In a Broadway Bag Album

You Coax The Blues Right Out Of The Horn, Mame,
You've Got The Banjoes Strummin' And Plunkin' Out A Tune To Beat The Band,

You Charm The Husk Right Off Of The Corn, Mame,
The Whole Plantation's Hummin' Since You Brought Dixie Back To Dixieland.

You've Made Us Feel Alive Again, You've Given Us The Drive Again.
You Give My Old Mint Julep A Kick, Mame.

You Make The Cotton Easy To Pick, Mame.
You Make The Old Magnolia Tree, Blossom At The Mention Of Your Name.
You've Brought The Cake-walk Back Into Style, Mame.
Your Skin Is Dixie Satin, There's Rebel In Your Manner And Your Speech.
You Make The South Revive Again, Mame.
You Make The Weepin' Willow Tree Smile, Mame.
You Make Our Black-eyed Peas And Our Grits Mame
You May Be From Manhattan But Georgia Never Had A Sweeter Peach.
You Came, You Saw, You Conquered And Absolutely Nothing Is The Same.
Seem Like The Sill Of Fare At The Ritz, Mame.
We Think You're Just Sensational Mameyour Special Fascination'll, Prove To Be Inspirational,

Everybody has the right to be wrong at least once
Everybody has the right to be dunce-like, once-like
Not being too smart is, is no disgrace
What sets you apart is smilin' with egg on your face

Its naive to make believe that you're right, it's not bright
Only fools go walking on thin ice, twice

You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get along
All it takes is simply saying you're wrong when you're wrong
And everybody has the right to be wrong

You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get along
All it takes is simply sayin' you're wrong when you're wrong
And everybody has the right to be
It can be a real delight to be
And I'd fight, fight for the right to be wrong
"At least once!!">

Bird flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze drifting by
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
A new day
A new life
For me
Feeling good

Hey there, fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossoms on the tree
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
A new day
A new life
For me
Feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean
Butterflies all having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this whole world
Is a new world
And a bold world for me

Stars when you shine;
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
A new day
A new life
For me
I feel good
I feel good
I feel good

Hey, world here I am!

Don't tell me not to fly
I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It's me and not you
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade.

Don't tell me not to live
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun is
A ball of butter
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade?

I'm gonna march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
Hey, at least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir, so what I didn't make it.

But, whether I'm the rose
Of sheer perfection
Or a freckle on the nose
Of life's complexion
The cinder of a shiny apple
Of its eye.

I gotta fly once
I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh â?¦ love is juicy
Juicy and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir!

So get ready for me, love
'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade!

I gotta fly once
I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, love is juicy
Juicy and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir!

Umm, ahh, get ready for me, love
'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Nobody
I said, nobody

Nobody had better
Rain on my parade!
Yeah!

Somewhere there has to be the other half of me,
the other half of me I've yet to meet.
One special someone
whose heart has a similar leaning
and if she were right for me
day and night for me
would have meaning.
The other half of me
that unknown quanity
that unseen destiny
could make me complete.
Is there a chart for the heart or a graph?
Will we meet on the street with a laugh?
Will we know one another,
if I ever meet my other half.
The other half of me.

Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine,
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Very long ago

Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars
And waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time,
Now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed
As though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young
And didn't have a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow

Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow
Follow

Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's so nice to remember
Without a hurt the heart is hollow

Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
And follow
Follow
Follow

When I think of her
And I'll think of her...
All the time

Likely I'll spend my days
Hearing her turn a phrase
Things I found to praise right now
Would seem sublime...


The truth is
I'll only miss her
When some stranger laughs
Cause it's still her laugh
My heart hears


Maybe in time I guess...
The longing will grow the slightest bit less
And there will be moments, yes
When it disappears...
I'll bet I forget her completely...
In about a hundred years
