Bam Salute

Bam Salute and all the right and reason now are out of reach

They ran away with beauty baby - out to Bop-A-Re-Bop beach

Bam Salute and when the work is over what can baby do

But undermine and overthrow the cheatin' of the chosen few

Bop-A-Re-Bop beach now baby

Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close

To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time

And last but not least - in the heart of the beast

There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago

Bam Salute and all the just and proper you've been waiting for

Sailed away with virtue baby - out to Bop-A-Re-Bop shore

Bam Salute and now the judge and jury - you can lock away

And all your world's abandoned to - the wages for a working day

Bop-A-Re-Bop shore now baby

Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close

To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time

And last but not least - in the heart of the beast

There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago

Oh the one thing I know - is that wherever you go

You won't find the peace of mind you're looking for - not any more

And since that's the case - put a smile on your face

You can love me - we can live above the law

Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close

To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time

And last but not least - in the heart of the beast

There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago
