Oh, How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning
Oh, How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Irving Berlin;
and various other artists
The other day I chanced to meet
a soldier friend of mine
He’d been in camp for sev’ral weeks
and he was looking fine
His muscles had developed and his cheeks were rosy red
I asked him how he liked the life, and this is what he said
“Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning
Oh! how I’d love to remain in bed
For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call
You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up
You’ve got to get up this morning!
Some day I’m going to murder the bugler
Some day they’re going to find him dead
I’ll amputate his reveille, and step upon it heavily
And spend the rest of my life in bed"
“Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning
Oh! how I’d love to remain in bed
For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call
You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up
You’ve got to get up this morning!
Oh! boy the minute the battle is over
Oh! boy the minute the foe is dead
I'll put my uniform away, and move to Philadelphia
And spend the rest of my life in bed"
A bugler in the army is the luckiest of men
He wakes the boys at five and then goes back to bed again
He doesn’t have to blow again until the afternoon
If ev’ry thing goes well with me I'll be a bugler soon
“Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning
Oh! how I’d love to remain in bed
For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call
You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up
You’ve got to get up this morning!
Some day I’m going to murder the bugler
Some day they’re going to find him dead
I’ll amputate his reveille, and step upon it heavily
And spend the rest of my life in bed"
“Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning
Oh! how I’d love to remain in bed
For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call
You’ve got to get up, you’ve got to get up
You’ve got to get up this morning!
Oh! boy the minute the battle is over
Oh! boy the minute the foe is dead
I'll put my uniform away, and move to Philadelphia
And spend the rest of my life in bed"

Mama Used To Say
Composer(s): Bob Carter; Junior Giscombe
Originally performed by: Junior Giscombe
Ooh
Yeah, girl
Said a small boy once asked
When will I grow up
When will I see what grownups do see...
In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age
To be recognized is when I'm not unmasked
And mama used to say
Take your time, young man...
Mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old...
Mama used to say
Take it in your stride...
Mama used to say
Live your life...
As the years went rushin' by he would cut down on his age
He would tell his girl of how it used to be
How his mommy passed away, but these lines she would say
And at the time he couldn't understand
Mama used to say
Take your time, young man...
Mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old...
Mama used to say
Take it in your stride...
Mama used to say
Live your life...
You're young, so young, don't hold on back
Do all you want to do
Now is the time for you to stride
For you to get better in what you are doin', oh
Now is the time for you to stride
For you to get better in what you are doin', oh
A small boy once asked
When will I grow up
When will I see what grownups do see ...
In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age
To be recognized is when I'm not unmasked
And mama used to say
Take your time, young man ...
Mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old ...
Mama used to say
Take it in your stride ...
Mama used to say
Live your life, live your life, live your life, oh ...
Hey, mama used to say
Take your time, young man ...
Mama used to say
Don't you rush to get old ...
Mama used to say
Take it in your stride ...

Originally performed by: The Animals
Covered by various other artists
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions you're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights `cause I don't wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't to have fun, no, uh-uh
Open up your window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smokin'
Don't scare me half to death
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't to have fun, son
That ain't to have fun, son
The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend, she's passed out on the floor
I've seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is, I don't wanna see it no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said that ain't to have fun, son
That ain't to have fun, son
That ain't to have fun, no
That ain't to have fun, son

A garland of lilies, a gift of red roses
A little straw hat to set off the blue ribbons

Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Oh, dear! What can the matter be?

Mama Sang A Song
Mama Sang A Song
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson
and various other artists
(God put a song in the heart of an angel)
(And softly she sang it to me)
I get to thinking lots of times
About back when I was a lad
Of the old homeplace where I grew up
Of the days both good and bad
My overalls were hand-me-downs
My shoes were full of holes
I used to walk four miles to school every day
Through the rain, the sleet and the cold
I've seen the nights when my daddy would cry
For the things that his family would need
But all he ever got was a badland farm
And seven hungry mouths to feed
And yet, and yet our homefire never flickered once
Cause when all these things went wrong
Mama took the hymn book down
And mama sang a song
(What a friend we have in Jesus)
I've been rocked to sleep many a night
To the tune of ''What a Friend''
And come morning ''Rock of Ages''
Would wake me gently once again
And when daddy would reach up and he'd take the Bible down
And he'd read it, read it loud and long
And I always felt that maybe our house was blessed
When daddy would say mama sing a song
Sister left home first I guess and then Bob
And then Tommy and then Dan
By then dad's hair was turning white
And I had to be mama's little man
But it seemed that as daddy's back grew weak
My mother's faith just grew strong
And those were the greatest days of all
When mama sang a song
(Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee)
I guess the house is still standing
I don't get to go back much anymore
No voice is left to fill those halls
And no steps to grace the floor
For you see my mother sings in heaven now
Around God's golden throne
But I'll always believe that this world is a better place
Because one time my mama sang a song
(Precious mem'ries flod my soul) ...

You think I don’t love you, oh but I do
How can I show that I do?

Though I get light-hearted, too
First I’m singing then I’m sighing
Then I’m flying high above
You think I don’t know why, oh but I do
I know that it’s you I love
First I’m singing then I’m sighing
Then I’m flying so high above
You think I don’t know why, oh but I do
I know that it’s you I love

She's a town with a heart
Just the place for the start of amoré
(Mama Roma, Mama)
For the old tidal shores
See the young by the score from each doorway
(Mama Roma, Mama)
Mama Roma has eyes
That were burned from the skies of amoré
Mama Roma takes care
Just to lead them to their one and only
On a strada in Rome
I was walkin' alone
It was Springtime
(Mama Roma, Mama)
Like a soft-hearted Mama
The City took pity on me
Soon a voice, oh so tender and dulcé
Was saying "Ti amo"
(I love you, I love you)
Like a dream comin' true
Mama Roma had sent me to you
(Mama Roma, Mama)

It was just a ride on a train
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a trip to the stars
To venus and mars
'Cause you were on the train with me
And when I kissed you, Darling
It was more than just a thrill for me
It was the promise, Darling
Of the things that fate had willed for me
It was just a wedding in june
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a royal affair
With everyone there
'Cause you said "Yes, I do" to me

Composer(s): Tutti Camarata
Performer(s): Annette Funicello
A lovely senorina from old Italy
came to our shores and raised a family
She learned from her mother that cooking was an art
And when you came to dinner, this is how her meal would start
She brought us...
Antipasta, minestrone, linguine marinara
Pastacholi, gorgonzole, squigini, bakalava
Ravioli, pizza roll, it really was a treat
Then she'd say "Mangia, mangia - Eat, my children, eat!"
Hey!
Mama, Mama Rosa
We love the way you look!
Ma-ma-ma Mama, Mama Rosa
and we love the way you cook!
Ma-ma-ma-ma Mama, Mama Rosa
We love your macaroni
But Mama Mama Rosa
Where's the spumoni?
Mangia, mangia, mangia, mangia!
But she brought...
Chicken cacciatore, and a dish of scallopini
Seven kinds of sauces on a plate of spagatini
Half a dozen courses of her home made sazich
Then she said "Mangia mangia - Eat, my children, eat"
Hey!
Mama, Mama Rosa
We love the way you look!
Oh Mama, Mama Mama Rosa
And we love the way you cook!
Ma-ma-ma-ma Mama, Mama Rosa
We love your macaroni
But Mama, Mama Rosa
Where's the spumoni?
Mangia, mangia, mangia, mangia!
But she brought...
Pears and peaches, pomegranates, a slice of provolone
Fresh spinoki, artichokes, rigata with pinole
Candy maraschino, with some chocolatino sweet
Then she said "Mangia, mangia - Eat, my children, eat"
Hey!
Mama, Mama Rosa
Bring us our spumoni!
Mama, Mama Rosa
We've had our macaroni!

Composer(s): Cohan; Edgar Leslie;
Bert Kalmar; Pete Wendling
Performer(s): Mitch Miller
Mary o' mine, Mary o' mine
Grew like a rose in a bower
Bloomed for a day
Faded away
I lost a beautiful flower
Sweetheart and friend, right to the end
That's why I miss her so
Mary o' mine, Mary o' mine
My little playmate of childhood
Symbol of love
Sent from above
Staunch as an oak in the wildwood
Mem'ries of old, purer than gold
Fill me with love sublime
Oh! what a gal was Mary
Oh! what a pal was she
An angel was born on Easter morn
and God sent her down to me
Heart of my heart was Mary
Soul of my soul divine
Though she is gone, love lingers on
for Mary old pal of mine

Oh! It's A Lovely War
Oh! It's A Lovely War
Oh, oh, oh, it's a lovely war
Who wouldn't be a soldier, eh?
Oh, it's a shame to take the pay
As soon as reveille is gone
We feel just as heavy as lead
But we never get up till the sergeant
Brings us breakfast up to bed
Oh, oh, oh, it's a lovely war
What do we want with eggs and ham
When we've got plum and apple jam?
Form fours, right turn
How shall we spend the money we earn?
Oh, oh, oh, it's a lovely war
Upo to your waist in water
Up to your eyes in slush
Using the kind of language,
That makes the sergeant blush
Who wouldn't join the army?
That's what we all inquire
Don't we pity the poor civilian
Sitting beside the fire
Oh, oh, oh, it's a lovely war
Who wouldn't be a soldier, eh?
Oh, it's a shame to take the pay
As sonn as reveille is gone
We feel just as heavy as lead
But we never get up till the sergeant
Brings us breakfast up to bed
Oh, oh, oh, it's a lovely war
What do we want with eggs and ham
When we've got plum a nd apple jam?
Form fours, right turn
How shall we spend the money we earn?
Oh, oh, oh, it's a lovely war

Mama Liked The Roses
Composer(s): Johnny Christopher
Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Oh, mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard
But Winter always came around
and made the growing way too hard
Oh, mama liked the roses and when she had the time
She'd decorate the living room, for all us kids to see
When I hear the Sunday bells ringing in the morning
I remember crying when she used to sing
Oh, mama liked the roses but most of all she cared
About the way we learned to live
And if we said our prayers
You know I kept the family bible
With a rose that she saved inside
It was pressed between the pages
Like it had found a place to hide
Oh, mama liked the roses in such a special way
We bring them every Mother's Day
And put them on her grave
Oh, mama liked the roses Mmmm
Mama liked the roses

Say a word for jimmy brown
He ain’t got nothing at all
Not a shirt right of his back
He ain’t got nothing at all
And say a word for ginger brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right of his feet
To poor boy right out in the street
And this is what he said
Oh sweet nuthin’
She ain’t got nothing at all
Oh sweet nutin’
She ain’t got nothing at all
Say a word for polly may
She can’t tell the night from the day
They threw her out in the street
But just like a cat she landed on her feet
And say a word for joanna love
She ain’t got nothing at all
’cos everyday she falls in love
And everynight she falls when she does
She said
Oh sweet nuthin’
You know she ain’t got nothing at all
Oh sweet nutin’

Oh let me hear you!
Say a word for jimmy brown

Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right of his feet
To poor boy right out in the street
And this is what he said
