SHE WEARS RED FEATHERS - 13/03/1953
4 weeks at #1 - 16 weeks on chart

(She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt)
(She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt)
She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me

I worked in a London bank
Respectable position
From nine to three they serve you tea
But doom your disposition
Each night at the music hall
Travelogues I'd see
And once a pearl of a native girl
Kept smiling right at me

She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me

Goodbye to the London bank
I started in the sailin'
The fourteenth day from Mandalay
I spied her from the railin'
She knew I was on my way
Waited and was true
She said you son of an Englishman
I've dreamed each night of you

She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me

I went to her ma and pa
And said I loved her only
And they both said we could be wed
Oh what a ceremony
An elephant brought her in
Placed her by my side
While six baboons got out bassoons
And played here comes the bride

I'm back here in London town
And though it may sound silly
She's here with me and you should see
Us walk down Picadilly
The boys at the London bank
Kinda hold their breath
She sits with me and sips her tea
Which tickles them to death

She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me

LOOK AT THAT GIRL - 11/09/1953
6 weeks at #1 - 14 weeks on chart

Look at the girl, she's like a dream come true
Ah look at that girl, can blue eyes be so blue
Look at the way she walks, listen when she talks
With each word my heart just skips
Oh if I could kiss those lips
Mmmm
Look at that girl, you see what I see
Oh look at that girl, she's walking straight to me
That's right, last night I held her tight
Ho ho it happens all the time
I look at that girl, and I can't believe she's mine

(Look at the girl, she's like a dream come true)
I don't believe it they're making it up
(Look at that girl can blue eyes be so blue)
But if I'm dreaming please don't wake me up
Just look at the way she walks
Listen when she talks
With each word my heart just flips
Oh if I could kiss those lips

Look at that girl, do you see what I see
Look at that girl
She's walking straight to me
That's right, last night I held her tight
It happens all the time
I look at that girl, and I can't believe she's mine

SINGING THE BLUES - 04/01/957
3 weeks at #1 - 22 weeks on chart

Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues
'cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way

Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night
'cause everythin's wrong, and nothin' ain't right
Without you, you got me singin' the blues

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothin' left for me to do
But cry-y-y-y over you (cry over you)

Well, I never felt more like runnin' away
But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay
Without you, you got me singin' the blues

Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues
'cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way

Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night
'cause everythin's wrong, and nothin' ain't right
Without you, you got me singin' the blues

Oh, the moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothin' left for me to do
But cry-y-y-y over you (cry over you)

Well, I never felt more like runnin' away
But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay
Without you, you got me singin' the blues
