Acid Jazz Singer - The Fratellis

Well, let me tell you something, let me tell you so

This could be the one thing that you really need to know

You got to stop once in a while and shake off that face of yours

'Cause nothing comes easy, oh, it just comes free

You could sing it better if you’d sing it for me, oh sister

Well, I cannot claim this advice as my own

I learned it in the gutter one night, crawling home

She said, «Don't you look ridiculous?»

I checked her out meticulously

And I would’ve stopped to argue but my teeth were broke

I said, «I'd love to contradict you, but my life’s a joke, oh sister»

She said I’m no genius and I’ve lost my self

The books are on the table and the secret’s on the shelf

And it’s one time, keep it slow, wind them up and here we go

Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly, to some she was a swinger

Me, I only knew her as an acid jazz singer, come on

Well, I’m a lucky man and maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be

It’s all based on speculation

Seems a crazy occupation to me

And though I didn’t much believe her I was bound to call

I really didn’t want to miss a single thing at all, oh sister

She said, «I'm no genius and I’ve lost my self

The books are on the table and the secret’s on the shelf»

And it’s one time, keep it slow, wind them up and here we go

Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly, to some she was a swinger

Me, I only knew her as an acid jazz singer, come on

She said, «I'm no genius and I’ve lost my self

The books are on the table and the secret’s on the shelf»

And it’s one time, keep it slow, wind them up and here we go

Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly, to some she was a swinger

Me, I only knew her as an acid jazz singer, come on

I haven’t seen her lately, man, I have to ring her

Put your hands together for the acid jazz singer come on
