Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! lyrics - Dean Martin

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Man, It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really grab me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Mistletoe And Holly lyrics - Dean Martin

Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents
Countrysides covered with snow

Oh, by gosh, by jingle
It's time for carols and Kris Kringle
Overeating, merry greetings
From relatives you don't know

Then comes that big night
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing a Yuletide hymn

Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties an' granny's pies
An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you

[Interlude:]
Then comes that big night
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
[Singing a Yuletide hymn]

Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties an' granny's pies
An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you

The First Noel lyrics - Dean Martin

The first Noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

This star drew night to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee;
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Baby It's Cold Outside lyrics - Dean Martin

(I really can't stay) But, baby, it's cold outside
(I've got to go away) But, baby, it's cold outside
(This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in
(So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice

(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful, what's your hurry
(My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar
(So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful, please don't hurry
(Well, maybe just half a drink more) Put some records on while I pour

(The neighbors might think) Baby, it's bad out there
(Say what's in this drink) No cabs to be had out there
(I wish I knew how) Your eyes are like starlight now
(To break this spell) I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

(I ought to say no, no, no, sir) Mind if I move in closer
(At least I'm gonna say that I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride
(I really can't stay) Baby, don't hold doubt
[Both] Baby, it's cold outside

(I simply must go) Baby, it's cold outside
(The answer is no) Baby, it's cold outside
(The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in
(So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm

(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious
(My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore
(My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious
(But maybe just a cigarette more) Never such a blizzard before

(I got to get home) But, baby, you'd freeze out there
(Say lend me a coat) It's up to your knees out there
(You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand
(But don't you see) How can you do this thing to me

(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow
(At least there will be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died
(I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt
[Both] Baby, it's cold
[Both] Baby, it's cold outside

I Believe lyrics - Dean Martin

I believe, I believe,
I believe in wishing wells,
But I also believe in a lot of things,
Things the daisy tells,
I believe, I believe that a four-leaf clover brings,
Lots of luck, lots of joy, lots of happiness,
I believe those things.
And when it's christmas time I believe in santa claus,
Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because
I believe, I believe,
I believe that dreams come true,
If you wish for a dream by a wishing well,
Don't tell your wish or you'll break the spell,
It may sound naive, but that's what I believe.

[Instrumental]

And when it's christmas,
I try to believe in santa claus,
Why do I believe,
I guess that I believe because
I believe, I believe,
I do believe that dreams come true,
And if you wish for a dream by the wishing well,
Don't you tell the wish or you'll break the spell,
It may sound naive,
But that's what I happen to believe.

Silver Bells lyrics - Dean Martin

City sidewalks busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing people passing meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells
Silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
Hear them sing
Soon it'll be Christmas day

Silver bells
Silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
Hear them ring
Soon it'll be Christmas day

The Christmas Song lyrics - Dean Martin

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey
and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
and goodies in his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple song
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

And so I'm offering this simple song
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing lyrics - Dean Martin

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled

Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king

Hail the heav'n-born prince of peace
Hail the son of rightousness
Light and life to all he brings
Risen with healing in his wings

Mild he lays his glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled

Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king

(Glory) Glory to the new born king

With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born
Glory to the new born
Glory to the new, born king

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer lyrics - Dean Martin

You know Dasher and Dancer,
Prancer and Vixen,
You know Comet and Cupid,
Donner and Blitzen,
Say, but do you recall
That most important reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They wouldn't let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.

But then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history."
Rock it, Rudolph

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history."

The Christmas Waltz lyrics - Dean Martin

Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me

It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too

I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm lyrics - Dean Martin

The snow is snowing and the wind it is blowing
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm

I cannot remember the worst December
Just watch the icicles form
What do I care if icicles form
I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat off with my gloves
Who needs an overcoat I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire and the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm

I thought you ought to know my heart's on fire
The flame it just leaps higher
So I will weather the storm
Why do I care how much it storms
I've got my love
To keep me warm
I've got my love to keep me warm

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas lyrics - Dean Martin

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be
out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yule-tide gay
Next year all our troubles will be
miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon, we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

Silent Night lyrics - Dean Martin

Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
All is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

(Silent night)
(Holy night)
(All is calm)
(All is bright)
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
(Both) Sleep in heavenly peace

Jingle Bells lyrics - Dean Martin

Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride

White Christmas lyrics - Dean Martin

(Christmas white Christmas)
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I am dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

(I'm dreaming of a white Christmas)
(With every Christmas card I write)
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear lyrics - Dean Martin

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
'Peace on the earth, good will to men,'
From heav'n's all-gracious King.
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing!

Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long,
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!

Still thro' the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurl'd;
And still their heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov'ring wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.

All ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look, now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!

For lo! the days are hast'ning on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing!

Winter Wonderland lyrics - Dean Martin

(Wonderland winter wonderland wonderland)
Sleigh bells ring are you listening
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight oh we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He's singing a song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

Well in the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married we say no man
But you can do the job when you're in town

Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid of the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland

(In the meadow we can build a snowman)
And pretend he's a circus clown
We have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down

Oh when it snows ain't it filling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

(Wonderland wonderland)

I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Dean Martin

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
And you'll be in my dreams

I'll be home this Christmas, darling
I'll be coming home to you
And there's nothing in the world
Gonna get in my way

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
And you'll be in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
Till then you'll be in my dreams

Marshmallow World lyrics - Dean Martin

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round.

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose wont freeze.

The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along

It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world.

"Nashville Sessions" (1983)

Old Bones lyrics - Dean Martin

Old bones inside an old raincoat
Old bones inside of old shoes
Old friends at the hotel
Come by to wish me well
And keep me up to date on all the old news

Sometimes I have an old whiskey
And I fall asleep in my chair
And I dream that I'm a man
Much younger than I am
I bet you'd think by now that I wouldn't care

But I love life, I'd like to do it again
Though I might not be much more than I've ever been
Just to have the chance to turn back the hands
And let my life begin
Oh yeah, I'd like to do it again

It's time for takin' it easy
It's time for takin' it slow
Old bones don't move so fast
As they did once in the past
Now if I have to run, I simply don't go

But I love life, I'd like to live it again
Though I might not be much more than I've ever been
Just to have the chance to turn back the hands
And let my life begin
Oh yeah, I'd like to do it again

Oh yeah, I'd like to do it again

Everybody's Had The Blues lyrics - Dean Martin

(originally by Merle Haggard)

Everybody sings the blues sometimes everybody knows the tune
Yeah everybody knows the way I'm feeling cause everybody's had the blues

A lonely song someone is gone a story old as time
Love hate or want and wait till mis'ry fills your mind
Everybody knows the way I'm feeling cause everybody's had the blues

A lonely song someone is gone...

Don't Give Up On Me lyrics - Dean Martin

I think of all the things I promised you
There's still so many things I didn't do
I know it hasn't been the way that you expected it to be
But I need you girl don't give up on me

It never crossed my mind what you go through
For giving me each time for hurting you
I guess a foolish man just takes for granted that's how it should be
But I need you girl don't give up on me

You make up for all the bad in me with all the good in you
All the wrong I've ever had in me can't match the good in you
So maybe given time I'll come around to what I oughta be
But I need you girl don't give up on me

So maybe given time I'll come around to what I oughta be
But I need you girl don't give up on me

In Love Up To My Heart lyrics - Dean Martin

I always left some room to back away
Whenever love would get too close to me
I've always kept my feet on solid ground
And my head out of a cloud, no broken heart for me

But there you were, and there I was off-guard
Not able to protect me from your charm
And I felt myself falling further
Closer you got
And I fell in love up to my heart

I fell in love up to my heart
I couldn't stop myself, I went too far
I was standing on the edge and then
Next thing I knew I had
Fallen love up to my heart

I can feel myself fallin' more and more
And there's no use in fighting anymore
'Cause you went to my head and
All my defenses fell apart
And here I am, in love up to my heart

I fell in love up to my heart
I couldn't stop myself, I went too far
I was standing on the edge and then
Next thing I knew I had
Fallen love up to my heart

I was standing on the edge and then
Next thing I knew I had
Fallen love up to my heart

Shoulder To Shoulder lyrics - Dean Martin

Shoulder to shoulder arm in arm
Walkin' on could number nine
So much in love the way we used to be
Once upon a time once upon a time

I'll put that smile back on your face
The one this fool once took away
Each day I'll tell you how much I care
And say the things that I forgot to say

Well we'll be shoulder to shoulder...

I'll bring you love and happiness
And treat your heart so tenderly
Though friends may tell you fools never learn
I hope you'll take another chance on me

So we'll be shoulder to shoulder...

(Shoulder to shoulder arm in arm)
Walkin' on could number nine
So much in love the way we used to be
Once upon a time once upon a time
(Shoulder to shoulder arm in arm)

Since I Met You Baby lyrics - Dean Martin

Since I met you baby my whole life has changed
Since I met you baby my whole life has changed
And everybody tells me I'm not the same

I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to
'Cause since I met you baby all I need is you

Since I met you baby I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try to please you in every way I can

My First Country Song lyrics - Dean Martin

I think that I just wrote my first country song
I've had this lonesome hurtin' feeling all night long
I didn't know I love her and now she's gone
I think that I just wrote my first country song

I always like to hear those country singers sing
And the way they play those guitars boy they sure do make 'em ring
But when they sing the words I can never sing along
I didn't believe things happen that way
I thought our love was here to stay
Till yesterday she walked away and now they're hittin' home

I think that I just wrote my first country song...

You wrote some words about the good times that you had
And then some lines about losing you mind or missing her so bad
And you did leave out a thing about the way you done her wrong
I sang my song to the saddest note that anybody ever wrote
I think that you just wrote your first country song

I think that I just wrote my first country song...

Drinking Champagne lyrics - Dean Martin

I'm drinking champagne and feeling no pain till early morning
Dining and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
And I'm having a fling with a pretty young thing till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

Guilty conscience I guess though I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine

So I'll keep drinking champagne feeling no pain till early morning
Dining and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
I'll keep having a fling with a pretty young thing till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

I'll keep drinking champagne feeling no pain till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind
(I'll keep drinking champagne feeling no pain till early morning)
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

Hangin' Around With You lyrics - Dean Martin

Hangin' around with you
Wonderful thing to do
Having a time the moment that I'm with you
Finding a love so true
Something I never knew
Something I found just hangin' around with you

Taking a flier around the blue
Floating through space
Traveling higher than heaven's door
Locked in your sweet embrace
Nothing but loving you
Beautiful thing for two
Paradise found just hangin' around with you

Hangin' around with you
Wonderful thing to do
Having a time the moment that I'm with you
Finding a love so true
Something I never knew
Something I found just hangin' around with you

Taking a flier around the blue
Floating through space
Traveling higher than heaven's door
Locked in your sweet embrace
Nothing but loving you
Beautiful thing for two
Paradise found just hangin' around with you

Paradise found just hangin' around with you

Love Put A Song In My Heart lyrics - Dean Martin

Yes your love put a song put a song put a song in my heart
Never have I heard this beautiful music before
Yes your love put a song put a song put a song in my heart
A beautiful song of two people in love evermore

It wasn't too long ago I thought I would never know
What reason has anyone to sing a happy song
I knew only loneliness but then I found happiness
And now I just want the world to smile and sing along

Cause your love put a song put a song...
Yes your love put a song put a song...

"Once In A While" (1978)



Twilight On The Trail lyrics - Dean Martin

When it's twilight on the trail
And I jump along the world is like a dream
And the wripple of the stream is my song

When it's twilight on the trail
And I rest once more my ceiling is the sky
And the grass on which I lie is my floor

Never ever have a nickel in my jeans
Never ever have a debt to pay
Still I understand what real contentment means
Guess I was born born that way
When it's twilight on the trail
And my voice is still please plant this heart of mine
Underneath that lonesome pine on the hill

Never ever have a nickel in my jeans...

Love Thy Neighbor lyrics - Dean Martin

Love thy neighbor walk up and say how be ye
Gee but I'm glad to see ye pal how's tricks what's new
Oh love thy neighbor offer to share her burden
Tell her to say the word'n you'll see her through

Now especially if there should be a beautiful girl next door
Now you say to that girl next door
Don't think I'm bold but my mama told me
To love thy neighbor and you will find your labor
A great deal easier life will be breezier if you love thy neighbor

Oh love thy neighbor walk up and say how be ye...
Now especially if there should be...

Without A Word Of Warning lyrics - Dean Martin


Without a word of warning my life has begun
Without a word of warning two hearts beat as one
From out of nowhere you came to me
A breeze passed by whispering your name to me
And without a word of warning strange as it seems
We kissed and with that kiss you invaded my dreams
I don't know how it ever happened out of the blue up above
You came along to answer my song of love
I don't know how it ever happened out of the blue up above
You came along to answer my song of love

That Old Gang Of Mine lyrics - Dean Martin

Gee but I'd give the world to see that old gang of mine
I can't forget that old quartet that sang Sweet Adeline

Goodbye forever old fellows and gals
Goodbye forever old sweethearts and pals
God Bless them
Gee but I'd give the world to see that old old gang of mine

(Gee but I'd give the world to see that old gang of mine)
I can't forget that old quartet that sang Sweet Adeline

Goodbye forever old fellows and gals...

The Day You Came Along lyrics - Dean Martin

..I only drifted before you came along
The fort was lifted before you came along
I sent the blackbirds right back where they belong
The day you came along

I may have...

It's Magic lyrics - Dean Martin

(originally by Doris Day)

Why do I tell me myself these things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you

You sigh the song begins you speak and I hear violins it's magic
The stars desert the skies and rush to nestle in your eyes it's magic
Without a golden wand or mystic charms
Fantastic things begin when I am in your arms

When we walk hand-in-hand the world becomes a wonderland it's magic
How else can I explain those rainbows when there ain't no rain it's magic
Why do I tell me myself these things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you

I Cried For You lyrics - Dean Martin

I cried for you now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning that's one thing you're learning

I cried for you oh what a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
And I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you now it's your turn to cry over me

(I cried for you) what a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
And I found a heart oh just a little bit truer
I cried for you now it's your turn to cry over me

"Sittin' On The Top Of The World" (1973)



I'm Sitting On The Top Of The World lyrics - Dean Martin

I'm sitting on top of the world,
Just rolling along, just rolling along.
I'm quitting the blues of the world,
Just singing a song, just singing a song.

Glory, hallelujah, I just phoned the parson,
"Hey, Par, get ready to call!"
Just like humpty dumpty,
I'm ready to fall.

I'm sitting on top of the world,
Just rolling along, just rolling along.
I'm quitting the blues of the world,
Just singing a song, just singing a song

I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now lyrics - Dean Martin

I wonder who's kissing her now
I wonder who's teaching her now
I wonder who's looking right smack in the eyes
Oh breathing sighs and telling lies

Well I wonder who's buying the wine
For the lips that I used to call mine
Well I wonder if she ever tells him of me
Wonder who's kissing her now

Oh I wonder who's buying the wine
For the lips that I used to call mine
Well I wonder if she ever tells him of me
I wonder who's kissing her now

Rambling Rose lyrics - Dean Martin

Everyone knows she's a rambling rose, she's a beauty growing wild
Birds in their nests seem to whistle their best
Mother Nature's favorite child
She's got that kind of affection that just winds around your heart
You'd better run for protection or she might upset your flower cart

Hate to disclose that my rambling rose is gonna meet her Waterloo
I'll let her play but she can't get away 'cause I know just what to do
Anyone knows you can train a rose to be a clinging vine
So from this day hence there'll be a picket fence round that rambling rose of mine

She's got that kind of affection that just winds around your heart
You'd better run for protection or she might upset your flower cart
Hate to disclose that my rambling rose is gonna meet her Waterloo
I'll let her play but she can't get away 'cause I know just what to do
Anyone knows you can train a rose to be a clinging vine
So from this day hence there'll be a picket fence round that rambling rose of mine

Almost Like Being In Love lyrics - Dean Martin

What a day this has been what a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face for the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be like a bell that is ringin' for me
And from the way that I feel when that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling swear I was falling almost like being in love

(What a day this has been what a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love)
Oh there's a smile on my face for the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be...

It's A Good Day lyrics - Dean Martin

Yeah it's a good day for singin' a song
And it's a good good day for movin' along
Yeah it's a good day how could anything go wrong
A good day from morning till night

Yes it's a good day for shinin' your shoes
And it's a good good day for losin' the blues
Everything to gain and nothing to lose
Cause it's a good day from morning till night

I said to the sun good morning sun rise and shine today
You know you've got to get goin' if you're gonna make a showin'
And you know you've got the right of way

Cause it's a good day for payin' your bills
And it's a good day for curin' your ills
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills
Cause it's a good day from morning till night

(I said to the sun good morning sun rise and shine today
You know you've got to get goin' if you're gonna make a showin'
And you know you've got the right of way)

Cause it's a good day for payin' your bills...
Good day from morning till night yeah
(Good good day from morning till night)

At Sundown lyrics - Dean Martin

Every little breeze is sighin'
Of love undyin' at sundown
Every little bird is restin'
And feather nestin' at sundown.

Each little rosebud is sleeping
While shadows are creeping
In a little cottage cozy
The world seems rosy at sundown.

Where a loving smile will greet me
And always meet me at sundown
I seem to sigh I'm in heaven
When night is fallin'
And love is callin' me home.

(Every little breeze is sighin'
Of love undyin' at sundown
Every little bird is restin'
And feather nestin' at sundown.)

Each little rosebud is sleeping
While shadows are creeping
In a little cottage cozy
The world seems rosy at sundown.

Callin' me home, callin' me home...

When The Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along lyrics - Dean Martin

When the red red robin comes bob bob bobbin' along along
There'll be no more sobbin' when he starts throbbin' his old sweet song
Wake up wake up you sleepy head get up get up get out of bed
Cheer up cheer up the sun is red live love laugh and be happy

What if I've been blue now I'm walkin' through fields of flowers
Rain may glisten but I still listen for hours and hours
Well I'm just a kid again doing what I did again singin' a song
When the red red robin comes bob bob bobbin' along along
What if I've been blue...

(Wake up wake up you sleepy head get up get up get out of bed
Cheer up cheer up the sun is red live love laugh and be happy)

What if I've been blue...

You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want To Do It) lyrics - Dean Martin

You made me love you I didn't wanna do it didn't wanna do it
You made me want you all the time you knew it I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes you made me glad
But there were times my darling you made me feel so bad

You made me sigh for I'm gonna tell ye didn't wanna tell ye
I want some love that's true yes I do indeed I do you know I do
Give me give me give me what I cry for
You know you got the brand of kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you

(You made me sigh for I didn't wanna tell ye didn't wanna tell ye
I want some love that's true yes I do indeed I do you know I do)
Oh give me give me give me what I cry for
You know you got the brand of kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you

I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles lyrics - Dean Martin

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams
They fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
When shadows creep,
When I'm asleep,
To lands of hope I stray!

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams
They fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.

"Dino" (1972)

I Don't Know What I'm Doing lyrics - Dean Martin

(I don't know what I'm doing more than half of the time)

When the party is over and the laughter is through
And the last song stops playing I'll be thinking of you
For there's such a sweet mem'ry when you're crossing my mind
I don't know what I'm doing more than half of the time

I don't know what I'm doing with this drink in my hand
Guess I just gone to pieces like a ship on the sand
Your sweet name I keep calling while you jumble my mind
I don't know what I'm doing more than half of the time
(I don't know what I'm doing more than half of the time)

I may never find sunshine if I'd never find you
So I'll search all the places where the lights burning blue
Oh you just might be lonesome when I'm fooling my mind
I don't know what I'm doing more than half of the time
I don't know what I'm doing more than half of the time

Right Kind Of Woman lyrics - Dean Martin

...With a hug and a kiss for a shield
For the right kind of woman

I would keep every tear from her eye
There is nothing that I wouldn't try
I would pull down the stars from the sky
For the right kind of woman

I would make her queen on a throne
If she promised to be mine alone...

The Small Exception Of Me lyrics - Dean Martin

Everybody knows you're leaving me for good
Everybody tells me now they knew you would
It's a well known secret I just couldn't see
And the whole world knew with a small exception of me

Everybody knows we cried our final tears
Everybody knows we wasted all these years
Long ago they said I'd have to sat you free
And the whole world knew with a small exception of me

With a small exception of me the world is wise
With a small exception of me it's no surprise

So it's funny the way that I could be so blind
Funny when it's out of sight it's out of mind
Now the truth has known and it's plain enough to see
That the whole world knew with a small exception of me

Party Dolls And Wine lyrics - Dean Martin

Neon lights barroom bands hotel rooms one night stands
When it's party time you'll find me at the head of the line
Midnight cowboy singing his song to every girl who comes along
My life's made up of party dolls and wine

Party dolls and wine yeah drink and let the good times roll
Party dolls and wine making mem'ries for the days when I grow old

They say that someday I'll meet my match but until that time down the hatch
With that bubbling sparkling tantalizing fruit of the vine
I know someday I'll be put in my place but I'll die happy with a smile on my face
Remembering all those party dolls and wine

Party dolls and wine yeah drink and let the good times roll...

Midnight cowboy singing his song to every girl who comes along
My life's made up of party dolls and wine

Party dolls and wine yeah drink and let the good times roll...
Party dolls and wine yeah drink and let the good times roll...

Blue Memories lyrics - Dean Martin

Saturday evening it started all over for me
Though I promised myself never again would it be
You phoned and said meet me and even as I told you no
Temptation was a winnin' I felt my feet start to go

That's how blue mem'ries get started all over again
That's what keeps a jukebox play until you know when
And that's what makes a guy cling to warm red wine
Cause those blue mem'ries can sure get lonesome some time
Saturday evening it started all over for me...
That's how blue mem'ries...

(That's what makes a guy cling to warm red wine)
Cause those blue mem'ries can sure get lonesome some time
(Those blue mem'ries can sure get lonesome some time
Those blue mem'ries can sure get lonesome some time)

I Can Give You What You Want Now lyrics - Dean Martin

I can give you what you want now if you still want what I could give
I can give the love you want now your love is all I need to live
I can give you what you want now lonesliness has made me see
I can give you what you want now if love is all you need from me

I tried to get the things I wanted but I wanted them for you
When all you ever really needed was a simple I love you
If you can tell me that you love me and mean it like you used to do
I can give you what you want now I can make your dreams come true

I can give you what you want now loneliness has made me see
I can give you what you want now if you dtill want to see from me
(I can give you what you want now)

Kiss The World Goodbye lyrics - Dean Martin

I never had no regrets boys not for nothin' I've done
I owed the devil some debts boys paid 'em all up but one
And I don't even regret the livin' that I'll be leaving behind
I've gotten weary of searching for something I couldn't find

I'm going down to the shade by the river one more time
And feel the breeze on my face before I die
I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck for the losers
And then bend down kiss the world goodbye

Come to lucky-in-lovin' I never had no complains
They never said I was evil but then I wasn't no saint
I'm just a river that rolled forever and never got to the sea
I just ain't blamin' nobody I had it coming to me

I'm going down to the shade by the river one more time...
I never had no regrets boys not for nothin' I've done...

Just The Other Side Of Nowhere lyrics - Dean Martin

I come from just the other side of nowhere to this big time lonesome town
They got a lotta ice and snow here half as cold as all the people I found
Every way I've tried to go here seems to bring me down
Seen about enough to know where I belong

I've got a mind to see the headlight
Shining on that old white line between my heart and home
Sick of spendin' Sundays wishing they were Mondays sittin' in a park alone
So give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me any lovin' way but wrong
Tell 'em that the pride of just the other side of nowhere going home

Taking nothing but to show there for these dues that I've paid
But the soul I almost sold here and the body I've been given away
Fadin' from the neon night time glow here headin' for the light of day
Just the other side of nowhere going home
Just the other side of nowhere going home

Guess Who lyrics - Dean Martin

Someone really loves you guess who oh guess who
Someone really cares guess who
Open your heart surely then you'll see
That this someone who cares is me

Someone will wait eternally
Someone who wants your love desperately
Open up your heart surely then you'll see
That this someone who cares is me

(Someone really loves you) guess who oh guess who
(Someone really cares) guess who
Open up your heart surely then you'll see
That this someone who cares is me
(Someone someone)

What's Yesterday lyrics - Dean Martin

What's yesterday if we can never say
Remember when

Life with no past mm a show with no cast
Can you picture them

Once a day when the chill just won't go away
You have something to warn you in a woman's way

Time will allow one moment of now
Then it's yesterday

Girl you've got to pause to make time stand still
Don't throw this away

Move your eyes in a way that it tickled me
You're no longer afraid you believe in me

Now take a deep breath smile you will regret
Why just can't you wait

Look there's the sun your life has just begun
Only yesterday

The coffee's in the cup the toast is popping up
The smoke's in her hair
La la...

"For The Good Times" (1971)

For The Good Times lyrics - Dean Martin

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

I'll get along, you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

Marry Me lyrics - Dean Martin


I'm coming back back home to you
And I know now for sure that my wandering day is through
I've been around most every place
But all that I ever see is your loving face

When I come back darling say you'll marry me
I wanna spend my life with you
A little band of gold for everyone to see
I'll tell the world when you'll marry me

Well out of mind is out of sight
Didn't know that your love would be watchin' me each night
But I have fun with someone new
Now that I know it's your love that's so true

When I come back darling say you'll marry me...
When I come back darling say you'll marry me...

Georgia Sunshine lyrics - Dean Martin

Oh how I miss that Georgia sunshine oh how I wish that I was there
Yeah to wake up every morning to the smell of them Georgia pines
Each blossom's blooming everywhere

My restless young heart to be wandering
Far from that old hometown of mine
Oh how I long every minute that I've been gone
To get myself back home to that Georgia sunshine

I wander ground town to town ain't many places I ain't go
But the road I see it keeps calling me
It's the road that take this Georgia boy back home

Oh how I miss that Georgia sunshine oh how I wish that I was there...
My restless young heart to be wandering...

Invisible Tears lyrics - Dean Martin

Invisible tears in my eyes incredible pain in my heart
Indestructible memories are passing in review
Impossible though things may get improbable I will forget
Indelible memories of sweet lovable you

You're back again so I'll let you in
Although I'm only seeing pictures from the past
Those arms are not real but somehow I feel
If I'd just close my eyes then maybe it'll last

Invisible tears in my eyes incredible pain in my heart...
Indelible memories of sweet lovable you
Indelible memories of sweet lovable you

Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head lyrics - Dean Martin

(originally by B.J. Thomas)

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
Just like a guy who's feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit, those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job, oh raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know, the blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me, 'cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free nothing's worryin' me

(It won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me)

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me, oh I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free nothin's worryin' me

Perfect Mountain lyrics - Dean Martin

Gonna find a perfect mountain gonna stay until I die
Drink of mother nature's fountain let my worries roll on by

Well the good times go easy and the bad times go slow
Even in the in-between times I can't let my worries go
Always wanting to go somewhere but I never fail to find
I grow tired of what I find there long for things I left behind

Gonna find a perfect mountain gonna stay until I die...

Well I can think of nothing better than a sweetheart for a friend
Before I find the two together I'm afraid my days shall end
Always wanting to go somewhere but I never fail to find
I grow tired of what I find there long for things I left behind

Gonna find a perfect mountain gonna stay until I die...
Let my worries roll on by

Raining In My Heart lyrics - Dean Martin

The sun is out the sky is blue there's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's raining raining in my heart
The weatherman says clear today he doesn't know you've gone away
And it's raining raining in my heart

Oh misery misery what's gonna become become of me
I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow
Cause it's raining raining in my heart

I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow
Cause it's raining raining in my heart
Raining in my heart

She's A Little Bit Country lyrics - Dean Martin

She's a big city girl in so many ways she walks and she talks up town
She's got something hard to find now-a-days that keeps me hangin' around

She's a little bit country makes me think of meadows and clover
Apple pie and a puppy named Rover and the good old days
Now she don't know what cheatin' means
I ain't got to teach her none of them things
She's a little bit country and I got country ways
I've been all around this trouble old world but I never found peace of mind
Till I met that pretty little city girl Lord you oughta make more of her kind

She's a little bit country makes me think of meadows and clover...
She's a little bit country and I got country ways

For Once In My Life lyrics - Dean Martin

For once in my life I have someone who needs me someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before I knew
Someone warm like you would make my dream come true

Oh for once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me not like it's hurt me before
For once I have something I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say this is mine you can't take it
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I have someone who needs me

Oh for once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me...

Sweetheart lyrics - Dean Martin

If your heart tells you so that you should leave me
Don't try to forget you and I never met
And before you'll fly one kiss should tell me why
You've forgotten all the words you once said

Long as I've got you there beside me
Long as you're there to stand and guide me
The love we shared no one can ever tear apart
Long as I've got this life I'm living
Long as it's you the love I'm willing
I'll keep on calling you sweetheart

If my love for you can make you happy
Just open the door you won't see me anymore
And before you'll fly one kiss should tell me why
You've forgotten all the words that you once said

Long as I've got you there beside me...
I'll keep on calling you sweetheart

"My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" (1970)

My Woman, My Woman, My Wife lyrics - Dean Martin

Hands that are strong, but wrinkled
Doin' work that never gets done
Hair that's lost some of the beauty
By too many hours in the sun

Eyes that show some disappointment
And there's been quite a lot in her life
She's the foundation I lean on
My woman, my woman, my wife

Everyday has been uphill
Oh, we've climbed, but we can't reach the top
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
She just smiles when I want to stop

Lips that are weary but tender
With love that strengthens my life
A Saint in a dress made of gingham
My woman, my woman, my wife

Two little babies were born in the Spring
But died when the Winter was new
I lost control of my mind and my soul
But my woman's faith carried us through

When she reaches that river
Lord, you know what she's worth
Give her that mansion up yonder
'Cause she's been through hell here on Earth

Lord, give her my share of Heaven
If I've earned any here in this life
'Cause, God, I believe she deserves it
My woman, my woman, my wife

Once A Day lyrics - Dean Martin

When you found somebody new, I thought I never would
Forget you, for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away
Until now, I'm down to hurtin' once a day

Once a day, all day long
And once a night, from dusk 'til dawn
The only time, I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, everyday, all day long

I'm so glad that I'm not like a friend I knew one time
He lost the one he loved, then slowly lost his mind
He sat around and cried his life away
Lucky me, I'm only crying once a day

Once a day, all day long
And once a night, from dusk 'til dawn
The only time, I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long

The only time, I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, everyday, all day long

Here We Go Again lyrics - Dean Martin

Here we go again she's back in town again
I'll take her back again one more time
Here we go again the phone will ring again
I'll be her fool again one more time

I've been there before and I'll try it again
But any fool knows that there's no way to win
Here we go again she'll break my heart again
I'll play the part again one more time

(I'll be her fool again one more time)

(I've been there before and I'll try it again)
But any fool knows that there's no way to win
Here we go again she'll break my heart again
I'll play the part again one more time

I'll be her fool again one more time...

Make The World Go Away lyrics - Dean Martin

Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me
And make the world go away

Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make the world go away

Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

The Tips Of My Fingers lyrics - Dean Martin

(I held you right on the tips of my fingers)
I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
Ah, but that was as close as I came

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yielding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
But I let it slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
And I should have known from the start
That it's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart

I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hands
But I let you slip right through my hands

Detroit City lyrics - Dean Martin

I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home

You know last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
And I dreamed about those cotton fields back home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother
I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long

I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home

folks think I'm big in Detroit city
From the letters I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars
And by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines

You know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
After all these years I find I've just been wasting my time
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride put on a southbound train and ride
And go on back to the loved ones the ones I left there waiting so far behind

I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home

Together Again lyrics - Dean Martin

Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters we're together again.

(Nothing else matters we're together again.)

Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms now where you belong
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters we're together again.

And nothing else matters we're together again.
(Together again...)

Heart Over Mind lyrics - Dean Martin

I love you so much that I can't leave you
Even though my mind tells me I should
Then you make me think you really love me
Then all my thoughts of leaving do no good

You've got me heart over mind worried all the time
Knowing you will always be the same
You'll keep hurtin' me I know but I just can't let you go
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change

Now friends tell me they see you out with others
In my heart I try hard to forget
You come home and tell me you still love me
I still hope there's some chance for us yet

You've got me heart over mind worried all the time
Knowing you will always be the same
You'll keep hurtin' me I know but I just can't let you go
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change.

'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change

Turn The World Around lyrics - Dean Martin

Turn the world around the other way
Back it up and stop on yesterday
Back to before that silly fight
And give me a chance to make things right.

I said some things I didn't mean to
Say things that I am sorry for today
Down on my knees I beg you
Please to turn the world around the other way.

I never really wanted us to break up
And I'm sorry for each teardrop that you've cried
We need to give our hearts a chance to make up
And darling will you stand in by my side.

We'll turn the world around the other way
Back to where it started yesterday
Just take my hand, together
We can turn the world around the other way.

Turn the world around the other way
Back it up and stop on yesterday
Just take my hand, together
We can turn the world around the other way.

Yes, turn the world around the other way...

It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin' lyrics - Dean Martin

(And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone)

I cry myself to sleep each night wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
The pillow where you lay your head now holds my lonely tears instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

It keeps right on a-hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

They say a man should never cry but when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
You broke my heart and set me free but you forgot your memory
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

"I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am" (1969)

I Take Alot Of Pride In What I Am lyrics - Dean Martin

Things I learned in a hobo jungle
Were things they never taught me in a class room
Like where to find a handout
While thumbing through Chicago in the afternoon

Hey I'm not bragging or complaining
I'm just talking to myself man to man
This old lentil fat I'm chewing
Didn't take alot of doing
But I take alot of pride in what I am

I guess I grew up a loner
Don't remember ever having any folks around
But I keep thumbing through the phonebooks
And looking for my Daddy's name in every town

And I meet lots of people
But I always end up leaving on the lam
Hey where I've been, where I'm going
I didn't take alot of knowing
But I take alot of pride in what I am

I never travel in a hurry
'Cause I got nobody waiting for me anywhere
Home is anywhere I'm living
If it's sleeping on some vacant beach or city square
Or if I'm working on some road gang
Or just living off the fat of our great land
I never been nobody's idol but at least I have a title
And I take alot of pride in what I am

This old lentil fat I'm chewing
Didn't take alot of doing
I take alot of pride in what I am

Make It Rain lyrics - Dean Martin

The wealthy ones like you look down
On the common folk like me
Makin' bets to what degree of fool we are

Through your rose-coloured windows
You see yourself above us
Standin' in the mud and gazin' at the stars

But the rich and poor have in common
The common cold, the heartburn and the heartache
Put our pants on just the same

Your worth don't make you better, babe
'Cause I can tread water, babe
As long as you think you make it rain

While you got your raisin', girl
And your diamond-studded world
I got pulled up on the hungry side o' town

I cut my teeth on bacon rind
There ain't no hide as tough as mine
But it might be fun awhile to be your clown

So, get your whip and do your thing
And I'll run around the ring
Ride my white horse, wear my armour too

Aah, but I don't easy blister, babe
I'll be your Court Jester, babe
Don't think you won't pay the fiddler too

I put your hand in mine
It was a shockin' time to find
The water hot, the current strong and deep and wet

You had me strugglin' for a time
A-draggin' on your line
But never fear, this fish will never swim

While you're playin' with my mind
I'll be payin' with your money, honey
As long as your account can stand the drain

I'll fan the flame and make it hotter
'Cause I think I can walk on water
As long as you can make it rain

Aww, I'll hang around awhile
Study your style
Come out a whole lot wiser man indeed

'Cause the last time anyone as grand
As you appeared and looked around
Found the grandest star up in the East

Hey, but I don't see no halo
Just a little girl with a lot of gold
Wantin' one more trinket for her golden scene

Aah, but you got a hot one hangin', kid
Don't let him say you never did your best
Be my guest, make it rain

Aah, make it rain
Babe, make it rain
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain

Where The Blue And Lonely Go lyrics - Dean Martin

Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear
It's the only place I know where the blue and lonely go

The street light served to light my way as I make my way downtown
To one of many nightspots I know where they're all found
Yes I'm back again to the lonely life a life that many know
Soon I'll be there with a glass of wine where the blue and lonely go

Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear...

There was a time when I had love and I tried so to be free
From the life that I was used to it was just too hard for me
Now as I try to keep my heart from letting mem'ries show
I pretend that I'm so happy here where the blue and lonely go

Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear...

(Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear
It's the only place I know where the blue and lonely go
Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear
It's the only place I know where the blue and lonely go)

If You Ever Get Around To Loving Me lyrics - Dean Martin

Well you fall in love with every boy you talk to
But they always turn around and set you free
Have you ever stopped to think of what could happen
If you ever get around to loving me

Well you say they always shut you out completely
To their hearts you never seemed to hold the key
But you'd be surprised how many doors will open
If you ever get around to loving me
Loving me loving me if you ever get around to loving me

Well they made you think that happiness is coldless
And your world is dark and full of misery
I'll do anything at all to make the sunhine
If you ever get around to loving me
Loving me oh loving me if you ever get around to loving me

Do You Believe This Town lyrics - Dean Martin

The woman next door has gone to the PTA
And stopped to see her best friend's husband on the way
The folks down the street have a different thing
So everyone is putting them down
Do you believe this town?

Deacon Jones preaches brotherly love every Sunday
And forecloses loans on widow's homes every Monday
But the smart guys say it's the only way
To keep the economy sound
Do you believe this town?

Do you believe they voted this town dry?
Well you won't believe it when I tell you why
The mayor and his cousin and the chief of police
have the bootlegging all nailed down
Do you believe this town?

Do you believe they burned a house down yesterday
You won't believe the reason that they gave
If the folks who lived there had a known their place
They could still be hanging around
Do you believe this town?

Do you believe this town?

One Cup Of Happiness (And One Peace Of Mind) lyrics - Dean Martin

Say, waiter, would you kindly stop, take my order please
Tonight I'm full of emptiness and old-time memories
So I need somethin' special that'll chase the blues away
And help me to forget about the dreams of yesterday

Just bring me one, one cup of happiness and one peace of mind
I'll take the biggest slice of life that you can find
I think that's all I'm gonna need to leave the blues behind
One cup of happiness and one peace of mind

Say, Waiter, I just thought of somethin' that I've never tried
I'd like to have a little bit of heaven on my side

You know it may sound funny, but when I was passin' by
The sign up in your window is the thing that caught my eye
I don't recall exactly, but I do believe it said
We guarantee to satisfy, so you go right ahead

And bring me one cup of happiness and one peace of mind
I'll take the biggest slice of life that you can find
I think that's all I'm gonna need to leave the blues behind
One cup of happiness and one peace of mind

I hope that's all I'm gonna need to leave the blues behind
One cup of happiness and one, one peace of mind

The Sun Is Shinin' (On Everybody But Me) lyrics - Dean Martin

The sun is shinin' but it's rainin' all over my face
Tricklin' teardrops and I feel out of place
'Cause everybody's happy-go-lucky, it's easy to see
The sun is shinin' on everybody but me

It's been rainin' like this ever since you been gone
And every day I'm bluer than the day before
And if the rain don't stop I can't say
What's gonna become of me because
Every day I miss you a little bit more

The sun is shinin' but it's rainin' all over my face
Tricklin' teardrops and I feel out of place
'Cause everybody's happy-go-lucky, it's easy to see
The sun is shinin' on everybody but me

Somebody asked me were you worthy of a date
I made some excuse and politely slipped away
Because they know as much as I do
When it comes to knowing you
That this time I'm afraid you gotta say

The sun is shinin' but it's rainin' all over the place
Tricklin' teardrops and I feel out of place
'Cause everybody's happy-go-lucky, it's easy to see
The sun is shinin' on everybody but me

The sun is shinin' on everybody but me

The Sneaky Little Side Of Me lyrics - Dean Martin

There's a sneaky little side of me the kind I want to set you free
So I can go see what's waitin' just over the hill
Every now and then I hear something whisper in my ear
Telling me somebody else could give me a thrill

Oh the sneaky little side of me the kind I want to go and see
And I could be happier walking with somebody new
But every time I start to go something in my heart says no
And tells me how lucky I am belongin' to you

And this sneaky little side of me is learning fast
Bout the way I'm livin' and the love I'm givin'
And the love that couldn't last

When you meet me at the door each night
And put your arms around me tight
I know that there just couldn't be anyone sweeter than you
Suddenly to my surprise I begun to realize
That the sneaky little side of me is in love with you too

Oh suddenly to my surprise I begun to realize
That the sneaky little side of me is in love with you too

(Sneaky little side of me the sneaky little side of me
Sneaky little side of me the sneaky little side of me)

Crying Time lyrics - Dean Martin

Oh it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I lived to be a hundred years old

Oh it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Now you say you've found someone you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door

Oh it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
[fade out]

Little Green Apples lyrics - Dean Martin

And I wake up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes and she says hi
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are gonna to school goodbye
She reaches out and takes my hand
And squeezes it and says how you feeling hon
And I look across at smiling lips
That warm my heart and see my morning sun

And if that's not lovin' me then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
There's no such thing as Doctor Suess
Disneyland or Mother Goose is no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when myself is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind

Sometimes I call her up at home knowing she's busy
And ask if she could get away and meet me and grab a bite to eat
Then she drops what she's doin' and hurries down to meet me and I'm always late
But she sits waitin' patiently
And smiles when she first sees me cause she's made that way

And if that ain't lovin' me then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
It don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
There's no such think as make believe
Puppy dogs and autumn leaves and BB guns
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
When myself is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
To ease my mind to ease my mind

"Gentle On My Mind" (1968)

Not Enough Indians lyrics - Dean Martin

Wagon train of lovin' moving slow
And I can see the peace pipe burning low
You criticize each little thing I do
But listen baby, I've got news for you

There's too many chiefs and not enough Indians around this house
Baby I'm tired of this old game we play called cat and mouse
If you don't give just a little bit more
We're both gonna lose this race
'Cause there's too many chiefs and not enough Indians around this place

Trouble on our happy hunting ground
'Cause you keep stepping too far out of bounds
It's hard to run this reservation right
When you stay on the warpath day and night

Well there's too many chiefs and not enough Indians around this house
Baby I'm tired of this old game we play called cat and mouse
If you don't give just a little bit more
We're both gonna lose this race
'Cause there's too many cheifs and not enough Indians around this place

Look at all the things I have to do
To keep this teepee running just for you
Well time's are tough and wampum's hard to save
Just remember who's the squaw and who's the brave

Well there's too many cheifs and not enough Indians around this house
Baby I'm tired of playing this old game called cat and mouse
If you don't give just a little bit more
We're both gonna lose this race
'Cause there's too many cheifs and not enough Indians around this place

That Old Time Feelin' lyrics - Dean Martin

(That old time feeling's still inside my heart)
Well I'm sorry but it took me by susrprice
To be looking in those old familiar eyes
If I'm acting funny please don't turn away
Seeing you has brought me back to yesterday
Yes you're looking at the fool who used to be
In another world where love was new to me
But I learned my lesson when I let you go
And there's one thing that I've wanted you to know
If that old time feeling ever starts again
And you think about the way it might have been
Don't let yesterday's mistakes keep us apart
Cause that old time feeling's still inside my heart
Yes that old time feeling ever starts again...
(Inside my heart)

Honey lyrics - Dean Martin

(originally by Bobby Goldsboro)

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend that hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it was just a twig.

And the first snow came and she ran out
To brush the snow away it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped
And almost hurt herself I laughed till I cried.

She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart, I loved her so
I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago.

It would sure embarrass her
When I came in from working late 'cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there
And crying over some sad and silly late, late show.

And honey, I miss you I'm being good
I'd love to be with you if only I could.

She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck.

I came home unexpectedly
Caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day
It was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing, she went away.

And honey, I miss you and I'm being good
I'd love to be with you if only I could.

Yes, one day while I wasn't at home
When she was there and all alone the angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey
And I wake up nights and call her name.

Now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played and love grew up
A small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed that honey loved.

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
Laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it was just a twig...

Welcome To My Heart lyrics - Dean Martin

Welcome to my heart where have you been
Welcome to my world please walk walk right in
Welcome to my days they'll all be suuny now
Every doubt and fear will disappear somehow
Welcome to my arms they're open wide
Step in to my heart it's warm inside
Everything I ever wanted just came true
Welcome to my heart I need you
Everything I ever wanted just came true
Welcome to my heart I need you

By The Time I Get To Phoenix lyrics - Dean Martin

By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
'Cause I've left that gal so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall, that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly, call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

Gentle On My Mind lyrics - Dean Martin

(originally by John Hartford)

It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried up on some line
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now that binds me
Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
when I walk along some railroad track by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Well I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgling crackling cauldron in some train yard
My beard a roughening coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low across my face

Cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find that you're waving
from the back roads by the river of my memory
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind

That's When I See The Blues (In Your Pretty Brown Eyes) lyrics - Dean Martin

(That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes.)

You say it's over now but it's easy to see
You still belong to him you're not happy with me
You can hide all your feelings until he passes by
That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes.

Your pretty brown eyes keep telling me lies
But they can't hide the hurt with a smile and disguise


You can hide all your feelings until he passes by
That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes.

Your pretty brown eyes keep telling me lies
But they can't hide the hurt with a smile and disguise
You can hide all your feelings until he passes by
That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes.

That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes...

Rainbows Are Back In Style lyrics - Dean Martin

Rainbows are gettin' back in style
There's sunshine everywhere and I'm learning how to smile
The only time it rains is to cool things for a while
But since I met you I can't forget you the rainbows are back in style.

There's not a thing in the world that I'd rather do
Than just sit and stare at your face
You're so doggone pretty that you made the world
A whole lot happier place.

Life's worth living and the love that you're giving
Has made me feel this way
And rainbows have chased
The clouds away.

Rainbows are gettin' back in style
There's sunshine everywhere and I'm learning how to smile
The only time it rains is to cool things for a while
But since I met you I can't forget you the rainbows are back in style.

Your name is like music and I can't help singing it over and over again
This happy feeling has got me thinking it's heaven I'm living in
The love we share puts magic in the air and every dream comes true
And rainbows have turned my skies to blue.

Rainbows are gettin' back in style
There's sunshine everywhere and I'm learning how to smile
The only time it rains is to cool things for a while
But since I met you I can't forget you the rainbows are back in style.

But since I met you I can't forget you the rainbows are back in style...

Drowning In My Tears lyrics - Dean Martin

I've cried so much over you and I'm drowning in my tears
Oh it's no wonder I'm going under drowning in my tears
You hurt me so in many ways and I spent so many years
Walking and thinking so now I'm a sinking drowning in my tears
I keep on crying for help but you turned your back on me
I'm over my head in misery
I guess I'll go on this way till all of me disappears
Live in a bubble and in my trouble drowning in my tears
(I keep on crying for help but you turned your back on me)
I'm over my head in misery
I guess I'll go on this way till all of me disappears
Live in a bubble and in my trouble drowning in my tears

April Again lyrics - Dean Martin

(Oh, If I could live April again, If only I could live April again,)
How happy I would be again.
Oh, If I could live April again,
If only I could live April again,
How happy I would be again.
The early morning rain
Falling on my window makes me think of you again.
I pretend that you're here with me
And tho' it seems like April again.
(It's not the same.)
It's not the same.
Oh, if I could live April again,
If only I could live April again,
How happy I would be again.
Flowers that we saved
Pressed between the pages of the book have turned to gray.
But still I close my eyes and hold them
And know that it's not April again.
(It seems that way.)
It seems that way.
Oh, if I could live April again,
If only I could live April again,
How happy I would be again.
Oh, if I could live April again,
If only I could live April again.

"I Can't Give You Anything But Love" (1968)



Innamorata lyrics - Dean Martin

If our lips should meet in Innamorata
Kiss me, kiss me sweet in Innamorata
Hold me close and say you're mine
With a love that's warm as wine

I'm at heaven's door in Innamorata
Want you more and more in Innamorata
You're a symphony, the very beautiful sonata my Innamorata
Say that you're my sweetheart, my love

You're a symphony, the very beautiful sonata my Innamorata
Say that you're my sweetheart, my one and only sweetheart
Say you're my sweetheart, my love

All In A Night's Work lyrics - Dean Martin

When Paul Revere went riding while the stars were burning bright
It was all it was all it was all in a night's work
When Edison stayed up so late he finally saw the light
It was all it was all it was all in a night's work

And when a girl and fellow get underneath that moon
It's not a long shot you can bet on something happening soon
So when they ask me just how come I came up winning you
Though it took hours of flowers and the wining
and dining and telephone calls to get the pot to perk
I smile and say it was all in a night's work

It was all it was all it was all in a night's work

It was all it was all it was all in a night's work

And when a girl and fellow get underneath that moon
It's not a long shot you can bet on something happening soon
So when they ask me just how come I came up winning you
Though it took hours of flowers and the wining
and dining and telephone calls to get the pot to perk
I smile and say it was
All in a night's work
All in a night's work

You Look So Familiar lyrics - Dean Martin

I never thought I'd ever be caught
Using an old cliche
I'm on a spot believe it or not
This is all I can think of to say

You look so familiar
Have we ever met before
Everything about you seems to ring a bell
You look so familiar
Have we been this close before
If my heart could talk you'd hear it sing as well
There must be an explanation
What I feel is not imagination
You look so familiar
Now it all comes back it seems
I remember you were in my dreams
I remember you were in my dreams

It Looks Like Love lyrics - Dean Martin

It looks like love
It feels like love
And I confess it's got me rocking on my heels like love
How else can I account for that unexpected glow
That turns the night to day each time we say hello

It looks like love
Ah it could be love
But if it's not it's so darn wonderful it should be love
There's a lot more I can tell you but you take my breath away
Yes it looks like love is here to stay

It looks like love
It could be love
But if it's not it's so darn wonderful it should be love
There's a lot more I can tell you but you take my breath away
Yes it looks like love
Is here to stay

When You Pretend lyrics - Dean Martin


Although you're stuck with Dean's there's money in your jeans
When you pretend
The wolf that's at your door is not there anymore
When you pretend

Ah there's nothing you can't be
Just wish and see
Why the world's your cup of tea
Some dish says me

The happiness you find is all a state of mind
That's true my friend
And life is filled with happy endings
When you pretend

There's nothing you can't be
Just wish and see
The world's your cup of tea
Some dish says me

Ah the happiness you find is all a state of mind
That's true my friend
And life is filled with happy endings
When you pretend

A Day In The Country lyrics - Dean Martin

Oh there's nothing as gay as a day in the country
Under the wonderful skies
For a city bred feller a field of yeller
Is quite a delightful surprise

Oh you don't have to pay for a day in the country
It's old mother nature who buys
And while we keep going the breezes are blowing
The cigarette smoke from our eyes

You'll hear beautiful melodies played by an old water mill
And a little red barn is spinning a yarn to the daffodils up on the hill
Oh there's nothing as gay as a day in the country
Far from the maddening throng
A hobo hobnobbing with bluebird and robin
We warble a merry old song
And go rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolling along

(Oh there's nothing as gay as a day in the country)
(Under the wonderful skies)
(For a city bred feller a field of yeller)
(Is quite a delightful surprise)

(Oh you don't have to pay for a day in the country)
(It's old mother nature who buys)
(And while we keep going the breezes keep blowing)
(The cigarette smoke from our eyes)

How I envy the fellas that live by a shady old nook
And cute little guy who's casting a fly at a trout leaping out of a brook
Oh there's nothing as gay as a day in the country
Far from the maddening throng
Just grab a valise full and go where it's peaceful
And try vocalizing a song
(Both) While you're rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolly oh rolling along
