Buy from Amazon [Editor’s note: Abraham is a celebration of Abraham Lincoln‘s birthday — and several of the performers are in blackface, to represent freed slaves. If you’re offended … you’ve been warned. Bear in mind that this is using 1942’s sensibilities, not 21st century’s attitudes.]

Upon a February morn
A tiny baby boy was born
Abraham, Abraham

Song lyrics to Lazy (1924). Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin. Sung by Bing Crosby in Holiday Inn

Ev’ry time
I see a puppy upon a summer’s day
A puppy dog at play
My heart is filled with envy
That’s because
My heart is yearning to pass the time away
Like that pup
’cause I’m all fed up
And tho’ it’s wrong to be
I long to be

Lazy [song lyrics, Bing Crosby]

Ever since the U.S.A. went dry
Everybody’s going there and I’m going too
