(She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt)
(She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt) She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me I work in a London bank, respectable position From nine to three they serve you tea But ruin your disposition Each night of music calls, rather lost I seem And once a pearl of a native girl came smilin' right at me She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me Goodbye to the London bank, I started in a-sailin' The fourteenth day from Mandalay I spied her from the railin' She knew I was on my way, waited, and was true She said "You son of an Englishman, I've dreamed each night of you" She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me I went to her Ma and Pa and said I loved her only And they both said we could be wed, oh, what a ceremony An elephant brought her in, placed her by my side While six baboons got out bassoons and played "Here Comes the Bride" I'm back here in London town and, though it may sound silly She's here with me and you should see us walk down Picadilly The boys at the London bank kinda hold their breath She sits with me and sips her tea which tickles them to death She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love (and love) in her heart (in her heart) for me |

[Chorus:]
Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ha-ha! Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ain't seen a babe like this before He's so good-looking, gonna have some more Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ha- ha now I've been known to gamble, take a little drink Then there's the night I had a fight and landed in the clink But now my rooting tooting days are done Gotta be the man that he thinks I am 'cause I love my son Ha ha I knew a lot of women when I was on the go They'd stand in line to drink my wine and help me spend my dough But my wife Rosie ain't that kind Got her to thank for a buck in the bank 'n' this kid of mine I'm gonna do some bragging up and down the town I'm walking into joints anew and passing news around That me and Rosie got a son Though he's just been born, gonna buy him a horn, a baseball, and drum He he's as tiny as a peanut yet I do declare Some day he'll look at me and say, "Hey, how you doing down there?" He'll be good-hearted like his Ma But I bet he'll be a lady-killer just like his Pa |

Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues
'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose Your love dear, why'd you do me this way? Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night 'cause everythin's wrong, and nothin' ain't right Without you, you got me singin' the blues. The moon and stars no longer shine The dream is gone I thought was mine There's nothin' left for me to do But cry-why-why-why over you (cry over you) Well, I never felt more like runnin' away But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay Without you, you got me singin' the blues.

Well, I've just been thinkin' things over
How I have loved you for years My life just don't seem worth livin' Since you have left me in tears My skies have all turned to gray now And I just walk the soles off'a my shoes Since you've been gone my heart's broken And I'm just knee-deep in the blues Well, I've just been thinkin' things over How I have loved you for years My life just don't seem worth livin' Since you have left me in tears You ask me why I've been cryin' It's 'cause I've lost 'bout all I can lose Since you've been gone I've quit tryin' And I'm just knee-deep in the blues |

[Chorus:]
Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score Everyday you love me less, each day I love you more Yes, I've got heartaches by the number, a love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting, that's the day my world will end Heartache number one was when you left me I never knew that I could hurt this way And heartache number two was when you *come* back again You came back but never meant to stay Yes, I've got Heartache number three was when you called me And said that you were coming back to stay With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door I waited but you must have lost your way Yes, I've got |

(There's a pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
And I walk up and down 'neath the clock (By the pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) But I ain't got a thing left to hock She was peaches, she was honey And she cost me all my money 'Cause a whirl 'round the town was her dream (Was her dream) Took her dancin', took her dinin' Till her blue eyes were shinin' With the sights that they never had seen (Never seen) If you should run into a golden-haired angel And ask her tonight for a date She'll tell you somewhere there's a rich millionaire Who is calling again about eight (There's a pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) And I've just gotta get five or ten (Five or ten) (From the pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) Gotta be with my angel again She was peaches, she was honey And she cost me all my money 'Cause a whirl 'round the town was her dream (Was her dream) Took her dancin', took her dinin' Till her blue eyes were shinin' With the sights that they never had seen If you should run into a golden-haired angel And ask her tonight for a date She'll tell you somewhere there's a rich millionaire Who is calling again about eight (There's a pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) And I've just gotta get five or ten (Five or ten) From the pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Gotta be with my angel again, gotta be with my angel again |
