Tony Carey – A Fine Fine Day

Tony Carey – A Fine Fine Day lyrics

When my Uncle Sonny blew back into town
Said I’ll just go for a ride and have a look ’round
He took off his fidora and stuck his fingers in the crown
And he pulled out twenty dollars
And he laid that money down

He called out to a taxi cab
Take me down to Central Park
And keep that meter runnin’ to the twenty dollar mark
And he kept his eyes turned forward
And he sat up straight and tall
And no one even noticed him, no one cared at all

It’s a fine, fine day for a reunion
It’s a fine, fine day for comin’ home
You did your sittin’, you did hard time
But you ain’t gonna sit no more
They can’t keep you there no more
It’s a fine, fine day
And nothin’s gonna take you, nothin’s gonna take you away
It’s a fine, fine day, oh yeah

First time I saw Sonny, I was just about this tall
He always made my momma kinda crazy when he’d call
Him and my old man would stand and whisper in the hall
Then they’d dissappear and maybe not come home at all
Then one day Sonny stopped comin’ around
Heard he’d gotten himself into a little trouble out in town
Sometime after that he finally dissappeared for good
Then he pulled that ol’ Houdini
Like we always knew he would

It’s a fine, fine day for a reunion
It’s a fine, fine day for comin’ home
You did your sittin’, you did hard time
But you ain’t gonna sit no more
They can’t keep you there no more
It’s a fine, fine day, oh yeah
And nothin’s gonna take you
Nothin’s gonna take you away, oh yeah
It’s a fine, fine day, fine day
It’s a fine, fine day, fine day
It’s a fine, fine day, fine day

I see you made it back all right, all right
I see you’re none the worse for wear
It’s been a long time comin’
Nothin’s gonna drag you away from here

A fine, fine day
And nothin’s gonna take it, nothin’s gonna take you away
Oh yeah
A fine, fine day, oh yeah
A fine, fine day
A fine, fine day
And nothin’s gonna take you
Nothin’s gonna take you away, away
A fine, fine day, fine day
A fine, fine day
