VE DAY SINGALONG.   

It’s a Long Way to Tipperary / Pack up your troubles

It’s a long way to Tipperary,                                   

It’s a long way to go

It’s a long way to Tipperary                                    

To the sweetest girl I know                                    

Goodbye Piccadilly,                                               

Farewell Leicester Square.                                    

It’s a long, long way to Tipperary

But my heart’s right there.   (repeat)                      

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,

And smile, smile, smile.

While you’ve a Lucifer to light your fag,

Smile boys, that’s the style.

What’s the use of worrying,

It never was worthwhile, so

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,

And smile, smile, smile.

There’ll be Bluebirds Over the White Cliffs of Dover

There’ll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover,

Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

There’ll be love and laughter, and peace ever after,

Tomorrow when the world is free.

The shepherd will tend his sheep, the valley will bloom again.

And Jimmy will go to sleep,in his own little room again.

There’ll be blue birds over,the white cliffs of Dover,

Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way

He had a boogie style that no one else could play

He was the top man at his craft

But then his number came up, and he was gone with the draft

He’s in the army now, a-blowin’ reveille

He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam

It really brought him down because he couldn’t jam

The captain seemed to understand

Because the next day the cap’ went out and drafted a band

And now the company jumps when he plays reveille

He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

A-toot, a-toot, a-toot-diddleyada-toot

He blows it eight-to-the-bar, in boogie rhythm

He can’t blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin’ with him

He makes the company jump when he plays reveille

He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

He puts the boys asleep with boogie every night

And wakes ’em up the same way in the early bright

They clap their hands and stamp their feet

Because they know how he plays when someone gives him a beat

He really breaks it up when he plays reveille

He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

A-toot, a-toot, a-toot-diddleyada-toot

He blows it eight-to-the-bar, in boogie rhythm

He can’t blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin’ with him

He makes the company jump when he plays reveille

He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high

There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I’ll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh, why can’t I?

We’ll Meet Again

We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when

But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day.

Keep smiling through just like you always do

‘Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

So will you please say ‘hello’ to the folks that I know,

Tell them I won’t be long.

They’ll be happy to know that as you saw me go

I was singing this song.

We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when

But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day.

You’ll Never Walk alone 

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don’t be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm

There’s a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind

Walk on through the rain

Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you’ll never walk alone

You’ll never walk alone
