Bilbao Song
That old Bilbao moon, I won't forget it soonThat old Bilbao moon, just like a big balloonThat old Bilbao moon would rise above the duneWhile Tony's beach saloon rocked with an old-time tuneWe'd sing a song the whole night long and I can still recallThose were the greatest (those were the greatest)Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)Those were the greatest nights of them allNo paint was on the door (no paint was on the door)The grass grew through the floor (the grass grew through the floor)Of Tony's two by four (of Tony's two by four)On the Bilbao shore (on the Bilbao shore)But there were friends galore (howdy do, howdy do)And there was beer to pour (chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug)And moonlight on the shore (and the moon shines above)That old Bilbao shore (on the shore, not the rug)We'd sing all night with all our might and I can still recallThose were the greatest (those were the greatest)Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)Those were the greatest nights of them allThat old Bilbao moon, I won't forget it soonThat old Bilbao moon, just like a big balloonThat old Bilbao moon would rise above the duneWhile Tony's beach saloon rocked with an old-time tuneSongtexteWe'd sing all night with all our might and I can still recallThose were the greatest (those were the greatest)Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)Those were the greatest nights of them allThose old Bilbao Guys, they loved to harmoniseWho stopped to realise how fast the summer fliesThe moon was on the rise, we'd catch the ladies' eyesAnd whisper Spanish lies, They never did get wise.We'd sing the whole night longAnd I can still recallThose were the greatest,Those were the greatestThose were the greatest days of them all.
