Bing Crosby Album

Happiness comes with success
And that I guess is true
But success is more or less
A point of view

I'm no millionaire
But I'm not the type to care
Cause I've got a pocketful of dreams
It's my universe
Even with an empty purse
Cause I've got a pocketful of dreams

I wouldn't take the wealth of Wall Street
For a road where nature trods
And I calculate that I'm worth my weight
In goldenrods

Lucky, lucky me
I can live in luxury
Cause I've got a pocketful of dreams

You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith, or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

(Andrews sisters:)
To illustrate
His last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do,
Just when everything looked so down?

(Bing:)
Man, they said we better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, do not mess with Mr. In-Between!
Do you hear me, hmm?

(Andrews sister:)
Oh, listen to me chillin' and-uh you will hear
About eliminatin' of the negative and a' accent on a' positive!

(Bing:)
And gather round me children if you will and...
And sit tight while I start reviewin' the attitude of doin' right.

(Andrews sisters:)
You gotta ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between

(Both:)
You got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Then
Otherwise, otherwise
Pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate (well illustrate!)
My last remark (You got the floor)
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say (What did they say)
Say, when everything looked so down?

Man, they said we better
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between!

Do I want to be with you
As the years come and go
Only forever
If you care to know
Would I grant all your wishes
And be proud of the task
Only forever
If someone should ask
How long would it take me
To be near if you beckon
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile
Only forever
That's putting it mild

How long would it take me
To be near if you beckon
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile
Only forever
That's putting it mild

Throw him out the window, he can't stay
How did he get in here anyway?
What do we want with him? Around the place
The pessimistic character with the crab apple face

When he hears a joke he always cries
When there's any fun, he darn near dies
What do you say we laugh at his sad case?
The pessimistic character with the crab apple face

He's never welcome
Anywhere he goes
Let him stay where he belongs
In a book of Edgar Alan pose, why don't we lose him?

Wrap him in a blanket carefully
Throw him out the window 1 2 3
It'll be great to wear a grinning chase
The pessimistic character with the crab apple face

Don't you ever let him get you all alone
He's the worst companion ever known
He doesn't know how to keep a merry face
The pessimistic character with the crab apple face

When there's any trouble how he boasts
He enjoys a graveyard and he loves ghosts
Smile he'll disappear and leave no trace
That old fuddy duddy with the crab apple face

He's got a hand shake
Just like a lemon peel
He's the sole of discontent
With the disposition of a heel, oh what a icky

He's no good at dancing, he can't sing
He despises rainbows and he hates spring
Why do we want him in the human race?
The pessimistic character with the crab apple face

Sweet Leilani
Heavenly flower
Nature fashioned roses kissed with dew
And then she placed them in a bower
It was the start of you.
Sweet Leilani
Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.

Sweet Leilani
Heavenly flower
Tropic skies are jealous as they shine
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes
Jealous hecause you're mine.
Sweet Leilani
Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.

You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.

A long time ago
A million years BC
The best things in life
Were absolutely free
But no one appreciated
A sky that was always blue
And no one congratulated
A moon that was always new
So it was planned that they would vanish now and them
And you must pay before you get them back again
That's what storms were made for
And you shouldn't be afraid for
Every time it rains it rains
Pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune falling
All over town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

Beautiful miracle
Pardon my lyrical rhapsody
Can't you see
Oh, you have captured me

Being so glamorous
Now can't you be amorous just with me
Make it soon
Cop a look at that moon

Love is just around the corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
When I'm around you

I'm a sentimental mourner
And I couldn't be forlorner
When you keep me on that corner
Just waiting for you

Venus de Milo was noted for her charms
But strictly between us
You are cuter than Venus
And what's more you've got arms

Let's go cuddle in a corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
And I'm around you

Love is just around the corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
When I'm around you

I'm ten times as faithful
As all your other men
They all are true to no one but you
But me I'm true to 10

Oh, let's go cuddle in a cozy corner
Any cozy little corner
Love is just around the corner
And I'm around you

[No lyrics]

Oh, Please
Lend your little ear to my pleas
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas
Tell me that you love me too
Please
Let me hold you tight in my arms
I could find delight in your charms
Every night my whole life through
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy Romeo
Oh, Please
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too

Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy Romeo
Oh, please
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too

The Bells of St. Mary's
Ah, hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea

And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, ring out
For you and me

The Bells of St. Mary's
Ah, hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea

And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, ring out
For you and me

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'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

(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'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
