George Gershwin
Changing My Tune
[Verse 1: Tony Perkins]
Castles were crumbling and daydreams were tumbling
December was battling with June
But on this bright afternoon
Guess I'll be changing my tune
Kept on despairing beyond any caring
If I jumped out of a balloon
But I'm arranging from now
To be changing my tune
[Chorus: Tony Perkins]
At last, the skies are bright and shiny
It's a human world once more
Yesterday's troubles are tiny
What was I worried for?
Wanted a permit to make me a hermit
To grumble and glare at the moon
But I'm arranging from now
To be changing my tune
[Verse 2: Barbara Cook]
Yesterday, thе skies were black and I was bluе
Yesterday, alas, alack, I thought I was through
But knock on wood, my job looks good
And having found the dwelling
My happiness is beyond a'telling
No more the feeling that my world is reeling
No fearing I'll fall in a swamp
Problems are all picayune
That's why I'm changing my tune
Felt like a sailor adrift on a whaler
A'sailing into a typhoon
But I'm arranging from now
To be changing my tune
[Chorus: Barbara Cook, Tony Perkins]
At last, the skies are bright and shiny
It's a human world once more
Yesterday's troubles are tiny
What was I worried for?
No more resentment, I'm full of contentment
A float on a dreamy lagoon
And I'm arranging from now
To be changing my tune
And I'm arranging from now
To be changing my tune
