I love little girls they make me feel so good  
I love little girls they make me feel so bad  
When they’re around they make me feel  
Like I’m the only guy in town  
I love little girls they make me feel so good

They don’t care if I’m a one way mirror  
They’re not frightened by my cold exterior

They don’t ask me questions  
They don’t want to scold me  
They don’t look for answers  
They just want to hold me  
Isn’t this fun  
Isn’t this what life’s all about  
Isn’t this a dream come true  
Isn’t this a nightmare too.

Pretty women  
Fascinating…  
Sipping coffee,  
Dancing…  
Pretty women  
Are a wonder.  
Pretty women!

Sitting in the window or  
Standing on the stair  
Something in them chills the air.  
Pretty women

I’ve got your picture of me and you  
You wrote “I love you” I wrote “me too”  
I sit there staring and there’s nothing else to do  
Oh it’s in color. Your hair is brown  
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds  
I often kiss you when there’s no one else around

I used to wake up in the morning  
I used to feel so bad  
I got so sick of having sleepless nights  
I went and told my dad

He said, “Son now here’s some little something”  
And stuck them on my wall  
And now my nights ain’t quite so lonely  
In fact I, I don’t feel bad at all

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful  
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night  
Pictures of Lily solved my childhood problems  
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright

Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate  
Darling I remember the way you used to wait  
Twas there that you whispered tenderly  
That you loved me  
You’d always be  
My Lili of the lamplight  
My own Lili Marlene

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful  
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night  
Pitcures of Lily solved my childhood problems  
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright

And then one day things weren’t quite so fine  
I fell in love with Lily  
I asked my dad where Lily I could find  
He said, “Son, now don’t be silly”  
She’s been dead since 1929"

Oh, how I cried that night  
If only I’d been born in Lily’s time  
It would have been alright

Hey, did you know that I’m always going back in time?  
Rhyming slang, Auld lang syne, my dears, through the years.  
I’m the backwards traveller, ancien wool unraveller,  
Sailing songs, wailing on the moon.

Through the years  
You’ve never let me down  
You’ve turned my life around

(Turn around)  
Every now and then  
I get a little bit lonely  
And you’re never coming round

(Turn around)  
Every now and then  
I get a little bit tired  
Of listening to the sound of my tears

(Turn around)  
Every now and then  
I get a little bit nervous  
That the best of all the years have gone by

(Turn around)  
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified  
And then I see the look in your eyes  
(Turn Around, bright eyes)  
Every now and then I fall apart  
(Turn Around, bright eyes)  
Every now and then  
I fall apart

Bright eyes,  
Burning like fire.  
Bright eyes,  
How can you close and fail?  
How can the light that burned so brightly  
Suddenly burn so pale?  
Bright eyes.

Is it a kind of shadow,  
Reaching into the night,  
Wandering over the hills unseen,  
Or is it a dream?

</div>

My eyes are sore, my body weak,  
My throat is dry, I cannot speak.  
My words are dead,  
Falling like feathers to the floor.  
You gave me things I’d never seen,  
You made my life a waking dream.  
But we are dead,  
Falling like ashes to the floor.

Now, learned men who use the pen  
Have wrote its praises high.  
That sweet poteen from Ireland green,  
Distilled from wheat and rye.

Throw away your pills, it 'll cure all ills  
Of pagan or Christian or Jew.  
Take off your coat and grease your throat  
With the real old Mountain Dew.

Yes, as through this world I’ve wandered  
I’ve seen lots of funny men;  
Some will rob you with a six-gun,  
And some with a fountain pen.

About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war  
I saw my first pistol in the general store  
In the general store, when I was thirteen  
I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen

When I was a young boy  
My mama told me son  
Always be a good boy  
and don’t play around with guns  
But I shot a man in Reno  
Just to watch him die  
When I hear that whistle blowing  
I hang my head and cry

Ask me how do I feel, ask me now that we’re cozy and clinging,  
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bell I’d be ringing!
