Verse 1
Ive got a handful of songs to sing you
Cant stop my voice when it longs to sing you
New songs and blue songs and songs to bring you
Happiness, no more, no less
Verse 2
Moreover, wherever we may roam to
Or any shore where we may be blown to
Well know that were gonna feel at home to
La Bella Musi ca
Bridge
Jazz and Cha-Cha-Cha,
Calypso and street vendor cries.
Strains of old refrains,
Sleepy time baby lullabies
Verse 3
Ive of a handful of songs to sing you
Ive got a heart full of love to bring you
True love for you love
And loves a thing you keep.
So heres a handful of songs, going cheap
OUTTRO:
Just a handful of songs
Just a handful of songs
Only a handful of songs
