You've Got Your Mother's Big Blue Eyes

Words and Music by Irving Berlin (1913)
This song is totally precious, and to think it was written years
before Mr. Berlin had his own two daughters...he must have
had a premonition that was what God would give him.

I've Got My Captain Working For Me Now

Words and Music by Irving Berlin (1919)
A funny post-war song about a private in the Great War who, after the war,

This song was hugely popular, recorded by all the big name recording artists of the day.
