Blue skies up above
Why everyone's in love
Up a lazy river
How happy you can be
Oh, up a lazy river with me
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Up a lazy river
By the old mill run
That lazy, lazy river
In the new day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind, old tree
Throw away your troubles
Dream a dream with me
Oh, up a lazy river where the robin's song
Awakes a bright new morning
We can loaf along
With blue skies up above
Everyone's in love
Up a lazy river with
Do do do do do do do, With me
Where I can buy a paper doll
That I can call my own
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys
With their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
When I come home at night
She will be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all the world
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl
So glow, little glow-worm, glimmer glimmer
Shine, little glow-worm, glimmer glimmer
Lead us lest too far we wander
Love sweet voices calling yonder
A-little glow-worm, glimmer glimmer
Hey there, don't get dimmer dimmer
I got a gal that I love so
Glow, little glow-worm, glow
Glow, little glow-worm, glow
Glow, little glow-worm, glow
Cab driver, drive by Mary's place
I just want a chance to see her face
Don't stop the meter, let it race
Cab driver, drive by Mary's place
Cab driver, once more 'round the block
Never mind the tickin' of the clock
And don't stop the meter, let it race
Cab driver, drive by Mary's
Oh, baby, I'm racking my brain to think of the name
To give to this tune, so Perry can croon
And maybe old Bing will give it a fling
And that'll start everyone humming the thing
The melody's dumb, repeats and repeats
And if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that's the main thing that makes it complete
'Cause everybody's swinging today
So they call it Opus One
It's not for Sammy Kaye, hey hey
It's Opus One
It's got to swing and sway, baby
If Mister Les Brown can make it renowned
And Ray Anthony can rock it for me
There's never a doubt you can knock yourself out
Whenever you hear Opus, one more time
And Old Les Brown can make it renowned
And Ray Anthony can rock it for me
There's never a doubt it'll knock you out
Whenever you hear Opus Number One
One more time
And the songs that the Mills Brothers Sang
