I'm In Love With Two Sweethearts Composer(s): Elton Box; Desmond Cox; Lewis Ilda Performer(s): Issy Bonn; Harry James
I'm in love with two sweethearts And they're both in love with me I'm in love with two sweethearts And true sweethearts they'll be One is silver, one is gold And I pray that we never may part The silver is old, but just like the gold She'll always be my sweetheart
I'm in love with two sweethearts
Sounds like a confession, doesn't it If you'll bear with me for just a moment I'll explain what I mean when I say that
I'm in love with two sweethearts
They're both very different, but to me
True sweethearts they'll always be
Here's a clue
One is silver while the other is gold And I pray that we never may part
Now do you understand me when I say
That the silver is old, but just like the gold She'll always be my sweetheart
I'm In Love With A Wonderful Guy Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Mary Martin & Mitzi Gaynor and multiple other artists
Nellie: I expect everyone of my crowd to make fun Of my proud protestations of faith in romance And they'll say I'm naïve as a babe to believe Every fable I hear from a person in pants
Fearlessly I'll face them and argue their doubts away Loudly I'll sing about flowers in spring Flatly I'll stand on my little flat feet and say Love is a grand and a beautiful thing! I'm not ashamed to reveal The world famous feelin' I feel
I'm as corny as Kansas in August I'm as normal as blueberry pie No more a smart little girl with no heart I have found me a wonderful guy!
I am in a conventional dither With a conventional star in my eye And you will note there's a lump in my throat When I speak of that wonderful guy!
I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May A cliché comin' true! I'm bromidic and bright As a moon-happy night Pourin' light on the dew!
I'm as corny as Kansas in August High as a flag on the Fourth of July! If you'll excuse an expression I use I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love, I'm in love I'm in love with a wonderful guy!
I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May A cliché comin' true! I'm bromidic and bright As a moon-happy night Pourin' light on the dew!

Girls: I'm in love

Girls: I'm in love

Nellie and Girls: I'm in love with a wonderful guy!
Everybody loves my baby but my baby don't love nobody but me nobody but me Yes everybody wants my baby but my baby don't want nobody but me that's plain to see!

Everybody loves my baby but my baby don't love nobody but me nobody but me Everybody wants my baby but my baby don't want nobody but me that's plain to see!
Now when my baby kisses me upon my rosy cheeks - I just let those kisses be don't wash my face for weeks!

I really shoulda heard From him by now He promised he'd write When things settled down And send me money For a ticket when things got better
And mama I guess He's just workin' hard And you know how Those cowboys are But it's been three weeks And I ain't got a letter
I'm in love and he's in Dallas I'm as blue as a girl can be Is he down there thinkin' about my love Or driftin' away from me? And I'm in love and he's in Dallas And it's not the way it's s'pposed to be Can a promise reach from Texas All the way to Tennesee?
Well I'm in love and he's in Dallas I'm as blue as a girl can be Can a promise reach from Texas All the way to Tennesee?
Everybody Loves A Drinking Man Composer(s): Miller Anderson Performer(s): Savoy Brown
Well my daddy never drank no whiskey He never wet his liver with gin My momma said she loved nobody else But she really loved the drinking man
Respectable though my daddy was Until he heard of mama's sin He drank every drop of liquor in this place And we never saw my daddy again
Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man
Well my uncle was a real good talker He'd talk the beak off a myna bird Until someone dropped a glass of whiskey in his hand He never said another word
Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man

Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man

Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five
Wish they hadn't seen you walk away And heard me beg you "Stay, please stay" Why, why did we choose this crowded place They all know it, 'cause I show it in my face
Everybody knows you said goodbye Everybody knows we're through Now they all can see the tears I cry Running down my face for you

Everybody knows you're tired of me Everybody knows we're through Though I'm on my own I can't be free Baby, I just live for you
Everybody knows you said goodbye Everybody knows we're through Now they all can see the tears I cry Running down my face for you
