Yankee Doodle

CH: Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.

1. Fath'r and I went to camp,
Along with Captain Goodwin.
And there we saw the men and boys,
As thick as hasty puddin'.

2. And there we saw a thousand,
As rich as Squire David.
And what they wasted every day,
I wish it could be saved.

3. And there was Captain Washington,
Up on a slapping stallion,
A giving orders to his men,
I guess there was a million.

4. And then the feathers on his hat,
They looked so very fine, ah!
I wanted peskily to get,
To give to my Jemimah.

? Yankee Doodle went to town,
Ah ridding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his hat,
And called it macaronie.


You Can't Love One

Oh my darlin' you can't
love one, love one
Oh my darlin' you can't love one, love one
Oh you can't love one and still have fun
I'm leaving on the midnight train...
La-di-da
Whoa back,..
yoo-hoo...
chug-a-chug
Oh my darlin' you can't love two, love two
Oh my darlin' you can't love two, love two
Oh you can't love one and still be true
I'm leaving on the midnight train...
La-di-da
Whoa back,..
yoo-hoo...
chug-a-chug

Additional Verses:

four........want more
five........stay alive
six.........do tricks
seven..go to heaven
eight.......be great
nine........be mine
ten..and that's the end.


You Made Me Love You

You made me love you, I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you, and all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes, you made me glad
But there were times dear
You made me feel so bad
You made me sigh for, I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, Deed I do, You know I do
Gimme, gimme, what I cry for
You know you got the brand of kisses
That I die for
You know you made me love you


You May Be Slow

You may be slow, but I won't get angry
'Cause slow is part of who you are
Maybe someday I'll be slow myself
I love you just for who you are

You may be blind, but I won't get angry
'Cause blind is part of who you are
Maybe someday I'll be blind myself
I love you just for who you are

You may be deaf, but I won't get angry
'Cause deaf is part of who you are
Maybe someday I'll be deaf myself
I love you just for who you are

You may be slow...


You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby

You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a beautiful child
When you were only startin' to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild
And when it came to winning blue ribbons
You must have shown the other kids how
I can see the judges eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow
Oh, you must have been a beautiful baby
'Cause baby, look at you now


You Tell Me Your Dream

You had a dream
Well, I had one too
I know mine's best
'Cause it was of you
Come, sweetheart, tell me
Now is the time
You tell me your dream
I'll tell you mine

You'll never go to heaven in an old Ford car
'Cos an old Ford car won't get that far

You'll never go to heaven in a ping pong ball
'Cos a ping pong ball is much too small

You'll never go to heaven in a limousine
'Cos the lord aint go no gasoline

You'll never go to heaven in a Sabre Jet
'Cos the lord aint go no runways yet

You'll never go to heaven in a Girl Guides arms
'Cos the lord don't want those faminine charms

You'll never go to heaven in a rocking chair

You'll never go to heaven in a wicker chair
'Cos the lord dont want no baskets there

You'll never go to heaven in a biscuit tin
'Cos a biscuit tin's got biscuits in

You'll never go to heaven in a apple tree
'Cos an apple trees got roots you see

You'll never get to heaven on roller skates
You'd slip right by them Pearly Gates

You'll never get to heaven in your girlfriend's bra

'Cos it makes you look like what you ain't

Oh you can't get to heaven in a strapless gown
'Cos a strapless gown thing might fall right down

Oh you can't chew terbaccy on the golden shore
'Cos the Lord don't have no cuspidor

Oh I want to go to heaven, and I want to do it right
So I'll go up to heaven all dressed in white

Oh one fine day, and it won't be long
You'll look for me, and I'll be gone

And if you get to heaven before I do
Just drill a hole and pull me through

But if I get to heaven before you do
I'll drill a hole and spit on you

Well if I get to heaven, before you do
I'll plug that hole, with shavings and glue

That's all there is, there is no more
St Peter said, as he shut the door

Oh there's one more thing I forgot to tell
If you don't go to heaven, you'll go to...bed

And that's the end, St. Peter said
As he closed the gates, And went to bed

I ain't gonna worry
I ain't gonna leave my Lord in a hurry
I ain't gonna grieve (i-eve-i-eve) my Lord no more, any more


You're a Grand Old Flag

You're a grand old flag, you're a high-flying flag,
Forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of, the land I love,
The home of the free and the brave.
Every heart beats true for the red, white, and blue,
Where there's never a boast or a brag.
But should old acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.


You're the Cream in my Coffee

You're the cream in my coffee,
You're the salt in my stew,
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

You're the starch in my collar,
You're the lace in my shoe,
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

Most men tell love-tales
And each phrase dove-tails.
You've heard each known way,
This is my own way.

You're the sail of my love-boat,
You're the captain and crew,
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you.


Yankee Doodle Dandy

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy


Yawning in the Morning

Tune: Roaming in the Gloaming

Yawning in the morning,
When the rising bell we hear.
Yawning in the morning,
When our sleep is very dear.
How we wish we'd gone to bed
When the sun was setting red.
Oh, it's dreadful to be
Yawn ........... in the morning.


Yellow Bird

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
That is very sad, make me feel so bad.
You can fly away, in the sky away.
You more lucky than me!

I also have a pretty gal,
She not with me today.
They all the same, the pretty gal,
Make them the nest, then they fly away.

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Better fly away in the sky away.
Picker coming soon, pick from night to noon.
Black and yellow you, like banana too.
They might pick you some day!

Wish that I was a yellow bird,
I fly away with you.
But I am not a yellow bird,
So here I sit, nothing else to do.


Yes She Can

Tune: She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain

Can a woman fly an airplane?
YES she can, yes she can!
Can a woman build a building?
YES she can, yes she can!
Can a woman fight a fire?
Can a woman change a tire?
Can a woman lead a choir?
YES she can, yes she can!

Can a woman be a lawyer?
YES she can, yes she can!
Can a woman fix an engine?
YES she can, yes she can!
Can a woman be a drummer?
Can a woman be a plumber?
Can she play ball in the summer?
YES she can, yes she can!

Can a woman be a doctor?
YES she can, yes she can!
Can a woman drive a tractor?
YES she can, yes she can!
Can a woman lead a nation?
Can she run a TV station?
Can she head a corporation?
YES she can, yes she can!

(Slower)

Just you wait 'til we're older then you'll see.
We'll be women in tomorrow's history.
As we grow up through the years
We will sing out loud and clear!
Can we start the process here?
YES we can, yes we can!

You are my Sunshine

The other night, dear, As I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
And hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only love me too
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all some day

There's a long white robe up in heaven for me
There's a long white robe up in heaven for me

There's a starry crown up in heaven for me
There's a starry crown up in heaven for me
There's a starry crown up in heaven for me

You just pluck one string and the whole heavens ring
