Lyrics

And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I borrowed from a coffee bar
What you don't know doesn't hurt you
My name would be Antonio
And all my bridges I would burn
And when I'd give them some they know
I'd expect something in return
I'd have to get drunk every night
And talk about virility
To some old grandmama who might be decked out
Like a Christmas tree
And though pink elephants I'd see
I'd be drunk as I could be
Still I would sing my song to me
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute, cute in a stupid ass way
And if I joined the social whirl
Became procurer of young girls
Then I would have my own bordellos
My records would be number one
And I'd sell records by the ton
All sung by many other fellows
My name would then be Handsome Jack
And I'd sell boats of opium
Whisky that came from Twickenham
Authentic queers and phony virgins
I'd have a bank on every finger
A finger in all the countries
And all the countries ruled by me
I'd still know where I wanna be
Locked up inside my opium den
Surrounded by some Chinamen
I'd sing the song that I sang then
About the time they called me Jackie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute, cute in a stupid ass way
