Neon signs a-flashin’, taxi cabs and buses passin’ through the night
A distant moanin’ of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it’s rainin’ all over the world
I feel like it’s rainin’ all over the world

Rainy Night in Georgia; Singer Brook Benton; Writer Tony Joe White

Mairzy doats And dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?

Mairzy Doats; Written by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston

Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed
We vowed our true love, though a word wasn’t said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for the few that were there in your eyes

Anniversary Song;  Composer Ion Ivanovici in 1880
