I'm Goin' To Settle Down Outside Of London Town (When I'm Dry, Dry Dry) Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Joe McCarthy Performer(s): Irving Kaufman
America, I must say I love you You're more than a mother to me And although I must stray, I must go away Still my home you will always be So goodbye, I am leaving you soon I must sail with the last day of June
I'm goin' to settle down, outside of London Town Down in a village by the sea And you will find me there with the country air Where everything is free And when I'm over there My heart will still be here And I hate to say "Goodbye" But I'm a man who must have a little liquor when I'm dry, dry dry
America, you're such a young nation You are just like a big bouncing boy You've been happy and gay, I loved you that way Your freedom the world could enjoy I am sorry to leave you behind I'll come back here when you've changed your mind
I'm goin' to settle down, outside of London Town Down in a village by the sea And you will find me there with the country air Where everything is free And when I'm over there My heart will still be here And I hate to say "Goodbye" But I'm a man who must have a little liquor when I'm dry, dry dry

I'm Going To Climb The Blue Ridge Mountains Back To You Composer(s): Robert Levenson; George B. McConnell
Somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains far above the sad blue sea somewhere there's a heart that's yearning that is where I long to be In my dreams you're near and yet so far I'll come back to where you are
I can see the love light gleaming, guiding me along the way to a little lonely cabin where I'll be with you for aye As we sit beside the cabin door, I'll sing this refrain once more
I'm on my way back to you like the mountains, dear, I know you're blue Tho' the road is hard and long still my love has grown so strong that I'd follow you the whole world through Where the mountains and the skies above are bluer I will find someone I know is truer than skies above pretty mountains rose, doll up in your gingham clothes I'm goin' to climb the Blue Ridge Mountains back to you

I'm going higher, yes higher someday I'm going higher, yes higher to stay Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky Going where none ever sicken or die Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by I'm going higher someday
Often my soul has been lifted above Lost in the ocean of God's mighty love Higher and higher, but once still I say I'm going higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher someday I'm going higher, yes higher to stay Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky Going where none ever sicken or die Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by I'm going higher someday
Soon will the Saviour appear, bless His name And in a moment, we all will be changed Then when he calls for his bright come away We're going higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher someday I'm going higher, yes higher to stay Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky Going where none ever sicken or die Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by I'm going higher and higher and higher
I'm going higher, yes higher someday I'm going higher, yes higher to stay Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky Going were none ever sicken or die Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by I'm going higher someday I'm going higher someday I'm going higher and higher and higher and higher someday Someday
Evening In June Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison
By the light of the moon When the night holds the secrets Of the sleepy lagoon I´m contemplating moonlight On the water When I´m walking with you On an evening in June
On an evening in June It can get so sentimental When I´m thinking of you And I can´t think of anything Except being with you When the summer is through On an evening in June
On an evening in June Well it lifts me up When I´m talking to you On an evening in June When the flowers are in bloom And the sky is so blue
Well there´s so many things Taking place That it´s hard to keep up with it all Keep your eye on the ball And to make the right call When we´re longing for fall On this evening in June
On an evening in June Well it lifts me up When I´m talking to you On an evening in June When the flowers are in bloom And the sky is so blue
Well there´s so many things taking place That it´s hard to keep up with it all Keep your eye on the ball And to make the right call When we´re longing for fall On this evening in June By the sleepy lagoon On an evening in June By the light of the moon By the sleepy lagoon On an evening in June On an evening in June By the sleepy lagoon By the light of the moon By the sleepy lagoon On an evening in June
I'm Going Back To Where I Came From Composer(s): Jessie Mae Robinson Performer(s): Spike Jones
I'm goin' back to where I come from Where the honeysuckle smells so sweet it durn near makes you sick I used to think my life was hum-drum But I sure have leared a lesson that is bound to stick There ain't no use of me pretendin' The city just ain't no place for a guy like me to end in Goin' back to where I come from Where the mockin' bird is singin' in the lilac bush
I used to go down to the station Every evenin' just to watch the Pullman train come rollin' in And then one night, that great temptation Got too great, so I just up and left my kith and kin I took my hat and fourteen dollars And I went through all the troubles of the plight that always follows When you're rich and huntin' romance But my huntin' days are over, I can tell you that
I met a man in Kansas City An' he winked and asked me if I'd like to step around I said "Why, yes, why sure, that's what I'm here for, betcha life" So he said he'd take me to the hottest spots in town He mentioned things he'd have to fix up So he took my fourteen dollars but there must have been a mix up He's been gone since Monday evenin' And I've gotta hunch I'll never see that guy no more
I'm goin' back to where I come from Where the mockin' bird is singin' in the lilac bush
Evenin' Composer(s): Mitchell Parish; Harry White Performer(s): Cab Calloway; and various other artists

Evenin' Let me sleep 'til the gray dawn is breakin', oh yes I don't care if I don't awaken, oh Lord Since my gal she's gone, my baby's gone, oh yes she's gone

Don't ask me why I'm leaving You see I'm not grieving I'm really feeling grand I'm waiting for the train dear that takes me back again dear To sweet old Dixieland I'm thru with all the bright lights The Cafes and the white lights The hurly burly noise of old Broadway I hear that engine puffing Believe me I'm not bluffing good bye, I'm on my way

In this world of ordinary people Extraordinary people I'm glad there is you In this world of overrated pleasures Of underrated treasures I'm glad there is you I live to love, I love to live With you beside me This role so new I'll muddle through With you to guide me In this world where many, many play at love And hardly any stay in love I'm glad there is you More than ever I'm glad there is you

Even Now Composer(s): Marty Panzer; Barry Manilow Performer(s): Barry Manilow
Even now when there's someone else who cares When there's someone home who's waiting just for me Even now I think about you as I'm climbing' up the stairs And I wonder what to do so she won't see that
Even now when I know it wasn't right And I've found a better life than what we had Even now I wake up crying in the middle of the night And I can't believe it still could hurt so bad
Even now when I have come so far I wonder where you are, I wonder why it's still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through, I swear I think of you And how I wish you knew, even now
Even now when I never hear your name And the world has changed so much since you've been gone Even now I still remember and the feelings still the same And this pain inside of me goes on and on, even now
Even now when I have come so far I wonder where you are I wonder why it's still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining' through I swear I think of you and God, I wish you knew Somehow, even now
I'm Glad That I'm Bugs Bunny Composer(s): Alan Livingston; Warren Foster; Mike Maltese; Billy May Performer(s): Mel Blanc
I got big funny ears, they are so long and flat They are the very reasons I never wear a hat My teeth stick out in front Like pickets in a fence And as far as riches go, I'm not worth two cents
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny? No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Suppose I was an Elephant, then I'd be really sunk For every place I'd ever go, I'd have to take my trunk! Suppose I was a Zebra, with stripes from head to tail I'd bet they'd think that I'd escaped, and throw me back in jail!
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny? No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Suppose I was a tall Giraffe, and swallowed carrots, yummy! With that long neck, I'd surely starve before they reached my tummy Suppose I was a big fat pig I might as well be frank I wouldnt care to end up as some kiddies piggy bank
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny? No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Whats up, Doc?
Suppose I was a smelly skunk, I wouldnt have a friend Id be alone excepting for, A cent I couldnt spend Suppose I was a Gator in the swamps where time would drag Until the day when Id be made into a travelling bag
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny? No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Suppose I was a turkey then Id end up on a tray In the middle of the table on the next Thanksgiving Day Suppose I was a Bullfrog, croaking out a not Id dread the time when I would be, a frog in someones throat!
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny? No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
