!1 Roll Out the Barrel

Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run Zing boom tararrel, ring out a of good cheer Now's to roll the barrel, for the gang's all here

Hail, Hail, The Gang’s All Here

Hail, hail, the gang’s all here What the heck do we care, what the heck do we care? Hail, hail, the gang’s all here, What the heck do we care now?

!2 Side by Side Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money Maybe we're ragged and funny But we'll travel along, singin' our song Side by side Don't know what's comin' tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road, sharin' our load Side by side Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall Just as long as we're together It doesn't matter at all

!3 The Birds and the Bees Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees And the flowers and the trees And the moon up above And a thing called 'Love' Let me tell ya 'bout the stars in the sky And a girl and a guy And the way they could kiss On a night like this When I look into your big brown eyes It's so very plain to see That it's time you learned about the facts of life Starting from A to Z Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees And the flowers and the trees And the moon up above And a thing called 'Love !4 Red, Red Robin When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along, along

There'll be no more sobbin' when he starts throbbin' his old sweet song

Wake up, wake up you sleepy head

Get up, get up, get out of bed

Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red

Live, love, laugh and be happy

What if I were blue, I’d be walking through, walking through fields of flowers

Rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours

I'm just a kid again doing what I did again, singing this song

When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along

!5 Rockin’ Robin Tweedle-lee-deedle-lee-dee, tweedle-lee-deedle-lee- dee

Tweedle-lee-deedle-lee-dee, tweedle-lee-deedle-lee- dee

Tweedle-lee-deedle-lee-dee, tweedle-lee-deedle-lee- dee

He rocks in the treetops all day long

Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singing his song

All the little birds on the Jaybird Street

Verse 2

Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee

Every little bird in the tall oak tree

The wise old owl, the big black crow

Flappin' their wings singing go birdy go

Oh rockin' robin, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet

Oh rockin' robin tweet tweet tweet tweet

Go rockin' robin

'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight

!7 Mockingbird Hill When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill

And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill

Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill

Of the birds in the treetops on Mockin'bird Hill

Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill

To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill

Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee

There's peace and goodwill

You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill

!8 Zip-a-dee-doo-dah Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay My, oh, my, what a wonderful day Plenty of sunshine headin' my way Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!

Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder It's the truth, it's "actch'll" Everything is "satisfactch'll" Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!

!9 There’s a Bluebird on Your Windowsill

There's a bluebird on your windowsill

There's a rainbow in your sky

There are happy thoughts, your heart to fill

Near enough to make you cry

With every tear you've washed away

All things you've locked inside

You count your joys this lovely day

And you wonder why you cried

!10 White Cliffs of Dover There'll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover

Tomorrow, just you wait and see There'll be love and laughter And peace ever after Tomorrow, when the world is free

The shepherd will tend his sheep The valley will bloom again And Jimmy will go to sleep In his own little room again

There'll be bluebirds over The white cliffs of Dover Tomorrow, just you wait and see

!11 Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high

there's a land that I’ve 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 trouble melts like lemon drops, way 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?

!12 Snowbird Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn grass lies waiting For its coat to turn to green The snowbird sings the song he always sings And speaks to me of flowers That will bloom again in spring

When I young My heart was young then, too Anything that it would tell me That's the thing that I would do But now I feel such emptiness within For the thing that I want most in life's The thing that I can't win

Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could you know that I would Fly away with you !13 Blackbird Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the light of a dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of a dark black night

!14 Bye, Bye, Blackbird Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,

Bye-bye Blackbird.

Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she,

Bye-bye Blackbird.

No one here can love or understand me.

Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me.

Make my bed and light the light

I'll arrive late tonight,

Blackbird, Bye-bye.

!15 Pack Up Your Troubles

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag And smile, smile, smile. While you’ve a lucifer to light your fag, Smile boys, that's the style What's the use of worrying It never was worthwhile So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag And smile, smile, smile
