Song lyrics to Dormi-Dormi-Dormi (Sleep-Sleep-Sleep), Music by Harry Warren, Lyrics by Sammy Cahn. Sung by Salvatore Baccaloni and Jerry Lewis in Rock-a-Bye Baby.

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.

Song lyrics to Money Burns a Hole in My Pocket. Music by Jule Styne, Lyrics by Bob Hilliard. Sung by Dean Martin in Living It Up

Money Burns a Hole in my Pocket is a sweet love song …. With a funny twist! In the movie, while Dean Martin is serenading her, Janet Leigh is distracting him …. From realizing that Jerry Lewis is being taken to a hospital!

Money burns a hole in my pocket
How I wish I had millions of dollars and nothing to do
But just buy pretty presents for you

Song lyrics to Every Street’s a Boulevard in Old New York. Music by Jule Styne. Lyrics by Bob Hilliard. Sung by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in Living It Up

I tell you every street’s a boulevard in old New York
Every street’s a highway of your dreams
It’s a thrill to shop on 34th street
Or down in Union Square
We like the people you meet
On Mulberry street, have you ever been there

The Old Calliope [song lyrics]

Song lyrics to The Old Calliope, Lyrics by Mack David, Music by Jerry Livingston. Performed by Dean Martin (and Jerry Lewis) in Sailor Beware

Editor’s note: So everyone knows: there’s a contention on the proper pronunciation of “calliope”. I’ve heard circus people (and other performers) say “cal-ee-OPE”, while other people pronounce it “cal-I-o-pea”. In this song, “the old calliope” uses the second pronunciation.

Second note: Technically, Jerry Lewis sings along with Dean Martin, but not very often — and then, clownishly. This is clearly Dean’s song. Although the dancing the two perform is clearly a 50/50 proposition.
