Lordy – Cab Calloway

Hey, Lord

The night is friendly
The stars are winkin’
My sleepy-headed baby’s eyes are blinkin’
I hold him in my arms and sit here thinking
Lordy! What a sweet world

The night is friendly
With voices croonin’
And gals and fellows in the shadows spoonin’
And clouds that open up to let the moon in
Lordy! What a sweet world

Now, I ain’t callin’ this life perfect
But I am thanking my maker above
Because for everything
That you don’t like
There’s a million little things that you love, ooh

A bell is chimin’
To toll the hour
The sky is dripping light on every livin’ flower
It like to drown us in a silver shower
Lordy! What a sweet world

I’m so happy
Happy!
Happy to be livin’
Yes sir!
Livin’ on a friendly night
On a friendly night
In a friendly world
In a friendly world
My heart is happy
Thanks to the Lord!
