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 youʼd sing it for me
Oh sister
Well I cannot claim this advice as my own
I learned it in the gutter one night crawling home
She said “Donʼt you look ridiculous�?
I checked her out meticulously
And though I wouldʼve stopped to argue but my teeth were broke
I said “Iʼd love to contradict you, but my lifeʼs a joke",
Oh sister
she said iʼm no genius and iʼve lost myself
The books are on the table and the secretʼs on the shelf
And itʼs 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 Iʼm a lucky man and maybe so is she
and maybe this is just the way it has to be
Itʼs all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
And though i didnʼt much believe her i was bound to call
I really didnʼt want to miss a single thing at all, oh sister
She said iʼm no genius and iʼve lost my self
The books are on the table and the secretʼs on the shelf
And itʼs 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 iʼm no genius and iʼve lost my self
The books are on the table and the secretʼs on the shelf
And itʼs 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 her as an acid jazz singer
I havent seen her lately, man I have to ring her
Put your hands together for the Acid jazz singer, come on....
