Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Leslie Sarony's 'Years x 3' + 'No x 1000 From: GUEST,Lindswidder Date: 18 Apr 04 - 10:50 AM Here's what I could pick out, it's a 1937 recording by Elsie Carlisle and is part of a medley: No, no a thousand times no You cannot buy my caress No, no a thousand times no I'd rather die than say yes I am a child of the valley (indistinct lyric)...the maiden you see He was a desperate Desmond Who owned all the town property He would pursue me through hill and through dells I and I was just wise to his game Each time he would threaten "You'll wed me or else" These are the words I'd explain No, no, a thousand times no You cannot buy my caress No, no a thousand times no I'd rather die than say yes! Hope this is helpful. A friend believes he may have the sheet music, and will try and look it out this afternoon for more of the words. |

Subject: Lyr Add: NO! NO! A THOUSAND TIMES NO! From: Jim Dixon Date: 21 Apr 04 - 08:20 AM Copied from http://members.aol.com/roxln1/midistuf/pop_mus/thirties/no1000.txt NO! NO! A THOUSAND TIMES NO! By Al Sherman, Al Lewis and Abner Silver Copyright 1934 by Leo Feist, Inc. She was a child of the valley. An innocent maiden was she. He was a desperate Desmond Who owned all the town property. He would pursue her through hills and through dells, But she was wise to his game. Each time he threatened "You'll wed me or else," These were the words she'd exclaim: CHORUS: "No! No! A thousand times no! You cannot buy my caress! No! No! A thousand times no! I'd rather die than say yes." SPOKEN: Two, three, four. Ah! but this poisonous villain, He wouldn't leave her alone. Said, "Either join me in wedlock Or I'll kick you out of your home." She knew her people so feeble and old Needed a roof o'er their heads. Winter would soon bring the snow and the cold, Yet she defied him and said: CHORUS That night he crept up to her window And oh! how that villain could creep! He stole her out of her boudoir And kidnapped her while fast asleep. He tied the gal to the old railroad track. The milk train was rushing down the hill. She cried to him, "Though my future looks black, You buzzard, my answer is still: CHORUS Now she loved the young village blacksmith. A muscular young "he-man" was he. He heard that his love was in danger And right to the rescue flew he. He grabbed his darling in "thee" nick of time And yelled, "This is my future wife!" The villain sneered, "Blacksmith, that maiden is mine!" The hero cried, "Not on your life!" CHORUS Now this is the end of our story. Her honor was left without stain. The hero took her to the altar. The villain was foiled once again. The mortgage was paid and the handsome young swain Moved in with her folks right away. Their life is contented though simple and plain And no more will she have to say: CHORUS |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Leslie Sarony's 'Years x 3' + 'No x 1000 From: Jim Dixon Date: 21 Apr 04 - 09:21 AM I found a recording by Leslie Sarony of YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, available from an Australian website: Crystal Stream Audio. It also includes NO, NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO. Can you quote any lyrics from YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, other than the title? (Google gives 19000 hits on the phrase "years and years and years" and I'd like to narrow it down.) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Leslie Sarony's 'Years x 3' + 'No x 1000 From: Mr Happy Date: 21 Apr 04 - 08:50 PM From memory of a 78 I had years ago that got broken, 'A nice folding bed we had hidden away, For years and years and years, To put up our friends if they wanted to stay For years and years and years, But sorry to say like the mistletoe bough Something went wrong with the spring somehow And ?????........????? For years and years and years |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Leslie Sarony's 'Years x 3' + 'No x 1 From: Billy Weeks Date: 22 Apr 04 - 01:46 PM There was a music hall song by Joe Tabrar published in 1909 called 'For Months and Months and Months', but I realise this is only one twelfth of an answer. |
