NOBODY - Bert Williams 1905

When life seems full of clouds an' rain

and I am filled with naught but pain,

who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain ?

Nobody

When winter comes with snow an' sleet,

and me with hunger and cold feet,

who says "Ah, here's two bits, go an' eat!"

Nobody

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody,

I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!

And until I get somethin' from somebody, sometime,

I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time!

When I try hard an' scheme an' plan,

to look as good as I can,

who says " Ah, look at that handsome man!"

Nobody

When all day long things go amiss,

and I go home to find some bliss,

who hands to me a glowin' kiss?

Nobody

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody,

I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!

And until I get somethin' from somebody, sometime,

I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time!

Nobody, no time!

SOME OF THESE DAYS - Sophie Tucker 1911 

I LOVE YOU TRULY - Elsie Baker 1912
BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON - Ada Jones 1910

By the light of the silvery moon 
I want to spoon
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June
Your silvery beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon 
By the silvery moon

Place - park, scene - dark
Silvery moon is shining through the trees
Cast - two, me - you
Summer kisses floating on the breeze
Act one, be done
Dialog - where would ya like to spoon?
My cue, with you
Underneath the silvery moon

By the light of the silvery moon
I want to spoon
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June 
Your silvery beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon by the silvery moon

Act two, Scene - new
Roses blooming all around the place
Cast - three, You - me
Preacher with a solemn-looking face
Choir sings, bell rings
Preacher: You are wed forever more
Act two, all though
Every night the same encore

By the light, not the dark but the light
Of the silvery moon, not the sun but the moon
I want to spoon, not croon, but spoon
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon, honey moon, honey moon
Keep a-shinin' in June
Your silvery beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon 
By the silvery moon 
The silvery moon...

I love you truly, truly dear,
Life with its sorrow, life with its tear
Fades into dreams when I feel you are near
For I love you truly, truly dear.

Ah! Love, 'tis something to feel your kind hand
Ah! Yes, 'tis something by your side to stand;
Gone is the sorrow, gone doubt and fear,
For you love me truly, truly dear.
