Lyrics

Bam salute and all the right and reason now are out of reach They ran away with beauty baby - out to Bop-A-Re-Bop Beach Bam Salute and when the work is over what can baby do? But undermine and overthrow the cheatin' of the chosen few Bop-A-Re-Bop beach now baby Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time And last but not least -- in the heart of the beast There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago Bam Salute and all the just and proper you've been waiting for Sailed away with virtue baby - out to Bop-A-Re-Bop shore Bam Salute and now the judge and jury - you can lock away And all your world's abandoned to - the wages for a working day Bop-A-Re-Bop shore now baby Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time And last but not least -- in the heart of the beast There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago Oh the one thing I know - is that wherever you go You won't find the peace of mind you're looking for - not any more And since that's the case -- put a smile on your face You can love me - we can live above the law (oh no) Oh first and foremost --ooh you gotta get close To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time And last but not least -- in the heart of the beast There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago Oh first and foremost -- ooh you gotta get close To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time -- ahh Oh no -- ahh -- Oh first and foremost -- ooh you gotta get close To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time And last but not least -- in the heart of the beast There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long ago (oh no) Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close To the money and the madness that are mine - at any time
