When my Uncle Sonny Blew back into town Said "I'll just go for a ride And have a look around." And he took off his fidora And 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 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 it Nothin's gonna take it away It's a fine, fine day, yeah First time I saw Sonny I was just about this tall And he always made my mama Kinda crazy when he'd call 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'd gotten himself into A little trouble out in town Sometime after that He finally disappeared for good Then he pulled out ol' 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 you ain't gonna sit no more They can't keep you there no more It's a fine, fine day, oh yeah And nothin's gonna take it Nothin's gonna take it away It's a fine, fine day, a fine day (Fine, fine day, a fine day) (Fine, fine day, a fine day) I see you made it back alright, alright I see you're none the worse for wear It's been a long time comin' Nothin's gonna drag you away from here Fine, fine day, oh yeah And nothin's gonna take it Nothin's gonna take it away, oh yeah Fine, fine day, oh yeah Fine, fine day, oh yeah And nothin's gonna take it Nothin's gonna take it away, away A fine, fine day, a fine day A fine day
