Fun and fancy free (Bennie Benjamin & George Weiss)

Fun, fun, fun and fancy free

Full of fun and fancy free
that’s the way I wanna be
I don’t let my troubles trouble me

Fancy free, full of, full of fun
got no time to worry none
too busy singin’ in the sun, sweet sun

If you should have a chronic ache
pills won’t make you strong
the only tonic you should take
is a teaspoonful of song

So if you’d really like to be
happy-go-lucky, just like me
drown your frowns, my friend and you will see (you’ll see)
that you’ll be full of fun and fancy free

Come along, lend an ear
see it for yourself
meet a guy who’s got a song
troubles are on the shelf

He’s so happy all the livelong day
livin’ life the simple way
knowin’ it’s the only way to be
just full of fun, full of fun and fancy free

Finale:
Now some folks don't believe in giants, castles up above
and others say that bears don't talk and never fall in love
if you really wanna find
happiness, peace of mind
believe in all your dreams and you will see
you'll be full of fun and fancy
free and full of fun and fancy-free

I’m a happy-go-lucky fellow (Leigh Harline & Ned Washington)

Everyone keeps askin’ me
my recipe for livin’
it’s simple as the ABC’s
and hardly seems worth givin’

I’ve tried it out in everyway
it always sees me through
it’s made me what I am today
that’s why I’m tellin’ you

I’m a happy-go-lucky fellow
full of fun and fancy free
you can make the whole world seem mellow
if you take it in your stride like me

Don’t cross a bridge or peek
’round the corner until you’re there
just learn to smile and in a while
you’ll find trouble’s a bubble of air

Get a happy-go-lucky feelin’
keep it and I guarantee
that you’ll find you’ll wind up livin’ in the sun (so right)
full of fun and fancy free

Full of fun and fancy free
that’s the way I wanna be
I don’t let my troubles trouble me

Now some folks like the heavy stuff
with titles five feet wide
not me, I’m always out for fun
I like the lighter side, yes sir

Don’t let my troubles trouble me

Don’t cross a bridge or peek
’round the corner until you’re there
just learn to smile and in a while
you’ll find trouble’s a bubble of air

Get a happy-go-lucky feelin’

Lazy countryside

I love to hang around the lazy countryside
where things are nice and breezy
with nature's gang around the lazy countryside
where life is twice as easy

Where the crickets you don't hear in the city
keep a-hummin' in your ear oh, so pretty
and it's just too much for words
listenin' to the chorus of the birds

I like to stay around the lazy countryside
and while away the hours
just kind of play around the lazy countryside
as free as the bees and flowers

There's more fun in takin' the sun in
and to roam the spaces wide
it's the place for me ,gee, but it's great to be
'round the lazy countryside

There's more fun in takin' the sun in
and to roam the spaces wide
it's the place for me, gee, but it's great to be
'round the lazy countryside

Too good to be true

This is too good to be true
I can't believe it's real
can it be you I really see
I never knew I'd find an angel
and out of the blue you came to me

You're all the heavenly things
that I've been dreaming of
don't spread your wings and fly away

But if you're only passing through
then take me to heave with you
or is this a dream, too good to be true

This is too good to be true
I can't believe it's real
can it be you I really see
I never knew I'd find an angel
out of the blue you came to me

You're all the heavenly things
that I've been dreaming of
don't spread your wings, don't fly away

Oh, but if you're only passing through
then take me to heave with you
or is this a dream, too good to be true

Say it with a slap

When a bird loves a bird he can twitter
when a puppy falls in love he can yap
every pigeon likes to coo
when he says: “I love you”
but a bear likes to say it with a slap

When a whip-poor-will’s in love he can whipper
all the horses neck and all the turtles snap
every deer and every dove has a way of making love
but a bear likes to say it with a slap

You can ask any bear
oh, nothing to compare
with a love tap strong or weak
so if you’re ready for romance
and you ever get the chance
grab your girl and give her your cheek

So when love comes along don’t be silly
never waste your time like a sap
let the other hug and kiss
but the facts are this
that a bear like to say it with a slap, slap, slap
(gimme a hard slap)

(Square Dance Caller - spoken to the sound of Turkey in the Straw)
grab your bears and swing ‘em wide
shake their fur and scratch their hide
give her a slap, give her a cuff
go ‘round that floor and strut your stuff

He slapped her once and he missed her jaw
and he wound up smackin’ his mother-in-law
now here comes Grandpa getting in line
and here comes baby bear behind

When a bird loves a bird he can twitter
when a puppy falls in love he can yap
every pigeon likes to coo
when he says: “I love you”
but a bear likes to say it with a slap

When a whip-poor-will’s in love he can whipper
all the horses neck and all the turtles snap
every deer and every dove has a way of making love
but a bear likes to say it with a slap

You can ask any bear
oh, there’s nothing to compare
with a love tap strong or weak

If you’ve ready for romance
and you ever get the chance
grab your girl and give her your cheek

So when love comes around don’t be silly
never ever waste your time like a sap
let the others hug and kiss
but the bare facts are this
that a bear likes to say it with a slap, slap, slap

My, what a happy day

My, what a happy day
what a sunny sky
kind of makes you sigh
in a happy way

What a very merry day
all the world is gay
when your cares are light
and your heart takes flight
and you’re swept away

The air is sweet with clover
the clouds are turning over
oh yes, they're turning over
just to show their silver lining

My, what a happy day
never knew such bliss
never read of this
in a book or play
what a lovely day
what a great big gorgeous, sumptuous, thumping, bumptious
hum-galumptious, simply scrumptious
my, what a happy day

M-m-my, what a happy day
never knew such bliss
never read of this in a book or play
what a lovely day
what a great big gorgeous, sumptuous, thumping, bumptious
hum-galumptious, simply scrumptious
my, what a happy day
oh, my, oh my, what a happy day

Eat 'n eat 'n eat
(Melodie stammt aus "Funiculi funicula" - Luigi Denza / Peppino Turco, 1880)

Turkey, lobster, sweet potater pie
clam cakes piled up til they reach the sky
*quacking*, whoa
I wanna eat 'n eat 'n eat 'n eat 'n eat until I die

Turkey, lobster, sweet potater pie
clam cakes piled up til they reach the sky
lots of starches, lots of greens
fancy chocolate-covered ... BEANS !!

My favorite dream

In my favorite dream
everyone is so delightful
no one’s mean or spiteful
in my favorite dream

Yes, and in my favorite dream
there my heart can go romancing
dancing to a heavenly theme

But there’s something else I look forward to
it’s a secret but here’s a clue
he’s my favorite, you know who
you’re the hero of my most favorite dream
