Jacky 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
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt youMy name would be Antonio
And all my bridges I would burn
And when I gave them some they'd know
I'd expect something in returnI'd have to get drunk every night
And talk about virility
With some old grandmother
That might be decked out like a Christmas treeAnd no pink elephants I'd see
Though I'd be drunk as I could be
I'd sing that song they sang to me
About the time they called me 'Jacky'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 in a stupid ass wayAnd if I joined the social whirl
Became procurer of young girls
Then I could have my own bordellos
My record would be number one
And I'd sell records by the ton
All sung by many other fellowsMy name would then be Handsome Jack
And I'd sell boats of opium
Whiskey that came from Twickenham
Authentic queens and phoney virginsI'd have a bank on every finger
A finger in every country
And every country ruled by me
I'd still know where I wanna beLocked up inside my opium den
Surrounded by some china men
I'd sing the song that I sang then
About the time they called me 'Jacky'If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
And I could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass wayNow tell me, wouldn't it be nice
That if one day in paradise
I'd sing for all the ladies up there?
And they would sing along with me
And we be so happy there to be
'Cause down below is really nowhereMy name would then be Jupiter
Then I would know where I was going
Become all knowing
My beard so very long and flowingIf I could play deaf, dumb and blind
Because I pitied all mankind
And broke my heart to make things right
I know that every single nightWhen my angelic work was through
The Angels and the Devil too
Could sing my childhood song to me
About the time they called me 'Jacky'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 in a stupid ass way
