GOODNESS GRACIOUS IT'S CONTAGIOUS

If a love song makes you sorry If a love song makes you blue If a love song doesn't thrill you Listen, here's a thing to do! There's no good in feeling sorry There's no good in feeling blue You can all be surely happy if you'll swing this key with me You will stutter if you utter "Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwa" It won't fool you but will thrill you Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwa! May sound silly but you're happy when you Dwee Ree Dwa You will love it if you try it Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwa! Why wrack your brain for lyrics? That may bring on hysterics? If you've done one, you've done them all but "Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwa"! Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwa Goodness gracious, it's contagious! Dwee Ree Dwee Ree Dwa!

GOLDEN MOMENTS

now the holidays are over all the world can start anew but I can't forget those moments golden moments I spent with you times with you leave precious memories haunting me, they make me blue can't forget those happy hours golden moments I spent with you. just a few sweet days together darling, how the time flies then back to school, away from you with teardrops in my eyes holidays can't last forever though a love can, if its true and I can't forget those moments golden moments I spent with you. loneliness will keep me yearning every day the whole year through till again we are together golden moments I'll spend with you just a few sweet days together darling, how the time flies then back to school, away from  you with teardrops in my eyes holidays can't last forever though a love can, if its true and I can't forget those moments golden moments I spent with you. loneliness will keep me yearning every day the whole year through till again we are together golden

BE OPTIMISTIC

 Be optimistic, wah wah wah What you reckon the lightning done went in my house and killed my son Came outside, nearly killed my wife You can never get to heaven if you roll them dice. Be optimistic, not pessimistic Stop wishful thinking, won't get you nowhere Don't you gamble for that's a sin and ole St. Pete won't let you in Stay away from the horse race tracks you will never never never get your money back. Be optimistic, not pessimistic Stop wishful thinking, won't get you nowhere Don't you ever depend on luck Don't play a hunch for you'll get stuck Don't get back of the ole 8-ball If you ever do, brother, then you're bound to fall. Be optimistic, not pessimistic Stop wishful thinking, won't get you nowhere God's the captain of your dear soul Just let him lead you to your goal Keep trying, you will sure get by You are bound to get to heaven if you only try Be optimistic, not pessimistic Stop wishful thinking, won't get you nowhere

NO JOB WORKING MAN

He loves to eat and he loves to sleep That no-job working man (no job working man) He wants to boss and can't pay the cost That's no-job working man When that job-pay comes around he'll have the biggest smile in town If you get that check, he'll break his neck to catch that mailman all around That no-job working man (no job working man) When that snow begins to blow he'll ease on right back through the door And when the sun begins to shine he'll just ease on down the line That's no-job working man Take my advice and just think twice If you've got one, get on the run Throw his clothes out the door Roll them on to the floor And when he says "are you crazy?" Say "I'm just tired of Mister Lazy!" And if he fights? Well, that's all right Just be sweet until that night Get some lye and dust his eye and he'll be a no-seeing man He'll be a no-seeing man Take my advice and just think twice If you've got one, get on the run T

AMERICAN BANDSTAND

There is a group of jolly noisemakers on the air most every night They dance and swing their partners from the left and to the right They scream and yell and frisk about, oh what a motley crew You'd think for sure the roof would cave as you sit within their veiw It's a summer evening when everything is still Mister Frog begins his drill The cricket is one exception He too knows how to play They crawl and chirp real harmony all the way Good harmony all the way. They gather around and frisk all about Oh what a grand reunion! It's like listening to the American Bandstand you hear on the air most every evening. (solo) They gather around and frisk all about Oh what a grand reunion It's like listening to the American Bandstand you hear on the air most every evening. - Arthur E. Harrison sung by Sammy Marshall, Air 5051
