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 ...
