The Debutante's Ball

Randy Newman

© January Music, BMI

In a hall filled with light so poised and polite
They twist and they twirl
In dresses of white they dance through the night
In their tight little world
Faces all a wonder as they play the game
And all you need is a number following your name

Oh come one and all to the debutante's ball
It's very refined
See pale wooden faces and all the best places
Just standing in line

Oh I think Quentin B. Taylor the Third is here
And I see John Thomas Bailey the Ninth
And I guess every rich girl in the world is here
And they all have the time of their life

Oh if you're invited you should be delighted
Not everyone's asked to come
No one gets stoned it's all chaperoned
And it's just good clean fun
Isn't it a wonder that to play the game
Well all you need is a number following your name
[ instrumental ]
What a wonderful sight it just seems to be right
That there's something to do for the rich people too
So light up the hall there's dancing for all
At the debutante's ball

Happyland

Randy Newman

© January Music, BMI

The wind is cold the morning skies are gray
And through the fog I walk along the bay
Past a regiment of rusty swings
Sandy fields of broken things

Ferris wheel was turnin' roller coaster roared
And summer sun was burnin' on the hot dog stands and the candy stores
They had chocolate ice cream and apples on a stick
And big old jars with gumdrops in 'em
And if you guessed it right you'd win 'em

Happyland Happyland land that dreams are made of
Happyland Happyland
We could have a real nice time
Any ride for just one dime

What a great place to be four five and they left you alone
And they have these cars that you could drive in pretend you were old
I was much better off when I was pretending everything's far too real

Oh but Happyland Happyland land that dreams are made of
Carousels and wishing wells
La la la la la la
Ferris wheel was turnin' and roller coaster roared
And summer sun was burnin' on the hot dog stands and the candy stores
They had chocolate ice cream and apples on a stick

The Look Of Love

Hal David - Burt Bacharach

© Colgems Music, ASCAP

The look of love is in your eyes
The look your smile can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you now that I have found you

You've got the look of love it's on your face
The look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you now that I have found you
Don't ever go don't ever go
I love you so don't ever go
Please

So Long Dad

Randy Newman

© January Music, BMI

Home again and the streets are not much cleaner
And the quaint old south side scenery is quaint no more
I guess I'm older than before
Go up the stairs and down the hallway to my daddy's door

Your girl is home dad she's found a boy
He's just a sweetest guy I'll ever know
I hope you'll like him dad I hope you do
But if you don't that's alright too

What's new do you still work at the drugstore
Is that true still polishing the same floor
I missed my dear old dad
My but I'm glad to see you home again
But we won't be staying here dad
The smoke makes Jim's eyes tear so bad
We can't have that I guess I write you where we're at
Jimmy's father owns a bank I guess he'll try his hand at that

So come and see us poppa when you can
There'll always be a place for my old man
Just drop by when it's convenient to
Be sure and call before you do so long dad

For No One

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

The day breaks your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
She no longer needs him

She wakes up she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs him

And in his eyes he sees nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

He wants her he needs her
And yet he won't believe her when she says her love is dead
He thinks she needs him
[ instrumental ]
He stays home she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone
But now he's gone she no longer needs him
And in her eyes he sees nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

My Mammy

Joe Young - Sam Lewis - Walter Donaldson

© Bourne Co, ASCAP

Everything seems lovely when you start to roam
But here's what you'll be saying when you are far from home

Mammy Mammy
The sun shines east the sun shines west
I know where the sun shines best

Oh my Mammy my little Mammy
My heart strings a tangle around
Alabamy

I'm coming sorry that I made you wait
I'm coming I hope and pray I'm not too late
Oh my Mammy my little Mammy
I'd walk a million miles for one of those smiles
My my Mammy

Mammy yeah Mammy
The sun shines east the sun shines west
I know where the sun shines best
Oh Mammy my little Mammy

I'd walk a million miles for one of those smiles
My my Mammy

The Happy Time

Fred Ebb - John Kander

© Sunbeam Music, BMI

Remember the Christmas morning long ago
The frosted glass the dancing snow
The happy time
Remember the painted horse the carousel
The chocolate kiss the caramel
The happy time

Remember the pale pink sky your first Easter Hat
And if you should ask me why the reason I ask you this is that
I want to remember you remembering
The happy time
Remember the day you found the dollar bill
Or roller skating down the hill
The happy time
Remember the compliment you once received
The lie you told they all believed
The happy time

Remember your first school play the sound of applause
Why do I go on this way I'm only reminding you because
I want to remember you remembering
The happy time
[ instrumental ]
The happy time

Remember the a long deep sigh a tentative kiss
And if you should ask me why the reason I ask you that is this

I'm longing to see you smile and hear you laugh
So I can have the photograph
And remember you remembering the happy time
