Acid Jazz Singer

Well let me tell you something
Let me tell you so
This could be the one thing
That you really need to know
You gotta stop once in a while
Shake off that face of yours
Cause nothing comes easy
Oh it just comes free
You could sing it better
If you sing for me, oh sister
Well I cannot claim
This advice is my own
I learned it in the gutter
One night, crawling home
She said "Don't you look ridiculous"
I checked her out meticulously
And I would've stopped to argue
But my teeth were broke
I said "I'd love to contradict you
But my life's a joke, oh sister"
And she said "I'm no genius and I've lost myself
The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf
And it's a one time, keep it slow
Wind 'em up and here we go
Get a ride today
And you may still be here tomorrow"
Some said she was saintly
Some she was a swinger
Me, I only knew her as an acid jazz singer, come on
Well I'm a lucky man
But maybe so is she
And maybe this is just the way it has to be
It's all based on speculation
Seems a crazy my occupation to me
And though I didn't much believe her
I was bound to call
I really didn't wanna miss a single thing at all
Oh, sister
She said "I'm no genius and I've lost myself
The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf
And it's a one time, keep it slow
Wind 'em up and here we go
Get a ride today
And you may still be here tomorrow"
Some said she was saintly
To some she was a swinger
Me, I only knew her as an acid jazz singer, come on
And she said "I'm no genius and I've lost myself
The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf
And it's a one time, keep it slow
Wind 'em up and here we go
Get a ride today
And you may still be here tomorrow"
Some said she was saintly
Some she was a swinger
Me, I only knew her as an acid jazz singer, come on
I haven't seen her lately
Well, I'll have to ring her
Put your hands together for the acid jazz singer, come on
La, la, la, oh
La, la, la, oh
La, la, la, oh
Come on
Come on
Come on
