Hooray and Hallelujah
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.
She was the queen of all deception
I was a fool from out of town
After she showed me 'round reception
Whenever she could she'd put me
Down so I was on my knees
I'd like a lime with my coconut please
Chorus
Hooray and Hallelujah
Today it happened to ya
I was wrong
Shoulda looked right through ya
Said so long
To you ya shrew ya
I've seen more than I remember
I remember more than I have seen
No use for Gideon
January through December
Through every hotel, motel, Holiday Inn
Throw them TV's outside
It's Women's Weekly nationwide
Chorus
Bridge: And that good-bye note
She didn't send it
But when she said good-night
Boy, she really meant it
And then she took my heart
Without a kiss
Hissing vicious in my ear
You won't be needing this
I used to be a bona-fide winner
Strut into a room and laugh so loud
Right place, right time
A phenomena
Not just another face there in the crowd
Who passed out on the floor
The gravy train don't stop here anymore
