Moving Day
Henry von Tilzer 1906
Landlord says this morning to me
"Give me your key, this place ain't free
I can't get no rent out of you
so pack up your things and skidoo."
"I'm just waiting for my Bill to come home
He's my honey from the honeycomb
He'll have money cuz he told me so this morning"
ch:
Because it's moving day, moving day
Rip the carpet up off the floor
, pick up your overcoat and get out the door
Because it's moving day
, pack up your bags and get away
If you can't pay the rent you can live out in a tent
It's moo-oo-ooving, whoa it's moving day
Bill comes in all covered with snow
I say, "Hello, give me some dough.
Here's the landlord looking for rent
And Bill says, "I ain't got a cent."
We'll be leaving just as quick as we can,
You can try and catch us Mister Landlord Man
We'll be heading back to Dixieland this morning.

A-11
Hank Cochran
(chorus)
I don't know you from Adam
But if you're gonna play the jukebox
Please don't play A-11
Please don't play A-11
I just came in here from force of habit
I don't intend to spend too much time in here
But I saw you heading for the jukebox
And if you play A-11 there'll be tears.
repeat chorus
This used to be our favorite spot
And when she was here it was heaven
It was here she told me that she loved me
And she always played A-11

Love Alone
from Blind Blake and His Royal Victoria Hotel Calypsos
It's love, it’s love alone
That caused King Edward to leave his throne
It's love, it's love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne.
I know King Edward was noble and great
But it's love that caused him to abdicate.
It's love, it's love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne.
“I know my mother is bound to grieve
She cannot help it but I'm bound to leave."
It’s love, etc.
And he got the money and he got the talk
And the fancy walk and the suits New York.
“You can take the throne, you can take the crown,
But leave me Miss Simpson to renown.”
“f a plane and a ship don't carry me free
I'll walk with Miss Simpson across the sea.”
On the third of December you heard the talk
When he gave the throne to the Duke of York.
Now he surely will take a stand
He said,"I'm giving up with my government!"
He's the victim of circumstance
Now they live in the south of France.
See Mrs. Simpson across the street
You can guarantee she is a busy bee.
Let the organ roll, let the church bell ring
He said, "Good luck to us and the bachelor King.”
It's love, it’s love alone
That caused King Edward to leave his throne
It's love, it's love alone
Caused King Edward to leave his throne.

SINGING BAMBOO
Maddy K. Lam
Listen to the sweet singing bamboo
It's singing a little love song to you
Telling of a small island rendezvous
A heaven that was made just for two
Where tradewinds softly kisses the coco palms
Flower scented nights calling you to my arms
So listen to the sweet singing bamboo
It's singing a little love song to you

Two Sleepy People
Frank Loesser, Hoagy Carmichael
Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and talking, see how late it gets
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say good night.
Here we are in a cozy chair
Munchin’ on a wishbone from the Frigidaire
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say good night.
Do you remember the way we used to linger in the hall?
Mm-hmm, your daddy didn't like it, at all
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall?
To find this little nest and get a piece of rest.
Well, here we are, just about the same
Drowsy little fella, Dizzy little dame
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say good night.
