I didn’t ponder the question too long;
I was hungry and went out for a bite.
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum,
and we wound up drinkin’ all night
Come, they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our newborn King to see
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum
Rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong
Shoo-bop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom
Chang chang changitty chang sha-bop
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo
Boogedy boogedy boogedy boogedy
Shoo-be doo-wop she-bop
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na yippity dip de doom
Bomp aba bomp a bompbompbomp
Bompbompbomp a-dang a-dangdang

blue moon you saw me standing alone
Sha na na na, sha na na na na
Sha na na na, sha na na na na
Sha na na na, sha na na na na
Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip
Mum mum mum mum mum mum
Get a job, sha na na na, sha na na na na
Sitting on my la la , waiting on my ya ya, ahm ahm…
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay,
Watching the tide roll away,
Ooo, I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay,
Wastin’ time…
Going to run all night
Going to run all day
I’ll bet my money on the bob-tail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
Running on, running on empty
Running on, running blind
Running on, running into the sun
But I’m running behind
Oh, Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we’re young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you’d pay
For things that you might have done
Only the good die young
That’s what I said
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feeling ain’t right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely, he’s lonely still
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
Waterloo, couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin’ fast
The first shell hit the Bismark, they knew she couldn’t last
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
“Sink the Bismark” was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Napoleon at Waterloo
Writing Josephine a billet-doux:
“Josie, I’ve got to close this,
Close this epistle,
There goes the whistle,
And here come the British with a bang-bang!”
Hit me with your best shot, fire away …
Shot through the heart,
And you’re to blame.
You give love a bad name (bad name).
I play my part and you play your game.
You give love a bad name (bad name).
You give love, a bad name.
Banana-nana-fo-fana.
