Jackie Lyrics

Jackie lyrics

And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for
women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I'd borrow from a
coffee bar
- Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you

My name would
be Antonio
And all my bridges I would burn
And when I sang a song they'd
know
I'd expect something in return...
I'd have to get drunk every
night
And talk about virility 
With some old grandmother who might
Be
decked out like a Christmas tree

And no pink elephants I would
see
Though I'd be drunk as I can be
Still I would sing my song to
me
About the time they called me Jackie

If I could be for only an
hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one
little hour
Cute - in a stupid-assed way

And if I joined the social
world
Became procurer of young girls
And I would have my own
bordello
My records would be number one
And I'd sell records by the
tonne
All sang by many other fellows

My name would then be Handsome
Jack
And I'd sell boats of opium
Whisky that came from
Twickenham
Offering queers and phoney virgins
If I had banks on every
finger
A finger in every country
And all the countries ruled by me
I'd
still know exactly where I'd want to be...

Holed up inside my opium
den
Surrounded by some chinamen
I'd sing a song that I sang then
About
the time they called me Jackie

If I could be for only an hour
If I
could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little
hour
Cute - in a stupid-assed way

Now tell me wouldn't it be
nice
That if one day in paradise
I'd sing for all the ladies up
there
And they would sing along with me
They'd be so happy they'd
agree
Coz down below is really nowhere

My name would then be
Jupiter
And I would know where I was going
And I would become
all-knowing
My bits are very long and flowing...
If I became deaf, dumb
and blind
Because I'd pitied all mankind
And broke my heart to make
things right
I'd still know that every single night

When my angelic
work was through
The angels and the devil too
Would sing my childhood
song to me
About the time they called me Jackie

If I could be for
only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just
one little hour
Cute - in a stupid-assed way

If I could be for only
an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one
little hour
Cute - in a stupid-assed way.
