If he can care for little butterflies,
Why can’t he care for me?
If he can stare for hours at April skies,
Why can’t he stare at me?
Dormi, dormi, dormi, good night and sleep well, my love,
Dormi, dormi, dormi, angels are watching above;
Till the dawn on tiptoe steals over your window sill,
May ev’ry bright star attend thee
And befriend thee with its light.
This little song may I send thee,
Dormi, dormi, my love, good-night.

I got a feeling, hap-happy feeling, this is my lucky day
Don’t want to sing the blues no more, not when I feel this way
I’m gonna rock it, ’cause in my pocket I got a load of green
I want to spread the word around so you’ll know what I mean

Is one that you’ll adore
I’m gonna take you for a ride
Howard Keel:
My ma was seventeen the day that she and Pa got wed,
When I was ten, gosh even then they were oh so nice,
Now and again I sit beside them on their big old bed,
And Ma and Pa are always full of good advice. For instance:
