When they begin the beguine, it brings back the sound of music so tender, It brings back a night of tropical splendor, it brings back a memory ever green. I'm with you once more under the stars, and down by the shore an orchestra's playing Even the palms seem to be swaying, when they begin the beguine. To live it again is past all endeavor, except when that tune clutches my heart, And there we are, swearing to love forever, and promising never, never to part. What moments divine, what rapture serene, Till clouds come along to disperse the joys we had tasted, And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, I know but too well what they mean. So don't let them begin the beguine, let the love that was once a fire remain an ember; Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember when they begin the beguine. Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play, Till the stars that were there before return above you, Till you whisper to me once more, Darling, I love you! And we suddenly know what heaven we're in, when they begin the beguine When they begin the beguine. |

If I don't see her each day, I miss her
Gee what a thrill, each time I kiss her Believe me, I've got a case On Nancy, with the laughing face She takes the winter and she makes it summer And summer could take a few lessons from her Picture a tomboy in lace That's Nancy with the laughing face Have you ever heard mission bells ringing Well she'll give you the very same glow When she speaks you would think it was singing Just hear her say "hello" I swear to goodness, you can't resist her Sorry for you she has no sister No angel could replace Nancy, with the laughing face |

O give me a home where the buffaloes roam
Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day: Home, home on the range, Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a di |

There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far, over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye, but very wise was he And then one day, a magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings This he said to me: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return" <instrumental interlude> "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return" |

We ought to bake a sunshine cake, It does more good than a big thick steak, (Start with a tablespoon of trouble,) (Then add a smile and let it bubble off.) [We ought to bake a sunshine cake] (It isn't really so hard to make) Fresh tears upon the tomb of pleasure, (Kind words you needn't use a major cut) It's not from a recipe book, You don't have to be a good cook. (Or run to the oven and look) [With such a simple dish, all you do is wish.] [So why not bake a sunshine cake,] Of course it may keep your dreams awake. Friends say there's nothing like the flavor, Don't wait to do your friends a favor, [And for goodness sake, let's bake a sunshine cake.] It's got vitamins A, vitamins B (Vitamins L-O-V-E) If you're fat, it's for that, (If you're thin, stuff it in) [What's wrong if you get a lot of grin,] [We ought to bake a sunshine cake.] <musical interlude> It's not from a recipe book (You don't have to be a good cook.) [Or run to the oven and look] [With such a simple dish, all you do is wish.] [So why not bake a sunshine cake,] [Of course it may be your dreams awake,] Friends say there ain't nothing like the flavor, (Don't wait to do your friends a favor.) [And for goodness sake, let's bake a sunshine cake.] |

I met her dancing to the Castle Rock,
I held her tight and danced around the clock We rocked to romance to the Castle Rock, She kissed me and I kissed my heart goodbye. I felt like I was drifting 'cross the sky. We rocked to heaven to the Castle Rock. Music was soft and low, setting me all aglow, Holding it to my heart, how could I dream we'd part. Suddenly she was gone, leaving me dreaming on, Now everytime they play the Castle Rock, I'll take myself a walk around the block. Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock. (Go get em, Harry [James], for old time's sake) I'm mad at dancing to the Castle Rock, I held her tight and danced around the clock. We rocked to romance to the Castle Rock. Now everytime they play the Castle Rock, I'll take myself a walk around the block, Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock. Till she comes back to dance the Castle Rock. |
