Frankie

[Verse 1]

I remember the day

He told me to do it my way

I've been me ever since then

And when I learned the blues

I was walking in his shoes

I've worn them again and again

Although I thought it was unfair

Daddy was never there

The chairman took his his place there

So I don't understand

My resemblance to the man

But I can see it in my face

[Chorus]

I say what's on my mind

And I'm one of a kind

As the years progress

He watches me; impressеd

[Verse 2]

I rocked the style I chosе

Because Anything Goes

And I always stand out in a crowd

My phrasing plays the role

Of Frankie's breath control

Always strive to make my Papa proud

Provide me with escape

And give me creative shape

When I hear Ol' Big Blue Eyes in the Stands

He taught me how to swing

To his memory I cling

Hold the microphone with both hands

[Chorus]

I say what's on my mind

And I'm one of a kind

As the years progress

He watches me; impressed
