It's a beggar's life, said the Queen of Spain |
|
But don't tell it to a poor man |
|
'Cause he's got to kill for every thrill |
|
The best he can |
|
Said everywhere around me |
|
I see jealousy and mayhem |
|
Because no men have |
|
Their peace of mind to carry them |
|
I ain't got the heart |
|
To lose another's fight |
|
So until my ship comes in |
|
I'll live night by night |
|
The joker tried to tell me |
|
I could cut it in this rube town |
|
When he tried to hang that sign on me |
|
I said take it down |
|
When the dawn patrol, got to tell you twice |
|
They don't do it with a shotgun |
|
Said, I'm cashing in this ten-cent life |
|
For another one |
|
I don't really care |
|
If it's wrong or if it's right |
|
But until my ship comes in |
|
I'll live night by night |
|
Well, I don't really care |
|
If it's wrong or if it's right |
|
But until my ship comes in |
|
I'll live night by night |
|
Night by night |
