The party's over, it's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon And taken the moon away It's time to wind up the masquerade Just make your mind up The piper must be paid
The party's over, the candles flicker and dim You danced and dreamed through the night It seemed to be right just being with him Now you must wake up, all dreams must end Take off your makeup, the party's over It's all over, my friend
The party's over, it's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon And taken the moon away Now you must wake up, all dreams must end Take off your makeup, the party's over It's all over, my friend

When they poured across the border I was cautioned to surrender this I could not do I took my gun and vanished
I have changed my name so often I've lost my wife and children but I have many friends and some of them are with me
An old woman gave us shelter kept us hidden in the garret then the soldiers came she died without a whisper
There were three of us this morning I'm the only one this evening but I must go on the frontiers are my prison
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing through the graves the wind is blowing freedom soon will come then we'll come from the shadows
Les Allemands étaient chez moi ils me dirent, "Signe toi" mais je n'ai pas peur j'ai repris mon arme J'ai changé cent fois de nom j'ai perdu femme et enfants mais j'ai tant d'amis j'ai la France entière Un vieil homme dans un grenier pour la nuit nous a caché les Allemands l'ont pris il est mort sans surprise
(The Germans were at my home They said, "Sign yourself" But I am not afraid I have retaken my weapon I have changed names a hundred times I have lost wife and children But I have so many friends I have all of France An old man, in an attic Hid us for the night The Germans captured him He died without surprise)
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing through the graves the wind is blowing freedom soon will come then we'll come from the shadows

Personne ne m'a demandé D'où je viens et où je vais Vous qui le savez Effacez mon passage
J'ai changé cent fois de nom J'ai perdu femme et enfants Mais j'ai tant d'amis Et j'ai la France entière
Un vieil homme dans un grenier Pour la nuit nous a cachés Les Allemands l'ont pris Il est mort sans surprise

Le vent souffle sur les tombes La liberté reviendra On nous oubliera Nous rentrerons dans l'ombre

En ze kwamen hier in zwermen Ik, gemaand tot overgave, ik gaf mezelf niet aan Ik greep mijn wapen en verdween Vaak ben ik van naam veranderd Vrouw en kind heb ik verloren Vrienden heb ik veel, en sommige zijn bij me Een oude vrouw bood ons bescherming Ze verborg ons op haar zolder Toen kwamen zij eraan Zonder een woord is ze gestorven Nog drie van ons vanmorgen Nu, vanavond, ik alleen, en ik moet door Gevangen tussen grenzen De wind huilt kil over de velden Graven huiveren in stormen, maar de vrijheid komt En dan komen wij tevoorschijn
Les allemands étaient chez moi Ils me dirent résigne-toi Mais, je nai pas peur Jai perdu femme et enfants Mais jai tant damis Jai la France entière Un vieil homme dans un grenier Pour la nuit a caché Les Allemands lont pris Il est mort sans surprise
Oh, de wind huilt kil over de velden Graven huiveren in stormen, maar de vrijheid komt En dan komen we te voorschijn
The Parson Of Puddle Composer(s): Greatrex 'Rex' Newman Performer(s): Stanley Holloway
In the sweet little, neat little Only one street little Parish of Puddle Oer which I preside There dwells a young lady whose name is OGrady prefixed by the Christian names Caroline Sady And rumour has stated The facts circulated That she is as thin as a lath And Im bound to admit That she is every bit For I saw her today in her bath... chair and noticed the fact plain to see O lack a day, O lack a day, O lack a day me
In the high little Spry little, feel rather dry little Parish of Puddle Oer which I preside We had a school outing With races and shouting For little girl guides and little boys scouting And when all the teachers Were cooling their features With something that fizzed in a glass One said Dont you think Youd like something to drink I said Yes, I should like a small Bass... -ket of strawberries With cream and some tea
In the bright little Tight little, stay out all night little Parish of Puddle Oer which I preside It fell to my duty To wed a stage beauty To one of the Air Forces second leftooty In every relation Showed great jubilation When just as a twelve month had run One fine Wednesday night With the greatest delight She presented her spouse with a son... Day school hymn book That cost One and three
In the blank little, swank little, two pubs and bank little Parish of Puddle o'er which I preside A spinster named Mary Once opened a dairy And as new laid eggs, seemed to be necessary She purchased some hens In most beautiful pens But when egg collecting she went She found with dismay That those birds could not lay For each of those fowls was a gentle... and shy little rooster you see O lack a day, O lack a day, O lack a day me
The Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers Composer(s): Leon Jessel - Ballard MacDonald Performer(s): Shirley Temple
The toy shop door is locked up tight And ev'rything is quiet for the night When suddenly the clock strikes twelve The fun's begun The dolls are in their best array There's going to be a wonderful parade " Hark to the drum, oh, here they come" Cries ev'ryone Hear them all cheering Now they are nearing There's the captain stiff as starch Bayonets flashing Music is crashing As the wooden soldiers march Sabers a-clinking Soldiers a-winking At each pretty little maid Here they come! Here they come! Here they come! Here they come! Wooden soldiers on parade

Hey, Abe, do you think thats our fire they go to? Shut your face, you fool Our fire aint till Tuesday
Hello, hello, darling wifey, I wont be home till late this evening, spending an evening with a sick friend
Alright, dear, dont keep her out too late
Let all us musical people Sing like the bells in the steeple Ding, dong, ding Simply chime in the chorus and sing, sing, sing
The Parachute Jump Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David Performer(s): Dean Martin
The parachute jump The parachute jump It's thrilling to do a dance that's new The parachute jump
When the music begins to ride Then you begin to glide Bouncing from side to side The parachute jump
You leap into space Smile on your face What'd you know, down there below The world is in place
Hold it steady so you won't slip Attaboy, let 'er rip Then you begin to dip The parachute jump
You dance and while you dance Angels are singing songs from high in the blue You dance, so high a dance Suddenly Heaven's doors are open to you
You sway and as you sway All of your dreams, it seems, are comin' true You whirl into a spin, loving the spin you're in When you do, do, do The parachute jump The parachute jump You drop and you drop And pop, you stop and land with a bump
If you really would like to fly Feel like a bird on high Take my advice and try The parachute jump The parachute jump (The parachute jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump) (Jump, Jump!)
Dean Marin & Chorus: The parachute jump The parachute jump You wanta fly like a bird in the sky Then you'd better try The parachute jump

They took away the whole Cherokee nation And put us on this reservation

Beautiful molars... Lovely bicuspids... I'm Dr. Prentice, the painless dentist By that what's meant is It really doesn't hurt This is Miss Klinger; you've met her finger So open wide, and Miss Klinger will squirt Well, well, I say there We've got decay there Can't let it stay there and cause you all that pain So please Miss Klinger, remove your finger And won't you hand me down my Novocaine It's far worse than I thought it was My charge is gonna be large Don't be unwilling It's just a filling I'm simply drilling to dig a little pit Don't fight Miss Klinger, or bite her finger And now while I change the drill you can spit I hum while you're bleeding It takes your mind off The things I grind off Your gums are receding You'll have to come back We'll build that gum back And now if you will open wide Miss Klinger's gonna put her whole darn fist inside That's it... now it's over They'll be a puffiness around your cheeks You'll have to eat soft food for three more weeks And if you'll kindly stop those ghastly shrieks I'm through Beautiful molars... Lovely bicuspids... By Dr. Prentice!
