StradivariusWhen you listen to the tunes I've playedWhat kind of impression have I made If you think I'm a bit off key, I've missed a note or two, Just cut them short or add a few Just call it a Rhapsody, A rhapsody in A, E, I, O or U You may see my name On the sign board in the Post Office saying Reward for information leading To the arrest of W.H.E., born in 1903 But you may never see my name On the marquee or Hall of Fame Or as a Grammy award winner But who knows - They say Whatever's to be will be Some of these days you may see me Down at a street corner at Broadway and Main With my strad and a tin cup and cane And a sign saying "Brother can you spare a dime?" |
Bouquet of RosesI thought I'd send you a bouquet of rosesOr maybe some Easter posies But since Easter has come and gone And a new day has dawned So I decided to mount my dog sled And take you a bouquet of roses So we could hold hands and Rub noses. |

Whether you do a one step, two step, a heel and toe, a waltz, the twist, or do-si-do, you'll be up and atem so let's go |
