The Sweetest Melody Of All
Composer(s): Grant Clarke - Jimmie V. Monaco



When I was born I had an ear for music, I loved sweet lullabies
And every morn' when I would hear sweet music, I'd open up my eyes
Father bought a baby grand, I learned to play it with one hand
Music always made me gay 
And I'm the same today

Down in the hall we've got a pianola 
It's going night and day
And that's not all 
We bought a new victrola 
To make the servants stay 
All the kids have tuneful toys 
Or anything for nifty noise
Tho' grandmother's eighty three 
She sings close harmony

I love to hear sweet melodies, I love the song birds in the trees
I love an opera grand 
A big brass band 
Or any little tune from Dixie land
I love to hear the bugle call 
For any tune I'm bound to fall
But to hear a little baby calling you papa 
That's the sweetest melody of all

I love to hear sweet melodies, I love the song birds in the trees
I love an opera grand 
A big brass band 
Or any little tune from Dixie land
I love to hear the bugle call 
For any tune I'm bound to fall
But to hear a little baby calling you mama 
That's the sweetest melody of all
