Lyrics van Tierney Sutton
Cheek to Cheek
We were poor when I was a young un
I don't remember ever going hungry
Daddy made sure we didn't do without
I went to school with some of these fellas
They had money and I was jealous
I didn't know then what I know now
Daddy'd say, "You can't judge a book
By looking at its cover
It's what's inside that really matters"
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
He said some things, just glitter and shine
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
I left home right out of high school
Got me a big car, thought I was real cool
Cruisin' around the old neighborhood
I'd see Daddy after church on Sunday
I'd say, "You'll have to go riding with me someday"
Just said, "No", I never understood
He asked me how I bought it
I told him on credit
Daddy just smiled, I'll never forget it
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
He said some things, just glitter and shine
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
It took a while but now I'm grown
I've settled down with kids of my own
The more I give them, more they want
Daddy left us last November
I don't remember him ever looking better
All laid out in his Sunday best
I'm sure instead of all that attention
All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
'A simple man, simply laid to rest'
As they drove him away in that big Cadillac
With a tear in my eye I had to laugh
'Cause Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
He said some things, just glitter and shine
Well just this once, I hope Daddy enjoyed the ride
'Cause Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
No, my Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

I Get a Kick Out of You
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you?
Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
Yet, I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you're
Standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to me
You obviously don't adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some guy in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
Yet, I get a kick out of you
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get my kick out of you?
Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
Yet, I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you're
Standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to me
You obviously don't adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some guy in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
Yet, I get a kick, I get a kick
I get my kicks out of you

Spring Is Here
Once there was a thing called spring
When the world was writing verses like yours and mine
All the boys and girls would sing
As we sat at little tables and drank May wine
Now April, May and June seem sadly out of tune
Life has stuck a pin in the balloon
Spring is here, why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here, why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here, spring is here, spring is here, I hear

The Lady Is a Tramp
I've wined and dined on Mulligan Stew
And never wished for turkey
As I hitched and hiked and grifted too
From Maine to Albuquerque
Alas, I missed the Beaux Arts Ball
And what is twice as sad
I was never at a party
Where they honored Noel Ca'ad
But social circles spin too fast for me
My 'Hobohemia' is the place to be
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theater but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I don't like crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the free, fresh wind in my hair
Life without care, I'm broke, it's o'k
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
I go to Coney, the beach is divine
I go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine
I follow Winchell and read every line
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like a prizefight that isn't a fake
I love the rowing on Central Park lake
I go to Opera and stay wide awake
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the green grass under my shoes
What can I lose? I'm flat, that's that
I'm all alone when I lower my lamp
That's why the lady, that's why the lady
That's why the lady is a tramp

Where or When
Sometimes you think you've lived before all that you live today
Things you do come back to you as if they knew the way
Oh, the tricks your mind can play
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the close you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again and so it seems we have met before
And laughed before and loved before but who knows where or when
