Here's a quite recent recording of Goldie Hill, singing a response to this song:



Lyrics:

(Pa pa pa pia, pa pa pa pia...)

Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t let the moon break your heart!
Love blooms at night,
In daylight it dies,
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t keep your heart from me,
For some day I’ll return,
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love!

Too many nights! (Too many nights!)
Too many stars! (Too many stars!)
Too many moons could change your mind!
(Don’t let the moon change your mind!)

If I’m gone too long,
Don’t forget where you belong,
When the stars come out remember you are mine!

Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t let the moon break your heart!
Love blooms at night,
In daylight it dies,
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t keep your heart from me,
For some day I’ll return,
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love!



(Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
...Don’t let the moon break your heart!)



(Pa pa pa pia, pa pa pa pia...)

Too many miles! (Too many miles!)
Too many days! (Too many days!)
Too many nights to be alone! (Too many nights all alone!)
Oh! please keep your heart, while we are apart,
Don’t you linger in the moonlight when I’m gone! (While I’m gone!)

Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t let the moon break your heart!
(Don’t let the moon break your heart!)
Love blooms at night,
In daylight it dies,
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t keep your heart from me,
For some day I’ll return,
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love!
(I’ll ever love!) I’ll ever love!

You’re the only one! (You’re the only one!)
I’ll ever love!

Billboard Magazine's #1 Single Mar. 3 - Mar. 9



Lyrics:

If they made me a king,
I'd be but a slave to you

If I had everything,
I'd still be a slave to you

If I ruled the night,
Stars and moon so bright,
Still I'd turn for light to you!

If the world to me bowed,
Yet humbly I'd flee to you

If my friends were a crowd,
I'd turn in my need to you

If I ruled the earth,
What would life be worth,
If I hadn't the right to you!

[ Instrumental Break ]

If I ruled the night,
Stars and moon so bright,
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed,
Yet humbly I'd flee to you

If my friends were a crowd,
I'd turn in my need to you

If I ruled the earth,
What would life be worth,
If I hadn't the right
To you!

Billboard Magazine's #1 Single June 3 - June 9



Lyrics:

Hoop-Dee-Doo, Hoop-Dee-Doo
I hear a polka and my troubles are through
Hoop-Dee-Dee, Hoop-Dee-Dee
This kind of music is like heaven to me
Hoop-Dee-Doo, Hoop-Dee-Doo
Has got me higher than a kite
Hand me down my soup and fish, I am gonna get my wish
Hoop-Dee-Doin' it tonight

When there's a trombone playin' I get a thrill, I always will
When there's a concertina stretched about a mile
I always smile 'cause that's my style
When there's a fiddle in the middle oh it really is a riddle how he plays a tune so sweet
Plays a tune so sweet that I could die Lead me to the floor and hear me yell for more
'cause I'm a Hoop-Dee-Doin' kind of guy

(Hoop-Dee-Doo), Hoop-Dee-Doo
(Hoop-Dee-Doo), Hoop-De-Doo
(I hear a polka and my troubles are through)-ha, ha, ha, ha
(Hoop-Dee-Doo), Hoop-Dee-Doo
(Hoop-Dee-Dee) Hoop-De-Dee
(This kind of music is like heaven to me)

Oh, Hoop-Dee-Doo (Hoop-Dee-Doo)
Hoop-Dee-Doo (Hoop-Dee-Doo)
Has got me higher than a kite
Hand me down my soup and fish, I am gonna get my wish
Hoop-Dee-Doin' it tonight

(When there's a trombone playin') (He gets a thrill) I get a thrill, I always will (He always will)
(When there's a concertina) stretched about a mile
I always smile (You'll see him smile) 'cause that's my style (Oh, that's his style)
When there's a fiddle in the middle oh it really is a riddle how he plays a tune so sweet
(Plays a tune so sweet that we could die) Ah, yes lead me to the floor and hear me yell
for more 'cause I'm a Hoop-Dee-Doin' kind of guy

Oh, Hoop-Dee-Doo, Hoop-Dee-Doo
It's got us higher than a kite
They're in clover, we're in bloom, when we're dancin' give us room
Hoop-De-Doin' it with all of our might
Rain may fall and snow may come, nothin's gonna stop us from
Hoop-Dee-Doin' it
Hoop-Dee-Doin' it
Hoop-Dee-Doin' it tonight
