What bleedin' time do you call this? - Blimey. I'm coming, Dad, I'm coming. See you, kid. Look what he's bought me. It's Chanel No.5. I know Isn't that dead romantic? Before you are joined in matrimony, I have to remind both of you of the solemn and binding character of the vows you are about to make. This marriage is the union of one man with one woman freely entered into, for life, to the exclusion of all others. In you come, Maisie. Smile Oh, oh Oh, what a gal There's none so classy As my fair lassie Oh, oh Oh, holy Moses, what a chassis She went riding She didn't fall From the country I was the one who had to walk If you knew Susie like I know Susie Oh, oh what a gal! My Yiddisher momma... I, eh! No. Order now. ...I miss her more than ever now... - Order... Go on, Maisie. Go on. My Yiddisher momma I long to kiss her wrinkled brow I long to hold her hand As I did in days gone by And say I'm sorry For everything that made you cry How few were her pleasures She never cared... I want me dad. I want me dad! In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan Earth stood hard as iron Water like a stone Snow had fallen, snow on snow Snow on snow In the bleak midwinter Long Ago Our God, heaven cannot hold Him Nor earth sustain Heaven and earth shall flee away When He comes to reign In the bleak midwinter A stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ... Say good night to your dad, kids. Good night, dad. Good night, kids. What can I give him Woeful as I am? If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb If I were a wise man God bless, kids. I would do my part Yet what can I give him? Give My heart Give My heart Nellie! Clean it up! Play Limelight, Scouse That's it, Scouse. Give us a tune. - It was Schmeling, Scouse. - You're wrong.

And then Joe Louis, who held that title till... 1948 from 1937. Come on, Scouse.

The water is wide I cannot get o'er And neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat That will carry two Then both shall row My love and I Oh, down in the meadows, the other day A gathering flowers, both fine and gay A gathering flowers, both red and blue I little thought What love can do I leaned my back up against some oak Thinking that it was a trusty tree But first it bended and then it broke And so did my false love to me A ship there is and she sails the sea She's loaded deep, as deep can be But not so deep As the love I'm in I know not if I sink or swim O, love is handsome And love is fine And love's a jewel While it is new But when it is old It groweth cold Then fades away Like morning dew |
