Medley: I Whistle A Happy Tune / The Girl That I Marry / Cabaret / Mame / Hello, Dolly! - Max Bygraves

Whenever I feel afraid

I hold my head erect

And whistle a happy tune

So no one will suspect I’m afraid

While shivering in my shoes

I strike a careless pose

And whistle a happy tune

And no one ever knows I’m afraid

The result of this deception

Is very strange to tell

For when I fool the people I fear

I fool myself as well

I whistle a happy tune

And every single time

The happiness in the tune

Convinces me that I’m not afraid

Make believe you’re brave

And the trick will take you far

You may be as brave

As you make believe you are

You may be as brave

As you make believe you are!

The girl that I marry will have to be

As soft and as pink as a nursery

The girl I call my own

Will wear satin and laces and smell of cologne

Her nails will be polished and in her hair

She’ll wear a gardenia and I’ll be there

Stead of flittin', I’ll be sittin'

Next to her and she’ll purr like a kitten

A doll I can carry

The girl that I marry must be!

What good is sitting alone in your room

Come hear the music play

Life is a Cabaret old chum

Come to the Cabaret

Put down the knitting

The book and the broom

Time for a holiday

Life is Cabaret old chum

Come to the Cabaret

Come taste the wine, come hear the band

Come blow your horn, start celebrating

Right this way your table’s waiting

No use permitting some prophet of doom

To wipe every smile away

Life is a Cabaret old chum

Only a caberet old chum

So come to the Cabaret!

You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame

You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame

You’ve got the banjoes strummin'

And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band

The whole plantation’s hummin'

You brought Dixie back to Dixie land

You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame

You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame

You make the old magnolia tree

Blossom at the mention of your name

You’ve made us feel alive again

You’ve given us the drive again

To make the South revive again, Mame!

You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame

You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame

You make the old magnolia tree

Blossom at the mention of your name

You’re special fascination’ll

Proved to be inspirational

We think you’re just sensational, Mame!

Hello, hello Dolly, well hello Dolly

It’s so nice to have you back where you belong

You’re looking swell Dolly, we can tell Dolly

You’re still glowin', you’re still crowin', you’re still goin' strong

We feel the room swayin' for the band’s playin'

One of your old favorite songs from way back when

So… take her wrap fellas

Find her an empty lap fellas

Dolly you’ll never go away again!

We feel the room swayin' for the band’s playin'

One of your old favorite songs from way back when

So… golly gee fellas

Find her a vacant big knee fellas

Dolly you’ll never go away

Dolly you’ll never go away

Dolly you’ll never go away again!
