Playboy of the Western World歌词

I knew a man once very long ago
They say that he was born in buffalo
But I don't believe it
Buffalo was never sufficiently gilded and pearled
And this man turned out to be
The play boy of the western world
Oh he was elegant past all dreaming
He made seeming seem like the real mccoy
All the sheiks of Araby all the shahs of Persia
Couldn't hold a candle to this boy
When he walked through a room
It looked as handsome as Napoleon's tomb
And the ford he rode
Could have been mercedes benz a la mode
When he took me out I didn't doubt
That we were going to the Astor or the Sherry Netherland
Spring seemed to linger
In the little bunch of flowers he pressed into my hand
Little bunch of flowers didn't cost a dime
Picked them in the park in their prime
He went around with his heart unfurled
The one and only play boy of the western world
You could fall in love with everyone you'd meet
When you walked with him down the street
Play boys die young this one did too
All worn out making dreams come true
And the world was grim again without him again
Without him
For he was elegant past all dreaming
He made seeming seem like the real mccoy
All the sheiks of Araby all the shahs of Persia
Couldn't hold a candle to this boy
When they took him out oh I didn't doubt
That he was going to Miami or some other wonderland
Spring seemed to linger
In the little bunch of flowers I pressed into his hand
Little bunch of flowers didn't cost a dime
Picked them in the park in their prime
He went around with his heart unfurled
The one and only play boy of the western world
He was the play boy of the western world
The play boy of the western world编辑于2024/01/19更新
