No Strings - Fred Astaire, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Shavers

I wake up every morning with a smile on my face

Everything in its place as it should be

I start out every morning just as free as the breeze

My cares upon the shelf

Because I find myself with

No strings and no connections

No ties to my affections

I’m fancy free and free for anything fancy

No dates that can’t be broken

No words that can’t be spoken

Especially when I am feeling romancy

Like a robin upon a tree

Like a sailor that goes to sea

Like an unwritten melody

I’m free, that’s me

So

Bring on the big attraction

My decks are cleared for action

I’m fancy free and free for anything fancy
