I Want A Girl

I Want A Girl (Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad)

Words by Will Dillon
Music by Harry Von Tilzer (1911)

When I was a boy
My mother often said to me,
Get married boy, and see,
How happy you will be.

I have looked all over,
But no girlie can I find,
Who seems to be just like
The little girl I have in mind.

I Will Wait For You

Written by Norman Gimbel

Music by Michel Legrand

From the 1964 film "The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg"

If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms

Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day remember how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forevermore I will wait for you

The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms

If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're here beside me, till I'm touching you
And forevermore sharing your love

I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover

Words by Mort Dixon, music by Harry Woods (1927)

Popularized in 1948 by Art Mooney

I'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain,
Third is the roses that grow in the lane.

No need explaining, the one remaining
Is somebody I adore.
I'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before

In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town

By Joe Young, Little Jack Little, and John Siras (1932)

This song was a Depression-era song which has since become a singalong standard. It was featured in the 1939 movie "The Roaring Twenties" and the 1951 movie "Lullaby of Broadway."

I'm up in the world, but I'd give the world to be where I used to be, A heavenly nest, where I rest the best, means more than the world to me.

It's only a shanty in old Shanty Town the roof is so slanty it touches the ground. But my tumbled down shack by an old railroad track, like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back.

I'd give up a palace if I were a king. It's more than a palace, it's my everything. There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown in a shanty in old Shanty Town.
