Lyrics:

Some other day perhaps
Some other time perchance
Not today anyway
Not in this life I suppose
My heart knows

Forever alone
I guess I’ll be
Forever alone
I go solo

Love, so it seems,
Is for birds and bees
Incidentally, even strangers on the street
Love is for everybody, every soul I meet
But for me, it’s only a dream
Like a movie playing in my mind
Silently, like black and white TV

Forever alone
Story of my life
Forever alone
Day and night

Ticket for one
Dinner for one
Single serving, sofa in my room
And when it’s party of two
Table for two
It’s loveseat, baby, somebody to spoon

But all hearts are taken
In the land of love
My heart’s open
Waiting for fun

All hearts are taken
Especially ones I adore
All hearts are taken
They’re all spoken for

Oh lord, send me one of your angels
If you’ve got angels to spare up there?
Can you send me love
From the clouds above?

Send me a sweetheart I can call my own
‘Cause I don’t wanna stay here
Forever alone

Oh lord, send me one of your angels
If you’ve got angels to spare up there
Can you send me some love
From heaven above?

Send me a sweetie pie I can call my own
Don’t make me spend forever
Forever alone

Forever Alone

Lyrics:

For days of long ago
Should old friends be forgotten,
And never brought to mind?
Should old friends be forgotten,
In memories left behind?

For days of long ago, my dear,
For days of long ago,
We’ll drink a toast of kindness yet,
For days of long ago.

And surely you’ll buy your pint!
And surely I’ll buy mine!
And we’ll drink a toast of kindness yet,
For days of olden time.

We two have run about the hills,
And picked the daisies fine;
But we’ve wandered many a weary mile,
Since days of that sunshine.

We two have paddled in the stream,
From morning sun till noon;
But seas between us wide have roared
Since days of youthful tune.

And here’s a hand, my trusted friend!
And give me your hand too!
And we’ll take a hearty drink together,
For days of skies so blue.

For days of long ago

Lyrics: 

You can call me anytime, you know that I don’t mind  
You call me when I'm feeling blue
and I'm always there for you  
And if your man don’t treat you right, well that’s alright  
You'll be the man I want my man to be, you'll be the man who treats me right tonight

We’ll go dancing and we’ll drink some wine  
And we’ll laugh until we’re blue  
We’ll go walking under the moonlight  
But we’ll never see the truth  

I’m in love with the thought of you, cuz i'm liking what i see
You’re in love with the thought of me  but I don't think we're meant to be

Norleans, Norleans lovers  
Walking hand in hand  
Norleans, always another  
Lover in this land

When the music softly plays, and the night is young  
We'll find comfort in this haze, a song yet to be sung
Every whisper of the breeze, carries dreams anew  
Oh, Norleans, how you tease, bringing me to you  

We’ll go dancing and we’ll drink some wine  
And we’ll laugh until we’re blue  
We’ll go walking under the moonlight  
But we’ll never see the truth  

Every corner holds a mystery, every street a tale  
From the jazz that fills the air, to the ships that sail  
Norleans whispers secrets, shared 'neath the stars  
In this city of dreams, our hearts leave no scars  

Oh, Norleans, Norleans lovers  
Dancing by the sea  
Norleans, always another  
Lover, wild and free

Norleans Lovas

Alec "Cheef" Poletsky presents
 "You can't do that on Ukulele"

 An eclectic mix of music all performed on  4, 6, and 8 string Ukuleles. Even the live percussion was done on a Tenor ukulele!

With the addition of some drum machines, keyboards, and various sound fx and processors, this album takes you on an adventurous journey through uncharted ukulele territory.
Someone had to explore these realms, and Cheef bravely volunteered.

THIS ALBUM IS STILL BEING RECORDED, SOME OF THESE TRACKS ARE DEMOS AND NOT THE FINISHED PRODUCT. (If you would like to make a donation to help the completion of this album or would like to talk to me, contact Cheef at thekingsofukulele@gmail.com) 

Alec "Cheef" Poletsky specializes in fretted instruments from all over the world, he is a contributor for Ukulele Magazine, a product demonstrator, writer, music educator, a Lanikai Ukuleles endorsee and a founding member of The Kings of Ukulele.
