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 around"
And he took off his fedora
and stuck his fingers in the crown
And he pulled out 20 dollars
and he laid that money down

And he called out to a taxi cab
"Take me down to Central Park
and keep that meter running
to the 20 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

(chorus)
It's a fine fine day
for a reunion
It's a fine fine day
for coming 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 nothing's gonna take you
nothing's gonna take you away
It's a fine fine day, fine day

First time I saw Sonny
I was just about this tall And 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 disappear
and maybe not come home at all

Then one day Sonny stopped coming around
Heard he'd gotten himself into
a little trouble in town
Sometime after that he
finally disappeared for good
Then he pulled that old Houdini
like we always knew he would

(chorus)

(ooh ooh, a fine fine day, fine day)
(ooh ooh, a fine fine day, fine day)

I see you made it back alright, alright
I see you're none the worse for wear
It's been a long time comin'
Nothing's gonna drag you away from here

A fine fine day
And nothing's gonna take you
nothing's gonna take you away
Oh yeah, a fine fine day, oh yeah
a fine day

(repeat to fade)
