A Fine, Fine Day

When my Uncle Sonny blew back into town
Said Ill just go for a ride and have a look round
He took off his fedora 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
Its a fine, fine day for a reunion
Its a fine, fine day for comin home
You did your sittin, you did hard time
But you aint gonna sit no more
They cant keep you there no more
Its a fine, fine day
And nothins gonna take you, nothins gonna take you away
Its 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 hed call
Him and my old man would stand and whisper in the hall
Then theyd disappear and maybe not come home at all
Then one day Sonny stopped comin around
Heard hed gotten himself into a little trouble out in town
Sometime after that he finally disappeared for good
Then he pulled that ol Houdini
Like we always knew he would
Its a fine, fine day for a reunion
Its a fine, fine day for comin home
You did your sittin, you did hard time
But you aint gonna sit no more
They cant keep you there no more
Its a fine, fine day, oh yeah
And nothins gonna drag you
Nothins gonna drag you away, oh yeah
Its a fine, fine day, fine day
Its a fine, fine day, fine day
Its a fine, fine day, fine day
I see you made it back all right, all right
I see youre none the worse for wear
Its been a long time comin
Nothins gonna drag you away from here
A fine , fine day
And nothins gonna take it, nothins gonna take you away
Oh yeah
A fine, fine day, oh yeah
A fine, fine day
A fine, fine day
And nothins gonna take you
Nothins gonna take you away, away
A fine, fine day, fine day
A fine, fine day
