Count On Me - Frank Sinatra, The M-G-M Studio Orchestra, On the Town

We’re like a pair of scissors, partner, you can’t get away from us

Reckon you’re stuck with us.

Yeah, we’re your pals, pal

Whenever you feel demolished, you must remember this

Things are never as bad as they could be

When friends of old 'departeth', there’s one you’ll never miss

I’ll be right with you, you can count on me

You can count on me, you can count on me

As the adding machine once said, you can count on me

If you committed murder, and got locked up in jail

And had to hang until your life was done

I wouldn’t call it murder for inspection not a rope

I’ll be by your side till you are gone

I’ll be by your side, I’ll be my your side

As the flypaper told to the fly, I’ll be by your side

Big deal, big deal, big deal, big deal!

Oh if you miss your mother a million miles from home

Oh, think of how you once clung to her knee

And though there is no other, on land or sea or foam

When you’re in doubt, you can cling to me

Cling to me, cling to me, cling to me, cling to me

You can cling to me

If through a lot of 'follery', you lost your last red cent

I wouldn’t even stop to ask you why, to ask you why

I’ll pawn my mother’s jewelry, I’ll steal my sister’s rent

It’s all for you, kid, you can milk me dry

You can milk me dry, you can milk me dry

As the cow to the farmer said, you can milk me dry

O de lay ee, lay ee, o de lay ee ee

O de lay ee, lay ee, o de lay ee ee

O de lay ee, lay ee, o de lay ee ee

Lay ee, lay ee lay ee o dee lay ee

On a desert island do we 'coo' at half the spray

I’ll take him into paradise indeed

If wreak you could if only, bring out some pie I say

In fact you’ll find that I am all you need

I am all you need, I am all you need

As the dog told the old tree trunk

I’m all you need

I am all you need, I am all you need

As the dog told the great tree trunk

I’m all you need

You can count on me, you can count on me

As the adding machine once said, you can count on me

Two four six eight, who do we appreciate?

You can count on me
