The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes his hand
And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things
The Rat Pack's Once In A Lifetime is a song about seizing an opportunity that presents itself once in a lifetime. The opening lines speak of a moment in a man's life when fate takes his hand and changes everything. The song's narrator sees himself as fortunate enough to have arrived at that moment where he can explore a new and exciting land on a journey that comes only once in his lifetime.
The lyrics in the chorus reveal the sense of empowerment that comes with this realization. The singer feels like a giant, soaring like an eagle, and ready to take on anything that comes his way. He is responding to a call from his destiny and understands that this is his chance to do great things.

An actual joke made by Sinatra and Martin at the Sands.
Sinatra (holding a bottle): Hey Dean, how do you make a fruit cordial?
Dean (drinking). Hm?
Sinatra: I said how do you make a fruit cordial?
Martin: Be nice to him!

I was singing "Hey there fruity" all day at work. I have a meeting with HR in the morning.
@sc1077

@damasek219
Do I understand correctly that HR means Horrible Rat?

Jesus I’m dead. I lost it. Well played, sir.
@brenthill3241
Well then it's sensitivity training or time to polish up that resume.
@Badgerthegreat
I love the fact that they seem to be performing all these songs in the same venue, implying that the Rat Pack got together for a one-night live concert dedicated solely to bigotry.
@greensonickid3304
By the looks of it, the ad is filmed there as well
@thesmithersy
Of course, back then. That language was acceptable.
@Norvo82
You mean like an actual Rat Pack show from the late 50s and 60s? There are plenty of recordings of those Vegas performances that make this clip seem tame. Frank and Dean's on stage banter was something else...
