A Fine, Fine Day
A Fine, Fine Day
Composer(s): Tony Carey
Performer(s): Tony Carey
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

You're A Lady
You're A Lady
Composer(s): Peter Skellern
Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn;
and various other artists
Now the year has come to a close
And I've had my last dance with you
Unto the empty streets we go
And this might be my last chance with you
So I might as well get it over
'Cause the things I've got to say won't wait until another day
You're a lady
I'm a man
You're supposed to understand
How these things are often planned to be
You're romantic
I'm a fool
You're the teacher
I've come to school
Here I sit
And hope that you'll love me
You're all magic
Unlock my chain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
So I say with no restrain
Be mine, oh be mine
Hard to answer, yes, I agree
But then I've got to know
I'm not asking you to marry me
Just a little love to show
Oh I know I could make you happy
So the things I have to say
won't wait until another day
You're a lady
I'm a man
You're supposed to understand
How these things are often planned to be
You're romantic
I'm a fool
You're the teacher
I've come to school
Here I sit
And hope that you'll love me
You're all magic
Unlock my chain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
So I say with no restrain
Be mine, oh be mine

A Fine Romance
A Fine Romance
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Dorothy Fields
First performance/First recording by: Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers/Rudy Vallee - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend, this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I've never mussed a crease in your blue serge pants
I never had the chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance
I'll take jello
You calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins to express emotion
A fine romance, with no quarrels
With no insults, and all the morals
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend, this is
True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has
We don't have half the thrills that "The March of Time" has
A fine romance, with no clinches
A fine romance, with no pinches
You never give the orchids I send a glance
No, you like cactus plants
This is a fine romance

You're A Heartbreaker
You're A Heartbreaker
Composer(s): Jack Sallee
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
Humble Pie; Steve Marriott; Leon Redbone
You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
A heartbreaker playing with fire
You're a tear snatcher
You're a quarrel patcher
But you can't break my heart anymore
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space
You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore
You're a smooth talker
You're a real cool walker
But now you have talked out of turn
You're a high stepper
You're a eye-catcher
But you won't catch my glances anymore
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space
You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore
You're a heart breaker
You're a love faker
A heartbreaker playing with fire
You're a tear snatcher
You're a quarrel patcher
But you can't break my heart anymore
For I've just found someone else who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space
You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore

If you leave me I won't miss you
And I won't ever take you back
Girl your mem'ry won't ever haunt me

From my front porch you can see the sea

If you'll buy that, I'll throw the Golden Gate in free
I don't worship the ground you walk on
I never have and that's a fact
I won't follow or try to find you

You're A Great Big Blue Eyed Baby
Composer(s): A. Seymour; Brown
Performer(s): Heidelberg Quintet
Oh, honey, since I first met you
I know why I have been so blue
And I know that love is true
You can plainly see such a change in me
My arms are aching to enfold you
Close to my heart I want to hold you
But there's something that I haven't told you
I just can't help loving you!
I only sleep to dream of you
And all the little things you do
Every day brings something new
And you've grown to be all the world to me
You'd never know how it would grieve me
If you should ever go and leave me
Hold me close and say that you believe me
Each breath of life, dear, is you!
For you're a great, big, blue eyed baby!
You're the sweetest thing I know!
And, dearie, oh, oh, oh, oh
I just like to bet che
If you linger long, I'll get che!
You're a great, big, blue, eyed baby!
I want to pet you like a child of three,
But there is one thing want understood
When you're around me
I just can't be good!
I want to hug and kiss you like your mama would
Her great, big, blue eyed baby

A Figure Walks
A Figure Walks
Composer(s): The Fall - Grant Showbiz
Performer(s): The Fall
A figure walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
Days of booze and roses
Shine on us, free us all
Who is not irascible
He is no genius
A figure walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
The old golden savages
Killed their philosophers
Thought brought the drought about
Something followed me out
Goes out again
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
And if it grabs my coat tail
I will turn and hit it
It may remove the pegs
Keeping my eyes open
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
It's got eyes of brown, watery
Nails of pointed yellow
Hands of black carpet
It's a quick trip to the ice house
A quick trip to the ice house
A quick trip to the ice house
A quick trip to the ice house
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
You
You
You
You
You
You
You
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
You
You
You
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 figure walks
A figure walks
A figure walks

A Few Minutes Of Silence
Composer(s): Paul Westerberg
Performer(s): Paul Westerberg
Play me what I want to hear
Don’t make me have to come down there
Forgot how to think and I don’t wanna dance
I wanna hear few minutes, few minutes, few minutes, of silence
Few minutes, few minutes, few minutes, of silence
It’s me, I’m back for my request
Cut me some slack and give it a rest
Sex and money and violence
I wanna hear few minutes, few minutes, few minutes, of silence
Few minutes, few minutes, few minutes of silence
Silence
Silence
You know the reason I’m listening for
One more note and I’m out that door
Is it too much to ask for my request
Silence
Few minutes few minutes few minutes of silence
Few just a few few minutes come on come on just give me some silence
Few just a few few minutes all I ever wanna hear is silence
Few just a few few minutes few minutes of

You're A Friend Of Mine
Composer(s): Jeffrey Cohen; Narada Michael Walden
Performer(s): Clarence Clemons
Striking out?
Well count me in
I'm gonna stand right by your side through thick or thin
Ain't no doubt
Gonna win
A walk through hell ain't bad compared to where we've been
Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die
Years may come and go
Here's one thing I know
All my life
You're a friend of mine
That argument
I can't forget
We fought so hard I don't think I've recovered yet
The girls we knew
Who thought you were cool
I never introduced my favorite ones to you
Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die
Years may come and go
Here's one thing I know
All my life
You're a friend of mine
Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die
Years may come and go
Here's one thing I know
All my life
You're a friend of mine
Oh you can depend on me
I'll be fine
'Cause you're a friend of mine
yeeaah
I'll be fine
'Cause you're a friend of mine

A Fellow Needs A Girl
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!

You're A Builder-Upper
You're A Builder-Upper
Composer(s): Harold Arlen; Ira Gershwin; E.Y. "Yip" Harburg
Performer(s): Ethel Merman;
and various other artists
When you want to
You are able to make me feel that I’m Clark Gable
Then next minute you make me feel
I’m something from the zoo
First you warm up, then you’re distant
Never knew a girl so inconsistent
I’m a big-shot at half past one
A so-and-so by two
Heaven forgive you for your sins
Keeping me on meaner than him
You’re a builder-upper, a breaker-downer
A holder-outer, and I’m a giver-inner
Sad but true, I’m a sapper or two
Taking it from a big rover like you
Don’t know where I’m atter
I’m just a this-er, then I’m a that-er
A taker on the chin-er
My, my, my, what a weakie am I
To love you as I do
Just when I’m ready to sob
You hand me a throb
And everything is hunky-dory
And that’s my story
Open your arms and I’m a stooge for your charms
You’re a builder-upper, a breaker-downer
A holder-outer and I’m a giver-inner
Sad but true, I love it I do
Being broken by a builder-upper like you
Sad but true, I love it I do
Being broken by a builder-upper like you

A Fella With An Umbrella

Performer(s): Peter Lawford & Judy Garland
and multiple other artists
I'm just a fella
A fella with an umbrella
Looking for a girl who saved her love for a rainy day
I'm just a fella
A fella with an umbrella
Glad to see the skies of blue have turned into skies of gray
Raindrops have brought us together and that's what I longed to see
Maybe the break in the weather will prove to be a break for me
So I'll be the fella, the fella with an umbrella
if you'll be the girl who saved her love for a rainy day
I met a fella
A fella with an umbrella
Looking for a girl who saved her love for a rainy day
I met a fella
A fella with an umbrella
Waiting for the skies of blue to turn into skies of gray
Raindrops will bring us together and that's what I long to see
Maybe a break in the weather will prove to be a break for me
I told the fella, the fella with the umbrella
I could be the girl who saved her love for a rainy day

A Felicidade
((Italian Version: Felicità (by Catarina Valente) - 1959))
Composer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim - Vinicius de Moraes
First release by: Silvia Telles - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Tristeza nao tem fim, felicidade sim
A felicidade e como gota, de orvalho numa petala de flor
Brilha tranquila. Depois de leve oscila
E cai como uma lagrima de amor
A felicidade do pobre parece
a grande ilusao do carnavao
A gente trabalha, o ano intero
Por um momento de sonho pra fazer a fantasia
De rei ou de pirata ou jardineira
Pra tudo se acabar na Quarta feira
Tristeza nao tem fim, felicidade sim
A felicidade a como a pluma, que o vento vai levando pelo ar
Voa tao leve, mas tem a vida breve
Precisa que haja vento sem parar
A minha felicidade esta sonhando
Nos olhos da minha namorada
E como esta noite, passando, passando
Em busca da madrugada falam baixo por favor
Pra que ela acorde alegre com o dia
Oferecendo beijos de amor

Your Wildest Dreams
Your Wildest Dreams
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Once upon a time
(Once when you were mine)
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams

A Feeling Is
A Feeling Is
Composer(s): Sheila Hutchinson
Performer(s): The Emotions
You know it's just a feelin'
A feelin' is a feelin'
A feelin' is a thing you can be sure of
Even if it's singular or plural
No matter what kind or mood of
You only know the real true meanin'
You don't have to tell anybody what's keepin'
You in a way, whatever the day
Whether it stays or go away, no
A feelin' is a thing you just can't finagle
It takes more than a rhyme or riddle
It's a matter of control over a lot or a little
Just keep in mind, real power is a virtue
Use it, you'll find you'll need no one to nurse you
When you pursue, you only accrue
What's comin' to you
It's true, it's true
It's true, it's true
Others will see you're a much better person
And it may seem they're just like a merchant
'Cause you will have the gift they've been searchin' for
And much, much more, much more
A feelin' is
(A feelin' is)
A feelin' is
(A feelin' is)
A feelin' is
You know it's just a feelin'
A feelin' is a feelin'
A feelin', oh
(A feelin', oh, a feelin' is)
A feelin' is
(I said a feelin' is, I said a feelin' is)
A feelin' is
(Somethin' precious)
A feelin' is
(Somethin' special)
A feelin' is
(Ooh, remember this is a feelin')
(Never, never, never, never, never)
A feelin', oh
(A feelin', ooh)
A feelin' is
A feelin' is
A feelin' is
A feelin' is
(A feelin' is tender, warm, precious)
A feelin', oh
(Never turn your back on a feeling)
(Never, never, never, never, never, never)
A feelin' is

Your Wild Heart
Your Wild Heart
Composer(s): Charles Sana; Jimmy Testa
Performer(s): Joy Layne; The Chordettes
When we first met my heart was set
You were the love I'd never regret
Then with a smile, you left for awhile
I didn't know that your heart was so wild
Your wild heart
Your wild heart
I couldn't tame right from the start
It was just you, me for you
Your wild heart I had to choose
Then you returned, explained how you yearned
And that the flame for me still burned
How would I know, for I loved you so
Your heart's so wild again, wants to go
Your wild heart
Your wild heart
I couldn't tame right from the start
It was just you, me for you
Your wild heart I had to choose
You act so free, it seems to me
Wild your heart always will be
But now I'm through
Things that you do
Tell my heart that you will never be true
Your wild heart
Your wild heart
I couldn't tame right from the start
It was just you, me for you
Your wild heart I had to choose
Your wild heart!
