All's Well

Two pages of song lyrics. I did a bit of looking around online and couldn't find a strict match, may have been an amateur composition.

All's Well That Ends Well

All's well that ends well
And I for one believe it's true
All my life I've been waiting
Just to find you
Each Prince Charming asks her his bride to be
She blushingly said, "Could you marry me."
Wondrous love to us has come
Our happiness is complete

It's been worth while
Searching all my life
To find you
Just across the street


(Remember) Broken Doll
When you and I were a boy & girl
I broke your doll one day
Then with a quick regret
Begged that you'd forget
And wipe your tears away
Your just a little butterfly - I understand it after all

You made me care
Do you think it's fair
A heart for a broken doll -

Found in "Elson's Music Dictionary" by Louis C. Elson. Published by Oliver Ditson Co., 1905

Babydoll

Bottom half of a page of handwritten lyrics - I'm not really sure where the corrections in pencil go, so I'll do my best.

Since the day I went away Babydoll
I though of you, my heart away
My lips, my soul, my everything
"do be" yours
But if you "do be" forgettin' me I will
throw myself into the bay
Cause only you "do be" my
Babydoll

Honolulu Baby

Lyrics (or instructions, if you prefer) for a square dance, probably called "Honolulu Baby."

(Chorus)
Allemand the left,
With the lady on your left
Grand right and left
with your lady,
Swing her when you meet _ _ _
Promenade your Honolulu Baby

First couple right,
Circle four hand round,
Change, swing the one you love truly,
Leave her alone,
go back where you belong
Swing with your
Honolulu Baby -

Lead to the next -

Repeat chorus and on to next couple and etc. until all couples have had their turn

Dancing In The Streets

Lyrics or short poem:

Some day I'll be dancing, just dancing round and round.

In that disco with the musical sound, and that dream that I wished, would always come true.

Just faded away in the clear just disappear blue. 

Found in "When The Stars Come Out" by Robert Baker. Published by the Junior Literary Guild and The Viking Press, 1934.

Daddy Said

Poem (could be lyrics):

Daddy said that I might tell you,
Just what he told to me.
But he said I must be careful
Just as careful as could be.

First of all he called him Santa,
Said he's jolly round and fat
Wears a bright red leather waistcoat,
And a big white fuzzy hat.

And Daddy said that he could tell
If all the long year through,
You have been a good or naughty child
Or faithful, kind and true.

Not sure what to make of all this. Found these two sheets of paper, the first page has a list of names, some crossed out in red pencil, some checked off. At the top is a bold red "Bad."

The rest of the text is a typed copy of "The Star Spangled Banner," with some handwritten lines added at the end.

Breakaway

Song lyrics in pencil, bottom right corner missing.

Breakaway
Let's do the breakaway
Get hot and shake away
It's got the snappiest

Three times upon

You get the snappiest
little sensation

Write a little no upon
