[Sweet Adeline was first published in 1903, with lyrics by Richard H. Gerard to music by Harry Armstrong, from a tune he had written in 1896]
Cut this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards, kill this history
Make it over, make it stay away
Or hate’ll say the ending that love started to stay
There’s No Business Like Show Business – performed in Annie Get Your Your Gun, There’s No Business Like Show Business, the I Love Lucy episode Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined (as well as a great many other places). Written by Irving Berlin.
There’s no business like show business like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow
While strolling through the park one day
In the merry merry month of May
I was taken by surprise
By a pair of roguish eyes
I was scared but I didn’t run away
words by Paul Francis Webster, music by Irving Aaronson, 1950, Adapted from Rosa’s waltz: Sobre los olas (“Over the Waves”)
When you are in love
It’s the loveliest night of the year
Stars twinkle above
And you almost can touch them from here
(verse)
Out in Arizona
Where the bad men are,
And the only friend to guide you
Is an evening star,
The roughest, toughest man by far
Is Ragtime Cowboy Joe.
Got his name from singing
To the cows and sheep
Every night they say
He sings the herd to sleep
In a basso rich and deep,
Crooning soft and low

There’s no business like show business like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow
Performed on the I Love Lucy episode Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined by William Frawley and Vivian Vance.
We’ve always thought
Knowledge is naught,
We should be taught to dance,
Right here at Tate
we’re up to date,
(Sweet Sue, as sung by Lucille Ball on the I Love Lucy episode, Mr. and Mrs. TV Show)
Every star above, baby,
Knows the one I love:
Sweet Sue – just you!Read More »Sweet Sue – Just You – song lyrics
