Some Other Time

Some Other Time -Betty Carter

Laughin' till it pisses everybody off

Pullin' up my dress at a dinner meeting

Kissin' till my lips are ready to fall off

Screamin' all night then just say I'm singin'

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

Gold butterflies and gum on a string

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

But doin' nothin' is my favorite one

Cashin' in on the glory of my biggest mistakes

fading in the grass basking in the sunlight

Go and say to mama I'll just drive ninety eight

Hold her in my arms tell her I'll be alright

Breath in faith and hope and a big fat cigarette

Drowning in the wine having no regrets

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

Don't ask me why

Gold butterflies and gum on a string

Get me high

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

But doin' nothin' is my favorite one

And It's not the life I thought it would be

But I'll be alright I know I will be so long to circumstance

Cashin' in on the glory of my biggest mistakes

I'm fadin' now at last baskin' in sweet sunlight

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

Don't ask me why

Gold butterflies and gum on a string

Get me high

Yeah these are some of my favorite things

But loving you son is my very favorite one
