It's also the anniversary of dys' stroke. He and Diane have both been fighters, and I expect that both will become good church goers now.
time watching old new year's celebrations , including one with guy lombardo .
Everybody look at me,
Happy girlie, you will see,
I've got someone nice, oh, gee!
Oh, joy, what bliss!
Just the treasure that I need,
Pure as gold and guaranteed,
Is he handsome? Yes, indeed!
Let me tell you this:
I found a new baby,
A sweet honey boy;
My fashion-plate baby
Has thrilled me with joy!
His new way of lovin'
Has made me his slave;
His sweet turtle dovin'
Is all that I crave!
Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss, can't resist, somehow!
Tells me lies, but he's wise, naughty eyes mesmerize, I vow and how!
I don't mean maybe,
I just had to fall;
I found a new baby,
A new baby, that's all!
I found a new baby,

When they begin
the beguine
it brings back the sound
of music so tender
it brings back a night
of tropical splendor
it brings back a memory of green
I'm with you once more
under the stars
and down by the shore
an orchestras playing
and even the palms
seem to be swaying
when they begin
the beguine
to live it again
is past all endeavor
except when that tune
clutches my heart
and there we are swearing to love forever
and promising never
never to part
a moments divine
what rapture serene
to clouds came along
to disperse the joys we had tasted
and now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean
so dont let them begin the beguine
let the love that was once a fire
remain an ember
let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
when they begin the beguine
oh yes let them begin the beguine
make them play
til the stars that were there before
return above you
till you whisper to me
once more darling I love you
and we suddenly know what heaven we're in
when they begin
the beguine
Silk stockings,
I touch them and find,
The joys that remind me of you . . .
Silk stockings,
That give me again,
Your shy laughter when,
They were new . . .
Silk stockings,
What bliss they recall,
When love promised all,
Forever more . . .
A pair of silk stockings,
So soft and so sheer,
The dear silk stockings you wore!
Silk stockings,
What bliss they recall,
When love promised all,
Forever more!
( A pair of silk . . . )
Silk stockings,
So soft and so sheer,
The dear silk stockings
you wore!

Clear skies to light up for New Year
James Massola
Canberrans should be able to leave their umbrellas at home tonight with the severe storms that lashed the capital last New Year's Eve unlikely to reappear.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast fine and mostly sunny conditions for today and tomorrow, with tops of 32 degrees and 33 degrees respectively.
Clink, clink, another drink
Plenty in the cellar when it's gone.
Drink, drink, the glasses clink
Making tinkly music till the dawn is breaking.
Clang, clang, who cares a dang?
What's the difference when you're on a spree?
Over the teeth, behind the gums,
Look out stomach here she comes
Hi! Have another drink on me.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.
Trinkle, trinkle, trinkle, trinkle.
Slice of cheese and bite of pickle
Doesn't even cost a nickel
Now to wash it down.
Clink, clink, no more to drink
I had a cellar full, but now its gone.
Drink, drink, the glasses clink
Like the anvil chorus and my head is splitting,
uh, brinking, uh, busting. Oh brother!
Oh, ow, what'll I do now
Pink elephants running after me.
Oh, that stuff is smooth as silk
From now on I'll stick to milk.
Nothing else to drink for me.
This is my New Year's resolution:
When my mother-in-law begins to yell and shout
Through the window I would like to throw her out.
But I resolve not to do it, here is why:
I'm afraid of hitting someone passing by.
This is my New Year's resolution.
When I'm at the movies watching a love seen
And a lady's hat is blocking half the screen
I resolve not to shout, "Take off that hat!"
I'll remove it gently with a baseball bat.
This is my New Year's Resolution.
When I take a lovely lady out to eat
And she orders caviar instead of meat
I resolve to let the lady have her fill.
And of course I'll also let her pay the bill.
This is my New Year's Resolution.
When I'm sitting with my wifey on a bus
And a dear old lady stands in front of us
I resolve to be a gentleman discreet.
I'll politely offer her my wifey's seat.
This is my New Year's Resolution.
When my mother says, "Come in, it's time to eat."
And I keep on playing games out in the street
I resolve to rush right home now when I'm called
Cause my pop just got a hairbrush and he's bald.
This is my New Year's Resolution.
On the radio this year I hope to score
With some funny jokes you've never heard before.
I resolve not to tell a corny joke.
Hello, what's that? The church burned down? Holy smoke!
This is my New Year's Resolution.
In this coming year I'm going to be discreet.
Have the Slicker's playing music soft and sweet.
I resolve to treat Tchaikovsky tenderly
And set his second movement with TNT.
This is my New Year's Resolution.
