Lyrics for The August 2013 Daily Sparkle CD Songs Track 1 All Things Bright and Beautiful by Hayley Westenra All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset and the morning, That brightens up the sky; All things bright and beautiful, The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one;
Track 2 The Best Things in Life by The Ink Spots The moon belongs to everyone, The best things in life are free. The stars belong to everyone, They gleam there for you and me. The flowers in spring, the robins that sing, The moonbeams that shine, they're yours, they're mine. And love can come to everyone, The best things in life are free. The moon belongs to everyone, The best things in life are free. The stars belong to everyone, They gleam there for you and me. The flowers in spring, the robins that sing, The moonbeams that shine, they're yours, they're mine. And love can come to everyone, The best things in life are free.
Track 3 Get Me To The Church On Time by Stanley Holloway I'm getting married in the morning! Ding dong! The bells are gonna chime. Pull out the stopper! Let's have a whopper! But get me to the church on time! I gotta be there in the mornin' Spruced up and lookin' in me prime. Girls, come and kiss me; Show how you'll miss me. But get me to the church on time! If I am dancin', roll up the floor. If I am whistlin', whewt me out the door! For I'm gettin' married in the mornin' Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime. Kick up a rumpus but don't lost the compass; And get me to the church, Get me to the church, Be sure to get me to the church on time! I'm getting married in the morning Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime. Drug me or jail me, Stamp me and mail me. But get me to the church on time! I gotta be there in the morning Spruced up and lookin' in me prime. Some bloke who's able lift up the table, And get em to the church on time! If I am flying Then shoot me down. If I am wooin', Get her out of town! For I'm getting married in the morning! Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime. Feather and tar me; Call out the Army; But get me to the church. Get me to the church... Be sure and get me to the church on time!
Track 4 I Could Have Danced All Night by Julie Andrews I could have danced all night! I could have danced all night! And still have begged for more. I could have spread my wings And done a thousand things I've never done before. I'll never know what made it so exciting; Why all at once my heart took flight. I only know when he began to dance with me I could have danced, danced, danced all night! It's after three now. Don't you agree now, She ought to be in bed. I could have danced all night! I could have danced all night! And still have begged for more. I could have spread my wings And done a thousand things I've never done before. I'll never know what made it so exciting. Why all at once my heart took flight. I only know when he began to dance with me. I could have danced, danced danced all night!
Track 5 Transport of Delight by Flanders and Swann Some talk of Alexander some like a smart MG Or for bonny army lorry, they'd lay them down and dee. Such means of locomotion seem quite superfluous For I am the conductor of... a London omnibus! Hold very tight please, ting ting. Hold very tight please, ting ting. When you are lost in London, and you don't know where you are, You'll hear my voice a-calling, "Move further down the car!". And very soon you'll find yourself inside the terminus, In a London transport, diesel engine, ninety-seven horsepower omnibus. Along the Queen's great highway, we drive our merry load, At twenty miles per hour in the middle of the road. We like to drive in conveys, we're most gregarious, The big six-wheeler, scarlet painted, London transport, diesel engine, ninety-seven horsepower omnibus. Earth has not anything to show more fair, Mind the stairs, Mind the stairs... Both: Earth has not anything to show more fair, Any more fares? Any more fares, When cabbies try to pass us before they overtakes, me driver sticks his hand out and jams on all the brakes Those jackal taxi drivers can only swear and cuss, Behind that monarch of the road, Observer of the highway code, That big six-wheeler, Scarlet painted, London transport, Diesel engine, Ninety-seven horsepower omnibus.
Track 6 It s Only a Paper Moon by Nat King Cole It is only a paper moon Hanging over a cardboard sea, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believe in me. It is only a canvas sky Sailing over a muslin tree, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believe in me. Without your love, It's a honky-tonk parade. Without your love, It's a melody played in a penny arcade. It's a Barnum and Bailey world, Just as phony as it can be, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believe in me. Without your love, It's a honky-tonk parade. Without your love, It's a melody played in a penny arcade. It's a Barnum and Bailey world Just as phony as it can be, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believe in me.
Track 7 Love s Old Sweet Song by Richard Tauber Just a song at twilight When the lights are low, And the flickering shadows Softly come and go Though the heart be weary, Sad the day and long, Still to us at twilight comes love's old song Comes love's old sweet song. Though the heart be weary, Sad the day and long, Still to us at twilight comes love's old song Comes love's old sweet song.
Track 8 That s Entertainment from The Band Wagon Film The clown with his pants falling down Or the dance that's a dream of romance Or the scene where the villain is mean That's entertainment! The lights on the lady in tights Or the bride with the guy on the side Or the ball where she gives him her all That's entertainment! The plot and the hot simply teeming with sex A gay divorcee who is after her ex It could be Oedipus Rex Where a chap kills his father And causes a lot of bother The clerk who is thrown out of work By the boss who is thrown for a loss By the skirt who is doing him dirt The world is a stage, The stage is a world of entertainment. That's entertainment! That's entertainment!
Track 9 Donald Where s Your Troosers by Andy Stewart I've just come down from the Isle of Skye I'm not very big and I'm awful shy And the lassies shout when I go by Donald, where's your troosers Let the wind blow high let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt, I'll go All the lassies say hello Donald, where's your troosers A lassie took me to a ball And it was slippery in the hall And I was feared that I would fall For I had nae on my troosers Let the wind blow high let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt, I'll go All the lassies say hello Donald, where's your troosers Now I went down to London Town And I had some fun in the underground The ladies turned their heads around Saying, Donald, where are your trousers Let the wind blow high let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt, I'll go All the lassies say hello Donald, where's your troosers To wear the kilt is my delight It is not wrong I know it's right The Highlanders would get a fright If they saw me in the trousers Let the wind blow high let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt, I'll go All the lassies say hello Donald, where's your troosers Cont...

The lassies want me every one Well, let them catch me if they can You canna take the breaks of a Highland man And I don't wear the troosers Let the wind blow high let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt, I'll go All the lassies say hello Donald, where's your troosers Donald, where's your troosers Donald, where's your troosers

Track 12 A Marshmallow World by Johnny Mathis It's a marshmallow world in the winter When the snow comes to cover the ground It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day I wait for it the whole year round Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly In the arms of the evergreen trees And the sun is red, like a pumpkin head It's shining so your nose won't freeze The world is your snowball, see how it grows That's how it goes, whenever it snows The world is your snowball just for a song Get out and roll it along It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts Take a walk with your favorite girl It's a sugar date, what if spring is late In winter it's a marshmallow world It's a marshmallow world in the winter When the snow comes to cover the ground It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day I wait for it the whole year round Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly In the arms of the evergreen trees And the sun is red, like a pumpkin head It's shining so your nose won't freeze
Track 13 You Need Feet by Bernard Bresslaw You need feet, to stand up straight with, You need feet, to kick your friends, You need feet, to keep your socks up, And stop your legs from fraying at the ends.

Track 16 And the Band Played On by The Jesters Casey would waltz with the strawberry blonde, and the band played on. He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored, and the band played on. But his brain was so loaded it nearly exploded the poor girl would shake with alarm. He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curls, and the band played on Matt Casey formed a social club that seized the town for style, And hired for a meeting place, a hall. When payday came around each week they greased the floor with wax, And danced with noise and vigor at the ball. Each Saturday you'd see them dressed up in Sunday clothes. Each lad would have his sweetheart by his side. When Casey led the first grand march they all would fall in line Behind the man who was their joy and pride, f-o-r

Track 31 Doin What Comes Naturally from Annie Get Your Gun Folks are dumb where I come from, They ain't had any learning. Still they're happy as can be Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally). Folks like us could never fuss With schools and books and learning. Still we've gone from A to Z, Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally) You don't have to know how to read or write When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight. You don't have to look in a book to find out What he thinks of the moon and what is on his mind. That comes naturally (that comes naturally). My uncle out in Texas can't even write his name. He signs his checks with "x's" But they cash them just the same. If you saw my pa and ma, You'd know they had no learning, Still they've raised a family Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally) Uncle Jen has never read an almanac on drinking Still he's always on the spree Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally). Sister Sal who's musical has never had a lesson, Still she's learned to sing off-key Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally). You don't have to go a private school Not to pick up a penny near a stubborn mule, You don't have to have a professor's dome Not to go for the honey when the bee's at home. That comes naturally (that comes naturally). Cont...
Cont... My tiny baby brother, who's never read a book, Knows one sex from the other, All he had to do was look, Grandpa Bill is on the hill With someone he just married. There he is at ninety-three, Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally)
