Testi

If one day in Nokla Zoot
I found out what I feared the most
A man who croons for croaking widows
And though I croon "Mi Corazon"
My voice a fake bandoneon
As Argentine as Monte Carlo
Though they call me Antonio
And I burn down my dying fires
For token trinkets of desire
Madame, I do the best I'm able
I talk about virility
To matrons decked in finery
Like tinsel-covered Christmas trees
And drink myself under the table
Safe in my drunkenography
Each night I sing my maudlin song
Pink elephants dance and sing along
About the time they called me Jackie
To be once more for one hour only
To be once more I don't care when
To be once more for just that one hour
So beautiful and such a twat again
If maybe one day in Macau
I ran the city's gambling hells
Surrounded by adoring women
Or if my love of singing failed
And I took up instead blackmail
And I made others do the singing
And if they call me handsome Serge
And I sold boats of opium whiskey
From Clermont-Ferrand organic gays
Recycled virgins
If all my fingers were a bank
And pulled the strings in every land
Till I was head of every state
I know that when each day was over
That in that mirror no one sees
Except the Chinese staff and me
I'll sing my song admission free
About the time they called me Jackie
To be once more for one hour only
To be once more I don't care when
To be once more for just that one hour
So beautiful and such a twat again
If I wake up in Paradise
Much to my very great surprise
And find my audience there one day
I'll sing for them Hallelujah
Regrets I've had more than a few
Not every day was always Sunday
Even if they call me God
And in the phone book I'm between
Goddalming and God bless you
And I had grown a big white beard too
And even if too kind by half
I broke my heart and soul in half
To comfort people in their dark
I know that when each day was all through
In Paradise like down below
The angels, saints, and Satan too
Would sing that song from long ago
About the time they called me Jackie
To be once more for one hour only
To be once more I don't care when
To be once more for just that one hour
So beautiful and such a twat again
Jackie
