How do you speak to an angel?
I’m completely in the dark.
When you know that you’ve just met an angel
Is there a proper remark?
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
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
In Living It Up, we first meet small town doctor Dean Martin, strumming on his guitar and singing a love ballad to a photograph of his girlfriend. The photo is of … Audrey Hepburn! Who never actually shows up in the movie.
I wanna say hello
I wanna see you smile
I wanna hold you in my arms again
The Lady is a Tramp is a classic song. It deals with the singer, rejecting the hoi polloi of the upper crust. She rejects their values for traditional, middle class values and living.
Well now friends just lend an ear
For you’re now about to hear
The ballad of Cat Ballou-ou
It’s a song that’s newly made
And Professor Sam the Shade
And the Sunrise Kid are singin’ it for you
Cat Ballou
Cat Ballou
Them city folks and we-uns
Are pretty much alike
Though they ain’t used to living in the sticks
We don’t like stone or cement
But we is in agreement
When we get started talking politics
