Some Enchanted Evening

Verse 1 Some enchanted evening, You may see a stranger, You may see a stranger across a crowded room, And somehow you know, you know even then, That somehow you'll see here again and again.

Verse 2 Some enchanted evening, Someone may be laughing, You may hear her laughing across a crowded room, And night after night, as strange as it seems, The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams.

Bridge Who can explain it, who can tell you why? Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.

Verse 3 Some enchanted evening, When you find your true love, When you hear her call you across a crowded room, Then fly to her side and make her your own, Or all through your life you may dream all alone. Once you have found her, never let her go, Once you have found her, never - let her go!

Verse 2 When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart - what lies ahead? Will we have rainbows, day after day? Here's what my sweetheart said

Chorus Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be

Verse 3 Now I have Children of my own They ask their mother - what will I be? Will I be handsome, will I be rich? I tell them tenderly

Chorus Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be

Big Spender

Verse 1 The minute you walked in the joint, I could see you were a man of distinction, A real big spender. Good lookin', so refined, Say, wouldn't you like to know what's goin' on in my mind?

So let me get right to the point, I don't pop my cork for every man I see! Hey big spender, Spend a little time with me.

Refrain Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun? How's about a few laughs, laughs? I could show you a good time, Let me show you a good time!

Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'

Verse 1 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, An' it looks like its climbin' clear up to the sky.

Chorus Oh what a beautiful morning, Oh what a beautiful day, I've got a wonderful feeling, Everything's going my way.

Verse 2 All the cattle are standing like statues, All the cattle are standing like statues, They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by. But a little brown mav'rick is winking her eye.

Chorus

Verse 3 All the sounds of the earth are like music, All the sounds of the earth are like music, The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree, And an ol' Weepin' Willer is laughin' at me.

Chorus

Verse 1 Wise men say only fools rush in, But I can't help falling in love with you.

Hello, Dolly

Verse 1 Hello dolly, well hello dolly, It's so nice to have you back where you belong

You're lookin' swell, dolly, I can tell, dolly You're still glowin', you're still crowin', you're still goin' strong

I feel that room swayin', while the band's playin' One of your old favourite songs from way back when

Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow. Why, oh, why can't I?

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it Is something quite atrocious If you say it loud enough You'll always sound precocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Because I was afraid to speak When I was just a lad My father gave me nose a tweak And told me I was bad But then one day I learned a word That saved me aching nose The biggest word I ever heard And this is how it goes:

Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it Is something quite atrocious If you say it loud enough You'll always sound precocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

My Favourite Things

Raindrops on roses And whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favourite things

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels Doorbells and sleigh bells And schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favourite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver-white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favourite things

When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favourite things And then I don't feel so bad

Moon River

Moon river, wider than a mile, I'm crossing you in style someday. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker, Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.

Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end, Waiting, round the bend, My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me.

Moon river, wider than a mile, I'm crossing you in style someday. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker, Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.

Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after that same rainbow's end, Waiting, round the bend, My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me.
