Also, I wish one day I should become a singer with a Spanish bum who sings for women of great virtue. I'd sing to them with a guitar I borrowed from a coffee bar; well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you.
My name would be Antonio and all my bridges I would burn, and when I gave them some they'd know I'd expect something in return. I'd have to get drunk every night and talk about virility with some old grandmother
that might be decked out like a christmas tree, and, though pink elephants I'd see, though I'd be drunk as I could be, still I would sing my song my song to me about the time they called me "Jacky."
If I could be for only an hour, if I could be for an hour every day, if I could be for just one little hour, cute in a stupid ass way. And if I joined the social whirl, became procurer of young girls, then I would have my own bordellos, my record would be number one and I'd sell records by the ton, all sung by many other fellows. My name would then be handsome Jack and I'd sell boats of opium, whisky that came from Twickenham, authentic queers and phony virgins.
If I had banks on every finger, a finger in every country and every country ruled by me, I'd still know where I'd want to be - locked up inside my opium den, surrounded by some china men. I'd sing the song that I sang then about the time they called me "Jacky."
If I could be for only an hour, if I could be for an hour every day, if I could be for just one little hour, cute in a stupid ass way Now, tell me, wouldn't it be nice, that if one day in paradise - I'd sing for all the ladies up there and they would sing along with me and we be so happy there to be, cos' down below is really nowhere. My name would then be Junipher,
then I would know where I was going and then I would become all knowing, my beard so very long and flowing. If I became deaf, dumb and blind because I pitied all mankind and broke my heart to make things right
I know that every single night when my angelic work was through the angels and the Devil too would sing my childhood song to me about the time they called me "Jacky."
If I could be for only an hour, if I could be for an hour every day, if I could be for just one little hour, cute in a stupid ass way.
