It's madness To be always sitting around in sadness, When you could be learning the steps of gladness. You'll be happy when you can do Just six or seven;
Begin to day! You'll find it nice, The quickest way to paradise. When you practice, Here's the thing to do, Simply say as you go...
I'll build a stairway to Paradise With a new step ev'ry day! I'm gonna get there at any price; Stand aside, I'm on my way! I've got the blues And up above it's so fair. Shoes! Go on and carry me there! I'll build a stairway to Paradise With a new step every day.

Sir and Cocky bask in the joys in living in the “driver’s seat” of life.
View Lyrics
From the moment I woke with the lark, We were both of us singing away, And the sky was so blue I instinctively knew We were in for a wonderful day.
As I told you before When I saw what I saw, I was terribly tempted to say:
On a wonderful day like today, I defy any cloud to appear in the sky, Dare any raindrop to plop in my eye On a wonderful day like today.
On a wonderful morning like this When the sun is as big as a yellow balloon; Even the sparrows are signing in tune On a wonderful morning like this.
On a morning like this I could kiss ev'rybody, I'm so full of love and good will. Let me say furthermore, I'd adore ev'rybody To come and dine -- the pleasure's mine -- And I will play the bill!
May I take this occasion to say That the whole human race Should go down on its knees, Show that we're grateful For mornings like these For the world's in a wonderful way On a wonderful day like today.
On a wonderful day like today When the sky is as grey as an elephant's's nose, Half of me's freezing - the other half's froze! On a wonderful day like today - I'm only joking!
May I take this occasion to pray For a little less cold and a little more heat. Even the sparrows are stamping their feet; If they spoke I know just what they'd say! On a wonderful day like today.
On a wonderful day ... Yes, Sir, what did you say? A fantabulous day! Don't get carried away. On a wonderful day like today!

The first nickel I ever earned, I keep in a little silver frame. It's how I gave my company a name, Reminding me how very far I came!
I was a Maker of the silhouettes Who made a small improvement- A little book of silhouettes That simulated movement. Well, people seemed to like it, Soon the money's going clink! And I'm buffalo nickel photoplay, inc!
I go from Silhouettes to photos. I invent a small projector, And soon, I'm making movies And they're calling me director!
An industry is dawning And I'm standing on the brink- Mister buffalo nickel photoplay, inc!
Life shines from the shadow screen Comical, yet infinitely true. People love to see what people do, Here where everyone is someone new.
Such tales from the shadow screen! Little men who never get the breaks, Fighting on till something fin'lly takes- What a lovely movie it all makes!
Well, business is booming I'm happy to say. I just made a contract To film for pathe A series of chapters That end in suspense- Each week, see what's next For another five cents!
And I am Waking every morning Filled with such anticipation! I frame the sea, I frame the sky. And this is my vacation.
I shake your hand, I kiss your hand, I buy you all a drink! And maybe if you chance to see A movie that was made by me Remember when the name goes by That's ash-k-e-n-a-z-y
The baron, now american, Who happened once to think Of silhouette and flicker book And movies as they're meant to look And buffalo nickel photoplay, inc! Action!

There's Tommy Flanagan Who lights the gas lamps- A hundred ninety lamps In Phoenix park alone. He's done it drunk For over fifty-seven years In Dublin!
And down on Henry street is Mad John Maher- Old ramblin' Johnny with a face like hammered meat! But Johnny's singin' brings a Dublin man to tears.
I don't know The words to tell you how it feels Or how to put it in a rhyme, But if you come with me you'll know
How the lamps in the park Look like god in the dark As they glow On the streets of Dublin
The dealers hawkin' and the dockers yellin' The buskers bangin' and the ragmen ringin' bells, And there's Maureen whose door is always open for All Dublin!
And Tony Kiely with his racing pigeons. It's like religon how he lives to fly those birds- He swears they travel for a hundred miles or more.
I don't know The kind of words that you might say But I can put it my own way, And if you come with me you'll know That those birds on the wing Are a beautiful thing As they blow Through the streets of Dublin
And there's music like nothin' you've heard If you know the right jukebox to play! There are glasses to raise in the praise Of survivin' the day...
Down where Miss Kitty Farrelly is pourin' whiskey And Frankie Donahughe is lighting her cigar. A smokey den where workin' men don't bring the wife...
It's the laughter of fellas with stories to tell, Men who love to get drunk and raise true fuckin' hell! Ah, you come out with me and you'll see what you're missin' in life
On the Streets of Dublin On the Streets of Dublin On the Streets of Dublin On the Streets of Dublin

Got some years ahead to go You’ll go free if you take it slow Oh boy you got left, right oh boy, ain’t that right
Two kinds of people in this world Some say yes and some say no Time to say which side you’re on Eeeny meeny miney moe
Say yes and your adventure start Not always as expected Say no you stay apart But you stay protected
You’ve got to give your self A reason to rejoice Cause the music you make Counts for everything Now every living soul has got a voice You’ve got to give it room And let it sing
My family never had too much Made the best of every day Ate what’s on our plates you know Never threw a thing away We kept our nightmares on the shelf Our dreams were on the table Pass ‘em down and help your self As long as you are able
My momma told me Son forget what might have been Give yourself a break whatever’s happening Don’t let your spirit, son, come closing in You gotta give it room and let it, let it sing You gotta give it room and let it sing Oh you gotta lift up your voice and sing
Got some years ahead to go You’ll go free if you take it slow Got some years it won’t be long You’ll be free to sing your song
Oh boy you got left, right Oh boy
There's precious little really folks like us controlled But you can make your music from the simplest thing And though no one has got to tend your soul You’ve got to give it room and let it Let it sing You’ve got to give it room and let it sing
You’ve got to let it sing You got to let it sing You got to give it room And let it sing

Some people cry at hellos and farewells, Some people cry at nostalgia with bells, Some cry at weddings, some at the moon, I cry promptly Mondays at high noon. Some people cry at Vienna or Rome, This one is mine, Cookie, this one is home. Look, they even painted the damn sky Just so Leona could come here and cry.
Let's build a city... where should it be? How about the middle of that sea?
Some people cry when they see their old pals, Me, I'm a sucker for chimes and canals. Look, they even painted the damn sky Just so Leona could come here And stand like a lump Dripping wet with no shoes on At noon on a Monday And cry.
