| European maids, hard to ignore
|
| You, me and the boys, barred from the shore
|
| Fresh-faced imbeciles laughing at me
|
| I’ve been laughing myself, is that so hard to see?
|
| Do I have to spell each letter out, honestly?
|
| If there’s no room for laughter, there’s no room for me, for me
|
| Try looking at you rather than me
|
| No truth is in here, it’s all fantasy
|
| Since the last time we met I’ve been through
|
| About seven hundred changes and that’s just a few
|
| And the changes all tend to be something to do
|
| But you’ve got to believe that they’re all done for you, for you
|
| Oh you’ll think it’s tragic when that moment first arrives
|
| Oh but it’s magic, it’s the best years of our lives
|
| Lost now for the words to tell you the truth
|
| Please banter with me the banter of youth
|
| If I knew how to say it, I would say it for you
|
| If I knew how to whisper, I’d whisper for you
|
| If I knew how to waltz, I’d get up and dance for you
|
| If I thought I could run, I’d come running to you, to you
|
| I’ve discovered now how to be fair
|
| This I could teach you if only I dare
|
| The only conclusion that I’ve reached in my life
|
| Is that if I should die, I should die by the knife
|
| Since it’s only a matter of courage, all right
|
| Die a man or a martyr, the two would be nice, so nice
|
| Oh you’ll think it’s tragic when that moment arrives
|
| Oh, oh but it’s magic, it’s the best years of our lives
|
| Oh you’ll think it’s tragic when that moment first arrives
|
| Oh, oh but it’s magic, it’s the best years of our lives |
