I`ve sung about the birds and bees
The daffydown dillies and the shady trees
I`ve covered mother nature inside out.
There`s the old ox road, the old millstream
Pennies from heaven and darn that dream
Nothin that I haven`t sung about.
I`ve sung some songs of sacrifice
I`ve even sung a few that offered good advice.
I`ve covered all emotions there`s no doubt.
Like a fine romance, learn to croon
Sing you sinners, and love in bloom.
Nothing that I haven`t sung about.
There`s many a chorus
I`ve sang of Delores.
Remember Marquita, and sweet Riorita?
There`s Mary and Sally, and Rose Mexicali.
From Emiline to Clementine
They all got equal time.
Yes, musically I`ve been around
I`ve covered almost every town
I`ve always been a vocal gadabout.
From the Swanee River, to Galway Bay,
Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe
There`s nothing that I haven`t sung about.
I found a million dollar baby in a ten cent store
A pockeful of dreams and plenty more
Since anything goes I pick Sweet Sue
Spose that`s the natural thing to do.
We began the beguine and I could feel it start
I said please be careful that`s my heart!
In the cool of the evening `neath the autumn leaves
We call for music, maestro please!
There`s a great temptation as we cuddle near
And I whispered I surrender dear.
The bells of St Mary`s rang in the steeple
For all the dear friends and gentle kind of people.
I said babe I got you under my skin
It had to be you `cause love walked in.
From here on in you`ll be going my way
Til the blue of the night meets the gold of the day.
I`ve sung about Dolly, my Rosie of Tralee
I`ve sung of Chicago, and that song from Zhivago.
The old Mississippi and Tintipitipi.
The winter, summer, spring and fall
I`ve covered one and all
And I love `em one and all!
I`ve tried to sing these modern songs
I just can`t figure where that style belongs
The mad rock, acid rock, country, western, soul.
But when I try to sing `em I ain`t nowhere
I ain`t got the clothes and I ain`t got the hair
But I`ll keep tryin` til there is no doubt
There ain`t nothing, really nothing,
That I haven`t sung about!
