KING OF THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
(Ruth Batchelor / Bob Roberts)
A poor man wants the oyster
The rich man wants the pearl
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), oh-ho-ho
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
The rich man wants the princess
The poor man just wants a girl
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), oh-ho-ho
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
(Instrumental Break)
A poor man wants to be a rich man
The rich man wants to be a king
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), a-ha-ha
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Come on and sing (Come on and sing)
Sing brother sing (Come on and sing), a-ha-ha
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Of the whole wide world
Of the whole wide world

THIS IS LIVING
(Ben Weisman / Fred Wise)
(This is livin', full of fun and free)
(This is livin', that's the life for me)
(It's good to laugh and sing, don't worry about a thing)
(Wear a happy smile, cut loose and run a mile)
(If you relax and just enjoy it all, life has gotta be a ball)
(This is livin', full of fun and free)
This is livin', that's the life for me
It wouldn't mean a thing (No, no, no)
If I could be a king (No, no, no)
I really wouldn't care (I don't care)
To be a millionaire (Millionaire)
I'd rather find someone to love a lot
Live and give it all I've got
This is livin', full of fun and free
This is livin', that's the life for me
Don't wanna settle down (Don't wanna settle down)
I gotta move around (I gotta move around)
I got a lot of time (I got a lot of time
I'm gonna wait and find (I'm gonna wait and find)
The kinda girl who's heart is restless too
The kind who feels the way I do
This is livin', full of fun and free
This is livin', that's the life for me

RIDING THE RAINBOW
(Ben Weisman / Fred Wise)
I'm ridin' the rainbow, hittin' the highway to happiness
Oh yes, I'm looking to find someone whose meant to be mine
(I'm livin' to love) I'm livin' to love
(And lovin' to live) And lovin' to live
(I've got a heart) I've got a heart
(I'm longing to give) I'm longing to give
(Oh-oh-ooh) I'm riding the rainbow
I'll follow my star to where you are
I'm ridin' the rainbow, headin' for heaven and happiness
I guess somebody somewhere, someday will teach me to care
(But bein' alone) But bein' alone
(Don't bother me) Don't bother me
(I'm free to have fun) I'm free to have fun
(It's fun to be free) It's fun to be free
(I-I-I) I'm riding the rainbow, I'll follow my star
I'm riding the rainbow to where you are

A WHISTLING TUNE
(Sherman Edwards / Hal David)
(Whistling)
Did you ever notice when the sun goes down
Out of nowhere comes a strange and pretty sound
(Whistling)
It's a whistling tune for walking in the night
If you listen you can hear it in the breeze
Specially when the breeze is drifting through the trees
(Whistling)
It's a whistling tune for walking in the night
The murmuring waters sing the song
The echoing mountains hum along
The whispering valleys fill the air
With a whistling tune our hearts can share
It's so wonderful to walk beneath the moon
Listening to old mother nature's favorite tune
(Whistling)
It's a whistling tune for walking in the night
It's a whistling tune for walking in the night

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
(Sherman Edwards / Hal David)
Home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home
I don't need a mansion
On a hill that overlooks the sea
Anywhere you're with me is home
Maybe I'm a rolling stone
Who won't amount to much
But everything that I hold dear
Is close enough to touch
For home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home
Maybe I'm a rolling stone
Who won't amount to much
But everything that I hold dear
Is close enough to touch
For home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home, home, home, home, home

I GOT LUCKY
(Dolores Fuller / Ben Weisman / Fred Wise)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooooo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooooo)
Never found a four leaf clover to bring good luck to me
No rabbit's foot, no lucky star, no magic wishing tree
But I got lucky (I got lucky), yes I got lucky (Lucky when?)
When I found you, ho-ho-ho, yeah!
Got no rainbow around my shoulder, no horseshoe on my door
But I got you to hold me tight and who could ask for more
Oh, I got lucky (I got lucky), yes I got lucky (Lucky when?)
When I found you (When I found you)
I always walk around with all my fingers crossed
I'm afraid the love I found just might get lost
So won't you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day
And then I'll know that my good luck is really here to stay
Oh, I got lucky (I got lucky), yes I got lucky (Lucky when?)
When I found you (I found you)
I always walk around with all my fingers crossed
I'm afraid the love I found just might get lost
So won't you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day
And then I'll know that my good luck is really here to stay
Oh, I got lucky (I got lucky), yes, I got lucky (Lucky when?)
When I found you (I found you)
Oh, I got lucky (I got lucky), yes, I got lucky
When I found you
