Ray Charles - Max And Frieda - Silver Wedding Anniversary - Текст песни

[Verse 1]
1911 for his parents' 25th wedding anniversary
First known surviving lyric
Music to the tune of irving berlin's, "alexander's ragtime band"
Oh, my hubby, put your hat on
Better hurry, the taxi's waiting
We are going, surely going
To the big array-silver wedding day
Better hurry, better hurry-
Lord, we don't want to come too late, dear
Come now, somehow, better hurry along

[Chorus]
So clink your glass, each lad and lass
For max and frieda's wedding day

[Verse 2]
Put on a smile, make life worthwhile-
Let each wrinkle shout hooray!
For life is much too short and time will always fly-
One, two, twenty-five, the years go rolling by
This is the bestest night of all-let the laughter fall
Years of joy, max a boy, at full two score is well
And mrs. Hart still plays her part
Though her age i dare not tell
But if you want to make the evening seem like the dear old times

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Way, way back, dear, '86 dear
Things were not just like they are now, dear-
I was young, dear, you were young, dear
And we didn't plan to help the census man
Silver streaks, dear, in my hair, dear
But our hearts, dear, are as young as ever
Come now, somehow, jolly up and be young
In diesen haus lass saus und braus
Konige von allem sein
Drink a pile, it's worth your while
Hab die katz im morgenschein
For life is much too short and the years are rolling by-
Eins, zwei, funf-und-zwanzig
Let the old times fly
This in the bestest night of all-
Let the laughter fall
Nur einmal ist es erlaubt
Dass der mensch gut leben kann
Die zeit fliegt ja und sorg beraubt
Alle jugend von dem mann
So if you want to make the evening seem like the dear old times

[Outro]
Clink your glass, each lad and lass
Zu der silberfestigung
