Nothing over sixpence (Buxton High Society)
Waltz of my heart
A woman's heart
The Glo-Glo
Why is there ever goodbye
My dearest dear
I can give you the starlight
The girl I knew
Why isn't it you
When the great day comes
The Gates of Paradise
Take your girl
And her mother came too
Glamorous Night
The Land of Might-Have-Been
My life belongs to you
Give me back my heart
Primrose
We'll gather lilacs
