All Over Nothing At All
Year 1922
Words by J. Keirn Brennan and
Paul Cunningham Music by James Rule M. Witmark and Sons New York |
First Verse Our dreaming, our scheming, was all in vain One lover's quarrel brought endless pain We had a wonderful start Who ever thought we would part? Second Verse How could we, why should we say it's the end Is this the one break nothing can mend? When there is so much at stake Why let our hearts ache and ache? Chorus All over nothing at all Was our affections so small? Must I go on living like this Without the bliss Of a sweet kiss? I'm so sorry I made you cry We could patch it up if we'd try Why must we both say Good Bye All over nothing at all! CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |
Sweetie O' Mine
Year 1920
Words by Haven Gillespie Music by Egbert Van Alstyne Van Alstyne and Curtis, Music Publishers 177 North State Street Chicago |
First Verse In a sweetly perfumed spot, where only desert moonbeams creep, Pahjamah's heart is waking, is waking from its sleep, with the beat of tom-tom-tom-tom-tom across the burning sand so softly played, She hears her lover's tinkling, his tinkling serenade. Second Verse In her dreams Pahjamah hurries to her love at break of day, Together they are riding, they're riding far away, In the cool of evening while the camels rest within a welcome jungle glade, She listens to his tinkling, his tinkling serenade. Chorus Come, come to my balmy bungalow, Come with me, Pahjamah, to the jungle oh Love's oasis, a quiet resting place is, my camels wait within the palace gate, Out there, where desert breezes sigh for you, A thousand slaves will gladly live and die for you, Come, Pahjamah! my pretty, pink Pahjamah! Arise, arise, the sun is in the skies! CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |

Out Of The East
Year 1918
Words by Jean Havez Music by Joe Rosey Jerome H. Remick and Co. Detroit and New York |
First Verse Pale moon in the Eastern sky Look down where Arabs lie Smile down on the cavalcade Wake not little dark eyed maid Dreaming of a Prince so bold High up on a throne of gold Singing in a vision rare Pleading to his dream love fair Second Verse Far far from the desert sands Yonder in the vineyard lands There dear is the place we'll go There dear where the breezes blow Palm trees wave a welcome dear Swaying in the sunlight clear Blue skies with an opal glow Calling bid us gently go Chorus Oriental maiden Be my jewel laden Princess all array'd in glory Dream of love's sweet longing Tender fancies thronging Told in royal song and story See the Sphinx beguiling Pyramids are smiling To my sweet heart while in slumber All the sentimental All the Oriental Dreams are born Out of the East.

California And You
Year 1914
Words by Edgar Leslie Music by Harry Puck Kalmar and Puck Music Co. Inc. New York City |
First Verse Oh! you old Pacific coast, Oh! you land I love the most, Soon I'll be returning to you, To my sweetheart loving and true; I just mailed a little note Written to the one I miss, Just a simple little note I began by saying this. Second Verse Oh! you orange scented air, Oh! you train that brings me there, Ev'ry other country I see, Only makes you dearer to me; Thro' my Pullman window pane As my station's drawing near, I can hear myself again Singing in my honey's car. Chorus Don't you remember California in September? As we stood in the wood 'neath the beautiful sky, I made you cry When I whispered good-bye, but dearie Don't you remember That I promised I'd be true? So expect a choo choo That's bringing me back to California and you. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THIS SONG |
