I was a stranger in the city Out of town were the people I knew I had that feeling of self-pity What to do? What to do? What to do? The outlook was decidedly blue But as I walked through the foggy streets alone It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day in London Town Had me low and had me down I viewed the morning with alarm The British Museum had lost its charm How long, I wondered, could this thing last? But the age of miracles hadn't passed For, suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London Town The sun was shining everywhere

When my Uncle Sonny blew back into town Said I'll just go for a ride and have a look 'round He took off his fidora and stuck his fingers in the crown And he pulled out twenty dollars And he laid that money down
He called out to a taxi cab Take me down to Central Park And keep that meter runnin' to the twenty dollar mark And he kept his eyes turned forward And he sat up straight and tall And no one even noticed him, no one cared at all
It's a fine, fine day for a reunion It's a fine, fine day for comin' home You did your sittin', you did hard time But you ain't gonna sit no more They can't keep you there no more It's a fine, fine day And nothin's gonna take you, nothin's gonna take you away It's a fine, fine day, oh yeah
First time I saw Sonny, I was just about this tall He always made my momma kinda crazy when he'd call Him and my old man would stand and whisper in the hall Then they'd dissappear and maybe not come home at all Then one day Sonny stopped comin' around Heard he'd gotten himself into a little trouble out in town Sometime after that he finally dissappeared for good Then he pulled that ol' Houdini Like we always knew he would
It's a fine, fine day for a reunion It's a fine, fine day for comin' home You did your sittin', you did hard time But you ain't gonna sit no more They can't keep you there no more It's a fine, fine day, oh yeah And nothin's gonna take you Nothin's gonna take you away, oh yeah It's a fine, fine day, fine day It's a fine, fine day, fine day It's a fine, fine day, fine day
I see you made it back all right, all right I see you're none the worse for wear It's been a long time comin' Nothin's gonna drag you away from here
A fine, fine day And nothin's gonna take it, nothin's gonna take you away Oh yeah A fine, fine day, oh yeah A fine, fine day A fine, fine day And nothin's gonna take you Nothin's gonna take you away, away A fine, fine day, fine day A fine, fine

Days of booze and roses Shine on us, free us all Who is not irascible He is no genius

And if it grabs my coat tail I will turn and hit it It may remove the pegs Keeping my eyes open

And tales of terror Which my father told me They never scared me But not only is it the blind Who cannot see That figure behind you Behind you Behind you You You
That figure kept on walking Behind you
There's a man on my trail There's a man on my trail There's a man on my trail There's a man on my trail He's also behind you Behind you Behind you Behind you Behind you
That figure kept on walking That figure kept on walking That figure kept on walking That figure kept on walking Behind you Behind you Behind you

A Fellow Needs A Girl Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
A fellow needs a girl, to sit by his side At the end of a weary day To sit by his side and listen to him talk And agree with the things he'll say!
A fellow needs a girl, to hold in his arms When the rest of the world goes wrong To hold in his arms and know that she believes That her fellow is wise and strong!
When things go right and his job's well done He wants to share the prize he's won If no one shares and no one cares Where's the fun of a job well done, or a prize you've won?
A fellow needs a home, his own kind of home But to make this dream come A fellow needs a girl, his own kind of girl My kind of girl is you!
A fellow needs a girl, his own kind of girl My kind of girl is you!
