The Fratellis - Acid Jazz Singer lyrics
[The Fratellis - Acid Jazz Singer lyrics]
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
Come on, come on, come on
La la la la la la oh la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la oh la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la oh la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la oh la la la la la la oh
Come on come on
Come on
Let me tell you so

And shake off that face of yours
'Cause nothing comes easy, oh
