Wake The Towon And Tell The People - Les Baxter

Wake the Town and Tell the People

Johnny Mathis

Music by Jerry Livingston and Words by Sammy Gallop

This version did not chart but

In 1955 Les Baxter with his Orchestra and Chorus with vocals by the Notables

hit # 5 with it

And Mindy Carson’s competing version attained # 13

Wake the town and tell the people

Sing it to the moon above

Wake the town and tell the people

Tell them that we’re so in love (tell them that we’re so in love)

Let’s begin the celebration

Let’s declare a holiday

Send the wedding invitation

To the neighbors right away

When you are close to me

And my heart is dancing with delight

I want the world to see

Heaven in my arms tonight

Shout it from the highest steeple

Ring the bells the whole night through

Wake the town and tell the people

Tell them I’m in love with you

I want the world to see

Heaven in my arms tonight

Shout it from the highest steeple

Ring the bells the whole night through

Wake the town and tell the people

Tell them I’m in love with you

I want the world to see

Heaven in my arms tonight

Shout it from the highest steeple

Ring the bells the whole night through

Wake the town and tell the people

Tell them I’m in love with you

(Wake the town and tell the people)
