"Don't Play That Song" (MP3)
I remember just a word it said
I remember just what it said
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to pat your bottom.
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon.
I'm going to pick her nose
I'm going to pick a rose
There is a Roman Spanish Harlem
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
There is a road in Spanish Harlem.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.
There is a rose in Spanish Island
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
There is a rose in Spanish omelet
A red rose up in Spanish omelet
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
There is a rovin' Spanish harlot.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.
There is a rovin' Spanish town.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.
And Darling, Darling
Stab me.
or
And Darling, Darling
Stay by me.
And Darling, Darling
Stand by me.
And the land is dumb
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only night we'll see.
And the moon is the only light we'll see.
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I... oh, s***, a tear.
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear.
No, I won't...s***, a tear!
No, I won't shed a tear.
Oh, s***, a tear!
No, I won't shed a tear.
Oh, s***, a tear.
Don't shed a tear.
Should crumble and fall
or
Should stumble and fall
Should tumble and fall
So Darwin, Darwin
So darlin', darlin'
And the lamb is dirty
And the land is dark
And the land is dumb
And the land is dark
And the land is dump
And the land is dark
My golly, golly, stand by me
And darling, darling, stand by me
