There’s a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream…
Oh, life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I’m the only one that you love
Life could be a dream, sweetheart
Sh-boom sh-boom, ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Let me call you sweetheart
I’m in love with you
Let me hear you whisper
That you love me too
Keep the love light glowing
In your eyes so true
Let me call you sweetheart
I’m in love with you
Keep the love light glowing
In your eyes so true
Let me call you sweetheart
I’m in love with you
Love, exciting and new,
Come aboard, we’re expecting you.
Love, life’s sweetest reward,
Let it flow, it floats back to you…
Baby, let’s cruise away from here,
Don’t be confused, the way is clear,
And if you want it you got it, forever…
Old man rhythm is in my shoes,
It’s no use to sittin’ and a-singin’ the blues,
So be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose,
Won’t ya let me take you on a sea cruise?
Well, it’s one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
But don’t you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything
But stay off of my blue suede shoes
And I guess that’s why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that’s why they call it the blues
Blue Christmas, that’s the way you see it when you’re feeling blue
Blue Xmas, when you’re blue at Christmastime you see right through
All the waste, all the sham, all the haste
And plain old bad taste
It’s been a while
Since I could
Look at myself straight
And it’s been a while
Since I said, “I’m sorry”
And it’s been a while
Since I’ve seen the way
That candles light your face
And it’s been a while
But I can still remember
Just the way you taste
I hold your hand in mine, dear
I press it to my lips
I take a healthy bite from
Your lovely fingertips
Sha, la, la, la, la
My oh my,
Looks like the boy’s too shy,
Ain’t gonna kiss the girl…
We stood there kissin’ by the mistletoe
Tingle, tingle, tingle, tingle
Mmm and away we go, jingle, jingle
Well, he walked up to me and he asked me if I wanted to dance
He looked kinda nice and so I said I might take a chance
When he danced he held me tight
And when he walked me home that night
All the stars were shining bright
And then he kissed me
I didn’t know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
Kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you’ll wait for me,
Hold me like you’ll never let me go…
Hold tight, hold tight, a-hold tight, hold tight

Want some sea food mama
It was the third of September.
That day I’ll always remember, yes I will,
‘Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him,
Never heard nothin’ but bad things about him.
Mama, I’m depending on you to tell me the truth–
Mama just hung her head and said, son…
