[00:08.210]And if one day I should become
[00:10.030]A singer with a Spanish bum
[00:11.850]Who sings for women of great virtue
[00:14.730]
[00:15.480]I'd sing to them with a guitar
[00:17.230]I borrowed from a coffee bar
[00:18.920]Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
[00:22.670]My name would be Antonio
[00:24.040]And all my bridges I would burn
[00:26.420]And when I gave them some they'd know
[00:28.480]I'd expect something in return
[00:33.480]I'd have to get drunk every night
[00:35.350]And talk about virility
[00:37.040]With some old grandmother
[00:38.730]That might be decked out like a christmas tree
[00:43.170]
[00:44.230]And though pink elephants I'd see
[00:46.110]Though I'd be drunk as I could be
[00:47.800]Still I would sing my song to me
[00:49.730]About the time they called me "Jacky"
[00:52.230]If I could be for only an hour
[00:55.610]If I could be for an hour every day
[00:59.730]If I could be for just one little hour
[01:02.980]Cute in a stupid ass way
[01:08.230].
[01:09.630]And if I joined the social whirl
[01:11.320]Became procurer of young girls
[01:13.190]Then i would have my own bordellos
[01:15.940]
[01:16.570]My record would be number one
[01:18.320]And I'd sell records by the ton
[01:20.070]All sung by many other fellows
[01:23.200]
[01:23.760]My name would then be handsome Jack
[01:25.700]And I'd sell boats of opium
[01:27.140]Whisky that came from Twickenham
[01:29.140]Authentic queers
[01:30.450]And phony virgins
[01:33.450]
[01:34.640]If I had banks on every finger
[01:36.700]A finger in every country
[01:37.760]And every country ruled by me
[01:39.760]I'd still know where I'd want to be
[01:45.330]Locked up inside my opium den
[01:47.070]Surrounded by some china men
[01:48.630]I'd sing the song that I sang then
[01:50.630]About the time they called me "Jacky"
[01:53.320]If I could be for only an hour
[01:57.070]If I could be for an hour every day
[02:00.930]If I could be for just one little hour
[02:04.120]Cute in a stupid ass way
[02:09.620]
[02:10.620]Now, tell me, wouldn't it be nice
[02:12.300]That if one day in paradise
[02:14.120]I'd sing for all the ladies up there
[02:17.620]And they would sing along with me
[02:19.370]And we be so happy there to be
[02:21.240]Cos' down below is really nowhere
[02:24.930]My name would then be Junipher
[02:26.680]Then I would know where I was going
[02:28.430]And then I would become all knowing
[02:30.060]My beard so very long and flowing
[02:35.870]If I became deaf, dumb and blind
[02:37.870]Because I pitied all mankind
[02:39.490]And broke my heart to make things right
[02:41.620]I know that every single night
[02:45.430]
[02:46.560]When my angelic work was through
[02:48.490]The angels and the Devil too
[02:49.990]Would sing my childhood song to me
[02:52.000]About the time they called me "Jacky"
[02:54.560]If I could be for only an hour
[02:58.180]If I could be for an hour every day
[03:02.090]If I could be for just one little hour
[03:04.570]
[03:05.820]Cute in a stupid ass way
