I was walking along, minding my business When out of an orange colored sky Flash, bam, alakazam Wonderful you came by I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine When out of that orange colored view Flash, bam, alakazam I got a look at you One look and I yelled timber Watch out for flying glass 'Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out I went into a spin and I started to shout I've been hit This is it, this is it I was walking along minding my business When love came and hit me in the eye Flash, bam, alakazam Out of an orange colored sky

I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air, They fly so high, nearly reach the sky, Then like my dreams they fade and die. Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere, I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air.

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin' Why mess around with strife? I never was cut out to step and strut out Give me the simple life Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant Those things roll off my knife Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes Give me the simple life A cottage small is all I'm after Not one that's spacious and wide A home that rings with joy and laughter And the ones you love inside Some like the high road, I like the low road Free from the grief and strife Sounds corny and seedy, but, yes, indeedy Give me the simple life

Stardust 07:45
And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wandered down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder how I spend The lonely night Dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairytale Of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody A memory of love's refrain

Easy To Love 03:03
You'd be so easy to love So easy to idolize All others above So worth the yearning for So swell to keep every homefire burning for We'd be so grand at the game So carefree together That it does seem a shame That you can't see Your future with me 'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love
6.
What's the use of getting sober When you're gonna get drunk again Oh Sam done something fine When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine I love my whiskey and I love my gin Every time you see me I'm in my sin So what's the use of getting sober When you're gonna get drunk again I went out last night about half past one Thought I'd whoop it up a little and have some fun I got me a half pint about half past two Mmm, mmm, the way I was feeling you know what I wanna do Got me a pint about half past four Felt so good, went out and got me some more Got me a quart about half past five Boy, that was so nice didn't know if I was dead or alive So what's the use of getting sober If you're gonna get drunk again Oh Sam done something fine When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine I love my whiskey and I love my gin Every time you see me I'm in my sin So what's the use of getting sober When you're gonna get drunk again
7.
You go to my head You linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round In my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two The thrill of the thought That you might give a thought To my plea, casts a spell over me Still I say to myself Get ahold of yourself Can't you see that it never can be You go to my head with a smile That makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance In this crazy romance You go to my head, you go to my head
8.
When I'm happy When I'm happy Singing all the while I don't need nobody then to show me how to smile. When I've been out on a spree Toddling down the street With this little melody Everyone I greet Show me the way to go I'm tired and I wanna go to bed I had a little drink About an hour ago And it's gone straight To my head Where ever I may roam On land or sea or form You can always hear me Singing a song Show me the way to your home

about

Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition finalist Hailey Brinnel’s debut album I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles stands distinct from its contemporaries musically. Where much of today’s new jazz releases focus on modern melodies and influences, Brinnel’s debut is rooted firmly in the original intentions of 1920s-1940s jazz, arranged such that the energy is preserved but new life is undoubtedly breathed into them. Acclaimed trumpeter Terell Stafford praises Brinnel for “honoring the history of this music” and sounding “so pure and soulful” that “I can’t stop listening!” Brinnel’s music does not seek to water down that of her forerunners to make it appeal to current generations; rather she presents this music in such a way that amplifies their characteristics and integrity, fully relying on that infectious spirit that made jazz popular to begin with.
