Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THEY SOUND THE LAST ALL CLEAR From: Jim Dixon Date: 17 Jun 13 - 09:53 PM WHEN THEY SOUND THE LAST ALL CLEAR words ad music Hugh Charles, Louis Elton, 1941. As sung by Vera Lynn When they sound the last all clear, How happy, my darling, we'll be, When they turn up the lights And the dark lonely nights Are only a memory. Never more we'll be apart, Always together, sweetheart, For the peace bells will ring And the whole world will sing When they sound the last all clear. We've got our troubles and we've got our cares, But as long as we keep smiling through, There'll come a day when the clouds roll away And the sun will be shining anew. [Repeat:] When they sound the last all clear.... Nevermore we'll be apart.... |
Subject: Lyr Add: THANKS, MR ROOSEVELT! (George Formby) From: Jim Dixon Date: 13 Jun 13 - 12:28 AM I'm tempted to think this was meant ironically, but apparently not. THANKS, MR ROOSEVELT! Written by: Connor, 1941. As sung by George Formby John Bull has written a message And sent it off by clipper plane today. Oh, what a wonderful message! Now let me tell you what it had to say: It just said, "Thanks, Mr. Roosevelt; it's swell of you For the way you're helping us to carry on. You'll see the British Empire smiling through When these dark and stormy days are gone. "And Franklin, by the way, please convey Our congratulations to the folks in USA." We're saying, "Thanks, Mr. Roosevelt; we're proud of you For the way you're helping us to carry on. "Old friend, you've never denied us. In our hearts, your name is evergreen. Your land is standing beside us, As in the days of nineteen seventeen." So we say, "Thanks, Mr. Roosevelt; it's swell of you For the way you're helping us to carry on. You'll see the British Empire smiling through When these dark and stormy days are gone. "And Franklin, by the way, please convey Our congratulations to the folks in USA." We're saying, "Thanks Mr. Roosevelt we're proud of you For the way you're helping us to carry on. [Instrumental interlude.] "And Franklin, by the way, please convey Our congratulations to the folks in USA." We're saying, "Thanks, Mr. Roosevelt; we're proud of you For the way you're helping us to carry on." |
Subject: RE: WWII songs From: Mr Red Date: 11 Jun 13 - 05:30 AM I collected a song from a little old lady with a powerful voice. Donnie Donegan. Usually seen at Upton FF UK. She used to run the Gallion FC in Stourport for amny years. She sang the song "Down with Hitler and the Nazis" and she is not sure where it came from but thinks her father might have written it in Liverpool during the war. I have a recording of it somewhere. She has recordings of Arlo Guthrie who was booked for her club, singing into the wee small hours in her front room. She reckons she still has the tape! Somewhere! |
Subject: Lyr Add: I'LL WALK ALONE (Cahn/Styne) From: Jim Dixon Date: 11 Jun 13 - 12:03 AM This song has been mentioned several times in this thread. Wikipedia says Dinah Shore recorded it twice. Indeed, Spotify has 2 versions. I'm guessing the first version shown below is the one used in the film, and the second is a result of a reworking to turn it into a Christmas song—but without liner notes, I can't be sure of the circumstances. I'LL WALK ALONE Words by Sammy Cahn; music by Jule Styne; ©1944. Introduced by Dinah Shore in the film "Follow the Boys" [Version 1:] They call; no date. I promised you I'd wait. I want them all to know I'm strictly single-O. I'll walk alone Because, to tell you the truth, I'll be lonely I don't mind being lonely, When my heart tells me you are lonely too. I'll walk alone. They'll ask me why and I'll tell them I'd rather. There are dreams I must gather, Dreams we fashioned the night You held me tight. I'll always be near you wherever you are, Each night in ev'ry prayer. Just whisper; I'll hear you, no matter how far, So close your eyes and I'll be there. Please walk alone, But send your love and your kisses to guide me. Till you're walkin' beside me, I'll walk alone. Darling, all by myself I'll walk alone. * * * [Version 2:] I'll walk alone Through every Christmas until you're beside me, And I'll dream you're beside me, When my heart tells me you are dreaming too. I'll walk alone, With all the mem'ries of other Decembers, Just a girl who remembers Dreams we fashioned the night You held me tight. I'll always be near you … [same as above] |

Subject: RE: WWII songs From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 19 May 09 - 06:46 AM I hope this won't count as thread drift. On Saturday 4th. July the Lewes Saturday Folk Club in Lewes, Sussex, UK, has a night with the excellent verse and prose reader Roger Brasier: 'THE DAY WAR BROKE OUT An evening of humour, nostalgia and pathos to mark the 70th. anniversary of the start of World War Two. Featuring Roger Brasier (Yes! it's That Man Again) and Full Supporting Programme.' Roger will perform, of course, but we'd like the floor singers to choose songs, tunes or readings in advance and let us know what they've chosen. This means we can put a programme together and you can be sure that what you've chosen won't be nicked by someone else. The music of the First World War has been much researched, but less has been done on the Second World War. If you'd like to take part, please email me with your choice of music: valmaigoodyear(at)aol.com. I can tell you for a start that I'm doing Louis Simpson's poem 'Carentan' which is in ballad style, so I've put what I hope is an appropriate tune to it. Valmai (Lewes) |

Subject: RE: WWII songs From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 01 Oct 08 - 12:02 PM Though many songs come to mind, from my childhood in the 1940's, what I recall most vividly is how evocative many of the best songs were in painting pictures of the loneliness of men far from home, the pain of parents, wives and families waiting and praying for their safe return and of the longing for familiar things many at war knew they would never see again. At no time since, in no other war in my lifetime, have such images been as indelible. The shame of it is that it takes a war to make us all realize how precious life and love truly are. With today's instant news and satellite transmissions, time and distance have shrunk so much that it is unlikely that such songs will ever be written again. They were, after all, very much the product of that earlier time when news was long in coming and radio and newsreels provided all that could be learned on the home front. A deep melancholy was the result and the songs were a shared way of expressing it. |
Subject: RE: WWII songs From: Greg B Date: 30 Sep 08 - 02:33 PM Oscar Brand is probably the best source for such things; Google him, he's got a web site. He made an album (probably still available) of WW II pilot songs. Cracking show! There's also a book you might be able to find called, if I recall propery, "There I Was Flat on My Back." I used to be quite active in Combat Flight Sim (version 1 mostly). I was a member of the "Old Geezer" (GZR) squadron; hung out a bit with the 'Daffy Ducks' (France-based) (coin coin!) as well. |

Subject: RE: WWII songs From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 19 Jun 08 - 01:42 PM Having been born before WWII, I heard most of the ones played in the U.S. The songs of that era tend to be intensely personal and the list one keeps in memory tends to reflect where he or she was at the time. If you were in England during the Blitz, you had one set of issues to worry about, as destruction rained down from the skies. If you were in the states, you might have been a lonely bride waiting for news of a loved one overseas. If you were a G.I., or a soldier or sailor anywhere, certain songs reminded you of the home and family you longed to see again. I remember the voices of certain singers who were prominent at the time; Jo Stafford, Margaret Whiting, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine and many others. You can probably size up your audience and find appropriate songs depending on which constituency they represent from the War era. |

From: The Walrus Date: 19 Apr 06 - 08:26 PM GUEST,Shelley, Re:- How 'Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree) The song can be heard here: http://www.firstworldwar.com/audio/howyagonna.htm HOW 'YA GONNA KEEP 'EM DOWN ON THE FARM? (After They've Seen Paree) Words by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young; Music by Walter Donaldson; ©1919. 1. "Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking," Said his wifey dear, "Now that all is peaceful and calm, The boys will soon be back on the farm." Mister Reuben started winking, And slowly rubbed his chin. He pulled his chair up close to mother, And he asked her with a grin: CHORUS 1: How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm, After they've seen Paree? How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway, Jazzin' aroun' and paintin' the town? How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from harm? That's a mystery. They'll never want to see a rake or plow, And who the deuce can parley-vous a cow? How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm, After they've seen Paree? 2. "Reuben, Reuben, you're mistaken," Said his wifey dear, "Once a farmer, always a jay, And farmers always stick to the hay." "Mother Reuben, I'm not fakin', Tho' you may think it strange; But wine and women play the mischief With a boy who's loose with change." CHORUS 2: How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm, After they've seen Paree? How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway, Jazzin' aroun' and paintin' the town? How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from harm? That's a mystery. Imagine, Reuben, when he meets his pa, He'll kiss his cheek and holler "oo-la-la!" How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm, After they've seen Paree? |

Subject: RE: WWII songs From: GUEST,Lighter (w/o cookie) Date: 21 Aug 04 - 05:38 PM Hey, big breakthrough in "Bless 'em All" studies! Head for the Library of Congress's "American Memory" page and navigate to Captain Leighton Robinson's performance of a 19th C. music-hall song called "A-Roodle-Tum-Toodle-Tum-Too." With a few strategic alterations, this is unmistakably the melody we now associate with "Bless 'em All." The words, of course, are unrelated. Robinson learned the song on his first voyage to sea -- in 1888. |

Subject: RE: WWII songs From: The Walrus Date: 03 Nov 03 - 07:53 PM Joe_F, The version of the story I'd heard was the escaped lunatic raped a laundry-woman, the headline being 'Nut screws washer and bolts' - Definitely apocryphal I'd say. Guest,O, If your song is pre-WW2, with the references to Begalis,Tamils and Malays, I'd suspect that it's not American. One song my late Father recounted to me, from the WWII period (possibly picked up from GIs - from the 'Pride of New York' reference) was a parody of 'In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree' "In the shade of the old apple tree "Where two lovely white legs I could see "And right at the top "A nice little spot, "I knew it spelled Heaven to me." "So I pulled out the Pride of New York "And it fitted her just like a cork "Then I said "Please don't scream" "As I turned on the cream "'Neath the shade of that old apple tree." Any use? Walrus |

This book is the property of the United States Government and its contents may be used only wiothin the military services. 1941 _______________________________- It is also rubber-stamped as follows: SPECIAL SERVICE OFFICE HQRS., THIRD ARMY.

Older? British? American? Certainly everyone knows it. |
Subject: RE: WWII songs From: Joe_F Date: 21 Oct 03 - 06:25 PM My mother used to sing "Around the Corner" in the 1940s, with some other phrase (maybe "sugar daddy") in place of "gallant soldier". It was an infinite song -- you went straight back from "it was nice" to "around the corner". I suspect it is a good deal older than WW II. A tale in journalistic circles (possibly apocryphal) has it that at the old New York _Graphic_, a story about an escapee from an asylum who committed a rape was barely prevented, by a vigilant editor, from appearing under the headline "Nut Bolts and Screws". Ick. |
Subject: RE: WWII songs From: LadyJean Date: 21 Oct 03 - 12:31 AM From a lady who was a young girl during WWII. "Around the corner, and under a tree, A gallant soldier made love to me. He kissed me once and then he kissed me twice. It wasn't exactly the thing to do, but golly it was nice!" My father said that the unofficial motto of the First Armored division wasn't love 'em and leave 'em, but Screw and Bolt. That was the one and only dirty joke my father ever told me. I thought it shoudl be preserved for posterity. |
