Lordy - Original - Cab Calloway and His Orchestra

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!
