HURRY! HURRY! HURRY! (BACK TO ME)


(Don Reid (m & l) ) 1949


As sung by the Andrews Sisters 
(with Vic Schoen and His Orchestra) 1949


Also recorded by Don Reid


Hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry! back to me

When I'm all alone, I'm lonely as can be

All I do is think about you constantly

So darling, hurry! hurry! hurry!, back to me.


When we say good night I'm in such misery

Maybe it's because I like your company

Maybe it's because I love you possibly

So darling, hurry! hurry! hurry!, back to me.


You kiss my lips, and start a fire

I think I'm melting in your arms

We kiss again, the flame goes higher

Then I'm up in heaven, you're so charming.


Hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry! back to me

Every night without you is eternity

If you want to know how happy you can be

Then darling, hurry! hurry! hurry!, back to me.


Don't stay away so long

Darling, how I yearn

I sing this little song

Hoping you'll return dear.

Hurry! hurry!, hurry! hurry! hurry!, back to me

When I'm all alone, I'm lonely as can be

All I do is think about you constantly

So darling, hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry!, back to me.

Hurry! hurry!, hurry, back.


You kiss my lips, and start a fire

I think I'm melting (I'm melting) in your arms

We kiss again, the flame goes higher

Then I'm up in heaven, you're so charmin'.


Hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry! back to me

Every night without you is eternity

If you want to know how happy you can be

Then darling, hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry!,

Hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry!

Hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry! hurry! back to me.


Notes:


The three Andrews Sisters (LaVerne, Maxene and Patty) started their

careers during the 1930s, as a close harmony singing group and as

imitators, at least to some degree, of the Boswell Sisters (The

Bozzies). They were born in Mound, Minnesota USA. Interestingly, the

three girls had different vocal ranges, perhaps a bit unusual

considering the fact that they were all born within 7 years of each

other (soprano, mezzo and contralto). The Sisters were known for their

outstanding support of the allied troops during WWII, working onsite as

well as recording on V-Discs. They performed over the radio and made

numerous personal appearances on TV as well as many charitable

functions. They cut over 700 songs, selling over 90 million records.

Some of these were recorded with Bing Crosby (approximately 45). The

Crosby/Andrews foursome had many hit records together, perhaps one of

the best known being DON'T FENCE ME IN. The Sisters also were

recognized for standards such as 

I'LL BE WITH YOU IN APPLE BLOSSOM TIME

and I CAN DREAM, CAN'T I?. 

This recording appeared as the A side of a 10 inch 78 rpm single, the B

side being I DIDN'T KNOW THE GUN WAS LOADED
