Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

I'd smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playing with a can that he was kicking.
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone's frying chicken.
And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way.

On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singing.
Then I headed down the street,
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing,
And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

默默然静静地主日晨临

睁眼时恍然是周日清晨,
托着头啊哟哟搁哪都疼,
喝啤酒作早点味道不错,
啤酒好当甜点再来一轮。

用完餐寻衣穿翻柜倒箱,
找不到只能拣脏乱衣裳,
漱完口洗完脸再梳头发,
踉跄跄晃下楼终见亮堂。

那一夜只记得烟雾云飘,
乡曲纯烟香浓亲手细挑,
戒不了又点上第一口烟,
看小孩玩空罐连踢带跑。

过大街跟着跑时闻香飘,
别家人炸鸡忙主日真好,
那一时那一瞬令我顿回,
遗失梦迷失路记忆旧道。

主日晨街沿边求神帮忙,
何不如迷如仙飘云高翔,
那一时纵然间难言之隐,
令身心更倍感孤独无往。

静无声寂无息都市梦萦,
大道上街沿边静寂声吟,
身无靠心更碎孤独堪亡,
默默然静静地主日晨临。

花园里又瞧见慈爱父亲,
荡秋千小女孩笑语盈盈,
主日学课堂外纵然止步,
细细听静静聆天音温馨。

沿着街继续走留去无从,
天涯边海角外单鸣孤钟,
荡山脉徊峡谷凄凄凉凉,
好不如昨日梦烟消无踪。

週日早晨的落寞

週日晨朝猛然醒起
擾人頭疼束手無策
啤酒當餐主意不錯
一瓶再來就當點心

手入衣櫃遍尋衣物
找來最淨髒襯污衫
又洗了臉又梳了頭
蹣跚下樓邁向一天

前夜我含煙出了神
煙霧伴著心愛歌曲
點燃第一根我瞧著
小鬼嬉戲腳踢空罐

然後我漫步過街道
巧遇週日炸雞撲鼻
主阿我禁不住神遊
已失落的某某事地

週日朝晨人行道上
祈求默禱心如磐石
只為週日不知何事
孤單它圍繞我身旁

猶如死寂一般無異
似沉睡都市人行道
寂靜般的半份孤獨
與週日早晨的落寞

公園裡我目迎人父
和鞦韆上女孩笑顏
主日學旁途中駐足
豎耳傾聽盡情吟唱

而後我順街道獨行
遠處孤寂鐘聲響起
迴音嘹喨穿越峽谷
恍如昨夜飄渺夢境

Old Friend (Michael Feinstein)

Love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change ...

Every time I've lost another lover
I call up my old friend
And I say let's get together
I'm under the weather
Another love has come to an end

And she listens as I tell her my sad story
And wonders at my taste in friends
And we ponder why I do it
And the pain of getting through it
And she laughs and says, "You'll do it again"

But we sit in a bar and talk till two
About life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through
Our love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change

And I ask her if her life is ever lonely
And if she ever feels despair
And she says she's learned to love it
'Cause that's really all part of it
And it helps her feel the good times when they're there

Yes, we sit in a bar and talk till two
About life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through
Our love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change

And we wonder if I'll live with any lovers
Or spend my life alone
And the bartender is dozin'
And it's getting time for closin'
So we figure that I'll go it on my own

But we'll meet the year we're 62
And travel the world as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through
Our love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change

Love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change

... Old friend

There's No Business Like Show Business (Ethel Merman)

There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow

There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you you would not go far
That night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star
Let's go on with the show

The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props
The audience that lifts you when you're down
The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops
The sheriff who escorts you out of town
The opening when your heart beats like a drum
The closing when the customers don't come

There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
You get word before the show has started
That your favorite uncle died at dawn
On top of that, your pa and ma have parted
You're brokenhearted, but you go on

There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know has fold(sic)
You may be stranded out in the cold
But still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold
Let's go on with the show
Let's go on with the show

Here's a clip with better audio but in black and white ...

(Broadway medley by Ethel Merman & Mary Martin)

BTW, Mary Martin (Mother of Larry Hagman ✝ ) was another Broadway great. She famously played the title role of "Peter Pan" in the '50s. As kids we watched the televised show and its reruns religiously whenever they aired.

You'll be swell

Honey, everything's coming up roses

Clear the decks
Clear the tracks
You've got nothing to do but relax
Blow a kiss
Take a bow
Honey, everything's coming up roses

Now's your inning
Stand the world on its ear
Set it spinning
That'll be just the beginning
Curtain up
Light the lights
You got nothing to hit but the heights
You'll be swell
You'll be great
I can tell
Just you wait
That lucky star I talk about is due

Honey, everything's coming up roses and daffodils
Everything's coming up sunshine and Santa Claus
Everything's gonna be bright lights and lollipops
Everything's coming up roses for me and for you!

Mary Martin Feb 16, 2014

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/almanac-mary-martin-broadways-peter-pan/




Almanac: Mary Martin, Broadway's Peter Pan

CBS NEWS December 1, 2013, 9:47 AM



Mary Martin won a Tony Award as Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up,
and repeated her performance on national television in the 1950s. NBC


(CBS News) And now a page from our "Sunday Morning" Almanac: December 1st, 1913, 100 years ago today . . . the birthday of a singer and actress who played the boy who never grew old.

Mary Martin was born that day in small-town Texas.

Nicknamed "Audition Mary" for her persistence in seeking roles, Mary Martin wowed Broadway in 1938 with her rendition of "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," in Cole Porter's "Leave It to Me."

In 1949, she made the cover of Life magazine for her starring role in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, "South Pacific."

Then, in 1954 another Broadway opening: the title role in the musical version of "Peter Pan," performed three times on TV, most recently in 1960.

I'm flying!
Look at me, way up high,
Suddenly, here am I,
I'm fly-ing!

Peter Pan's nemesis Captain Hook was played by Cyril Ritchard, who by coincidence was ALSO born on December 1st . . . in 1897.

Martin and Ritchard both won Tony Awards for their roles in "Peter Pan," and in time went on to other projects, most notably Martin's star turn as Maria in the original Broadway production of "The Sound of Music" in 1959.

Martin (who by the way is the mother of "Dallas" star Larry Hagman) went on to receive Kennedy Center Honors In 1989, the year before her death -- and in an interview recalled her famous Neverland role: "I will always be Peter Pan. I have a vision of wanting to fly out of Madison Square Garden at the end."

And though Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard are now both long gone, countless members of the generation that grew up in the 1950s and '60s still fondly remember watching their television portrayals of Peter Pan and Captain Hook.

Theirs are performances that never grow old.

There's No Business Like Show Business (Ethel Merman)


The song is definitely an inspirational one; I ended up jumping to the backyard, stretching out arms, and declaring “There's No Business Like Snow Business!”

On second thought, I don’t want to go on with the snow anymore.

QHE,

So you're snowed in too, eh? Be careful driving. Here in Austin we hardly ever see snow.

You're The Top(1934)- Ethel Merman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCxDUQ6Uisk


You're The Top - by Cole Porter

At words poetic, I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best,
Instead of getting 'em off my chest,
To let 'em rest unexpressed,
I hate parading my serenading
As I'll probably miss a bar,
But if this ditty is not so pretty
At least it'll tell you
How great you are.

You're the top!
You're the Coliseum.
You're the top!
You're the Louver Museum.
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You're a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeare's sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse.

You're the Nile,
You're the Tower of Pisa,
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!

Your words poetic are not pathetic.
On the other hand, babe, you shine,
And I can feel after every line
A thrill divine
Down my spine.
Now gifted humans like Vincent Youmans
Might think that your song is bad,
But I got a notion
I'll second the motion
And this is what I'm going to add;

You're the top!
You're Mahatma Gandhi.
You're the top!
You're Napoleon Brandy.
You're the purple light
Of a summer night in Spain,
You're the National Gallery
You're Garbo's salary,
You're cellophane.
You're sublime,
You're turkey dinner,
You're the time, the time of a Derby winner
I'm a toy balloon that’s fated soon to pop
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

You're the top!
You're an arrow collar
You're the top!
You're a Coolidge dollar,
You're the nimble tread
Of the feet of Fred Astaire,
You're an O'Neill drama,
You're Whistler's mama!

You're camembert.
You're a rose,
You're Inferno's Dante,
You're the nose
On the great Durante.
I'm just in a way,
As the French would say, "de trop".
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

You're the top!
You're a dance in Bali.
You're the top!
You're a hot tamale.
You're an angel, you,
Simply too, too, too diveen,
You're a Botticelli,
You're Keats,
You're Shelly!

You're Ovaltine!
You're a boom,
You're the dam at Boulder,
You're the moon,
Over Mae West's shoulder,
I'm the nominee of the G.O.P.

Or GOP!

But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

You're the top!
You're a Waldorf salad.
You're the top!
You're a Berlin ballad.
You're the boats that glide
On the sleepy Zuider Zee,
You're an old Dutch master,

You're Lady Astor,
You're broccoli!
You're romance,
You're the steppes of Russia,
You're the pants, on a Roxy usher,
I'm a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop,

But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!
