Альбом Bette Midler

Every night while I'm undressin',
sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin',
I can hear hot licks
from a set of drums upstairs.

Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there;
Johnny's overseas. We no not where.
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot
I can hear a tenor drum say:

Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that kid in the G.I. lid
gonna choo-choo down the track?

Poor ol' me, I'm beat as can be,
and my rim has even started to rust.
Look at these sticks tryin' to take out the licks,
they're covered with an inch of dust, beep-a-dust.

Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
gonna launch that last attack?

If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japenese derby
and beat it like a cymbal on a music rack.

Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
gonna launch that last attack?

If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japenese derby
and beat it like a cymbal on a music rack.

Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back, Mom?

"Here she is, direct from the convent, Miss Dixie Leonard"

I was alone on a shelf
In a world by myself.
Oh, where could my prince charming be?
But a man came along,
Made my life like a song,
And taught me these words of ecstasy,
Tenderly.

I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
And some muggin' and some teasin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some pettin' and some spoonin'
And some happy honeymoonin'
And some stuff like that there.

I used to think that love
Was just a lot o' rubbish;
A mess o' cabbage, a mess o' cabbage.
But now my attitude
Is wholly lovey dovish,
And baby, you, you've done it!

I want some kissin' and some hopin'
And some missin' and some mopin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
And some weepin' and some pacin'
And some stuff like that there.

And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
And some muggin' and some teasin'
And some leapin' and some chasin'
And some weepin' and some pacin'
And some stuff,
I want some stuff like that there.

I used to think romance was bunk,
A double mickey for the ickey.
But all at once my heart was sunk,
And baby, you, you've done it!

I want some kissin' and some hopin'
And some missin' and some mopin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
And some weepin' and some pacin'
And some stuff like that there.

And when i get a certain feelin' i confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin', squeezin',
Muggin', teasin' and some stuff,
Stuff like that there!
Oooooooooh!

Dear, I thought I'd drop a line.
The weather's cool. The folks are fine.
I'm in bed each night at nine.
P.S. I love you.

Yesterday we had some rain,
but all in all I can't complain.
Was it dusty on the train?
P.S. I love you.

Write to the Browns just as soon as you're able.
They came around to call.
I burned a hole in the dining room table.
And let me see, I guess that's all.

Nothin' else for me to say,
and so I'll close. Oh, by the way,
everybody's thinkin' of you.
P.S. I love you.

I do my best to obey all your wishes.
I put a sign up. Think
now I got to buy us a new set of dishes,
or wash the ones that have piled in the sink.

Nothing else to tell you, dear.
Except, each day feels like a year.
Every night I'm dreamin' of you.
P.S. I love you.
P.S. I love you.

B: without a head,
J: kisses ago.
B: and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.
J: I remember, too,
B: Oh, what a dream!
J: a distant bell,
B: It comes at night and taunts me,
J: and stars that fell
B: and, like your jokes, it haunts me until
J: like rain out of the blue.
B: I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.
J: When my life is through,
B: I'll jump for joy.
J: and the angels ask me to recall
B: and when Winchell asks me to recall
who's a chump and a heel.
J: the thrill of it all,
B: Who's the biggest schlemeil?
Both: Then I will tell them I remember . . .

J: Baby, don't hold out.
B: ah, but it's cold outside.
J: Baby, it's cold outside.
B: Ah, but it's cold outside.
J: Baby, it's cold outside.

Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Angels on my left and right to keep me safe all through the night.

There's a place way up high,
starry bright there, through the night there.
Close your eyes. Let your wishes fly.
You'll be in Dreamland by and by.

Dimpled and drowsy, off you go,
over the treetops, sliding down a rainbow.
Sleepyhead, curl up in your bed.
And 'til the sun says, Rise and shine,
sleep warm in Dreamland, baby mine.

There's a place worlds away,
time has wings there, green with springs there.
Smiles and songs bloom on every tree.
Only in Dreamland, just wait and see.

Deep down inside us, a child's still there,
wishing for Dreamland, knowing that it's somewhere.
Though it may seem so far away,
if you believe that dreams come true,
you'll find a Dreamland waiting for you.
Mmmmmm.
Go to sleep now, dear.

Sweetheart, the night is growing old.
Sweetheart, my love is still untold.
A kiss that is never tasted,
forever and ever is wasted.

For all we know we may never meet again.
Before you go, make this moment sweet again.
We won't say good night until the last minute.
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it.

For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. Tomorrow's made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.

For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and we go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. Tomorrow was made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know

Eddie: "Hey, Sarge . . . Sing him a song, honey. He's earned it! Ha ha!"

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain, deep as a river,
come rain or come shine.

And I guess when you met me
it was just one of those things.
but don't ever bet me,
'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me, let me.

You're always gonna love me like nobody's loved me,
come rain or come shine.
Happy together, unhappy together,
and won't it be fine?

Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of the money.
But I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.

Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of the money.
But I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
Rain or shine.

"It's Christmas time. Gonna sing a little song for you."

There are places I remember
all my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better.
And some have gone, and some remain.

All these places have their moments
with lovers and friends I still can't recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life I love them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one compares with you.
And these memories lose their meaning
when I think of love as something new.

Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life,I love you more.

Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think of them.
But in my life I loved you more.
I love you more.
I love you more.

I remember you.
You're the one who made my dreams come true,
a few kisses ago.

I remember you.
You're the one who said, "I love you, too.
I do. Didn't you know?"

I remember, too, a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.

When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I shall tell them I remember you.

Was it in Tahiti? Woah, woah, woah, woah.
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago, say, an hour or so,
I recall that I saw your smile.

And I remember, too, a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.

When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I will tell them I remember,
tell them I remember you.

Old friend, here we are,
after all the years and tears
and all that we've been through.
It feels so good to see you.
Lookin' back in time,
there've been other friends and other lovers,
but no other one like you.
All my life, no one ever has known me better.

I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohhh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.

Old friend, there were times
I didn't want to see your face
or hear your name again.
Now those times are far behind me.
It's so good to see your smile.
I'd forgotten how nobody else
could make me smile the way you do.
All this time, you're the one I still want beside me.

I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
