Van Tango
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.
Van Tango had a mean old scene, Van Tango
Van Tango had a mean old scene, Van Tango
He worked night-shift at the opera
Watching the girls go by
He's singled out tonight
He's singled out every night
Caretaker of the night, he's the king of the night
Caretaker of the night, he's the king of the night
Caretaker of the night, he's the king of the night
Caretaker of the night, yeah, yeah
He's the king of the night
Van Tango had a mean old scene, Van Tango
Van Tango had a mean old scene, Van Tango
He wore his quiff Venetian style
His fags were cheap, but with a filter
He don't suck up to none
He don't suck up to none at all
Van Tango, Van Tango, Van Tango, Van Tango
Caretaker of the night, he's the King of the night
Caretaker of the night, he's the King of the night
Caretaker of the night, he's the King of the night
Caretaker of the night, watch out
He's the king of the night
Van Tango, Van Tango, Van Tango, Van Tango
Caretaker of the night, he's the king of the night
Caretaker of the night, he's the king of the night
Caretaker of the night, he's the king of the night
Caretaker of the night, watch out
He's the king of the night
