Kern; "Fancies" by Fleta Jan Brown and Herbert Spence; "There's just a bit o' heaven in your smile" by Benton Ley and Lee David; "Me neenyah (My little one)" by Fleta Jan Brown and Herbert Spence; "He looks at her and then he goes ha-ha-ha-ha-ha" by Billy Rose and Ray Henderson; and "Aching heart" by Richard Carle.
