The Standard

Take 6 The Standard Lyrics
1.Sweet Georgia Brown

Well, let me tell you
Well, now chick made could be the same as sweet Georgia Brown
Crazy feet that dance so neat as sweet Georgia Brown
Fellas sigh and even cry for sweet Georgia Brown
I tell you just why, you know I don't lie

It's been said she knocks 'em dead in any old town
Since the came right it's a shame how she brings 'em down
In Liverpool she even dared to criticize the Beatles' hair
With their whole fan club standing there
I mean sweet Georgia Brown

I say this group is absolutely marvelous with the piano
Don't you think so?
Not too commercial, boys, not too commercial

When it comes to music sweet Georgia is known to mind
Don't know buy clothes at fashion shows but she still looks fine
Snap chicks cry, they want to die when Georgia does the twist
I never would try to tell you just why, use your imagination

There's a DJ crazy for her living in our hometown
Since she came it's a shame she turns him down
Records that she can get are records they ain't sent him yet
Carolina may have Dina but that don't have Georgia Brown

Oh, that sweet Georgia
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean Brown
Oh, oh, oh, sweet Georgia Brown


2.Straighten Up And Fly Right

Lyricist:Nat King Cole, Irving Mills

Alright, a buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to follow the monkey off his back
The monkey grabbed his neck and said, 'Now listen, Jack'

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

Ain't no use in divin'
What's the use in jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey, 'You are choking me
Release your hold and I will set you free'
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
He said, 'Your story's so touching but it sounds just like a
lie'

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top, let's go

The buzzard told the monkey, 'You are choking me
Release your hold and I will set you free'
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
He said, 'Your story's so touching but it sounds just like a
lie'

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top

Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Well, straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top


3.Seven Steps To Heaven


4.Windmills Of Your Mind

Lyricist:Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, Michel Legrand

Round like the circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel

Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone

Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that I said?

Lovers walk along the shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?

Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or a fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?

When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of his hair?

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that I said?

Lovers walk along the shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?

Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or a fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?

When you knew that it was over
In the autumn of goodbyes
For a moment you could not recall
The color of his eyes?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel

As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind


5.Someone To Watch Over Me

(feat. Shelea Frazier)

There's an old saying, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So i'm going to seek, a man
That i've had, in mind...

There's a somebody i'm longing to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who'll watch---over me
{Yea...}

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the woods
I know i could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome {ooo}
To my heart he carries the key...{yea, yea}
The key...

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Baby won't ya follow my lead...oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me {yea}

Ohhhh, yea. I need you to watch over me
I need you to watch over me, hey---
I need you to watch over me---
Ooo, i need you to guide me
I need to have you {ooo, yea}
I need you to watch over me
I need you. {hey}
I gotta have you, i gotta have you baby
{Wooo} i gotta have you
To watch over me {ohhhh}
Watch over me {watch over me}
Follow my lead, watch over me

Hey, yea
