I've got a sunny day I've got a starry night I've got a beautiful girl Makes me feel alright I'm feeling so good It might be a sin I'm in pretty good shape For the shape I'm in - If you want to know my secret The secret is, I don't have one to tell It's an attitude of gratitude With a lot of latitude And just a pinch of I'll never tell And I'me feeling so good It might be a sin I'me in pretty good shape For the shape I'm in - I've got a fancy car A tab at the bar I would like my keys Hand them to me please I'm feeling so good It might be a sin I'm in pretty good shape For the shape I'm in - If you want to know my secret The secret is, I don't have one to tell It's an attitude of gratitude With a lot of latitude And just a pinch of I'll never tell And I'me feeling so good It might be a sin I'me in pretty good shape For the shape I'm in - I've got a police man Holding to my hand A new place to stay With three meals a day And I'me feeling so good It might be a sin I'me in pretty good shape For the shape I'm in

Down in Cape Fear The sky is clear But the atmosphere Around her was so severe - We made the trip On a pirate ship Cutlass on my hip That's when she gave me the slip - We we're together on the beach With the ghost of Edward Teach But she was still so out of reach Treasure in the sand... - Some local boys Thought they'd make some noise Playing with their toys All they managed was to annoy - That pirate crew Set their sights on you They liked the view They took those boys and ran 'em through - We we're together on the beach With the ghost of Edward Teach But she was still so out of reach Treasure in the sand. - I guess it's time to cut and run I've had enough of sand and sun I only came to find some fun Not treasure in the sand...

Don't have much to say but I usually say it anyway Don't have much to prove just keep the record in the groove Don't have much to give spend it all trying to live Don't have much at all just memories I can't recall -The sad fact is -my case is such -counting one by one -I just don't have that much! --- Don't have savoir faire to tell the truth, I just don't care Don't shop on Savile Row that's a place I don't go Don't dine on fine cuisine or ride around in limousines Don't know who you are a vagrant or a movie star -The sad fact is -my case is such -counting one by one -I just don't have that much! --- Don't behave that well but it gives me stories I can tell Don't stand very tall so it's not that far for me to fall I don't have time to burn on lessons I've already learned I don't have what you want that's why I am so nonchalant -The sad fact is -my case is such -counting one by one -I just don't have that much! --- -You think of me -as out of touch -but what you think of me -don't mean all that much!

We learned the steps of the dance We left the rest up to chance O the lessons we learn Once the tables turn We saw no reason to wait Why should love need to hesitate O the things we discern Once the tables turn One thing stood between you and me That one thing they call reality That one thing neither one could see Till the truth set us free Words we have come to regret Things we would rather forget Watching as the bridges all burn Once the tables have turned O the wisdom we spurned Once the tables have turned

I Wouldn't 02:39
I'm not the one to be exact With any figure or any fact And I truly do disdain Taking time out to explain If you think I should That's how I know I shouldn't And if I had it to do all over again I tell you, my friend, I wouldn't - I'm not the one to be precise With any virtue or any vice I despise democracy And all the other forms of hypocrisy If you think I should That's how I know I shouldn't And if I had it to do all over again I tell you, my friend, I wouldn't - I'm not the one to volunteer Over 'there' or over here I do my best work to avoid becoming gainfully employed I know you think I should That's how I know I should not And if I had it to do all over again I tell you, my friend, I simply would not

I don't mean to be crude I don't mean to come across as rude I don't mean to be crass So if I have offended you feel free to kiss my foot I don't mean to be unkind I don't mean to always speak my mind I don't mean to be cruel To be the guy who's always breaking every rule I don't mean to take the blame But time and time again it happens all the same This is not how I intended to be I guess it just comes naturally I don't mean to be blunt I don't mean to offend or affront I don't mean to ignore Every time you come a knocking at my door I don't mean to make you cry I don't mean to make you wonder why I don't mean to walk away Every single time you have something to say I don't mean to lose the game But time and time again it happens all the same This is not how I intended to be I guess it just comes naturally

When we were together I thought you were the one But what I thought was love To you was foolish fun I believed in you up to the very day You laughed at me and walked away. - Now you're standing here Knocking at my door And you don't want to live Without me anymore I don't believe in you or in the games you play But before you go I would like to say - You came a long way Going the wrong way I'm not giving you another chance Don't settle in and park it Because I'm not in the market For a tired broken down romance Listen to me dear Let me make this clear You came a long way Going the wrong way - You played the game But now I've learned to keep score And you won't have the chance To play me anymore Fool me once and that's a shame But fool me twice and there's no wonder who's to blame - Now you must decide About your dignity Do you save a shred or Leave it all with me What you ought to do seems plain as day But before you leave I would like to say - You came a long way Going the wrong way I'm not giving you another chance Don't settle in and park it Because I'm not in the market For a tired broken down romance Listen to me dear Let me make this clear You came a long way Going the wrong way

If you baby asks you "Does this dress make me look fat?" Please tell me you're smart enough Not to answer that. Talk about a slippery slope And once that you begin There's no way of knowing Just where it might end. - I'm not going there and if I were you I'd come along and join me And not go there too. - Now if your baby asks you "Honey, do you love my cat?" Tell me, boy, you're smart enough not to answer that. Some things aren't worth saying and you'll never get them right And if you do, I guarantee, there's gonna' be a fight! - I'm not going there and if I were you I'd come along and join me And not go there too. - Nobody is perfect including you and me If you're living long enough eventually you'll see Life is full of give and take and you'll find that it's true You're putting up with something but she's putting up with you! - I'm not going there and if I were you I'd come along and join me And not go there too. -

about

This album is for those of us who get it...cynical jazz, that is. When the world is getting just a little too serious, I prescribe a healthy dose of my original jazz numbers. Overdose is not possible!
