Dianne Reeves - Good Night, And Good Luck (2005) by Dianne Reeves (보컬) on maniadb.com

[Originally by Nat King Cole]

A buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said-- Now listen, Jack

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
Ain't no use in divin'
What's the use in jivin'
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

The buzzard told the monkey "You're chokin' me
Release your hold and I'll set you free
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
Your story's touching but it sounds like a lie

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

[Instrumental interlude]

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

(Sunny Skylar)

[Otiginally by Benny Goodman & His Orchestra]

If you ain't wrong, you're right
If it ain't day, it's night
If you ain't sure, you might
Gotta be this or that

If it ain't dry, it's wet
If you aint got, you get
If it ain't gross, it's net
Gotta be this or that

If it ain't sis, you can't miss
It's got to be your brother
Can't you see it's gotta be
One way or the other

If it ain't full, it's blank
If you don't spend, you bank
If it ain't Dee, it's Frank
Gotta be this or that

Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation

Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"

Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's so close for comfort

Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now

[Instrumental]

Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"

Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now

Too close, much too close
She's much too close for comfort now

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

[Originally by Duke Ellington]

In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

I sit in my chair
I'm filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom ev'rywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude
I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Send back my love

If you wanna have fun come home with me
You can stay all night and play with my TV
TV is the thing this year,
TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, now it`s out of date
TV is the thing this year

Last night I was watching old Tom Nix
My TV broke, I was in a fix
I Got on the phone, and called my man Said
get here daddy as fast as you can
TV is the thing this year,
TV is the thing this year,
Radio was great, but now it`s out of date
And TV is the thing this year


Ye, TV is the thing this year,
TV is the thing this year,
Radio was great, but now it`s out of date
And TV is the thing this year

Ye, TV is the thing this year,
TV is the thing this year,
Radio was great, but now it`s out of date
And TV is the thing this year

Ye~ Hoo!

Pick yourself up...
Take a deep breath...
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.


Nothing's impossible, I have found
For when my chin is on the ground.
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off
And start all over again.


Don't lose your confidence
If you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.


Work like a soul inspired
Until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son.


Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath...
Pick yourself up...
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.


~interlude~


Work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son.


Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath...
Pick yourself up...
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.

Don't cry, there'll be another spring
I know our hearts will dance again
And sing again, so wait for me till then

Be glad the bird is on the wing
Another time to love
And laugh with me, just wait and see

I love you now
And I'll love you forever
Oh don't be sad
We'll surely be together

For the sky is bluer overhead
If you will just believe in me
There'll be another spring
