St. James Infirmary |
Oh, I’ve got a sheet for my bed and a pillow for my head |
I’ve got a pencil full of lead and some water for my throat |
I’ve got buttons for my coat and sails on my boat |
So much more than I needed before |
I got money in the meter and a two bar heater |
Oh, now it’s getting hotter, oh, it’s only getting sweeter |
I got legs on my chair and a head full of hair |
Pot and a pan and some shoes on my feet |
I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth |
A few pairs of socks and a door with a lock |
I got food in my belly and a license for my telly |
And nothing’s gonna bring me down |
Oh, no, oh |
Oh no, oh no, nothin’s gonna bring me down |
I got a nice guitar and tires on my car |
I got most of the means and scripts for the scenes |
I’m out and about so I’m in with a shout |
I got a fair bit of chat but better than that |
Food in my belly and a license for my telly |
And nothing’s going to bring me down |
Oh, nothin', oh, nothin' |
Nothing’s going to bring me down, oh |
But best of all I’ve got my baby |
Oh, best of all I’ve got my baby |
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine |
And nothing’s going to bring me down, oh, ooh |
Oh, best of all I’ve got my baby |
Oh, best of all I’ve got my baby |
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine |
And nothing’s going to bring me down |
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine |
And nothing’s going to bring me down |
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine |
And nothing’s going to bring me down, not today, no, no |
