Orchestra on June 27th 1939 with Marion Hutton.

Mommie, I wanna hat with cherries
I want the big fat berries
If
I must have a lid
Daddy said I
did, oh....
Mommie, don’t wanna chocolate
sodie
Don’t wanna shiny
apple
You know I’m just a
kid, just a kid...
Can’t you see, Mommie dear,
It would help my looks
Daddy
said in a hat
I’d be cute
as Baby Snooks*...
So, Mommie, don’t wanna chocolate
sodie
Don’t wanna shiny
apple
To cover up my head, I
said
I wanna hat with cherries,
Big red squashy berries,
Like
the time with the chocolate cake
Will
I get such a tummy ache?
Cause
I’m gonna eat those cherries!

personality, „a destructive little monster
that
always got into trouble“ -Andy Davison-)

Orchestra on May 25th 1939 with Marion Hutton.
Words

Production „Streets of Paris“)
We haven’t got a pot to cook in
No looking glass to look in
But our dreams are sweet
We
seldom eat
We can live on
love...
We haven‘t got a bed to sleep in
To count our little sheep in
But our hopes are great
And
we can wait while we live on love....
Though you may feel we ought to
deal
With such realitites:
No house, no lot, no car - so
what?
That’s
trivialities!
We haven‘t got a check to cash in
No pot to put our hash in
But
we‘ve got that thing
That
comes in spring:
We can live on
love!
We’re The
Couple In The Castle
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on November 24th 1941 with Ray Eberle.
Words
by Frank Loesser, music by Hoagy Carmichael.
We're at Nineteen Moonbeam Terrace,
Overlooking Starlight Square,
We're the couple in the castle
Way up high in the air
On
the corner there's a cloud bank,
and
we bank our millions there
We're
the couple in the castle in the air
One day, a daydream came stealing
Through the gloomy part of town
Well, that daydream brought us way up
here
And we'll never come down
Call us Lord and Lady Stardust,
Call us crazy, we don't care,
We're the couple in the castle
In the air...!

Orchestra on August 1st 1939 with Marion Hutton and Band.

Wham,

What’s the matter with me
Nobody loves me
I
just happen to be unlucky in love
It
seems that every time I make a date
I
know from the start
Someone’s
gonna break the date
And break
my heart...
What’s the matter with me
I’m awfully moody
Must
my love affairs be
Like Punch
and Judy
I always walk with
myself,
Talk with myself,
And my heart and I agree
I’m
not hard to take,
So for
heaven’s sake,
What’s
the matter with me...?
What’s
Your Story Morning Glory
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on August 8th 1940 with Tex Beneke.
Written
by Mary Lou Williams, Jack Lawrence and Paul Webster.
What’s your story morning glory
What makes you look so blue?
The way that you been actin‘,
I don’t know what to do
For I love you, sure as one and one
makes two,
What’s your
story morning glory
Got a
feeling there’s a lot you’re concealin‘
So
won‘t you tell me that you love me too...
What’s your story morning glory
You got me worried, too
The
postman came this morning
And
he left a note for you
Did you
read it? Uh...
Then you know
that I love you
What’s
your story morning glory
If I
guess it, darling, will you confess it?
Oh,
won’t you tell me that you love me too...!
When Johnny
Comes Marchin‘ Home
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on February 18th 1942 with Marion Hutton, Tex Beneke and
the Modernaires.
Written by
Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore in 1863; Lyrics and Adaptation: Bill
Finegan, Hal Dickenson and Bill Conway (The latter two from the

When Johnny comes marchin‘ home
again, hooray, hooray
We’ll
give him a hearty welcome then, hooray, hooray
All
the men will cheer and the boys will shout
The
girls dress up and they‘ll all turn out
And
we’ll all feel gay when Johnny comes marchin‘ home
Get ready for the jubilee, hooray,
hooray
He’ll get three
cheers from you and me, hooray, hooray
Uncle
Sam will prove he’s still the champ,
We‘ll
close up shop and break up camp
And
we’ll all feel gay when Johnny comes marchin‘ home...!
When That Man
Is Dead And Gone
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on February 19th 1941 with Tex Beneke and the Modernaires.
Written by Irving Berlin.
Satan, Satan, thought up a plan
Dressed as a man,
Walkin‘
the Earth, and since he began
The
world is hell for you and me
But
what a heaven it will be
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
We‘ll go dancin‘ down the
street
Kissin‘ ev’ryone
we meet
When that man is dead
and gone...
What a day to wake upon
What
a way to greet the dawn
Some
fine day the news will flash,
„Satan
with a small moustache*
Is
asleep beneath the lawn“
When
that man is dead and gone...
What a lucky day to wake upon
What a happy way to greet the dawn
Some fine day the news will flash,
„Satan with a small moustache
Is asleep beneath the lawn“
When that man is dead and gone
When that certain man is dead and
gone, gone, gone
When that man
is
Dead ---
And
---
Gone!!!
(*: Surely you've figured out who that
"certain man" is: None other than Adolf Hitler, of course!)
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on January 8th 1942 with Ray Eberle.
Words
by Nat Burton, music by Walter Kent.
When the roses bloom again
And
the fields feel the plow
We
will meet again, sweetheart, somehow
When
the birds take back the sky
And
the night smiles above
We’ll
be free again to live and love
Till then, oh! how I‘ll miss you
The laughter and tears we used to
share
Till then in dreams I‘ll
kiss you
And seal every dream
with a prayer
When the roses bloom again
When
the world starts anew
I’ll
be coming home, sweetheart, to you...!
When the
Swallows Come Back To Capistrano
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on June 13th 1940 with Ray Eberle.
Written
by Leon René.
When the swallows come back to
Capistrano
That’s the day
you promised to come back to me
When
you whispered, „Farewell“ in Capistrano
T‘
was the day the swallows flew out to the sea
All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The
happiness you’ll bring
Will
live in my memory
When the swallows come back to
Capistrano
That‘s the day
I pray that you’ll come back to me!
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on January 6th, 1940 with Ray Eberle.
Words
by Ned Washington, music by Leigh Harline. (From the movie
„Pinocchio“)
When you wish upon a star
Makes
no difference who you are
Anything
your heart desires
Will come to
you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When
you wish upon a star
As
dreamers do
Fate is kind
She
gives to those who love
The
sweet fulfillment
Of their
secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your
dreams come true!
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on August 18th 1939 with Ray Eberle.
Written
by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and T. Snyder.
Who’s sorry now? Who’s
sorry now?
Whose heart is
aching for breaking each vow?
Who’s
sad and blue?
Who’s
crying too, just like I cried over you?
Right to the end, just like a friend,
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way
Now
you must pay
I‘m glad
that you’re sorry now!
(Why
Couldn’t It Last) Last Night
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on September 11th 1939 with Ray Eberle.
Written
by Austen Croom, Johnson, Nick Kenny and Charles Kenny.
Last night, I touched your fingertips
And when I touched your lips
I
fell in love last night...
Last night, I felt your heart beat fast
Swiftly the moments passed
Why
couldn’t it last last night?
Tonight here I am all alone
My
lovely dream has flown
Why must
I be alone?
Last night, why did we say goodbye?
My heart keeps asking why,
Why
couldn’t it last last night...?
As recorded by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra on April 10th 1939 with Ray Eberle.
Written
by Buddy DeSylva. (From the movie „Love Affair“)
Wishing will make it so
Just
keep on wishing and cares will go
Dreamers
tell us dreams come true
It's
no mistake
And wishes are the
dreams we dream
When we're
awake
The curtain of night will part
If you are certain within your heart
So if you wish long enough, wish
strong enough
You will come to
know
Wishing will make it so!
