The funny thing is that there are so few lyrics, really. I remember singing this over and over, learned it off the radio. (Didn't learn the part in the middle, though, have no idea what is the tune.) It's a good, memorable tune and lyrics. But there really isn't much to it, is there?

Hey MMario, what a great lyric site!
I've just spent the last half hour going through the list of Christmas songs and finding some goodies, and lots of oldies.
Thanks for that.
Robyn

don't think so...I have Seen the name on a few other lyrics - but my 'Uncle Eddie' was actually named Rademus - so I highly doubt it.

it's not that common a name though.

He also wrote (or co-wrote) 'It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year';'Marching Along together'; 'I Didn't Slip, I Wasn't Pushed, I Fell';'I Ain't Got the Gal'; Riddle De Diddle De Day; Sleep My Baby Sleep ; Wyoming

QUICKSILVER
(Edward Pola / Irving Taylor / George Wyle)

Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters - 1949
Doris Day & The Country Cousins - 1949
Dick Haymes - 1949
Also recorded by: Elton Britt; Dolores Gray.

You're as hard to hold as quicksilver
When you kiss and run away
I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver
All my dreams are led astray

I keep chasing you till I'm facing you
And embracing you with all your charms
Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver
Right into someone else's arms

Seems like I am havin' trouble with you
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
Seems like you're fickle, fickle as can be
And your fickle ways have got me up a tree

You're as hard to hold as quicksilver
When you kiss and run away
I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver
All my dreams are led astray

I keep chasing you till I'm facing you
And embracing you with all your charms
Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver
Right into someone else's arms

Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver
Right into someone else's arms
