Gotta Go Now
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.
Didn't anyone teach you
How to shoot a gun
And if you keep your eyes that way
They'll never come undone
So look both ways
Before you cross your heart
And hope to die
For your sins
Go to hell
And never come back again
I've gotta go now...
Mmm mmm mmm ...
Freedom of speech is fine
As long as you don't cross the line
So don't move next door
Don't pick up any whores
And don't show anyone your sores
They'll be no white sheets on my block
But my daughter would never marry a black man
So look both ways
Before you cross your heart
And hope to die
For your wins
Go to hell
And never come back again
I've gotta go now ...
Mmm mmm mmm ...
Women can work
As long as dinner is done
And if you let little girls play with trucks
Their sexuality gets all screwed up
And Polish jokes
Are just for fun
You know
Jewish men make good lawyers
And the Chinese know how to clean
And the French are all full of themselves
And who really cares about the Vietnamese
So look both ways
Before you cross your heart
And hope to die
For your sins
Go to hell
And never comeback again
We wonder and then
Walk away with disease
Away with all of the Gays
I've gotta go now ...
Mmm mmm mmm ...
