When You Wore a Tulip and I Wore a Big Red Rose lyrics – music by Percy Wenrich, lyrics by Jack Mahoney, performed by Gene Kelly and Judy Garland in For Me and My Gal

I met you in a garden in an old Kentucky town.
The sun was shining down.
You wore a gingham gown.
I kissed you as I placed a yellow tulip in your hair.
Upon my coat, you pinned a rose so rare.
Time has not changed your loveliness. You’re just as sweet to me.
I love you, yet I can’t forget the days that used to be.

Oh! You Beautiful Doll lyrics – music by Nat Ayer, lyrics by A. Seymour Brown, performed by George Murphy and Judy Garland in For Me and My Gal

Honey dear, want you near,
Just turn out the lights and then come over here!
Nestle close, up to my side,
My heart’s afire, with love’s desire
In my arms, rest complete,
I never thought that life could ever be so sweet
‘Til I met you, some time ago,
But now you know,
I love you so!

For Me and My Gal lyrics – music by George W. Meyer , lyrics by Edgar Leslie and E. Ray Goetz, performed by Judy Garland and Gene Kelly in the musical, For Me and My Gal

The bells are ringing for me and my gal
The birds are singing for me and my gal
Everybody’s been knowing
To a wedding they’re going
And for weeks they’ve been sewing
Every Susie and Sal
They’re congregating for me and my gal
The Parson’s waiting for me and my gal

For Me and My Gal

For Me and My Gal (1942), starring Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, George Murphy

Buy from Amazon For Me and My Gal is a good many things — an ode to vaudeville, with some excellent song and dance routines, a “boy meets girl” movie, the film debut of Gene Kelly, a patriotic movie — and a very good movie overall. Frankly, what’s most refreshing about  For Me and My Gal is that the protagonist is a flawed person.  His flaws lead to his problems, and whose overcoming them leads to character growth.

We Need A Little Christmas

  • by

We Need A Little Christmas lyrics, written by Jerry Herman, originally performed in Mame by Angela Lansbury on Broadway, later by Lucille Ball in the motion picture

Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stockings
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now

For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinet
