1932 Selection of Popular Song and Dance Hits

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 May 2004

The Queen was in the parlour
having such a tea!
eating bread and honey
very happy was she!
The King was in the courtyard
waiting for the Queen,
Queen was in the parlour
and she wouldn't be seen.
The King, the Troops,
the Court and the Heralds,
the entire parade.
The Queen's delayed.
King remarked:
"It's that bread and honey,
when she starts on that,
her appetite's enormous."
The Queen was in the parlour
simply full of bliss
eating bread and honey
so they had to dismiss.

You used to be my sweetheart,
I loved you to the end
and when I lost you sweetheart
I thought you'd be my friend.
But you pass me without even smiling,
how can my broken heart ever mend?
You used to be my sweetheart
but now you're not even my friend.

Just to possess you
My Life's Desire.
Just to caress you
My Life's Desire.
Just in my arms to enfold you,
and to my heart closely hold you.
Sharing your gladness
My Life's Desire,
bearing your sadness
I'd never tire.
Just to be near to,
protect and revere you
is my Life's Desire.

What's the excitement today at the Zoo?
There seems to be such a terrible todo.
What's the procession that's come in to view?
Why the Penguins are all out strolling!
See how they wobble all over the place,
Scarcely a picture of "Dignity and Grace!"
Even the Owl has a smile on his face,
when the Penguins are out patrolling.
FlipFlap! FlipFlap!
LeftRight! LeftRight!
Smiling kiddies march behind them.
LeftRight! LeftRight!
FlipFlap! FlipFlap!
Animals laugh tho' it's rather unkind.
Big laughing Jackass goes off into shrieks.
Lions simply roar,
and the little rabbit squeaks.
Do come and watch the Parade of the Freaks!
When the Penguins are out Patrolling.

You can't cuddle sitting in a puddle,
on a cold and frosty morning!
You and Nellie shiver like a jelly,
on a cold and frosty morning.
She might slip, and so might you,
you might break your engagement, too!
You can't get thrilly
when your feet are chilly,
on a cold and frosty morning.

Down beside the mill
I wander still and always will
by its rippling stream we lov'd
just you and I.
Down beside the mill
I knew the thrill of living till
thro' a world of grey
I heard you say Goodbye.
My heart is with you still,
where e'er you be,
Across the distant hill.
Down beside the mill
I wander still, and always will
wander all alone, alone beside the mill.

When Joey did his clowning,
the Soul of Pantomime.
In dear old days that belong to
the land of "OnceUponATime."
The world has sadly altered,
the curtain's long been down
on poor old Joey that made us all laugh,
on dear old Joey the Clown.

Mademoiselle smiles, Mademoiselle laughs,
Mademoiselle winks her eye. La! La! La! La!
Oh! How I love ma cherie!
Mademoiselle loves, Mademoiselle flirts,
Mademoiselle never shy! La! La! La! La!
Oh! How I love ma cherie.
When along the boulevarde
with mam'selle I am seen
Do the fellows envy me
my Empress Josephine!
Oui! Mademoiselle smiles,
Mademoiselle laughs,
Mademoiselle winks her eye. La! La! La! La!
Oh! How I love ma cherie!

Come! Come children tell me now,
Does a 'Dogfish' go 'Bowwow?'
Please Teacher! Please Teacher,
we don't jolly well know.
Come, come children tell me please
How 'High' is a Stilton Cheese?
Please Teacher! Please Teacher,
we don't jolly well know.
Come out Johnny Green,
you're a saucy chap.
Bend Over! Bend Over!
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Don't you know that you're in school?
Do you think that I'm a fool?
Please Teacher! Please Teacher,
we don't jolly well know.

What would it matter
if skies hold no sunshine
when I have the light of your smile?
What would it matter
if birds ceased their song,
when I hear your voice
all the while?
Tho' flow'rs fail to blossom
and stars cease to shine,
beauty around I should see.
Dearest what would it matter?
As long as you love me,
the world would still go on for me.

All the little ducks in the duck pond,
All the little cows in the cow shed,
all the little chicks in the henroost
Oh they all make love to me.
All the little bees in the beehive,
all the little sheep in the sheeppen,
all the little pigs in the pigsty,
oh they all make love to me.
Ev'ry little chicken
loves a cockadoodledoo,
ev'ry little gander
makes some goose go goosey too.
All the little ducks in the pigpond,
all the little cows in the duckshed,
all the little hens in the cowroost,
oh they all make love but me.

One for all and all for one,
that's the way it can be done.
Prosperity will soon be here again.
We don't want another war,
but this is worth while fighting for,
Prosperity will soon be here again.
There's a saying true without a doubt,
you may be down but you're never out
Don't let others bother you,
doff your coat and follow thro'
Prosperity will soon be here again.
