Lyrics:
Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis
(Chorus)
Face the music you've got hope
Face it face it and you'll chase it far away
Come face the music and make your worry
Hurry, scurry not a care will dare to stay
The drums are drumming you should be humming
Joy is coming coming for to make you gay
So blow the trumpets bang the cymbals when they start to play
Face the music, play the music, every day's a happy day
(JL)
I want to march
Face the music when you've got trouble
Face it face it and you'll chase it far away
Just face the music you'll make your worry
Hurry, scurry not a care will bear to stay
The drums are drumming you should be humming
Joy is coming coming for to make you gay
So blow the trumpet bang the cymbal when they start to play
Face the music face the music, every day's a happy day
Fall in
Face the music play the music
Every day's a happy day...
Except
Rain comes from the clouds,
And sun lights up the sky,
And humming birds do fly.
(humming, humming, humming, humming)
Humming bird, humming bird should be your name,
(humming bird should be your name)
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame,
(too restless, too wild to tame)
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame,
Humming bird, humming bird should be your name.
Left New York this morning early
Traveling south so wide and high
Sailing through the wide blue yonder
It's that Airmail Special on the fly
Listen to the motors humming
She is streaking through the sky
Like a bird that's flying homeward
It's that Airmail Special on the fly
Over plains and high dark mountains
Over rivers deep and wide
Carrying mail to California
It's that Airmail Special on the fly
Watch her circle for the landing
Hear her moan and cough and sigh
Now she's coming down the runway
It's that Airmail Special on the fly
Left New York this morning early
Traveling south so wide and high
Sailing through the wide blue yonder
It's that air mail special on the fly
Listen to the motors humming
She is streaking through the sky
Like a bird that's flying homeward
It's that air mail special on the fly
Over plains and high dark mountains
Over rivers deep and wide
Carrying mail to California
It's that air mail special on the fly
Watch her circle for the landing
Hear her moan and cough and sigh
Now she's coming down the runway
It's that air mail special on the fly
Left New York this morning early
Traveling south so wide and high
Sailing through the wide blue yonder
It's that air mail special on the fly
Listen to the motors humming
She is streaking through the sky
Like a bird that's flying homeward
It's that air mail special on the fly
Over plains and high dark mountains
Over rivers deep and wide
Carrying mail to California
It's that air mail special on the fly
Watch her circle for the landing
Hear her moan and cough and sigh
Now she's coming down the runway
It's that air mail special on the fly
Left New York this morning early
Traveling south so wide and high
Sailing through the wide blue yonder
It's that Air Mail Special on the fly
Listen to the motors humming
She is streaking through the sky
Like a bird that's flying homeward
It's that Air Mail Special on the fly
Over plains and high dark mountains
Over rivers deep and wide
Carrying mail to California
It's that Air Mail Special on the fly
Watch her circle for the landing
Hear her moan and cough and sigh
Now she's coming down the runway
It's that Air Mail Special on the fly
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm lazy as a lion
My body's just for you
Crazy for you
I'm sneaky as a snake
I'm dirty as a dog
I'm rutting like a goat
I'm horny as a hog
Terrifying love
I get these strange, strange, strange, desires
Strange, strange, strange, desires
You're graceful as a bird
My heart is on the wing
You're gentle as a dove
A humming bird could sing
Crazy
You're running like a deer
I'm wily as a fox
You're faster than a mare
I'm stronger than an ox
Terrifying love
I get these strange, strange, strange, desires
Strange, strange, strange, desires
Strange, strange, strange, desires
I'm faithful as a swan
Darker than a bat
Friendly as a bear
But tougher than a rat
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm restless as a cat
All caged up in a zoo
Terrifying love
I get these strange, strange, strange, desires
Strange, strange, strange, desires
Strange, strange, strange, desires
Crazy 'bout ya
Crazy for ya
Crazy
(humming, humming, humming, humming)
Humming bird, humming bird should be your name,
(humming bird should be your name)
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame,
(too restless, too wild to tame)
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame,
Humming bird, humming bird should be your name.
(humming, humming, humming, humming)
Humming bird, humming bird should be your name,
(humming bird should be your name)
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame,
(too restless, too wild to tame)
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame,
Humming bird, humming bird should be your name.
Take a little walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Man, you know
You're never coming back
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat
With a red right hand
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Man, you know
You're never coming back
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat
With a red right hand
Left New York this morning early
Traveling south so wide and high
Sailing through the wide blue yonder
It's that air mail special on the fly
Listen to the motors humming
She is streaking through the sky
Like a bird that's flying homeward
It's that air mail special on the fly
Over plains and high dark mountains
Over rivers deep and wide
Carrying mail to California
It's that air mail special on the fly
Watch her circle for the landing
Hear her moan and cough and sigh
Now she's coming down the runway
It's that air mail special on the fly
You know where I come from
You know what I feel
You're Yul Brynner Westworld
Reporting from the field
I threw it into reverse
Made a motion to repeal
You kicked my legs from under me
And tried to take the wheel
I told you I wanted to be wrong
But everyone is humming a song
That I don't understand
Now I know that the sun has shined on my side of the street
The basket of America, the weevils and the wheat
The milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple-cheeked
Salute Apollo 13 from the rattle jewelry seats
Mythology's seductive and it turned a trick on me
That I have just begun to understand
I told you I wanted to be wrong
But everyone is humming a song
That I don't understand
The rodeo is staged, gold circle goat-ropers and clowns
A rumble in the third act, tie 'em up and burn 'em down
We're armed to the teeth, born a little breech
Blue-plate special analysts, cells and SUV's
We can't approach the Allies 'cause they seem a little peeved
And speak a language we don't understand
I told you I wanted to be wrong
But everyone is humming a song
That I don't understand
Prop up The Omega Man, we're primed for victory
God gave us the upper hand, there's honor among thieves
Temper it with arrogance, a dash of sad conceit
The top's down on the T-Bird, we're the children of the free
Storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite
Did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets?
1.What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded
On the pages of God's Holy Word.
2. All the other birds are flocking 'round her
She is despised by the squad
But the great speckled bird in the Bible
Representing the great church of God.

Crucifix, tell me you can fix
Anytime I need, I'mma start jotting everything in my diary
Never would you lie to me
Always camaraderie, I can see, our days been numbered
Revelation greatest as we hearing the last trumpet
All man, child, woman, life completely went in reverse
I guess I'm running in place trying to make it to church
Young nigga act an ass
Young nigga act a fool
Young nigga get yo' cash
Young nigga do what it do
Young nigga go, young nigga go
Young nigga go, young nigga go
Whatever makes all of you happy in this bitch
Just take it all back before the light switch
She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy humming songs to a girl in a yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess
The four kings of emi are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin with few and plastered hair
There's talcum powder on the letter and the birthday boy is there
Why don't you cut your hair?
In a shingle covered cottage at the foothills of blue stacks
Near a mountain stream that's flowing crystal clear
Where the humming birds and honey bees feed on Mama's roses
My mem'ries just grow sweeter with the years
Mem'ries of my childhood are as sweet as mountain honey
And as fresh as a dew on morning glory vines
I grew up surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature
And they're forever present in my mind
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home
Headed in the wrong direction home
There's no place like home
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home
Teardrops mingled with the summer rain that was a falling
The day I left my mountain home behind
With a suitcase in my hand and a hope in my heart
I was following a dream I had to find
In that shingled covered cottage at the foothills of the smokies
Waits a family hat I'm longing to see
And mountain streams and fields of green
And rolling hills stay in my dreams
But I'm many, many miles from Tennessee
And still headed in the wrong direction home
Headed in the wrong direction home
But maybe I'll get back before too long
But I'm headed in the wrong direction home
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
I'm a ghost
Living in a ghost town
I'm a ghost
Living in a ghost town
You can look for me
But I can't be found
You can search for me
I had to go underground
Life was so beautiful
Then we all got locked down
Feel a like ghost
Living in a ghost town, yeah
Once this place was humming
And the air was full of drumming
The sound of cymbals crashing
Glasses were all smashing
Trumpets were all screaming
Saxophones were blaring
Nobody was caring if it's day or night
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
I'm a ghost
Living in a ghost town
I'm going nowhere
Shut up all alone
So much time to lose
Just staring at my phone
Every night I am dreaming
That you'll come and creep in my bed
Please let this be over
Not stuck in a world without end
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Preachers were all preaching
Charities beseeching
Politicians dealing
Thieves were happy stealing
Widows were all weeping
There's no beds for us to sleep in
Always had the feeling
It will all come tumbling down
I'm a ghost
Living in a ghost town
You can look for me
But I can't be found
Whoa, oh
We're all living in a ghost town
Whoa, oh
Oh, living in a ghost town
Whoa, oh
We were so beautiful
Whoa, oh
I was your man about town
Whoa, oh
Living in this ghost town
Whoa, oh
Ain't having any fun
Whoa, oh
If I want a party
Whoa, oh
It's a party of one
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh

Siren is bending, the radio humming
Sun is breaking through and the storm is coming
The score is obscure, the melody fractured
It went by my window, refused to be captured
I hope that I wake up in time
Good King Neptune came flipping up my street
He was a sad case tripping up the staircase
Friends and relations are laughing at my head
Gathered like crows at the end of my bed
I hope that I wake up in time
If you can't or can't quite
Think again, you can't fight
That you might not be smite
If it's wrong, it's not right
I say it once and I'll say it again
Now and forever and ever, amen
Siren is bending, the radio is humming,
Who do you love now and who are you damning?
She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy humming songs to a girl in a yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess
The four kings of emi are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin with few and plastered hair
There's talcum powder on the letter and the birthday boy is there
Why don't you cut your hair?
