Tom Waits - On The Nickel songtekst
Je score:
Sticks and stones will break my bones, But I always will be true And when your mama's dead and gone, I'll sing this lullaby just for you What becomes of all the little boys? Who never comb their hair They're lined up all around the block, On the Nickel over there So you'd better bring a bucket, There's a hole in the pail And if you don't get my letter, Then you'll know that I'm in jail So what becomes of all the little boys? Who never say their prayers They're sleeping like a baby, On the Nickel over there And if you chew tobaccco, And wish upon a star You'll find out where the scarecrows sit, Just like punchlines between the cars I know a place where a Royal Flush, Can never beat a pair And even Thomas Jefferson Is on the Nickel over there Ring around the rosie, Sleeping in the rain You're always late for supper, And man you let me down, let me down again I thought I heard a mockingbird, Roosevelt knows where You can skip the light with Grady Tuck, On the Nickel over there So what becomes of all the little boys? Who run away from home The world just keeps gettin' bigger, Once you get out on your own So hear's to all the little boys, The sandman takes you where Sleeping with a pillow man, On the Nickel over there So climb up through that button hole, And fall right up the stairs I'll show you where the short dogs grow, On the Nickel, now, over there
