Charles Bukowski - About a trip to Spain lyrics
[Charles Bukowski - About a trip to Spain lyrics]
In New York in those days they had
A system at the track
Where you bought a ticket
And tried to pick 5 winners in a row
And Harry took $1000
And went up to the window and said
"1, 8, 3, 7, 5"
And that's the way they came
And so he took his wife to Spain
With all that money
And his wife fell for the
Mayor of this little
Village in Spain and fd him
And the marriage was over
And Harry came back to Brooklyn broke
And mutilated
And he has since been a little crazy ever
Since, but harry, don't despair
For you are a genius
For who had enough pure faith
And enough courage to go up to the window
And against all the gods of logic:
"1, 8, 3, 7, 5"? You did it
Yes, she got the mayor
But you're the real winner forever
A system at the track
Where you bought a ticket
And tried to pick 5 winners in a row
And Harry took $1000
And went up to the window and said
"1, 8, 3, 7, 5"
And that's the way they came
And so he took his wife to Spain
With all that money
And his wife fell for the
Mayor of this little
Village in Spain and fd him
And the marriage was over
And Harry came back to Brooklyn broke
And mutilated
And he has since been a little crazy ever
Since, but harry, don't despair
For you are a genius
For who had enough pure faith
And enough courage to go up to the window
And against all the gods of logic:
"1, 8, 3, 7, 5"? You did it
Yes, she got the mayor
But you're the real winner forever
