~~~~~~~~~~Lyrics~~~~~~~~~~
Though the world is so full of a number things, I know we should all be as happy as But are we? No, definitely no, positively no. Decidedly no. Mm mm. Short people have long faces and Long people have short faces. Big people have little humor And little people have no humor at all! And in the words of that immortal buddy Samuel J. Snodgrass, as he was about to be lead To the guillotine:
Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh Don't you know everyone wants to laugh? (Ha ha!) My dad said "Be an actor, my son But be a comical one They'll be standing in lines For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"
Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to eat Just slip on a banana peel The world's at your feet Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh
Make 'em... Make 'em laugh Don't you know everyone wants to laugh My grandpa said go out and tell 'em a joke But give it plenty of hoke
Make 'em roar Make 'em scream Take a fall But a wall Split a seam
You start off by pretending You're a dancer with grace You wiggle 'till they're Giggling all over the place And then you get a great big custard pie in the face Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh Don't you know... all the...wants..? My dad... They'll be standing in lines For those old honky tonk monkeyshines

Garland apparently performed over 40 takes of this song between October 1953 and February 1954. The track was prerecorded on September 3, 1953.
Music by Harold Arlen Arranged by Skip Martin Orchestra directed by Ray Heindorf Lyrics by Ira Gershwin:
The night is bitter, The stars have lost their glitter, The winds grow colder And suddenly you're older, And all because of the man that got away. No more his eager call, The writing's on the wall, The dreams you dreamed have all Gone astray.
The man that won you Has gone off and undone you. That great beginning Has seen the final inning. Don't know what happened.
It's all a crazy game! No more that all-time thrill, For you've been through the mill, And never a new love will Be the same.
Good riddance, good-bye! Ev'ry trick of his you're on to. But, fools will be fools, And where's he gone to? The road gets rougher, It's lonelier and tougher. With hope you burn up, Tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no letup the live-long night and day! Ever since this world began There is nothing sadder than A one-man woman looking for The man that got away, The man that got away.HD 1080p Singin in the Rain (Title Song) 1952 - Gene Kellyozabbavo772011-07-20 | "Singin' in the Rain" Song written in 1929 Music by Nacio Herb Brown Lyrics by Arthur Freed Originally from The Hollywood Revue of 1929 Sung by Gene Kelly as Don Lockwood

Dancin' in the rain Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah I'm happy again! I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!
I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain... [ADDITIONAL VERSE] Why am I smiling And why do I sing? Why does September Seem sunny as spring? Why do I get up Each morning and start?

Lyrics:
Good mornin', good mornin'! We've danced the whole night through, good mornin', good mornin' to you.
Good mornin', good mornin'! It's great to stay up late, good mornin', good mornin' to you.
When the band began to play the sun was shinin' bright. Now the milkman's on his way, it's too late to say goodnight.
So, good mornin', good mornin'! Sunbeams will soon smile through, good mornin', my darlin', to you.
Here we are together, a couple of stand-uppers. Our day is done, breakfast time starts with our supper.
Here we are together, ah, but the best of friends must party. So let me sing this party song from the bottom of my hearty.
Good morning, it's a lovely morning. Good morning, what a wonderful day. We danced the whole night through. Good morning, good morning to you.
I said good morning, see the sun is shinin'. Good morning, hear the birdies sing. It's great to stay up late. Good mornin', good mornin' to you.
When the band began to play the stars were shinin' bright. Now the milkman's on his way, it's too late to say goodnight.
Good morning, good morning! Sunbeams will soon smile through. Good mornin', good morning', Good mornin', my darlin', to you!HD 1080p Beautiful Girl Montage ~ Singin in the Rain (1952)ozabbavo772011-07-19 | From a recently surfaced 1080p High-Definition digital transfer of Singin' in the Rain (1952).

Lyrics:
Beautiful girl, you're a lovely picture Beautiful girl, you're a gorgeous mixture Of all that lies, under the big blue skies My heart cries... Beautiful girl, you're a dazzling icon Beautiful girl, I could never ----- [Dialogue] If I have you making my dream come true
They may be blondes or brunettes They are hard to resist You surpass them like a queen You've got those lips That were meant to be kissed And you're over sweet sixteen Oh, Beautiful girl, what a gorgeous creature Beautiful girl, let me call a preacher What can I do But give my heart to you [spoken] (A beautiful girl is like a great work of art. She's stylish, she's chic and she also is smart. For lounging in her boudoir, this simple plain pajama. Her cloak his trimed with monkey fur to lend a dash of drama. Anyone for tennis? This will make them cringe, And you'll knock'em dead at dinner if your gown just drips with fringe. You simply can't be too modest at the beach or at the pool. And in summer time it's organdy, that'll keep you fresh and cool. You'll never guess what loud applausse this cunning hat receives, And you'll never dream the things that you could hide within these sleeves. A string of pearls with a suit of tweed, it started quite a riot. And if you must wear fox to the opera, dame fashions says dye it. Black is best when you are in court) The judge will be impressed, But white is right when you're a bride And you'll want to be well dressed. Beautiful girl, for you I've got a passion Beautiful girl, you're my queen of fashion I'm in a whirl, over my beautiful girl.HD Dinah Shore I Get a Kick Out of You on Dinah Shore Chevy Show (1956-1963)ozabbavo772011-07-04 | From a transfer of an original NBC color tape of "The Dinah Shore Chevy Show" (1956-1963) upscaled to 720p High Definition.

**** Maybe I'll Come Back ****
Words and Music By: Charles L. Cooke and Howard C. Jeffrey
I will come back when the elephants roost in the trees
I will come back when the birds make love to the bees
I will come back when the sun refuses to shine
And President Coolidge is a cousin of mine
I will come back when the fish walk around on two feet
And promenade up and down on Washington Street
When the snow has turned from white to blue
Then maybe I will come back to you
Whistler's mother is a sister of mine
When the snow has turned from white to blue
Then maybe I will come back to you
Yes, maybe I'll come back
Could be I'll be back
Maybe I'll come back to you
**** "Over the Rainbow" Lyrics: ****
Music by Harold Arlen
Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?HD Tammy Blanchard Judy Garland DELETED SCENE/SONG 1939 Mickey Rooney 2001 Biopicozabbavo772010-07-30 | "Life With Judy Garland: Me & My Shadows" (2001) is presented here in an upscaled 1080p HD clip of a new UNCUT 180 minute version of the film that surfaced in Europe.

**** Judy Garland's Palace Montage Lyrics: ****
I played the state,
The capital,
And people said
Don't stop,
Until you play the Palace,
you haven't played the top.
For years I had it preached to me,
And drummed into my head,
Until you play the Palace,
You might as well be dead.
A team of hoofers was the headline,
At the Majestic, down in Dallas.
But they canceled the day,
Their agent called to say,
You can open the bill
at the palace.
So, it became the Hall of Fame,
The Mecca of the trade.
When you had played the Palace,
You knew that you were made.
So, I hope you understand my wondrous thrill,
Cos Vaudeville's back at the Palace,
And I'm on the bill.{HD/720P} Barack & Michelle Obama First Dance HIGH DEFINITION 720P Neighborhood Ballozabbavo772009-01-22 | The First Couple: President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama's first dance (to Beyoncé Knowles's rendition of "At Last," first made famous by Etta James) at the Neighborhood Ball in Washington D.C.
