Yankee Doodle
CH: Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.
1. Fath'r and I went to camp,
Along with Captain Goodwin.
And there we saw the men and boys,
As thick as hasty puddin'.
2. And there we saw a thousand,
As rich as Squire David.
And what they wasted every day,
I wish it could be saved.
3. And there was Captain Washington,
Up on a slapping stallion,
A giving orders to his men,
I guess there was a million.
4. And then the feathers on his hat,
They looked so very fine, ah!
I wanted peskily to get,
To give to my Jemimah.
? Yankee Doodle went to town,
Ah ridding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his hat,
And called it macaronie.
You Can't Love One
Oh my darlin' you can't
love one, love one
Oh my darlin' you can't love one, love one
Oh you can't love one and still have fun
I'm leaving on the midnight train...
La-di-da
Whoa back,..
yoo-hoo...
chug-a-chug
Oh my darlin' you can't love two, love two
Oh my darlin' you can't love two, love two
Oh you can't love one and still be true
I'm leaving on the midnight train...
La-di-da
Whoa back,..
yoo-hoo...
chug-a-chug

You Made Me Love You
You made me love you, I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you, and all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes, you made me glad
But there were times dear
You made me feel so bad
You made me sigh for, I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, Deed I do, You know I do
Gimme, gimme, what I cry for
You know you got the brand of kisses
That I die for
You know you made me love you
You May Be Slow
You may be slow, but I won't get angry
'Cause slow is part of who you are
Maybe someday I'll be slow myself
I love you just for who you are
You may be blind, but I won't get angry
'Cause blind is part of who you are
Maybe someday I'll be blind myself
I love you just for who you are
You may be deaf, but I won't get angry
'Cause deaf is part of who you are
Maybe someday I'll be deaf myself
I love you just for who you are
You may be slow...
You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby
You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a beautiful child
When you were only startin' to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild
And when it came to winning blue ribbons
You must have shown the other kids how
I can see the judges eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow
Oh, you must have been a beautiful baby
'Cause baby, look at you now
You Tell Me Your Dream
You had a dream
Well, I had one too
I know mine's best
'Cause it was of you
Come, sweetheart, tell me
Now is the time
You tell me your dream
I'll tell you mine

You'll never go to heaven in an old Ford car
'Cos an old Ford car won't get that far
You'll never go to heaven in a ping pong ball
'Cos a ping pong ball is much too small
You'll never go to heaven in a limousine
'Cos the lord aint go no gasoline
You'll never go to heaven in a Sabre Jet
'Cos the lord aint go no runways yet
You'll never go to heaven in a Girl Guides arms
'Cos the lord don't want those faminine charms
You'll never go to heaven in a rocking chair
'Cos the lord don't want no rockers there
You'll never go to heaven in a wicker chair
'Cos the lord dont want no baskets there
You'll never go to heaven in a biscuit tin
'Cos a biscuit tin's got biscuits in
You'll never go to heaven in a apple tree
'Cos an apple trees got roots you see
You'll never get to heaven on roller skates
You'd slip right by them Pearly Gates
You'll never get to heaven in your girlfriend's bra
'Cos your girlfriends bra don't stretch that far
You'll never get to heaven on a plate of glass
'Cos a plate of glass gonna cut your leg
You'll never get to heaven in a limousine
'Cos the Lord don't sell no gasoline
You'll never get to heaven on Richard's bike
'Cos you'll get halfway, then you'll have to hike
You'll never get to heaven in Mike's car
'Cos Mike's car stops at every bar
You'll never get to heaven with a bottle of gin
'Cos St Peter don't let them spirits in
You'll never get to heaven in Ivor's pants
'Cos Ivor's pants are full of ants
You'll never get to heaven, on water skis
'Cos the angels don't like hairy knees
Oh you can't get to heaven with powder and paint
'Cos it makes you look like what you ain't
Oh you can't get to heaven in a strapless gown
'Cos a strapless gown thing might fall right down
Oh you can't chew terbaccy on the golden shore
'Cos the Lord don't have no cuspidor
Oh I want to go to heaven, and I want to do it right
So I'll go up to heaven all dressed in white
Oh one fine day, and it won't be long
You'll look for me, and I'll be gone
And if you get to heaven before I do
Just drill a hole and pull me through
But if I get to heaven before you do
I'll drill a hole and spit on you
Well if I get to heaven, before you do
I'll plug that hole, with shavings and glue
That's all there is, there is no more
St Peter said, as he shut the door
Oh there's one more thing I forgot to tell
If you don't go to heaven, you'll go to...bed
And that's the end, St. Peter said
As he closed the gates, And went to bed

Alternative Chorus (2)
I ain't gonna grieve (i-eve-i-eve) my Lord no more
I ain't gonna grieve
I ain't gonna worry
I ain't gonna leave my Lord in a hurry
I ain't gonna grieve (i-eve-i-eve) my Lord no more, any more
You're a Grand Old Flag
You're a grand old flag, you're a high-flying flag,
Forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of, the land I love,
The home of the free and the brave.
Every heart beats true for the red, white, and blue,
Where there's never a boast or a brag.
But should old acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
You're the Cream in my Coffee
You're the cream in my coffee,
You're the salt in my stew,
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.
You're the starch in my collar,
You're the lace in my shoe,
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.
Most men tell love-tales
And each phrase dove-tails.
You've heard each known way,
This is my own way.
You're the sail of my love-boat,
You're the captain and crew,
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you.
Yankee Doodle Dandy
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy
Yawning in the Morning
Tune: Roaming in the Gloaming
Yawning in the morning,
When the rising bell we hear.
Yawning in the morning,
When our sleep is very dear.
How we wish we'd gone to bed
When the sun was setting red.
Oh, it's dreadful to be
Yawn ........... in the morning.
Yellow Bird
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
That is very sad, make me feel so bad.
You can fly away, in the sky away.
You more lucky than me!
I also have a pretty gal,
She not with me today.
They all the same, the pretty gal,
Make them the nest, then they fly away.
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Better fly away in the sky away.
Picker coming soon, pick from night to noon.
Black and yellow you, like banana too.
They might pick you some day!
Wish that I was a yellow bird,
I fly away with you.
But I am not a yellow bird,
So here I sit, nothing else to do.
Yes She Can
Tune: She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain

YES she can, yes she can!

(Slower)
Just you wait 'til we're older then you'll see.
We'll be women in tomorrow's history.
As we grow up through the years
We will sing out loud and clear!
Can we start the process here?
YES we can, yes we can!

You are my Sunshine
The other night, dear, As I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
And hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only love me too
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all some day
