Everybody has the right to be wrong at least once
Everybody has the right to be dunce-like, once-like
Not being too smart is, is no disgrace
What sets you apart is smilin' with egg on your face

Its naive to make believe that you're right, it's not bright
Only fools go walking on thin ice, twice

You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get along
All it takes is simply saying you're wrong when you're wrong
And everybody has the right to be wrong

You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get along
All it takes is simply sayin' you're wrong when you're wrong
And everybody has the right to be
It can be a real delight to be
And I'd fight, fight for the right to be wrong
"At least once!!"

You're young for a golden moment, you sigh and it flies away
And then in the silent September, you dream of the music of May.
You're young for a shining hour, but soon it's remember-when,
Take hold of that golden moment,
For once it's gone, it never comes back again.

Take hold of that golden moment,
For once it is gone, it never comes back.
You cry, still it won't come back,
It's gone and never comes back again.

they call you lady luck
but there is room for doubt
at times you have a very unladylike way
of running out

you're on this date with me
the pickin's have been lush
and yet before this evening is over
you might give me the brush

you might forget your manners
you might refuse to stay
and so the best that I can do
is pray

luck be a lady tonight
luck be a lady tonight
luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with
luck be a lady tonight

luck let a gentleman see
how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with luck be a lady with me

a lady doesn’t leave her escort
it isn’t fair
it isn’t nice

a lady doesn’t wonder all over the room
and blow on some other guys dice

lets keep this party polite
never get out of my sight
stick with me baby im the fellow
you came in with
luck be a lady tonight

luck let a gentleman see
just how nice
how nice a dame you can be I know the way you’ve treated
other guys you’ve been with
yeah luck be a lady with me

a lady doesn’t leave her escort
it isn’t fair
and its not nice

a lady doesn’t wonder all over the room
and blow on some other guys dice

so lets keep the party polite
never get out of my sight
stick with me baby im the guy that
you came in with
luck be a lady
luck be a lady
luck be a lady tonight

Before Lord God made the sea or the land
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand
And one little star fell alone

Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star in the wind down there
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost no more

Now, a man don't mind if the stars get dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him
So long as the Lord God's watching over him
Keeping track how it all goes on

But I've been walking through the night and the day
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away
Forgetting his promise and the word he'd say

And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars

Hello dolly, well hello dolly,
It's so nice to have you back where you belong.
You're looking swell, dolly, we can tell, dolly,
You're still glowing, you're still crowing, you're still going strong.
We feel the room swaying 'cause the band's playing
One of your old favorite songs from way back when,
Take a rap, fellows, find her an empty lap, fellows,
Dolly'll never go away, dolly'll never go away...
(instrumental by louie armstrong playing his saxophone)
Hello sax, this is francis, louie,


It's so nice to see you back where you belong,
You're back on top, louie, never stop, louie,
You're still singing, you're still swinging, you're still going strong,
You get the room swaying when you start in playing
One of your great songs, your songs from way back when,
Blow your horn, louie, sing up a great big song, louie,
Promise you won't go away, promise you won't go away,
Promise you won't go away again.
Louie armstrong: oh yeah!

I'll only miss her when I think of her
And I'll think of her all the time
Likely I'll spend my days hearing her turn of a phrase
Things I found hard to praise, right now, would seem sublime

The truth is

I'll only miss her when some stranger laughs
'cause it's still her laugh my heart hears
Maybe in time, I guess, the longing will grow the slightest bit less
And there will be moments, yes, when it disappears
I'll bet I forget her completely
In about a hundred years

There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can't take that away from me

We may never never meet again, on the bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me

(Interlude)

We may never, never, never meet again, on the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep that memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away
They won't take that away
Cause they can't take that away
From me

Yesterdays
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine
And truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Of yesterdays
Then gay youth was mine
The truth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Of yesterdays

Holdin' hands at midnight
'neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Strollin' with the one girl
Sighin' sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then takin' that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it won't you tell me how?

Holdin' hands at midnight
'neath a starry sky

And strollin' with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh


Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then takin' that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it won't you tell me how?

"Have you met Miss Jones?" someone said as we shook hands,
She was just Miss Jones to me.
And then I said, "Miss Jones, you're a girl who understands
I'm a man who must be free."
And all at once I lost my breath, and all at once was scared to death,
And all at once I owned the earth and sky.
And now I've met Miss Jones, and we'll keep on meeting till we die,
Miss Jones and I.
(musical interlude)
And all at once I lost my breath, and all at once was scared to death,
And all at once I owned the earth and the sky.
Now I've met Miss Jones, and we'll keep on meeting till we die,
Miss Jones and I, Miss Jones and I, Miss Jones and I.

Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never have been
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song

That field of corn, would never see a plow
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A man is born, but he's no good no how
Without a song

I've got my trouble and woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along, as long as a song
Is strung in my soul

I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know, what makes the grass so tall
I only know, there ain't no love at all
Without a song
