[length: 06:18]
[00:06.38]Let’s sing another song, boys
[00:09.98]This one has grown old and bitter
[00:15.76]
[00:27.75]Ah, his fingernails, I see they’re broken
[00:37.14]His ships, they’re all on fire
[00:45.29]The moneylender’s lovely little daughter
[00:51.74]Ah, she’s eaten, she’s eaten with desire
[01:01.51]She spies him through the glasses
[01:08.39]From the pawnshops of her wicked father
[01:17.55]She hails him with a microphone
[01:23.62]That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her
[01:33.62]She tempts him with a clarinet
[01:39.91]
[01:42.64]She waves a Nazi dagger
[01:49.68]She finds him lying in a heap
[01:55.52]
[01:57.84]She wants to be his woman
[02:03.89]
[02:05.98]He says, “Yes, I might go to sleep
[02:12.24]But kindly leave, leave the future
[02:17.24]Leave it open”
[02:22.59]He stands where it is steep
[02:26.49]Oh, I guess he thinks that he’s the very first one
[02:38.85]His hand upon his leather belt now
[02:44.64]Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner
[02:55.11]And she will learn to touch herself so well
[03:01.43]As all the sails burn down like paper
[03:11.66]And he has lit the chain
[03:17.77]
[03:20.35]Of his famous cigarillo
[03:26.65]Ah, they’ll never, they’ll never ever reach the moon
[03:35.80]At least not the one that we’re after
[03:44.16]It’s floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends
[03:51.30]And it carries no survivors
[04:00.89]But let’s leave these lovers wondering
[04:07.86]Why they cannot have each other
[04:17.39]And let’s sing another song, boys
[04:23.67]This one has grown old and bitter
