The other day I chanced to meet a soldier friend of mine, He'd been in camp for sev'ral weeks and he was looking fine; His muscles had developed and his cheeks were rosy red, I asked him how he liked the life, and this is what he said:
'Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning, Oh! how I'd love to remain in bed; For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call; You've got to get up, you've got to get up, you've got to get up this morning! Some day I'm going to murder the bugler, Some day they're going to find him dead; I'll amputate his reveille, and step upon it heavily, And spend the rest of my life in bed.'
'Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning, Oh! how I'd love to remain in bed; For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call; You've got to get up, you've got to get up, you've got to get up this morning! Oh! boy the minute the battle is over, Oh! boy the minute the foe is dead; I'll put my uniform away, and move to Philadelphia, And spend the rest of my life in bed.'
A bugler in the army is the luckiest of men, He wakes the boys at five and then goes back to bed again; He doesn't have to blow again until the afternoon, If ev'ry thing goes well with me I'll be a bugler soon.
'Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning, Oh! how I'd love to remain in bed; For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call; You've got to get up, you've got to get up, you've got to get up this morning! Some day I'm going to murder the bugler, Some day they're going to find him dead; I'll amputate his reveille, and step upon it heavily, And spend the rest of my life in bed.'
'Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning, Oh! how I'd love to remain in bed; For the hardest blow of all, is to hear the bugler call; You've got to get up, you've got to get up, you've got to get up this morning! Oh! boy the minute the battle is over, Oh! boy the minute the foe is dead; I'll put my uniform away, and move to Philadelphia, And spend the rest of my life in bed.'
Heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek 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 gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb a mountain And reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek (Come on and) Dance with me I want my arm(s) about you That (Those) charm(s) about you Will carry me through... (Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging) Out together dancing cheek to cheek INSTRUMENTAL VERSION
All alone, I'm so all alone There is no one else but you All alone by the telephone Waiting for a ring, a ting-a-ling
I'm all alone every evening All alone, feeling blue Wond'ring where you are and how you are
And if you are all alone too
<instrumental>
I wonder where you are (remember me) and how you are (remember me) And if you are (I love you) all alone (I love you) too Note: backup in final stanza is a soprano
One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget One little heartache left as a token One little plaything carelessly broken
Remember the night The night you said, "I love you" Remember?
Remember you vowed By all the stars above you Remember?
Remember we found a lonely spot And after I learned to care a lot
You promised that you'd forget me not But you forgot To remember
[2] Into my dreams you wandered it seems, and then there came a day You loved me too, my dreams had come true, and all the world was May But soon the Maytime turned to December You had forgotten, do you remember?
