Fine And Dandy
Sonny Stitt Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I like your attitude
You are just the kind I've had in mind
Never could find
Honey, I'm so keen on you
I could come to lean on you
On a random bay, give you your way
Gee, it's all fine and dandy
Sugar candy, when I've got you
Then I only see the sunny side
Even trouble has it's funny side
When you're gone, my sugar candy
I get so lonesome, I get blue
But when you're handy
It's fine and dandy
But when you're gone
What can I do?

Please forgive this platitude
I apologize for making a clichéd statement
But I like your attitude
I appreciate the way you behave
You are just the kind I've had in mind
You are exactly what I've been looking for
Never could find
I had difficulty locating someone like you
Honey, I'm so keen on you
My dear, I am very enthusiastic about you
I could come to lean on you
I may depend on you in the future
On a random bay, give you your way
In a spontaneous moment, I would do what would make you happy
Do what you say
I will follow your instructions
Gee, it's all fine and dandy
Wow, everything is great and enjoyable
Sugar candy, when I've got you
Everything is sweet and delightful when I am with you
Then I only see the sunny side
I am optimistic and cheerful when you're around
Even trouble has it's funny side
Even difficult situations can be amusing if I am with you
When you're gone, my sugar candy
After you leave, my sweet and enjoyable life is gone
I get so lonesome, I get blue
I become very sad and lonely
But when you're handy
When you're available
It's fine and dandy
Everything is great and enjoyable
But when you're gone
After you leave
What can I do?
I don't know how to cope or what to do without you
