Cheerio Cherry Lips Cheerio

Lyric: Mort Dixon
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1928
Original publisher: Remick Music Corp.

Verse 1:

Lips unsmiling,
Lips of rosy hue;
I must leave and you're blue.
Lips beguiling
Just forget to sigh,
"So long" is not "Good-bye."

Chorus:

Cheerio, cherry lips, cheerio,
Won't you give me a smile when I go?
You shouldn't look so blue because
Ev'ryone loves that smile of yours.
Cheerio, when the moon sails along,
In your heart, sing a bright little song;
Someday I'll kiss away your troubles and woe,
Cheerio, cherry lips, cheerio.

Verse 2:

No one fairer
Ever shed a tear,
But don't cry, my own dear.
What is rarer
Than a day in June
When there's a honeymoon?

[Chorus]


Parody lyric ("Cheerios, Apple Jacks, Cheerios"):

Chorus:

Cheerios, Apple Jacks, Cheerios,
Did you know Froot Loops fit in your nose?
I may be just a simple guy,
But just the thought of Corn Flakes makes me high.
Cheerios, Cocoa Puffs, Cheerios,
Makes me want to take off all my clothes;
I love them dearly, and that's how it goes,
Cheerios, Apple Jacks, Cheerios.
