[For It's Only A Paper Moon]
For it's only a paper moon, sailing over a cardboard sky
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

[Music! Music! Music! (Put Another Nickel In)]
So, put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is loving you
And music, music, music
Closer
My dear, come closer
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Is when you're dancing close to me

[Take Me Out To The Ball Game]
Takе me out to the ball game
Oh, takе me out to the back
Oh, buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks
[So] I don't care if I ever get back
Let me root, root, root for the whole team
And it's a shame they don't win
Oh'ts a one, or two, or three strikes you're out
At the old ball game
[Some Sunday Morning]
Some Sunday morning is going to be
Oh, some Sunday morning for someone and me
Bells will be chiming an old melody,
Oh, some Sunday morning, someone and me

[Any Bonds Today?]
Any bonds today?
Oh, bonds of freedom, oh, bonds of freedom
Any bonds today?
La-la-la-la-la-lee
Lee-lee-lee-lee-lee-lee-la
Asking you to buy a share of freedom today-day-day-day

Let me see, now...

[Red River Valley]
From this valley they say you are leaving
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile (whistling)
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathway a while
Now, come and sit by my side, little darling
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley (clears throat)
And the boy that has loved you so true
[My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean]
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
Oh, bring back, oh, bring back, oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Oh, bring back, oh, bring back, oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
My Bonnie has tuberculosis
My Bonnie has only one lung
My Bonnie can cough up raw oysters
And roll them around on her tongue
Oh, bring back, oh, bring back, oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Oh, bring back, oh, bring back, oh, bring back my Bonnie to me

[Jimmy Crack Corn]
The pony run, he jump, he pitch
He tumble master in the ditch,
The pony, being rather shy
When bitten by the blue-tail fly
Oh, Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Oh, Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Oh, Jimmy crack corn and I don't care
Oh, my master's here to stay

Let me see now, wait a minute, what's the other one[?], oh yeah-
[The Wabash Cannonball]
From-
From the Great Atlantic Ocean
To the wide Pacific shore
From the queen of flowing mountains
To the south belt by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome
And known quite well by all
She's the combination
Called the Wabash Cannonball
Oh, here's to Daddy Claxton
May his name forever stand
And always be remembered
'Round the courts of Alabam
His earthly race is over
And the curtains 'round him fall
We'll carry him home to vic'try
On the Wabash Cannonball

[I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now]
Oh, I wonder who's kissing her now
Oh, I wonder who's kissing her now
Oh, I wonder who's looking into her eyes
Breathing sighs and telling lies?
I wonder who's kissing her now
Ooh, I wonder who's kissing her now
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lee
Oh, I wonder who's kissing her now.
