Fra Diavolo - Fra Diavolo

On yonder rock reclining, that fierce and swarthy form behold, fast his hands his carbine hold, 't is his best friend of old. This way his steps inclining, his scarlet plume waves ov'r his brow, and his velvet cloak hangs low, playing in careless flow. Trem-ble, e'en while the storm is beating a far hear echo repeating, Diavolo, Diavolo, Diavolo! Lyrics by Auber Lyrics via Kirch Group (Taurus Films) thanks to Andreas Crössmann for finding them

 

Honolulu baby - Sons of the Desert (2'41")

While down on a south sea island underneath the beauty of the stars I strayed upon some maidens who were strumming on their guitars a hula maid was dancing and I knew I´d found my paradise So this is what I told her as I gazed into her eyes Honolulu baby, where d´ya get those eyes and the dark complexion I just idolise Honolulu baby where did you get that style and those pretty red lips and that sunny smile When you start to dance, your hula hips entrance then you shake it up and down you shake a little here, you shake as little there well you got the boys going to town Honolulu baby, you know your stuff, Honolulu baby, don´t call your bluff Music and lyrics by T. Marvin Hatley © 18 October 1933

 

I wake up with a song - Them Thar Hills (1'32")

I wake up with a smile a lovely melody No matter what goes on I sing my melody When clouds are grey when skies are blue come rain or shine I'm happy too It's all the same to me off troubles I am free It must be destiny I'm filled with extasy I thank each star in heaven above I wake up with a smile A song of love Music by T. Marvin Hatley by Hatley and Parrott © 5 april 1934

 

The trail of the lonesome pine - Way Out West

On a mountain in Virginia stands a lonesome pine just below is the cabin home of a little girl of mine Her name is June and very, very soon She'll belong to me for I know she's waiting there for me ´neath that lone pine tree In the blue ridge mountains of Virginia on the trail of the lonesome pine in the pale moonshine our hearts entwine where she carved her name and I carved mine Oh June, like the mountains I'm blue like the pine I'm lonesome for you In the blue ridge mountains of Virginia on the trail of the lonesome pine Music by Harry Carroll, text by Ballard Macdonald © 1913 Shapiro Bernstein & Co

I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls - The Bohemian girl (4'25")

I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls With vassals and serfs at my side And of all who assembled within those walls That I was the hope and the pride I had riches too great to count Could boast of a high ancestral name But I also dreamt, which pleased me most That you loved me still the same That you loved me still the same That you loved me still the same Music Michael Balfe, words Alfred Bunn © 1843

Babes in Toyland - Babes in Toyland

When you've grown up, my dears, And are as old as I, You'll often ponder on the years That roll so swiftly by, my dears, That roll so swiftly by. And all the many lands You will have journeyed through You'll oft recall, The best of all, The land your childhood knew Your childhood knew. Toyland, toyland, Little girl and boy land, While you dwell within it, You are ever happy then. Childhood, joyland, Mystic merry toyland, Once you pass its borders, You can ne'er return again. Lyrics Victor Herbert's ©1903
