Lyrics

[Refrain] La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la [Verse 1] Heads or tails once I forget I'm trying to master a new alphabet Far too obliging to ever admit I've never been keen on this 'Here boy' and 'Sit' ([?]) ([?]) [Verse 2] I don't want that ghost coming back again Who will play fair? For when I say this is double or quits ([?]) I double and stay-ay-ay ([?]) ([?]) ([?]) [Chorus] One fine day there must be some old saying I can say with truth in my heart No sub-clauses in the way, and now make a start The devil always has the finest tunes Of course it's always over much too soon [Refrain] La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la [Bridge] Open yolk, there was a time I'd smile Tell (many lies) Like I want you then so I want you now Lighting will pеrpetuate your mess As I count (on my fingеrs) That we add up to so much less ([?]) (People can't be honey bees always) [Verse 3] Fee-fi-fee, fo-fi-fum I see you have met my stumbling tongue Just one more faux-pas that I can commit Learning the French for my eternal wit ([?]) ([?]) [Verse 4] I'm standing outside this narrative What can I do? Should I feign sleep Or just cloister my heart and bury it deep? ([?]) (By-the-by [?]) ([?] construction) [Chorus] One fine day, there must be some old saying I can say with truth in my heart No sub-clauses in the way, and now make a start The devil always has the finest tunes Of course it's always over much too soon There must be someone saying I can say with truth in my heart Paul McCartney's 'Yesterday', and now make a start The devil always has the finest tunes And of course it's always over much too soon There must be some old saying I can say with truth in my heart Paul McCartney's 'Yesterday', and now make a start The devil always has the finest tunes And of course it's always over much too soon [Refrain] La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la
