Dean Martin(born Dino Paul Crocetti, June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) American actor and singer, couldn't read music, and yet recorded more than 100 albums and 600 songs, racking up major hits such as "That's Amore", "Volare", "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" and his signature tune "Everybody Loves Somebody". Besides being the ladies' man counterpart of Jerry Lewis in a series of comedies, besides being a ratpacker, Dean Martin, in his long variety show run on NBC, often seemed to be dead drunk on national TV. The fact that America saw his show as charming and wholesome just the same is a testament not only to the culture of the time but to Martin's own great charm. Dean was well known as a family man and his "drinking" was just an act. It used to bother Frank Sinatra (who was a big drinker) that Dean went home early to be with his wife and kids and not go hitting the bars with him.

Chee-Chee Oo Chee (Sang The Little Bird) Lyrics
Dean Martin
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Once on a tree top tall a little bird
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Sang out the sweetest song I ever heard
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(He sang to me so merrily)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(The little birdie on the tree)
Life's such a lovely thing it seemed to say
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
If you'd only sing your cares away
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Chee chee-oo chee so merrily it went along
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Chee chee-oo chee so happily his little song
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
And so (and so) I sing (I sing)
Chee chee-oo chee the happy happy little thing
If you (if you) feel blue (feel blue)
Sing chee chee-oo chee and you can be as happy too
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Sing this happy little song
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Chee chee-oo chee
Chee chee-oo chee it sang to me so merrily
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Chee chee-oo chee the little birdie on the tree
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(If you feel blue)
Sing chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee and you can be as happy too
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
(Chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee)
Sing this happy little song
(Sing chee chee-oo chee, chee chee-oo chee and you can be as happy as can be)
