The girls are hep 'n' the men are divine 'N' everything is gin and roses You are new to me an' I'm so happy You can whisper and I will listen The world becomes a motion picture I got it beat oh I got it licked, yeah Rock-a-boy blue It seems so sad But the film goes dim like a faraway star A frozen frame like silver paper When the kissing gets very hard Just to try and get at something When the representatives turn to leaders As long as you know as long as you need us We'll be there You know it's true Don't they love like a rock-a-boy should Don't they rock like lonely lovers Don't they want to make the money Don't they want to be the Beatles Things ain't clear, they're just transparent The trick of the trade is to make them apparently Rock-a-boy blue You know that I said that you know that I learned to live with the beats in the bar Made me sick with repetition I learned to love that one note samba No surprise or definition I guess I can learn to love what I used to If you can get used to just getting used by Rock-a-boy blue Baby, then more fool you I learned to live with the beats in the bar That made me sick with repetition I learned to love that one note samba No surprise or definition I guess I can learn to love what I used to If you can get used to just getting used by Rock-a-boy blue Baby, more fool you
