And if 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'd borrow from a coffee bar

If I could be for just one little hour
Cute - in a stupid-assed 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 si
