V5.5

[Prelude]
([Clock Ticking])
(three o'clock,
It's three o'clock in the morning baby
three o'clock says the clock)

[Verse 1]
It's three o'clock in the morning
We've danced the whole night through
And daylight soon will be dawning
Just one more waltz with you
That melody so entrancing
Seems to made for us two
I could just keep right on dancing
Forever, dear, with you
and this old sweet love tune.

[Clock Ticking]
Sounds like an old sweet love tune
Whisper there soon will be a honeymoon
(H-O-N-E-Y-MOON)

[Clock Ticking]

[ Bell Chimes]
(Bong bong bong!)
There goes the three o'clock chime
Chiming, rhyming
My heart keeps beating in time
(Thumpity thump thump)
Sounds like an old sweet love tune
Whisper there soon will be a honeymoon
Whisper there soon will be a honeymoon

[Whisper] (there soon will be a honeymoon)

[Verse 2]
It's three o'clock in the morning
We've danced the whole night through
(Danced danced danced danced)
And daylight soon will be dawning
Just one more waltz with you
That melody so entrancing (Ooooo)
Seems to made for us two
I could just keep right on dancing
(Forever)
Forever, dear, with you
and this old sweet love tune.
(three o'clock,
It's three o'clock in the morning baby
three o'clock says the clock,)
I could just keep right on dancing
Forever, dear, with you
(Dance dance dance dance dance)

[Clock Ticking]
I could just keep right on dancing
Forever, dear, with you

That was "THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING" From the Broadway Revue "Greenwich Village Follies Of 1921". The lyrics were added later that same year by Dorothy Terriss (a pen name for Theodora Morse). Paul Whiteman’s version of "Three O’Clock in the Morning" in 1922 is one of the most significant of the early 20th century, famously becoming one of the first in history to sell over one million copies, and eventually sold an estimated 3.5 million records and 1 million copies of sheet music. The song is famously referenced in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s "The Great Gatsby", where it is played at one of Gatsby’s parties to evoke the atmosphere of the 1920s.
