Lyrics
Curly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mister Mackan was a practical man,
CURLY was his only son,
And he loved him like no other can,
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum.
He discovered the world in a wonderful girl,
Though he played with more than one.
But he loved her like no other can.
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum
refrain:
Oh CURLY has she let you down and run?
Oh CURLY where's your girly? Where's she gone?
Ran all Over the town,
till he covered the ground,
Every inch of Liverpool,
In a way I feel so bad
That she let he be made a fool.
But remember she's right,
As we freeze in the night,
When the dawn took years to come,
Does he love her like no other can
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum
refrain
Now curse the day,
Yes it really shok you good.
Just broke away, no,
you didn't feel she would.
You didn't feel she would.
La-da-da, na- na- na- na-
Desolation tones play on
Though it breaks you CURLY
Can't you see what she has gone and done?
He discovered the world
Such a wonderful girl,
So he played with more than one,
But he loved her like no other can
Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum
Oh CURLY, where's she gone?
You didn't feel she would.
Feel she would. La-da-da,
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
