2 lyrics about Sundays

1944
Sunday in Cicero Falls,
Sunday in Cicero Falls,
Shoes are brushed and shirts are starched,
Hearts are pure and throats are parched,
Sabbath has fallen on cobbles and walls
Thank merciful Heaven
Just one day in seven
Is Sunday in Cicero Falls,
Sunday in Cicero Falls.

1950
There’s a fine Sunday feeling
‘Round that old village square,
With those fine Sunday faces
Smiling at you everywhere . . .

From the bells in the belfry
Comes a song everywhere,
If it says “Love thy neighbor,”
And thy neighbor’s young and fair,
Thank that fine Sunday feeling in the air.

Lyric excerpts:
“Sunday in Cicero Falls”
From Bloomer Girl (1944); music by Harold Arlen

“That Fine Sunday Feeling”
From unproduced musical film version of Huckleberry Finn (1950)
Music by Burton Lane
