Marian, yes it is Well done, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." One of those popular well known Irish songs, that like so many Irish songs have such sweet melody and simple but wonderful lyrics.

So Marian it's your turn.

Well, that's a surprise!

I'm afraid this might take a while everyone, so could someone else slot in please while I get my thinking cap on?

Is it the introduction to a song, or just any verse from a song I have to think of? Sorry I've not been following too closely, as you've probably noticed!

Got one! Hope it's not been used before, I don't think I can look all the way back through twenty pages...

Oh Bill, why can't you behave?
Oh, why can't you behave?
How in hell can you be jealous
When you know baby I'm your slave.....

Hi Marian--I made a list about half way through of songs that had been used, and Harry and Lena updated it recently.

The game is to give a verse for everyone to guess the song.

But it does not matter this time if it is a verse , or another part of the song.

I think there is a song called "Why don't you behave"--but that would be too easy. wouldn't it?

Sorry Marian, it's not that one. Just a little clue, this is another Cole Porter number, and that was the introduction. I'll add a couple of lines from a verse too as I don't want it to be too difficult!

I've been asked to have a meal
By a big tycoon in steel..

Hi Marian--it is coming to me now, with those last lines---I have got the tune in my head ,but the title won't come---hang on---is it

"I'm always true to you darling in my fashion"--is that the title???

Well done Marian, that is the correct answer.

Your turn...

Marian.

Hi all--here's another one----the verse is longer than the song--plus the first 2 lines sometimes differ, but that should not put you off---It is easy!!

How glad a million laddies
From millionaires to caddies
Would be to capture me !
But you had such persitence,
You wore down my resistance :
I fell, and it was swell

You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you, I shall never, never know
It's not that you're attractive
but, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view.

mariana44 · Post by **mariana44** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 1:19 pm

Marian

Hi again Marian

Here's one (bet you'll get it):

The world is lyrical because a miracle
Has brought my lover to me
Though she's some other place
Her face I see
At night I creep in bed, and never sleep in bed
But look above in the air
And to my greatest joy my love is there

mariana44 · Post by **mariana44** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 5:04 pm

Hi Jon---yes of course I know this one---the fabulous "Dancing on the ceiling".

I shall have to sort out another one later on.

Marian
