Lyrics River, Stay 'Way from My Door (Parody) (Live At the Sands, Las Vegas/1961) - Frank Sinatra

Uh, the parody session now?
(This one or the second one?)
Yeah, we'll do the parody and then what, then what else you got?
Yeah, and then you got the, the, the...
Yeah, alright, yeah, Tony
Sure, I don't care
Play any goddamn thing you want, just make it sound good
There has been a lot of talk
There's always a lot of talk
For about, I don't know, maybe 35 years now
People have been buying and selling aeroplanes, right?
I bought an aeroplane
You'd think I set off a 50 megaton bomb the way this thing has come across
Well, I'd like to sing a little parody about my aeroplane
It's really a glider
It's got the fattest rubber band on it that you ever saw
Jeez
The reason I have to read this off the paper is that I've never seen it before
Anyway, we wrote a little so-, we wrote a little song
The fella wrote a melody and uh, Sammy Cahn wrote some lyrics for me
And I'd like to, uh, I'd like to dedicate this to the president of the Sands Hotel
(Yeah)
Yeah, that's his secretary who's howlin' yeah
That's kind of fun actually
Work drives me insane now
I've got my own plane now
And try to stay away from my door
Don't call me no more
When I get the blues now
I do like Howard Hughes now
Without sneakers
And try to stay away from my door
(You thrilled so far?)
(Thank you)
(You're drunk)
Got a whole new idea
Planes are more my speed
(It's a nice key too isn't it)
Take my old dual gear
And shove it in Lake Mead
You can bet the key will be changed for the next show, pal
When I'm up there wingin'
I'm really ring-a-ding-a-dingin'
And try to stay away from my door
Scoby-duba-dub-dub
(Faster)
I don't want what you've offered
(Where was I?)
Which was not a lot
Don't forget I've got Lawford
And you know who Lawford's got
And through space I'm tearing
I'm the Italian Yuri Gagarin
And try to stay away from my door
Stay away, get away, roll away
You dirty old mother, you
And try to keep away from my door
