I Love Lucy

I love Lucy and she loves me
We're as happy as two can be
Sometimes we quarrel but then
How we love making up again
Lucy kisses like no one can
She's my misses and I'm her man
And life is heaven you see
'Cause I love Lucy
And Lucy loves me

Lady In Red

Oh the lady in red is as fresh as a daisy when the town is in bed
Dancin' and dinin' and shinin' with originality
She's very proper
She's nothing more than a pal
Oh me and oh my
You'll never stop her
She'll be a dangerous gal
If she ever met the right guy
Oh the lady in red
The fellas are crazy for the lady in red
She's a bit gaudy but lord what a pretty personality
Say have you ever met the girl who's the toast of the town
A work of art without a question
You better write her number down, you fools

Straw Hat

Whenever Old Man Trouble makes trouble arise
Just put on a big straw hat over your eyes
You'll never see the circumstance makin' you frown
If you just push your eyes under the crown
Life can be simple thin'
A simple thin'
To laugh and sing
Get yourself a hat of straw
And put it on, don't take it off
And when the landlord tells you the rent's in arrears
A big straw hat over your ears
You'll never hear the dialog tragically grim
If you just push your ears under the brim
Aba ariba yep
Aba, aba very good Maggie
So life can be a simple thin'
A simple thin' to laugh and sing
Get yourself a hat of straw
Put it on, don't take it off
And pretty soon your troubles will come to an end
Because you will not see or hear it my friend
To visualize permanent sun in the skies
Just put a big straw hat, big straw hat over your eyes!

Friendship

Friendship
If you're ever in a jam, here I am
If you're ever in a mess, S.O.S.
If you ever feel so happy, you land in jail; I'm your bail
It's friendship, Friendship, just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgot, ours will still be hot
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle dig, dig, dig
If you're ever up a tree, phone to me
If you're ever down a well, ring my bell
If you ever lose your teach, and you're out to dine; borrow mine
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blenship
When other friendships have been forgot, ours will still be great
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle, chuck, chuck, chuck
If they ever black your eyes, put me wise
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose
If they ever put a bullet through your brain; I'll complain
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blenship
When other friendships have been forgot, ours will still be it
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle, hep, hep, hep

There's A Brand New Baby in Our House

There's a brand new baby in our house
The nicest little gift we've ever had
How much fuller life's become
No one knows what makes it hum
'Til you call each other mummy and dad
There's a brand new baby in our house
And though he's been there just a little while
In the parlour in the hall
Every picture on the wall
Seems to know because they all wear a smile
I can't explain what he does to my heart
With his infant charms
I never knew what heaven was
'Til I held an angel in my arms
There's a brand new baby in our house
He's twice as sweet as honey from the comb
He's the image of my spouse
He's the tricky micky mouse
Who has changed our happy house to a home
We thank the lord
Whose love and wondrous powers
Gave us the brand new
Grand new
Baby of ours

Songs And Witty Sayings

We'll build a bungalow big enough for two
Big enough for two (mah honey)
Yes me and you
And when we're married
Happy we'll be
Under the bamboo, underneath the bamboo tree
RICKY : Say Lucy
LUCY : Yeah Ricky
RICKY : You know a funny thing happened to me on the way to the theater tonight
LUCY : What
RICKY : A tramp came up to me in the street and he said he hadn't had a bite in weeks
LUCY : What'd you do, bite him?
If you'd be m-i-n-e mine, I'll be t-h-i-n-e thine
And I'll l-o-v-e love you all the t-i-m-e time
RICKY : Say Lucy
LUCY : Yeah Ricky

And I'll k-i-s-s kiss you in the c-a-r car
RICKY : I got you this time. I got a joke you never heart your whole life

Cuban Pete/ Sally Sweet

They call me Cuban Pete
I'm the King of the Rumba beat
When I play the morracas
I go chick-chicky-boom
Chick-chicky-boom
Yes, Sir, I'm Cuban Pete
I'm the craze of my native street
When I start to dance
Everything goes chick-chicky-boom
Chick-chicky-boom
There Senoritas they sing
And how they swing with the rumbero
It's very nice so full of spice
And when they dance and they bring a happy ring of vaqueros
Singing a song all the day long
So if you like the beat
Take a lesson from Cuban Pete
And I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom
Chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom
Si, Senorita, I know that you will like the chicky boom chick
'Cause it's the dance of Latin romance
And Cuban Pete doesn't teach you
In a hurry like Arthur Murray
I come from Havannah and there's always manana
So Senorita.....
Oh no.....
(LUCY)
They call me Sally Sweet
I'm the Queen of Delancy Street
When I start to dance everything goes chick-chicky-boom
Chick-chicky-boom
(RICKY : Ay ay ay ay ay ay)
Excuse me Mister Pete (RICKY : Yes Ma'am)
Have the Cubans a different beat
If they have will you teach me to chick
Chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom
(RICKY)
Si, Senorita, I know that you will like the chicky boom chick
(LUCY : Yeah man)
It's very nice so full of spice
I place my hand on your hip and if you will just give me your hand
Then we shall try just you and I
(musical ending)

Nobody Loves The Ump

Safe
You're out
Foul ball
Nobody loves the ump
He's the apple of nobody's eye
Nobody loves the ump
And I'll never know , never know why
(RICKY)
Oh they boo and they hiss and they holler at me
Just because it's a ball and I call it strike three
I'm not wearing my glasses so how can I see
Nobody loves, nobody loves, nobody loves the ump
(LUCY)
If I call it a ball then they call me a slob
If I call it a strike then they call out the mob
If I call off the game I'd be out of a job
Nobody loves, nobody loves, nobody loves the ump
(BOB HOPE)
They very first inning the fans all commence
They belt me with bottles, I take no offence
'Cause each one they throw I return for two cents
Nobody loves, nobody loves, nobody loves the ump
The ump, nobody loves the ump
YOU'RE OUT!

Carolina in The Morning

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina
In the morning....
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her
In the morning...
Where the morning glories twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more..
Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early
In the morning...
If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day
I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say...
Nothing could be finer thana to be in Carolina...
In the morning!

Where the morning glories twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early
in the morning...
Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each buttercup at dawning
If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day
I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina...
Carolina in the morning....!

Granada

Granada, tierra soñada por mí...
mi cantar se vuelve gitano, cuando es para tí...
Mi cantar, hecho de fantasía...
Mi cantar, flor de melancolía...
Que yo te vengo...
a dar...

(Part 2)

Granada tierra ensangrentada
en tardes de toros...
Mujer que conserva el embrujo
de los ojos moros...
Te sueño rebelde y gitana
cubierta de flores...
Y beso tu boca de grana
jugosa manzana que me habla de amores...

(Repeat part 2)

Granada manola cantada
en coplas preciosas...
No tengo otra cosa que darte
que un ramo de rosas...

(music...)

De rosas de suave fragancia
que le dieran marco a la Virgen Morena...

Granada,
tu tierra está llena
de lindas mujeres
de sangre y de sol...

California Here We Come

California here I come,
Right back where I started from
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the sun,
Each morning at dawning,
The birdies sing and ev'rything
A sun kissed miss and said Don't be late,
That's why I can hardly wait,
Open up that golden gate,
California, Here I Come!

We're Having A Baby

We're having a baby, my baby and me
You'll read it in Winchell's
That we're adding a limb to our family tree
We're pushing our carriage
How proud I will be
There's nothing like marriage
Ask your father and mother and they'll agree
He'll have toys, baby clothes
He'll know he's come to the right house
By and by, when he grows
Maybe he'll live in the White House
Our future looks brighter
But definitely
We're having a baby
RICKY : I bet he's gonne look just like you
LUCY : Oh I hope not
We're having a baby
LUCY : I bet she speaks with an accent like you
RICKY : She?
LUCY : Yeah
We're having a baby
My baby and me

I'll see you in Cuba

Not so far from here
There's a very lively atmosphere
Everybody's going there this year
And there's a reason
The season never closes there
Love and music you'll find everywhere
People always having fun down there
So come along
I'm on my way to Cuba
That's where I'm going
Cuba, that's where I'll stay
Cuba, where wine is flowing
And where cigar guys tell us
Light the fellas panatella
Cuba, where it's all happy
Cuba, where all is gay
Why don't you plan a wonderful trip
To Havana
Hop on a ship
And I'll see you in C-U-B-A
Why don't you plan a wonderful trip to
To Havana
Hop on a ship
And I'll see you in C-U-B-A

Heaven

Heaven I'm in Heaven
And my heart beat so that I can hardly speak
And when I see you find the happiness I see
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven I'm in Heaven
and the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a lucky gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I'd love to climb a mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't fill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I'd love to go out fishing
On a river or a creek
I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing Cheek to Cheek
Dance with me
I want my arms around you
The Charm about you
Will carry me through
Heaven I'm in Heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I see you find the happiness I see
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

While the Natives kept repeating ancient jungle rites.All at once the dusky warriors began to raise their arms to skies above. And a  Native then stepped forward to chant to his Voo-Doo goddess of love. Ah!     
Chorus:Great Babalu I'm so lost and forsaken.Ah! Great Babalu! Bring back the love you've taken.  You can restore all the dreams that once were mine, If you'll use some mystic sign. Ah! Great Babalu! Bring her back to me.Ah!
Verse 2:Babalu Aye! Babalu Aye! Babalu Aye ! Babalu aye! Babalu aye! Babalu aye! Babalu aye!Babalu Aye! Babalu Aye! Babalu Aye!
