Lyrics of Whatever Happened to Melody by Ray Jessel
What ever happened to melody
Sweet old fashioned melody
Roses and ribons, Romance and rhyme
Songs about two hearts and
Three what a time
Once there were movies
With stars who were stars
Where, oh where can they be and
Why aren′t they heros
Like yesterdays heros and
Whatever happened to melody
Jim Tunney, Joe Louis
All those were fighters
Not like the pip-squeaks
They palm off today
Hemmingway, Steinbeck
Now those were writers,
With style and
With substance and
Something to say
... Franklin D. Roosevelt
I could go on and on
Babe ruth and
Gershwin and Hoagy
Ah what's the use?
They′re gone
All gone
And whatever happened to melody
Who stood all the poetry
Poses and picnics, walks in the wood
Hammocks and hay rides
Are they gone for good?
Whatever happened to just holding hands
Beneath the old apple tree
Gone is the magic
And Speaking of magic
Whatever Happened to you and me
Writer(s): Ray Jessel, Cynthia Thompson
