Lyrics to 1930s songs pt 1
This entry is part 4 of 5 in the series Popular Songs Magazine: October 1935

I wish that I could find more audio recordings to go with these 1930s song lyrics from Popular Songs Magazine: October 1935, but no luck šŸ™ This page of lyrics, in particular, I wonder how the music to them sounded. How quickly that way of life was lost!

THE GIRL IN THE GARDEN

(By Lee David. Jimmy Covanaugh
and John Redmond)

What a lovely picture,
Unfolds itself to me,
Iā€™m looking thru my window,
And what do you think I see:
(Chorus)
Thereā€™s a girl in the garden,
Thereā€™s a boy at the gate,
The boy at the gate,
Wants to get inside,
But the girl in the garden,
Wonā€™t open up the gate,
So the boy at the gateā€™s gotta wait.
The girl in the garden,
Went to pick pretty flowā€™rs,
The boy at the gate,
Waited hours and hours,
ā€˜But the girl in the garden,
Wouldnā€™t open up the gate,
So the boy at the gate had to wait.
A little bluebird came,
And whispered in her ear,
ā€œNow thatā€™s a downright shame,
He loves you so, my dearā€,
The girl in the garden,
Finā€™lly got to the gate,
The boy at the gate,
Took the gate, didnā€™t wait,
Now the boy is sighing,
And the girl is crying,
Cause she got to th ate too late.

IT’S A SIN TO TELL A LIE

(By Billy Mayhew)

You know itā€™s a sin to tell a lie,
Still you keep saying, ā€œI love youā€;
It may be true,
I wish I knew.
But Iā€™m giving fair warning to you:
(Chorus)
Be sure itā€™s true
When you say ā€œI love you,ā€
Itā€™s a sin to tell a lie.
Millions of_ hearts
Have been broken,
Just because these words were
spoken
I love you, yes I do, I love you,
If you break my heart Iā€™ll die.
So be sure itā€™s- true
Nhen you say ā€œI love you,ā€
Itā€™s a sin to tell, a lie.

THE SWING WALTZ

(By Ed East and Lindsay McPhail)

Whatā€™s this I hear?
Whatā€™s this I hear?
Something new?
Canā€™t be true!
Eā€™vā€™ry one you meet,
Says itā€™s all the rage,
Here and there, everywhere,
Itā€™s a new sensation;
Just a funny little waltz,
With a naughty syncopation,
Itā€™s the:
(Chorus)
Swing .1 waltz,
Just a new waltz in blue,
Evā€™ryoneā€™s dancing the Swing waltz,
Thereā€™s romance when we dance,
Rhythm , so entrancing,
Hum the tune as we sway,
Hum your troubles away,

Swing to the new creation,
That captured, enraptured a nation,
The swing waltz,

All the ā€™debs, big celebsā€™ 7
Seem to want to swing time,
Like springtime,
It will lead to romance,
And to-night at the dance,
The swing waltz ā€œwill find you in my
arms.

BLUE ILLUSION

(By B. Musicant, T. Gindharl,
E. P. Lu Freniere) .
(Chorus)
Blue illusion,
Pardon this rude intrusion,
Why did you start,
By thrilling my heart,
In playing the part of love?
Blue illusion,
Why did you bring confusion? i
Why must you stay,
While love tries a way,
To brighten the gray above,
My hopes were high,
My heart couldnā€™t wait, I
That love couldnā€™t die, 1
It seemed my fate! 5
But love went past,
Your spell was fast,
I beg you to depart, j
For youth canā€™t last,

Blue illusion
Why bring a sad conclusion,
Take wings of flight,

Back into the night,
And give me the right to love.

THE SCENE CHANGES

(By Billy Hill)

Planes in the air,

To fly me anywhere,

Ships on the sea,

To carry me away from you,

But no matter where I go, Iā€™m blue:

(Chorus)

The scene changes,

Iā€™m in a park in Paris,

But itā€™s so dark in Paris,

Because Iā€™m away from you.

The scene changes,

Iā€™m in a lane in London,

But there is rain in London,

Because Iā€™m away from you.

Iā€™ve been a fool to run away,

To say that Iā€™ve done away with love,

Althoā€™ the earth should swallow me,

Your face would follow me forever.

The scene changes,

My ship at last is homebound,

Iā€™ll travel fast,

For Iā€™ve found

Iā€™ll alwaysā€ belong to you.
