"A sight for sore eyes, it’s a long time no see
Workin hard hardly workin hey man, you know me
Water under the bridge, did you see my new car?
Well, it’s bought and it’s payed for, parked outside of the bar
And hey barkeep, what’s keepin you, keep pourin drinks
For all these palookas, hey, you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days and DiMaggio too
And old Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
Oh, you know, the old gang ain’t around, everyone has left town
‘cept for Thumm and Giardina, said they just might be down
Oh, half drunk all the time and I’m all drunk the rest
Yeah, Monk’s still the champion, oh but I am the best
And hey barkeep, what’s keepin you, keep pourin drinks
For all these palookas, hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days and DiMaggio too
And old Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
Guess you heard about Nash, he was killed in a crash
Oh, that must have been two or three years ago now
Yeah, he spun out and he rolled, he hit a telephone pole
And he died with the radio on
No, she’s married, with a kid, finally split up with Sid
He’s up North for a nickel’s worth for armed robbery
And I’ll play you some pinball, no you ain’t got a chance
Then go on over and ask her to dance
And hey barkeep, what’s keepin you, keep pourin drinks
For all these palookas, hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days and DiMaggio too
And Drysdale and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you"

Sukiyaki Lyrics (by Rokusuke Ei, Hachidai Nakamura, Kyu Sakamoto )
"Ue o muite arukoo
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni
Omoidasu haru no hi
Hitoribotchi no yoru
Ue o muite arukoo
Nijinda hoshi o kazoete
Omoidasu natsu no hi
Hitoribotchi no yoru
Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni
Shiawase wa sora no ue ni
Ue o muite arukoo
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni
Nakinagara aruku
Hitoribotchi no yoru
(whistling)
Omoidasu aki no hi
Hitoribotchi no yoru
Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni
Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni
Ue o muite arukoo
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni
Nakinagara aruku
Hitoribotchi no yoru
(whistling)"

Don’t Miss You At All
Duke Ellington with lyrics by Norah Jones
"As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I hear children playin', laughin' so loud
I don't think of your smile
So if you never come to me
You'll stay a distant memory...
Out my window, I see lights going dark
Your dark eyes don't haunt me
And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand...
And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand...
As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all"
