THE VAUGHN MONROE ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS CONDUCTED BY GENE HAMMETT. FROM THE CBS TV 'VAUGHN MONROE SHOW' SERIES.
VOCAL BY VAUGHN MONROE (VM) AND CHORUS (CH)
(VM) A STRANGER IN THE CITY
HE WALKS AROUND THE CITY
NO ONE WOULD MEET HIM
NO ONE WOULD GREET HIM
EVERYONE WAS BUSY RUSHING ROUND.

AND THEN HE HEARD THE LAUGHTER
OF THE LITTLE CHILDREN
THEY RECEIVED HIM
THEY BELIEVED HIM
OF THE BUSY THINGS HE HEARD AROUND

THE JOY OF A FRIEND WHEN YOU'RE LONELY
THE SONG OF A BIRD UP ABOVE
YOU'D NEED NEVER BE LONELY
IF YOU ONLY SHARE YOUR LOVE.

AND AS THE DAWN WAS BREAKING
A BETTER WORLD WAS WAKING
JOY DESCENDED, HEARTS WERE MENDED
TO BUILD A NEW AND BRIGHTER DAY
AND THE STRANGER IN THE CITY
NO LONGER A STRANGER
WENT ON HIS WAY.
(ORCHESTRA PLAYS, CHORUS HARMONIZES, AND DANCE TROUPE PERFORMS.THEN;)
(CH) JOY DESCENDED, HEARTS WERE MENDED
TO BUILD A NEW AND BRIGHTER DAY
(VM) THEN THE STRANGER IN THE CITY
NO LONGER A STRANGER
WENT ON HIS WAY
(VM&CH)WENT ON HIS WAY.
