leavin' soon for New York. Come wid me, dat's where

Up on upper Fi'th Avenue
An' through Harlem we'll go struttin',
We'll go astruttin',
An' dere'll be nuttin'
Too good for you.
I'll dress you in silks and satins
In de latest Paris styles.
And de blues you'll be forgettin',
You'll be forgettin',
There'll be no frettin'
Jes nothin' but smiles.
Come along wid me, Hey dat's de place,
Don't be a fool, come along, come along.
There's a boat dat's leavin' soon for New York
Come wid me, dat's where we belong, sister,
Dat's where we belong! Come on, Bess!
BESS
You low, crawlin' hound! Get away from my door, I tells
you, leave it, you rattlesnake. Dat's what you is,
a rattlesnake!

It Ain't Necessarily So Lyrics

It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so
The things that you liable to read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so
You know David was small but, oh my
Little David was small but, oh my
He fought Big Goliath who just lay down and died
Little David might have been small but, oh my
Now Jonah, he lived in the whale
Old Jonah, he lived in the whale
Now he made his home in that fish's abdomen
Jonah resided in the whale
But it ain't necessarily so, no, it ain't necessarily so
They tell all your children that the devil, he's a villain
It ain't necessarily so
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
And who calls that living when no girls gonna give in to no man
What's nine hundred years?
It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so
The things that you liable to read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so, no, it ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so

Gonna Build a Mountain Lyrics

Gonna build a mountain
From a little hill
Gonna build me a mountain
'Least I hope I will
Gonna build a mountain
Gonna build it high
I don't know how I'm gonna do it
I only know I'm gonna try

Gonna build me a daydream
From a little hope
Gonna push that daydream
Up the mountain slope
Gonna build a daydream
Gonna see it through
Gonna build a mountain and a daydream
Gonna make them both come true

Gonna build a heaven
From a little hell
Gonna build me a heaven
And I know darn well
If I build my mountain with a lot of care
And take my daydream up the mountain
And heaven will be waiting there

When I build that heaven as I will someday
And the lord sends Gabriel to take me away
What a fine young son to take my place
I'll leave a son in my heaven on earth
With the good lord's grace

With a fine young son to take my place
I'll leave a son in my heaven on earth
With the good lord's grace

Gonna build a mountain

The Candy Man Lyrics

Candy Man, hey Candy Man
Alright everybody, gather around
The Candy Man is here
What kind of candy do you want?
Sweet chocolate? Chocolate walnut candy?
Gum drops? Anything you want
You've come to the right man because
I'm the Candy Man

Who can take a sunrise?
(Who can take a sunrise?)
Sprinkle it with dew
(Sprinkle it with dew)
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two

The Candy Man (the candy man)
The Candy Man can (the candy man can)
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)

Who can take the rainbow?
(Who can take the rainbow?)
Wrap it in a sigh
(Wrap it in a sigh)
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie

The Candy Man (the candy man)
The Candy Man can (the candy man can)
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)

The Candy Man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Now, you talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes

Oh, who can take tomorrow?
(Who can take tomorrow?)
Dip it in a dream
(Dip it in a dream)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

The Candy Man (the candy man)
The Candy Man can (the candy man can)
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)

The Candy Man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes

Yeah, yeah, yeah, who can take tomorrow?
(Who can take tomorrow?)
Dip it in a dream
(Dip it in a dream)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream

The Candy Man (the candy man)
The Candy Man can (the candy man can)
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)

Yes, the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)

A candy man, a candy man, a candy man
Makes the world taste good
A candy man, a candy man, a candy man
Makes the world taste good
A candy man, a candy man
