Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart

*ESTHER*
Down in the jungles lived a maid
Of royal blood though dusky shade
*TOOTIE*
A marked impression once she made
Upon a Zulu
*ESTHER*
From Matabooloo
*TOOTIE*
And every morning he would be
Down underneath the bamboo tree
*ESTHER*
A Waitin' there his love to see
*TOOTIE*
And then to her he's sing
*BOTH*
To her he'd sing
If you like-a me, like I like-a you and we like-a both the same
I like-a say this very day, I like-a change your name.
'Cause I love-a you and lov-a you true and if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree

Oh, paddy dear and did you hear
The news that's going 'round
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on Irish ground

Saint Patrick's name no more you'll hear
His colors can't be seen
They've gone and passed a law against
The wearing of the green

Sure I looked to neighbor Tandy
And he took me by the hand
And he said how's dear old Ireland
And how does she stand?

It's a most distressful country
That ever you have seen
They're hanging men and woman
For the wearing of the green

Repeat first two verses

Men and women,
For the wearing of the green.

What now my love?
Now that you've left me
How I can I live through another day?
Watching my dreams turn into ashes
And my hopes into bits of clay
What now my love?
Once I could feel
Now I am numb, I've become unreal
I walk the nite without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul
What now my love?
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
What now my love?
Now that its over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars tumbling round me
There's the sky where the sea should be
What now my love?
Now that you've gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live or die
What now my love?
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye

*HANNA*
When the midnight choo choo leaves for Alabam'
*DON*
Alabam', Alabam'
*HANNA*
I'll be right there.
*DON*
Where'll you be, where'll you be?
*HANNA*
I've got my fair
*DON*
Show it to me, Show it to me
*HANNA*
When I see that rusty haired conductor man
*DON*
What'll you do, What'll you do
*HANNA*
I'll grab him by the collar and I'll holler "Alabam'!
Alabam'!"
*DON*
Pow!
*HANNA*
That's where you stop your train, that brings me back again
Down home where I'll remain, where my honey lamb am.
I will be right there with bells, when that old conductor yells,
"All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for Alabam'"
*BOTH
I will be right there with bells when that old conductor yells,
"All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for Alabam'"

Who, stole my heart away
Who, makes me dream all day
Dreams I know can never come true
Seems as though I'll ever be blue

Who, means my happiness
Who, would I answer yes to
No one, but you!

A woman's intentions, her femine inventions
A seldom if ever defined
And I am no different, why should I be different?
I simply can't make up my mind
How can I solve this situation
Except by the process of elimination

Oh...
Repeat Chorus

Can it be, can it be, who can it be?

You'll never guess who has stolen my heart away Dreamin' dreams
I know
Can never come true...
Seems as though
I'll never be blue!

Oh who, means my happiness
Who, would I answer yes to
Well you oughta guess who, who...
No one but you!

A real live nephew of my unlce Sam,
I was born on the 4th of July.
I've got a yankee doodle sweetheart,

Yankee doodle came to London,
just to ride the ponies.
Say, I am a Yankee Doodle Boy.

You go to my head
and you linger like a haunting refrain
and I find you spinning 'round in my brain
like the bubbles in a glass of champagne.

You go to my head
like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
and I find the very mention of you
like the kicker in a julep or two.

The thrill of the thought
that you might give a thought to my plea
casts a spell over me
till I say to myself
get ahold of yourself!
Can't you see that it never can be?

You go to my head
with a smile that makes my temperature rise
like a summer with a thousand Julys.
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes.

Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
hasn't a ghost of a chance
in this crazy romance,
you go to my head.

I'm glad I met you,
You Wonderful You,
I won't forget You,
You Wonderful You.
You're like a breath of spring,
A whole new thing has happened,
And without much ado,
I look at you and there stands love,
My arms around you,
That's wonderful too,
I'm glad I found you,
You Wonderful You,
Remember finder's keepers,
loser's weepers,
And because that's true,
You're mine now,
You Wonderful You.

De Arthur Freed
Filme: Broadway Melody of 1938, 1937

(lyrics as written)

Love can come along in the strangest ways
It looks at a lucky couple and sets their hearts ablaze
I can feel that fire in my happy heart,
For we are the lucky couple look what we have for a start.

The stars that shine are Yours and Mine
The rainbows in the sky are Yours and Mine
The song of springtime the lullaby of fall
The sunshine of summertime belongs to us all

The moon above is Yours and Mine
The right to fall in love is Yours and Mine
The hope of finding the dream our hearts design
All this is yours and mine.

I was mighty blue
Thought my life was through
'Til the heavens opened
And I gazed at you

Won't you tell me, dear
Why, when you appear,
Something happens to me
And the strangest feeling goes through me?

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
You have the power to hypnotize me?

Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
That nobody else could do

De: James F. Hanley, 1935
Filme: Listen, Darling, 1938

Dear, when you smiled at me
I heard a melody.
It haunted me from the start.
Something inside of me
srarted a symphony.
Zing! went the strings of my heart!

'Twas like a breath of spring.
I heard a robin sing
about a nest set apart.
All nature seemed to be
in perfect harmony.
Zing! went the strings of my heart!

Your eyes made skies seem blue again.
What else could I do again
but keep repeating through and through
I love you, love you!
I still recall the thrill,
I guess I always will,
I hope 'twill never depart.
I knew I loved you heaps
and you were mine for keeps.
Zing! went the strings of my heart!

(repeat)

You'll Never Walk Alone

When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.

When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.
