Old songs are the bestest

[beandelphiki]

I was watching a Shirley Temple movie today. Poor Little Rich Girl. I love Shirley Temple movies. If you can get beyond, say, the racism. Old movies are somewhat horrifying that way. It's hard, sometimes, to remind yourself not to take a movie to task too hard for being made in the 40s/50s. It's not the movie's fault. *pets*

And old movies - especially musicals - have such charm.

Anyway. I love this movie. And I love this song from it the most:



When I'm With You

Every street I walk on
Becomes a lover's lane
When I'm with you
I can see the sun
Though we're out in the rain
When I'm with you

To lose you would be tragic
Here is my heart unfurled
You have that certain magic
You're the seven wonders of the world

Snow is on the ground
But the leaves are on the trees
When I'm with you
Flowers sing a love song
There's music in the breeze
When I'm with you, mmm mmm

Please let me make this confession
You are my magnificent obsession
The world is all in rhyme
Lovely one when I'm with you.

The Good Ship Lollipop

I've thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train.
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes.
Some day I'm going to fly.
I'll be a pilot too.
And when I do, how would you
Like to be my crew...

On the good ship lollipop.
Its a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay.

Lemonade stands everywhere.
Crackerjack bands fill the air.
And there you are
Happy landing on a chocolate bar.

See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll
With the big bad devils food cake.
If you eat too much ooh ooh
You'll awake with a tummy ache.

On the good ship lollipop
Its a night trip into bed you hop
And dream away
On the good ship lollipop.

My partner does a fantastic redition of this (under the guise of Miss Formeldahyde, AKA 'Shirley Trample') that tends to, well, bring the house down.
