Hi there folks how do you do
We’re mighty glad
to be here with you
A doodly doo a doodly doo
A doodly doo how do you do

Hi there folks
what do you say
We’re mighty glad
to be here today
We have some songs
we’re gonna sing
And some barbershop
chords are gonna
Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

We’re the Osmond
Brothers Boys Quartet
And we’re all tuned up to go
So sit right back
enjoy yourselves
And let’s get on
with the show

Be my little baby bumblebee
Buzz around, Buzz around
Keep a buzzing round
Bring home all that
honey loving to me
Honey loving to me

Won’t you come along and
Let me spend my happy hours
Rolling with you amongst the flowers
And when we get where
no-one else can see
Just you and me, Honey bee

In my little baby bumble
Roses are red, Violets are purple
I love waffles and maple syrple
I’ll be just as happy as can be
You and me, you and me
little bumblebee

Honey keep a buzzing please
I’ve got a dozen cousin bees
But I want you to be
my baby bumblebee, bumblebee
Won’t you come along
and save your loving just for me
And we’ll be happy wait and see

‘Cause I want you
to be my sugar pie
Want you
until the day I die
Want you to be my baby bumble
bum-bum-bumblebee
Keep a buzzing little honeybee

Sweetest l'il feller,
Everybody knows;
Dunno what to call him,
But he mighty lak' a rose!

Lookin' at his Mammy
Wid eyes so shiny blue,
Mek' you think that heav'n
Is comin' clost-ter you!

W'en he's a dar a-sleepin',
In his li'l place,
Think I see de angels
Lookin' thro' de lace.

When de dark is fallin',
When de shadders creep,
Den dey comes on tiptoe
Ter kiss 'im in his sleep.

Sweetest l'il feller,
Everybody knows;
Dunno what to call him,
But he mighty lak' a rose!

Lookin' at his Mammy
Wid eyes so shiny blue,
Mek' you think that heav'n
Is comin' clost-ter you!

Never leave your girl
For more than a day
There’s millions of guys
Who lose’em that way

Keep your eye on
the girlie you love
There’s a beau that
you know nothing of
Who comes around to call
when you’re out of sight
She may not fall
but maybe she might

Never leave her for
more than a day
‘Cause there’s millions
who lose them that way
So keep your eye
upon your girl Bill
‘Cause if you don’t
some other fellow will

Keep your eye on
the girlie you love
Every night when
the moon’s up above
Because a boy might try
to give her a call
She may be true but
maybe she’ll fall

Never take her back
home before ten
She might turn round
and go out again
So keep your eye
upon your girl Bill
‘Cause if you don’t
some other fellow will

She may kiss you
Goodnight by mistake
Call you Clarence
When your name is Jay
So keep your eye
upon your girl Bill
‘Cause if you don’t
some other fellow

Never leave your girl
For more than a day
There’s millions of guys
Who lose’em that way

4. Just A Song At Twilight

Once in the dear dead
days beyond recall
When on the world
the mist began to fall
Out of the dreams
that rose in happy throng
Low in our heart
love sang an old sweet song
And in the dusk where
fell the fires gleam
Softly it wove itself
into our dream
(into our dream)

Just a song at twilight,
when the lights are low
And the fading shadows
softly come and go
Though my heart is weary
and the day is long
Still to us at twilight
comes love’s old song
Comes love’s own sweet song

5. I Wouldn't Trade The Silver In My Mother's Hair

I wouldn’t trade the silver
in my mother’s hair
For all the gold
in the world (in the world)
The hands that rocked my cradle
through all my baby days
Are treasures from the
sky that money can’t buy

God gave us mothers
and tried to be fair
When he gave me mine,
I got more than my share
I wouldn’t trade the silver
in my mother’s hair
For all the gold in the world

1. Sweet Kentucky Babe

See the skeeters
Humming 'long the honeysuckle vine
Sweet Kentucky Babe
Sand man will be comin’
To this little man of mine
Sweet Kentucky Babe

Silvery moon a shining
In the heavens up above
Probably a pining for his
Lady love
You are mighty lucky
Babe of old Kentucky
Close your eyes and sleep

Fly away, fly away
Kentucky babe,
Fly away to rest
Fly away, lay your tiny little head
On your mammy’s breast.

By the light of the silvery moon,
I want to spoon,
To my honey I'll croon love's tune,
Honey moon keep a shining in June,
Your silv'ry beams will bring love dreams
We'll be cuddling soon,
By the silvery moon.

By the light (not the dark but the light) of the silvery moon (not the sun but the
moon) I wanna spoon (not croon but spoon)
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon (honey moon, honey moon), keep a-shinin' in June
Your silv'ry beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon by the silvery moon
(The silv'ry moon)

When the blackbird in the spring, on the willow tree,
Sat and rocked, I heard him sing, singing Aura Lee
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid of golden hair,
Sunshine came along with thee, and swallows in the air.

Aura Lee, Aura Lee, maid of golden hair,
Sunshine came along with thee, And swallows in the air.

In thy blush the rose was born, music when you spake,
Through thine azure eye the morn, sparkling seemed to break.
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, bird of crimson wing,
Never song have sung to me, in that sweet spring.

Aura Lee! The bird may flee, the willows golden hair
Swing through winter fitfully, on the stormy air.
Yet if thy blue eyes I see, gloom will soon depart,
For to me, sweet Aura Lee is sunshine through the heart.

When the mistletoe was green, midst the winter's snows,
Sunshine in thy face was seen, kissing lips of rose.
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, take my golden ring,
Love and light return with thee, and swallows with the spring.

4. In The Good Old Summertime

There’s a time of the year
That we all hold dear
Good old summertime
(summertime)
With the birds and the bees’s
And flowering trees’s
Good old summertime
(summertime)

How I love that summertime
That good old summertime
Strolling through the shady lane
With your baby mine
You hold her hand
and she holds yours
That’s a very good sign
That she will be your tootsie
In the good old summertime

How I love the time of year
When all the flowers appear
And in the good old summertime
The birds are always singing
How I love them singing
In the good old summertime

There’ll be lots of fun
For each and everyone
When you picnic
in the park
You go around
with the girl and
Knowin’ you won’t come
Home until it’s dark

And every single night
The moon shines so bright
You think it’s just a big balloon
And every star up in the sky
Will wink his eye as you
Walk through the month June

So get yourself a girl
A very special girl
And tell her
she’s your baby mine
And you know
She can’t resist you
After she has kissed you
In the good old summertime

5. Take Me Back To Babyland

Do you ever have a longing
for the days of long ago
Do you ever feel you’ve paid the price
For everything you know
And when your heart is heavy
and you don’t know how you stand
Do you ever wish you could
go back to days in babyland

Take me back to babyland
And please don’t let me go
Take me back where Santa Claus
Comes riding through the snow

Tell again of Cinderella
And her prince so bright
Let me be a child once more
Back in babyland.

6. Down Our Way

Down our way (down our way)
Both night and day (night and day)
You know everybody
and they all know you
And even policemen say
How do you do

Pals by the score (by the score)
And gals galore (gals galore)
And that old gang of mine
They sang Sweet Adeline
Down our way
Down our way

Oh, gee but I wish that I could
Wander through the fields
Of clover and the noon more way
And go strolling along
The dusty country lane
And mist the beautiful flowers
That bloom in May
And on Saturday nights
You go a courtin’
With your girlie
‘neath the bright
And silvery moon
And on your way to
Church on Sunday mornin’
People all say
How do you do

I wish that I could
Spin a yarn of spool
With all the boys
At the corner grocery store
I could even see that
Good time horse bell
You rang at
Billy Smithey’s store
