Testo Swingin' Man Jesse Malin
I am the swinginâ man perpetually on the lamFree as a bird or the girls in Amsterdam
Yellow taxi ride hey I never exercise
The devil when I speak or when I rise
Buddy Holly told me you canât save rock n roll
Itâs only for the lonely boys and girls
Iâm a courageous cat down at the Laundromat
A sacred cow I never took a vow
Like old buildings and whores
Politicians and wars
All get respect man if they last this long
They used to call her Mary
But she changed her name to Raph
Life was something scary till she laughed
We never had a baby but she got more tattoos
And I got more material for the blues
Summerâs rolling in
I want to lose this skin
They call it art but sometimes itâs just a sin
I am a swinginâ man
Hey I smile on command
I donât know when or how you got to me
We never had a baby but she got more tattoos
And I got more material for the blues
