On a Wonderful Day Like Today
By Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley 1964 ROTG


On a wonderful day like today
I defy any cloud to appear in the sky
Dare any rain drop to plop in my eye
On a wonderful day like today


On a wonderful morning like this
When the sun is as big as a yellow balloon
Even the sparrows are singing in tune
On a wonderful morning like this


On a morning like this I could kiss everybody
I'm so full of love and goodwill
Let me say furthermore
I'd adore everybody to come and dine
The pleasure's mine and I will pay the bill


May I take this occasion to say
That the whole human race should go down on its knees
Show that we're grateful for mornings like these
For the world's in a wonderful way
On a wonderful day like today


On a morning like this I could kiss everybody
I'm so full of love and goodwill
Let me say furthermore
I'd adore everybody to come and dine
The pleasure's mine and I will pay the bill


May I take this occasion to say
That the whole human race should go down on its knees
Show that we're grateful for mornings like these
For the world's in a wonderful way
On a wonderful day like today



April Showers
By Al Jolson 1921


When April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May
So when it's raining have no regrets
Because it isn't raining rain you know
It's raining violets

And when you see clouds up on a hill
You know they'll bring crowds of daffodils
So just keep looking for a bluebird
And listening for his song
Whenever April showers come along

When April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May
So when it's raining have no regrets
Because it isn't raining rain you know
It's raining violets


And when you see clouds up on the hill
You know there'll be crowds of daffodils
So just keep looking for a bluebird
And listening for his song
Whenever April showers come a-long...



Blue Skies
By Irving Berlin 1926


Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see


Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long


Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly


Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on


I never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going oh-so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly


Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on


Sunshine on My Shoulders
By John Denver 1971


Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high


If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you the day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way


Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high


If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while


Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
​Sunshine almost always


Button Up Your Overcoat
By Ray Henderson/Lew Brown 1928


Button up your overcoat
When the wind is free
Take good care of yourself
You belong to me


Eat an apple every day
Get to bed by three
Oh, take good care of yourself
You belong to me


Be careful crossing streets, ooh, ooh
Cut out sweets, ooh, ooh
Lay off meat, ooh, ooh

You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum

Wear your flannel underwear
When you climb a tree
Oh, take good care of yourself

You belong to me

Button up your overcoat
When the wind is free
Oh, take good care of yourself

You belong to me

Keep the spoon out of your cup
When you're drinking tea
Oh, take good care of yourself

You belong to me

Be careful crossing streets, ooh, ooh
Cut out sweets, ooh, ooh
Lay off meat, ooh, ooh

You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum

Button up your overcoat
When the wind is free
Oh, take good care of yourself

You belong to me
Boop-boop-a-doop


Rockin’ Robin
By Robin Sellers 1958


He rocks in the treetops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin' robin, Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin, 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
 
Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flappin' their wings singing go bird go
Rockin' robin, Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin, 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
 
A pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Taught him how to do the bop, it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
 
He rocks in the tree top all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin' robin, Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin, 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
 
Well, a pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Taught him how to do the bop, it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the Buzzard and the Oriole
 
He rocks in the tree top all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin' robin, Rockin' robin'
Blow rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Singing In the Rain
By Arthur Freed & Herb Brown 1952


I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
And I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark, up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I have a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain

Just singin', singin' in the rain

I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
And I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark, up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I have a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain



My Favorite Things
By Rodgers & Hammerstein 1965


Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad


I Can See Clearly Now
By Johnny Nash 1972


I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.

It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone.
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.

It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's going to be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Lean On Me
By Bill Withers 1972


Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long, till I'm gonna need 
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won't let show


You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on


Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long, till I'm gonna need 
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on


If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry

I'm right up the road
I'll share your load

If you just call me, Call me
If you need a friend (Call me)
Call me (call me)
If you need a friend (Call me)
Call me, Call me


This Land is Your Land
By Woody Guthrie 1940


This land is your land and this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
Saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me

I roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me

This land is your land and this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me


Sing a Song
By Joe Raposo


Sing
Sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
 
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad
 
Sing
Sing a song
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
 
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Sing
Sing a song
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
