Ballad of the Last Five Years

Lyrics

Gary lives with Rosie Be Bop got something old and something new Mmm, baby darlin' Gary lives with Rosie Be Bop got something old and something new Hey, watch 'em run away I got something fine for you every minute now If you wanna sit right down and stick it all right through Hey, watch 'em run around Gettin' tired of Johnny And all the big boys from N.Y.C Hey, hey, watch 'em run around Gettin' tired of Johnny and Sally and Felix and Eddie And all the big boys from N.Y.C Hey, hey, watch 'em run around They say "Jump on board, pretty baby" And I don't know, but It seem like it might be a pretty good buzz to me Hey, here they go away They'll help you and they'll hurt you You're asked to leave so much behind Hey, watch 'em run away They'll help you and they'll hurt you and help you and hurt you You're asked to leave so goddamn much behind Hey, watch 'em roll away They say forget about tomorrow And concentrate on everything you know you're gonna find Hey, hey, here they go away So, move over, red robin Have you got room for one more that just can't seem to win? There's no sense denying That's your best reason 'round for crying Those days will never be 'round again Oh, move over, red robin Have you got room for one more that just can't seem to win? There's no sense denying That's your best reason on Earth for crying Those days will never be 'round again There's Jackie and there's Brian Then there's four, then there's five and then a couple more Hey, hey, watch 'em run around There's Jackie and there's Brian Then there's four, then there's five and then a couple more Uh-uh, watch 'em run around You be a good boy and don't drink too much I'll show you something Maybe one trick later on, maybe a couple more Hey, hey, hey So, step right up and put your music where your mouth is Pretty boys can make room for one more that just can't seem to win There's no sense denying That's the reason they found ya' crying Your chance will never come 'round again Why don't ya' move over, red robin? Have you got room for one more that just can't seem to win? There's no sense denying That's your best reason on Earth for crying Those days will never be 'round again But I'll, I'll help you in the meantime Figure out just what how much they're worth when they're gone Hey, hey, watch 'em run away I'll help you out in the meantime To total up just what they're worth when they're gone Hey, watch 'em run away You don't get it right the first time, pretty baby I'll help you take one more crack at it much, much later on Hey, now, hey, hey, yeah, you come right down Gary lives with Rosie Be Bop got something old and something new Mmm, mmm, mmm Gary lives with Rosie Be Bop got something old and something new Hey, watch 'em run away I got something fine for you every minute now You wanna sit right down and stick it all right through Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Gettin' tired of Johnny And all the big boys from N.Y.C Hey, hey, watch 'em run around Gettin' tired, gettin' tired, gettin' tired, gettin' tired of Johnny And all the big boys from N.Y.C Hey, hey, watch 'em run around
