Brian Setzer Orchestra - Sammy Davis City lyrics

rate me

written by J. Strummer and B. Setzer

When it's raining and times are hard

And there's too much junk in the backyard

You hope for a rainbow

Be it lotto or keno

In the trailer park

That's the light in the dark

In all of the valleys

Under lucky stars

By the satellite dishes

And the non-running cars

I'm feeling all the people dreaming

Blue tiles are cool

All around the pool

Greek columns are fine

But give me a deal on the vine

Nothing pretentious

I haven't changed

I got sixty billion

But I'm still the same

The pool is hot

The beer is cold

The cigar costs a lot

And the wine is old

Where the car reps dream

Like Walter Mitty

Oh, book me a berth

In Sammy Davis City, yeah!

Well, Annie and Danny

Are growing too fast

And I can't fix the hammock

'Cause I'm feeling half-assed

Those basket ball hoops

Became chicken coops

There's a motel for sale

A cafe and a jail

In all of the valleys

Under lucky Stars

By the satillite dishes

and the non-running cars

I'm feeling all the people dreaming

Blue tiles are cool

All around the pool

Greek columns are fine

But give me a deal on the vine

Nothing pretentious

I haven't changed

I got sixty billion

But I'm still the same

The pool is hot

The beer is cold

The cigar costs a lot

And the wine is old

Where the car reps dream

Like Walter Mitty

Oh, book me a berth

In Sammy Davis City, yeah!

I'm feeling all the people dreaming

Feeling all the people dreaming

Feeling all the people ... dreaming
