i'm writing now to give my throat a break and to let the house warm back up. i'm at my parents' place in connecticut, trying to record 'triple deke' in the basement with one microphone in one take. it's proving more difficult than i'd hoped.
see the thing is, the basement is super quiet, except when the furnace comes on. so you have to turn the furnace off. but then if it's a day like today, it's kinda cold in the basement and having the furnace off doesn't help much. in fact, the whole house is pretty cold now becuase i've been down there hollering for an hour with the furnace turned off.
so my voice keeps cracking like a choirboy's towards the end of the song, so i'm drinking some tea (celestial seasonings peppermint) and letting the furnace warm up the house a bit while i take a break.
anyway. hopefully i'll finish this song this weekend and put myself one step closer to finishing this record. it'll be nice to have the opening track in the bank. may your weekend be as majestic as the snow-capped rockies on the morning after winter's first gentle kiss.
ps: i might go to a native american gambling establishment tonight.
They call you lady luck
ReplyDeleteBut there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out
You're on this date with me,
The pickings have been lush
And yet before the evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners,
You might refuse to stay,
And so the best that I can do is pray
Luck be a lady tonight, luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with,
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see, how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you’ve treated other guys you’ve been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady wouldn't leave her escort,
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady wouldn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice
So, let's keep the party polite,
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I’m the fella you came in with,
Luck be a lady,
Mmm, luck be a lady,
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight,
Luck be a lady tonight,
Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight!
Yeah, luck let a gentleman see,
(Luck let a gentleman see)
How nice a dame you can be,
(how nice a dame you can be)
I know the way you’ve treated other guys you’ve been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady wouldn't flirt with strangers,
She’d have heart, she’d have a soul.
A lady wouldn't make little sneak eyes at me,
When I've bet my life on this roll.
So lets keep the party polite,
(So lets keep the party polite)
Never get out of my sight
(Never get out of my sight)
Stick with me baby,
I’m the fella you came in with,
Luck be a lady...
Luck be a lady...
Luck be a lady, lady...
Luck be a lady...
Luck be lady tonight!
