My Sunny Tennessee lyrics, by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, Herman Ruby – (from the musical Three Little Words starring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton)

When the shades of night are falling
Tennessee, I hear you calling;
My thoughts just roam
Back to home, sweet home.
Every day my heart grows fonder,
Of the folks I left down yonder;
I wonder when I’ll be there again.

Where Did You Get That Girl lyrics — €“ words by Bert Kalmar, music by Harry Puck, 1913

(sung in Three Little Words, starring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton)

with a fellow who Johnnie knew and his brain began to whirl
The girl had caught his eye and John began to cry.

I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear
Oh I’d step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear
Outrageous alarming courageous charming
Oh who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It’s just amazing how fair people can be
