SUMMER FUN!

In the Good Old Summer Time - 1

(CHORUS ONLY)

There’s a time in each year that we always hold dear,

good old summer time.

With the birds and the trees and sweet scented breezes,

good old summer time.

When your day’s work is over then you are in clover,

and life is one beautiful rhyme;

No trouble annoying, each one is enjoying

the good old summer time.

(ALL)

In the good old summer time, In the good old summer time! Strolling thru' the shady lane

with your baby mine. You hold her hand and she holds yours

and that's a very good sign That she's your tootsey wootsey In the good old summer time!

In the Good Old Summer Time - 2

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow, There's a bright golden haze on the meadow. The corn is as high as an elephant's eye, And it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky.

Oh, what a beautiful mornin’ Oh, what a beautiful day. I got a beautiful feelin'

ev'rything's goin' my way. Oh, what a beautiful day!

Oh, What A Beautiful Morning

Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer, do! I'm half crazy, All for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage, But you'll look sweet on the seat Of a bicycle built for two.

Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Built for Two)

Take Me Out to the Ballgame - 1 (CHORUS ONLY)

Katie Casey was baseball mad, Had the fever and had it bad; Just to root for the hometown crew,

ev’ry sou Katie blew.On a Saturday her young beauCalled to see if she’d like to goTo see a show but Miss Kate said,

“no, I’ll tell you what you can do:”

(ALL)

Take me out to the ball game,Take me out with the crowd;Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don't care if I never get back.Let me root, root, root for the [Rockies],If they don't win, it's a shame.For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out, At the old ball game.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame - 2

In a cavern, in a canyonExcavating for a mineDwelt a miner, “forty-niner”And his daughter,

Clementine

Oh! my darlin', Oh! my darlin'Oh! my darlin', Clementine,You are lost and gone foreverDreadful sorry, Clementine.

Oh My Darlin’ Clementine - 1

Drove she ducklings to the waterEv'ry morning just at nine.Hit her foot against a splinter,Fell into the foaming brine.

**REFRAIN** (ALL)

Oh! my darlin', Oh! my darlin’,Oh! my darlin', Clementine,You are lost and gone forever,Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

I've been workin’ on the railroadAll the live-long day.I've been working on the railroadJust to pass the time away. Don't you hear the whistle blowing,Rise up so early in the morn;Don't you hear the captain shouting,"Dinah, blow your horn!"

I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad - 1

Dinah, won't you blow,Dinah, won't you blow,Dinah, won't you blow your horn?Dinah, won't you blow,Dinah, won't you blow,Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,Someone's in the kitchen I know,Someone's in the kitchen with DinahStrummin' on the old banjo!


Singin' fee-fie-fidd-lee-ie-o, Fee-fie-fidd-lee-ie-o-o-o-o,Fee-fie-fidd-lee-ie-o, Strummin' on the old banjo.


She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes,

She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes,

She'll be coming 'round the mountain, She'll be coming 'round the mountain,

She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes.

She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain - 1

2. She'll be ridin' six white horses when she comes….

3. Oh we'll all come out to meet her

when she comes….

She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain - 2

I came from Alabama with a banjo on my knee. I'm goin’ to Lousiana my true love for to see.It rained all night the day I left,

the weather it was dry. The sun so hot I froze to death,

Susanna, don't you cry. Oh! Susanna, don’t you cry for me; I came from Alabama,

with my Banjo on my knee.

Oh! Susanna

Stephen Foster (1826-1864)

The Camptown ladies sing this song, Doodah! Doodah!

MOUNTAINS, PRAIRIES, AND TRAILS

On top of old smokey all covered in snow,I lost my true lover by courtin’ too slow.For meetin’s a pleasure and partin’s a grief,And a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief. A thief, he’ll but rob you and take all you have,But a false-hearted true love

will drive you to your grave.

On Top of Old Smokey - 1

I’ll go up on Old Smokey, on the mountain so high,

Where the wild birds and turtle dovescan hear my sad cry.

On Top of Old Smokey - 2

OOOOOk-lahoma, where the wind comes

sweepin' down the plain,And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet, When the wind comes right behind the rain.OOOOOk-lahoma,

ev'ry night my honey lamb and I, Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk

makin' lazy circles in the sky.

Oklahoma - 1

We know we belong to the land (yo-ho)And the land we belong to is grand!And when we say Yeeow! Aye-yip-aye-yo-ee-ay!We're only sayin' you're doin' fine, Oklahoma! Oklahoma O.K.!

Oklahoma - 2

O give me a home, where the buffalo roam,Where the deer and the antelope play,Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,And the skies are not cloudy all day. Home, home on the range,Where the deer and the antelope play,Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home on the Range

Eyes like the morning star, cheeks like a rose, Laura was a pretty girl, God almighty knows. Weep all ye little rains, wail winds wail, All along, along, along the Colorado trail.

Ride all the lonely nights, ride through the day, Keep the herd a movin’ on, movin’ on its way. Weep all ye little rains, wail winds wail,All along, along, along the Colorado trail.

Colorado Trail

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.Who cares about the clouds when we're together?Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Happy Trails

BROADWAY & HOLLYWOOD

Give my regards to Broadway! Remember me to Herald Square!

Tell all the gang at Forty Second street that I will soon be there!

Whisper of how I'm yearning to mingle with the old time throng!

Give my regards to Old Broadway And say that I'll be there e'er long.

Give My Regards to Broadway

The hills are alive with the sound of music,With songs they have sung for a thousand years.The hills fill my heart with the sound of music.My heart wants to sing every song it hears.

The Sound of Music - 1

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees.My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies

from a church on a breeze,To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls

over stones on its way,To sing through the night

like a lark who is learning to pray.


I go to the hills when my heart is lonely.I know I will hear what I’ve heard before.My heart will be blessed with the sound of musicAnd I'll sing once more.


I'm singin’ in the rain, just singin’ in the rain,What a glorious feeling I'm happy again.I'm laughing at clouds so dark up above,The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love.Let the stormy clouds chase

everyone from the place,Come on with the rain

I've a smile on my face.I walk down the lane

with a happy refrain,Just singin', singin' in the rain.

Singin’ in the Rain

Tonight, tonight, won’t be just any night,Tonight there will be no morning star.Tonight, tonight, I’ll see my love tonight.And for us, stars will stop where they are! Today the minutes seem like hours,The hours go so slowly,And still the sky is light. Oh moon, grow bright, And make this endless day endless night tonight!

Tonight

When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are.

Anything your heart desires will come to you.

If your heart is in your dream,no request is too extreme.

When you wish upon a star as dreamers do.

When You Wish Upon a Star - 1

Fate is kind, she brings to those who love,

The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing.

Like a bolt out of the blue,fate steps in and sees you through.

When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.

When You Wish Upon a Star - 2

PATRIOTIC SONGS

Yankee Doodle went to town, a-riding on a pony, Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.

**REFRAIN**

Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy,

Mind the music and the step, and with the girls be handy.

Yankee Doodle - 1

(MEN AND BOYS)

Fath’r and I went down to camp, along with Captain Goodin’,

And there we saw the men and boys, as thick as hasty puddin’.

**REFRAIN** (ALL)



Yankee Doodle - 2

(WOMEN AND GIRLS)

And there was Captain Washingtonupon a slapping stallion,

A-giving orders to his men; I guess there was a million.

**REFRAIN** (ALL)



Yankee Doodle - 3

(ALL)

And there they’d fife away like fun,and play on cornstalk fiddles,

And some had ribbons red as blood, all bound about their middles.

**REFRAIN** (ALL)



Yankee Doodle - 4

To Anacreon in Heaven

(SOLO)To Anacreon in heav’n where he sat in full glee,A few sons of harmony sent a petition,That he their inspirer and patron would be, When this answer arrived from the jolly old Grecian:Voice, fiddle and flute, no longer be mute, I’ll lend you my name and inspire you to boot!And besides I’ll instruct you like me to entwineThe myrtle of Venus with Bacchus’ vine.

The official song of the Anacreontic Society, an 18th-century gentlemen’s clubof amateur musicians in London. Text by Ralph Tomlinson, Esqr., late President of that Society.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed

at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars

thro’ the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched were so

gallantly streaming?

The Star-Spangled Banner - 1

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

The Star-Spangled Banner - 2

O beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain.

America, America, God shed his grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

America the Beautiful - 1

O beautiful for patriot dreamthat sees beyond the years,

Thine alabaster cities gleamundimmed by human tears.

America! America! God shed his grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhood,

from sea to shining sea.

America the Beautiful - 2

This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York island, From the Red Wood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters, This land was made for you and me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway, I saw below me that golden valley. This land was made for you and me.

This Land is Your Land - 1

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting and a voice came chanting: This land was made for you and me.

Nobody living can ever stop me As I go walking that freedom highway, Nobody living

can ever make me turn back, This land was made for you and me.


This land is your land, this land is my land,From California, to the New York island, From the Red Wood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters, This land was made for you and me.This land was made for you and me.


Happy trails to you, until we meet again.Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.Who cares about the clouds when we're together?Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Happy Trails

Thank You!
