Gypsy Love Songs |
Tropical night, malaria moon |
Dying stars of the silver screen |
Oh she danced that famous gypsy dance |
With a hole in her tambourine |
I was young enough and dumb enough |
I swallowed down my Mickey Finn |
She’d hijacked a few hearts, all right |
I went into a tail spin |
Oh, don’t sing me, don’t sing me |
Don’t sing me no more gypsy love songs |
Don’t sing me, don’t sing me |
Don’t sing me no more gypsy love songs |
Don’t stir it up again |
I put my arm around her waist |
Says she «Young man, you’re getting warm» |
The room was going somewhere without me |
And she laughed as she read my palm |
Oh, don’t sing me, don’t sing me |
Don’t sing me no more gypsy love songs |
Don’t sing me, don’t sing me |
Don’t sing me no more gypsy love songs |
Don’t stir it up again |
Oh stillborn love, passionate dreams, pitiful greed |
And the silver tongues of the tinker girls |
Who throw the book of life at you |
But they don’t know how to read |
She was a third generation Transylvanian |
I was the seventh son of a seventh son |
I begged the band «Don't play that tune |
Please don’t beguine the begun» |
When I awoke, she’d cut and run |
She stole my blueprints and my change |
Just a horseshoe and a note on the bed |
And all it read was «Strange» |
Don’t sing me, don’t sing me |
Don’t sing me no more gypsy love songs |
Don’t sing me, don’t sing me |
Don’t sing me, don’t sing me |
Don’t sing me no more gypsy love songs |
Don’t stir it up again |
