COME FLY WITH ME
Words by Sammy Cahn
Music by Jimmy Van Heusen

Come fly with me, come fly, let’s fly away
If you can use an exotic cruise
There’s a ship in far Bombay
Come fly with me, come fly, let’s fly away

Come Fly with me let’s float down to Peru
In llama land there’s a one man band
And he’ll toot his flute for you
Come Fly with me, let’s take off in the blue

Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We’ll just glide
Starry eyed

Once I get you up there
I’ll be holding you so near
You might hear
Angels cheer just because we’re together

Weather wise, it’s such a lovely day
Just say those words, we’ll fly those birds
Down to Acapulco Bay

It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, come fly, let’s fly away

Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away
If you can use an exotic cruise
There’s a ship in far Bombay
Come fly with me, come fly, let’s fly away

Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We’ll glide
starry-eyed

Once I get you up there
I’ll be holding you so near
You might hear
Angels cheer just because we’re together

Weather-wise, it’s such a lovely day
Just say those words, we’ll fly those birds
Down to Acapulco Bay

It’s perfect for a flying honeymoon they say
Come with me, come fly, let’s fly

Let’s fly away

EMILY’S NOTES

• I especially love contributing to the Sing Books repertoire with songs that offer kids more than just a song to sing. Though, I will place a caveat on the previous remark so as to not disparage “just” singing songs. Singing songs with kids is a remarkably educating, rewarding, and enriching activity. Whole fields of study are based on documenting and evangelizing the benefits of singing songs with children. But some songs, like this one, offer EVEN MORE. In the case of COME FLY WITH ME, you get a swinging classic from the American Song Book. This song also offers some delightful vocabulary to explore (exotic, starry-eyed, float). Plus, geography-wise, we get to sing about three far off places that many of the children may never have hear of before: Bombay, Peru, and Acapulco Bay.  I was excited to assemble illustrations for this song, finding pictures that would authentically represent those places and to include maps, so kids can begin to appreciate where these places are on the blog (especially in comparison to where THEY live).

IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON
Words by Yip Harburg and Billy Rose
Music by Harold Arlen 

Say, it’s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me

Yes, it’s only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me

Without your love
It’s a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It’s a melody played in a penny arcade

It’s a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me

Destination Moon
Words by Roy Alfred
Music by Marvin Fisher
Illustrated with Edited Vintage Greeting Card Images

**********************

Writing this in February 2023, my friend Cindy recently said, “Do you know the song DESTINATION MOON?” I did not know the song. It’s a Nat King Cole song, she said. We listened to a YouTube of it. She happened to have a copy of the sheet music and gave it to me.  I instantly wanted it for Sing Books.  I even had a few vintage space themed greeting cards I’d not used yet that would be perfect to illustrate the lyrics.  But I knew more would be needed for the project. I absolutely love going on the hunt for vintage greeting cards to illustrate lyrics.  I also hunted for a backing track, which did exist, exactly to match Nat King Cole’s big band sound for the song. Thus, the fun ensued in putting the puzzle together. And now we have it.

DESTINATION MOON
Words by Roy Alfred
Music by Marvin Fisher

Come and take a trip in my rocket ship
We’ll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly
Destination moon

Travel fast as light ’til we’re lost from sight
The earth is like a toy balloon
What a thrill you get ridin’ on a jet
Destination moon

We’ll go up up up up
Straight to the moon we two
High in the starry blue
I’ll be out of this world with you

So away we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let’s go!
Destination moon

Come and take a trip in my rocket ship
We’ll have a lovely afternoon
Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly
Destination moon

Travel fast as light ’til we’re lost from sight
The earth is like a toy balloon
What a thrill you get ridin’ on a jet
Destination moon

There once was a time when the colorful thing to do
Was to call for a date on a bicycle built for two
But cars and trains and even planes
All have had their day
Now the time is due to call for you
In the modern atomic way

We’ll go up up up up
Straight to the moon we two
High in the starry blue
I’ll be out of this world with you

So away we steal in a space mobile
A supersonic honeymoon
Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let’s go!

MOON
The moon in Singable Picture Books
https://singbookswithemily.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/the-moon-in-singable-picture-books/

On 2/12/2023, I got to introduce the show VALENTINE’S DAZE (a Hallmark Movie…or not). It was sponsored by DC Cabaret Network and performed at Crazy Aunt Helen’s. It was Directed by Cindy Hutchins with Music Direction by Howard Breitbart.

I said a few lines of Puck’s MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM at the end of the introduction and as patter for my first medley (with my own ukulele arrangements) of the songs MOON RIVER and BETTER PLACE:

Shall we [this] fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be.

This post is for gathering research and celebrations to help me love, remember, embody, and discover (yes, within myself, too) the character of Puck. This research also helped me develop a little costume for the purpose.

*

Picture of the outfit, at the very end of MOON/BETTER medley, after the intro at the end of which I removed red top hat and Puck’s portfolio, and, at the end of the medley, after I turned the uke around to my back to sing the second section of MOON RIVER with just the amazing Howard Breitbart playing piano to accompany the rest of the song.

**********************
NOTES/THOUGHTS/INFO

*
As long as I can remember, I have loved MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM and the character of Puck in particular.

*
When I moved to New York City in 1992, I spent a lot of time just walking around and looking at things. I really didn’t know a lot about the city, so everything was an exciting adventure.  When I stumbled upon the Puck Building at the meeting of two of my favorite streets, Lafayette and Houston, I thought maybe I’d happened on accident into Wonderland!

FROM WIKI:
The Puck Building built in 1885–1888 in Nolita, New York City, features two naked statues of Puck by sculptor Henry Baerer.^[29][30] The building is named after and housed the 19th-century humor magazine Puck. The magazine was named after the character, and used a depiction and a quote of him as a logotype.^[31]

FROM WIKI:

*
An article about THE PUCK BUILDING and PUCK BUILDING PUCK SCULPTURE (by
https://driehausmuseum.org/blog/view/new-yorks-historic-puck-building

The Puck of Puck magazine isn’t exactly Bacchus from ancient myth. Nor does he really resemble the “knurly limed, faun faced, and shock-pated” creature from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Rather, he looks like cherub dressed as up a Gilded Age dandy—complete with a top hat and frock coat. The coat is left wide open to expose his chubby nude figure, and in his hands he holds the keys to Puck’s reign of American humor: a fountain pen and a hand mirror.

This is how Puck appeared in Puck magazine. This is also how he appears on the Puck Building exterior in New York City. Two gilded statues of this mischievous character still stand sentry outside the historic building, where, from 1887 to 1916, Puckturned out page after satirical page.

…

The Puck team advertised their arrival in the neighborhood with typical tongue in cheek, topping off the building with statues of their mascot, larger than life and gleaming with gold leaf. Sculpted by Henry Baerer, the German-born artist known for his stern-faced bust of Beethoven in New York’s Central Park, the largest Puck statue stands above the building’s main entrance on Houston and Mulberry Street. (Another, smaller Puck is stationed above the Lafayette entrance.) The chubby sprite holds a hand mirror—the better to reflect society’s follies with—as well as a fountain pen. At his side hangs a book inscribed with his character’s jest in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, “What fools these Mortals be!”

PICTURES FROM GOOGLE SEARCH

These pictures are very helpful as they show the kind of outfit I want to wear for the few lines. I already have the perfect red top hat.  I need to find a costume tailcoat.

This one I’m particularly interested in the portfolio he has slung over his shoulder that says “What fools these mortals be,” which is one of the few lines that I’m going to say.

SHAKESPERE’S SONNET 130

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun,
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treds on the ground.
     And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
     As any she belied with false compare.

**********************
NOTES/THOUGHTS

*
1/11/2023: It’s very important for me, at the outset, to thank my dearest pal Susie Amos for helping me think through this sonnet.  She gave me advice on the use of punctuation, supporting materials, thoughts on meanings (and multiple meanings at that) and all around making something that can seem complicated and daunting into something really fun and wonderful.

*
1/11/2023: Beginning to assemble these materials, I’m proud that I wrote out the sonnet above from memory (all except for the punctuation at the end of lines, which I will go back and add in later).

*
1/11/2023: I’m learning this to have it on my head and use for all sorts of things. But I’m learning this initially to use in as part of a YOU GOTTA HAVE HEART.  I’m planning to sing YOU GOTTA HAVE HEART for a Valentine’s Day theme cabaret show.  I was looking over the song and when I got to the section that says:

A great slugger, we haven’t got
A great pitcher, we haven’t got
A great ball club, we haven’t got

It occurred to me that talking about all the things that the ball club hasn’t got (even though the ball club has what REALLY matters, which is HEART) is a lot like MY MISTRESS’ EYES ARE NOTHING LIKE THE SUN. And since this is a Valentine show and MY MISTRESS’ EYES ARE NOTHING LIKE THE SUN is a love sonnet, it would be fun to include it in the song, replacing that section of the song (that everybody knows anyway).  

My plan is to stop the song and address it directly and say to pianist that I was thinking this next section talking about everything the ball club doesn’t have reminds me of the sonnet 130 in which the speaker says everything the mistress isn’t (even though in both cases, the ball club and the mistress, have what really matters) and could I please have some Elizabethan underscore while I recite this Sonnet 130.

Then, after saying, “And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare,” I’ll say “CUT WHAT HAS SHE GOT? SHE’S GOT HEART…”

*
Shakespeare is making fun of unreasonable comparisons. My love is an actual living breathing human being and that is why I love her. I don’t need her to be all that bullshit to which others want to compare the high flatfootin’, overblown, cliché, unrealistic concepts of what beauty is or is not.

*
This is one big “You think you’re so fancy.

Satire. Making Fun. Parody.

YOU’RE A MEAN ONE MR. GRINCH
Words by Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel)
Music by Albert Hague
From the 1966 Animated Film
Famously Performed by Thurl Ravenscroft

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel
You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch

You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart’s an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders
You’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch

I wouldn’t touch you with a 39 and a half foot pole!

You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch

Given a choice between the two of you I’d take the seasick crocodile!

You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You’re a nasty wasty skunk
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch

The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote
“Stink, stank, stunk!”

You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You’re the king of sinful sots
Your heart’s a dead tomato
Splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch

Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish
Imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super “naus”!
You’re a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch

You’re a three decker sauerkraut and
Toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

TWINKLE LITTLE ME
Words and Music by Roland Miller
Adapted by ELEG for SBWE

Twinkle Twinkle Little Me
I Have A LOVELY LIGHT
I’m The Star up in the sky
That’s glimmering so bright

Twinkle Twinkle Little me
I left the milky way
Just so I could COME AND be
With you on this special day

ANGELS brought me where you are
And heaven gave me LIGHT
I’m that friendly little star
You wish upon each night

***Twinkle twinkle little star
***How I wonder what you are
***Up above the world so high
***Like a diamond in the sky
***Twinkle twinkle little star
***How I wonder what you are

Twinkle twinkle little me
I have a present too
If you give unshelfishly
And make a wish come true
I’ll always shine for you

**********************
I’m writing this on 12/29/2022.  Just before Christmas this year, my friend Bart sent me a video when he sang a song with the Gay Men’s Chorus of Chicago in their holiday show 13 years ago. He walks on stage holding a star on top of a pole behind him so that the star rises over his head.  As he stands there, he looks a little like a Christmas Tree. He starts singing one of the sweetest, most charming songs!  A verse later, two other singing join him, also with stars.  They sing and have some choreography. I was enchanted. I asked Bart about the song and he said it was an old Motown song! How could I have never heard it before? Why doesn’t everyone sing this song?  It’s so wonderful!

I’m thinking constantly of WHEN I HEARD THE LEARN’D ASTRONOMER and look forward to singing these songs together.

**********************
This is SING BOOKS WITH EMILY after all, so after falling in love with the song, I went looking and searching for pictures illustrate the lyrics and make a book to sing.

There are a lot of star related illustrations and paintings and art, but I did want the pictures themselves to “speak the same language,” as in for them to have a common thread. I found a few sources for pictures and information that are free online.

*
ASTRONOMY FOR AMATEURS
I stumbled upon a book called ASTRONOMY FOR AMATEURS by Camille Flammarian, written in the early 20th century. It’s so fun with someone’s name fits something about them. Like the last name Flammarian for someone who studies stars.  It’s perfect.

I just love the picture plates that illustrate this book and will use some of them for the lyrics to TWINKLE LITTLE ME. I also look forward to reading the book and learning some more about the stars we see in the sky at night.

https://archive.org/details/astronomyforamat00flam/page/n9/mode/1up?view=theater

Because ASTRONOMY FOR AMATEURS has been around for so long, it is in the public domain and available to read online for free. See the link above.

**********************

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT HAT
Words and Music by Joseph J. Sullivan

If I go to the opera house in the opera season
There’s someone sure to shout at me without the slightest reason
If I go to the concert hall to have a jolly spree
There’s someone in the party who is sure to shout at me:

“Where did you get that hat? Where did you get that tile?
Isn’t it a nobby one and just the proper style?
I would like to have one just the same as that!”

Where e’re I go, they shout, “Hello! Where did you get that hat?”

**********************

*
There are additional verses, but for singing with kids, I will just sing the second verse and repeat the chorus twice.

*
This song is from the 19th c. British Music Hall tradition.

*
Nob (noun) British informal word for a fancy person (of wealth or high social position). Nobby is the adjective form of Nob, having to do with something that’s fancy (or worthy of a person of wealth or high social position).

*
Tile is a 19th century slang for Hat (like the tiles on a roof, a hat covers your head)

Process! Kinda in this order:

• Research the song
• Find the sheet music
• Figure out the right key/arrangement (lyrics and music)
• Find an existing sing along if possible (there was one this time!)
• If no existing sing along, commission one for your arrangement
• Think of an angle for illustrating it
• Find/collect the images
• Edit the images
• Create a PowerPoint
• Assemble Lyrics and Pictures
• Edit the existing sing along
• Burn a CD
• Print the pages
• Bind the Book
• Assemble the book with any accessories
