A Fine, Fine Day
|
Tony Carey
|
|
When my Uncle Sonny blew back into town,
|
Said "I'll just go for a ride
|
and have a look 'round."
|
And he took off his fidora,
|
and stuck his fingers in the crown,
|
And he pulled out twenty dollars
|
and he laid that money down.
|
|
And 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.
|
|
Chorus:
|
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 it,
|
nothin's gonna take it away
|
It's a Fine, Fine Day.
|
|
First time I saw Sonny,
|
I was just about this tall
|
And 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' round
|
Heard he'd gotten himself into
|
a little trouble out in town
|
Sometime after that
|
he finaly dissappeared for good,
|
Then he pulled out ol' Houdini,
|
like we always knew he would!
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
"I see you made it back alright, alright.
|
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,
|
nothin's gonna take it away
|
Oh yeah
|
A Fine, Fine Day... A Fine Day
|
