Lyrically Speaking Day 16 - 12/2/08
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2008 5:20 am
Well, we're coming down the home stretch. Just 5 more LS games to go!
Today, we go way, way back. I'm pretty sure Grak and Kronk, also known as "The Cavemen," covered these songs below, but I know them best because they were performed at one time or another by my all-time favorite singer, the amazing Miss Ella Fitzgerald. They also include my all-time favorite song, which you'll find at #9. One point for each title (since I've already told you the performer). You have until tomorrow at noon Eastern to post your answers. Enjoy!
1. Each morning I get up with the sun
Start a-hopping, never stopping
To find at night no work has been done
2. I viewed the morning
With much alarm
The British Museum
Had lost its charm
3. I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years
Little wow, tell me now...
4. Another bride, another June
Another sunny afternoon
Another season, another reason
For...
5. Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
6. I got daisies
In green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
7. (Song Title)
Just you and I beneath the stars
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours
8. I never planned in my imagination
A situation
So heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center
Just you and me
9. Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
10. I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace
Til....
11. Could you coo?
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush
12.The way you hold your knife
The way we danced 'til three
The way you changed my life
No....
13. Don't mind telling you in my humble fash
That you thrill me through with a tender pash
When you said you care, imagine my emoshe
I swore then and there permanent devoshe
14. I must win some handsome guy
Can't go on like this
I could blossom out I know
With somebody just like you, so...
15. I was a fool to fall, and get that way
Hi ho, alas and also lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss,
I guess he's (Most of Song Title)
16. Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
17. I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes, on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And took it to the market
18. I tell you, I'm not asking any miracle
It can be done, it can be done
I know a clergyman who would grow lyrical
And make us one, and make us one
19. Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
20. You say "ee-ther" and I say "eye-ther"
You say "nee-ther" and I say "neye-ther"
Ee-ther, eye-ther, nee-ther, neye-ther...
