I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore

Blue skies Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies Do I see

Bluebirds Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds All day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies From now on

I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what I do

Irving Berlin

Zip a dee doo-dah

Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a dee ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headed my way.
Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a dee ay

Mister bluebird on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's actual.
Everything is satisfactual.
Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a dee ay
Wonderful feelin'. Wonderful day.

Why this feeling
Why this glow
Why the thrill when you say, Hello
It's a strange and tender magic you do
Mister Wonderful, that's you

Strange Magic

You're sailing softly through the sun
in a broken stone age dawn.
You fly so high.


I get a strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic.

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child!
But try to understand, try to understand, oh ... oh ...
Try try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man!" oh yeah
Oh, you've got the magic hands

They call me Mr. Pitiful
Baby thats my name now
They call me Mr. Pitiful Thats how I got my fame
But people just don`t seem to understand
How someone can feel so blue
They call me Mr pitiful cause I lost someone just like you.

They call me Mr. Pitiful
This everybody knows
They call me Mr. Pitiful Most everyplace I go.
But nobody seems to understand,
How can a man sing such a sad song
When he lost everything that he had.
Everything that he owned.

How can I explain to you?

How somebody can be so blue
How can I tell you about my past
If all things won`t end.

Mr Pitiful
Thats my name now
They call me Mr. Pitiful Thats how I got my fame
But nobody seems to understand
What makes a man feel so blue
They call me Mr. Pitiful
'cause I m in love with you

How can I explain to you

Everything is going wrong
I`ve lost everything I had
I have to sing this song
To get her back to me
I m gonna sing this song to you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you

Mr. Pitiful

Well I guess that, like Otis, I've lost everything I've owned (in a manner of speaking) so I guess I'll re-start this thread in a manner more esthetically pleasing to the refined sensibilities of we of this board.

No more, rap and rock and inane lyrics.
No more, earthy blues and folksy ditties,
Next trip out it will be show tunes and arias from operas.

Oh boy, white folks, this shall be fun.

Bring it Milo. I'm dusting off my scores and librettos. Oh wait....I don't have many, but it would be a challenge, none the less.

I grew up on some of that rock, blues and folk, and I've been to known like some inane lyrics, some of which come from arias and show tunes...... Shi-Poo-Pi! Shi-Poo-Pi Shi-Poo-Pi
