Story about the TV Show


Side One

1. Be My Little Bumble Bee

Hi there folks how do you do
We’re mighty glad
to be here with you
A doodly doo a doodly doo
A doodly doo how do you do

Hi there folks
what do you say
We’re mighty glad
to be here today
We have some songs
we’re gonna sing
And some barbershop
chords are gonna
Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

We’re the Osmond
Brothers Boys Quartet
And we’re all tuned up to go
So sit right back
enjoy yourselves
And let’s get on
with the show

Be my little baby bumblebee
Buzz around, Buzz around
Keep a buzzing round
Bring home all that
honey loving to me
Honey loving to me

Won’t you come along and
Let me spend my happy hours
Rolling with you amongst the flowers
And when we get where
no-one else can see
Just you and me, Honey bee

In my little baby bumble
Roses are red, Violets are purple
I love waffles and maple syrple
I’ll be just as happy as can be
You and me, you and me
little bumblebee

Honey keep a buzzing please
I’ve got a dozen cousin bees
But I want you to be
my baby bumblebee, bumblebee
Won’t you come along
and save your loving just for me
And we’ll be happy wait and see

‘Cause I want you
to be my sugar pie
Want you
until the day I die
Want you to be my baby bumble
bum-bum-bumblebee
Keep a buzzing little honeybee


2. By The Light of 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 shining in June
Your silvery beams
will bring love’s dreams
We’ll be cuddling soon
By the silvery moon

Place, park, scene, dark
Silvery moon is shining
through the trees
Cast, two, me, you,
sound of kisses floating
on the breeze (the breeze)
Act one, begun, dialogue
“Where would you like to spoon”
My cue, with you,
underneath the silvery moon

By the light,
by the light of
the silvery moon
I want to spoon,
I want to spoon
with my honey and
croon love’s tune
Honey moon, keep
a shining in June
Your silvery beams
will bring love’s dreams
We’ll be cuddling soon
(we’ll be cuddling soon)
By the silvery moon
The silvery moon


3. Aura Lee

Aura Lee, Aura Lee
With your golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swallows filled the air

As the blackbird in the spring
‘neath the willow tree
Sat and piped
I heard him sing
Of my Aura Lee

Aura Lee, Aura Lee
With your golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swallows fill the air

Aura Lee, Aura Lee
With your golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swallows fill the air


4. In The Good Old Summertime

There’s a time of the year
That we all hold dear
Good old summertime
(summertime)
With the birds and the bees’s
And flowering trees’s
Good old summertime
(summertime)

How I love that summertime
That good old summertime
Strolling through the shady lane
With your baby mine
You hold her hand
and she holds yours
That’s a very good sign
That she will be your tootsie
In the good old summertime

How I love the time of year
When all the flowers appear
And in the good old summertime
The birds are always singing
How I love them singing
In the good old summertime

There’ll be lots of fun
For each and everyone
When you picnic
in the  park
You go around
with the girl and
Knowin’ you won’t come
Home until it’s dark

And every single night
The moon shines so bright
You think it’s just a big balloon
And every star up in the sky
Will wink his eye as you
Walk through the month June

So get yourself a girl
A very special girl
And tell her
she’s your baby mine
And you know
She can’t resist you
After she has kissed you
In the good old summertime

Oh how I love that summertime
That good old summertime
That summertime

Oh how I love that summertime
That good old summertime


5. Down Our Way

Down our way (down our way)
Both night and day (night and day)
You know everybody
and they all know you
And even policemen say
How do you do

Pals by the score (by the score)
And gals galore (gals galore)
And that old gang of mine
They sang Sweet Adeline
Down our way
Down our way

Oh, gee but I wish that I could
Wander through the fields
Of clover and the noon more way
And go strolling along
The dusty country lane
And mist the beautiful flowers
That bloom in May
And on Saturday nights
You go a courtin’
With your girlie
‘neath  the bright
And silvery moon
And on your way to
Church on Sunday mornin’
People all say
How do you do

I wish that I could
Spin a yarn of spool
With all the boys
At the corner grocery store
I could even see that
Good time horse bell
You rang at
Billy Smithey’s store

And that old gang
They sang Sweet Adeline
Down our way
Down our way


6. By By Blues

We’re a little bit young
to be offering advice
But we can’t resist,
‘cause you’re all so nice
We have some information
On how to lose the blues
Here it is, listen now,
Its the latest news

We’re saying
bye bye blues
We’re saying
bye bye blues
Now listen, bells ring
birds sing
Sun is shining,
no more pining
Just we two
(all alone)
Smiling too (be my own)
Don’t sigh, don’t cry
Bye bye blues

We’re saying
bye, bye blues,
bye bye blues
Bells ring, birds sing
When you’re singing
Blues go winging

Bye bye, bye bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
To your blues
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
here’s the latest news
When you’re smiling all the day
You will drive your cares away
With bye, bye blues
(bye bye blues)

Now if you try our advice
You can’t go wrong
You only need a smile
And a little song
With
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Blues
Bye, bye
