Frankie

Come on now, Frankie, let's get it right

You know you shouldn't be drinking so late at night

But I've got this candle, you've got a light

Let's stay up 'til morning

See I've known a few fellows that had the blues

And I know they could shake 'em if they wanted to

So let's get some ice and I'll bring the booze

And we can sit by the water

Lately I've been thinking 'bout some people I know

With their hands on their hearts and their eyes down their nose

Just looking at the world like it's something they hold

Trying to make it do something

And I just look at that lady, she's just standing out there

Looking out at the water, she ain't lonesome or scared

It's like she's known something for hundreds of years

It's a candle she's burning

Oh come on now, Frankie, let's sing those cobblestone blues

With the soles of our shoes singing "I don't care about money

"I care about the things people lose and the people that take 'em

"I care about the things people know and the world they're making"

Come on now, Frankie, let's get it right

Let's hit the bodega 'fore they close for the night

Tide's coming in and the moon's out of sight

And it looks like he's singing those blues

Singing "I don't care about money"

Singing "I don't care about money"

Singing "I don't care about money"

Oh, I don't care about money
