Текст песни:

[Verse 1]
Well, once I was persuaded to open up my head
I told them how it was and went and got it wrong instead
I said, would you believe me if you only knew
I'd been stealing everything, this conversation's through

[Pre-Chorus]
And the boy cried, hang him at three
I saw him on the front page, laughing at me
He worked in a fairground in a tall hat
He's a liar, he's a liar, a good one at that
[Chorus]
Say what you wanna, say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey, kick like a mule
I could be a beggar, but I'd rather be just as cruel

[Verse 2]
So I told them all I could about what could they expect
But I lost my sense of smell and I gained my self-respect
They told me I was curious, I told them they were slow
And they asked me where I get this stuff, I told them I don't know

[Pre-Chorus]
And the boy cried whopie-deedee
There's a women with a mustache who won't let me be
Though she was born on a Monday, she's a hundred and four
She's a liar, she's a liar, a little bit more

[Chorus]
Say what you wanna, say what you will
Writes her number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey, kick like a mule
I could be a beggar, but I'd rather be just as cruel

[Guitar solo]

  • She can't help it, the girl can't help it You can find her scratching around in the dark Just another candle chasing a spark You can find her screaming along with the ghosts Reminds you she's the one you needed the most And then you're out there on your own again No one believes you when you lie I still see all the old girls now and then Catching the moonlight as they cry She can't help it, the girl can't help it The wrong way round's the right way up when she calls You can laugh but it won't mean nothing at all Yes you can find her scratching away in her room Stumblin' round by the light of the stragglers moon And then you're out there digging holes again Six million people can't be wrong Some day you'll buy the perfect soul and then you can get back where you belong And then you're out there on your own again No one believes you when you lie I still see all the old girls now and then catching the moonlight when they cry

  • 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 And 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 as my own I learnt it in the gutter One night crawling home She said don't you look rediculous I checked her out meticulously And I would've stopped to argue But my teeth were broke I said I'd love to condradict 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 it right 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 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 it right 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 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 I haven't seen her lately Well, I'll have to ring her Put your hands together for the Acid Jazz Singer, come on
