CYNDI LAUPER - White Man's Melody lyrics

rate me

In the bosom of Europa

Little Liza was caressed

By the music of the angels

Playing underneath her dress

She saw the Great Caruso

And that's when she fell in love

She'd think of him as Elvis

If she knew who Elvis was

Spinning round and round

You can hear her moan

She's all by herself

But she's not alone

Wonderful things happen to me

Whenever I sing that White Man's Melody

Wonderful wave - wash over me

Whenever I sing that White Man's Melody

By the shores of the Gitchee Goomee

She was floating on her bed

She was deaming of Al Jolson

And what she thought he said

He was looking in the mirror

He was putting on the paint

Said the hardest thing about this job

Is being what you ain't

Just an old white man

In a strange new world

Can you come out tonight

Little buffalo girl

Wonderful things happen to me

Whenever I sing that White Man's Melody

Wonderful wave - wash over me

Whenever I sing that White Man's Melody

From the loins of the Liberace

Sprang a million little tunes

And they whirled around Eliza

Like so many little moons

Every jewel held a secret

Every flourish held a clue

As he held her in a rapture

Singing I'll be seeing you

Wonderful things happen to me

Whenever I sing that White Man's Melody

Wonderful wave - wash over me

Whenever I sing that White Man's Melody
