La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar.
Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
What became of the man that started
All are gone and their souls departed
Left me here in this place so all alone?
May as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
I never had a damn thing, but what I had
I had to leave it behind
You’re the hardest thing
I ever tried to get off my mind
Well, I could have loved you better,
Didn’t mean to be unkind.
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was leavin’ with you or her
I didn’t realize just what I did hear
I didn’t realize how young you were
Come back when you grow up girl.
You’re still living in a paper doll world.
Now living ain’t easy, but loving’s twice as tough.
Come back baby, back when you grow up.
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
I’m Sadie, Sadie, married lady,
Bow when I go by.
I’m a corporation now,
Not me, myself and I.
I drink alone
Yeah, with nobody else
You know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself
Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it’s better than drinking alone.
Every day, baby, when the sun go down
I get with my friends and I begin to clown
I don’t care what the people are thinkin’
I ain’t drunk, I’m just drinkin’
Yes, I’m a clown but I don’t wanna be.
Why can’t you see the other side of me?
Guess I’ll be the guy who plays the part
Of a clown with a broken heart.
Dreaming of your love and not knowing where to start.
I’m a joker
I’m a smoker
I’m a midnight toker
I sure don’t want to hurt no one
Don’t make me angry with the games that you play
Either light up or leave me alone
He’ll take you up, he’ll bring you down,
He’ll plant your feet back on the ground.
Oh, who can take tomorrow (who can take tomorrow)
Dip it in a dream (dip it in a dream)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
Hey! Man, you talkin’ back to me?
Take him out, you gotta keep 'em separated
Hey! Man, you disrespecting me?
Take him out, you gotta keep 'em separated
