Main Title

Newsreel

I Could Love a Million Girls
(Words by Edgar Allan Woolf. Music by Cass M. Freebo)
(Arranged by Randy Newman)
(Performed by Donald O’Connor)
Lyrics

I’ve heard them say so often they could love their wives alone,
But I think that’s just foolish: men must have hearts made of stone
Now my heart is made of softer stuff: it melts at each warm glance
A pretty girl can’t look my way without a new romance

Oh!

I could love a million girls and every girl a twin
I could love a chinese girl an eskimo or finn
I could love a german girl a girl with golden curls
In fact I think that I could love about a million girls

I Loved a girl whose eyes shone forth just like a crystal mask
I loved her till I found out that her eye was made of glass
I loved a girl whose form it was a gorgeous thing to see
I loved her till I found out that part of it was a tree

Oh!

He could love a million girls a million girls could he
He could love a native girl from far accross the sea
He could love a million girls a girl with baby curls
In fact I think that he could love about a million girls

Change Your Way
Lyrics

Where you going
With your shoes undone
Throwing rocks
Making fun of everyone
Little man
You’ll make a big mistake
Unless you change your way

Staying out late
Every night
Chasing after streetcars
And getting into fights
Yeah
Son you’re bound
To break your mama’s heart
Unless you change your way

All the teachers
At the school there
They know you well
‘Cause you’re always
The worst one
You’re always playing the fool
I can tell
What’s the matter with you little guy

Don’t you know
Take my advice
Before you do
Something bad you’d better
Think about it twice
You’re sure to end up on the shady side
Unless you change
Your
Way
