The Words to Darius' Big Band Songs

Bada Bing Bada Boom

I got kind of a kiss and a promise
got me looking for a new kind of honest
asked for truth but she came misquoted
wanted real but I got sugar coated
sychophants and cow girls all for the taking
they’ll say anything but they’re just faking
those three words doesn’t everybody speak ‘em
she’s the only one who taught me the meaning
taught me the meaning

Boom boom
she walks into the room
boom boom
and the rat pack swooned
boom boom
I fall into her groove
she had me when that lady sang her blues
bada bing bada boom
bada bing bada boom

She looks better in clothes
she looks better in makeup
don’t look so good when its strip buck naked
fortune favours the brave says the prophet
but who’s brave enough to speak the truth when you want it
It’s what I wanted

Boom boom
she walks into the room
boom boom
and the rat pack swooned
boom boom
I fall into her groove
she had me when that lady sang her blues
bada bing bada boom
bada bing bada boom

boom boom
I fall into her groove
she had me when that lady sang her blues
bada bing bada boom

I’m loving the way that you feed my mind
I’m loving the way that you’re on my side
you set me free
you made an honest man out of me
bada bing bada boom
she don’t know how to lie
no politician
too true it seems
is a rare condition
everywhere you turn there’s a spin and a deal
who knows anymore what’s for real
I know she’s for real

boom boom
she walks into the room
boom boom
and the rat pack swooned
boom boom
I fall into her groove
she had me when that lady sang her blues
bada bing bada boom
bada bing bada boom

and the rat pack swooned
boom boom
I fall into her groove
she had me when that lady sang her blues
bada bing bada boom
bada bing bada boom

Crazy Love

Twinkle twinkle little star
how I wonder who you are
I’ll ride this rocket to your heart
if it takes a lifetime it’s not too far
you’re my pleasures
you’re my pain
equal measure just the same
helter skelter round again
now don’t you ever ever change
cos it’s heaven here in your arms
feel each jump of your beating heart
tells me we’ll never fall apart
cos this is love, this is love, crazy love

That’s love,
crazy love
that’s love
that’s enough
that’s love
crazy love

You’re my sunshine
you’re my rain
you changed the weather
made your day
your imperfections
are so blind
can’t believe that you’re all mine

Cos it’s heaven here in your arms
feel each jump of your beating heart
feels that we’ll never fall apart
cos this is love, this is love, crazy love
crazy love
crazy love
that’s love
that’s love
crazy love
that’s love
that’s enough
that’s love
crazy love

It’s heaven here in your arms
feel each jump of your beating heart
tells me we’ll never fall apart
cos this is love, this is love, crazy love
crazy love
that’s love
crazy love
that’s love
that’s enough
that’s love
crazy love

It’s the dimple in your cheek
when you’re laughing just for me
it’s the fire in your eyes
when you catch me in a lie

Cos it’s heaven here in your arms
feel each jump of your beating heart
know that we’ll never fall apart
cos this is love, this is love, crazy love
that’s love
crazy love

Everybody Wants to be Jack

It’s not so much she’s unavailable
it’s more that she’s just so adorable

She’s the girl that someone else owns
she’s so beautiful in her bones
she’s so lovely she’d put heaven on the map
the way she moves is bound to get you
but she’s strictly off the menu
and she seals it when she looks at him like that

Everyone wants to be Jack
everyone wants to be Jack
everybody wants to be Jack
everyone wants to be Jack
everybody wants to be Jack

She’s the song I love to sing
the smell of honey in the Spring
every dream my heart could ever hold
I want be the one that she adores
I see her standing there before me
unaware she lights the room with gold

She’s the girl that someone else owns
she’s so beautiful in her bones
she’s so lovely she’d put heaven on the map
the way she moves is bound to get you
but she’s strictly off the menu
and she seals it when she looks at him like that

Everyone wants to be Jack
everyone wants to be Jack
everybody wants to be Jack
everyone wants to be Jack
everybody wants to be Jack

She’s the kiss of snow
you melt into her eyes
they mesmerise each true red blooded man
she ever gets to know
she’s what I imagine love to be
a mona lisa mystery
the main attraction everywhere she goes

She’s my fatal fascination
and I’d have no hesitation
if she gave some indication she might crack
but she seems absolutely smitten
and I swear that I’m not bitter
but I wish she’d realise he ain’t worth Jack

Everyone wants to be Jack

???????? the fascination
????????remonstrating
the kind of guy who likes to wait

everybody wants to be Jack

He’s the guy that never rings
though she wonders where he’s been
all she ever sees is him

everybody wants to be Jack

everyone wants to be Jack
everybody wants to be Jack
everyone wants to be Jack
everybody wants to be Jack
