Harry Connick Jr [가수, 영화배우]

It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year, forever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
They're all just passing fancies
That in time may goOh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
Oh, our love is here to stay

Basin Street is the street
Where all the white and the black folk meet
Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams
You never know how much it seems
Not just how much it really means
I'm glad to be, yessirree, in the land of reverie
I can't lose my Basin Street Blues

I can't lose my Basin Street Blues

Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream
It's over my head

Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you heard
Baby, I haven't a chance

True I've been seen
With someone new
That doesn't mean
I've been untrue
While we're apart
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
Baby, you never will

Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said

Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans
I miss it, each night and day
The longer I stay away
Miss the moist covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds use to sing
And I like to see the lazy Mississippi
Are hurrying to spring
The mardy grass memories
Of creool tunes that fill the air
I dream of orleanders in June
And soon I'm wishing that I was there
Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans
And there is something more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss her each night and day
I know I'm not wrong because the feeling's
Getting stronger the longer I stay away

Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi
Running in the spring

Moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And I'm wishin' I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

I could while away the hours
Conferrin with the flowers
Consultin with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin
While my thoughts were busy hatchin
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel any riddle
For any individd-el
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin
I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain

Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more

I would not be just a nothin
My head all full of stuffin
My heart all full of pain
Perhaps I deserve you
And be even worthy erve you
If I only had
If I only had a brain

I could while away the hours
Conferrin with the flowers
Consultin with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin
While my thoughts were busy hatchin
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel any riddle
For any individd-el
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin

Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just like I think of youImagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to doHave you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it's only your imagination again
Oh wellImagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
Yet I can't imagine that you want me too

Oh please, don't talk about me when I'm gone
Although our friendship ceases from now on

Hey Carmen, if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice

We are parting
You go your way
I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a little kiss
I hope that this brings lots of love to you

Makes no difference how I carry on
'Cause baby I know you'd better not talk about me when I'm gone

S' wonderful! 'S marvelous!
You should care for me!
S' awful nice! 'S paradise!
S' what I love to see!You've made my life so glamorous
You can't blame me for feeling amorous.
Oh! 'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!

That you should care for me!

Moonlight and magnolias, starlight in your hair
All the world a dream come true
Did it really happen, was I really there
Was I really there with you
We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama that night
I can't forget the glamour, your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last nightI never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night"Alright, let's take it on down from Muscle Shoals through Decatur"
"Mmmm, Birmingham, ooh Montgomery"
"Right up over Spanish Fort into Mobile, my hometown"
"Mister T..."I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
Ah, stars fell on Alabama last night"One more time boys..."
Yes, we lived our little drama
We kissed on the dunes so white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

They're writing songs of love,
But not for me;
The lucky star's above,
But not for me.
With love to lead the way,
I've found more skies of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee.
I was a fool to fall
And get that way.
Heigh ho! Alas! And also, lackaday!
Although I can't dismiss
The mem'ry of her kiss…
I guess she's not for me.
It all began so well,
But what an end!
This is the time a fella needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a the marriage knot
But there's no knot for me.

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for?
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

If they asked me I could write a book
About the way you walk, and whisper and look
I could write the preface on how we met
So the world would never forget
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
Then the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers of friends

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who
could make me be true
Could make me be blue
or even be glad Just to be sad
thinking of you

Some others I've seen.
might never be mean
Might never be cross
or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Some others I've seen.
might never be mean
Might never be cross

You say "either" and I say "either"
You say "neither" I say "neither"
"Either" "either", "neither" "neither"
Let's call the whole thing off
You say "potato," I say "patattah"
You say "tomato", I say "creole tomata"
Oh, let's call the whole thing off
Oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part and oh
If we ever part, that would break my heart
So, I say "ursta" you say "oyster"
I'm not gonna stop eatin' urstas just cause you say oyster,
Oh, let's call the whole thing off
Oh, I say "pajamas", you say "pajamas"
Sugar, what's the problem?
Oh, for we know we need each other so
We'd better call the calling off off
So let's call it off, oh let's call it off
Oh, let's call it off, baby let's call it off
Sugar why don't we call it off,
I'm talking baby why call it off
Call it off…
Let's call the whole thing off

It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year, forever and a day

Oh, our love is here to stay

SAVOY, THE HOME OF SWEET ROMANCE,
SAVOY, IT WINS YOU AT A GLANCE,
SAVOY, GIVES HAPPY FEET A CHANCE,
TO DANCE.....,


YOUR FORM, JUST LIKE A CLINGIN' VINE,
YOUR LIPS, SO WARM AND SWEET AS WINE,
YOUR CHEEK, SO SOFT AND CLOSE TO MINE,
DIVINE..........,


HOW MY HEART IS SINGIN',
WHILE THE BAND IS SWINGIN',
NEVER TIRED OF ROMPIN',
AND STOMPIN' WITH YOU, AT THE SAVOY,


WHAT JOY, A PERFECT HOLIDAY,
SAVOY, WHERE WE CAN GLIDE AWAY,
SAVOY, THERE LET ME STOMP AWAY,
WITH YOU.

It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when?

That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air,
There were angels dining at the Ritz
and A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square.
I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I’m perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn’d and smiled at me
A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square.
The moon that lingered over London town,
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
How could he know we two were so in love.
The whole darn world seemed upside down,
The streets of town were paved with stars.
It was such a romantic affair,
And as we kiss’d and said “goodnight?
A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square

i know cause i was there
that my on Berk’ley Square

The sun sets red with rage
White clouds float by
Like high cotton
Blank as an empty page
Blue is a color buried
Not forgotten
Sweet as mother's milk
And clear as the wind
Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk
Blue is the color to be buried in
When you left
Leaving nothing behind
There's no one to blame
No criminal, no crime
You can report a missing person
But not a stolen heart
And I'm missing a person
To whom stealing was an art
The painting's complete
The brush strokes dry
I hear a band playing
A bent note or two
I guess someone died
And just wants to be
Buried in blue

I see your eyes drifting, driftingI'm really not that naiveYou wear a smile but it's drifting, driftingWhile I wear my heart on my sleeveI feel your coldness against my skinI know what follows the autumn windAnd though you say your

Meet me on the corner of close and soon
I'll have a song in my head
And my hands on a tune
Nothing lasts forever
So I guess I better
Take you forever
For now

Meet me in the lobby of destiny
I'll have a ribbon on my shoulders
And a halo over me
If nothing lasts forever
Then I guess I better
Take you forever
For now

Under a clock
By an information desk
I'll be there will bells on
By an old oak
A fountain in the park
Just don't be long
By the ticket counter for love in spring
I'll be standin' there with cupid
And he can aim that thing
If nothing lasts forever
Then I figure I better
Take you forever
For now

For now

Even if the sun comes in between
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world
She's there in the evening
She never comes late
All day she spins around
But never makes him wait
The girl in the world is smiling
'cause she's in love
The girl in the world is smiling
'cause she's in love with the man in the moon
When two heavenly bodies glow
All the stars agree A planet might be born
Maybe even a galaxy And in the morning
They don't say good-bye
But with a kiss They blend into the sky
Oh, they're smiling 'cause they're in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world
Heavenly!

I spent last night dreaming of your eyes
But your hair kept getting in the way
Your lips dropped in to tell me how you'd been
But when I tried to kiss them
My pillow told me I missed them
Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby
And it was then I knew just what to do
I'd fall asleep and then I'd dream of you again

Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby
And it was then I knew just what to do
I'd fall asleep and then I'd dream of you again

I've got a great idea
And wouldn't you like to know
You probably can't bear it
So I guess I'll have to share it
I thought of it a moment ago
It starts with your hand in mine
And next comes a little stroll
You probably won't buy it
But I'm trying to keep it quiet
So please don't tell a soul
'Cause if you do
The world and you
Will think I'm crazy and give me medicine
They'll drag me away
And as I go you'll hear me say
I could have been a decent match for Edison
Ideas are few and far between
And good ideas are rarer still
So listen and be wise
Just forget the other guys
'Cause my idea's no good for three
My idea is you and me

if you do The world and you
Will think I'm crazy and give me medicine
They'll drag me away
And as I go you'll hear me say
I could have been a decent match for Edison
Ideas are few and far between
And good ideas are rarer still
So listen and be wise
Just forget the other guys
'Cause my idea's no good for three
My idea is you and me

It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not her face but it's such a charming face
That it's alright with me
It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile but it's such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me
You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
It's alright with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
It's alright with me

The last days in May
Before summer lay claim
Back in the school yard
We made up a game
Now is always
Is always the same
Too bad always always ends
I remember I remember when
But I was just just a boy then
Innocent envy
Without compromise
Recommendations
All ill advised
Tall tales
And little white lies
The truth had to bend
I remember I remember when
But I was just just a boy then

Now that we're tall
And all grown
A house a car
Lives of our own
We can put off
But we can't postpone
The way we become men
I remember I remember when
But I was just just a boy then

Turn off the musicTake down the signs
Pack up the boxes Put away the wine
No toast for the future No reward for the find
If looks could kill This mirror would do
Only 'cause I don't have you
Later on good wishes Later on good try
I'm afraid won't do It's not justified
You go from the privy And you end up deprived
On top of the world But still there's no view
Only 'cause I don't have you
Not built on a wisp or whim Twist an arm, break a leg
Tear me limb from limb If there's a point you've made it
If there's a fare I've paid it
Don't bother with ovations Leave off the fanfare
Let the candles melt down Till the smoke's all that's there
Leave the veil in place A tear,
la mer I could say it was nothing
Now that there's nothing new
Only 'cause I don't have you

A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
And that's the recipe for making love
It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And that's the recipe for making love
And if you've made it right you'll know it
It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more
I didn't get it from
my grandma's book upon the shelf
I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf
NO, a little birdie told me
you can't make it by yourself
And that's the recipe for making love

It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more
I didn't get it from
my grandma's book upon the shelf
I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf
NO, a little birdie told me
you can't make it by yourself
And that's the recipe for making love

I know you so well
I can tell by the sound
of your voice
If you're really
in love with me
And you are
And You are
You know I can't lie
If I say to you
'baby I love you'
Then baby I love you
Oh and I do
Yes I do
I do could it be that's the
Phrase you thought never
would phase you Well baby
you better hold on tight
'Cause I'm the one
who's supposed to
Kneel down and propose
well alright
I might I might
So when I kiss you good night
Just sleep tight
with the thought that you'll
Always be caught up
in love with me
And you'll dream
that the stars up above
Have the answer of whether
we'll be
Or whether we won't be
In love
Well we are
Yes we are

I do could it be that's the
Phrase you thought never
would phase you Well baby
you better hold on tight
'Cause I'm the one
who's supposed to
Kneel down and propose
well alright
I might I might
So when I kiss you good night
Just sleep tight
with the thought that you'll
Always be caught up
in love with me
And you'll dream
that the stars up above
Have the answer of whether
we'll be
Or whether we won't be
In love
Well we are
Yes we are

I forget what happens on the Fourth of July
Or when the rent is due
Dates and deadlines just float by
But I always remember youWhat Colombus set out to discover
Isabelle already knew
There'll be horizons and skylines and other lovers
But I always remember youIf I could rearrange history
And give it to you as a gift
There would be one more movement
In Beethoven's fifthWhy, oh why, in a land of plenty
Some just have to make due
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
I'll always remember you

I live in a tiny closet
A lukewarm cold water flat
With room for a couple of cinders
A mouse, a hole, and a trap
I don't worry about the flights
Or count the stairs
'Cause I know
Someone's thereI took a high paying sweeping-up job
Dusting after somebody else
Seeing that there's clean on the windows
Convincing the snow to melt
I don't worry about the ride
Or the subway fare
'Cause I know
Someone's thereOne day we'll move uptown
Or even out to the country side
And for every leaf on a tree
We'll add one cub to the prideWho cares if the floor ain't level
Or if the ceiling falls in
Haunted by the devil
And ghosts and boogeymen
I can't be concerned
Why should I care
No place I'd go alone would compare
'Cause I know
You're there

He is good
They are happy
He is strong
They are secure
He is right
They are unquestioning
He is wrong
They are demureWhen she left
He was tortured
She was gone
They were confused
He was forgetful
They were supportive
He was funny
They were amusedHe did things that only superman could do
Things that sis and I could not believe were trueHe is older
They are loving
He is hardened
They are grown
He is needing
They are giving
He is glad they are his own

If I could give you more
I'd fill the house with flowers
Let you sleep for hours
Throw open the windows and unlock the doors
If I could give you moreIf I could give you more
I'd make the streets safe
For every homeless waif
That wanders alone to a foreign shore
If I could give you moreSee that you are sainted
Remain true and pure
So that you never get lost
No matter what you may endureIf I could give you more
I'd hand the world a phrase
That could not be erased
And tells of a love that's never been before
Oh, I will give you more

It's time to admit you love me
The flush of your cheek betrays
I hear a sigh in your voice
Your every word conveysIt's time to admit you love me
I feel the weight of your gaze
The smile that's mine alone
Your starry eyes sparkle ablazeIt's such a simple thing
How hard can it be
These few words
Endear you to meIt's time to admit I love you
And lift the worry from your brow
Rest your head upon my shoulder
There's nothing to be afraid of now

I know a girl
Who says she loves me
She says she needs me
And I have reason to believe her
Good reasonLike when we kiss
My eyes won't open
My heart won't listen
And I don't have a word to say
No, not a wordLook, my darling
And you'll hear me sing "I love you"
With my eyes
Let me hold you
Really hold you
Then you'll know my heartJust can't tell lies
It knows a true love
It knows it's you, love
And it knows that you say
You love me
And I say I love you, too

Just kiss me
And forget all about that other stuff
Kiss me
Your big red lips, I think, will be enoughDon't worry with your lipstick
I'm gonna kiss it all away
Throw away your lipstick
That ain't your color, anywayMy Lips Are Your Color
So Lips, Stick With Me!Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss meKiss me
And I'll take your lips to paradise
Kiss me
And paradise will never feel so niceYou're beautiful
You don't need all that make up
And you don't need to take up
All of your time in front of the mirror
Don't you know that you're my deara
Baby, can't you see we're in loveOoo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss meKiss me
And put all the stars back in the sky
Kiss me
And maybe then you'll know the reason why
I want you
And my love's gonna haunt you
And I'm gonna flaunt youIn front of all the boys that live on my street
And they're gonna be jealous 'cause you're so sweet
Do you think I should Do you think I should Aw, say it, man!I'm in love
Love
I'm in loveI'm in love
Sweet love

I met her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
I just wanted someone I could sing to
Who'd listen to every song
Oh, I just wanted someone I could cling to
Cling to all night longSo I kissed her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
And when I felt her lips I skipped a heartbeat
'Cause I was so in love with this girl
Oh, and how many times does your heart meet
The most beautiful girl in the worldSo I thought and thought about her
I just couldn't stop thinking about her
And I died when she called me up and said
She couldn't stop thinking about meNow I love her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
Now guys are calling wanting to be boyfriends
But they're going to have to answer to me
Oh, 'cause I'm going to tell all those toy friends
That she belongs to me

I cried all night for Sonny
'Til my eyes were dry
'Til the oceans overflowed
And the Red Sea turned blue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, tooI cried all night for Sonny
We s hands and said goodbye
His face was etched with sorrow
His heart without a hue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, tooWhen you try and love two people
You can't love either one
'Cause after a while you'll have to choose
Or else love self denialI stayed all night with Sonny
Like there'd never be another day
Go on and sleep 'til sunset
And I'll watch over you
I cried all night for Sonny
I know he was crying, too

Danny was an old-time Bourbon Street barker
Who wanted the same as Charlie Parker
And always cued-up a ball
Thinking he was one rack away
But even when you run the table
The check still seems small
When it's your last paydayThe shallow pocket changer
Who always took advantage of strangers
Tried to make a five-grand grab
With a split second getaway
But he forgot that a bag of money
Ain't worth much on a slab
When it's your last paydayThat line about luck just can't be bought
You're always lucky 'til you get caught
Trouble will find you, no need to look
And luck won't help when they close the bookI know a lot of young fellas in here
Especially those on the highest tier
Still want to believe
That Santa comes in a sleigh
They're right about the long white beard
But wrong about Christmas Eve
What's Christmas, when it's your last payday

I've travelled many a mile
And I haven't found a home
I've travelled many a mile
And one seed's unsown
I'll travel another mile
'Til I finally find my own
With imagination
I'll get thereI started with a dream
But came to a decision
I started with a dream
But now I have a mission
I have a goal
To see beyond my vision
With imagination
I'll get thereI've got to be strong [Shannon]
To climb the next hill
I've got to be strong [Russell]
My fate to fulfill
And from a strength [Leroy]
Stronger than my will
With imagination
I'll get thereIn my father's house
No harsh words are spoken
In my father's house
No vows are broken
In a holy place
My sould like beams oaken
With imagination
I'll get thereWhen weary is your world
Go and spin another
When weary is your world
There's heaven to discover
Here on earth
We're sister and brother
With imagination
We'll get thereAnd if I stand alone
To my cause I'm loyal
If I stand alone
Either common or royal
I'm not afraid
To cross their sea of toil
With imagination
I'll get thereWith imagination
I'll get thereWith imagination
I'll get there

There's a few things I haven't told you
And before you hear them from someone else
To clear up misconceptions
I'd rather tell you myself
There was a timeI rode a roller coaster
From Coney Island to Key West
I held on with one finger
So the other ten could rest
It may be hard to believe
Hard to comprehend
But baby, you didn't know me whenI played third chair trombone
In an out-of-work polka band
We looked for gigs on ships
In countries that had no land
It may be hard to believe
We hit the top ten
But baby, you didn't know me whenIf you want a resume I'll put it in writing
It's only good for a day and the contents are frighteningI gave long-winded speeches
I was a head-of-state
I wrote an endless novel
Called See Jane Love And Hate
It may be hard to believe
I'm reticent
But baby, you didn't know me when

Hello Central give me Doctor Jazz
He's got what I need, I'll say he has
When the world goes wrong and I've got the blues
He's the guy who makes me put on both my dancin' shoesThe more I get, the more I want it soon
I see Doctor Jazz in all my dreams
When I'm in trouble bounds are mixed
He's the guy who gets me fixed
Hello central give me Doctor Jazz

I look at them shuffle and the shuffle come down
Ramblin' and scramblin' and a-headin' for town
Hoppin' and boppin' and a-buzzin' around
Happily awaitin' at the station
I look at that train number 709
Hoppin' and boppin' and arrivin' on time
Who do you think is about to arrive
The band they call the Dixieland FiveThey're gonna play that muskrat ramble tune
Like the way you never heard it played
Get ready for the big parade
All together now - one and two
Join that happy crowd
Tellin' me that ramblin' scramblin' muskrat song
Come on, ramble along
Yeah

Way down yonder in New Orleans

Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him downHe rambled through the city
He rambled through the street
Little ol lady pass him said
"Look at the market meat!"Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down

Oh, step aside, y'all ornery tenderfeet
Cause I'm about to sing my song
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed, and my cheeks ain't tan
Well I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to startin now
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayI'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
Well I'm a ridin fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayLook out, I'm gonna show y'all how to ride now
Here we goI'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I come to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned them all on the radio
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayNow my story's almost done, so listen up!
You ain't got much longer nowI'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
Where the west is wild round the borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
And the indian make you a rug or two
And the old Bar-X is the Bar-be-cue
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayI'm just an old cowhand...

Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleeping in the new day's sunLazybones, sleepin in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
You'll never get your cornmeal made
Just sleepin in the evenin shadeWhen 'taters need spraying I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishin, I bet you keep wishin
The fish won't grab your lineLazybones, loafing through the day
How you 'spect to get a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Never heard a word I say

Do you hear that whistle down the line?
I figure that it's engine number forty-nine
She's the only one that'll sound that way
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa FeSee the old smoke risin 'round the bend
I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend
Folks around these parts get the time of day
From the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa FeHere she comes
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hey Jim, you'd better get the rig
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
She's got a list of passengers that's pretty bigAnd they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel
'Cause of lots of them been travelin for quite a spell
All the way from Philadelphia
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe

I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you liveAre there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you liveAnd oh, the towering feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second
You may suddenly appearPeople stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I can be here
On the street where you live

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apartYou wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now a stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone bySometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with youWhen our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a songBeside the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grewThough I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
