Perry Como Lyrics

    ------ About the song ( The ) Whiffenpoof Song performed by Perry Como

The chorus is taken nearly verbatim from Kipling's poem "Gentlemen-Rankers", changed to "gentleman songsters" in the Song; and Kipling wrote "Damned from here to eternity" changed to "Doomed..." in the Song. This all happened well before Rhett told Scarlett that he didn't give a damn.

    ------ About the song Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba ( My Bambino Go to Sleep ) performed by Perry Como

I happened upon this while talking to my daughter about this song, originally sung by my mother to me and my twin brother. Both of us sang it to our children and it has now been passed down to our grandchildren. None of us ever knew it was a real song that anyone had recorded!

    ------ About the song Somebody Up There Likes Me performed by Perry Como

While I was watching TV earlier (this late afternoon), the 1956 movie "Somebody Up There Likes Me" came on and--surprise of surprises!--the opening title and credits were accompanied by the song being sung by Perry Como, who had been my dear grandmother's favorite singer, and mine as well. All these years (since I was about ten years old!) I had not remembered that the credits of the movie were accompanied by the song! I was delighted beyond words, because it brought back memories not only of my granny, but also of my mother, who had taken me to see the movie. So, now, out of curiosity, I decided to see if I could find the lyrics, and--Thank God!--I did. A wonderful song that marks a piece of my personal history!!!!!

    ------ About the song Twilight On the Trail performed by Perry Como

While eating breakfast at our Senior Residence this morning, a beautiful lady at our table, when requested to "sing to us", started on this wonderful number - but none of us could remember who made it popular - and/or who wrote it. PERRY COMO WAS NOT AMONG OUR GUESSES! But was very revealing when I saw his name pop up! ! ! Thank youPerry for such a wonderful masterpiece of music!

    ------ About the song There Is No Christmas Like A Home Christmas performed by Perry Como

This heart warming song makes me cry remembering the loving days when we were young (my family) and we were all together in one roof. Nowadays from Atlantic to Pacific we still call and see each other once a year

    ------ About the song Goodnight, Sweet Jesus performed by Perry Como

My Mom and I used to go to Friday night novenas at St.Jerome's Church in Cleveland, Ohio, and I remember my Mom's beautiful voice singing this. How I wish I had those days back again. She's now in heaven with the One she was singing to!
Lucky her!
