The Jazz Butcher

Lyrics

Forever
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
For ever and ever and ever and ever
A thing of beauty is a thing to treasure
For ever and ever and ever and ever
Like taking Tiger Mountain, Loaded as well
Sterling and Nancy, the Sikkorskis from Hell
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
But be careful where you walk.

I came down like a building in Bremen
Wham bam terrific and I don't feel ashamed
And if you ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies
I ain't here for long and I don't need ties
Now, not ever not ever, ooh not ever
I ride on the bus and I don't care about the weather
A thing of beauty is a joy forever but be careful
Oh why don't you be careful
Where you walk.
