Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

Coolsville

I and Braggar, and Junior Lee,

Well that's the way we always thought it would be

In the wind-strewn leaves of September, how we met

Decked out like aces, we'd beat anybody's bet

'Cause we was Coolsville

'Cause we was Coolsville

Well you stick it here;

You stick it over there;

But it never fits

And now a hungry night you want more and more

And you chip in your little kiss.

Well, I jumped all his jokers,

But he trumped all my tricks

And I swear to God I thought this one was smart enough to

Stick it into Coolsville

Yeah stick it into Coolsville

So now it's J and be, and me, and that sounds close,

But it ain't the same (well, that's okay)

Hot City don't hurt that much but everything feels the same

Well the real thing come and the real thing go

Well the real thing is back in town

Ask me if you want to know The way to Coolsville.

(Well I hear you want to go back to Coolsville

Well come on honey, take you back to Coolsville)
