Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan. Manhattan madness. You've got me at last. I'm like a fly upon a steeple. Watching seven million people. Do a rhythm.
Marie, Marie, Marie. . Marie, the dawn is breaking. Marie, (ooh, Marie) you'll soon be waking. To find you heart is aching. And tears, (and tears) will fall, (will fall) as you recall.
And now the end is near. And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear,. I'll state my case of which I'm certain.. . I've lived a life that's full,.
Another bride, another June. Another sunny honeymoon. Another season, another reason. For makin' whoopee. . A lot of shoes, a lot of rice. The groom is nervous, he answers twice.
Midnight at the oasis. Send your camel to bed. Got shadows painting our faces. Traces of romance in our heads. . Heaven's holding a half moon. Shining just for us.
Ego trippin' got you step. Steppin' on someone else's toes. I'm not your sister not your mother. It's not fun being left alone. Staying out all night long.
Everything. Everything. Everything. Everything. . In its right place. In its right place. In its right place. In its right place. . Yesterday I woke up sucking on a lemon.
Hey, back to the beginning of time. No. Nothing nor no one to find. We follow the moonlight, chase after the sun. Searching for some piece of mind. Searching for the silver line.
You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,. You ain't never been blue,. Till you've had that mood indigo.. That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes. While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues"..
I'm calling 'bout your ad in the Reader. About the house for rent on Mt. Señorita. Tell me is there is anything I need to know,. Like are there wood worms or black mold?.
Well, my home's in the delta. Way out on that farmer's road. Now you know I'm leaving Chicago. And people, I sure do hate to go. . Now you know I'm leaving here in the morning.
My pistol may snap, my mojo is frail. But I rub my root, my luck will never fail. When I rub my root, my John the conquer root. Aww, you know there ain't nothin' she can do.
Oh captain, captain, hmm, oh, my captain so mean. Oh captain, captain, hmm, oh, my captain so mean. Ah, he don't feed me nothing, oh yeah boy, but soya bean.
My eyes keep me in trouble. Wants every woman I see. My eyes keep me in trouble. I wants every woman I see. Ah you pretty women kill me. Just come on and get poor me.
It's my own fault, I don't blame you for treating me the way you do. It's my own fault, I don't blame you for treating me the way you do. When you was deep in love with me, at that time, little girl, I didn't love you.
What's this a-here goin all around town. The people they say they're gonna put the kid down. Oh no. Oh look at what you did. You can call it what you want to.
What did I hear goin' on 'round town. You tell everybody you're gonna put the kid down. Whoa Lawd baby you drivin' me insane. You been messin' with the kid, you better not be messin' with the man.
I got a mean red spider, and she been webbin' all over town. I got a mean red spider, and she been webbin' all over town. I'm gonna get me a mean black spider, so I can tear her cobweb down.
Who's that young girl come walkin' down the road. She's walkin' like Maggie but I declare she's walkin' too slow, oh oh. Who's that young girl walkin' down the road.
