I know there's a word for this
I know there's a word for the way I'm feeling
I know there's a word for this
I know it, and it's on the tip of my tongue
and it won't go any further.
I know there's a word for this
I know, 'cause it's in the dictionary
and when I find what it is
I'll write it down in case it comes up again
I'll be certain to avoid it.
So, take this down:
I just feel so beat
and I think it's time
to admit defeat
I thought I got mine
but that uphill climbing
is never through.
San Francisco Bay Blues
OW! OW!
WELL, WHEN I'M WALKING WITH MY BABY
DOWN BY THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY,
THE OCEAN LINER IS GOING SO FAR AWAY,
I DIDN'T MEAN TO TREAT HER SO BAD,
SHE WAS THE BEST PAL I EVER HAD.
SHE MADE ME CRY, SHE MADE ME SIGH,
I WANNA LAY DOWN AND DIE.
WELL, I AIN'T GOT A DOLLAR, I DON'T GIVE A LOUSY DIME,
AND IF SHE NEVER COMES BACK, YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA LOSE MY MIND.
BUT IF SHE EVER COME BACK TO STAY, IT'S GONNA BE A BRAND NEW DAY,
WHEN I'M WALKING WITH MY BABY
DOWN BY THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY, HEY, YEAH.
YIHAY!
YIHAY!
OH! OH! OH!
OH YEAH, I DON'T GIVE A LOUSY DIME!
GONNA LOSE MY MIND!
BUT IF SHE EVER...
YES, IT'S GONNA BE A...
WALKING...
YEAH, YEAH.
