ATF: Showtunes II

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



I’m Alright
Kenny Loggins
I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight
Can't you just let it be

Do what you like
Doin' it naturally
But if it's too easy
They're gonna disagree
It's your life
Isn't it a mystery
If it's nobody's business
It's everybody's game
Got to catch ya later
Go on now
Get it for you right away
Some Cinderella kid
Get it up and get you a job
Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight
Can't you just let it be
I’m alright
I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't ya just let me be

Who do you want
Who you gonna be tonight
Who is it really
Making up your mind
You wanna listen to the man
Pay attention to the magistrate
And while I gotcha in the mood
Listen to your own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart
Don't it get ya movin' m-m-m-m-man
It makes me feel good
Some Cinderella kid
Well
Get it up and get you a job
Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip
I'm
Boom boom boom

I'm alright
I’m alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight
Can't you just let it be
Be the ball
Be the ball
I'm alright
I’m alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't ya just let me be
I'm alright
I’m alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight
Can't you just let it be
I'm alright
I'm alright
I'm alright
I’m alright
I’m alright
Just let me be
I'm alright
I'm alright
I'm alright
Just let me be
Everybody let me be



I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow
The Foggy Bottom Boys
In constant sorrow
All through his days

I am a man
Of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble
All my days
I bid farewell
To old Kentucky
The place where I
Was born and raised
The place where he
Was born and raised

For six long years
I've been in trouble
No pleasure here
On earth I’ve found
For in this world
I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends
To help me now
He has no friends
To help him now

For I'm bound to ride
That northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die
Upon this train
Perhaps he'll die
Upon this train

Maybe your friends think
I'm just a stranger
My face you never
Will see no more
But there is one promise
That is given
I'll meet you on
God's golden shore
He'll meet you on
God's golden shore

  1. A few years ago Kenny performed at a free outdoor concert here in Portland. I sat up close on the grass and listened to him, and was reminded of what a fabulous singer and musician he is.
