[00:00.030]
[00:08.210] And if one day I should become
[00:10.030] A singer with a Spanish bum
[00:11.850] Who sings for women of great virtue
[00:14.730]
[00:15.480] I'd sing to them with a guitar
[00:17.230] I borrowed from a coffee bar
[00:18.920] Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
[00:22.670] My name would be Antonio
[00:24.040] And all my bridges I would burn
[00:26.420] And when I gave them some they'd know
[00:28.480] I'd expect something in return
[00:33.480] I'd have to get drunk every night
[00:35.350] And talk about virility
[00:37.040] With some old grandmother
[00:38.730] That might be decked out like a christmas tree
[00:43.170]
[00:44.230] And though pink elephants I'd see
[00:46.110] Though I'd be drunk as I could be
[00:47.800] Still I would sing my song to me
[00:49.730] About the time they called me "Jacky"
[00:52.230] If I could be for only an hour
[00:55.610] If I could be for an hour every day
[00:59.730] If I could be for just one little hour
[01:02.980] Cute in a stupid ass way
[01:08.230] .
[01:09.630] And if I joined the social whirl
[01:11.320] Became procurer of young girls
[01:13.190] Then i would have my own bordellos
[01:15.940]
[01:16.570] My record would be number one
[01:18.320] And I'd sell records by the ton
[01:20.070] All sung by many other fellows
[01:23.200]
[01:23.760] My name would then be handsome Jack
[01:25.700] And I'd sell boats of opium
[01:27.140] Whisky that came from Twickenham
[01:29.140] Authentic queers
[01:30.450] And phony virgins
[01:33.450]
[01:34.640] If I had banks on every finger
[01:36.700] A finger in every country
[01:37.760] And every country ruled by me
[01:39.760] I'd still know where I'd want to be
[01:45.330] Locked up inside my opium den
[01:47.070] Surrounded by some china men
[01:48.630] I'd sing the song that I sang then
[01:50.630] About the time they called me "Jacky"
[01:53.320] If I could be for only an hour
[01:57.070] If I could be for an hour every day
[02:00.930] If I could be for just one little hour
[02:04.120] Cute in a stupid ass way
[02:09.620]
[02:10.620] Now, tell me, wouldn't it be nice
[02:12.300] That if one day in paradise
[02:14.120] I'd sing for all the ladies up there
[02:17.620] And they would sing along with me
[02:19.370] And we be so happy there to be
[02:21.240] Cos' down below is really nowhere
[02:24.930] My name would then be Junipher
[02:26.680] Then I would know where I was going
[02:28.430] And then I would become all knowing
[02:30.060] My beard so very long and flowing
[02:35.870] If I became deaf, dumb and blind
[02:37.870] Because I pitied all mankind
[02:39.490] And broke my heart to make things right
[02:41.620] I know that every single night
[02:45.430]
[02:46.560] When my angelic work was through
[02:48.490] The angels and the Devil too
[02:49.990] Would sing my childhood song to me
[02:52.000] About the time they called me "Jacky"
[02:54.560] If I could be for only an hour
[02:58.180] If I could be for an hour every day
[03:02.090] If I could be for just one little hour
[03:04.570]
[03:05.820] Cute in a stupid ass way
