Spoken:
I’ll show you how to own the moon
And how to bounce the world just like a toy balloon.
We’ll show you how to have your way
And help yourself to wishes on a silver tray.
Cuddle Up a Little Closer, Lovey Mine is a popular song. It’s been recorded (among others) by Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Vic Damone, and Doris Day.
In The Vampire Bat, people are dying in the small German town of Kleinschloss. They are found dead in bed and drained of blood. So, Burgermeister Gustave Schoen (Lionel Belmore) and Dr Otto von Niemann (Lionel Atwill ) think that vampires are at large. But Detective Karl Brettschneider (Melvyn Douglas) thinks otherwise. Suspicion falls on village idiot Herman Gleib (Dwight Frye), known for befriending bats. When the townsfolk attempt to capture him, Herman panics and falls off into a deep well. He is killed, and the townspeople finish the job by driving a stake through his heart. Still, the vampire attacks don’t stop.
Land of stardust land of glamour
Hollywood, Hollywood
Land of stardust and land of glamour
Vistavision and Cinerama
Everyone considers it a must
To get to Hollywood or bust
I love to hang around
The lazy countryside
(Where things are nice and breezy)
With nature’s gang around
The lazy countryside
(Where life is twice as easy)
Where the crickets you don’t hear in the city
Keep a-hummin’ in your ear, oh, so pretty
[Editor’s note: Say It With a Slap is, frankly, a weird little song. The concept is, when a boy & girl bear fall in love, they slap each other. The hero of the story, Bongo, has been raised in a circus … And doesn’t know this. And his would-be girlfriend is heartbroken that he won’t slap her. As I say, a weird little song …]
My, what a happy day
What a sunny sky
Kind of makes you sigh in a happy way
What a very merry day
All the world is gay
When your cares are light
And your heart takes flight
And you’re swept away
In my favorite dream
Everyone is so delightful
No one’s mean or spiteful
In my favorite dream
