Cab Calloway Lordy Lyrics

Lordy Lyrics

Hey, Lord. 



The night is friendly, 

The stars are winkin', 

My sleepy-headed baby's eyes are blinkin,' 

I hold him in my arms and sit here thinking, 

Lordy! What a sweet world. 



The night is friendly, 

With voices croonin', 

And gals and fellows in the shadows spoonin', 

And clouds that open up to let the moon in, 

Lordy! What a sweet world. 



Now, I ain't callin' this life perfect, 

But I am thanking my maker above, 

Because for everything 

That you don't like, 

There's a million little things that you love, oooh. 



A bell is chimin', 

To toll the hour, 

The sky is dripping light on every livin' flower, 

It like to drown us in a silver shower, 

Lordy! What a sweet world. 



I'm so happy, 

Happy! 

Happy to be livin', 

Yes sir! 

Livin' on a friendly night, 

On a friendly night, 

In a friendly world, 

In a friendly world. 

My heart is happy, 

Thanks to the Lord!
