The Jazz Singer

They called her frivolous Sal.

A peculiar sort of a gal.

With a heart that was mellow.

An all 'round good fellow.

Was my gal Sal.

Your troubles, sorrows and care.

She was always willing to share.

A wild sort of devil.

But dead on the level.

Was my gal Sal.

Watch them shuffle along.

See them shuffle along.

Go take your best gal, your real pal.

Go down to the levee

I said to the levee.

And join that shuffling throng.

Hear that...

Wonderful pals are always hard to find.

Some folks have one.

Some folks have none.

And I was alone for years But fate was kind.

And in the end.

Sent me a friend.

Although he's not much higher Than my knee.

Still, he's the greatest thing on earth.

To me.

Dirty hands, dirty face.

Leads the neighbors a chase.

But his smile is as cute as can be.

Making noise, breaking toys.

Always fighting the boys.

But his eyes, they're a vision.

To see.

And when my work is done.

Coming home with the setting sun.

From the gate he'll start to run.

And then I'll kiss my boy.

Dirty hands, dirty face.

Little devil, that's what they say.

But to me.

He's an angel of joy.

Dirty hands, dirty face.

Leads the neighbors a chase.

But his smile, his little smile Is as cute as can be.

Making noise, breaking toys.

Always fighting the boys.

But his eyes, they're his mother's.

And they're a vision to see.

And when my work is done.

Coming home with the setting sun.

From the gate he'll start to run.

And then, oh

I'll... I'll kiss my boy.

Dirty hands, dirty face.

Little devil, that's what they say.

But to me.

He's an angel of joy.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard nothing yet.

Wait a minute, I tell you. You ain't heard nothing.

You wanna hear, "Toot, Toot, Tootsie!"? All right. Hold on, hold on.

Lou, play "Toot, Toot, Tootsie!" Three choruses, you understand?

In the third chorus, I whistle.

Give it to them hard and heavy. Go right ahead.

Toot, toot, Tootsie, goodbye.

Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry.

The little choo-choo train That takes me away from you.

You don't know Just how sad it makes me.

Kiss me, Tootsie, and then.

Do it all over again.

Watch for the mail I'll never fail.

If you don't get a letter Then you'll know I'm in jail, hey, hey.

Don't cry, Tootsie, don't cry.

Kiss me, Tootsie, goodbye.

Get hot.

Goodbye, Tootsie, goodbye.

Ah!

Goodbye, Tootsie, don't cry.

The little choo-choo train That takes me away from you.

You don't know Just how sad it makes me.

Kiss me, Tootsie, and then, hey, hey.

Come do it all over again.

Watch for the mail I'll never fail.

If you don't get a letter Then you'll know I'm in jail.

Don't cry, Tootsie, don't cry.

Ah!

Goodbye, Tootsie, goodbye.

Blue skies smi/in' at me.

Nothin' but blue skies do I see.

Bluebirds singin' a song.

Nothin' but little bluebirds all day long.

I never saw the sun shinin' so bright.

Never saw things goin' so right.

Noticing the days hurrying by.

When you're in love Oh, don't they fly?

Blue days, days, days All of them gone.

Nothin' but blue skies from now on.

- Did you like that, Mama? - Yes.

I'm glad of it. I'd rather please you...

than anybody I know of.

Oh, darling, will you give me something?

- What? - You'll never guess.

Shut your eyes, Mama.

Shut them for little Jakie.

I'm gonna steal something.

Oh, Jakie.
