Lyrics The Fratellis

The Fratellis

Acid Jazz Singer

Well let me tell you something

Let me tell you so

This could be the one thing

That you really need to know

You gotta stop once in a while

Shake off that face of yours

Cause nothing comes easy

Oh it just comes free

You could sing it better

If you sing for me, oh sister

Well I cannot claim

This advice is my own

I landed 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

And she said I'm no genius and I've lost myself

The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf

And it's a one time, keep it slow

Wind 'em up and here we go

Get a ride today

And you would still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly

Some she was a swinger

Me, I only knew her as the acid jazz singer, come on

Well I'm a lucky man

But maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be

It's all based on speculation

It's a crazy my occupation to me

And though I didn't much believe her

I was bound to call

I really didn't wanna miss a single thing at all

Oh sister

And she said I'm no genius and I've lost myself

The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf

And it's a one time, keep it slow

Wind 'em up and here we go

Get a ride today

And you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly

Some she was a swinger

Me, I only knew her as the Acid Jazz Singer, come on

And she said I'm no genius and I've lost myself

The books are on the table, and the secret's on the shelf

And it's a one time, keep it slow

Wind 'em up and here we go

Get a ride today

And you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly

Some she was a swinger

Me, I only knew her as an acid jazz singer, come on

I haven't seen her lately

Well, I'll have to ring her

Put your hands together for the acid jazz singer, come on

La, la, la, oh

La, la, la, oh

La, la, la, oh

Come on

Come on

Come on
