The Fratellis - Acid Jazz Singer lyrics

rate me

Well let me tell you something let me tell you so

This could be the one thing that you really need to know

You got to stop once in a while

And shake off that face of yours

Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free

You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me oh sister

Well I cannot claim this advice as my own

I learned it in the gutter one night coming home

She said "Don't you look ridiculous"

I checked her out meticulously

I would've stopped to argue but my

Teeth were broke

I said " I'd love to contradict you

But my life's a joke oh sister"

She said I'm no genius and I've lost myself

The books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf

And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go

Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger

Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be

It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me

And though I didn't much beliebe here I was bound to call

I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all oh sister

She said I'm no genius and I've lost myself

The books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf

And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go

Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger

Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

She said I'm no genius and I've lost myself

The books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf

And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go

Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger

Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer

I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her

Put your hands together for the Acid jazz singer come on ...
