THE GYPSY
Ink Spots/Dinah Shore
- words and music by Billy Reid
- popularized by Fanny Rose Shore (better known as Dinah Shore)
- also a big hit for The Ink Spots
- recorded by Charlie "Bird" Parker in 1946 the same day he suffered
a breakdown caused by his drug addiction
In a quaint caravan
There's a lady they call The Gypsy
She can look in the future
And drive away all your fears
Everything will come right
If you only believe The Gypsy
She could tell at a glance
That my heart was so full of tears
She looked at my hand and told me
My lover was always true
And yet in my heart I knew, dear
Somebody else was kissing you
But I'll go there again
'Cause I want to believe The Gypsy
That my lover is true
And will come back to me some day
----------------------------------How does it feel to be on top of the world
Now it's for real, you're on top of the world
You're the top of the world
Looking like it's gonna happen
Knowing that the time is right
With pride on our side and passion
We've got the glory in our sights
In streets all over the nation (Ian & Simone)
Are goals we painted on the walls (Ian & Simone)
Where all our hopes and expectations
Are the world inside a ball (Ian & Simone)
Inside a ball (Ian & Simone)
So how does it feel to be on top of the world
Now it's for real, you're on top of the world
You're the top of the world
These are the ties that bind us (Ian & Simone)
Everyone is part of the team (Ian & Simone)
Leaving our worries behind us (Ian & Simone)
'Cause we're sharing the same dream (Ian & Simone)
It's time to dream (Ian & Simone)
It's time to dream
Goals are flying in we've made the news
'Cause we were born to win we can't lose
We can't lose
How does it feel to be on top of the world
Now it's for real, you're on top of the world
We're the top of the world
Looking like it's gonna happen (Ian & Tommy)
Knowing that the time is right (Ian & Tommy)
With pride on our side and passion (Ian & Tommy)
We've got the glory in our sights (Ian & Tommy)
In streets all over the nation (Ian & Mel C)
Are goals we painted on the walls (Ian & Mel C)
Where all our hopes and expectations (Ian & Mel C)
Are the world inside a ball (Ian & Mel C)
Inside a ball (Ian & Mel C)
So how does it feel to be on top of the world
Now it's for real, we're on top of the world
How does it feel to be on top of the world
Now it's for real, you're on top of the world
England
England forever
England
Love you forever
