Hits Medley
Splish Splash/Beyond The Sea/Artificial Flowers/Clementine
Splish Splash
Splish, splash
I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night... yeah!
Rub-a-dub
Just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was all right.
Well... I stepped out the tub
Put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me
And I opened the door.
And... then-a... splish, splash
I jumped back in the bath
Well... how was I to know
There was a party going on.
They was a splishin' and a splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Moving and a groovin'
Rockin' and a rollin'... yeah!
Bing, bang
I saw the whole gang
Dancin' on my living room rug... yeah...
Flip flop
They was doin' the bop
All the teens had the dancin' bug.
There was Lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good Golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too!
A-well-a.... splish, splash
I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin' shoes on... yea!
I was a rollin' and a strollin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a groovin'
Splishin' and a splashin'... yeah!
Yes... I was a splishin' and a splashin'
I was a rollin' and a strollin'
Yeah... I was a movin' and a groovin' ... woo!
We was a reelin' with the feelin'... ha!
We was a rollin' and a strollin'
Movin' with the groovin'
Splish, splash... yeah!
I was a splishin' and a splashin'... one time...
I was a splishin' and a splashin'... woo-woo!
I was a movin' and a-groovin'...

Beyond The Sea
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye, bye sailing...

Artificial Flowers
Alone in the world
Was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find.
Her parents had gone
To their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind.
Did ya hear?
This ... poor little child
Was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away.
Still she brav-el-y worked
At the one thing she knew
To earn her few pennies a day.
She made artificial flowers
Artificial flowers

Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear.
She made artificial flowers
Ya know ... those artificial flowers
Fashioned from Annie's despair.
With paper and shears
With some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum.
As snowflakes drifted
Into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb.
From makin' artificial flowers
Those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
She made artificial flowers
Artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair.
They found little Annie
All covered with ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears.
Amidst all the blossoms
She had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears.
There must be a heaven
Where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
And instea-a-ad of a halo
She'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers.
No more artificial flowers
Throw away those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.
Throw away those artificial flowers
Those dumb-dumb flowers ...
Fashioned from Annie's ...
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's des-pa-a-a-air.
Give her the real thing!

Clementine
In a cavern
Down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner
From North Carolina
And... his daughter
Chubby Clementine.
Now, every mornin'
Yeah... just about dawnin'
When the sun
Began to shine
You know she would rouse up
Wake all-a-dem cows up
And... walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.
I took the footbridge
Way 'cross the water
Though she weighed
Two ninety-nine
The old bridge trembled
And disassembled... oops!
Dumped her into the foamy brine.
Hey... crack like thunder... hut, hut...
You know she went under... hut, hut...
Blowin' bubbles down the line
Hey! I'm no swimm'a
But were she slimm'a
I might'a saved
That Clementine.
Ho... she broke the record
Way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous
Not until the service
That they held
For Clementine.
Hey... you sailor... hut, hut...
Way out in your whaler
A-with your harpoon an' your trusty line
If she shows now,yell......
A-there she blows now!
It just may be
Chunky, Clementine.
One more time!
Oh, my darlin'... oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin' ... oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin'... sweet Clementine
You may be gone... but...
You're not forgotten
Fare thee well...
So long...
Clementine...
Bye!
