Climb aboard a butterfly,
An’ take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An’ do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin’ off the trees,
On a dreamer’s holiday!

Every day for breakfast,
There’s a dish of scrambled stars,
An’ for lunchin’ you’ll be munchin’
Rainbow candy bars,
You’ll be livin’ a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer’s holiday!

Make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!

Help yourself to happiness,
An’ sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an’ concentrate,
An’ dream for all you’re worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer’s holiday!

You, climb aboard a butterfly,
An’ take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An’ do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin’ off the trees,
On a dreamer’s holiday!

Every day for breakfast,
There’s a dish of scrambled stars,
And for lunchin’ you’ll be munchin’
Rainbow candy bars,
You’ll be livin’ a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer’s holiday!

Come on, we’re gonna make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!

Help yourself to happiness,
An’ sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an’ concentrate,
An’ dream for all you’re worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer’s holiday!

Music by Mabel Wayne
with lyrics by Kim Gannon , 1949

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

< instrumental break >
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

Music and Lyrics by Al Hoffman, Mack David
and Jerry Livingston

Yesterday I heard the rain,
whispering your name,
asking where you’d gone . . .

It fell softly from the clouds
on the silent crowds,
as I wandered on . . .

Out of doorways
black umbrellas came to pursue me,
Faceless people as they passed
were looking through me,
no one knew me . . .

Yesterday I shut my eyes,
face-up to the skies,
drinkin’ in the rain . . .

But your image still was there
floating in the air,
brighter than a flame . . .

Yesterday I saw a city,
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain,
whispering your name,
Whispering your name . . .

< instrumental break >

Yesterday I saw a city,
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain,
whispering your name,
whispering your name,
whispering your name . . .

Music by Canache Armando Manzanero
with English lyrics by Gene Lees

Why she had to go,
I don’t know, she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday!

Yesterday . . . all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday!

Suddenly . . . I’m not half the man I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly!

Why she had to go,
I don’t know, she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday!

< instrumental break >

Yesterday . . . love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday!

Oh I believe in yesterday!

Words and Music by John Lennon
and Paul McCartney, 1966

Oh, my love, my darling,
I’ve hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .

Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?

I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow
to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh,
“Wait for me, wait for me”
“I’ll be comin’ home, wait for me!”

Oh, my love, my darling,
I’ve hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .

Time goes by so slowly
an’ time can do so much.
Are you still mine?

I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me

Words and Music by Alex North
and Hy Zaret

One day is like another,
The sun climbs in the sky,
The twilight brings the echo,
Of your last goodbye!

One day is like another,
The waves cry on the shore,
This empty world is whirling,
Like the day before!

The stars above are quiet eyes,
They only watch to see if we’re together,
They never seem to realize,
You didn’t mean your love would last forever!

The sun will rise tomorrow,
And circle in the blue,
One day is like another,
Lonely without you!

Un giorno dopo l’altro
la vita se ne va.
Doani sar? un giorno uguale a ieri.

Un giorno dopo l’altro,
One day is like another . . .

Music by Luigi Tenco
with lyrics by Earl S. Shuman

Take me home,
Take me in,
Kiss away where I’ve been . . .

Take me home,
Take me there,
Make me safe, make me warm,
Make me stay, make me care . . .

Be my long journey’s end,
Be my lover,
My friend . . .

Take my word,
I’ll be true,
Take my hand,
Take me home, with you!

The river runs to find the sea,
A swallow flies from tree to tree,
A pebble rolls from door to door,
Until the day it finds,
That it can roll no more!

Take me home,
Take me in,
Kiss away where I’ve been . . .

Take my word,
I’ll be true,
Take my hand,
Take me home, with you!

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
tell your pa pa-paya
you’re comin’ home with me . . . yip!

My sweet pa-paya mamma wears a bamboo skirt
She dances barefoot an’ her feet don’t hurt
We drink pa-pays by the moonlit shore
And when we kiss she hollers “More, More, More!”

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you’re comin’ home with me! ( Yip! )

I came to Cuba for a holiday, pa-paya mama took her heart away
Vacation’s over and it’s time to go, and when we kiss she hollers “No, No, No!”

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you’re comin’ home with me! ( Yip! )

< instrumental break >

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
tell your pa pa-paya
you’re comin’ home with me . . . yip!

My island queen I’ll build a hut for you
The floors an’ doors will be the best bamboo
And ‘neath the Louisiana moon above
We’ll sip pa-paya and we’ll love, love love!

Pa-paya, pa-paya, pa-paya, paya, paya
pa pa pa-paya!

In time we’ll raise a little family
To play beneath the new pa-paya tree
We’ll send your papa fifty-cent cigar
‘Cause he’s a proud pa-paya grand-pa-pa!

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you’re comin’ home with me!
Pa-paya mama ( Yahoo! ) pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you’re comin’ home with me! ( Yip! )

Pa-paya, pa-paya, pa-paya!

O, little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
the silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
the everlasting light
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary
and gather all above
while mortals sleep the angels keep
their watch of wond’ring love!
O, morning stars together
proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God our King
and peace to men on earth!

O, Holy Child of Bethlehem
descend to us we pray
cast out our sin, and enter in,
be born in us today!
We hear the Christmas Angels,
the great glad tidings tell
O, come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emanuel!

Words and Music by Phillips Brooks
and Lewis H. Redner

Adeste fidelis
Laeti triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte regem angelorum
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus Dominum.

O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels!

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens of Heav’n above.
Glory to God
In the Highest glory!

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
