Radio Favourites Selection 1936

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 15 Jul 2002

Just keep a twinkle in your eye
and a twinkle in your toe
and you'll be steppin' mighty high
wherever you go.
'Cause with a twinkle in your eye
and a twinkle in your toe
nobody's goin' to pass you by
without a hallo.
Just throw your head back
and stick your chin out
bring your best Sunday grin out
you know that you can win out soon.
Thanks to that twinkle in your eye
and the twinkle in your toes
you'll find that life is just like pie
wherever you go.

Your heart and mine
they belong together
just like April weather
and skies of blue.
Your heart and mine
told us at our meeting
by their very beating
how well they knew
and though a thousand oceans divide us
a thousand centuries too
if you should need me
my heart would lead me to you.
The oldest stars in the sky
may have seen some true hearts
but they won't find two hearts
like your heart and mine.

Let's sing again
there's music in your heart,
but you must do your part
let's sing again.
I'm happy when somebody sings to me
a simple melody,
let's sing again.
Without a song to sing
what is there to cling to
life wouldn't mean a thing
without someone to sing to,
though now and then
the world may seem so blue,
a song will see you through,
let's sing again.

Do you remember my first love song?
Like a bird on the wing,
I just wanted to sing.
Life held no thrilling moments,
until you happened along.
You brought the light of dawning,
and so inspired my song.
Hold me while I sing my first love song,
let me live once again,
through that happy refrain.
Make this night divine,
makes these dreams of mine true,
while I sing my first love song to you.

You've robbed the Spring
of something so rare
the birds will sing but why should I care?
I think of words you left unspoken;
why did I have to meet you?
We had to part I knew all along,
you took my heart and left me a song,
to sing alone with my heart broken;
why did I have to meet you?
Why did I have to meet you?

It's great to be in love again,
we're in the mood for love again,
that silly little row is all forgotten now,
it's great to be in love again.
And making up is awful nice,
like waking up in Paradise,
I'm glad we didn't wait
until it was too late,
it's great to be in love again.
Foolishly we put a show on
thought we could go on apart,
what a blunder we were making,
how it was breaking my heart.
I'll never let you go again,
it's heavenly to know again,
that spell of solitude was just an interlude,
it's great to be in love again.

Hawaiian Paradise
Hawaiian Heaven
land of makebelieve come true
Please take me to your heart
Hawaiian Heaven
never more to part from you.
Let me live and laugh with you
while love is young,
and let me rest here when my day is through.
Hawaiian Paradise
at last I've found you
land of make believe come true.

What is all the fuss and hustle for
in the coloured neighbourhood,
even 'Granny' pack'd her bustle for
Harlem to Hollywood.
We were talking to a man out there
said the sun 'ud do us good,
ev'rybody's gettin' tan out there,
Harlem to Hollywood.
Ever since that Step'n Fetchit fool
turn'd into a movie star,
coloured boys run off from school
to be waiters in the dining car.
If you wanna try your luck on out
and I really think you should,
put a little grip and truck on out
Harlem to Hollywood.

You... Gee! but you're wonderful
You.. lovely You!
You completely satisfy
I'm confessin' that is why
there's nobody like You.
You! So much depends upon You
tell me true
Will it be my fate at all?
Will I ever rate at all
with somebody like You
Just to think that You love me
makes my future look strong
I swear by stars above me
I'm darned if I don't
feel like writing a song
a song about You
Music and words about You
lovely You
Let me think up phrases for.
let me sing out praises for
Nobody but You.
