Sing For Joy
Georgie Porgie used to get real high He used to kiss the world til he made her cry He was under the bottles command But last winter he got it together And happiness came with the warmer weather Layin across all the land He had a love and she liked to drink She got it together but you know what I think I think she was still feelin glum She got a gun and she shot him in the head She shot herself and so they were wed As the air conditioner hummed Sing for joy Sing for laughs Sing for joy Sing for joy If nothin else Sing for joy Mama killed her pumpkin She thought it was a sweet She put it on the table but it was still meat She forgot the sugar again Daddy came home She had tears in her eyes SongtexteHe said Gimme grilled cheese and paper bag french fries See he forgot the sugar again We had a wonder seven years out west It wasn't exactly the wildnerness But I felt like it is real light Mama is a gypsy she'll never find uptown Daddy went to sea but the boat went down And the flames shot into the night Sing for joy Sing for laughs Sing for joy Sing for joy If nothin else Sing for joy I know a girl who lives on a hill I don't know if her sister will But I was thinkin about her best friend Oh listen to me I'm a desperate boy I think I better have a sing for joy And I think this has just got to end I'll getaway in my getaway car Every now and then I'll send my regards From a payphone down in the flats I'm sorry for the love I'm sorry for the pain I'll say I'm sorry baby again and again I'm sorry we're joinin the stats Sing for joy Sing for laughs Sing for joy Sing for joy If nothin else Sing for joy (Thanks to Jim for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
