WHIP AROUND THE SUN
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)
Gonna get me a Geisha
Get Ferragamo shoes
Gonna get a Masarati
but I'll keep on playing the blues
Gonna get me twelve accountants
Gonna get some antique glass
gonna get a house in Beverly Hills
but keep on loving jazz
*scat*
Gonna stock my fridge with fish eggs
and the Perignon will flow
I'll jam every winter in the Florida Keys
but only play Rock and Roll
Come on Delilah!
Show me your knife
Come on Delilah
I'll show you my hair
We'll whip around the sun
and grab a couple of shakes
and have no cause to be there
I'll get a dietician
and a chef to cook all my meals
I'll dress down when I'm on the town
and expound about Bakersfield
I'll remember where I came from
and be humble during the show
Got no desire to see the UAE
but it's where people like me should go
Come on Delilah!
Show me your knife
Come on Delilah
I'll show you my hair
We'll whip around the sun
and grab a couple of shakes
and have no cause to be there
(Bridge)
I beg your pardon
I'm chatting with snakes in my garden
being understood is so nice
it's like they really know me
they know my soul doesn't have a price
Gonna get a global conscience
gonna get an addiction to fight
Gonna hang with all my heroes
and play folk songs every night
Money won't ever change me
I'll spot when it all goes wrong
I'll use 48K Helix speakers
to hear Woody Guthrie songs
