Song of the South (Johnston / Coslow)

Song of the South your music weaves a magic spell
song of the South, I see the scenes I know so well
cottonwoods in blossom over my cabin door
pale moonlight on a field of white, you bring them back once more

I seem to hear those gentle voices calling low
out of the long long ago
this heart of mine is in the heart of Dixie, that's where I belong
singing a song, a song of the South

Uncle Remus said (Lange / Heath / Daniel)

That's what Uncle Remus said
that's what Uncle Remus said
listen now to what I say:
that's how the critters got that way

The leopard's pappy got the gout
from eatin' too much speckled trout
his mammy dreamed of polka dots
that's how the leopard got his spots
that's what Uncle Remus said
that's what Uncle Remus said
speckled trout and polka dots
that's how the leopard got his spots
more, more, tell us more

The camel crossed the dessert sands
with all them mighty caravans
his bed was full of sandy lumps
that's how the camel got those humps
that's what Uncle Remus said
that's what Uncle Remus said
bed was full of sandy lumps
that's how the camel got those humps
more, more, tell us more

The pig he saw his monkey friend
a-swinging by his other end
he tried the same thing on a rail
that's how the pig got a curly tail
that's what Uncle Remus said
that's what Uncle Remus said
tried the same thing on a rail
that's how the pig got a curly tail
more, more, tell us more
more, more, more

Who wants to live like that ? (Carling / Darby)

Ol' Br'er Possum got a trick
how come he get so fat ?
when trouble come along
he play like dead
now who wants to live like that ?

Well I do, I surely do
I can't see nothin' wrong
while other folks is worryin'
I'm sleepin' all day long

Well I do, I surely do
it's funny but it's true
that's what I abso-positive-I-lutely wants to do

Let the rain pour down (Carling / Darby)

(Trouble trouble trouble fly away)

Wake up early in the mornin'
when the ding-dong ring, look up
goin' down to the kitchen room
it's the same ol' thing
wanna get a bite of somethin'
for that hungry look, look up
stick your finger in the dumplin'
get your trouble with the cook

Let the rain pour down
let the cold wind blow
gonna stay right here
in the home I know
(trouble trouble trouble fly away)

Havin' trouble with the weevil
never did like that, look up
got the cotton full of evil
like a hypocrite's hat
when the weevil get the cotton
everybody feels low, look out
there'll be nothin' on the table
when the dinner horn blow

Let the rain pour down
let the cold wind blow
gonna stay right here
in the home I know
(trouble fly away, fly away)

When you're achin' with the mis'ry
and you're old and gray (headin', headin')
then you'd better be thankful
that He let you stay
let you stay to see the children
playin' 'round your door (headin', headin')
for the time is soon a'comin'
when you won't be here no more

Let the rain pour down
let the cold wind blow
gonna stay right here
in the home I know

How do you do ? (MacGimsey)

How do you do, fine, a friendly greetin'
how do you do, say it when you're meetin'
how do you do, with everyone repeatin'
pretty good, sure as you're born

What goes up is sure to come down
penny lost is a penny found
I'll "howdy" you, you'll "howdy" back
this for that an' tit for tat

How do you do ? fine, how are you ?
how you come on ? pretty good, sure as you're born
stop jumpin', Br'er Rabbit, you'll run out of breath
why don't you sit down an' calm yourself ?

Well the grasshopper jump, and so do the flea
I do what I like, and I suits me

How do you do ? fine, how are you ?
how you come on ? pretty good, sure as you're born

The weather's good, the fishin's fine
mow what do you do with all your time ?
oh, I zigs and I zags, I to's and I fro's
that's what you're askin' and that's what you knows

How do you do ? fine, how are you ?
how you come on ? pretty good, sure as you're born

Mind now, Br'er Rabbit, better mend your ways
you's headin' for trouble one of these days
warnin' that rabbit is wastin' your breath
don't worry about me, I can take care of myself

Sooner or later (Wolcott / Gilbert)

Sooner or later you're gonna be comin' around
I betcha, I betcha that I catch ya
you wait and see

Sooner or later you're gonna be hangin' around
I betcha, I betcha if I catch ya
you'll hear from me

You're gonna knock on my door
you done it before
matter of factly I don't know exactly when

But sooner or later you're gonna be hangin' around
and want my cookin' again

You're gonna knock on my door
you don't it before
matter of factly I 'spected you 'xactly then

Cause sooner or later I know you'd be hangin' around
and want my cookin' again
(but you ain't gonna get it)

Everybody has a laughing place (Wrubel / Gilbert)

Hee, hee, hee, hee, ha, ha, ha
boy, am I in luck
I think about my laughin' place
yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, ha-yuk, yuk

Everybody's got a laughin' place
a laughin' place, to go ho-ho
take a frown, turn it upside-down
and you'll find yours I know ho-ho

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
boy, am I in luck
I think about my laughin' place
ha-yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk

Everybody's got a laughin' place
a laughin' place, to go ho-ho
take a frown, turn it upside-down
and you'll find yours I know ho-ho

All I want (trad. / Darby)

More and more faith in Him
he made all the stars and the moon and the sun
more and more faith in Him
he numbered the grass and the birds, every one
more and more faith in Him, my Saviour

All I want, all I want
all I want, more and more faith in Him, my Saviour
all I want, all I want
all I want, is more and more faith in Him

Angel have mercy on this little child
more and more faith in Him
he's only been here
such a mighty little while
more and more faith in Him
