The Dipsy Doodle

Larry Clinton

© Dulcet Music, ASCAP

The Dipsy Doodle is the thing to beware
The Dipsy Doodle will get in your hair
And if it gets you it couldn't be worse
The things you say will come out in reverse
Like You love I and me love you
That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works

The Dipsy Doodle is easy to find
It's almost always in back of your mind
You never know it until it's too late
And then you're in such a terrible state
Like The moon jumped over the cow hey diddle
That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works

When you think that you're crazy
You're the victim of the Dipsy Doodle
But it's not your mind that's hazy
It's your tongue that's at fault not your noodle

You better listen and try to be good
And try to do all the things that you should
The Dipsy Doodle will get you some day
You'll think you're crazy all the things that you say
Like Rockin' not I and rollin' goodbye
That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works

Well when you think you're crazy
You're the victim of the Dipsy Doodle
But it's not your mind that's hazy
It's your tongue that's at fault not your noodle

You better listen and try to be good
And try to do all the things that you should
The Dipsy Doodle will get you some day
You'll think you're crazy all the things that you say
Like Roll rattle and shake alligator
That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works
That's the way the Dipsy Doodle works

Cliff Friend - Dave Franklin

© Witmark And Sons, ASCAP

Treat me mean turn me down
Run me ragged all over town
But you can't stop me from dreamin'

You can stop me from kissin' you
You can stop me from cuddlin' too
Well you can treat me mean honey that's alright
But I'm gettin' even with you tonight
Because you can't stop me from dreamin'

You can stop me from holdin' hands
Make me listen to your commands
Well you can no-no honey well that's alright
But I'm gettin' even with you tonight
Because you can't stop me from dreamin'

From one o'clock till nine I'll dream you're mine
I'll steal a kiss see what you gonna miss
You can stop me romancin' you
You're the boss now but we're not through
Well you can turn me down honey that's alright
But I'm gettin' even with you tonight
Because you can't stop me from dreamin'

From one o'clock till nine I'll dream you're mine
I'll steal a kiss see what you gonna miss
You can stop me from kissin' you
You can stop me from cuddlin' too
Well you can treat me mean honey that's alright
But I'm gettin' even with you tonight
Because you can't stop me from dreamin'

I'll be with you in apple blossom time
I'll be with you to change your name to mine
One day in May I'll come and say
Happy the bride that the sun shines on today

What a wonderful wedding there will be
What a wonderful day for you and me
Church bells will chime you will be mine
In apple apple blossom time

I'll be with you in apple blossom time
I'll be with you to change your name to mine
One day in May I'll come and say
Happy the bride that the sun shines on today

What a wonderful wedding there will be
What a wonderful day for you and me
Church bells will chime you will be mine
In apple blossom time

Moon Over Miami

Edgar Leslie - Joe Burke

© Joe Burke Music, ASCAP

Moon over Miami
Shine on my love and me
So we can stroll beside the roll
Of the rolling sea

Moon over Miami
Shine on as we begin
A dream or two that may come true
When the tide comes in

Hark to the song of the smiling troubadours
Hark to the throbbing guitars
Hear how the waves offer thunderous applause
After each song to the stars

Moon over Miami
You know we're waiting for
A little love a little kiss
On Miami shore

"Is It True What They Say About Dixie"

Is it true what they say about Dixie
Does the sun really shine all the time
Do the sweet magnolias blossom at everybody's door
Do the folks keep eating possum til they can't eat no more

Is it true what they say about Swanny
Is a dream by the stream so sublime
Do they laugh do they love like they say in every song
If it's true that's where I belong

Is it true what they say about Dixie
Does the sun really shine all the time
Well do the sweet magnolias blossom at everybody's door
Do the folks keep eating that possum til they can't eat no more

Is it true what they say about Swanny
Is a dream by the stream so sublime
Do they laugh love like they say in every song
If it's true that's where I belong

Miss You

Charles Tobias - Henry Tobias - Harry Tobias

© Joy Music, ASCAP

Not long ago we've met while caring for the cage
I was scare but she said 'no worry I'll take care of it
Would you mind grabbin' something to eat afterward I asked
Sittin' down by the sushi bar we laughed past curfew

Three days later awe at the turk she started feelin' down
I smiled 'n said no worry come with me I'll take care of it
Oohб really' please just leave my world be she said
But when we trollin' down 82 miles she laughed again

So I cry me-self a river longing for that yanky dime
Just built a bridge and get-over it you said
Went to bed couldn't sleep all I do is thinking of you
So much to be said so much to kiss and tell
Sitting next to the fire drinking Pepsi 'n watching blood diamonds
Oh you outta know ya the reason I fell off the heaven
Miss you so much

She's a hometown hottie and I'm a simple valley-girl
Sip down the country coast where the crawfish fest ruled
It was hard she was dazzled and I try not to stare
So I shout 'whateva' and she said 'shut up you're an idiot'

Tube up-n-down the river we were cruising' for a bruisin'
Oh the feeling I felt that perfect day in wade
It's the kind of fuzzy feeling can't be said but only felt
So perfect just right and ain't no words can ever do justice

Gonna cry me-self a river too much candy for a yanky dime
Just built a bridge and get-over it you said
Went to bed tryin' sleep all I do is thinking of you
So much to be said but it's gonna be sucked
Hanging on the roof drinking coke 'n watching start dust
Oh you outta know ya the reason I fell off the heaven
More than ya ever know miss you much

Ain't Misbehavin'

Andy Razaf - Fats Waller - Harry Brooks

© Mills Music, ASCAP

No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I'm happy
On the shelf
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you

I know for certain
The one I love
I'm through with flirtin'
It's you that I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you

Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don't go nowhere
What do I care
Your kisses
Are worth waitin' for
Believe me

I don't stay out late
Don't care to go
I'm home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you

I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter

Joe Young - Fred Ahlert

© Fred Ahlert Muic, ASCAP

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you

I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say
I hope you're feeling better
I'll close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And I'm gonna make believe it came from you

Oh yeah

I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em

Oh yeah

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And I'm make believe it came from you
Oh yeah
I'm gonna make believe it came from you

Oh yeah

Somebody Else Is Taking My Place

Russ Morgan - Dick Howard - Bob Ellsworth

© Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP

Somebody else is taking my place
Somebody else shares your embrace
While I am trying to keep from crying
You walk around with a smile on your face

Little you care for vows that you made
Little you know how much I have paid
My heart is aching keep it from breaking
For somebody's taking my place

Somebody else is taking my place
Somebody else now shares your embrace
While I am trying to keep from crying
You walk around with a smile on your face

Little you care for vows that you made
Little you know how much I have paid
My heart is aching keep it from breaking
For somebody's taking my place
