When my Uncle Sonny blew back into town

I'd just go for a ride and have a look around

Took off his fedora

Stuck his fingers in the crown

And he pulled out twenty dollars

And he laid that money down

And he called out to a taxi cab "take me down to Central Park

and keep that meter runnin' to the twenty dollar mark"

And he kept his eyes turned forward

And he sat up straight and tall

And no one even noticed him

No one cared at all



Chorus:

It's a fine fine day for a reunion

It's a fine fine day for comin' home

You did your sittin' you did hard time

But you ain't gonna sit no more

They can't keep you there no more

It's a fine fine day

And nothin's gonna take you,

Nothin's take you away

It's a fine fine day

Oh, yeh



The last time I saw Sonny I was just about this tall

And he always made my momma kinda crazy when he called

And him and my old man would stand and whisper in the hall

Then they'd disappear and maybe not come home at all

Then one day, Sonny stopped comin' around

Heard he got himself into a little trouble

out in town

Sometime after that he finally disappeared for good

But he pulled that old Houdini like we always knew he would



It's a fine fine day for a reunion

It's a fine fine day for comin' home

You did your sittin' you did hard time

But cha ain't gonna sit no more

They can't keep you there no more

It's a fine fine day, oh yeh

And nothin's gonna drag you

Nothin's gonna drag you away, oh yeh

It's a fine fine day, fine day

(back up singers:

"oooooo a fine fine day, fine day

oooooo a fine fine day, fine day")



I see you made it back alright, alright-aca
