Peter Maurice Pop Selection No.11

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 May 2003

I love to sing if skies are grey
for when I sing they roll away
I'm like a bird up in a tree
I'm just as happy as can be
I love to sing a happy song
I love to sing if things go wrong
and when I do I'm never blue
Oh how I love I love to sing.

Now the first is number one,
here's a song for ev'ryone
Roll me over, bless my soul,
we're at it again.
And as loud as you can be,
sing the chorus after me,
Roll me over, bless my soul,
we're at it again.
Roll me over
Roll me over
Roll me over,
bless my soul we're at it again!

Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate,
Darling I remember the way you used to wait,
'twas there that you whispered tenderly,
that you loved me, you'd always be,
My Lilli of the lamplight,
my own Lilli Marlene.

Don't Say that Nobody Loves You
I know that somebody loves you
Tho' you might feel alone over there
but tonight you're in somebody's prayer.
Don't say that nobody loves you
I know that somebody loves you
and if you wonder who it might be
I'll tell you nobody loves you like me.

I love you dear, with all my heart,
no joy I find when we're apart,
you make my ev'ry dream come true,
my day begins and ends with you,
with all my heart, to you I call.
You are my life, my love, my all,
to you alone I speak,
this message to impart,
I love you dear with all my heart.

Homeward Bound!
How, the sweet expression
will soon be whispered abroad.
When we hear these wonderful tidings
that the boys are Homeward Bound!
What a cry from a whisper
growing 'till heaven rocks with the sound
and the skies come back with the echo
that the boys are Homeward Bound!
Then there'll be bells ringing
and girls singing
a welcome home to their men
as heart to heart calling
they start falling in love all over again;
and if we only build our castles
with both our feet on the ground
we'll live happily ever after
in the freedom newly found;
Oh! the right side can't go wrong,
now get rehearsing with your song
now 'cos it won't be very long now
before the boys are Homeward Bound!

I'm goin' to buy a paper doll
that I can call my own,
a doll that other fellows cannot steal,
and then the flirty flirty guys
with their flirty flirty eyes,
will have to flirt with dollies that are real.
When I come home at night
she will be waiting,
she'll be the truest doll in all the world.
I'd rather have a paper doll
to call my own,
than have a fickleminded real live girl.

Shoo, Shoo, Shoo Baby.
Shoo, Shoo, Shoo Baby
Bye Bye Bye baby
Your papa's off to the seven seas.
Don't cry baby,
don't sigh baby;
Bye Bye, Bye Baby.
When I come back we'll live a life of ease,
seems kind of tough now,
to say goodbye this way,
but papa's got to be rough now,
so that he can be sweet to you another day,
Bye bye, bye Baby.
Don't cry baby,
Shoo, Shoo, Shoo Baby,
your papa's off to the seven seas.

No other Love,
no other arms could ever hold me
your lips have told me
I'm yours alone.
No other love,
no other kiss could ever capture
the joy and rapture
we two have known.
Each time I look into your eyes
so soft and tender
it seems the angels
must have sent you from above
and if I only had
one thing that I could wish for
I know I'd wish for no other love.

All's well Mademoiselle
that's what they say in dear old gay Paree,
All's well Mademoiselle
We've started off from Normandy,
it won't be long will victory.
Hearts will sing that happy day,
France will ring with the Marseillaise.
All's well Mademoiselle
soon you will dance again,
love and romance again,
Vive La France again, Mademoiselle.
