CHEERIO, CHERRY LIPS, CHEERIO
(Harry Warren / Mort Dixon)


Norman Wallace (aka Scrappy Lambert) - 1928




Lips unsmiling, lips of rosy hue
I must leave, and you're blue
Lips beguiling, just forget to sigh
"So long" is not "Goodbye"

Cheerio, cherry lips, cheerio
Won't you give me a smile when I go
You shouldn't look so blue because
Everyone loves that smile of yours

Cheerio when the Moon sails along
In your heart sing a bright little song
Someday I'll kiss away your troubles and woe
Cheerio, cherry lips, cheerio

(Instrumental Break)

Cheerio, cherry lips, cheerio
Won't you give me a smile when I go
You shouldn't look so blue because
Everyone loves that smile of yours

Cheerio when the Moon sails along
In your heart sing a bright little song
Someday I'll kiss away your troubles and woe
Cheerio, cherry lips, cheerio
