Let’s Have Another Cup Of Coffee

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on January 5th 1942 with Marion Hutton, Ernie Caceres and the Modernaires.
Written by Irving Berlin in 1932. (From the Broadway show „Let’s Face The Music“ )
 

Just around the corner
There’s a rainbow in the sky
So let’s have another cup of coffee
And let’s have another piece of pie
Trouble’s just a bubble
And the clouds will soon roll by
So let’s have another cup of coffee
Let’s have another piece of pie

Let a smile be your umbrella
For it’s just an April shower
Go and see a fortune teller
And he’ll predict a silver lining

Soon we’ll turn the corner
With our banners flying high
So let’s have another cup of coffee
And let’s have another piece of pie...!

What’s the cheerin‘ all about,
Why do all the people shout?
He’s the one we’re waitin‘ for
Our goodwill ambassador,
Our goodwill ambassador...:

EC:
(In Spanish)
Entre las estrellas, come, come over*, ven Raquel
Pues vamos a beber un cafecito y comemos** un pedazo de pastel (Que lindo!)
Vamos de paseo, cuando venga Don Miguel
Pues vamos a beber un cafecito
Oh, let’s have another piece of pie...!

<Translation>
Between the stars, come, come over, come Raquel

So, let’s have a little cup of coffee and let's eat a piece of pie (How cute!)
Let’s go for a walk when Don Miguel comes
So, let’s have a little cup of coffee
Oh, let’s have another piece of pie...!
 

Hip-hip-hooray, hooray, hooray
Hip-hip-hooray, hooray, hooray
Soon we’ll turn the corner
With our banners flying high
So let’s have another cup of coffee
And let’s have another piece of pie...!

(*: Yes, he speaks Spanish and English in one line, in case you wondered!
** "That word 'comemos'... well, in 'perfect' Spanish it must be 'comernos' but I think the Spanish pronunciation of Ernie Caceres wasn't very accurate..." - Spanish transcription, translation and notes by Alberto Cevallos from Ecuador - whose invitation to a little cup of coffee is yet to be followed by yours truly... ;-)
Alberto, I sincerely hope we will indeed have coffee together one day!)

 

 


Let’s All Sing Together

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on January 29th 1940 with Marion Hutton.
Written by Bill Keesman, Nick DiRocca and Joe Audino.
 

Let’s all sing together
Don’t mind the weather
Rain or shine, the weather’s fine
Just sing „Sweet Adeline“

Let’s all sing together,
No stormy weather
Just a jingle with a tingle
One, two, three, let’s go

Oh, let’s hear a bass note,
 „Boom-pa-pa, boom-pa-pa, boom-pa-pa“
Let’s join the chorus, „tra-la-la“,
One, two , three, let’s go...

Let‘s all sing together
Birds of a feather
Troubles go like bubbles
When you swing out „Auld Lang Syne“!




Long Ago And Far Away
As performed by the Glenn Miller AAF Orchestra;
Music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, written for the movie "Cover Girl" (1945).

Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long ago the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you.

(instrumental interlude)

Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you...

Long Time No See, Baby

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on November 22nd 1940 with Marion Hutton.
Written by Jack Lathrop.
 

Long time no see, baby,
Long time no see your face
Long time no cuddle up in your arms
Long time no kiss, baby
Long time no sweet embrace
Long time no fill me with all your charms

Seems like you’ve been away
Forever and a day
Sweetheart, I’ve missed you so
More than you will ever know

Long time no love, baby
Long time no hold me tight
Let’s make up for lost time
Long time tonight...! *

(*: interesting case of radio censorship here - the record lyric is too suggestive, I guess:

Long time no love, baby
Long time no hold me tight
Let's make up for lost time
Long time tonight...!

On the airchecks, Marion sings:

Long time no love, baby
Long time no dream with you
Let's make up for lost time
Long time we too...
 - notes by Dave Weiner)


 


Love With A Capital „You“

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on June 27th 1939 with Kay Starr.
Written by Ralph Rainger and Leo Robin.
 

You may spell love with capital „L“
But I spell love with a capital „You“
Through the day you’re away
And I’m mopin‘,  mopin‘  mope
And you do too, I hope, I hope, I hope

All life through, love with a capital „You“
Would just suit me to a capital „T“
I can spell just as well as the dictionaries do,
But I spell love with a capital „You“!
 


Lullaby Of The Rain

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on May 20th 1942 with Ray Eberle and the Modernaires.
Written by Barbs Furman and Lou Ricca.
 

I love the pitter-patter
I hear upon my window pane
My troubles cease to matter
When I hear the lullaby of the rain
I’ve talked with every flower
That blooms along the country lane
They‘re happy in a shower
`Cause they love the lullaby of the rain

Although the rain may be teeming
I‘m cozy and warm
And I catch up on my dreaming
All during the storm

Some like their weather sunny
Come cloudy days, and they complain
I know they think I’m funny
But I love the lullaby of the rain

On the roof or on the window pane,
How I love the lullaby of the rain...!
