Thread Name: Req: Sing-along songs from the 20's & 30's
Subject: Lyr Add: THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING
[Lyrics from The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music:

THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING
Words by Dorothy Terriss. Music by Julian Robledo. Revised by Frank E. Barry. 1922.

[CHIME SOUNDS]
[A] It's three o'clock in the morning;
We've danced the whole night through.
And daylight soon will be dawning;
Just one more waltz with you.
That melody so entrancing
Seems to be made for us two.
I could just keep right on dancing,
Forever, dear, with you.

[B] [CHIME SOUNDS]
There goes the three o'clock chime,
Chiming, rhyming.
My heart keeps beating in time.
[CHIME SOUNDS]
Sounds like an old sweet love tune.
Say that there soon will be a honeymoon.

[REPEAT A.]
[CHIME SOUNDS]

[The Virtual Gramophone has 2 recordings: one by Billy Jones, no date; and one by Lewis James, 1922.]
