Cos I just realized that it was meant to be

And I'm singing to all the torn betting slips

Flying around my feet

I'm talking to all the chewing gum

That's stuck everywhere on the street

And they're ringing the bells all over the city on a Saturday night

Nobody knows why, but they know its gonna be alright



Cos it's gonna take a nitcomb to get rid of me

Cos I just realized that it was meant to be

I'm standing at the sale of the shoes of bankrupt men

I just had to buy a pair to show I can live again

They're ringing the bells all over the city on a Saturday night

Nobody knows why, but they know its gonna be alright



It's gonna take a nitcomb to get rid of me

Cos I just realized that it was meant to be

And they're banging on the sheets of metal, sheets of gold

And these were the finest shoes that were ever sold

Raining on roofs, raining on drums

Love buys a sixpack and gives it to the bums

They're ringing on the bells in the city on a Saturday night

Nobody knows why, but they know its gonna be alright
