Happy new year! Let's continue our popular series of decade lyrics quizzes featuring songs people actually know. This time we'll focus on the 1920s. Since these songs might not be as well known as the later decades, I've made the quiz extra easy. Some of the lyrics quoted include the title. This contest closes January 26. Good luck! 1. The skies above are clear again! Let us sing a song of cheer again! 2. Fish gotta to swim and birds gotta fly. I've gotta love one man till I die. 3. Some others I've seen might never be mean, might never be cross, try to be boss, but they wouldn't do. For nobody else gave me a thrill, with all your faults, I love you still. 4. All alone, I'm so all alone. There is no one else but you. All alone, by the telephone, waiting for a ring, a ting-a-ling. 5. That toddlin' town. The town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down. On State Street, that great street, I just wanna say, they do things they don't do on Broadway. 6. I'd give the world to be among the folks in D-I-X-I even now my mammy's waitin' for me, prayin' for me down by the Swanee. 7. I'll be with you to change your name to mine. 8. I'm wearing second hand hats, second hand hose. 9. You had your way, now you must pay. I'm glad that you're sorry now. 10. Never saw the sun shining so bright, never saw things going so right. Noticing the days hurrying by, when you're in love, my, how they fly. 11. The sky is the only roof I have over my head. And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed. I'm just singin' a song to the trees 12. Where you go with me, heaven will always be. 13. Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorway and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again? 14. I found my love in Avalon beside the bay. I left my heart in Avalon and sailed away. I dream of her and Avalon from dusk til dawn, and so I think I'll travel on to Avalon. 15. So if it's raining, have no regrets, because it isn't raining rain, you know, it's raining violets. 16. We'll bathe at Brighton, the fish you'll frighten when you're in. Your bathing suit so thin will make the shellfish grin fin to fin. 17. They heard the breeze through the trees singing weird melodies and they named that sound the start of the blues. 18. The moon belongs to everyone. The best things in life are free. The stars belong to everyone. They shine there for you and me. 19. You and me, we sweat and strain, bodies all aching and wracked with pain. "Tote dat barge. Lift dat bale." Get a little drunk and you land in jail. 20. The world will pardon my mush, cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you. 21. I behold your adorable face. Just a song at the start, but it soon is a hymn to your grace. But I always knew I would live life through with a song in my heart for you. 22. The day would never end. When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend 23. If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where Harlem sits? 24. My baby loves me. Don't know nobody as happy as we. She's only twenty and I'm twenty-one. But we don't worry, we're just having fun. 25. No one to talk with, all by myself. No one to walk with, so I'm sitting on a shelf. 26. Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it. The very best upper sets do it. Lithuanians and Letts do it. Folks in Siam do it. Think of Siamese twins. 27. Thou chic! Thou grand! 28. I'm in heaven when I see you smile, smile for me, my Diane. 29. There's a somebody I'm longing to see. I hope that he turns out to be someone who'll watch over me. 30. When I'm alone with only dreams of you that won't come true, what'll I do? 31. I won't be happy till I make you happy too. Life's really worth living when we are mirth-giving. Why can't I give some to you? 32. Somehow they'd rather be kissed to the strains of Chopin and Liszt. A melody mellow played on a cello helps Mr. Cupid along, so say it with a beautiful song. 33. A heart full of joy and gladness will always banish sorrow and strife, so always look for the silver lining and try to find the sunny side of life. 34. Any time you're feeling lonely, any time you're feeling blue, any time you feel downhearted, that'll prove my love for you is true. 35. I'm all aquiver. Why can't I be the man I want to be? 36. When it's twelve o'clock, we climb the stairs. We never knock, 'cause nobody's there. 37. Where bowers of flowers bloom in the sun. Each morning at dawning, birdies sing and everything.

One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain. Third is the roses that bloom in the rain. No need explaining the one remaining is somebody I adore. 42. Though not a single word was spoken, I could tell you knew. That unfelt clasp of hands told me so well you knew. I never lived at all until the thrill of that moment when my heart stood 43. 'S Marvelous! You should care for me. 'S Awful Nice! 'S Paradise. 'S one I long to see! 44. Up on your heels, down on your toes. 45. When there are grey skies, I don't mind the grey skies. You make them blue. 46. Hide the side that gets blue. If you have nine sons in a row, baseball teams make money, you know. 47. She's got eyes of blue.
