'll spend my busman's holiday
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

All aboard! (we came across the country lickety-split)
(rollin' ninety miles an hour), I can't believe I'm here at last
Woo-oo-ooo! (when you go travellin', it's best for you
to take the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe!)
I can't believe that anything could go so fast
Then you pull that throttle, whistle blows
A-huffin' and a-puffin' and away she goes
All aboard for California*, hey!
On the Atchison (on the Atchison)
On the Atchison, Topeka (on the Atchison, Topeka)
On the Atchison, Topeka (on the Atchison, Topeka)
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe!

*California pronounced "californ-eye-ay"

On The Road To Mandalay

By the old Moulmein Pagoda
Looking eastward to the sea
There's a Burma gal a settin'
And I know that she waits for me

And the wind is in those palm trees
And the temple bells they say
Come you back you mother soldier
Come you back to Mandalay, come you back to Mandalay

Come you back to Mandalay
Where the old flotilla lay
I can here those paddles chonkin'
From Rangoon to Mandalay

On the road to Mandalay
Where the flying fishes play
And the dawn comes up like thunder
Out of China across the bay

Ship me somewhere east of Suez
Where the best is like the worst
And there ain't no Ten Commandments
And a cat can raise a thirst

And those crazy bells keep ringing
'Cause it's there that I long to be
By the egg foo yong pagoda
Looking eastward to the sea

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Grab your coat and snatch your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep.
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.
Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune in your step.
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade with the blues on parade.
BUT I'M NOT afraid the rover, crossed over.

If I never had a cent I'll be rich as Rockfeller.
The gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade.
But I'm not afraid 'cause the rover, he got over.

If I never had a cent I'd be rich as Rockfeller.
All those chicks 'round my feet,
On the sunny side of the street.

Once I Loved (o Amor En Paz)

Once, once I Loved
And I gave so much love to this world you were the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye

And then one day
>From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls I'll never let you go
I will hold you close
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away

Once In A While

Once in awhile, will you try to give one little thought to me,
Though someone else may be nearer your heart.
Once in a while, will you dream of the moments I shared with you,
Moments before we two drifted apart.
In love's smoldering ember, just one spark may remain,
If love still can remember, that spark may burn again.
I know that I'd be contented with yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me once in a while.

Once In Love With Amy

Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart on fire to stay.

Once you're kissed by Amy, tear up your list it's Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers, moon a million hours away.

You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover so carefree and bold
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold.

But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever sweetly you'll romance her, trouble is the answer will be
That Amy'd rather stay in love with me.

(instrumental), always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart on fire to stay.

(instrumental), get rid of your list it's Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers, moon a million hours away.

You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover so carefree and bold
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold.

But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever sweetly you'll romance her, trouble is the answer will be
That Amy'd rather stay in love with me.

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Very long ago

Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time
Now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go

Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again

Once upon a time
Never comes again

One Finger Melody

Yum dida dida, I love to play this melody,
Yum dida dida, the melody you sang to me.
Here beside my piano, I linger,
Picking out a memory with just one finger.
Yum dida dida, the music brings me close to you,
Maybe if I play it long enough it will come true,
Now you're far away and I'm alone and so I play
Yum dida dida, da yum dida dida, all day.

Yum dida dida, the music brings me close to you,
Maybe if I play it long enough it might come true,
Now you're far away and I'm alone and so I play
Yum dida dida, da yum dida dida, all day.
(Yum dida dida da ooo, yum dida dida da ooo)
Yum dida dida, da ooo.

One For My Baby

It's quarter to three,
There's no one in the place except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe
I got a little story I othou know

We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I know the routine
so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad
Wish you'd make the music pretty and sad

could tell you a lot,
but you've got to be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

You'd never know it
but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me
Till it's all talked away

Well, that's how it goes
And Joe I know you're gettin' pretty anxious to close
So Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear

this torch that I've found
must be drowned
Or it's soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

That long.. long road
