All Hit Selection 1932 Irving King

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 13 May 2004

I'm so in love with Mary,
I'm bored to tears with Rose,
Rose is the one who loves me;
Ain't that the way it goes?
I dance my best with Mary,
I step on Rose's toes,
Rose says I dance divinely,
ain't that the way it goes?
What a fix! Oh gee!
I'm in an awful tight one!
Poor unlucky me!
I'm in wrong with the right one,
I get the air from Mary;
I get the "turnedup nose,"
and I still care for Mary;
ain't that the way it goes?

Red, Red, Roses,
and pale white moonlight,
and someone who's blue.
Parting in so lovely a setting,
makes it so hard forgetting,
And tho' my way along life's highway
will not be near you,
I'll still see Red, Red Roses,
and pale white moonlight
and someone I left blue.

Maybe I'm right,
and maybe I'm wrong,
and maybe I'm weak
and maybe I'm strong:
but Nevertheless I'm in love with you.
Maybe I'll win
and maybe I'll lose,
and maybe I'm in;
for cryin' the blues:
but Nevertheless, I'm in love with you.
Somehow, I know at a glance,
the terrible chances I'm taking:
fine at the start,
then left with a heart that is breaking.
Maybe I'll live a life of regret,
and maybe I'll give much more than I get;
but Nevertheless, I'm in love with you.

Do you want a big surprise?
Do you want to see two eyes,
just as blue as any skies?
Look in the looking glass,
if you want to see some style,
and a fascinating smile,
you won't have to walk a mile,
look in the looking glass.
You will find there a vision fair,
sweeter than all the rest,
you will know why
the reason I suddenly feel my best.
Do you want to see the "who,"
whom I've given my love to?
Turn around then, if you do,
Look in the Looking Glass.

When it's night time in Nevada I'm dreaming,
of the old days on the prairie, and you.
I miss you when the camp fire is gleaming
and I wonder if you miss me too.
I can see the Great Divide
and the trail we used to ride,
the only bit of Heaven I knew.
When it's night time in Nevada, I'm dreaming
of the old days on the prairie and you.

I wanna be loved by you,
just you and nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you alone.
I wanna be kissed by you,
just you and nobody else but you,
I wanna be kissed by you alone.
I couldn't aspire to anything higher,
That fill a desire to make you my own!
I wanna be loved by you,
just you and nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you alone.

I live alone with my dreams,
planning wonderful schemes for two;
what have I done? For it seems
that not one of my dreams comes true.
I've built my castles in
The Land of Perhaps,
but ev'ry time I build them
something snaps, they collapse.
Why can't I join in a theme,
with someone in a dream like mine?

Honey love, when stars are peepin',
Moon above, is slowly creepin'
"YooHooHoo," I'll call to you;
Under Your Window Tonight,
Breezes sigh, it's spoony weather,
bye and bye, we'll get together;
look for me, I'll surely be,
under your window tonight.
You know where we're goin'
where there'll be hours of bliss;
where our love keeps growin'
with ev'ry little kiss.
You'll know, dear,
It's time for meetin' when you hear,
my little greetin'
"YooHooHoo," I'll call to you,
under the window tonight.

Just one more chance
To prove it's you alone I care for,
each night I say a little prayer for
just one more chance.
Just one more night,
to taste the kisses that enchant me,
I'd want no others if you'd grant me,
just one more chance.
I've learned the meaning of repentance;
now you're the jury at my trial.
I know that I should serve my sentence;
still I'm hoping all the while
you'll give me just one more word,
I said that I was glad to start out;
but now I'm back to cry my heart out,
for just one more chance.

Smile, darn ya, smile,
you know this old world
is a great world after all,
Smile, darn ya, smile,
and right away
watch Lady Luck pay you a call.
Things are never black
as they are painted.
Time for you and joy to get acquainted.
Make life worth while,
Come on and Smile, darn ya, smile.
