Now is the time for it
While we are young

Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it
While we are young

Britta
Britta
Composer(s): Evert Taube
Performer(s): Evert Taube
Ja, det brevet, den som skrev det, hon har vilat i min famn
Det var Britta (jag nämner inte något efternamn)
Det kan kvitta, skriver Britta, om jag vänta får ett år
när jag vet att ditt hjärta för mig slår
Du som sovit i halm och som vaknat i kvalm
Och som sjunger i soluppgången krigarn's morgonpsalm
där i ledet du går, där du spejande står
tänk på Britta som snart du kyssa får
Hör soldaterna, kamraterna med knatter och med knall
hör, på fält och i skogar tonar truppens glada trall
Över krigarna på stigarna och lottorna i byn
stiger flyget som örnar emot skyn
Du som sovit i halm och som vaknat i kvalm
Och som sjunger i soluppgången krigarn's morgonpsalm
där i ledet du går, där du spejande står
tänk på Britta som snart du kyssa får
Kan du hitta, skriver Britta, en som har dig mera kär?
Kan du drömma hur ömma mina känslor för dig är?
Som den bölja du ser skölja stranden av vårt fria land
smyger Britta sig mjukt uti din famn
Du som sovit i halm och som vaknat i kvalm
Och som sjunger i soluppgången krigarn's morgonpsalm
där i ledet du går, där du spejande står
tänk på Britta som snart du kyssa får

Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First performance: Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists
There may be trouble ahead
But while there's music and moonlight
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill
And while we still have that chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon
Humming a different tune, and then
There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's music and moonlight
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance

British Grenadier Guards
British Grenadier Guards
(Traditional)
Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these
But of all the world’s great heroes
There’s none that can compare
With a tow, row row row, row row row
To the British Grenadiers
None of these ancient heroes ne’er saw a cannon ball
Nor knew the force of powder to slay their foes with all
But our brave boys do know it and banish all their fears
Sing tow, row row row, row row row
For the British Grenadiers
When e’er we are commanded to storm the palisades
Our leaders march with fuses, and we with hand grenades
We throw them from the glacis about the enemies’ ears
Sing tow, row row row, row row row
For the British Grenadiers
And when the siege is over, we to the town repair
The townsmen cry ‘Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier’
Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears
Sing tow, row row row, row row row
For the British Grenadiers
So let us fill a bumper, and drink a health to those
Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the louped clothes
May they and their commanders live happy all their years
Sing tow, row row row, row row row
For the British Grenadiers

Beware of a gal in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o
Never trust no gal in britches
No-di-o-di-o
If you had a sense of this here horse
You would have known it by now of course
Who wears the britches is the boss
That's a gal, that's a gal in britches
Don't mess with a gal in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o
No feminine gal wears britches
No-di-o-di-o
She'll beg you to come to the country dance
You ride twenty miles for the big romance
She shows up in her brother's pants
What'd you expect from a girl in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o-i-ay, It's none of my misfortune
Yo-di-o-di-o-di-ay, Just
thought you'd like to know
Don't marry no gal in britches
Yo-di-o-di-o
You'll never know which is which's
No-di-o-di-o
She'll put a halter through your nose
Have you cooking and washing clothes
While she goes chasing them buffaloes
Bet your boots, that's a gal in britches

Let's Have Another Cup O' Coffee
Let's Have Another Cup O' Coffee
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First performance/First recording by:
J. Harold Murray & Katherine Carrington - 1932/Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians - 1932
and multiple other artists
Why worry when skies are gray
Why should we complain
Let's laugh at the cloudy day
Let's sing in the rain
Songwriters say the storm quickly passes
That's their philosophy
They see the world through rose-colored glasses
Why shouldn't we?
Just around the corner
There's a rainbow in the sky
So let's have another cup o' coffee
And let's have another piece o' pie!
Trouble's just a bubble
And the clouds will soon roll by
So let's have another cup o' coffee
And let's have another piece o' pie
Let a smile be your umbrella
For it's just an April show'r
Even John D. Rockefeller
Is looking for the silver lining
Mister Herbert Hoover
Says that now's the time to buy
So let's have another cup o' coffee
And let's have another piece o' pie!
[Alternate Lines:]
Things that really matter
Are the things that gold can't buy

Quand c'est tout gris dans ta tête
Choisi les pôles où tu veux te poser
Sans défense
Laisse faire la musique et danse
Avant la fin de la fête
Avant que les musiciens ne filent
Ou changent de style
Prends ta chance
Laisse faire la musique et danse
Toutes les pauvres peines d'amour
Il faudrait plus d'un tour d'enfer
Pour que tes chagrins s'arrêtent
Choisi les pôles où tu veux te poser
sans défense
Laisse faire la musique et danse
Laisse faire la musique et danse
Avant que les musiciens ne filent
Ou changent de style
Laisse faire la musique et danse
Toutes les pauvres peines d'amour
Il faudrait plus d'un tour d'enfer
Pour que tes chagrins s'arrêtent
Choisi les pôles où tu veux te poser
sans défense
Laisse faire la musique et danse

Birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it

In Spain the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and Letts do it

The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Finns
Folks in Siam do it
Think of Siamese twins
Some Argentines, without means do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Romantic sponges they say do it
Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Electric eels, I might add, do it
Though it shocks 'em I know
Why ask if shad do it
Waiter, bring me shadroe
In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Brisbane Ladies
Brisbane Ladies
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Hoyt Axton & Jim McGuinn
Farewell and adieu to you, Brisbane ladies
Farewell and adieu, you maids of Toowong
We've sold all our cattle and we have to get a-movin'
But we hope we shall see you again before long
Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Queensland drovers
We'll rant and we'll roar as onward we push
Until we return to the Augathella station
Oh, it's flamin' dry goin' through the old Queensland bush
Chorus
The maids of Toomancie they look so entrancing
Like bawling young heifers they're out for their fun
With the waltz and the polka and all kinds of dancing
To the rackety old banjo of Henry Gunn
Chorus
Then on to Nanango, that hard-bitten township
Where the out-of-work station-hands sit in the dust
Where the shearers get shorn by old Tim, the contractor
Oh, I wouldn't go near there, but I flaming well must!
Chorus
Then fill up your glasses, and drink to the lasses
We'll drink this town dry, then farewell to them all
And when we've got back to the Augathella Station
We hope you'll come by there and pay us a call
Chorus

Composer(s): Phil Cokell; Phillip Goodhand-Tait
Performer(s): The Love Affair; Steve Ellis
Since you went away I've been losing my sleep at night
Never thought there 'd come a day
when you'd be back to make everything right
but how wrong could I be
'Cos now you're here with me
Bringing on back the good times
taking away the pain
You're bringing on back the good times
and I'm living on air
So glad that you're there
sweeping away the sad times
making me laugh again
I've never been loved by anybody
that's quite like you
So when you're telling me
of all the things you want me to do
now you've made me see
what you mean to me
You're bringing on back ....

They used to rag up the jazz on pianos
Let's do it again.
They used to sing yes we have no bananas
Let's do it again

In nineteen twenty four

Would try to knock his cymbal on the floor
They used to do-wack-a-do-wack-a-do-wah
Let's do it again
They used to bo-do-de-o-bo-de-o-doh
Let's do it again

And wobble like a jelly on a plate
They used to get such a kick out o' livin'
Let's do it again

Let's do it again
They used to bo-do-de-o-bo-de-o-doh

Bringing Mary Home
Bringing Mary Home
Composer(s): John Duffey; Joe Kingston; Chaw Mank
Performer(s): The Country Gentlemen
and various other artists
I was driving down a lonely road, on a dark and stormy night
A little girl by the roadside showed up in my head lights
I stopped and she got inside and in a shaky tone
She said my name is Mary, please won't you take me home
She must have been so frightened, all alone there in the night
There was something strange about her, for her face was deathly white
She sat so pale and quite in the back seat all alone
I never will forget the night, I took Mary home
I pulled into the driveway, where she told me to go
Got out to help her from the car, opened up the door
I just could not believe my eyes, the back seat was bare
I looked all around the car, but Mary wasn't there
A light shone from the porch, someone opened up the door
I asked about the little girl was looking for
Then the lady gently smiled, brushed the tears away
She said it sure was nice of you to go out of your way
But thirteen years ago today, in a wreck just down the road
Our darling Mary lost her life, how we miss her so
Thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shown
You're the 13th one that's been here bringing Mary home

Bringing In The Sheaves
Bringing In The Sheaves
Composer(s): Knowles Shaw; George A. Minor
Performer(s): Rose Maddox
Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows
Fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze
By and by the harvest, and the labor ended
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master
Though the loss sustained our spirit often grieves
When our weeping's over, He will bid us welcome
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
