Ganggajang Thanks To Dave Lyrics

Thanks To Dave Lyrics

Late nights, down the back streets, across the cobblestones we'd roam

and laughing through the bar haze we would wait for Dave to show.

Dave now, like his namesake, used to blow in on the breeze

Put a smile on every face, slapping backs and squeezing knees



Oh, we'd live and we'd laugh, to the music we'd sway

Oh, we'd live, love, laugh and cry thanks to Dave



Jokes fell from his lips like dust falls from a golden gown

Wore the mantle of his royalty, the little king of this old town

Gathered pilgrims to his progress like believers to a shrine

And he made it through the big time, was a star on 'What's My Line'



Oh, we'd live and we'd laugh, to the music we'd sway

Oh, we'd live, love, laugh and cry thanks to Dave



Well there's sunlight on the sidewalk, hear the morning talk and the mood has
changed

You can relive the past nights, lamplight to limelight, always the same

We were fools every one of us, rolling in the night

Dancing to that famous refrain, thanks to dave



Often in the grip of some fancy party fare

We would tiptoe to the frontier with Dave as our guide there

And it's funny how the years pass, been and gone and you're not aware

How and when we drifted from the time that we had there



Oh, we'd live and we'd laugh, to the music we'd sway

Oh, we'd live, love, laugh and cry thanks to Dave

Thanks to Dave, Thanks to Dave
