honey ... money
Get the Money
Makes no difference who you are; Get the money. Makes no difference who you are, My honey. Oh, a nickel is a nickel And a dime is a dime, A dollar is a dollar most any old time. Makes no difference who you are; Get the money!
Money
Money is the meat in the cocoanut, Money is the milk in the jug; When you've got lots of money And you're feeling very funny, You're as happy as a bug in a rug.
Two songs run together, sung by Carl Sandburg in his 1967 recording, Carl Sandburg sings his American songbag. I'm not positive about the title of the first song, but I am about the second song. It's also recorded in his 1927 book, The American Songbag.

"We're in the Money," lyrics by Al Dubin, music by Harry Warren (from the film Gold Diggers of 1933, 1933)
We're in the money, we're in the money; We've got a lot of what it takes to get along! We're in the money, that sky is sunny, Old Man Depression you are through, you done us wrong.
We never see a headline about breadlines today. And when we see the landlord we can look that guy right in the eye We're in the money, come on, my honey, Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along!
Oh, yes we're in the money, you bet we're in the money, We've got a lot of what it takes to get along! Let's go we're in the money, Look up the skies are sunny, Old Man Depression you are through, you done us wrong.
We never see a headline about breadlines today. And when we see the landlord we can look that guy right in the eye We're in the money, come on, my honey, Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along!

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
Money won't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend when yuou're lonely or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person's a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
When my life is over, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones will weep, there's no doubt
But one things for certain, when it comes muy time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

THE BELLS by Edgar Allan Poe 1849
Hear the sledges with the bells- Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells- From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

Charlie Landsborough - Me And The Elephant Song Lyrics
I remember the day we had nothing to do So we went down to the city zoo Just to kill an hour or two Out in the good sunshine
We had so much fun We were glad that we came Feed all the animals And gave each a name Didn't even mind when it started to rain We had a real good time
Now that its over and your far away I miss you more with each passin day And all my friends sympathize and say You'll forget in time Yes you will Give yourself a little time
But it's already been over a year Just in case you interested You might like to hear How everyone is doing down at the city zoo with out you Well the monkey forgot you The hippo forgot you And so did the kangaroo But me and the elephant We still remember you Me and the elephant will never forget you
Well I wrote to Ann Landers and Dear Abby too, Sought their advice as to what I should do They said everything that reminds me of you Would all have to go So I burned all of your pictures Except two or three The one by my bed And the one on my TV And the one that I always carry with me everywhere I go
And today was so nice And since I was in town I thought I'd take the opportunity to go down And see how everyone is down at the city zoo And what's new Well the rhino forgot you The zebra forgot you The polar bear and the tiger too But me and the elephant we still remember you Me and the elephant will never forget you

Carol of the Bells This has long been one of my favorites to listen to, and to sing (with a good choir).
Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer, to young and old, meek and the bold,
Ding dong ding dong that is their song with joyful ring all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere filling the air
Oh how they pound, raising the sound, o'er hill and dale, telling their tale,
Gaily they ring while people sing songs of good cheer, Christmas is here,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, On on they send, on without end, their joyful tone to every home Dong Ding dong ding... dong! Bong!

The Hannukah Song Performed by Adam Sandler on 03 Dec 1994 (Roseanne)
Chorus:
Put on your yamukah Here comes Hannukah So much funnukah To celebrate Hannukah
Hannukah is: the festival of lights Instead of one day of presents We have eight crazy nights
When you feel like/the only kid in town Without a Christmas tree Here's a list of people that are Jewish like you and me:
David Lee Roth lights the menorah So do Kirk Douglas, James Caan and the late Dinah Shorah
Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli? Bowser from Sha-Na-Na And Arthur Fonzarelli!
Paul Newman's half Jewish and Goldie Hawn's half, too Put them together, What a fine looking Jew!
You don't need to Deck the Halls Or Jingle Bell Rock, 'Cause you can spin the dreidel With Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock!
[Chorus]
O.J. Simpson [not a Jew] But guess who is? Hall of Famer Rod Carew [He converted] We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby,
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish Not too shabby Some people think Ebenezer Scrooge is Well, he's not, but guess who is -- All three Stooges!
[Chorus]
So many Jews are in Show Biz Tom Cruise isn't but I think his agent is
Tell your friend Veronica It's time to celebrate Hanukkah I hope I get a harmonica On this lovely lovely Hanukkah So drink your gin and tonica But don't smoke marijuanica If you really really wannika Have a Happy Happy Happy Happy Hanukkah
Eight candles shine for the Maccabees Eight candles shine for the Maccabees Down from the mountains with Liberty's sword They came like the flame of the Lord Dance the Horah, light the Menorah This is the time of joy The road to freedom we take today With the Maccabees leading the way.
Eight candles shine for the Maccabees Eight candles shine for the Maccabees The tyrant was routed with all of his men And the temple made holy again
Dance the Horah, light the Menorah This is the time of joy The road to freedom we take today With the Maccabees leading the way.
Eight candles shine for the Maccabees Eight candles shine for the Maccabees Chanukah's children will never forget The glory that shines for us yet
Dance the Horah, light the Menorah This is the time of joy The road to freedom we take today With the Maccabees leading the way.

Cold Cold Heart by Hank Williams . . . sung again recently by Norah Jones (and done very well, I might add)
I tried so hard my dear to show that you’re my every dream. Yet you’re afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart Why can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue And so my heart is paying now for things I didn’t do In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start Why can’t I free your doubtful mind,and melt your cold cold heart
You’ll never know how much it hurts to see you sat and cry You know you need and want my love yet you’re afraid to try Why do you run and hide from lies,to try it just ain’t smart Why can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory The more I learn to care for you,the more we drift apart Why can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
