It's a Good Day

IT'S A GOOD DAY
When I woke up this morning
I was feeling all wrong
Couldn't find any reason for a happy song
Then I had some coffee and I washed my face
And my little world fell into place
Yes, it's a good day for singing a song
A good day for moving along
It's a good day
How could anything go wrong?
A good day from morning 'til night
Said, it's a good day for shining your shoes
A good day for losing the blues
Got everything to gain, nothing to lose
It's a good day from morning 'til night
I said to the Sun: Good morning, Sun
Rise and shine today!
You know you've gotta get goin' if you're gonna make a showin'
And you've got the right of way
'Cause it's a good day for paying your bills
A good day for curing your ills
So take a deep breath and throw away the pills
It's a good day from morning 'til night
[Instrumental]
I said to the Sun: Good morning, Sun
Rise and shine today!
You know you've gotta get goin' if you're gonna make a showin'
And you've got the right of way, yeah
It's a good day for paying your bills
A good day for curing your ills
So take a deep breath and throw away the pills
It's a good day from morning—morning 'til night!

The Way You Look Tonight

THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT
Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Because you're handsome, with your smile so warm
And your arms so strong
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh... wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lover, never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
[Instrumental]
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh... wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Oh, handsome, never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Now, won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you!
Just the way you look tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just the way you look tonight

Nuzzle With My Nizzle

NUZZLE WITH MY NIZZLE
I wanna nuzzle with my nizzle
Wanna hug and kiss on him, too
I wanna nuzzle with my nizzle
Gonna cuddle and tickle him, too
So I'm'a come over now baby, if that's cool
I was out with the ladies, but I wanna see my baby tonight
I've been feelin' kind of softie and I'd love to let you rock me tonight
I love how it feels to be with you:
Sweet and right and everything I like
Nuzzle with my nizzle
Means I'm a little obsessed with your touch
Wanna kiss you so much
I get giddy to be just in your vicinity
I want to nuzzle with my nizzle 'til our love creates a puddle of bliss
Using our hands and noses and cheeks and temples to kiss
'Til parts of me melt into you
And I know my feet aren't in my shoes
Nuzzle with my nizzle
Means I'm a little obsessed with your touch
Wanna kiss you so much
And I get giddy to be just in your vicinity
A nuzzle nuzzle, a nuzzle nuzzle with my nizzle
A nuzzle nuzzle, a nuzzle nuzzle with my nizzle
Nuzzle with my nizzle
Means I'm a little obsessed with your touch
Wanna kiss you so much
I get giddy to be just in your vicinity
[Scat]
Nuzzle with my nizzle
Means I'm a little obsessed with your touch
Wanna kiss you so much
And I get giddy to be just in your vicinity

NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT
Once I lived a life of a millionaire
I spent all my money, I just didn't care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought top-shelf liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
I lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it 'til that eagle grins 'cause
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
When you finally get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
That nobody knows you when you're down and out
[Instrumental]
Mmm, I done fell so low
Nobody wants me around their door
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
That nobody knows you when you're down and out, no
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any
But you finally get back on your feet again
And everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
That nobody knows you
Nobody likes you
Nobody needs you
And nobody wants you
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
When you're down and out

I Thought About You

I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU
I took a trip on a train and I thought about you
We passed a shadowy lane and I thought about you
Two or three cars parked under the stars
A winding stream
The moon shinin' down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream
At every stop that we made, I thought about you
And when I pulled down the shade, I really felt blue
I peeked through the crack and looked at the track
The one going back to you
Oh, what did I do?
I thought about you
[Instrumental]
At every stop that we made, I thought about you
And when I pulled down the shade, I really felt blue
I peeked through the crack and looked at the track
The one going back to you
Oh, what did I do?
I thought about you
Oh, what did I do?
I thought about you
I thought about you
I thought about you

YOU'RE THE FIRST, THE LAST, MY EVERYTHING
My first, my last, my everything
And the answer to all of my dreams
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are
I know there's only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
You're all I'm living for
Your love I'll keep for evermore
You're the first, you're the last, my everything
In you I've found so many things
A love so new only you could bring
Can't you see it's you, you make me feel this way
You're like a first morning dew on a brand new day
I see so many ways that I can love you 'til the day I die
You're my reality
Yet I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, you're the last, my everything
[Instrumental]
I know there's only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
You're my reality, but I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, you're the last—
You're the first, you're the last—
You're the first and the last, my everything
My everything

SUGAR
Sugar, I call my baby my sugar
I never 'maybe' my sugar
That sugar baby of mine - he's special ration
Funny, he never asks for my money
All I give him is honey
And that he can have anytime
I'd make a million trips to his lips if I were a bee
Because he's sweeter than chocolate candy to me
He's confectionary
Sugar, I'd never cheat on my Sugar
'Cause I'm too sweet on my Sugar
That sugar baby of mine
[Instrumental]

UNLUCKY WOMAN
I was born on a Friday, married on a Friday, too
Hmm, said I was born on a Friday, married on a Friday, too
But I never had no back luck 'til the day I met you
I don't want no more lovin', I'd rather be all alone
No i don't want no more lovin', said I'd rather be all alone
So when my paycheque comes around, I can call my money my own
Love is just a gamble, it's just like shootin' dice
But it's my bad luck that I got snake eyes twice
I'm an unlucky woman, I guess I was born that way
If any man can change my luck, he can move right in today
[Instrumental]
I don't want no excuses, said I'm sick of your crap
You can cry me a river, 'cause I'll never take you back
I learned my lesson
I learned it just in time
Bad luck will never leave me, 'til I cross you off my mind
[Instrumental]
I'm an Unlucky Woman
I guess I was born that way
And if any man can change my luck, he can move right in today

I'VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING
I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - I'm in love
I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Any time I twirl my finger
Lucky me, can't you see - I'm in love
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on the rainbow
I've got that string, it's 'round my finger
What a world, what a life - I'm in love
[Instrumental]
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a crazy so-and-so
If I should ever let go
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
I've got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - I'm in love
What a world, what a life - I'm in love

MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME
My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places
Beyonce is not his style
And even Angelina's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me
[Instrumental]
No, my baby don't care for shows
He don't even care for clothes
He just cares for me
My baby don't care for
For cars and races
He don't care for high-tone places
Beyonce is not his style
And even Angelina's smile
Is something he can't see
It's something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
Just says he swears for
My baby just cares for me

GOODNIGHT MY LOVE
Goodnight, my love
The tired old moon is descending
Goodnight, my love
My moment with you is now ending
It was so heavenly
Holding you close to me
It will be heavenly
To hold you again in a dream
The stars above
Have promised to meet us tomorrow
'Til then my love
How dreary the new day will seem
So for the present, dear
We'll have to part
Sleep tight, my love
Goodnight, my love
Just remember that you're mine, sweetheart
[Instrumental]
