[As sung by Johnny Ray and Chorus:] [VERSE:] Brothers And sisters Listen You non-believers, listen You better start to believe All you doubters Be "hallelujah shouters" Or else you're going to grieve There's no time to wait You may be too late So, listen You don't know what you're missin' Until you start to believe [REFRAIN:] If you believe that there's a heaven You'll get to heaven If you believe If you believe that there are angels You'll see the angels If you believe I'm not making promises To the doubting Thomases But if you believe the Lord can help you The Lord will help you If you believe [PATTER:] -We do, we do, we do Do you believe? -We do, we do, we do Do you believe? -We do, we do, we do Well, Jonah went out one night in a gale Do you believe that? -We do, we do, we do Soon, he was swallowed up by a whale Do you believe that? -We do, we do, we do Daniel lay down with lions that roared Noah was on his ark when it poured Moses looked up and he spoke to the Lord Do you believe that?

A man chases a girl until she catches him He runs after a girl until he's caught He fishes for a girl until she's landed him It all comes out exactly the way she thought Uncertain, he tags along behind Uncertain, till she makes up his mind A man chases a girl until she catches him But don't run too fast while you are saying "No" And once you've caught him don't ever let him go

[Written for Marilyn Monroe, not used in film.] I got the sun, the moon, the stars, the sky And things of a personal have I But I ain't got a man, I ain't got a man They say I'm blessed with what it takes for guys And there is a definite gleam in my eyes What's the good of a gleam in your eyes When you ain't got a man? Love I'm a sitting duck, a wounded quail or grouse But What's the good of love without a man around the house? I got the ground, the dough to build a hut I've talked to the architect who'll do the job, but What's the good of a house that is built on a blueprint or plan When you ain't got a man, when you ain't got a man?
One swallow doesn't make a summer One quarrel doesn't mean we're through One heartache doesn't mean it's broken Please let me come back to you One parting doesn't mean that someone starts Going out with someone new One snowflake doesn't make a winter Please let me come back to you, do Please let me come back to you
Love leads to marriage, that leads to divorce That leads to lawyers, expensive, of course Private detectives who watch all your moves That leads to charges which nobody proves If there are children you hear from the court Father can't see them but pays their support Love is the start of it, I want no part of it Love leads to marriage, divorce and to lawyers Detectives and charges, supporting love children A youngster in school falls And only a fool falls In love
[1st REFRAIN:] [Mary:] You're a sentimental guy It's a charge that you'll deny But a song of Home and Mother In a pinch could make you cry And it seems my nat'ral bent Is to love a sentimental guy You can always knock them dead With some clever thing you've said But your heart is not in tune with What is running through your head And I'm perfectly content Just to love a sentimental guy You think your the type for Broadway You prowl it from night till dawn You really belong in Yonkers With a garden and a lawn Tho' I never heard you say In the ordinary way That you're simply wild about me Still I know there'll come a day When my evenings will be spent With a very sentimental guy [2nd REFRAIN:] [Wilson:] You're as wrong as you can be In your estimate of me When the rent for my apartment Is delayed a month or three If some tears will save the rent I'm a very sentimental guy When I'm speaking soft and low To a copper that I know Who is taking in a pal And I would like him to let go If a sob will get consent I'm a very sentimental guy I melt with the breath of springtime When grass starts to green the lawn I get very sentimental As I take my coat to pawn [Mary:] So you think and so you say In your clever sort of way But I know it won't be long before There'll come that happy day When my evenings will be spent With a very sentimental guy
[VERSE:] You know the big percentage in roulette And that is why you never place a bet You've talked to sev'ral horses that have won And once or twice you knew who'd win before the race was run You know what's coming when the cards are cut You're on to each and ev'ry racket, but [1st REFRAIN:] You're a sucker for a dame The pucker of a dame will make you jump Just like a chump When you gaze into her eyes The springs that make you wise refuse to work And you're a jerk I've seen you playing poker with three aces A hand of which you're very, very fond You knew that your opponent had three deuces But it happened your opponent was a blonde So you just threw your cards away And thought about the day when you became A sucker for a dame [2nd REFRAIN:] You're a softy for a dame You're lofty till a dame sets out her traps Then you collapse You can hold your own with guys But when a lady's eyes begin to pop You blow your top You're selling real estate that's under water The deal is set, you're riding on a crest The customer comes in to sign the papers In a sweater and a shelf upon her chest So you just tore your papers up And took her out to sup, then you became A sucker for a dame A sucker for a dame
I keep running away from you A week, a month or a day from you But all the time I'm away from you You are there by my side The further away, the closer you stay by my side I keep leaving you far behind I try to banish you from my mind I run away but I always find You are there by my side The further away, the closer you stay by my side I try doing without you But wherever I go I keep taking you with me And that worries me so I keep running away from you A week, a month or a day from you But all the time I'm away from you You are there by my side The further away, the closer you stay by my side Yes, the further I fly, the closer you're by my side
Sayonara, Japanese goodbye Whisper sayonara but you mustn't cry [Sayonara, if it must be so Whisper sayonara, smiling as we go] No more we stop to see pretty cherry blossoms No more we 'neath the tree looking at the sky Sayonara, sayonara Goodbye
[Duet for married man and mistress:] You can't do this to me, you can't do this to me I've given you the best years of my life You can't put on your hat, walk out and leave me flat -Go home tonight and tell it to your wife You can't do this to me, you can't do this to me I'm hurt, we haven't even had a row You can't give me the air and end this love affair -Go home tonight and tell it to your frau I guess that you've forgotten those wonderful nights Remember, in this country, a husband has rights You can't do this to me, you can't do this to me Remember that a home is not a house You can't say that we're through with all I've done for you -Go home tonight and tell it to your spouse
You're fun to be with, the one to be with When gray clouds dim the skies When stocks are falling and brokers calling You make my spirits rise When gloom makes up its mind to crawl down from his shelf You smile and soon I find I'm laughing at myself I miss your laughter on mornings after When my head weighs a ton You're beautiful, you're glamorous You're lovable, you're amorous But most of all you're fun
Let's keep in touch while we're dancing Let's dance and touch as before Let's cuddle close as we used to when we danced With nothing between us But the clothes we wore Locked in my arms while we're dancing 'Stead of rock and rolling miles apart Let's keep in touch, keep in touch as we used to when we danced Cheek to cheek and heart to heart
Outside of loving you, I like you And liking you makes me love you more You're fun to be with and disagree with While drinking cocktails or sipping tea with Outside of kissing you, I like you It sweetens the kisses I adore I love making love to you but after the kissing ends Outside of sweethearts, we're friends
You love me and I don't doubt it But you don't have to shout it Whisper it, whisper it in my ear I just love to hear you tell it But you don't have to yell it Whisper it, whisper it in my ear Pin that Medal Of Merit on my chest But please soft pedal The talking bit That goes with it You can shout from all the housetops, but I won't hear Unless you whisper it, baby, whisper it in my ear
I used to play it by ear That wonderful thing called love I never believed I'd fall in love, not me I used to think that those who kissed and ran away Would live to kiss again Another day I used to laugh at romance but now that I know the score But now that the one I've waited for is here I know that this is the song the angels sing This is the "once-in-a-lifetime" thing This is the real McCoy and it's crystal clear What's deep in your heart Can't be played by ear
[Father's REFRAIN:] You must wait Until you're married If you want A happy life If you want to know what bliss is You must save your kisses Till you're married, married Till you become a wife [Daughter's VERSE:] No more pig-tails, no more toys I'm old enough to play with boys No more school books, I'm all set For the kisses that I haven't had yet [Daughter's counterpoint REFRAIN:] I can't wait till I'm married to unwrap my many charms I can't wait till I'm married to be lost in someone's arms I can't wait for those kisses till I take that marriage vow I can't wait until I'm married, I want a little love right now
[Written January 1966, revised March 1978.] I don't care who takes you to the party, baby I don't care, long as I can take you home I don't care just who you go with, just who it may be I don't care how much you're with him Long as you wind up with me I don't care how long you keep me waiting, baby I won't leave till the band plays "Home Sweet Home" Give him all the dances at the party, baby But save your kisses for when I take you home
