Dancin’ in the dark ’til the tune ends
We’re dancin’ in the dark and it soon ends
We’re waltzin’ in the wonder of why we’re here
Time hurries by, we’re here, and gone
Song lyrics to How are things in Glocca Mora? (1945) music by Burton Lane, lyrics by E.Y. Harburg. Written for the 1947 musical, Finian’s Rainbow.
A day in the life of a fool;
A sad and a long lonely day.
Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest
All I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes high
Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm
Now, all I need’s the girl to go with’em
“Goin’ Out of My Head” is written by Teddy Randazzo and Bobby Weinstein. It was initially recorded by Little Anthony and the Imperials in 1964.

There is no one else but you
All alone by the telephone
Waiting for a ring, a ting-a-ling

It’s easier to say I love you than tonda wanda hoy comma kalai
And wouldn’t you rather say I love you than tonda wanda hoy comma kalai
It’s easier to spell kiss me dear than tonda wanda hoy comma kalai
And wouldn’t you rather hear kiss me than (tonda wanda hoy comma kalai)
“The Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans” – a comedy song where Jerry Lewis, on KP duty, complains about the low-quality food that the Army gets.
