TONIGHT IS SO RIGHT FOR LOVE

(Sid Wayne - Abner Silver) « © '60 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Holly Hill Music, ASCAP »
Hold me tight the moon's so bright tonight is so right for love
Now's the time to say you're the only one tonight is so right for love

One by one the stars appear they twinkle in your eyes
Who'd believe that we'd be here so near to paradise
This could be the kiss to unlock heaven's door
That magic hour of bliss that we both waited for
I love more and more

Oh we could fly right up to the sky the things we've been dreaming of
And how real they would seem a midsummernight's dream
Can't you see that tonight's so right for love

And how real they would seem a midsummernight's dream
Can't you see that tonight's so right for love
Hold me tight the moon's so bright tonight the night is right for love

WHAT'S SHE REALLY LIKE

(Sid Wayne - Abner Silver) « © '60 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Holly Hill Music, ASCAP »
What's she really like the girl that you see me with
What's she really like the one I'm so dreamy with
Well let me tell you she's wonderful she's marvelous and she's mine

Told her that her lips her lips are so thrillable
I can't describe her kiss in words in one syllable
She's even more than adorable and what's moreable she's all mine

You're asking if she loves me well you don't know the half
You're wondering if she'll leave me ha ha ha don't make me laugh
What she really like the girl I go on about
What's she really like the one I'm so mad about
All I can say she's wonderful she's marvelous and she's mine

You're asking if she loves me...
Adorable and she's mine marvelous and she's mine
Wonderful and she's mine

WOODEN HEART

(Ben Weisman - Fred Wise - Kay Twomey - Bert Kaempfert) « © '60 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Erika Publishing, ASCAP / Sinless Music, ASCAP »
Can't you see I love you please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do cause I don't have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die cause I don't have a wooden heart

There's no strings upon this love of mine it was always you from the start
Treat me nice treat me good treat me like you really should
Cause I'm not made of wood and I don't have a wooden heart

Muss i denn muss i denn zum Stdtele hinaus Stdtele hinaus
Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier
Muss i denn muss i denn zum Stdtele hinaus Stdtele hinaus
Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier

There's no strings upon this love of mine it was always you the start
Sei mir gutn sei mir gut sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Wie du wirklich sollst cause I don't have a wooden heart

G.I. BLUES

(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) « © '60 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
They give us a room with a view of the beautiful Rhine
They give us a room with a view of the beautiful Rhine
A gimme a ole crick in Texas any ole time

I've got these hop two three four occupation GI blues
From my GI hair to the heels of my GI shoes
And if I don't go Stateside soon I'm gonna blow my fuse

We get hasenpfeffer and black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer and black pumpernickel for chow
I'd blow my next month's pay for a slice of Texas cow

We'd like to be heroes but all that we do here is march
We'd like to be heroes but all that we do here is march
And they don't give the Purple Heart for a fallen arch

I've got these hop two three four...

The frauleins are pretty as flowers but we can't make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers but we can't make a pass
Cause they're wearin' signs saying Keepen sie off the grass

I've got these hop two three four..
I got them occupation GI blues got them occupation GI blues

POCKETFUL OF RAINBOWS

(Ben Weisman - Fred Wise) « © '60 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Erika Publishing, ASCAP »
I don't worry whenever skies are grey above
Got a pocketful of rainbows got a heart full of love
Mr Heartache I've found a way to make him leave
Got a pocketful of rainbows got a star up my sleeve

Kiss me extra tender hold me extra tight
Cause I'm saving your sweetness for a lonely night aye aye aye aye
No more teardrops now that I've found a love so true
Got a pocketful of rainbows got an armful of you

Kiss me extra tender...
Rainbows rainbows rainbows

You got the huggin'est arms the thrillin'est eyes

(Sid Wayne - Edwards Sherman) « © '60 Holly Hill Music, ASCAP / Keith-Valerie Music, ASCAP »
They call your daddy Big Boots and Big Boots is his name
It takes a big man to wear big boots that's your daddy's claim to fame
They know you daddy Big Boots wherever soldiers are
Cause he can handle an armoured tank just like a kiddie can

So sleep little soldier don't you cry loo loo loo loo loo
General Sandman's soon coming by loo loo loo loo loo
I'm gonna tell you a little secret you won't believe it's true
Did you know your daddy Big Boots once wore little boots like you

Doing the best the best I can but it's not good enough for you

You know I was the kind who'd run...
But it's not good enough for you

TONIGHT IS SO RIGHT FOR LOVE

(Sid Wayne - Abner Silver) « © '60 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Holly Hill Music, ASCAP »
Hold me tight the moon's so bright
Tonight the night is right for love
As one by one as stars are bright
I'll hold you oh so close my dear
Things could be that magic kiss
That night of this we've waited for
Oh we could fly right up to the sky
How real it all seems to me
That summer night dream to me
Can't you see that tonight's all right for love
[ accordion ] Oh we could fly right up to the sky...
