Written by:Jacques Brel/Gérard Jouannest/Jacques BrelGérard Jouannest[00:00:00]
And if one day I should become[00:00:12]
A singer with a Spanish bum[00:00:14]
Who sings for women of great virtue[00:00:16]
I'd sing to them with a guitar[00:00:19]
I borrowed from a coffee bar[00:00:21]
Well what you don't know doesn't hurt you[00:00:23]
My name would be Antonio[00:00:27]
And all my bridges I would burn[00:00:28]
And when I gave them some they'd know[00:00:30]
I'd expect something in return[00:00:33]
I'd have to get drunk every night[00:00:37]
And talk about virility[00:00:39]
With some old grandmother[00:00:41]
That might be decked out like a Christmas tree[00:00:42]
And though pink elephants I'd see[00:00:48]
Though I'd be drunk as I could be[00:00:50]
Still I would sing my song to me[00:00:52]
About the time they called me Jacky[00:00:53]
If I could be for only an hour[00:00:56]
If I could be for an hour every day[00:01:00]
If I could be for just one little hour[00:01:04]
Cute in a stupid a** way[00:01:07]
And if I joined the social whirl[00:01:13]
Became procurer of young girls[00:01:15]
Then I would have my own bordellos[00:01:17]
My record would be number one[00:01:20]
And I'd sell records by the ton[00:01:22]
All sung by many other fellows[00:01:24]
My name would then be handsome Jack[00:01:28]
And I'd sell boats of opium[00:01:29]
Whisky that came from Twickenham[00:01:31]
Authentic queers[00:01:33]
And phony virgins[00:01:34]
If I had banks on every finger[00:01:39]
A finger in every country[00:01:40]
And every country ruled by me[00:01:42]
I'd still know where I'd want to be[00:01:44]
Locked up inside my o***m den[00:01:49]
Surrounded by some china men[00:01:51]
I'd sing the song that I sang then[00:01:53]
About the time they called me Jacky[00:01:54]
If I could be for only an hour[00:01:57]
If I could be for an hour every day[00:02:01]
If I could be for just one little hour[00:02:05]
Cute in a stupid a** way[00:02:08]
Now tell me wouldn't it be nice[00:02:14]
That if one day in paradise[00:02:16]
I'd sing for all the ladies up there[00:02:18]
And they would sing along with me[00:02:22]
And we be so happy there to be[00:02:23]
'Cos down below is really nowhere[00:02:25]
My name would then be Junipher[00:02:29]
Then I would know where I was going[00:02:31]
And then I would become all knowing[00:02:32]
My beard so very long and flowing[00:02:34]
If I became deaf dumb and blind[00:02:40]
Because I pitied all mankind[00:02:42]
And broke my heart to make things right[00:02:43]
I know that every single night[00:02:45]
When my angelic work was through[00:02:50]
The angels and the Devil too[00:02:52]
Would sing my childhood song to me[00:02:54]
About the time they called me Jacky[00:02:56]
If I could be for only an hour[00:02:58]
If I could be for an hour every day[00:03:02]
If I could be for just one little hour[00:03:06]
Cute in a stupid a** way[00:03:09]
