Music Ev'ry Day - 1932 - 'How's Chances?'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 02 Oct 2001

Soldier's feet go tramping down the street!
Hark, the drums are beating,
Tschingtara! Tschingtara! Boomtara!
Then 'tis sweet when all the girls they meet
find their hearts repeating,
Tschingtara! Tschingtara! Boomtara!
Love and life are calling!
Laughter ev'rywhere!
Hearts are thrilling
when music's filling the air.

We must have music ev'ry day,
for music cheers us on our way;
there's some strange charm about it,
we just can't do without it!
Each time we harmonise a bit,
Our spirits seem to rise a bit.
The skies, they say, are ofttimes grey,
but, come what may, we'll all go gay,
and strive to drive our cares away
with Music Ev'ry Day!

We must have music ev'ry day,
for music cheers us on our way;
there's some strange charm about it,
we just can't do without it!
Each time we harmonise a bit,
Our spirits seem to rise a bit.
The skies, they say, are ofttimes grey,
but, come what may, we'll all go gay,
and strive to drive our cares away
with Music Ev'ry Day!

Some folks pine for music when they dine,
eating they combine with
'Diddledumdiddledumdoodahday.'
Others throng to dance the whole night long,
women, wine and song, Ho!
'Diddledumdiddledumdoodahday.'
When the band starts playing,
ev'rybody's glad,
ev'ry fellow today is melody mad.

We must have music ev'ry day,
for music cheers us on our way;
there's some strange charm about it,
we just can't do without it!
Each time we harmonise a bit,
Our spirits seem to rise a bit.
The skies, they say, are ofttimes grey,
but, come what may, we'll all go gay,
and strive to drive our cares away
with Music Ev'ry Day!

We must have music ev'ry day,
for music cheers us on our way;
there's some strange charm about it,
we just can't do without it!
Each time we harmonise a bit,
Our spirits seem to rise a bit.
The skies, they say, are ofttimes grey,
but, come what may, we'll all go gay,
and strive to drive our cares away
with Music Ev'ry Day!
