First
Verse
Twilight is falling, I'm so lonesome and
blue, Twilight is
calling back sweet mem'ries of you. And as the night breeze
sighs in thepalm trees Somehow it seems to say: My heart is
yearning for your returning, Way down on Tampa Bay.
Second
Verse
Moonlight is slowly stealing over the sea, Moonlight just
like the night you whispered to me; Then all my gladness
turned into sadness After I heard you say: Though we must
part dear, I leave me heart here, Way down on Tampa Bay.
Chorus
On Tampa Bay the moon beams play, When the harbor lights
are gleaming I am dreaming of the day You won my heart,
dear, then sailed away, And you left me so lonely Way
down on Tampa Bay.

First
Verse
I must confess that I like you But there is something a miss Tell
me did it ever strike you That a maid likes a man to steal a kiss
Now please don't think me bold And please oh please don't scold
Just simply
Second
Verse
Some girlies just love to motor, Some crave a musical show
Some girls love to Fox Trot nightly I know some who are
always on the go But here's what I like best I'm different
from the rest Just simply
Chorus
Hold me Fold me right in your arms It's your affection I crave
Tease me Squeeze me tight in your arms Until I promise to behave
Fill me Thrill me with tales of love And all its sweet mystic
charms Then enfold me Please don't scold me Just hold me tight
in your arms.

First
Verse
You ask the reason why I love but you, Little girl of mine; And
would you believe me if I told you true, Little girl divine!
There's a thousand reasons why I love you so, But I can't tell
why; But you've asked the question and you want to know, So I'll
try, try, try.
Second
Verse
All the stars shine brighter, little girl of mine, If you're only
nigh; And your eyes shine brighter than the stars that shine,
Can you tell me why? Tell me why I'm happy when your voice I
hear? Why your eyes are blue? Then I'll tell the reason why I
love you dear, Only you, you, you!
Chorus
It's the pretty things you say, dear, And the pretty things you do;
It's the pretty smiles you smile, dear, And your pretty eyes of
blue; it's the pretty look you give me When I ask you to be true,
It's the very pretty girl you are, That's why I am so fond of you.

First
Verse
On an island fair where the flowers rare With their fragrance
fills the balmy air Where fair maidens are I hear the old
guitar Calling me back to this land a far, Where the palm
trees sway and the lovers gay sing love songs all the while,
There my heart goes back to a rose I left upon this
flowered isle.
Second
Verse
Where the twilight fades then the soft night shades Make me
long for the land of dark eyed maids And there comes to me
across the sea, Visions that gill me with ecstasy, And in
restless dreams it always seems I hear this rose implore,
That I once more come to the shore Where love and song
lives ever more.
Chorus
Each gentle breeze brings me memories Of my sweet Hawaiian
Rose And each flower fair I find blooming there To me her
charms disclose But then I know that I will go At winters
close to seek repose In the arms of my Hawaiian Rose.

First
Verse
Carolina thats a State And a girlie too One who promised that
she'd wait For somebody I knew Since he's gone I hear she's
wed How his lonesome heart has bled This is all the poor boy
said "What is a fellow to do".
Second
Verse
Carolina broke his heart When she wouldn't wait Tho' he must
forget the girl He remembers the State Every year he loves
to go Down there where the roses grow Once he said "I love her
so "But I'm a little too late,".
Chorus
Gone are the days I used to spend with Carolina She had the
sunshine in her laughter Just like the State they named her
after Gone are the days the golden days I'm dreaming of And
still I seem to hear her say, "Will you be back, Will you
be back, back to the Carolina you love?"

First
Verse
"Chickee Choo," that was all she said to
me; "Chickee Choo,"
on an island in the sea; I was blue, just as blue as I could be;
But "Chickee Choo," seemed to cheer me instantly. Out of
a million or more, Who come to visit the shore; It really seemed
like fate, that she should wait for me; Out on that tropical isle,
I had to linger awhile, She won me with her smile; It had to be.
Second
Verse
"Chickee Choo," every time she whispered this; "Chickee
Choo," I would steal a little kiss; All the while, I just had to
wear a smile; For "Chickee Choo," seemed to fill my heart
with bliss. It wasn't just what she said, That seemed to go to my
head; She was a little bear, and here and there. was less; Although
she wiggled around, She never covered much ground, When she
said, "Chickee Choo," I answered "yes."
Chorus
In San Domingo 'neath starry skies, I couldn't understand her "
lingo," But I could read this in her eyes (Chickee Choo, I love
you) One day by "jingo"! I held her hand; And I could feel
my heart go "bingo" Down in San Domingo Land.
