Well the moon is in the ocean. And the starts are in the sky. And all that I can see. Is my sweet maria's eyes. Sarah, sarah maria. Sarah maria, ya, ya, ya, ya.
I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way. Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday. I called on dear old Santa Claus. To see what I could see.
[Chorus]. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. Crying all the time.. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. Crying all the time.. Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit.
Fetch down the fiddle, rosin up the bow. Don't play me nothing on the radio. Don't make me remember the alamo. I'm feeling like a little bit of cotton eyed joe.
Mama knows and papa knows. That rock 'n roll is music now. Baby's been cutting his teeth on. Bo diddley's, I'm a man, man. Listen to the wolfman howl.
We are riding on a railroad, singing some else's song. Forever standing by the cross road.. Take a side and step along.. We are sailing away on a river to the sea..
I was raised up family. Man I'm glad I'm on my own. I was raised up family. Man I'm glad I'm on my own. I mean, God bless the child. That can learn to live alone, yeah.
What good is that happy lie. All you wanted from the start was to cry. . It looks like another fall. Your good friends they don't seem to help at all.
There are ladies in my life,. Lovely ladies in these lazy days.. And though I never took a wife,. May I say that I have loved me one or two.. Of the people in my past, fading faces.
Say, it's only a paper moon. Sailing over a cardboard sea. But it wouldn't be make-believe. If you believed in me. . Yes, it's only a canvas sky. Hanging over a muslin tree.
Long ago, but not so very long ago. The world was different, oh yes it was. You settled down and you built a town and made it live. And you watched it grow.
Long ago, but not so very long ago. The world was different, oh yes, it was. You settled down and you built a town and made it live. And you watched it grow, it was your town.
Whenever I see your smiling face. I have to smile myself. Because I love you. And when you give me that pretty little pout. It turns me inside out. There's something about you, baby.
You are my only one, you are my only one.. Well I'm telling you now, you're my only one.. . I've got two long legs like to carry me,. Two sharp eyes to look for the fight..
Down the end of this barroom,. Out of sight of the light in the window. His mind in his whiskey. And his body in a folding chair. Far beyond repair. I enter his vision.
More than a distant land. Over a shining sea. More than the steaming green. More than the shining eyes. . Well they tell me it's only a dream in Rio. And nothing could be as sweet as it seems on this very first day down.
One morning, one morning, one morning in May,. I spied a young couple, they were making their way.. One was a maiden so bright and so fair and the other was a soldier and a brave volunteer..
Workin' on a thing. Workin' on a thing. Funny little thing I know. Sure got to like it. Only thing I got to show you. Running around the room. In my fruit o' the loom.
